You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 6
Chapter 6: I’ve Been Walking On Thin Ice My Whole Life
Zhang Keqiang lived a precarious life, experiencing all sorts of storms and waves, only to become the top official of the China Ministry of Defense at the age of Knowing Destiny.
It can be said that he had already reached a state of impassiveness.
But now, looking at the email from “Qing’an,” he still felt the urge to curse.
Subject: Apology and Nanolithography Machine Manufacturing Technology
“The intelligence sent yesterday has been abandoned by Uncle Sam, and the intelligence’s usable value is zero. If my actions caused any losses to your ministry, I sincerely apologize. ”
Besides wanting to curse, Zhang Keqiang suddenly felt a little fortunate.
It’s good that he listened to Li Jun and didn’t panic and hastily enter a state of war. Otherwise, hearing that Uncle Sam suddenly stopped fighting, who would he cry to?
“To express my apology, I am specially gifting a nanolithography machine manufacturing technology. Please forgive my recklessness. ”
The rest is the introduction to the lithography machine’s manufacturing method.
Zhang Keqiang frowned: “A lithography machine manufacturing technology is all, it’s not that valuable! False reporting of military information is a crime! But this Qing’an is a talent, let’s see if we can recruit them to work… ”
“But this nano… wait, how many? ”
Zhang Keqiang wiped his eyes and carefully looked at the three words “one nano” again: “Woccao? ”
From the bedroom came his wife’s voice: “How old are you, still making such a fuss? What time is it, don’t you hurry to sleep? Do you think it’s ten years ago? ”
Zhang Keqiang stared at the Tencent interface, and said in a daze, “No, I… I’m too excited. You sleep first, sleep first. I have a big job to do, a very big job… ”
Although he was from the Ministry of Defense, he also understood lithography machines.
Lithography machines are mainly used in chip manufacturing. China’s cell phone and other technologies are restricted by other countries, and a large part of the reason is the inability to achieve chip freedom.
What is the effect of a nanolithography machine on China now?
It’s like you’re playing Honor of Kings, and the opponent has already pushed to the crystal, when you suddenly appear and fight nine people alone, killing everyone.
Even if Zhang Keqiang didn’t understand these things very well, he knew how significant this thing was to the entire nation of China.
Currently, China still relies on others for its expression when it comes to chips. If this thing is researched, other countries will have to rely on China’s expression! All of them!
This is something that is enough to overturn the table on the world chessboard!
Zhang Keqiang took a deep breath and made a phone call: “Hey? Old Liu? Now, immediately, get over here! I have something good! Don’t come and you’ll regret it to death! ”
On the other side, the Tencent official also received Zhang Keqiang’s call.
“Hello? I am Minister of National Defense Zhang Keqiang… ”
“You’re the Minister of National Defense? Then I’m the President! ”
“Dial Tone”
“Hello? Hey?!”
Zhang Keqiang then remembered that he was using his personal phone, not the official phone.
No wonder they didn’t believe him!
Zhang Keqiang took a deep breath, took out his keys, and rushed back to the Ministry of Defense at twelve o’clock at night, using the official phone to call the Tencent official.
“Hello? ”
“I am Minister of National Defense Zhang Keqiang… ”
“Damn it, it’s you again? Anyone dares to impersonate a national official, huh?! Go die! ”
“Dial Tone”
Zhang Keqiang was about to lose it.
Who did Tencent recruit? So bold?!
Although, he still made the call for the third time.
This time, the other party didn’t scold him.
Because the other party didn’t answer…
Zhang Keqiang listened to the phone’s “The person you are calling is currently unavailable, please try again later,” and began to think about whether to clean up Tencent.
Just then, his cell phone rang. Zhang Keqiang thought it was Tencent calling, but when he opened it, he found it was Liu Qiming.
“Old Zhang! Where have you been! ” Liu Qiming’s roar came from the phone: “Hurry back! ”
Originally, he was getting intimate with his wife at home.
But Zhang Keqiang’s call made Liu Qiming worried that it was something related to work, so he reluctantly left his warm bed and his gentle wife and arrived at Zhang Keqiang’s house at twelve o’clock at night. Zhang Keqiang is a fifty-year-old man.
It’s normal to have resentment, so now cursing Zhang Keqiang…
Is also normal.
“You came just in time! ”
Zhang Keqiang said: “Now call Tencent and tell them to completely block the information of a person with the ID Qing’an and QQ number ********** and don’t let anyone know! This involves state secrets! ”
“No, Old Zhang, explain clearly. ” Liu Qiming frowned slightly: “You can’t jump to conclusions about this kind of thing. ”
“Do it first! ” Zhang Keqiang urged: “I’ll tell you what’s going on after I get back! ”
Out of trust between old friends, Liu Qiming immediately called.
“Hello? I am Minister of Science and Technology Liu… ”
“Are you annoying! I just cursed someone who claimed to be Minister of National Defense Zhang Keqiang, and now another Minister of Science and Technology? If you’re the Minister of Science and Technology, I’m your father! Scram! ”
“Dial Tone”
Liu Qiming: I’ve lived a precarious life…
As soon as this call ended, Zhang Keqiang’s phone rang: “How did it go? ”
“They hung up… ”
“Their mother’s education is bad, they dropped the ball at a critical moment! It seems I need to find some time to rectify internet companies and internet problems, no matter what, it’s not a lawless place. ”
In the end, Zhang Keqiang used the Ministry of Defense phone to directly call the boss of Tencent, asking him to keep the information of “Qing’an” absolutely confidential and to properly rectify Tencent’s internal personnel.
“What’s going on? What’s worth calling me out at night? ”
As soon as Zhang Keqiang got home, Liu Qiming lowered his voice and asked: “Your wife is asleep, why did you drag me over? ”
“Look. ” Zhang Keqiang pulled Liu Qiming to the study and turned on the computer: “I don’t understand much, you study it carefully. ”
On the computer was the “Nanolithography Machine Manufacturing Technology”.
“Currently, the problems facing our country’s lithography machine technology are mainly: 1. Insufficient optical system accuracy… ”
“2. Insufficiently precise control of light source wavelength and energy… ”
“3. Incorrect photoresist materials… ”
“… ”
“Wc! ”
Liu Qiming almost pressed his entire body against the computer, saying incoherently: “This… this! Immediately protect this Qing’an! This is an absolute genius! Even if this technology wasn’t developed by Qing’an, they must have a certain say in this technology. In short, we must find an opportunity to contact this Qing’an! ”
“Valuable, right? ” Zhang Keqiang smiled: “Worth it? ”
“Worth it, I’d even say we struck gold! ” Liu Qiming couldn’t hide the smile on his face: “With this Qing’an, the rejuvenation of China is just around the corner! Young people are awesome! Whoever says that the post-00s generation is lost again, I’ll beat them up! ”
Then, he added: “Um… don’t touch this document for now. Notify the technicians to work overtime and encrypt it before transferring it to the classified documents. We’ll hold a meeting tomorrow to study this thing. ”
Late at night, the Minister of Science and Technology and the Minister of National Defense finally ended their conversation and went home.
When Liu Qiming got home, the bedroom light was off, and presumably his wife was already asleep.
Liu Qiming tiptoed to the bedside, carefully tidied up, and prepared to go to bed.
“Back? ”
A voice suddenly came from beside him: “So late, what were you doing at Old Zhang’s place? ”
“You’re not asleep yet! ” Liu Qiming smiled: “Old Zhang found a talent over there, who developed a particularly useful technology. ”
“How useful? ”
“It can be said that with this technology, our country may not be afraid of anyone in the future. Other countries will have to look at our faces, so tell me, isn’t it important? ”
Liu Qiming’s wife didn’t ask further, because it might involve state secrets.
“Then can we take a vacation and travel the world? ”
She asked.
Liu Qiming smiled, turned around and hugged her: “After all these years, you still remember your wish from back then! ”
“What? You don’t want to? ”
“How could I not, of course I do! ” Liu Qiming laughed heartily: “When China becomes strong enough that no one can bully us, or dare to bully us, I will travel the world with you! ”
“You said the same thing twenty years ago! ”
“There’s no other way, didn’t one of our ancestors say: How can we have a home if the Xiongnu haven’t been destroyed? ”
May there be someone waiting for you when you look back after a busy life.
Of course, that night, not only Liu Qiming and Zhang Keqiang were having trouble sleeping.
