76. Three major issues, strategic importance!
Special Security Bureau.
The conference room was packed, with bigwigs from all sides gathered together, listening in complete silence to Zhang San's explanation.
Only after the PPT was turned to the last page and all the ideas were explained did the crowd start buzzing and discussing like a swarm of flies disturbed by a nest.
Some people thought the idea was novel, some thought there were too many difficulties, and some thought it was too unreliable, but everyone agreed that several key issues had to be resolved before the project could be further advanced.
After a moment's consideration, an elderly man with gray hair asked first, "How much does a jade scroll cost?" This was Old Chen, and all that was known was that his surname was Chen; no other information was available.
The group, led by Director Zou, all looked at Xu Yan.
The great writer Xu smacked his lips, thinking to himself, "How am I supposed to explain this?"
After a moment's hesitation, he began with a few words: "The two worlds lack comparison, so I can't really say how much it's worth..."
Director Zou said, "Just tell the truth."
Xu Yan glanced at Director Zou: "The gold nugget I brought back... I traded it for half a jade tablet."
Those who knew the details immediately began to calculate, while those who didn't looked completely bewildered.
Director Zou promptly explained, "That gold nugget is worth 260 million yuan, and even after deducting the premium, it's still worth 160 million yuan."
Old Chen nodded: "One piece costs 320 million, and a cannon with 124 pieces costs 4 million. That's much more expensive than a capacitor!"
Xu Yanxin said that the things we have here are worth a lot more in another world, so we can't just use gold to calculate the price.
But then I thought, if he could think of these problems, wouldn't these big shots think of them too?
Forget it, listen more and talk less, and don't be a busybody!
"This is just the bare minimum!" said a middle-aged man with a resolute face. "It doesn't even include the added value of the Thunder Talisman technique!"
This man's surname is Lu, and everyone calls him President Lu. Other information is also unknown.
"That's right!" Old Chen patted the armrest. "This thing can't be used without refining and activating it, and the actual cost will only be higher. Just like what that young comrade said earlier, unless it can be charged, the cost is a big problem... Let's put aside whether it can be applied on a large scale for now. My suggestion is to start the research first, just as a technological reserve."
"I agree!" President Lu was the first to vote.
"agree!"
"I agree..."
Old Chen smiled with satisfaction: "Director Zou."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, please speak."
"You proposed this project, so you need to oversee the follow-up research and submit a plan later. We have no problem with personnel, funding, or technology!"
"Okay, don't worry."
Old Chen tapped the table again: "There are a few more things. First is the issue of raw materials. The acquisition, processing, and use of the Jade Manual must be elevated to a strategic level!"
"The second issue is technical. We can't rely solely on Master Cheng and Comrade Xu for refining. We must have our research department find alternative methods as soon as possible, such as whether we can use electrical pulses to activate the jade talisman."
"Thirdly, there's the application. As I just mentioned, relevant research must begin as soon as possible, especially in the area of converting electricity into spiritual energy. And it's not just about electricity; research in other areas also needs to be put on the agenda, such as converting solar energy into spiritual energy... We're all laymen in this field, so we'll have to ask Master Cheng for his help... I suggest that we hire Master Cheng as a technical advisor for the project team, and in terms of compensation, we should follow the standards for foreign academicians. Master Cheng, what do you think?"
Wow, Xu Yan was immediately shocked.
Can academician benefits be given so easily?
Master Cheng, still holding his phone, looked completely bewildered: "Me?"
Xu Yan covered her face, feeling utterly exhausted.
He had already trained a cultivator addicted to the internet. From the very beginning, he had been thinking of preventing Master Cheng from following in the footsteps of Master He. But despite all his precautions, he hadn't anticipated that the Special Security Bureau would actually give Master Cheng a mobile phone!
Besides its exceptionally powerful features, far surpassing mainstream models on the market, the most important thing is that the phone contains a large number of videos explaining various common sense facts about life.
Master Cheng loved it so much that he mentioned it more than once, finally understanding why He Tiannan was so obsessed with it.
Xu Yan didn't even know how to complain anymore. Why couldn't common sense be popularized by other means? Why did they have to use a mobile phone?
Faced with Master Cheng's doubts, Old Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it's you! I heard you were injured when you were young. We have already arranged a physical examination for you. We have some special treatment methods that might be useful."
Master Cheng immediately perked up, even ignoring his phone: "What kind of method?"
Old Chen smiled and said, "It mainly involves in vitro stem cell culture, using the newly cultivated organs to replace damaged tissues or organs."
"What the hell?"
"Whether it's your heart, liver, kidneys, or anything else that's damaged, we can replace it with a new one!"
Master Cheng's eyes widened: "This can be exchanged?" Even elixirs are nothing more than this.
"Some can, some can't; we have to check first."
"Then what are we waiting for!" Master Cheng jumped to his feet. "Let's go, let's go!"
As she spoke, she glared at Xu Yan, as if to say: Why didn't you say so earlier when you had such a good thing? You just wait!
Xu Yan felt utterly wronged. Was it that he didn't want to tell anyone? He simply had no idea that the technology was already mature!
Besides, you can replace your heart, liver, and lungs, but you can't replace your meridians. Don't be too happy yet!
Master Chen quickly reassured him, "Taoist Master, please don't worry, we'll arrange it for you right away."
He then gave Director Zou a look, and Zou Qiang immediately understood: "Old Li, get it arranged quickly!"
Li Er agreed and quickly ushered the impatient Master Cheng out of the meeting room.
Old Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Our Taoist priest is truly... straightforward!"
Xu Yan...where did you see that? How come I didn't notice?
Old Chen's smile faded. "Finally, and most importantly, how do we cooperate?" He then looked at Xu Yan. "Comrade Xu, what are your thoughts?"
"Huh?" Xu Yan thought for a moment, "I don't have any particular ideas. It's about mutual benefit and complementary resources."
Old Chen seemed to be implying something: "The main issue is still the distribution of the Jade Manual. It would be best to establish a plan beforehand, you understand what I mean?"
Mr. Lu suggested, "How about splitting the profits proportionally?"
Old Chen asked Zou Qiang, "What's your opinion?"
Director Zou thought for a moment and said, "I suggest that priority be given to Comrade Xu and Master Cheng for cultivation, and the remainder can be used by the bureau for research!"
Old Chen nodded approvingly: "I agree, let's do it this way."
Only Xu Yan can travel between the two worlds, so it would be too easy to intercept them. Since that's the case, instead of coldly putting the allocation ratio on paper, it would be better to give priority to them openly.
Moreover, Director Zou also knew Xu Yan to some extent.
Proportional allocation is a business matter, while priority supply is a matter of personal favor. In this way, Xu Yan will not take more than his share.
"Then it's settled!" Old Chen stood up, supporting himself on the table. "Comrade Xu, if you need anything, just let the bureau know. Zou will definitely cooperate fully. It's getting late, meeting adjourned!"
