To Pay Off My Credit Card, I Mortgaged Lithography Technology

Your credit card bill will be overdue in three days. Please make your payment promptly!

He Hao spent all his savings developing lithography technology and even maxed out his credit cards.

Now not only was the project about to be halted, he might also end up blacklisted as a debtor.

To pay off his debt, he chose to use his lithography technology as collateral.

Before long, a question appeared online:

"Quick question: how much can I borrow by putting lithography technology up as collateral?"

Netizens joked about it like it was a meme:

"What happened to the person who posted this? Are they being this careful even in their dreams?"

But when the technology was presented to the academicians at the Long Science Academy,

everyone was stunned. The technology was real!

"You invented lithography technology just to pay off your credit card?"

the academicians asked, dumbfounded.

"Qinglian, we can't afford this technology. Here's a check. Fill in whatever amount you want."

The bank president handed He Hao a checkbook and fountain pen with both hands.

Several months later, a 1-nanometer lithography machine, ten years ahead of the rest of the world, was born.
