A Bold Idea!

There is only one company capable of producing high-end lithography machines: ASML.

It is a company jointly supported by multiple countries, making it virtually impossible for any country or armed group to seize it.

To seize this company would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Eagle Sauce and dozens of countries, including the EU.

But Chen Feng has no reason to be afraid of that.

He was already hiding in the shadows, and he also possessed the ability to draw scrolls, so it was indeed feasible for him to steal a few lithography machines from ASML.

Lin Wei had no idea that Chen Feng was already planning to rob Asmai. She then said:

"Don't worry, although we can't buy them, renting them shouldn't be a problem. If you want me to give you a specific figure, just give me 500 million first. That should be enough to upgrade the sensors."

"Furthermore, I need a research team specializing in microphysics; this kind of research cannot be handled by one person."

"Five hundred million?" Chen Feng stared blankly at Lin Wei, almost thinking he had misheard.

His total assets now amount to only a little over fifty million.

This was a deposit from the government for Blazing Sun Iron.

Asking him to come up with 500 million yuan right away is simply impossible for him.

Lin Wei sat in the research lab chair, shrugging helplessly as she said:

"I didn't ask you for an extra penny. This is already the bare minimum. Technology is very expensive, especially when it comes to microphysics; every piece of equipment is incredibly expensive."

Chen Feng nodded. "I'll figure out the money problem; I'll raise it as soon as possible."

At that moment, Chen Feng felt that he still didn't have enough money.

While the artifacts from the Painting Scroll World are very precious, there are simply too many restrictions imposed on them within China.

This also slowed down his wealth accumulation.

However, if he tries to sell something too outrageous, he will face endless trouble.

He has now reached the Second Layer of Qi Refining. While he may not be invincible in the modern world, he can at least truly protect himself.

We can now explore another path.

This path involves establishing your own businesses abroad to sell extraordinary products and rapidly accumulate wealth.

All I need to do is stay hidden in the shadows.

In fact, Chen Feng had wanted to do this before, which is why he spared Jack and the others' lives.

"Professor Chen is so generous!" Lin Wei stood up excitedly.

She was genuinely excited because no one had ever been so decisive in supporting her research project.

She had always wanted to undertake various scientific research projects, but funding had always been a problem.

But Chen Feng agreed to give her 500 million yuan simply because of her theoretical arguments.

At that moment, she felt that Chen Feng was her soulmate.

"Also, you'll need to handle the research team. The Dragon Academy of Sciences has many talented people. With your research achievements in the field of Blazing Sun Iron, you can definitely apply to them. I'll give you a list of personnel in a bit," Lin Wei said at the opportune moment.

Chen Feng nodded.

This isn't difficult. As long as he says he wants to research new metals and needs some people to come and help him, Liu Mu will definitely agree.

When it's time to deliver, he can simply use a metal from the Painting Scroll World that's even better than the Blazing Sun Iron.

Chen Feng then left some Spiritual Qi behind for Lin Wei before departing.

Upon arriving at the factory warehouse, Chen Feng rearranged the scroll and then entered the Painting Scroll World to activate the industrial conveyor belt there.

Chen Feng took a brief stroll around the Xingfeng Sect.

There weren't many people Xingfeng Sect at the moment; neither Wang Hu nor Liu Qian were there.

Both of them were dealing with the aftermath of the Jiang Household's destruction.

After confirming that everything was calm at the Xingfeng Sect, Chen Feng returned to the modern world.

Upon arriving at the factory warehouse, Chen Feng noticed that the speed at which the Blazing Sun Stone were transported on the conveyor belt was several times faster than before.

This pleased Chen Feng; at this rate, the orders from the government would be completed soon.

Then, Chen Feng called Liu Mu back. As soon as the call connected, Liu Mu's voice came through:

"Little Chen, I can't get through to you on the phone."

"Boss, I was on the plane, so my phone was off." Chen Feng didn't hide anything; he knew very well that Liu Mu definitely knew he had gone abroad.

Liu Mu called because he was worried something might have happened to him, since he had been abroad for quite a while this time.

Chen Feng decided that it would be better to smuggle himself out of the country in the future. Otherwise, Liu Mu would be living in constant fear, afraid that he would be arrested abroad.

"It's good that you're alright. Don't go out anymore. Wound Healing No. 1 has been launched, and it will definitely attract a lot of attention from abroad. Safety is not an issue to be ignored," Liu Mu solemnly instructed.

Chen Feng understood that, as Liu Mu had said, the Blazing Sun Iron was currently only for military use and was classified as a secret.

But Wound Healing No. 1 is different; it's a civilian medical product.

With the efficacy of Wound Healing No. 1, it won't be long before Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals becomes internationally famous.

As the boss, he naturally attracts attention, and those who want to investigate can find out more.

"Boss, the real reason I'm going abroad this time is to recruit some research talent, because I plan to develop a completely new type of metal."

Chen Feng then used the excuse he had prepared beforehand.

That is, he wanted to research new metals, but unfortunately he didn't have a good research team, so he went abroad to recruit talent.

Sure enough, Liu Mu immediately responded excitedly on the other end of the phone:

"Little Chen, why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner! Although Europe and America have many talented people, we have excellent scientific research talents in China as well."

"Here's what you'll do. Just tell me what kind of expert you need, and I'll apply to the higher-ups to have the Dragon Academy of Sciences allocate personnel for you."

"I guarantee it! Their abilities are absolutely top-notch, and their salaries will all be covered by our military; you won't need to pay anything."

Chen Feng is going to develop a new metal!

Although Liu Mu didn't know what this metal was, Chen Feng was able to research the Blazing Sun Iron, so this new metal must be quite good.

"Okay, thank you, boss. I'll send you the list later."

Liu Mu replied, "Yes, I guarantee these people will be at your factory in less than two days."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you have time, you can come to our military region."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was slightly taken aback.

He never expected Liu Mu to invite him to the military region.

"Is something the matter?" Chen Feng asked.

Liu Mu said with a smile, "It's nothing. I just wanted you to see our tanks and fighter jets, which could provide a direction for your future research."

"This is also a tradition of our domestic military industry enterprises. Every year, a group of people from military industry enterprises are regularly organized to visit. The visit will be next Monday."

"I'll reserve a spot for you if you want to come, but it's okay if you don't."

After listening to Liu Mu's words, Chen Feng fell into deep thought.

At that moment, a bold idea came to his mind!

Could I take the painting to the military region and get a few tanks or fighter jets to send into the Painting Scroll World?
