Chapter 1307: Chapter 1174: Global Semiconductor Plunge!
Of course, the production line for the microchips is not something that can be shown to netizens right now.
Lincoln appeared in the testing room, where he set down the finished microchip and said, “Very nice, better than expected.”
“This is thanks to the technological information you provided,” replied the researcher opposite him.
This researcher was also the first person in the promotional material to wear a mask covering his face, and the subtitles did not provide any introduction.
Lincoln shook his head, “No, it’s thanks to your hard work, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to finish so quickly.”
He picked up the microchip again and held it up to admire.
The camera naturally focused on this black little square.
Then, with the microchip as the center, the background in the screen started changing rapidly—the microchip was placed into a box, moved quickly, taken out, embedded into a circuit board, installed into a headband.
All this took only a few seconds.
When the screen stopped flashing, the camera pulled back slightly, and a brand-new headband appeared in front of everyone.
Text introductions followed—
[Mirage 3.0]

“Cloud Dream’s third-generation console, and also the first product in the world to use a carbon-based microchip.”“While achieving a leap in performance, it can also interconnect with previous-generation consoles, game cabins, Peace Paradise plugins, brain-controlled prosthetic limbs, robotic arms, Titan mechs, and all other equipment.”
“The human-computer interaction experience is about to enter a brand-new era.”
The voiceover was Howard, and the last image was of Howard too.
She was seen opening her eyes, returning to reality from the virtual world, and then standing up immediately without any delay, stepping out with her titanium alloy brain-controlled prosthetic limbs, heading towards the door.
Indoors, cute spirit beasts ran towards her, leaving the room with her.
Outside the room, a magnificent cityscape where virtual and reality intertwined appeared before her eyes—that was the work accomplishment of the Mixed Reality City project.
Howard walked into this dazzling city with the brand-new third-generation headband, leaving only an elegant silhouette on the screen.
A line of large text emerged—
[Mirage 3.0 | Coming Soon!]
With that, the promotional material ended.
——
Netizens were a bit stunned.

Ever since Lincoln’s appearance, the plot twists came so fast and furious, packed with so much information that everyone was a bit slow to react.
It wasn’t until the promotional material was over that the netizens began to digest the content—
“Damn!
Carbon-based microchips??
Aren’t chips made of silicon?”
“Holy crap!
Did they really make carbon-based microchips?
Graphene?
Damn it, why didn’t you release this a few minutes earlier?
Let me dump my semiconductor stocks first!!!”
“This has to be deliberate, no?!”
“Are we sure this is real?
It feels so fake.
There was no news at all before, and suddenly it came out?
And it surpasses the performance limit of silicon-based chips immediately upon emergence, and it can be mass-produced right away???
You’re rubbing my common sense in the dirt!”
“Those who are slow to react are still questioning, while the quick ones are already shorting American semiconductor stocks!”
“Not just America!
There are so many places to short!
Those who have stocks better run, or there will be casualties if you’re slow!”
“Questioning?
Question my ass!
Didn’t you hear the technological data was provided by Lincoln?
You doubt Lincoln’s scientific research ability?
Then I have to doubt there’s something wrong with your brain!”
“Brothers, the console!
Why is nobody discussing the new generation of Mirage?
It’s freaking awesome, alright!
Does this mean we won’t need console boxes anymore?”
“Mirage…
Mirage is good too, but isn’t this chip thing even more incredible?
Just think, how many industries could this overturn?!”
“Overturn industries?
What does that have to do with someone who just plays games like me?”
…
Despite “Cloud Dream launching the third-generation console” being globally significant news, and the microchip only appearing for a dozen seconds in the promotional material, in the end, this epoch-making chip easily stole the spotlight from the console.
After all, no matter how much the third-generation console has improved, it simply enhances the user experience and lacks some “pioneering” qualities.
But a carbon-based microchip is actual “explosive” news!
What is the crown jewel of human industry?
This topic has sparked many discussions and given rise to numerous memes, like the ballpoint pen tip, lighter flints, and children’s assault rifles.
But ultimately, the only thing widely known to the public, highly recognized, and closely related to life, can only be [microchips]!
The most cutting-edge microchips.
To be more precise, it should be “the manufacturing capability of the most cutting-edge microchips.”
And globally, in this field, only Daxia, the European Union, and America have the qualifications and ability to compete.
This competition has always been fierce, and it seemed like it would take several more years until silicon-based microchips truly hit their physical limits and the competition reached a fever pitch.
—That’s how it was supposed to be.
But today, right now, without any mental preparation, everyone saw in the Cloud Dream’s new console’s promotional material that the next-generation microchip had matured, coming off the production line and entering the commercial market!
Before the competition entered the fever pitch phase, Daxia had already secured the victory in advance!
And it’s an indisputable victory!
—It’s not a paper, not a technological exploration, not even a laboratory, but direct mass production for commercial use!
Even though Cloud Dream hasn’t announced a specific release date, given Cloud Dream’s efficiency, the transition from “promotional material” to “actual product” rarely exceeds a week.
Even if the console is not a game, and the process and steps are more complex, requiring more time, this preparation period will not exceed one month.
The battle for the microchip of the next era is already decided!
This event will undeniably cause massive ripples across the globe, with immeasurable impact!
In comparison, even big news like Cloud Dream launching the third generation Mirage, which could affect hundreds of millions of people, has to take a back seat—the microchip can directly and indirectly impact perhaps more than a billion people!
Of course, as the first piece of equipment to use this chip, [Mirage 3.0]’s visibility does not need to be worried about.
In fact, many people will buy it just to experience the “premier carbon-based chip” for themselves—whether to disassemble it, or even to collect it.
Anyway, there’s no harm in it.
However, for others, it’s not just “bad news,” but a downright disaster.

The two largest stock exchanges in America, New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, thanks to their earlier start and longer development, are also the largest in the world today.
Their trading hours start at 9:30 a.m.
Cloud Dream chose to release the promotional material at 3 PM, just when the Daxia stock market closes.
And because of the 13-hour time zone difference, it’s still 2 a.m.
in New York, where the NYSE and Nasdaq are located.
Seven and a half hours to go before the market opens.
But every stock trader has been awakened by urgent phone calls, struggling to get out of bed.
—They are not alone, as stock traders and financial professionals around the world are all taking action.
These people, with their excessively keen noses, have already sensed the storm coming and are preparing to face an imminent “tsunami”.
Especially for those in the United Kingdom, who are particularly anxious.
Because the UK is currently on daylight saving time and the time difference with Daxia is only seven hours.
Consequently, Europe’s largest stock exchange—the London Stock Exchange—ironically, begins trading right at the close of Daxia’s market.
As a result, it becomes the first “victim” of this “tsunami”—
Whether they are UK-based semiconductor companies or international semiconductor companies that are listed and raising funds on the London Stock Exchange, their share prices have faced a brutal drop!
