United States, White House, Presidential Palace.
The current US President, James Hill, was discussing the US economic problems with several financial experts, looking for the best solutions.
Don't assume that the United States' overall power is currently number one in the world; many other countries are already catching up to their heels. For the United States, standing still means falling behind.
If they are not far ahead, it means they are not progressing.
Therefore, they must come up with better plans and better decisions to ensure the United States maintains its position as the world's number one superpower!
"Mr. President!"
At this moment, the conference room door was knocked open, and Fergus, the Minister of Research Department, quickly walked in.
"Oh, Fergus, didn't you see we were in a meeting?" President Hill frowned.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. President, for interrupting your meeting."
"But please, you must watch this video!"
Fergus quickly placed a laptop in front of President Hill and opened a video file.
The screen showed footage of the Wencheng City earthquake from today's live news broadcast.
"Ah!"
As screams and roars erupted, the camera shook violently. Aftershocks caused the building to tilt and collapse, falling towards the rescue team members who were busy saving people.
President Hill's frown deepened.
However, just then, a young man's figure appeared on the screen. He bravely ran towards the collapsing building, and with a wave of his hand, he actually stabilized the tilting building.
"WHAT?!"
President Hill's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowing.
Before he could voice his many questions, the young man shouted something behind him. A silver metal block, easily as tall as a man, suddenly flew out of a helicopter and landed on the ground, transforming into a puddle of liquid mercury.
President Hill clenched his fist, his gaze shifting slightly again.
The puddle of mercury, with unimaginable speed, rapidly enveloped the entire tilting building, then shot out mercury thorns, sticking to all the rubble that was about to fall on the rescue workers.
The video only lasted less than twenty seconds at this point.
The video then switched to Su Yan's rescue efforts.
With loud roars, the rubble in Wencheng City flew up. The victims trapped beneath the debris were swiftly transported out, either lifted by waves of mercury or entangled by it.
In less than a minute, the miraculous mercury had rescued dozens of people.
The video ended here.
"Fergus, what's going on?!" President Hill couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. President."
Fergus glanced at the other financial experts present.
"You all, please step out for a moment."
President Hill waved his hand, and the financial experts left one after another.
When the conference room door was reclosed, Fergus spoke with a solemn expression: "Mr. President, I suspect that someone in Huaxia has mastered Liquid Metal Technology!"
"Is it the mercury that was saving people in the video?"
President Hill's face was grave. "I want to know all information about this technology!"
"Sir, do you remember 'Terminator 2', which caused a sensation worldwide?"
"The liquid metal man in it, besides being unable to imitate high-end weapons, could transform into anything of the same volume!"
President Hill's eyes narrowed.
He, of course, knew that movie, but he had never expected that the technology from the film had actually become real?
"I've studied the liquid mercury in this video. It possesses all the characteristics of Liquid Metal Technology!"
"It can freely switch between liquid and solid states, flowing like water, and can solidify into steel when needed, increasing its toughness!"
"We once envisioned this technology, but to achieve it, we would need several significant breakthroughs in nanotechnology. To put it simply, with our most advanced technology, achieving this would take at least 200 years!"
"Even after 200 years, it's not guaranteed that such a perfect product could be successfully manufactured!"
Fergus's words deepened the solemn look on President Hill's face.
Two hundred years.
Huaxia actually had someone who was two hundred years ahead of the world in technology.
How astonishing and exaggerated was this news?
"What about that young Huaxia man in the video?"
"Do you know his identity information?" (
... Asking for fresh flowers...
President Hill said calmly.
"His name is Su Yan, 24 years old, a Huaxian from Húshěng Province. He comes from an ordinary family background, but because of the Wencheng City earthquake, he has gained considerable fame online."
"He is currently the CEO of a technology company in Huaxia, but he is excessively young; he is an absolute genius! Before this, he had already partnered with Huaxia's largest fruit merchant to develop a 500,000Ah Super Battery and Wireless Charging Technology with a 2-meter range, which made one mobile phone manufacturer's phones sell extremely well in Huaxia, and many people in the United States also rave about them!"
"Mr. President, I think we need to contact him to discuss this issue."
"This technology should be relatively new. Once it's widely applied, it will be a revolutionary leap for the manufacturing industry at least!"
"..."
Fergus said seriously.
"Then follow the old plan and send someone to talk to him!"
President Hill immediately made a decision. "If the negotiations fail, there's no need to ask me again, and no hesitation is required. Go directly to the director of the Death Bureau and have them eliminate this hidden danger!"
"Mr. President, I understand."
Fergus nodded heavily and then left the conference room.
At 24 years old, with an ordinary family background, he was able to cooperate with Huaxia's three major mobile phone manufacturers to develop cutting-edge black technology!
And now, during the Wencheng City earthquake, he demonstrated Liquid Metal Technology, a technology 200 years ahead of humanity.
Who knew how much more technology this young man named Su Yan was hiding?
And if they allowed him to continue developing, who knew what even more terrifying technology he might create?
They absolutely had to get this talent!
If they couldn't get him, then, according to the old routine, they would let the Death Bureau handle it.
They would rather destroy him, cutting off humanity's chance for great progress, than allow someone who could threaten the United States' status as the world's number one superpower to exist!
...
Meanwhile, it wasn't just the US President who received the news.
All developed countries and major developing countries immediately and acutely noticed this matter, and began to pay attention to this young man, who was only 24 years old, but made them feel deeply pressured!
