Chapter 251 Turn Their Chips into Garbage
With only 100 Cred Points left, Zhang Menglong directly copied Takumi Fujiwara's racing skills. After all, now that he was mostly driving on his own within the country, maximizing driving skills would make his future journeys on the road safer, wouldn't it?
As for those drool-worthy skills from Teacher Tony, Zhang Menglong could only sigh with admiration for the time being. Even if he were to learn the impressive Artificial Intelligence technology, such AI would still require a carrier.
And the technology currently on Earth was nowhere near meeting the conditions needed to host such an AI; the chips used as carriers could hardly last a few seconds with such a vast amount of data before they would fail completely.
Zhang Menglong just needed some more time to digest the Material Technology he had acquired. By the time he had assimilated that knowledge, he expected he would have earned another substantial amount of Cred Points.
...
"President, turn the steering wheel, turn the steering wheel!"
"President, do you see the person ahead?"
"I see him, looks like it's Teacher Tony."
"Go, ram into him!"
"I can't!" Zhang Menglong said, although he knew the teachers at Super God Academy couldn't die, he couldn't bring himself to do it, "I just zapped him with lightning, and now to run him over with a car, wouldn't that make me seem unreasonable!"
"Then why aren't you hitting the brakes already!"
...
"President, I told you to practice drifting, not spinning. Are you trying to destroy the parking lot with a tornado?"
"President, did you buy your driver's license?"
...
Although he had copied racing skills from Takumi Fujiwara, such skills weren't just about knowledge; they required practical operation.
Zhang Menglong could start, but he had never raced before, let alone driven speeds over 200 miles per hour. Takumi Fujiwara, sitting in the passenger seat guiding Zhang Menglong, scolded him from start to finish, with little regard for Zhang Menglong's status as the president.
"Teacher Fujiwara, I am the president, please show some respect!" Zhang Menglong finally couldn't stand the nagging anymore, reminding him of a relentless driving instructor from the days he was getting his driving license, but back then he had been too timid to speak up.
Only then did Takumi Fujiwara remember that Zhang Menglong was a teacher at the Super God Academy. What if he angered him and brought down lightning strikes on himself?
His attitude underwent a sudden 360-degree change.
After practicing for an hour, Zhang Menglong's driving skills transformed from a novice's to that of an experienced veteran. According to Takumi Fujiwara, Zhang Menglong's proficiency was almost 80% of his own. With this level of skill, in Zhang Menglong's world, he could definitely be called a God of Cars!
Feeling exhilarated, Zhang Menglong took a bath in the Divine Water of Triple Light, washing away the fatigue accumulated over the day.
...
"Heh heh heh!" Zhang Menglong placed a cup of milk and some bread on Lu Yiyao's bedside table while her face still had a slight flush.
No doubt, the effects of the Divine Water of Triple Light were too good. Although Zhang Menglong had only slept a few hours, he woke up feeling energetic and robust. As for his energy, he had specific "morning exercises" to help spend some of it.
"You sleep some more, I'm going to see Teacher Han today," Zhang Menglong said, kissing Lu Yiyao on the forehead.@@novelbin@@
Since he had decided to pursue a master's, naturally Zhang Menglong needed to find a mentor. Despite his vast wealth enabling him to study at any graduate school nationwide or even globally with just money, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, the place he was most familiar with, was still his first choice.
Choosing a school is merely about the overall strength of the institution. For the average person, a school serves as a stepping stone for getting a job, but Zhang Menglong didn't need that.
And even though Jiangnan University was still just an ordinary first-tier university, Zhang Menglong believed that this situation would soon change. This confidence came not only from those instruments but also from the knowledge in Zhang Menglong's brain.
It was strange that Zhang Menglong had clearly arranged to meet Han Jinyu in the morning, but when Zhang Menglong arrived at the school, there was no one in Han Jinyu's office.
He tried to call Han Jinyu's mobile phone, but no one answered. Logically, Han Jinyu should have been a very punctual person. It shouldn't have happened.
Zhang Menglong glanced to the side, thankfully, his senior brothers and sisters were all in the office.
"Yo! Menglong is here!"
"Come come, Menglong, sit down quickly. What would you like to eat? Senior brother will go buy it for you!"
"Menglong, want some fruit? Come, sit next to senior sister!"
Seeing Zhang Menglong, everyone in the lab was incredibly enthusiastic.
You should know, it was because of Zhang Menglong's funding that their lab had become the richest research group in the entire school and even the whole country. The remuneration Han Jinyu gave them was more than they could earn in ten years after graduating from school.
Now, almost every one of them was thinking about pursuing a PhD, and those doctoral senior brothers even hoped the school would allow them to postpone their graduation, preferably for five or ten years.
"Menglong, were you looking for Teacher Han?"
"Yes, I'm planning to take the graduate entrance exam after the new year, and then join our research group!" Zhang Menglong said.
"Really?" the senior brothers and sisters were thrilled.
"I had arranged to meet with Teacher Han this morning to talk about this, but why isn't he here?"
"Something came up at the last minute!" Big senior brother Zhu Mengchao's expression soured. "Did you see the news today?"
"What happened, did something happen at the school?" Zhang Menglong asked. Usually, Zhang Menglong would watch the news during the half-hour he spent in the bathroom after waking up, but this morning something indescribable happened, and he hadn't paid attention.
"No, it's Silicon Moonlight that had an issue."
"Silicon Moonlight? The biggest semiconductor chip company in our country?"
"Not just them, all semiconductor companies had issues!" Zhu Mengchao said, "You know, America recently got a new president, and he quickly took a series of measures, one of which is to prohibit the sale of semiconductor chips to our Huaxia."
Zhang Menglong frowned, "Complete monopoly?" The previous president had just increased the prices of chips significantly, but it hadn't reached the point of an embargo. He couldn't believe that on the first day of the new president's term, such a thing had happened!
"Yes!" Zhu Mengchao said, "So now the situation has suddenly become tense. Without high-performance chips, our country's communications technology would be doomed, at least the short-term development will be very slow, probably until we can develop our own."

Zhang Menglong nodded; he could fully imagine the consequences of a total chip embargo.
"You know, Teacher Han's research focus has recently been on graphene, a semiconductor material. This morning he had to attend an emergency meeting, and he probably won't be back until this afternoon."
"So that's what happened." Zhang Menglong finally understood the whole story. "These Westerners really know how to stir things up!"
"Who's to say they don't? But we can't help it. The core technology is in their hands, and right now, we are still in a passive position." Zhu Mengchao said helplessly.
"Bad luck for them!" Zhang Menglong smiled, even suspecting that the Super God Academy had predicted such an event would occur, which is why they let him draw the Material Technology skill.
"Now that it's like this, let's make their proud chip technology obsolete!"
