Chapter 43
Nine Bronze Chests

“Hahaha…”

“After all these years, the favor of the goddess of fortune has finally fallen upon me.”

In the deep darkness of the prize pool space, Tai Hao stood alone on the platform, looking at the countless silver and gold treasure chests suspended in front of him, unable to contain his excitement, he burst into laughter.

Nine bronze chests, seven silver chests, and four gold chests.

This twenty consecutive draws was simply a huge burst of luck!

Forcing himself to suppress his overwhelming joy, Tai Hao couldn't wait to open the chests.

As per usual, Tai Hao opened the bronze chests first, and this time, he opened them all at once.

As nine streaks of green light bloomed, the nine chests were opened according to Tai Hao's will.

“Let's see what the first chest holds!”

Tai Hao focused his gaze on the first bronze chest, and in an instant, the information about the prize appeared in his mind.

Tai Hao's eyes were filled with disdain; “It's this thing, it would have been worth researching a few decades ago.

The first bronze chest contained the famous B2 Spirit strategic stealth bomber from his previous life.

The B2 strategic stealth bomber, featuring a flying wing layout, abandoned horizontal and vertical tails, its shape resembling an alien artifact, full of sci-fi elements.

After more than thirty years of service, it remains the world's most advanced and only strategic bomber with stealth capabilities.

“Priced over 2.6 billion US dollars, equivalent to 2 to 3 times the weight in gold. It's truly a luxurious toy.”

Putting the chest away, Tai Hao turned his attention to the next chest.

The prize in the second bronze chest made Tai Hao raise an eyebrow.

The Beidou Satellite Navigation System. Including the Beidou-1 system (regional), Beidou-2 system (Asia-Pacific), and Beidou-3 system (global), it is composed of 58 satellites of different types and orbits. It includes geosynchronous orbits, geostationary orbits, and medium earth orbits.

The Beidou system consists of a space segment, ground segment, and user segment, and it provides global users with all-weather, all-time, high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing services.

It also features satellite-based augmentation, ground-based augmentation, precise single-point positioning, short message communication, and international search and rescue capabilities, making it an important national time-space infrastructure.

With a tinge of regret, Tai Hao put the chest away and continued to examine the next one.

The third bronze chest contained technical data for intelligent industrial robots.

This technical data included all types of industrial robots from Tai Hao's previous life, along with AI algorithms.

It covered industrial processing, precision model manufacturing, materials transportation and handling, and more.

Tai Hao placed great importance on this technical data, as it was one of the pieces of the puzzle for the empire's transition to an intelligent age.

The fourth bronze chest opened to reveal a behemoth.

The Ford-class aircraft carrier.

With a displacement of 100,000 tons, it was 337 meters long, 78 meters wide, and had a deck area of 20,000 square meters, equivalent to the size of three football fields.

“This carrier's electromagnetic propulsion system, electric propulsion system, and nuclear reactor technology are worth studying for the empire.”

While a behemoth with a full load displacement exceeding 120,000 tons, Tai Hao didn't pay too much attention, because the empire didn't lack mobile firepower platforms on the sea at present.

The fifth bronze chest was then opened.

Quantum computer technology.

Quantum computers are designed based on the principles of quantum mechanics.

A complex system that utilizes quantum mechanics to perform logic and mathematical operations, process and store information.

Quantum computers differ from traditional computers in that the objects used to store data are qubits, and quantum algorithms are used to manipulate the data.

They are primarily characterized by their faster speed, stronger information processing capabilities, and broader application scope.

In processing certain specific problems, they are hundreds of billions of times faster than traditional supercomputers, even reaching trillions of times faster, their computational speed is terrifyingly fast.

However, this technical data was still in the primitive stage of quantum computers, similar to the early days of classic computers in the 1950s. There's a long way to go before quantum computers can be widely adopted and used.

The sixth bronze chest contained three fighter jets.

F35, nicknamed Lightning, with three models: F35A, F35B, and F35C.

The three models are divided into vertical take-off and landing, short takeoff and landing, and carrier-based catapult launch.

Tai Hao opened all three models of the F35 at once.

The seventh bronze chest opened to reveal another set of technical data.

Electromagnetic cannon technology.

This technical data package included four development directions for electromagnetic cannons.

These are coil guns, railguns, melt guns, and re-entry guns.

The basic principle of electromagnetic cannons is to use tremendous electromagnetic force to convert into kinetic energy to accelerate a projectile, propelling it at high speed towards a target.

When the projectile strikes the target, the enormous kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, and the molten steel fragments produce a destructive effect similar to an explosion.

Additionally, electromagnetic cannons can also create a disruptive electromagnetic environment in specific areas or around targets, damaging or interfering with enemy electronic equipment.

The eighth bronze chest also contained technical data: Supercomputer (cutting-edge) manufacturing technology.

The cutting-edge supercomputer, the first E-class supercomputer system launched by America. It achieved a peak performance of 110.2 billion billion operations per second.

Supercomputers are a type of general-purpose computing power, designed to provide complete and complex computational capabilities, with stronger high-precision computing capabilities and broader applications.

For example, they can simulate nuclear explosions, the Big Bang, the evolution and orbit of planets, the development of new materials, molecular drug design, gene analysis, and other scientific computing and big data processing.

In the scientific community, supercomputers are also known as technical accelerators, playing a significant role.

After reviewing the cutting-edge supercomputer manufacturing technology, Tai Hao recalled the empire's current supercomputer performance.

The empire's current supercomputer floating-point operation speed had just surpassed 1 trillion operations per second.

“A difference of tens of thousands of times. Too much!”

Tai Hao sighed, then turned his attention to the ninth bronze chest.

“Hey, good luck, now all the technical challenges for building supercomputers are solved!

The ninth bronze chest contained the chip production group production and processing manufacturing technology.

This included manufacturing techniques for equipment like wafers, cleaning, oxidation diffusion, thin-film deposition, lithography, photoresist coating, etching, ion implantation, polishing, and inspection.

This chip production technology had reached a 3-nanometer scale, nearing the limit of traditional chips.
