Chapter 574 Their Excitement

Alright...

Once Tilda agreed, the rest was simple.

Soon, the big day arrived.

The official news dropped, and it blew up instantly.

Every forum, headline, and social media feed went crazy.

“Getherland Creates Its First 4nm Chip Lithography Machine!”

The headline was bright red, stamped with a giant–BREAKING.

Twitter, TikTok, and Quora–apps all lagged or crashed.

Comments were pouring in, hitting over 100 thousand per minute.

[I can’t believe I lived to see this! Cetherland made their own lithography machine! I’m crying!]

[I told my grandpa. Even though he’s been in a coma for years, a tear rolled down his face!]

[Dad, Mom, I’m going to your graves today! The strong nation you dreamed of is finally real!]

[Our phone brand’s about to blow up! Chips are back!]

[Who built this thing? They erased a decades-long gap overnight. Absolute legends! It’s like watching a god descend to earth! We’re lucky to witness it!]

[No exaggeration. I know how lithography machines work and how far behind Cetherland was. This is unreal. What kind of genius pulled this off?!]

The whole country was buzzing.

Family chats, group messages, and feeds were full of it.

The streets echoed with cheers and clapping.

Everyone shouted the same thing.

This was their country!

Patriotism had never felt so raw.

People were proud of the progress, proud to belong here.

For years, they’d been crushed by tech blockades, chip bans, and foreign pressure.

The world wanted to keep Cetherland down, to pin them beneath the sky.

Hope had been smothered, disappointment piled high. People ranted, but nothing ever changed.

It hurt to admit the gap with developed nations.

Now, this news hit like pure adrenaline, waking the nation up.

At the same time, it carried a message loud and clear.

“Play dirty, threaten us, block us–it doesn’t matter. We’ll push through with our grit and claim the place we deserve!”

Cetherland had talent, passion, and people who loved their country enough to sacrifice everything. Schemes and enemies couldn’t scare them.

Decades ago, when they built the atomic and hydrogen bombs, they started from nothing, facing impossible odds.

It took years of sweat and sacrifice.

Top scientists gave up their names and families, vanishing for secret projects. They never spread the news.

Back then, there was no tech support, no internet, not even computers. Everything for the bomb had to be calculated by hand on chalkboards.

And somehow, they still pulled it off!

That stubborn, never-give-up spirit was carved into the bones of Cetherlanders. It was in their DNA!

And now, once again, they’d proved it to the world.

Sure, life had improved, money was flowing, and the nation was stronger, but that spirit of sacrifice and hard work had never gone away.

They turned every insult, every letdown, and every roadblock into fuel. With tougher hearts, they kept pushing forward, closing in on the rest of the world.

Cetherland was ready to rise again!

Andy called Tilda.

“Tilda, all the Motrar stocks we grabbed hit their limit today. We made billions in one go!"

“Hah! You’re officially a rich lady now–you’ll never have to worry about your life again.”

That was what came with insider info.

The second Cetherland announced the 4nm lithography machine, Motrar’s market went wild.

Some tech stocks shot through the roof, while others nosedived.

In Motrar, there were no limits.

When a stock went up, it kept climbing, and when it dropped, it was gone for good.

Money showed up fast, but it could vanish even faster.

Tilda and Andy had played it smart, shorting some stocks and buying others.

In just one day, they raked in over ten billion.

After the split, Tilda still walked away with five billion.

She was officially rolling in money.

She said, “We struck gold together! By the way, did you see my invitation? There’s a banquet in Dugan in three days to celebrate the lithography machine team."

“Come by. Let’s enjoy it together!”

“Of course! No way I’d miss something this epic!”
