"Don't panic." Ji Yuan's eyes flashed as he nodded at them, "Leave everything to me."
It was already anticipated that America would cause trouble at the Global Cutting-Edge Technology Expo; how could the Eastern powers not have a comprehensive plan?
In particular, they provided Ji Yuan with a lot of information regarding the weaknesses of the Eastern powers.
This preparation ensured that he wouldn't be caught off guard when the time came!
However, most of the other research team members were unaware of this. But since Ji Yuan had spoken, they all felt reassured and managed to suppress their rising tension.
Past examples had repeatedly proven that Ji Yuan was someone who could create miracles.
Since he said there was no problem, then there would definitely be no problem.
With Ji Yuan as their team leader, even if they faced accountability later, their superiors wouldn't single any one of them out for blame!
Among them, there weren't many who understood energy well.
To be precise, there was only one energy scientist here, and his specialty was electrical energy.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was just filling in numbers.
His expertise had little to do with the theme of the conference discussions.
Even those involved in strategic planning for the Eastern powers didn't expect America to take such drastic measures, employing a tactic that was almost like pulling the rug out from under them.
To say it wasn't targeted would be absurd.
Some even suspect that this topic was hastily determined by America, replacing the original topic, just to catch the Eastern power off guard. The domestic internet world of the Eastern power has already been stirred up.
"America is so shameless! It's clearly targeting us with an energy theme!"
"Indeed, when a person has no shame, they become invincible. America doesn't care at all about their image."
"What's even more outrageous is Deep Sea Drilling Technology. Didn't they just say that America made breakthroughs in Deep Sea Drilling Technology recently? How long has it been since then, and they're already using it as a theme. Is this a show-off to the whole world?"
"This is no longer leaking questions; this is clearly being willful in setting the questions, taking the exam themselves, grading it themselves, and conveniently giving themselves awards at the end!"
"Hahaha, the summary from upstairs is spot on!"
Bang!
"Now you may speak." The old man with white hair struck his small wooden hammer.
The conference room fell silent at first. Then, as if it had been prearranged, the leader of a small Western country stood up—a big, bearded, bald man.
He first politely bowed to the judges and then laughed heartily, "Borrowing a phrase from the Eastern power, I will throw out a brick to attract jade."
After saying that, he focused his attention and drew a complex mechanical structure on the touchscreen of the table.
"Our ideas for improving Deep Sea Drilling Technology involve using Breakpoint Technology to increase the stress area, thereby reducing the material requirements..."
"Breakpoint Technology?"
Some people appeared thoughtful, but soon their brows furrowed, clearly encountering some setbacks.
One person raised their hand to speak, "Excuse me, I’d like to interrupt. I have a question. While Breakpoint Technology does indeed lower the material requirements, it also gives rise to new issues. For instance, it cannot solve the Power Transmission problem. If we follow your proposal, we might end up in a situation where the cost losses outweigh the benefits."
If extracting energy ourselves is more expensive than buying it directly, then this technology would be useless! There would be no need to implement it at all!
There was a saying that once became popular: 'It's better to buy than to build.'
In fact, although this phrase may not be pleasant to hear, it often reflects reality. Cost issues are of utmost importance and must be considered carefully. If the new technology does not benefit the company, promoting it will be exceedingly difficult!
The bald man with a beard frowned slightly; although he was displeased at being interrupted, the other party had indeed touched on a critical point and was not being unreasonable.
After pondering for a moment, the bald man with a beard smiled wryly and said, "As for Power Transmission, we might be able to try using a linkage device."
"Linkage device?"
Many people shook their heads.
Clearly, they had grasped a key point. A linkage device that can withstand the pressure of ten thousand meters deep in the ocean is simply beyond the capabilities of many existing materials. This is almost a paradox.
Many recognized that the person questioning was Arthur Jin, but he had surprisingly changed from his usual rebellious demeanor to one that was polite and composed, directly pointing out the critical issue.
Many people looked at him with newfound respect, even considering him a role model. Among them, many initially felt something was off but had no idea where the problem lay.
Arthur Jin's ability to straightforwardly raise the issue indicated a significant gap in knowledge between him and the others.
Watching Arthur Jin speak confidently in front of the entire audience, even the elderly man with golden hair watching the live broadcast in the white palace couldn't help but nod in approval, praising him as a remarkable young man!
