Following the live demonstration, Michael and Juliet were inundated with interview requests and partnership inquiries from major corporations and research institutions worldwide. The excitement around the quantum processor was reaching a fever pitch, and everyone wanted a piece of the action.

Michael's calendar filled up rapidly with meetings and presentations. He and Juliet worked tirelessly to manage the flood of interest, ensuring they made strategic decisions about potential partnerships and collaborations.

But on May 30th, 2030. There was a call that Micahel didn't expect. It was from President Salcedo.

"Yes…Mrs. President?"

"I want you to come to the Malacanang Palace. We are going to discuss about the potential implications of your quantum processor on national security."

Michael felt a jolt of surprise. "Of course, Mrs. President. I'll be there right away."

As Michael hung up the phone, Juliet looked at him with concern. "What did she say?"

"She wants to discuss the national security implications of our quantum processor. I'm heading to the Malacanang Palace," Michael replied, already standing up and grabbing his coat.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Juliet asked.

Michael paused for a moment, considering Juliet's offer. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea," he said.

Juliet nodded and quickly gathered her things. Together, they headed to the Malacanang Palace, the official residence and workplace of the President of the Philippines. Upon arriving at the palace, they were greeted by a team of security personnel and escorted to the President's office.

"Mrs. President, it's been a while since we last met," Michael said, extending his hand as they entered the room.

President Salcedo stood up and shook his hand firmly. "Indeed, Michael. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Please, have a seat."

Michael and Juliet took their seats across from the President.

"I'll get straight to the point," President Salcedo began. "Your quantum processor represents a significant technological advancement. While its potential benefits are immense, we must also consider the national security implications. We need to ensure that this technology does not fall into the wrong hands and is used responsibly."

Michael nodded. "I understand, Mrs. President. We have already implemented stringent security measures to safeguard our technology, but we are open to further collaboration with the government to ensure its safety."

"I want to ask questions about its military uses," President Salcedo said, her expression serious.

"Of course," Michael replied. "The quantum processor can significantly enhance military capabilities in several ways. For instance, it can be used for real-time data analysis, which is crucial for intelligence gathering and threat assessment.

Imagine being able to process satellite images, communications intercepts, and other data streams in real-time to identify potential threats and respond accordingly."

President Salcedo nodded, indicating she was following. "Go on."

"Another application is in cryptography," Michael continued. "Quantum computing can break traditional encryption methods, but it also enables the creation of virtually unbreakable quantum encryption. This could secure our military communications and protect sensitive information from cyber-attacks."

"That sounds promising," President Salcedo said. "What about something offensive?"

"Offensively, the quantum processor can significantly improve the precision and efficiency of our weapon systems. For example, it can enhance targeting algorithms for missile systems, allowing for more accurate strikes with minimal collateral damage. The processor's ability to analyze and predict enemy movements in real-time can give us a strategic advantage in combat scenarios."

President Salcedo leaned forward, her interest clearly piqued. "Can it hack?"

Michael paused, considering how best to frame his response. "Technically, yes," he said. "The quantum processor's immense computational power can break most existing encryption protocols. This capability could be used to infiltrate enemy communications and information systems."

"That's interesting," Salcedo said with a satisfied smile.

"So that's what you are looking for huh? Something that can be hacked. What are you planning on hacking anyways?"

President Salcedo's smile faded, replaced by a serious expression. "It's not about wanting to hack, Michael. It's about being prepared. In today's world, cyber warfare is a very real threat. Our adversaries are constantly trying to penetrate our defenses and gather intelligence. We need to have the capability to defend ourselves and, if necessary, strike back.

After all, in this day and age, its not about who has the bigger stick anymore, but who has the best software to wield it."

"I see your point, Mrs. President. The quantum processor can indeed be a powerful tool in cyber defense and offense. But of course, everything has its price."

"How much?" Salcedo asked without hesitation.

"Well, Mrs. President, pricing such advanced technology is complex. But if I am going to price it, I am going to say it would be in the range of several billion dollars, considering the development costs, the strategic value, and the exclusivity of such a powerful tool. Additionally, we would need to factor in the cost of ongoing support and updates to maintain its cutting-edge capabilities."

Salcedo was shocked to hear the price. "That's too much."

"Well that is much," Michael already expected the reaction. "But let's not forget, Mrs. President, that this isn't just any piece of technology. It's a game-changer. The strategic advantages alone justify the investment. Besides, we can explore various financing options, partnerships, and perhaps even phased payments to make it more feasible for the government."

President Salcedo leaned back in her chair, contemplating the proposal. "I understand the value, Michael. But we need to ensure this investment is not only justified but also sustainable. The national budget has its constraints, and we must be prudent in our expenditures."

Michael nodded. "Of course. We can also consider the broader economic benefits. By collaborating with Reyes Corporation, we could foster a technology hub within the country, attract foreign investments, and create high-tech jobs."

Juliet added, "Moreover, integrating this technology into our defense systems will position us as a leader in quantum computing. It will send a strong message to our allies and adversaries about our technological prowess and commitment to securing our nation's future."

President Salcedo appeared to be weighing her options. "You've made compelling arguments. Let's proceed with a detailed proposal. Outline the financial aspects, potential partnerships, and the broader economic impact. I'll present it to my cabinet and the appropriate committees. We need to move quickly but carefully."

Michael and Juliet exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "Thank you, Mrs. President. We'll have the proposal ready within the week," Michael said.

As they left the palace, Michael turned to Juliet. "This is just the start because I'm sure Uncle Sam is going to pay us a visit about the quantum processor too."

"And you are going to give it to them?" Juliet asked.

Michael shook his head. "Nope, I won't. It's time that we have a stick of our own."
