Lin Yun quickly looked at the system panel.

Lin Yun couldn't help but smile happily. He had finally taken another step closer to the semiconductor technology he had been dreaming of.
"Please explain to me, Luna. What's the benefit of this level 4." Lin Yun asked.
"Understood, Master," Luna smiled gently. "Firstly, the time flow ratio between the DDL space and the real world has been adjusted. It is now 80 to 1."
Lin Yun was surprised slightly at Luna's words. "80 to 1? That's incredible. That means I can spend eighty hours here for every hour in the real world."
Luna nodded, her holographic form shimmering with a soft glow. "Exactly, Master. This will give you even more time to develop and refine your projects. But that's not all. At Level 4, I can now assist you in the real world, not just within the DDL space."
Lin Yun's eyebrows shot up. "You can help me in real life? How does that work?"
Luna smiled, her expression calm and reassuring. "I can now communicate with you in the real world, but with some limitations. I can only assist you with what's directly in front of you—tools, materials, or tasks within your immediate environment. I can't access the internet or external systems, and my abilities are confined to what you can physically interact with."
Lin Yun nodded, processing the information. "So, you're like a hands-on assistant, but you can't hack into networks or pull data from thin air."
"Precisely," Luna said. "Think of me as an advanced augmented reality tool. I can guide you through complex processes, analyze materials, or even help you troubleshoot problems in real-time. But I'm bound by the physical world, just like you."
Lin Yun grinned. "That's still amazing. Having you by my side in the lab or during meetings will be a game-changer."
Luna's holographic form flickered slightly as she continued. "There's more, Master. At Level 4, you gain access to even more advanced technologies. Let me show you some of the most exciting options available now."
She waved her hand, and a new list of technologies appeared in the air before Lin Yun. His eyes scanned the entries, each one more fascinating than the last.
[Bio-compatible Nanoimprint Lithography - 300,000,000 TP]
Luna gestured toward the first entry. "This is one of the most groundbreaking technologies available at this level. Bio-compatible Nanoimprint Lithography is a method for creating ultra-precise microchips using a physical mold instead of traditional light or laser-based techniques. It's perfect for working with delicate biopolymer materials."
Lin Yun was shocked by the name alone. He quickly asked. "How does it work?"
Luna explained, "Instead of using harsh chemicals or high temperatures, this technique uses a nanoscale mold to stamp the chip's circuitry directly onto the material. It's gentle, high-resolution, and scalable for mass production. Imagine creating biocompatible chips that can be implanted in the human body for medical applications or used in biodegradable electronics."
Lin Yun was stunned, his mouth agape. "This…is incredible. It's several times better than traditional DUV and EUV."
Originally, Lin Yun had planned to buy DUV technology here, but he changed his mind now. With this Nanoimprint Lithography technology, he was certain that no one in the world could be his opponent in the semiconductor industry.
Luna nodded. "Exactly. And because it's compatible with biopolymers, it aligns perfectly with your existing bioplastic technology."
She waved her hand again. "There are more, Master. Please take a look at it."
[Biodegradable Electronics - 100,000,000 TP]
[Artificial Photosynthesis Systems - 180,000,000 TP]
[Self-Healing Concrete - 150,000,000 TP]
[Quantum Dot Solar Cells - 450,000,000 TP]
Lin Yun's eyes widened even more when he saw this. Each one of these could only exist in a fantasy, but they were actually available here.
"Are you sure they belong to Level 4?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Master," Luna began, her voice soft but firm. "These technologies are classified under Level 4 because they represent a significant leap forward from the industrial and early information age technologies of Level 3, but they are still grounded in principles that are achievable with the foundational knowledge and tools of the late 20th century. They are advanced, yes, but not so far beyond human understanding that they belong to higher levels."
Lin Yun frowned, still trying to wrap his head around it. "But some of these sound like they belong in science fiction. Biodegradable electronics? Artificial photosynthesis? How are these not Level 5 or higher?"
Luna smiled, her holographic eyes glowing with a gentle light. "Let me explain, Master. The system categorizes technologies based on their feasibility within the context of human progress. Level 4 represents the cutting edge of what humanity could achieve if it pushed the boundaries of its current understanding. These technologies are not magical or beyond comprehension—they are simply the next logical steps in scientific and engineering evolution."
She paused, then gestured to the list of technologies floating in the air. "Let's take Bio-compatible Nanoimprint Lithography, for example. At its core, it's a refinement of existing lithography techniques. Instead of using light or lasers, it uses a physical mold."
"This is not a radical departure from current methods—it's an innovative adaptation. The materials and processes involved are advanced, but they are still within the realm of what humans have already begun to explore."
Lin Yun nodded slowly, beginning to understand. "So, it's not about how futuristic something sounds, but about how it fits into the progression of human knowledge?"
"Exactly," Luna said, her tone encouraging. "Now, let's look at Biodegradable Electronics. This technology builds on the development of biopolymers and organic electronics, which have been in the works since the late 20th century."
"The idea of creating electronics that break down naturally is a natural extension of the push for sustainability and environmental responsibility. It's groundbreaking, yes, but it's not something that requires entirely new laws of physics or materials that don't exist."
