Chapter 504 Finally, We Did It!

“Maybe we want this answer even more than you.”
Liam’s voice was deep and strong. It sounded like he was lost in a fog, full of both wonder and doubt.
Riley noticed he had asked the wrong thing. He quickly said, “Sorry, I was only curious. Please don’t mind me. What matters is what we can do right now. For this 4nm chip lithography machine, I believe we’ll succeed!”
“We will, for sure!”
One whole day passed.
Tilda kept her promise. In just a single day, she worked nonstop and put together a complete plan all on her own.
As soon as she was done, Tilda didn’t rest at all. She called the whole team together right away.
In the meeting room, everyone from Dane’s group showed up, including Manfred.
Excited, Tilda handed out the documents she had prepared.
She said, “These cover the entire plan. I’ve marked the important parts and listed which departments should pay special attention. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask during the meeting.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Tilda. Please, have a seat.”
Manfred quickly asked Tilda to sit and take a break.
Most people in Lab Seven already knew, at least a little, about Tilda’s other identity as a Queen. But here, in front of everyone, Manfred still called her Ms. Tilda, not Queen. Her history with the dark web was far too sensitive to bring up in front of everyone.
The other professors looked through her neat, well-prepared documents and couldn’t stop praising her.
“I can’t believe Ms. Tilda managed to make all this in just one day. That’s amazing.”

“More than amazing. Not a single mistake, everything organized, and the notes are clear and easy to read. It really puts us to shame!”
The meeting went on for six hours.
After everyone gave their ideas to adjust and improve the details, the meeting ended without problems.
Dane wrote in his notepad, “Tilda, go rest now. Mystro and Liam can help me with the next steps.”
“Okay.”
Tilda didn’t argue. She was really exhausted, even though she still felt excited inside. She was hyped as hell.
Before leaving, Tilda gave Dane and the others a thumbs-up.
“Dane, Mystro, Liam, I trust that hard work will pay off. When I wake up, I want to hear good news, okay?”
The three seniors exchanged a glance.
“Of course!”
Back in her room, Tilda fell onto her bed and passed out right away. She hadn’t slept in three days. This time, she slept deeply and comfortably.
When she woke up, she felt refreshed and clear-headed. She checked the clock. She had been asleep for 13 hours straight. She stretched and yawned, then walked barefoot to the bathroom to wash up.
Right then, someone started knocking hard on her door.
The moment had come.
Tilda wiped her face and took a deep breath. When she opened the door, she saw Manfred standing there, his face glowing with excitement.
“Queen, we did it! This time, we really did it!”
Even though Tilda had been expecting this, hearing it for real made her heart jump.
“Mr. Parker… is this for real?” Her voice trembled with excitement.
Manfred responded, “It’s real! Professor Kerrigan said you should come see it yourself the moment you woke up. Come on, let’s go!”
Tilda and Manfred rushed straight to the lab.
“Tilda!”
Mystro and Liam noticed her right away. They waved their hands.
“Over here!”
Tilda hurried over, her heart racing with anticipation. She saw Dane and the other professors still working hard in front of the supercomputer.
On the screen, the experiment results froze on “Success.”
At that moment, Tilda felt a sudden sting in her nose. She was about to burst into tears.
“How many years has it been? We worked so hard and still couldn’t…”
“Even if this is just a simulation, we… finally did it.”
Manfred stood next to Tilda, his eyes red as well. He remembered the early days.

Chapter 504 Finally, We Did It!
When Motrar put sanctions on Cetherland, local companies couldn’t even use their own 5G networks. Even the chips had to be bought from others, leaving them powerless. Once the sanctions started, everything collapsed. One day they were on top, and the next they fell into disaster. No one dared to claim they had the world’s best chips anymore. People all over the world laughed at them. Even some traitors inside the country mocked their struggles and took pleasure in their failures.
The government wanted to help, but didn’t have the power to do much. The gap in science and technology was huge, and the road ahead was long. It wasn’t something that could be solved in a single night, or by shouting proud slogans.
But now, after spending countless resources and all the hard work and dedication of the scientists, they finally reached the word “Success.”
