The words had already been let out.
However, how to develop and manufacture lithography machines.
Meng Hao was currently at a complete loss.
It wasn't that he didn't have the technology to develop lithography machines.
Within the system store,
Let alone high-precision lithography machines, even optical computer technology that uses photons as a computational medium could be exchanged.
But.
Meng Hao needed to find a legitimate reason to fool... oh no, to convince the public!
Just like the long-range assault module built for the Soviet Union previously, and the modified Huarong Type I mecha and the Phantom Power Mecha's reflective propulsion engine modules.
Although system-redeemed technology was used,
If one were to delve deeper, it could be claimed that the technology was developed from the salvaged outer shell of a purchased US F-35.
As for how it was developed.
Or if someone in the US had actually leaked the true technology to Meng Hao.
Sorry.
It concerns trade secrets.
It is not to be answered.
In short.
As long as a legitimate source of technology can be provided, and this source is indeed technology that already exists or is under development on Earth.
Then, it would be enough to confuse the public.
Speaking of selling arms, core technology, and so on.
Meng Hao's eyes lit up.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since he last chatted with Jarvis.
Although Jarvis was also a white foreigner, he was a pure individual.
A pure scoundrel... as long as you offer the right price, and he truly has the goods, forget about classified national equipment like the F-35 or lithography machines, he could even sell you nuclear bombs.
This kind of pure arms dealer who only craves money, with no conscience or national righteousness, was indeed rare in this world.
...
The trans-oceanic call was connected.
When Jarvis heard Meng Hao's voice, he was ecstatic.
"My dear Meng, you are quite the sensation right now..."
"Are you planning to sell something through me? The price is negotiable... If you want to defect to another country, I'm also willing to be your introducer, I only charge a 5% introduction fee..."
Look at that.
What do you call a pure scoundrel?
This is it.
Immensely professional, direct, and no-nonsense.
Only talks about money.
No scheming or trickery.
Even if rejected by Meng Hao, he would have no negative emotions.
If the deal falls through, friendship remains!
A businessman.
The most important thing is to make money!
"Oh!"
"Neither of those."
"My dear Meng, you intend to purchase lithography machines?"
"God, that thing is even harder to get than a nuclear bomb."
"Furthermore, my internal sources have informed me that General Dynamics, for some unknown reason, has submitted an application to Congress to further strengthen the lithography machine embargo against Da Xia!"
Unsurprisingly.
This was another one of Bob's schemes.
Uh!
Just as Meng Hao thought this line would be cut off and he wouldn't be able to purchase lithography machines through Jarvis.
This gold-worshipping fake foreigner slapped his forehead, seemingly remembering something.
"My dear Meng!"
"I remember now."
"Recently, in order to strengthen the lithography machine embargo against your Da Xia, the US government has moved many countries' lithography machine companies to its own soil."
"Well, apart from some extremely advanced lithography machines, there are also a few scrapped old ones. Let me check where these scrapped old ones were thrown away..."
Jarvis muttered.
He said he would check,
But didn't give an answer, and the trans-oceanic call wasn't hung up.
Meng Hao smiled faintly.
This old white fox.
He truly wouldn't spill the beans until he saw the hawk.
Does it take this long to find the whereabouts of a scrapped lithography machine?
He was waiting for Meng Hao to pay the information fee!
*Crickety-crack.*
Meng Hao typed furiously on the keyboard, then continued to speak.
"Jarvis, we haven't had a meal together in a long time."
"I just transferred a million US dollars to you, consider it a token of appreciation for dinner."
"Check it, did you receive it!"
As expected.
Money paved the way, making things easier.
Almost the moment Meng Hao finished speaking, Jarvis replied immediately!
"Oh!"
"Found it! This damned information booklet was put in the trash by someone."
"Well, these are four ASML NXE:3400b extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, with a process node of 5-7nm!"
"Although they are older generation products with slightly lower production efficiency, only able to produce 125 wafers per hour, they are still quite powerful lithography machines. They are currently stored in Honolulu City."
"As for the damaged location, damn it, the information doesn't have it..."
He paused for a moment.
Jarvis then put on an expression of astonishment, as if he had witnessed a divine revelation.
"Oh my heavens!"
"My dear Meng, you are too kind."
"It's just providing some information, and you've already sent me a million US dollars as a tea fee. Dealing with you is truly a delightful surprise."
Meng Hao curled his lips.
This damned, pure scoundrel, this money-grubbing black-hearted merchant, truly would sell his own parents if the money was right.
However.
Could his acting be any more refined?
This feigned shock.
Was it not too fake?
"Can you get the specific details of these lithography machines?"
Meng Hao continued to inquire.
Jarvis paused for a moment.
However, this time, it was definitely not to wait for Meng Hao to pay the "information fee."
From the phone, one could clearly hear Jarvis typing on the keyboard, seemingly contacting someone.
"My deepest apologies, my dear Meng."
"The seller is suspicious of our intent to purchase a few scrapped lithography machines."
"And has stated that if we are truly sincere, we can go to Honolulu City to inspect the machines in person!"
Hmm.
Unlike the previous time when he sold scrapped F-35 outer shells, Meng Hao would have to fly to Honolulu City this time.
"My dear Meng, are you going to see them?"
"I can accompany you!"
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we met, I've missed you a bit!"
Meng Hao rolled his eyes.
This fake foreigner missed him?
Don't be ridiculous.
It was obvious.
He wanted to act as an intermediary and collect an agency fee.
However.
Without Jarvis, even if Meng Hao went to Honolulu City, he would be completely lost and wouldn't find a contact person!
"Oh!"
"Really?"
"Do you need me to buy you a plane ticket?"
Meng Hao asked playfully with a smile at Jarvis.
After all.
This was someone who had fallen head over heels for money.
"Oh!"
"No, no need."
"You are too kind, Meng."
"I'll pack my things and prepare to fly to Honolulu City immediately!"
Clearly.
Jarvis was extremely excited.
After all.
If this deal could be successfully negotiated, he would receive a substantial agency fee as commission.
As for why Meng Hao wanted to purchase scrapped NXE:3400b extreme ultraviolet lithography machines that even the US government didn't bother with?
Curiosity flickered in Jarvis's mind for a few seconds before being dismissed.
As a qualified black-hearted merchant, a true scoundrel who only recognized money,
He also had his own principles.
One of them was.
To take the money and do the job.
To serve his customers well.
Even if the client used his product to blow up the Earth, that would only happen after he received the payment!
