Chapter 637: Chips to manipulate Song Yao

Villa.

"I'm back."

Returning home, a warm atmosphere rushed toward him. Xu Qingzhou hung up his down jacket and changed into slippers.

In the living room, Song Yao was wearing thick white pajamas, curled up on the sofa watching "Friends," the whole person looking fluffy, just like Er Miao lying on the sofa, which made Xu Qingzhou want to go over and pet her twice.

But before he got close, Song Yao lifted her foot and threatened: "If you dare to come over, I'll kick you!"

After drinking, he smelled terrible.

She had just changed the sofa cover in the evening and didn't want to get the smell of alcohol on it.

"I only drank one bottle this time."

Xu Qingzhou tugged at his sweater, smelled it a few times, and said helplessly.

"You can't smell it yourself when you drink, hurry up and take a bath."

"Are you a dog? You can smell this too, don't move... fine, fine, fine, going to take a bath." Xu Qingzhou sighed and went upstairs to take a bath.

10 minutes passed, Xu Qingzhou had finished his bath, dried his hair, and walked downstairs slowly, intending to cherish some time with Song Xiaohua first.

He sat down, and Song Yao squeezed over reluctantly, sniffed, and there was only a tiny bit of alcohol smell, within an acceptable range.

Leaning in Xu Qingzhou's arms, while watching TV, she said: "Luo Sen is in contact with equipment manufacturers. I gave them a budget of 600 million. If there are no accidents, it can be negotiated before February. However, for some equipment originally planned to be purchased from the United States, I think we can follow the second procurement plan and contact Germany first. In case we can't buy it, we won't be too passive."

On January 18th, representatives from the United States would also come over.

According to Xu Qingzhou's understanding of the United States, they would inevitably bring up some strange requirements, such as in intellectual property rights, requiring member states to fully disclose technical details, but their own enterprise, General Atomics, refused to submit full-size superconducting coil manufacturing process parameters to the ITER organization on the grounds of commercial secrets.

Typical double-standard dog.

Once the two sides broke down, it would definitely be a tug-of-war, and perhaps an embargo would appear, intending to put pressure on the Xia Nation from the source of the equipment.

"Good, do as you say."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. Song Xiaohua handled things very thoroughly, especially in economic aspects, considering much more comprehensively than him.

He smiled and said: "Even in the worst case, we can choose domestic equipment to replace it, it's just that the performance will be a bit weaker, and I'll find a way to improve it then."

For example, the ion beam irradiation simulation device; the equipment flux of the Institute of Modern Physics of the Xia Academy of Sciences reached 10 ions/m, which had a gap with the international level, but it was enough.

In the Tokamak device, the Xia Nation was generally at the forefront of the world, and most equipment could achieve self-sufficiency, similar to the compact high-temperature superconducting magnet system, and the micro-tritium breeding blanket experimental platform could all be purchased domestically.

And core components in equipment such as radio-frequency wave heating devices and laser Thomson scattering instruments needed to be purchased from the United States and Germany; domestic ones could not yet meet his experimental needs.

Equipment purchased domestically had already been paid for, and installation could start after the New Year. Foreign ones needed negotiation, price determination, avoidance of export restrictions, and even prevention of sudden control.

The two chatted about work for a while.

Song Yao rubbed against Xu Qingzhou's arms, changed to a comfortable position, and said: "Auntie Wang called today to ask if we want to buy a house in Rongcheng."

"Wait a bit longer, it's not like ten years ago, housing prices are skyrocketing like a rocket. We can't go back a few times a year now, just the two of us, both my house and your house have places to stay."

"Hmm."

Song Yao nodded. Indeed, there was no need to buy another house; it couldn't be lived in a few times a year, and it was all empty.

"Met an interesting driver brother when I came back today," Xu Qingzhou told Song Yao about the brother he chatted with on the way back at night.

"You? Being kept?"

Song Yao hummed, and said with some contempt: "Can't even cook well, bullying me all day, and still want to be a man at home who washes, cooks, and takes care of children."

"Pfft, someone is quite powerful now, cooking well, but it can't change that before even woo woo woo~"

The remaining words were covered in her mouth by Song Yao's hand. ===== CHAPTER 638 =====
