Chapter 904: His Responsibilities To The Country

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was no exaggeration to say that the Eastern Alliance was able to stir up trouble in the world entirely because they controlled the core technology. This was also why they were in such a tight spot.

“Pa da…

Mark Thomas lit a cigarette. His eyes were deep, and even his hands were trembling.

Of course, he knew what these chips meant. Whoever mastered the core technology would have the right to speak.

Dead silence!

Even though he knew and wanted to contribute to the country, he had to act according to his capabilities. Once he accepted the heavy responsibility and he couldn’t produce anything in the end, getting bankrupt was a minor issue but the failing the country was the major issue!

“Hmm…. I want to know,” Mark Thomas exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and said solemnly, “What kind of help can the higher- ups provide me?” He had no confidence at all! After all, this news was earth-shattering!

“An experienced research team! Led by the current expert of this field. As for funding, it’s very difficult for the higher-ups to assist.

“It’s not that we don’t have it, nor is it that we can’t bear to part with it. It’s just that we’re considering it as a top secret. Other than that, we won’t provide you with any other assistance!

“Let me tell you something. Currently, the commonly seen chip on the market is 5mm. However, according to our intelligence, the Eastern Alliance has already developed a 3mm high-tech chip.”

“It’s just that for some unknown reason, it’s impossible to mass produce it, and the success rate is extremely low. We still don’t know anything about the function of the 3mm chip, but there is no doubt that it will bring a hurricane of innovation to the entire military.

Mark Thomas rubbed his forehead. After a long silence, he asked again, “Then… What about us?”

“If I remember correctly, a long time ago, the military started developing their chips. It can’t be that after so many years, there’s no progress at all, right?”

If it was a zero foundation, then even if ten Thomas companies were involved, it would be difficult to make any progress.

Although Mark Thomas had already made up his mind, he still needed to understand everything. He needed to know how confident he was. And according to Oliver Walker, if even 3mn came out, the gap would be huge! “7mm but the success rate is extremely low!”

Oliver Walker’s tone turned heavy. “But it was announced to the public that it was 14mn. It’s just that it’s not as backward as the Eastern Alliance imagined, but in fact, there is still the distance between heaven and earth!”

Perhaps the difference between 7 and 3 nanomachines was not big but such a gap required countless researchers to tackle the problem day and night. The financial resources invested would also be countless.

It would even exceed the size of Thomas Corporation by tens or hundreds!

“I know! Since you came to me, it means that the country trusts me!” Mark Thomas frowned.

“I don’t dare to say that I can do it but I’m willing to fight for the future of my country. I’ll immediately shrink my financial resources and prepare for the chip field with all my strength! When will the researchers arrive?” Perhaps there wasn’t too much emotion, nor was there too much vow of eternal love!

But was it necessary? No need!

Mark Thomas was a righteous man! He knew what this decision would mean.

If it succeeded, Thomas would indeed be able to become one of the top companies in the country. However, the success rate, to put it bluntly, was much lower than winning five million in the lottery!

He even knew that this was an impossible task.

One must know that the Eastern Alliance was an alliance formed by more than ten developed countries. The chip was also jointly developed by the Eastern Alliance.

Thomas Company? How could it compare?

However, the rise and fall of the country was the responsibility of everyone. He enjoyed the protection of the country, so when the country needed it, he would naturally give generously.

In the face of righteousness, there was no bargaining!
