Although Phantom Immortal Technology had said nothing outright, comparing the events made everyone feel that a vast gulf separated the Americans' research capabilities from those of Phantom Immortal Technology.
There was simply no comparison!
Yet people were not particularly surprised.
Ever since Phantom Immortal Technology had appeared, this had increasingly become the norm. It had solved so many problems that no country in the world could currently overcome that people had gradually accepted this fact.

This reflected people's recognition of America's scientific prowess, as well as its overall national strength.
To some extent, it was an outward manifestation of the Americans' status as the world's sole superpower.
Now, however, when people mentioned advanced technology, they thought of Illusion Immortal Technology Company. They did not even find it strange that Phantom Immortal Technology could crush the Americans technologically. It truly gave the impression that the United States was in decline.
