First Attempt

"Little Ai, let's try out the system's abilities first!"

After getting dressed, Chen Mu looked around his room, wanting to test the abilities of his "Huaqiangbei System."

"This phone should be fine, right?"

"Scanning initiated. Acquiring technology..."

As he held the phone in his hand, a "progress bar" that only he could see appeared before his eyes, rapidly filling up.

1%, 11%, 21%...

Before long, it reached 100%!

After all, Chen Mu was holding the phone, so he was naturally "touching" it.

Fruit 11pro. Technology acquisition progress: complete.

"All relevant information on the Fruit 11pro has been fully analyzed. Production can begin at any time."

Little Ai spoke calmly, but Chen Mu found it hard to believe.

In less than a minute, it had completely analyzed the technology behind the newest Fruit Phone?

Wasn't that way too terrifying?

"Uh, production..."

Chen Mu swallowed and gave the order.

"Understood. Please select the manufacturing options. You may check the production progress at any time."

Several options appeared before Chen Mu. They were settings for producing the Fruit Phone—colors, materials, and all sorts of other things—leaving him a little dazzled.

"No changes. Produce the original version directly."

Chen Mu was not particularly interested in this Fruit Phone being produced. He only wanted to see Huaqiangbei's manufacturing capabilities, so he gave the order directly.

"As you wish."

After saying that, Little Ai fell silent.

Normally, Little Ai would not appear unless Chen Mu actively called for it or asked a question.

"Show me the progress."

As soon as he spoke, another interface appeared before him, displaying the Fruit Phone's production progress.

1%, 2%...

"So fast..."

Chen Mu exclaimed. At this rate, producing this phone might take less than a minute.

"Huaqiangbei's production capability is this powerful?"

Chen Mu clicked his tongue, finding it hard to believe.

"The system's production speed is directly related to the product. The simpler the item, the faster it can be produced."

Little Ai explained, "However, your production space can only produce one item at a time. If you want to rely on this production space alone to achieve China's great rejuvenation, it will never be enough."

No matter how incredible the production space was, it could not bring about China's rejuvenation on its own.

"So I need to build a large number of production lines in the real world."

Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully. That made sense.

"Production complete. Extract the item?"

While he had been speaking with Little Ai, the progress bar had already filled up, snapping Chen Mu out of his thoughts.

"That fast?"

Chen Mu marveled.

"Extract."

As soon as he spoke, a brand-new Fruit 11pro appeared before him!

In less than two minutes, the Huaqiangbei System had directly "knocked off" a Fruit Phone. And even though it was a "knockoff," it was not inferior to the original in the slightest. It was completely identical!

And that was not all. Copying and producing a phone was not much in itself. More importantly, Chen Mu had already obtained all the technical information for this Fruit 11pro!

"My Huaqiangbei is incredible!"

After turning on the "knockoff" Fruit Phone, Chen Mu discovered that this brand-new phone was exactly the same as the genuine one. It was just as smooth, just as easy to use, and even the system was an authentic Fruit system!

"The relevant information can be exported and handed over to other factories for production."

Little Ai spoke calmly, but Chen Mu felt deeply conflicted.

Huaqiangbei's capabilities were practically heaven-defying. If he did not need to worry about patents, he could bankrupt any tech company in the world!

"But merely making knockoffs is useless. Not only would it cause a mountain of trouble, it would be beneath me..."

So...

"Would you like to conduct technological research on the Fruit Phone?"

Little Ai asked.

"Of course!"

Chen Mu nodded. He had all the information on the most advanced phones currently on the market, but it was not suitable for making money!

Therefore, making technological breakthroughs was absolutely necessary!

"Understood."

Another progress bar appeared, displaying "Research in Progress." This time, however, it was incredibly slow. After reaching 1%, it did not change for a long time.

Interesting. Research, analysis, and production could all be carried out at the same time?

"That's right. However, each function can only handle one task at a time."

"Fine, then continue analyzing."

Chen Mu nodded and turned his attention to the other items in his room.

His Fruit Computer, Da Mi Laser TV, air conditioner, and even the smart lights were all analyzed one by one.

The process was fast anyway. These little things could be analyzed in a minute each.

"Oh, I forgot about this—Iron Man!"

In the original Chen Mu's memories, there really was a famously wealthy playboy in America named Tony Stark. Even on this side of the globe, Chen Mu had heard of him. Tony was even the idol of the original Chen Mu as a "second-generation rich kid."

Not only was he extraordinarily intelligent, but more importantly, he was charming and carefree, making every wealthy young master envy him.

Chen Mu was the same.

However, according to his memories, Tony Stark had apparently not become Iron Man yet!

It was simply impossible to obtain Iron Man's technology!

"So what stage has this world developed to?"

Chen Mu could not help but wonder. He turned on his computer and began searching for news about Tony Stark.

"Tony Stark, heir to Stark Industries, blah blah blah... Found it!"

Skipping past the encyclopedia entry, Chen Mu quickly found news about Tony.

"Tony was attacked in Afghanistan three days ago and is currently missing..."

I see... The plot of Iron Man 1?

Chen Mu rubbed his brow. He remembered Iron Man's origin very clearly.

During that week of captivity, Tony completed his transformation, changing from a playboy into a Super Hero!

That experience had been indispensable.

"Forget it. What does this have to do with me? Since Iron Man hasn't been born yet, there's no need for me to pay attention to him. Later, when I have the chance to go to America and get close to Iron Man, I can steal his technology. As for now..."

Looking at the research progress bar, which had finally reached 2%, Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

For now, he needed to develop his strength as much as possible during this time.

His family had a small factory, which he could put to good use.
