"All right, if the boss won't tell us, he must have his reasons.
We still can't work out exactly how this material is made or how it works, but think about it. With a supermaterial like this, how many of our current problems could be solved in one fell swoop?
I think we should put more effort into finding applications for it!
As long as we produce enough results and contribute enough, the boss will surely give us gradual access to more of the core technology!
Besides, is ten billion really that much? With this dream material, how many scientific challenges could we overcome? When that happens, won't the money come pouring in?" Elder Yu smiled and cast a Morale Boost on everyone.
Sure enough, everyone perked up, their eyes shining.
The moment they learned about this material, countless ideas for applications had begun bubbling up in their minds. They could hardly wait to start experimenting.
"Lao Liang, you'll hold on to this sample for now. Getting it was the result of everyone's hard work, so anyone with a relevant research project can apply to Lao Liang for permission to use it! Lao Liang, assess their requests and let everyone take turns."
Liang Guang nodded, and everyone else expressed their agreement.
"But it seems the boss hasn't named this material yet. We can't keep calling it 'this material,' so let's give it a name first!" Elder Yu added.
"This stuff is so incredible it's like a magical item. How about we call it... 'mithril'?" Liang Guang suggested.
"Mithril? That's a great name!" "Not bad!" "Good one, Lao Liang!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

With the discussion over, everyone logged off, ready to return and devise plans for making the most of mithril.
