Chapter 1212: 587 Chapter Oh my bovine deity! What’s going on here!_1

Thirty billion, it’s not a small sum.

The anti-gravity team’s investment to date has just exceeded thirty billion, and they will definitely increase investment later on, but the main expenses are still associated with the development of the anti-gravity nuclear fusion device in collaboration with the nuclear research institute.

The R&D funds for a national key project are also at the level of several tens of billions of yuan.

Zhao Yi merely mentioned conducting experiments to verify research findings, not applying for a major R&D project. Still, starting with thirty billion was somewhat intimidating.

Moreover, he said "initially, thirty billion".

Initially...

In other words, there would definitely be subsequent phases. If the initial phase required thirty billion, how much would be needed later?

The current focus of the nation’s R&D was on the anti-gravity nuclear fusion device. The fusion device had moved beyond the design phase into production, which included costly materials, parts, and related experimental equipment. The expected investment was at least well over tens of billions and could likely cost several hundreds of billions, possibly even more.

However, without a doubt, Zhao Yi’s research on Z-waves was also extremely important because the existing Z-wave technology had become a strategic-level technology.

The senior leader came to Yanhua University personally just to learn about Zhao Yi’s progress in Z-wave research. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Can you give a more detailed explanation?"

Zhao Yi knew thirty billion was indeed a lot, but it was a paltry sum compared to the research content. He said with utter disregard for the amount, "My research has found that Z-waves are the inverse waves of space. I need to use experiments to prove this point, and furthermore, study the effects of Z-waves on matter."

The senior leader asked with confusion, "Aren’t Z-waves unable to affect matter?"

"That’s only due to insufficient intensity."

Zhao Yi said, "That’s why I’m applying for funding. I need to see a super high-power Z-wave Generator, as well as a corresponding anti-gravity device." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Additionally, it would be best to have a power plant nearby because energy supply is a major issue."

"So I said, thirty billion is just the initial funding. I’m not sure how much money will be required, we need specialized personnel to make an assessment."

"And a power plant needs to be built as well?"

The senior leader immediately knew that this would be a very large experimental project that required a dedicated power plant for its energy supply. Just the thought of the scale of the experiment piqued his interest, and he inquired, "Can you discuss the results of your theoretical derivation? Or rather, if the experiment is successful, what could it bring?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, cupped his chin in thought, and said, "Using this Z-wave technology, perhaps we could create a spaceship capable of reaching Mars in three minutes?"

"..."

"..."

Although Zhao Yi posed it as a question, everyone including the senior leader’s secretary, the nearby guards, and those standing behind them, Qian Hong and Lin Xiaoqing, were all astonished and their mouths fell open.

Three minutes to reach... Mars?

Is this some kind of joke?

The senior leader directly asked, "Zhao Yi, you’re not joking, are you?"

"I’m very serious."

Zhao Yi said, "This is exactly what I am researching. That’s why I need to see the most powerful Z-wave Generator. The research has other benefits as well."

"If we can build the most powerful Z-wave Generator, then we will gain much more experience with Z-wave Generators in the future."

"Furthermore, building a power plant will also facilitate future research. All of these endeavors are very meaningful."

The senior leader, listening and nodding, had already decided on the project issue. Compared to the technology that could reach Mars in three minutes, not to mention thirty billion yuan, even a hundred times more would be absolutely worth it.

He gave Zhao Yi a positive response.

On the way back, the senior leader pondered carefully about who would undertake the R&D funding.

For confidential research to proceed normally with funding, it had to be registered under an institution or corporation’s name. The Aviation Group would undoubtedly be in charge of the Z-wave research.

Whether it’s anti-gravity technology or Space Link Technology, both are directly related to the Aviation Group, with the Z-wave research being highly confidential and should similarly be carried out under the Aviation Group’s name, qualifying as a cooperative research project with the military.

Very soon.

Liu Jiankun received a message saying that Zhao Yi was planning a Z-wave experiment that required the construction of an accompanying power plant, and he was applying for an initial funding of thirty billion.

A Z-wave experiment?

Thirty billion? freeweɓnovel.cøm

Liu Jiankun immediately thought of the project in collaboration with the military—the Z-wave satellite weapon.

The design for the Z-wave satellite weapon had long been completed, and it had entered the manufacturing stage. The design was relatively simple with roughly three main components: solar panels, a Z-wave Generator, and an electronic control system.

However, the development investment for a brand new satellite weapon was also extremely high. The Aviation Group had invested a significant amount of funds, and combined with the investments in the fusion device, the costs of R&D were indeed like pouring water.

Now another thirty billion?

"That’s not right!"

Liu Jiankun thought carefully and suddenly felt that the figure of thirty billion sounded familiar. His eyes widened in shock, "A few days ago, didn’t Zhao Yi say he wanted to start a tech company under the name of the Aviation Group? And he asked how much the group could invest? Didn’t I seem to mention thirty billion?"

"This kid Zhao Yi... no way! Could it be that he did that on purpose? To first find out how much money we have and then apply for the experiment with that exact amount?"

"This..."

"Such a deep ploy!"

Liu Jiankun found the idea terrifying, as if the group’s money was being targeted and could all be transferred away under various pretexts. Yet, he realized there was no way to stop it, not even able to voice a refusal.
