Therefore, the U.S. Empire has no way to completely eliminate commodities with strong demand, no matter how hard it cracks down on smuggling at the border.
Even though deep sleep aids are unavailable and their prices continue to rise, they will eventually flow into the American empire.
It's like flour. Flour is a disguised essential product in the American Empire if trade is suddenly interrupted.
The price of flour will naturally skyrocket, and then some people will take risks at this high price. Eventually, the border will quickly become corrupt due to money, and the smuggling channel will be reopened.
It can be said that Lin Feng’s outrageous move really succeeded in disgusting the American Empire’s business department, making them feel extremely disgusted.
“Why don’t we cut off Xingtu Technology’s network cable? Their deep sleep aid completely relies on Daxia’s artificial intelligence Jarvis.
As long as we cut off Xingtu Technology's network cable, the deep sleep aid device will be nothing more than a useless brick."
A young foreigner at the scene expressed his opinion, and this opinion is also the fatal weakness of the deep sleep aid device.
Because if the United States really cuts off the Internet cable of Xingtu Technology, it can indeed turn the deep sleep aid device into a useless brick.
But his suggestion was immediately met with a wave of eye rolls, and then an old foreigner said helplessly:
“We cannot cut off Xingtu Technology’s network cable because if we do, the reaction and consequences will be too great.
After all, there are more than 3000 million people in the United States who are fans of deep sleep aids.
After experiencing the powerful effects of the deep sleep aid, they have become completely dependent on it.
They are just like 'flour eaters'. Unless they are forcibly isolated and controlled, they cannot leave the deep sleep aid device. "
Hearing this, the people at the scene couldn't help but shudder.
Because as long as they imagine the scene of having to face more than 3000 million angry people after cutting off the Internet cable, they will completely give up the idea of cutting off Xingtu Technology's Internet cable.
After all, these are more than 3000 million angry citizens of the American empire. Once they get angry, it's more than their small bodies can handle.
It can be said that it doesn’t matter even if this position is lost, because at worst you can just lie dormant for a few years and then come back to power.
Once we really offend the more than 3000 million angry American citizens, there will be real risks to our personal safety.
So in the following time, everyone became tacitly aware of each other.
No one dared to suggest cutting off Xingtu Technology’s Internet cable and turning the deep sleep aid device into a useless brick.
In the meantime, the only thing they can do is to do their best to criticize and discredit the deep sleep aid device in public opinion and completely demonize it.
This makes people afraid of deep sleep aids and thus dare not buy them.
As for how to publicize it in public opinion?
Naturally, it was discredited through movies, TV dramas, novels, TV reports and even newspapers.
For example, having a doctor promote a deep sleep aid will secretly brainwash people.
Or a quality inspection agency claims that using a deep sleep aid can cause cancer, brain tumors, etc.
It can be said that if one really wants to find reasons to discredit, there are plenty of reasons.
You can easily find a dozen reasons to discredit it, which will make people afraid to buy deep sleep assistance devices.
As for whether people believe it or not?
As the saying goes, lies become truths when told enough times. Wasn't it by this trick that they made the US Empire a beacon for the overseas people and made the overseas people around the world "spiritual citizens of the US Empire"?
Therefore, although this method of manipulating public opinion is despicable, its effect is indeed dozens of times better than increasing border smuggling.
Of course, these public suppressions can only curb the expansion speed of deep sleep assistance devices, and there is no way to completely limit the continuous growth of deep sleep assistance device users.
Because those more than 3000 million users are natural free promoters!
Because they use a deep sleep aid, they can naturally stay in a deep sleep state for a long time when they sleep.
Therefore, their mental outlook, memory ability, thinking ability, and physical health are different from those of other people.
This change is not obvious in the long run, but if someone suddenly uses a deep sleep aid, the change in mental appearance will be quite obvious.
And these obvious changes will make others curious.
When they finally learn the truth, they will become curious about deep sleep aids and become users of Xingtu Technology.
……
On the other hand, while the U.S. Empire's Department of Commerce was thinking of ways to deal with Xingtu Technology, Xingtu Technology was also doing something that was enough to make them bleed.
At this time, digital factories, state-owned factories, and research institutes scattered across the country suddenly received assembling orders from their superiors.
After gathering the researchers together, the superiors gave them a stack of material formulas or semiconductor chip production equipment drawings that they had obtained from nowhere.
When the researchers took over the stack of information and saw the terms of the formulas or mechanical drawings, they all fell into a state of excitement.
Because there are many things there that are exactly what they desire but cannot get.
In terms of materials, there are various types of high-performance metal alloys, special ceramics, special glass, special engineering plastics, composite materials, polymer materials, photoresists...
Although the drawings of the chip production equipment are not very detailed, there are only simple design drawings of the key parts accompanied by text descriptions.
But even so, for researchers who are developing semiconductor equipment.
After reading the simple design drawings and text descriptions, they already had a research and development idea in their minds.
I can only say that this is a problem of a layer of window paper. If you don't break the window paper, then you won't know what to do even if you rack your brains.
And when you break through that layer of window paper, you will feel that it is just a matter of changing the way of thinking, but it has taken us so long...
It can be said that when those scientific researchers saw the material formulas and mechanical drawings, they were all eager to try them out and wanted to conduct some experiments immediately.
Naturally, the superiors fully supported this and allocated a special fund that had just been approved to handle this matter.
Although Xingtu Technology is the biggest beneficiary after these material formulas and machine drawings are manufactured, Daxia is actually the biggest beneficiary as well.
Because a machine is composed of nothing more than four parts: theory, design, materials, and manufacturing. Once these four parts are solved, a machine or instrument will be born.
In fact, a large part of materials are universal, and the material formulas that Xingtu Technology has come up with can be implemented at this time.
Then many of Daxia’s high-tech scientific research instruments and production equipment will achieve breakthroughs. This is the importance of breakthroughs in materials.
So, in the famous Shenyang Metal Research Institute in Daxia, a large-scale meeting with far-reaching impact is taking place. (End of this chapter)
