Chapter 672

Northwest Military Region General Headquarters.

Wu Xiang walked into Chen Guoan's office in a hurry.

"General Chen! Institute 11 sent a procurement application! Please instruct?"

Chen Guoan raised his eyes.

"Procurement application? What is that kid Song Qi messing with now?"

"For applications under 100 million, just pass it for him; why are you showing it to me?"

In the Northwest Military Region, the status of Institute 11 is lofty; for other research institutes, as long as the funding exceeds one million, they need to be reported to the leaders layer by layer for approval.

But Institute 11 is different; Chen Guoan gives an authority of 100 million because, according to the rules, he can only give 100 million...

Wu Di heard this, and his face was also a bit embarrassed.

"General, you'll know when you see it..."

After speaking, Wu Di pushed Song Qi's procurement application in front of Chen Guoan.

Chen Guoan picked it up and took a look.

He narrowed his eyes, then quickly put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.

Extreme ultraviolet... convergence device...

What is all this!

?

A big question mark slowly floated out from Chen Guoan's head.

This procurement list is clearly in Dragon Nation characters, so why, when arranged together, couldn't he understand a single word?

How strange...

Wait!

Chen Guoan's gaze suddenly fell on the words "extreme ultraviolet light."

His heart skipped a beat!

"Holy shit!"

"That kid Song Qi! He wouldn't be trying to build a lithography machine, would he!"

"Reporting to the Commander, judging from Engineer Song's procurement content, the possibility... is very high..."

Wu Di said hurriedly.

In an instant, the office fell into an eerie silence.

A ray of sharp light shot out from Chen Guoan's eyes!

Song Qi!

Actually prepared to take action in the field of lithography machines!

Could it be that the technology that has been choking our Dragon Nation can finally be solved?

As soon as this thought appeared, Chen Guoan shook his head and dismissed it.

Although he has confidence in Song Qi.

However, lithography machines and military industry are two completely different fields!

It can't be said that they are exactly the same; they are completely unrelated!

Although Song Qi is invincible in the field of military technology, he is a complete novice in the field of lithography machines!

Relying on a novice to break the technical barriers of the Western world for decades!

Solving this bottleneck problem, Chen Guoan knows clearly that the possibility is minimal!

Almost equal to zero!

After all, science and technology are not metaphysics!

Gradually, Chen Guoan's face also sank, and he fell into deep thought.

Just then, Wu Di, who had been silent, also spoke at the right time: "Commander! Most of the material lists submitted by Engineer Song are special materials that we don't have domestically. To manufacture them, we would have to open a new production line... but the usage is small, which is obviously not worth the cost..."

Hearing this, Chen Guoan's brows also gradually furrowed.

"How much money would it take to open these production lines?"

Wu Di was silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "Conservatively estimated, 15 billion Dragon Nation coins!"

"The cost even exceeds building an aircraft carrier..."

Hearing this, Chen Guoan also fell into silence.

15 billion Dragon Nation coins is not a small number...

Chen Guoan's brain was in a battle between heaven and man; after a full few minutes, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made an important decision.

"Song Qi is a great hero of our Dragon Nation; compared to Song Qi's value, this 15 billion is nothing at all!"

"Besides, even that coward Lu Debiao had the courage to take tens of billions to build an aircraft carrier for Song Qi!"

"As Song Qi's direct commander, can I be worse than Lu Debiao?"

"15 billion! Our Northwest Military Region, we're in!"
