Chapter 381 Robert, Chip
"What's going on? Why is Australia suddenly going to join ASEAN?" Wang Ze frowned in confusion, his tone full of puzzlement, and he quickly asked Wang Jixin.
"I'm not sure either. This incident really comes as a surprise. So I would like to ask for your opinion on this matter," Wang Jixin replied.
Wang Ze hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to respond.
Finally, he said firmly: "Agree to their request for a meeting, let them come over first, and then we will see what their intentions are."
"Do you mean that you can consider agreeing to their joining?" Wang Jixin confirmed again. This question was crucial because he needed to clarify Wang Ze's attitude in order to arrange subsequent negotiation strategies.
"ASEAN is not necessarily limited to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It can expand its scope to become an alliance of Eastern nations, or even an alliance of nations in the Eastern Hemisphere," Wang Ze said with a smile.
Then he added: "In principle, I personally have no objection to Australia joining, but the specific details and conditions need further discussion."
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Wang Jixin said he understood and ended the call with Wang Ze.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ze stared quietly at the world map hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought.
In Canberra, the capital of Australia, Robert was anxiously waiting for news from South China in his office.
At this time, he had successfully controlled the entire Australian political stage, but at the same time, the influence of the United States in Australia was also increasing, especially after Britain withdrew from Southeast Asia.
Faced with this situation, Robert decided to find a new balance to counter the growing influence of the United States.
To this end, he turned his attention to ASEAN, hoping to contain further US infiltration into Australia by introducing the power of this organization.
Because in his heart, he always firmly believed that Australia would always belong to Britain and would never become a vassal of the United States. It was based on this belief that Robert would unswervingly promote the proposal to join ASEAN.
At this moment, the secretary walked into the office and reported: "Prime Minister, Nanhua has responded and agreed to our request for a meeting. The specific time is set on the 20th of this month, and the location is Xincheng."
Hearing the news, Robert nodded with satisfaction, then looked down at the calendar on the table. There were still five days until the 20th.
Then he told his secretary: "Have the relevant personnel check the plan we prepared again to ensure that it is foolproof and there are no problems."
"Okay." The secretary replied, then turned and left the office.
Robert stood quietly, staring at the huge world map hanging on the wall, his thoughts surging in his heart.
Since the formal establishment of ASEAN, he has felt unprecedented pressure.
If ASEAN were just a loose alliance of small countries, he would not care too much and might even look down on it.
However, today's ASEAN, with South China as its core, has demonstrated strong cohesion and influence, which forces him to pay great attention to it.
Especially when he saw the new islands discovered by Nanhua in the waters west of Australia and North Indonesia in the north of the country, he felt a sense of urgency of being half-surrounded.
Those Southeast Asian countries that he had neglected in the past have risen rapidly under the impetus of ASEAN, received strong support from the South China policy, and their economies have shown a trend of rapid growth.
In contrast, Australia faces serious problems: inflation has led to rising domestic unemployment and public dissatisfaction with the ruling Liberal Party.
Although he still has a firm grip on Australia, the situation undoubtedly presents him with certain challenges.
As Prime Minister of Australia, he knew he had to find solutions to these problems.
At this moment, he chose a feasible way to join ASEAN.
This would not only reduce the pressure on Australia, but also avoid large-scale military deployment to defend against potential ASEAN threats.
By joining ASEAN and promoting trade, the domestic employment rate can be increased.
He also communicated this idea with the UK, and the British authorities were very supportive of his actions.
After all, for Britain, it is a foregone conclusion that it cannot control Southeast Asia, but they also do not want to see the United States dominate and control the entire Southeast Asian situation.
Especially Australia, a resource-rich country, and the United States, relying on its geographical advantages, continues to exert influence on Australia.
Originally, Britain could only watch the United States gradually erode Australia's political landscape, but now Robert's plan gives them hope.
As long as they can prevent the further expansion of the United States in Australia, they will not care whether ASEAN will be strengthened or not. After all, it is not them, the UK, who are facing ASEAN.
It is even possible for the UK to exert influence on ASEAN through Australia.
This undoubtedly gives Britain a chance to rise again.
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Ze was not idle during these five days.
He went to the chip research and development department and used his superpowers to manufacture a batch of chips.
Although he was not familiar with chip technology, he had a general understanding of the basic principles and layout design of the chip in just a few hours.
For him, there is no need to understand the complex underlying principles. That is what scientists should worry about.
All he had to do was turn the scientists' ideas into reality.
Under Wang Ze's powerful superpower control, transistors took shape on the chip quickly as if by magic.
As for the so-called cumbersome processes such as photolithography and etching, they are no longer necessary.
In this way, he easily completed the perfect layout of 1 nanometer transistors.
Under his super powers of processing, these crystal structures appear to be a whole, and their stability is beyond imagination.
Each chip, which is only three centimeters square, is densely packed with up to 300 billion transistors!
Fortunately, Wang Ze does not need to manufacture them one by one. As long as he successfully manufactures one, he can use his superpowers to replicate them on a large scale without consuming too much of his energy.
Otherwise, faced with such a tiny and staggering amount of work, he would not be able to finish it even if he was exhausted to the point of vomiting blood.
After successfully completing the processing, Wang Ze selected a special ceramic material developed by the research institute and carefully packaged the outside of the chip.
Although this ceramic material is not very strong, its heat dissipation performance is impeccable.
Wang Ze handed the manufactured chip to the scientist next to him and said, "Check it to see if there is any problem."
"Okay, Chief." He was the only insider in the chip research and development department who had activated the pineal gland, so he was the only one here who could see this exciting scene.
If there is no problem with this chip, then many of his ideas can be realized.
He just had to think about how to get the patriarch to make more.
