Zheng Zhi's words silenced the entire laboratory.
Everyone fell silent.
Not to mention Zheng Zhi, even Yu Da, Li Xuekai, and the three directors knew that this project was too difficult.
China was many years behind in this technology, and it was not something that could be caught up with within a short period of time. Moreover, the other countries monopolized this technology, and they did not even share any relevant information. That made it even more difficult for them.
Had China not chased after this technology all these years?
Of course they did.
But could they catch up?
They were still five years away from doing that.
Moreover, foreign light source machines were made by several high-tech countries. What did it mean to have a few countries cooperating?
The cooperation between Huaxia University and Huazhong University was simply incomparable.
Hence, no one had any expectations for this project.
