The entire industry was looking for the research team that came up with the carbon-based chips. On the other hand, the Ministry of State Security already spoke with Professor Wu's team on keeping this confidential. The 20 million yuan bonus from the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was also given to the researchers.
Of course, due to confidentiality reasons, the 20 million yuan bonus was given in a low-key manner. Lu Zhou felt quite unfortunate about this.
The whole reason for him giving out this hefty bonus was to motivate the other research departments.
But then he realized that this didn't matter.
Such a large bonus amount was difficult to hide. Even if the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study didn't explain what was going on, anyone could guess the reason behind the bonus.
Before China completed its industrialization plan for the carbon-based chips, they had to keep this all confidential.
