"The sharpness of this is simply outrageous, isn't it?"
Everyone present was utterly stunned. Even the legendary divine weapons of ancient times were probably not this exaggerated.
The length of the blade on that long saber was estimated to be at least eighty centimeters, and it had been plunged directly into the ground like that?
The county conference hall was decorated in a rather simple style, but it featured marble floor tiles, and the base was a solid cement floor. Yet, the blade had sunk all the way to its hilt?
"This... this..."
Secretary Yang's complexion had changed. Although he had prepared himself mentally, seeing the technology from Wa Island was so formidable, he was still deeply awed.
No wonder they dared to boast they were the best in the steel smelting industry. This was their capability!
It was said that even the arrogant warrior nation, Sam, had to import many critical parts for their advanced aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and even space satellites from Wa Island's Tianyi Steel Company.
So, this wasn't just bragging; it was truly impressive!
Their strength was undeniable!
"How is it? Are you all dumbfounded?" Zhubent, standing beside them, began to laugh triumphantly. "See? This is the skill and power of our great Wa Island.
With your old blast furnace smelting technology, even another thirty years wouldn't make you our match!"
Zhubent's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the conference hall, reaching everyone's ears.
Unlike their earlier anger, everyone now felt a deep sense of powerlessness against the grating, duck-like cackle.
This... it was so powerful!
Before, it was just a vague concept, but now they had truly witnessed Wa Island's technology!
Could Wang Yu possibly win?
No, perhaps the question should be whether he could avoid a crushing defeat!
How could one possibly contend with such an invincible opponent?
Alas, looking at that arrogant little guy from Wa Island, they really wanted to punch him!
Perhaps the phrase "a triumphant stray dog behaving like a tiger" was fitting.
Not only the people of Jiangyang County, but even the distinguished guests from the provincial level and reporters who had rushed over from all over the country had grim expressions on their faces.
Losing to someone else due to inferior skill was already disheartening. To add that they lost to Wa Island made it even worse... Don't ask why!
"How about it, Wang Jun? Is our humble skill presentable enough?"
Yamazaki did not exhibit the overt arrogance of Zhubent. He simply smiled faintly at Wang Yu and spoke politely and gently, but the pride in his tone was not at all concealed.
Seeing everyone before him speechless was...
Damn it, looking at this refined beast in glasses, why did he feel even more infuriated?
In response, Wang Yu looked at the scene before him and smacked his lips. These guys really had something!
The workers from the steel plant standing behind Wang Yu were all ashen-faced.
While laymen watched the spectacle, professionals understood the profound technical expertise contained within such a blade.
"The smelting of three rare metals, the precise control over processes like deoxidation, forging, and quenching – it's truly masterful!"
An old master craftsman from the steel plant sighed in admiration.
"The most crucial part is the smelting of three rare metal alloys. We don't know the exact ratios, but it must be extremely difficult! We struggle to even create satisfactory alloys of ordinary metals, let alone three mixed together. The difficulty increases geometrically with each additional metal alloyed!"
"Exactly! Their equipment is also far more advanced than ours. We... there's no comparison!"
...
The old master craftsmen from the steel plant sighed with regret. This made Secretary Yang, who overheard their conversation, even more troubled. He couldn't help but scratch his head.
They were already about to face humiliation. What should they do?
Wang Yu, this young man, had talent, but his ability to cause trouble was directly proportional to his talent. This worried him so much that his hair was falling out. If this continued, he'd be prematurely bald!
Setting aside Secretary Yang's hairline issues, Wang Yu also smiled and clapped his hands. "Your company's technology is indeed admirable. Truly impressive!"
Hearing Wang Yu's unreserved praise, Yamazaki's lips curled slightly. He said with reserve, "Since Wang Jun says so, then we shall concede the first round of competition!"
As he spoke, Yamazaki cupped his hands towards Wang Yu, seemingly in a gesture of humility.
"No, no, don't rush!" Wang Yu quickly stopped Yamazaki. "I merely praised your company's technology, but that doesn't mean I concede."
"Oh? Wang Jun still hasn't given up?"
Yamazaki was slightly taken aback.
"Heh heh, I have to at least give it a try, right? Giving up without a fight is not my style."
Wang Yu smiled faintly. "Also, let me add, in our country, when men perform the cupped-hand salute, the left hand is on top and the right hand below. Your gesture, with the right hand on top and the left hand below, is a woman's posture... Ah, I forgot. Your etiquette is all copied from our ancestors. It's understandable if your ancestors didn't copy everything completely."
Wang Yu's words immediately drew peals of laughter.
That was a truly artful insult!
"You..."
Zhubent was furious and opened his mouth to speak, but Yamazaki stopped him.
"Wang Jun, engaging in petty arguments is also not the act of a true man!" Yamazaki's expression was also grim. "Please, show us what you can do!"
With that, Yamazaki waved his hand towards Wang Yu, signaling him to demonstrate. This time, he wouldn't dare to show off any more cupped-hand gestures.
"Certainly," Wang Yu nodded with a smile. Just then, Liu Lu rushed into the conference hall, panting. Her face was flushed, and she was out of breath, clearly having run a considerable distance to get there.
"Factory Director Wang, what you ordered is ready!"
Liu Lu, still gasping for air, placed the bundle she was holding in front of Wang Yu.
"Excellent, it's just in time. I can show everyone my work now."
All eyes in the room turned to this woman who had barged in uninvited, or rather, to the bundle in her hands!
It was clear that this was Wang Yu's trump card to turn the tables!
Wang Yu calmly opened the bundle, revealing a wooden box inside. Under everyone's expectant gaze, cameras and photographs from various media outlets all focused on the wooden box in his hands.
Slowly, he opened it, revealing a cold gleam!
Inside, it was... a cleaver?
