Qin Shi transferred the ducks from Hangzhou to Hongjiang. Although he was suspected of deceiving Liu Bo, both parties were very satisfied with the result. Leaving Long Fei to help with the follow-up matters, Qin Shi set off again with Wanli and Ren Mingyue.
After picking up a car from Warwick Group, the three of them continued south.
Although Li Mubai found the real culprit behind the scenes, Mingyue was obviously not in a good mood. Fortunately, they were heading south, and with Qin Shi by her side, the beautiful scenery gradually diluted the matter.
"Boss, hey, where are you going? Can you give me some clues?"
"Didn't I tell you to escort the convoy? You still don't believe me!"
"...I don't believe you." Wanli muttered as he drove, stopping and starting along the way, and finally arrived at Xiamen Port.
Xiamen Port is across the sea from Danggui Province. It is also the closest place to Danggui Province. The flourishing tourism industry has made this city very rich, and there are a large number of import and export projects, which makes many people think that Xiamen Port is the capital of Fujian Province.
"Boss, the location will be sent to you at 8pm three days later!"
"Got it, see you then!"
After receiving the news from Humadu, Qin Shi was very happy. He had finally completed what he promised to Mr. Ren. With this lithography machine, China's technology could soar and the progress would be greatly accelerated.
Don't underestimate a photolithography machine. There are more than 100,000 precision components inside it, which basically covers the top technology and manufacturing of various countries in the world. It is not something that one country can accomplish independently.
But these things have been strangling China's neck. If we want to make chips, especially high-end chips, we can only seek help from foreign countries and let them manufacture them for us.
China, known as the world's second-largest economy, was even boasted by some as a mythical speed. But Qin Shi knew that everything had to be viewed objectively. China indeed had many areas where it far surpassed other countries: electricity, infrastructure, agriculture, and even wireless communications.
However, the world's industries vary greatly. As technology advances, whoever masters more technology will be the ultimate winner. For example, in the field of satellites, although China currently ranks second in the world in terms of the number of satellites, it is still far behind the first-place United States.
Otherwise, Qin Shi would not have troubled Congress because of the satellite issue, nor would other problems have been involved because of money.
The difficulty of a photolithography machine lies not in its overall technology, but in the individual parts it needs, all of which are cutting-edge products from various industries.
Foreign powers may relax on other things, but China must never master the technology of lithography machines. This is something that all powers are watching. But this time, Qin Shi secretly transported a lithography machine back to China!
"Wanli, six trucks are needed at the dock in three days. We have six containers to be shipped to Hangzhou. This is confidential, so the vehicles and drivers will be transferred from the local military!"
"Don't worry, boss, I'll arrange it right away!"
Wan Li has a dual identity. He is a member of the Congressional Investigation Team, Qin Shi’s right-hand man, and also a special existence in the Ministry of National Defense. If he wants to use a vehicle for a small matter, he can easily solve it by making a phone call!
Just when Qin Shi was filled with joy, Humadu called again, sounding very anxious.
"Team Leader, I'm with the captain right now. According to the Hong Gang, there are unidentified vessels lingering in the South China Sea area where our route must pass. This is very unusual!"
"Very abnormal? What does that mean? Has he been discovered?" Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat!
"I'm not sure, but they definitely don't know what's on our ship. Logically, there shouldn't be so many ships on this route. The captain suspects they might be pirates."
"Pirates? Is that such a coincidence?"
"This is just a preliminary guess. Pirates are rampant in South Asia. The problem is, pirates usually give the Hong Gang a pass. But this time, things are a little strange. We can't find who's behind the scenes. We'll reach that area in a few hours!"
"Slow down, I'll make the arrangements! Keep in touch!"
Qin Shi's face looked unhappy. He had taken great pains to secretly transport the things back to the country, but something unexpected happened just as they were about to reach the border!
"Minister Liu, it's Qin Shi!" Qin Shi called Liu Jianguo directly.
"I have a cargo ship that may be targeted by foreign forces!"
"We are not sure of their identity right now. They could be pirates or some other group in disguise. We need help!"
"Don't worry about what it is. This is the lifeblood of our country, and we can't make any mistakes!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your news!"
Since there is danger, he can only ask the army for help. Qin Shi dare not take any risk in this matter.
In less than half an hour, an aircraft carrier and its escort fleet departed directly from the nearest port of Xiamen. All the information and contacts had been sent to Wan Li's mobile phone.
"Boss, what's going on? The Ministry of National Defense just informed me that the aircraft carrier has departed. What's so serious that even the navy is being dispatched?"
"Humadu's ship might be targeted!"
"Old Hu has been targeted. Who is he? Is he a pirate?"
"It would be great if they were pirates, but I'm afraid someone else is causing this! Keep an eye on the navy and make sure Lao Hu and everything on the ship is safe."
"Things? What's so expensive?"
"Don't ask, nothing can go wrong!"
"Okay, don't worry, Boss! The aircraft carrier has been dispatched this time, and the drones have already set off. Lao Hu will be fine!"
