“How much do you need?”

Yang Ying hesitated for a moment before asking casually.

“One… ton of nuclear material?” Yang Zhenhua looked even more embarrassed, his voice as weak as a mosquito’s.

For those engaged in research, there’s nothing more awkward than asking for funding.

Just now, the task assigned by the palace lord was to apply nuclear fusion energy to all industries that require energy for civilian use.

As far as he knew, the scale of the industries controlled by Taiji Hall now was so vast that covering all of them with nuclear fusion energy would require at least ten tons, a very conservative estimate.

At this moment.

Hearing Professor Yang Zhenhua’s words.

“One ton… one ton…”

Yang Ying secretly did some calculations in her heart.

According to the price of 10,000 US dollars per gram, each kilogram would be 10 million US dollars; one ton would be…

“Ten billion… US dollars?”

Yang Ying’s mouth gaped slightly… raising her voice.

She knew high technology would be expensive, but she didn’t think it would cost this much.

Although the industries Taiji Hall was involved in were huge, in the face of 10 billion US dollars, it was still an enormous amount.

It could even be said… they couldn’t afford it at all.

If it were market value, it wouldn’t be worth just 10 billion, but rather over 100 billion US dollars.

But the problem was, according to Professor Yang Zhenhua, they needed cash, a whole 10 billion in cash.

Even if it were a tobacco company, they probably couldn’t come up with that much money in such a short period of time.

Not to mention… Taiji Hall now had much profit, but expenses were also high; just increasing staff salaries and various charitable activities consumed half of it.

Seeing the incredulous look on Yang Ying’s face.

Yang Zhenhua looked somewhat ashamed.

Back when he was still in school, before Taiji Hall poached him, he had only asked for tens of thousands… at most hundreds of thousands in funding.

This 10-billion-dollar figure… was the first time he had ever mentioned it in his life.

“Elder Yang Ying, if you find it difficult, we could actually… pay in installments.”

“As long as we replace the energy with nuclear fusion, we can monopolize the industry, and then recover the funds… it’s just that… it might take a little longer.”

Yang Zhenhua explained:

“For example, we could first replace the energy in the electric car and phone industries with nuclear fusion energy, and quickly recover a lot of cash, and then…”

Hearing this, Yang Ying nodded slightly.

She understood what he was saying.

That is to say… if they couldn’t afford to cover all industries in full, they could do it in stages.

Anyway, as long as they unveiled the nuclear fusion energy, they could quickly monopolize the industry, and they would then have as much money as they wanted.

Of course… in this way, they wouldn’t be able to meet the palace lord’s requirement to fully cover all industries within half a year.

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Ying asked, “What if we were to make our own nuclear materials? Would we save some money?”

“Difficult!”

Hearing this response, Yang Zhenhua shook his head.

“Elder Yang Ying, other materials for nuclear fusion are easy, but one of them, if self-made, is not much cheaper than purchasing and requires a lot of time and effort.”

“This material is called Helium-3…”

Helium-3??

Yang Ying hesitated for a moment and then recalled some memories from high school.

There was a saying: physics knowledge might be beyond comprehension for college students, but for high school students, it was quite familiar.

Although she was a liberal arts student, she had managed to get into a prestigious media university due to her abilities. She understood some basic physics knowledge.

It was just that so many years had passed… she had forgotten.

Fortunately, after becoming a cultivator, Yang Ying’s brain had been developed, and some long-forgotten knowledge could be recalled with a bit of pondering.

Helium-3… Helium-3…

“Professor Zhenhua, are you talking about… the Helium-3 mines on the Moon?” Yang Ying finally remembered and asked excitedly.

“Uh… yes.”

Seeing her excitement, Yang Zhenhua was somewhat baffled.

“Hahaha- Then there’s no problem. Although Helium-3 is scarce on Water Blue Star, the Moon has an uncountable amount.”

Yang Ying showed a faint smile on her face and then said softly, “Our palace lord is capable of traversing the stars with his physical body.”

“If you say that the main shortage is Helium-3, then I will report to the palace lord later and go to the Moon to collect some.”

Traverse the stars with one’s physical body?

Yang Zhenhua was dumbfounded.

This… this… this doesn’t make sense. Even a moon landing rocket would have to carefully navigate the harsh environment of space, and the likelihood of returning would be slim.

Not to mention… huh?

Wait.

It quickly dawned on him that their palace lord wasn’t an ordinary person but someone who could scoop meteorites with his bare hands.

When a meteorite fell from outer space, its energy would be equivalent to the explosion of countless nuclear bombs due to the gravitational pull of Water Blue Star.

Such a terrifying force could be easily handled by their palace lord, who could conjure a giant illusory hand to scoop it away…

Let alone the harsh environment of space.

With this in mind, Yang Zhenhua’s spirits lifted, and he quickly saluted and said, “Great, great, great! Then I’ll leave this matter to Elder Yang Ying.”

“As long as you provide enough Helium-3,1 can guarantee that within three months, I’ll replace all the nuclear energy within Taiji Hall’s industries.”

“Hm!”

Yang Ying nodded slightly, then waved her hand, “I’ll have the Helium-3 raw materials sent to you soon. Then, I won’t bother you anymore, Professor!”
