20: I'm sorry for you!

“I have some business in Sakura, so let's not talk about this for now. I also have something for you all. I've sent it to your Great Science Academy's official email, so please check it.”

Lin Yang didn't elaborate on his trip to Sakura. After a second of thought, he added, “How about this? I don't like owing people money. Consider the item in the email as something you bought from me with money. This way, we're even. How does that sound?”

“Ah? What did you send?”

Zhao Zizhen then remembered that Wang Guang had indeed mentioned it when he notified him earlier: Lin Yang said he had something else to give them besides borrowing money.

As he asked, Wang Guang, quick as a flash, had already opened the official email.

“It's nothing much, just the manufacturing blueprints for a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine. It's more advanced than Netherlands's. It's a bargain at ten million,” Lin Yang replied casually.

At the same time, Wang Guang also opened the email and saw the blueprints Lin Yang had sent.

When they saw the glaring words “0.1 nanometer lithography machine Manufacturing Manual (Illustrated Version)”, both men were stunned again, then couldn't help but look at each other.

A 0.1 nanometer lithography machine manufacturing manual?

Is this a joke?

It is well known that the most advanced lithography machine in the worldwide is Netherlands's three-nanometer one.

But in the blink of an eye, Lin Yang actually sent them a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine manufacturing manual?

You know, while getting the lithography machine manufacturing manual from Netherlands was outrageous, even bizarre.

It was, after all, a product that existed on Blue Star.

But this 0.1 nanometer is a bit too much, isn't it?

This is something that only exists in concept. With current Blue Star technology, it would take at least a hundred years or even longer to reach this level.

And now it's been produced? Isn't this a joke?

Yes, that's right. Both men's first thought was that Lin Yang was playing a prank on them.

Zhao Zizhen even had an uncontrollable thought that Lin Yang might have just casually put together a document to fool them because he didn't want to owe money.

Although he had already decided that regardless of whether it was true or false, he would say that this transaction could be completed, he suddenly felt a strange awkwardness in his heart.

However, despite thinking this, Zhao Zizhen still couldn't help but open the document.

After all, given Lin Yang's contributions in the previous two matters, even if he was truly fooling them, it wouldn't matter much.

However, when Zhao Zizhen opened the document and quickly scanned it, he trembled as if he had been electrocuted!

“This, this, this is….”

Zhao Zizhen was utterly stunned!

Because, from the very first word, this document did not seem like a casual trick!

If it had been before the construction of the three-nanometer lithography machine, he might not have been able to determine it at a glance.

But with previous experience, Zhao Zizhen could tell at a glance that the content of this document was absolutely a genuine, more advanced lithography machine manufacturing manual!

There was no mistake!

He was dumbfounded!

He was bewildered!

He was once again thrown into disarray!

A 0.1 nanometer lithography machine!

How dared he?

Inside the Alien Management Bureau.

Ye Guhong and the others were listening to the call. When they heard Lin Yang say he was exchanging the 0.1 nanometer lithography machine manufacturing manual for ten million as a transaction, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then no one took it seriously.

However, when Zhao Zizhen began to fall silent, it made them all involuntarily nervous!

Could it be that the manufacturing manual sent to the Great Science Academy's email was actually real?

“Old Zhao, Old Zhao!?”

Ye Guhong couldn't help but call out.

But he received no response from Zhao Zizhen.

This immediately made Ye Guhong stand up and raise his voice, “Zhao Zizhen? Speak! Reply quickly!!”

Ye Guhong became a bit anxious, calling out repeatedly.

He couldn't help but be anxious!

The more Zhao Zizhen remained silent, the more it meant that the manufacturing manual might be real.

If it was truly real, it would be an even bigger deal than tearing a hole in the sky!

A 0.1 nanometer lithography machine! Just thinking about it was enough to make one's breath catch!

Ye Guhong didn't dare to imagine how incredible it would be if this were true!

Tang Wensheng and the others also held their breath, looking at each other, each more nervous than the last.

They couldn't even begin to imagine what a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine meant!

Just building the three-nanometer lithography machine was already going to bring about qualitative changes in many domestic industries, with a rough estimate of at least hundreds of billions in related costs saved annually.

If it really was a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine, how many times would that number multiply?

No!

If there truly was a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine, its role and significance could no longer be measured by money alone!

It would mean a technological level at least several hundred years ahead.

It would mean that Shangxia could directly leap forward to become the most powerful technological empire on the entire planet!

Beyond that, there would be implications they couldn't even imagine or dared not imagine right now!

Shangxia, already not weak, with the addition of a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine, they dared not continue to imagine what it would be like in a few years!

...

Inside the Great Science Academy.

Zhao Zizhen held the phone in one hand, his entire body frozen in a stiff posture for a full half minute!

The manual before his eyes had become the only thing in his vision!

The exquisite formulas, the incredibly precise arrangements, the perfectly balanced combinations, all captivated him, drawing him in!

0.1 nanometer!

It was definitely a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine!

Zhao Zizhen roared in his heart!

He felt like he was going crazy!

No one could understand his current feelings.

Just a few days ago, he was sighing over the lack of high-end lithography machines domestically, and now he directly possessed a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine, a technological level at least several hundred years ahead of the worldwide!

Such a dreamlike event, if he weren't experiencing it firsthand, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!!

He naturally heard Ye Guhong's urgent calls through the earpiece.

But he simply wasn't in the mood to respond.

Because, at this moment, he only wanted to cry!

Yes, that's right...

Zhao Zizhen really wanted to cry!

As someone who had dedicated his life to the forefront of scientific research, his entire life had been devoted to it.

His greatest wish in this life was to witness the rise of his homeland in scientific research!

Now, his wish had come true!

This feeling is hard for anyone to understand.

He wanted to cry!

And he really did cry!

“Oh, Heaven, I, Zhao, am fortunate enough in this life to witness such an exquisite thing. I can die without regrets!”

“I can die without regrets, hahahaha…”

Zhao Zizhen cried and laughed, like a madman.

Then, as if he remembered something, his crying suddenly grew louder. He burst into wails, constantly repenting into the phone: “I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to you! I apologize for the petty thoughts I just had!”

“I just thought you were trying to fool us because you didn't want to owe money. Now I feel ashamed of my thoughts!”

“Now I understand, you must have been afraid that we would feel guilty receiving such a precious item, which is why you specifically used the method of borrowing money to exchange it.”

“Compared to you, my thoughts are simply too dirty and unbearable.”

“I am guilty!”

“I am sorry to you!”

Zhao Zizhen directly bowed ninety degrees.

Although it was just a phone call and Lin Yang couldn't see him, he still did it.

As if only then could he feel a little better.
