85: Chapter 85: The "Money Printing Machine" List Revealed: This is a problem that will lead to the extinction of one's fortune!

"Redeem."

Su Che did not hesitate in the slightest as he issued the command to the system in his mind.

[Ding! 3,000 Skill Points consumed. The complete technology for the [Quantum Lithography Machine] has been redeemed.]

[Core supporting technology and materials list has been issued.]

Almost instantly, Su Che felt as if his brain had been connected to a massive knowledge database.

Countless pieces of information regarding how to manipulate photons, guide quantum tunneling, and perform perfect positioning at the nanoscale flooded in like a tide.

In his mind, a list that seemed endless automatically popped up.

Su Che's consciousness quickly scanned the list.

At the very top were several core blueprints and plans.

[Quantum Lithography Machine Architecture Blueprints]

[Global Compatible Optical Path Design Plan]

[Quantum Light Source Power Supply Module Design]

[Temperature Control and Vibration Damping System Plan]

He raised an eyebrow.

As expected, the core supporting blueprints and plans didn't even have a shadow in the real world.

Having the Quantum Lithography Machine technology alone would be useless without these blueprints and plans!

"System, can these items be redeemed directly?"

[System Prompt: Detected that [Quantum Lithography Machine Architecture Blueprints], [Global Compatible Optical Path Design], [Quantum Light Source Power Supply Module Design], and [Temperature Control and Vibration Damping System Plan] have not yet been realized in reality. They can be redeemed directly by consuming 1,500 points.]

"Redeem." Su Che confirmed again.

[Ding! 1,500 Skill Points consumed.]

[Blueprints and plans redeemed, and 3D dynamic structural diagrams have been automatically generated.]

Watching his Skill Point balance plunge from 5,500 points to a pitiful 1,000, Su Che felt no ripples in his heart.

Skill points could be earned again if they were gone.

But the opportunity to let the Dragon Country's industry truly stand tall was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

He quickly wrote out the rest of the list and projected it directly onto the main screen of the command room.

1. Ultra-high precision optical lenses (Diffraction-limited grade, aspherical, 128 pieces)

2. Special quartz lenses (Ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient, 99.9999% purity, 256 pieces)

3. Ultra-low vibration rack (Active vibration isolation, micro-gal level stability, 1 set)

4. Constant temperature and humidity equipment (±0.001°C temperature control precision, 1 set)

5. High-power voltage stabilizer (Nanosecond-level response, 1 set)

6. Nano servo motors (0.1 nm stepping precision, 64 units)

7. High-precision sensing and detection equipment (Quantum grade, 1 set)

...

The list was still scrolling down.

President Liu Qianghua stared at the list, his eyes wide as copper bells.

He reached out with a trembling hand and pointed to the first item.

"Diffraction-limited aspherical lenses... and you need 128 of them?"

"Engineer Su, do you know that this thing can only be ground by Godwin Optics in the Eagle Country and Nikon in Sakura Country? Each piece is like a national treasure. Forget about 128; we can't even buy a single one!"

He pointed to the third item again.

"Micro-gal level active vibration isolation rack! This is something used for gravitational wave detectors! The laboratories in Eagle Country have only just produced samples, and we haven't even fully grasped the theory yet!"

"And this! 0.1 nanometer stepping precision servo motors! Damn it, this is making the motor walk at the size of an atom!"

The more President Liu Qianghua spoke, the more agitated he became, eventually almost shouting.

"This isn't a list!"

"This is an impossible exam paper! It's a death trap set for us by Eagle Country in collusion with the whole world!"

Lieutenant General Peng and Deputy Director Qin were also terrified as they watched.

Although they didn't understand the specific technology, just looking at those unbelievable precision requirements, they knew the weight of it.

This was no longer a question of money.

It was a question of whether they had it, and whether they would give it to you.

The answer was obvious: they didn't have it, and they certainly wouldn't give it.

"Who said we were going to buy them?" Su Che's voice rang out calmly.

He walked to the main screen, looking at the list that made everyone feel desperate, but his eyes remained calm.

"If they won't give it to us, we'll build it ourselves."

"For the lenses, we have the best rare earth and quartz mines in the world; what we lack is the grinding technology and equipment."

"For the rack, our material mechanics and structural design are no worse than theirs; what we lack is the active control algorithm."

"For the motors, our precision machining capability is a bit weaker, but if we change our approach and use magnetic levitation and phase control, we can still achieve nanometer-level stepping."

Su Che turned around and looked at the stunned President Liu Qianghua and Lieutenant General Peng.

"What we have always lacked is not materials or talent."

"What we lack is a correct 'instruction manual'."

He pointed to his own head.

"Now, we have the manual."

Lieutenant General Peng steadied himself; in Su Che's eyes, he saw a power capable of overturning the world.

"Dean Liu, what do you think?"

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences will support it with full force. Even if it costs the lives of us old bones, we can bet on it!" Dean Liu said without hesitation.

Lieutenant General Peng no longer had any doubts.

He walked to the red phone again and pressed the button that connected directly to the highest level.

"Report!"

"I am Peng Dehai!"

"In the dual name of the Military Science Commission and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I apply to launch the country's highest-level project—the 'Kaitian' Project!"

"Yes! The 'Kaitian' that opens up the world!"

"The project's Chief Engineer is Su Che!"

"We need the power of the entire nation to build him a... God's Money Printer!"

"The material list is being sent over immediately!"

"At all costs!"

After hanging up the phone, Lieutenant General Peng's resolute face flushed with a red glow from excitement.

He walked up to Su Che and gave a standard military salute.

"Chief Engineer Su, from now on, all research institutes and relevant industrial units across the country, and all resources, are at your disposal!"

...

Just as the Dragon Country started its entire national machine because of one list.

Across the ocean.

The Pan-Pacific Technology Alliance, Supreme Council.

In a pure white, futuristic circular conference room, over a dozen giants representing the pinnacle of Eagle Country's technology pyramid gathered together via holographic projection.

The atmosphere was as oppressive as being three hundred meters underwater.

"Ida Heavy Industries is finished." An old voice broke the silence.

"It's not just Ida; the entire core network of Sakura Country has been completely formatted within ten minutes by a 'data plague' that we cannot understand."

"According to our model simulations, this method of attack is at least thirty years ahead of us."

"Jiang!" Sitting in the main seat, a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes, handsome but with sinister eyes, suddenly spoke and called out a name.

In one corner of the holographic projection, Jiang Yingxue's cold and beautiful oriental face slowly appeared.

She was still wearing a capable professional suit, her expression calm, showing no emotion.

"Adam, something up?"

The young man called Adam was the very man who had spoken with Su Che earlier, the most hardline hawk leader in the Prometheus Family.

"Jiang, in the report you submitted earlier, your assessment of Su Che was 'possesses disruptive potential, suggest prioritizing enticement and cooperation'."

Adam's voice was full of mockery.

"Now, this 'possesses potential' young man has just slapped us, swelling up the face we've spent thirty years building in Asia."

"How do you explain this?"

Jiang Yingxue picked up her coffee and took a light sip, her movements elegant.

"My explanation is..."

She put down the cup, raised her eyes, her gaze as cold as ice, looking straight at Adam.

"You idiots insisted on provoking a... prehistoric behemoth that you don't understand at all."

"Now, the behemoth has awakened."

She scanned the conference room, looking at all the big shots with ugly expressions, parted her red lips slightly, and uttered the final sentence.

"Everyone, get ready to welcome a... new god who doesn't follow any old rules."
