In order to help the Secretary of Defense get out of the current predicament, Hunt could only take the risk of interjecting.

"Mr. President, in fact, we may still have a chance to save this matter."

This sentence attracted the attention of the Minister of Finance, who originally wanted to use this opportunity to oust the Minister of Defense from this position, because over the years, the Minister of Finance has indeed burned too much money, and every time it has not played a role, so he has long looked at the Minister of Defense as unpleasant.

"This is a high-level meeting of the Eagle Sauce Country, although you are a senior R&D personnel of Deep Blue Company, I don't think you have the qualifications to speak." The Minister of Finance said coldly.

But this sentence aroused the curiosity of the president.

He asked, "What can you do, might as well say it and let us hear it." ”

At this time, the defense minister's eyes were immediately filled with hope again, and he hoped that Hunt's next words would save his life.

Hunter said: "I don't know if you have noticed, although the Great Xia Kingdom has installed a laser emitting device on the deck of the aircraft carrier, they have not modified their own power system. ”

Everyone looked puzzled, but at the same time, they also realized that this was indeed a strange thing.

The president nodded and continued, "So what do you suspect is the reason for this?" ”

Hunter continued: "The laser emitting device of the Great Xia Kingdom is a mature technology, and it is understandable to install this device on the spaceship, but it is not in the order of transforming a spaceship. ”

One of them immediately asked, "So you mean that the modification of a ship should start with the power system?" ”

"Yes, that's right, if you want this behemoth to take off, the power system must be the top priority, and it is common sense to start with the power system to transform it, so I think that although the Great Xia Kingdom now has the super fuel of the purple element, they should not have developed an engine that can use this fuel."

The Minister of Defense also suddenly realized what Hunter wanted to say at this time, and the expression on his face that was still decadent just now disappeared at this time.

He glanced at Hunter with a twinkle in his eyes, and then continued Hunter's words, "This may be an opportunity for us to get the purple element." ”

Hunter heard this and nodded.

But everyone here was confused, and they didn't know what these two people were thinking about.

The Minister of Finance scoffed, "Don't be kidding, the purple element is now like a national treasure to the Great Xia Kingdom, how could they give it to us so easily." ”

"We can change it, with our engine technology."

The defense minister's remarks caused a heated discussion among those present.

Some people are nodding their heads to indicate that this is an opportunity, while others are shaking their heads to indicate that this is simply impossible.

The president watched it for a long time, but he didn't find that these people could talk about being ugly.

So he slapped the table and silenced everyone.

He asked the Minister of Defense, "Why can you guarantee that their Great Xia Kingdom is willing to exchange with us?" ”

The Minister of Defense said seriously: "Mr. President, I can't guarantee it 100%, but I know that our Eagle Sauce Country has the best engine technology in the world, even if the Great Xia Country has the purple element, if they want to modify their aircraft carrier, then this engine technology alone, they may spend several years to develop." ”

The Minister of Finance immediately denied: "Don't forget, the Great Xia Kingdom has a genius like Lu Chuan, and the ghost knows how soon they will be able to develop the engine they need." ”

Hunt shook his head and said he didn't agree with the finance minister.

"Mr. Minister, you may not know, I also admit that Lu Chuan of the Great Xia Kingdom is a genius, but the aero engine is not something that can be developed by one person, and the engine of our Eagle Sauce Country is also the hard work of countless people for many years, so I am very sure that even if Lu Chuan can develop an engine that can bring the aircraft carrier into the sky, it must be a very long process."

Hearing Hunt's words, the Minister of Defense immediately began to observe the expressions on the faces of the people around him.

He found that most of the people in the room seemed to agree with Hunt's idea.

So he struck while the iron was hot, although the president said: "Mr. President, I think this is a golden opportunity, we should immediately send people to the Great Xia Kingdom to negotiate this matter, if we can get the purple element, then we can immediately let our scientific researchers analyze this element, I think since even the Great Xia Kingdom can produce this element, then our Eagle Sauce Country must also be able to make it." ”

Hunter echoed: "The reason why we can't synthesize the purple element now is because we don't even know anything about the molecular structure of this element, if we can get a sample of the purple element, with the scientific and technological level of our Eagle Sauce Country, I believe it is very likely to mass-produce this element." ”

Not only the president, but everyone here knows what this super fuel of purple means to a country, and they certainly dream of having it.

But at the same time, they are also worried that this is a risky business.

The Minister of Finance, who thinks about money in everything, was the first to reject the idea at this time.

He said: "You have to know how much manpower and material resources our engine technology has taken to develop, if we just give this technology to the Great Xia Kingdom so easily, then how many detours will they take, and even if we can get some purple elements, what if we can't mass produce it at that time?" ”

The Minister of Defense is already like a gambler at this time, and he can't care about it so much, because he doesn't have much capital, and he just wants to get the purple element first.

So he kicked Hunter under the table and motioned for him to speak.

Hunt, of course, knew that he was the only scientist in the room, and that he was the only one who spoke the most convincing to the president.

But at the same time, he also knew in his heart that if he persuaded the president at this time, then from this moment on, he and the Minister of Defense would be grasshoppers on the same rope.

After much deliberation, Hunter finally said to the president: "I would like to believe that the scientific research strength of our Eagle Sauce Country is far above that of the Great Xia Kingdom, and I also believe that the purple element they developed is just a coincidence, as long as we have a sample of the purple element, then our Eagle Sauce Country will definitely be able to mass-produce this element in a steady stream." ”

So, the president immediately agreed to the proposal of the two of them and prepared to send someone to the Great Xia Kingdom to negotiate.

But they didn't realize it at this time, they really underestimated the purple element.
