201: Chapter 202 Purchasing Materials and Recipes

He entered the System Mall directly and searched for the ultra-high temperature, lightweight special material that District Mayor Zhao Wenhao had mentioned.

With a swish, a dazzling list of goods appeared, featuring all sorts of special materials from different technological trees and civilization levels.

Jiang Jing quickly browsed and filtered, and soon found an item that met and even far exceeded District Mayor Zhao Wenhao's description:

[Name]: Star Vortex Type-III Super Composite Crystal Material (includes complete production process and formula)

[Description]: Extremely lightweight, with a density only 1/5 that of titanium alloy; it can maintain structural stability and ultra-high strength in 5000°C ultra-high temperature environments for long periods, with excellent creep and fatigue resistance.

It has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, strong compatibility, and comprehensive performance that is about 45-50 years ahead of the most advanced level on the host's current planet.

[Price]: 1.5 Billion (includes a physical sample <100g> and a USB drive with all technical data)

"Goodness!" Jiang Jing exclaimed, looking at the product description.

45-50 years ahead of the current most advanced level?!

This isn't just catching up; it's literally overtaking on a curve and tearing up the opponent's track while at it!

I bet the USA next door could sell everything they own and research for decades and still might not reach this level!

The price is 1.5 billion; for a piece of black technology that can change the landscape of a country's strategic field, it's practically dirt cheap!

"Buying it!" Jiang Jing didn't hesitate at all; with a wave of his hand, he confirmed the purchase.

[Ding! Purchase successful! 1.5 billion consumed! The item has been delivered to the System space, and the relevant professional knowledge has been instilled into the host's mind!]

In an instant, Jiang Jing felt a vast amount of extremely professional and in-depth knowledge regarding the molecular structure, synthesis process, performance parameters, and application areas of this material flood into his mind, as if he himself were a top expert who had studied this material for decades.

At the same time, with a thought, a small, specially made metal box appeared in his hand. Inside lay a silver thin-film sample that shimmered with an exotic metallic luster; it felt extremely light in his hand, yet exceptionally tough. Beside it sat a minimalist black USB drive.

Looking at the items in his hand and the knowledge in his mind, Jiang Jing revealed a satisfied smile.

The items were ready; now all that was left was to contact District Mayor Zhao Wenhao, deliver this grand gift, and then... wait for the harvest.

He believed that this surprise would definitely far exceed District Mayor Zhao Wenhao's expectations and would surely bring back a "reward" far exceeding the value of 1.5 billion.

While Nazha was out shopping, Jiang Jing didn't idle; he took out his phone and opened the WeChat group named [Female Celebrity Team].

The group was indeed bustling, with over 99+ messages.

Leng Ba, Da Mimi, and Tong Liya were chattering away inside, sharing their latest news, such as seeing some nice handbags or just sending some pretty selfies.

Seeing Jiang Jing pop up, the women immediately swarmed him like butterflies spotting nectar.

Leng Ba: [Brother Jing! Have you arrived in Shanghai? How is the hotel environment? (Attached a pouting selfie)]

Da Mimi: [Tsk, someone is enjoying a world for two right now; how could he still remember us old folks~ (Full of jealousy.jpg)]

Tong Liya: [The weather in Shanghai seems nice.]

Zhu Xudan: [Brother Jing, I hope everything goes smoothly! (Well-behaved.jpg)]

Li Xibing: [+1!]

Jiang Jing replied to them one by one with a smile, bantering with them.

Just then, Li Xue also popped up, sounding a bit excited: "Report to the Commander! I have successfully completed the ideological work for Comrade Ruonan! She has deeply realized her problems and expressed that she will definitely overcome difficulties and persist to the end next time! Just waiting for you, Commander, to come back and inspect! (Shy emoji)"

Seeing Li Xue's report-like tone, Jiang Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud and replied: "Received! Good job on the ideological work! I will definitely inspect it in person when I return to see if the results are solid! (Dog head emoji)"

Su Xiaoxiao also sent a message, her tone a bit nervous: [Brother Jing, when are you coming back to Rong City? My mom... my mom said she wants to meet you... if it's convenient for you...]

It was followed by a nervous hand-rubbing emoji.

Jiang Jing smiled. Meeting the parents? For him, it really wasn't a big deal.

He replied readily: [A piece of cake! Once I'm done with things here in Shanghai, I'll arrange a time, and I'll prepare a grand gift for your mom by then.]

Su Xiaoxiao immediately sent a series of happy emojis: [Really? That's great! Thank you, Brother Jing!]

Just like that, Jiang Jing leisurely sipped the magical liquor exchanged from the System Store while chatting with several women at the same time.

"Having many women around seems quite troublesome..." Jiang Jing muttered in a humble-bragging way, though the expression on his face looked rather punchable.

... Meanwhile, in the District Government Building of Shanghai, inside the District Mayor's office.

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao sat behind a large desk with several documents needing urgent attention spread out before him, but his mind was completely elsewhere.

His fingers tapped the desk unconsciously, his eyes were unfocused, and he appeared somewhat restless.

Ever since he returned from Jiang Jing's yacht that day, his heart felt as if a giant boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, and he could no longer find peace.

Jiang Jing's words, "We'll see the results within three days," echoed in his mind constantly, like a demonic spell.

Three days! That was a strategic material problem that the country had invested huge funds into and gathered countless top researchers to tackle for a long time without being able to fully break through.

Jiang Jing actually said he would give him an answer within three days? This sounded practically like a fantasy!

One had to know, once this material was developed, it could be applied to various industries, and both military and civilian sectors could see tremendous changes.

This is the era of a technologically strong nation; the country must vigorously develop technology, in every aspect!

It was precisely because he understood the importance of this project that District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was so excited.

But what if... he really did it?

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao dared not think too deeply, because the impact of that result would be truly too immense!

It would be a leap forward for the country's aviation industry, and even for the improvement of the entire national defense and technological strength.

Although the lion's share of the credit would go to Jiang Jing, as the intermediary, it would be enough for him to write a brilliant chapter in his resume, with a bright future ahead!

At the very worst, even if Jiang Jing was just bragging and could only provide financial support in the end, it would still be a huge political achievement, which could greatly alleviate the financial pressure on the R&D team.

This immense sense of anticipation intertwined with uncertainty made him unable to eat or sleep well; he was itching with impatience and couldn't settle his mind on anything.

Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore; he picked up the secure phone on the desk and dialed a familiar number.
