Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

As the thought crossed his mind, a light blue panel instantly appeared before Su Chen's eyes.

"I wonder what good stuff I'll get from this month's blind boxes." Su Chen thought to himself as he looked at the blind boxes on the system panel.

The blind box had a row of numbers on it. Su Chen counted them and found there were eight zeros. He thought to himself, "Wow, even Rongcheng wouldn't dare to compare to this number of zeros."

"Five hundred million?" Su Chen muttered under his breath, stroking his chin. "Looks like this month's blind boxes are a bit more than you think!"

Without thinking twice, he immediately bought all the blind boxes for the month. He found the blind boxes in the warehouse and silently said to the system, "System, open the blind boxes!"

"Ding~"

"Open the blind box, congratulations host, you have obtained the complete set of equipment technology for Project Nantianmen!"

"The Southern Heavenly Gate Project?!" Upon hearing the system's voice, Su Chen suddenly sat up in bed, his face filled with shock.

The South Heaven Gate Project is familiar not only to Su Chen but also to many netizens. It was a video that was suddenly released online by the authorities a couple of years ago, showcasing various new concept weapon systems.

Examples include the "Luan Bird" space carrier, electromagnetic weapons, particle accelerators, ion beam weapons, and other similar weapons such as the Xuan Nu space fighter, the Cheng Ying mecha, and the Bai Di drone.

At the time, the plan caused quite a stir online, with many people believing that with the country's strength, it would definitely be able to develop these conceptual weapons, and all that was lacking was time.

In the past, Su Chen would have had the same thought, but after he came into contact with advanced technology, he realized that with the current technology in China, the most that could be achieved was in electromagnetic weapons and White Emperor drones.

It's not that Su Chen looks down on domestic scientific research and technology, but rather that he is well aware of the enormous technological barriers behind these advanced technologies—from materials science to energy supply, from quantum computing to artificial intelligence control systems, each of which is an insurmountable chasm between reality and fantasy!

Su Chen took several deep breaths to suppress his excitement. "System, are you sure this is the complete technology of the Southern Heavenly Gate Project? Including all the subsystems?"

After saying that, Su Chen immediately held his breath, waiting for the system's answer!
"Ding~"

A system voice sounded, and the system panel flickered twice before a list of subtitles resembling a directory appeared on the panel, which introduced all the technologies of the Nantianmen Project that Su Chen had signed in for!

"Structural blueprints for the Luan Bird Space Carrier!"

"The anti-gravity engine principle of the Xuan Nu fighter jet!"

"50 core technologies, including the Chengying Mecha Neural Connection Operating System!"

Su Chen spent several minutes scrolling through the technical catalogs before he could barely finish reading them. He did a quick mental calculation and found that there were nearly a thousand catalogs in total, not including the sub-catalogs.

Looking at the USB drives containing information about the Nantianmen Project stored in the system's inventory, Su Chen could no longer contain his excitement, and even his breathing became heavy!

"This system is really powerful!" Su Chen suddenly jumped out of bed and quickly took off his clothes. He needed to calm down, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Splash splash ...

Many of the technologies involved in the South Heavenly Gate Project are not difficult for Su Chen to implement!
Take the Chengying mecha as an example. Its most important technologies are nothing more than artificial intelligence, neural network operating system, and new alloy materials. Once these technologies are mastered, the prototype of the Chengying mecha will be a piece of cake.

Currently, Su Chen already possesses a mature artificial intelligence system and new alloy materials. As long as he thoroughly understands the neural connection operating system, manufacturing the Cheng Ying mecha is only a matter of time.

As for the power source, if we are to research the Cheng Ying mech's own power source, we can consider first researching a miniature controlled nuclear fusion reactor as an energy source. This energy source can also be used in the Xuan Nu fighter jet and the Luan Niao space carrier, which can greatly save time in subsequent research.

"However, what should we do with these things? Should we keep them for our own research, or should we cooperate with those above us?"

The technologies involved in the entire Nantianmen Project can be applied not only to the military but also to the private sector.

Su Chen quickly made a decision: he would start researching it himself. His superiors had previously asked him to get involved in the arms industry, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to establish his own military industrial group.

Thinking of this, Su Chen turned off the shower, dried himself off, and lay back down on the bed, staring intently at the technical data in the system's inventory.

"If all these technologies were revealed at once, there would be no peace in the future!" Su Chen hadn't forgotten the spy incident on Zheng Island, which served as a lesson for him; he had to be careful in everything he did.

He rubbed his chin with his right hand, quickly formulating a plan in his mind, preparing to select a few low-threshold, not-so-outlandish technologies as a breakthrough point.

Su Chen's gaze naturally fell on the catalog called "White Emperor Drone". Currently, major countries around the world are involved in supersonic stealth drones, so if this technology were to be presented, it wouldn't attract too much attention.

Thinking of this, Su Chen opened the subdirectory of the Baidi UAV, and immediately a related introduction to the Baidi UAV and the many technologies involved in it popped up.

Su Chen glanced at it briefly and was immediately drawn to two technologies: "stealth skin technology and oblique detonation engine technology," which immediately caught his eye.

If Su Chen remembered correctly, detonation engines are currently only found in top aviation laboratories around the world, as they are hailed as the pinnacle of future aviation power technology.

It can be said that mastering the detonation engine technology is the first step into the threshold of the seventh generation of fighter jets. It is not something that can be successfully developed in a year or two.

It's important to know that what's currently popular is only fifth-generation fighter jets; countries are still working hard on research and development of sixth-generation fighter jets, and when they will be unveiled is still unknown.

Su Chen glanced at the introduction to the oblique detonation engine in the system's subdirectory and exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, the oblique detonation engine technology provided by the system can reach a maximum speed of Mach 20!"

Take the most advanced engine of the Bald Eagle's F-22 as an example. It can only reach a cruising speed of Mach 2 at most. Compared with the engine of the Bald Eagle's drone, there is no comparison at all. It is simply a complete blowout!

As for the stealth skin technology, the system shows that it is a new type of stealth coating based on metamaterials, which is a level more advanced than the most advanced coatings in the world.

"Let's start with this!" Su Chen looked at the introduction of the White Emperor drone and waved his right hand excitedly in the air. As for the Cheng Ying mecha he had thought of before, he could only let it lie in the system warehouse for a while longer, and take it out when the time was right.

"It seems that we need to set up the quantum computer after we get back this time, otherwise it will greatly delay the progress of our research!"

He worried that even if his team were all experts in the field, it would take them six months to a year to fully understand the data if they relied solely on the ordinary computers at the Zhengdao research base. However, with quantum computers, the time could be greatly saved.

Having figured out the next steps, Su Chen felt much more relaxed, but a wave of weariness washed over him instantly. He yawned and fell asleep immediately.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

With a crisp knock on the door, Chen Fei's voice came from outside: "Sir, get up!" Su Chen opened his slightly groggy eyes, fumbled around on the bed for a while before finding his phone. He turned it on and saw that it was already 8:10 in the morning, less than 50 minutes before he was supposed to leave.

She quickly sat up in bed, responded "I'm up" towards the door, and then got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After washing up and changing into shorts and a t-shirt, he went out of the room and found that Chen Yao and the other two were already sitting at the dining table with a lot of breakfast on it, obviously waiting for him to come out and have breakfast.

"You guys eat by yourselves, you don't have to wait for me!" Su Chen yawned and walked to an empty seat to sit down.

"Without you, Young Master Su, who would dare to eat breakfast?" Chen Yao said with a smile, pushing a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, specially made by the hotel, in front of Su Chen. Looking at the weariness on Su Chen's face, he asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Slurp~" Su Chen took a sip of the congee with preserved egg and lean pork, then shook his head slightly and said, "I slept pretty well last night, but I was thinking about things a little late!"

Chen Yao nodded upon hearing this and didn't press the matter further. He picked up his spoon and began eating his breakfast. Meanwhile, Chen Fei and You Ling were focused on eating their breakfast, seemingly oblivious to Su Chen and Chen Yao's conversation.

After finishing breakfast, it was already 8:40 in the morning. Su Chen and his group did not linger at the hotel for long. They packed their things and left the hotel.

As Su Chen and his group stepped out of the hotel, they were immediately captivated by the scenery before them.

In front of the hotel, besides the beach, there was the boundless sea, which looked exceptionally refreshing against the backdrop of the azure sky.

"No wonder Hawaii is so popular with tourists. With beaches and scenery like this, I would love to lie on a beach chair all day!" Chen Yao said with some emotion as he looked at the scenery in front of him.

Despite his illustrious family background, he has hardly ever traveled abroad. Whenever he goes abroad, it's usually to handle some business; he's never had a proper vacation.

Su Chen put his arm around Chen Yao's shoulder and whispered, "After we're done with this, let's relax here for a few days. If Grandpa asks, just say we haven't finished dealing with things yet."

"If all else fails, just pretend you didn't receive the message from China, and if you ask, just say the signal is bad!" Su Chen couldn't help but laugh at the end of his sentence.

Chen Yao glared at Su Chen, then sighed helplessly, "Hey~ do you think I'm like you, able to do whatever I want? If I don't work hard, I'll just have to accept my family's arrangements!"

Su Chen naturally understood what it meant to accept his family's arrangements. Don't be fooled by Chen Yao and the others' glamorous appearance; they actually had a lot of hardships behind the scenes. Just as he said, if they didn't make something of themselves, they might become marriage partners between families.

This is no joke. The more prestigious the family or enterprise, the more likely they are to secure their future through marriage alliances.

Just like the widely circulated stories online about the son of Seven Wolves and the daughter of Xtep, this can be seen as an "unspoken rule" among large companies!
There's no such thing as a Prince Charming falling in love with a pure, innocent girl fresh out of school; it's just a fantasy of those who want to marry into wealth.

He patted Chen Yao's shoulder gently, then changed the subject, saying, "Let's go, it's getting late!"

Upon hearing this, Ghost waved to a nearby car, and several luxury cars immediately drove up. After Su Chen and his group got into the cars, the convoy quickly left the hotel.

The marina they went to wasn't far from the hotel; it was located at the end of Waikiki Beach and was the only yacht marina in the area.

Many people, like Su Chen and his group, were preparing to go out to sea. However, most of them were accompanied by a number of beautiful women. A pure "boy band" like Su Chen and his group was truly rare and attracted the attention of many tourists.

However, when they saw Su Chen and his group board the largest luxury cruise ship at the yacht marina, all their curious gazes were withdrawn. People who could own a yacht of this caliber, even if it was rented, were not people that ordinary tourists like them could afford to offend.

As soon as Su Chen boarded the yacht, he saw several of Ghost's men go straight into the cockpit.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Ghost explained first, "Sir, just in case, the boat is being driven by our own people. After we get you to your destination, they'll take the yacht around to other places."

Su Chen nodded slightly with a dignified air, said nothing, and then, after greeting Chen Yao, walked towards the sofa area on the bridge.

The yacht slowly sailed away from the dock. The azure sea shimmered under the sunlight, and the salty sea breeze caressed one's face, giving one a sense of exhilaration.

After the yacht had been sailing for about an hour, Honolulu had long since disappeared from sight, and even the coastline had vanished. The surrounding calm sea was a deep blue color.

As the yacht slowly came to a stop, Su Chen subconsciously looked around and found no trace of any ships in the nearby waters. He couldn't help but look at the ghost beside him and ask, "Have we arrived at our destination? Hasn't the ship that was supposed to pick us up arrived yet?"

The ghost didn't respond immediately. Instead, it stood up, took out something resembling a satellite phone, fiddled with it for a while, looked around at the sea, and then said mysteriously, "BOSS~ the ship that's there to pick us up has arrived!"

"arrive?"

Su Chen and Chen Yao immediately stood up, leaned on the railing, and looked around. They found that, just like before, there was nothing on the sea.

Just as Su Chen and the others were wondering where the ship was, ripples appeared on the originally calm sea, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Su Chen and Chen Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

"Gulp~" Chen Yao swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the sea, where the ripples were gradually expanding.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the water. A jet-black submarine, like a deep-sea monster, surfaced, its streamlined hull gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight!
The appearance of the submarine instantly ignited excitement among the people on the yacht. Those who had come from China with Su Chen all leaned on the railings and exclaimed in surprise, after all, they had never seen such a thing up close before.

"Holy crap~ Ghost, the support ship you mentioned isn't this thing, is it?" Su Chen pointed at the submarine in front of him, his voice trembling slightly, not from nervousness, but from excitement!
How could Su Chen not be excited to be so close to a submarine for the first time!

Seeing his boss's excited expression, Ghost chuckled, his face full of smugness.

"BOSS~ This is the submarine we found on the island. Although it's twenty years old, its performance is still very advanced!"

"I discussed it with the skeleton, and we thought we'd give you a surprise, BOSS!"

Hearing this, Su Chen patted Ghost's shoulder with great satisfaction and said with a smile, "I like this surprise. Come on, take us upstairs to have a look!"

Led by the ghost, the group quickly boarded the submarine. The elite guards from China turned into curious children, squatting on the submarine and looking around.

Even the three people who were with Chen Yao were no exception, all with curious expressions on their faces.

After looking around from the submarine, Su Chen and his group went directly inside.

As the hatch slowly closed, the submarine gradually submerged into the sea, disappearing from the surface in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed except for the ripples that followed. (End of Chapter)
