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

"An engine! It really is an engine!" Chen Yao exclaimed in surprise as soon as he spotted the conspicuous presence in the warehouse.

He immediately jogged over to the engine and began to examine it carefully on the metal frame. After he had thoroughly studied the engine, he stood there in shock, muttering, "Impossible, how is this possible? Isn't this still in the theoretical stage?"

As soon as Su Chen walked over, before he could even speak, Chen Yao excitedly put his arm around his shoulder, pointed at the engine in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "We've hit the jackpot! Old Su, we've hit the jackpot this time! Do you know what this engine is?"

Before Su Chen could react, Chen Yao muttered to himself, "This is a detonation engine, a detonation engine! This is something that can change the future of aviation. However, the one in front of us looks like a prototype that has just been made in a laboratory. It's not perfect yet."

As Wang Lao's student, he has a keen eye for detail. Moreover, during his observation, he noticed that there were some malfunctions in the engine. He figured that the B21 bomber's accident during the test flight was due to an engine problem.

"I had only heard about the theory of knock engines from my teacher before. He said that future sixth and seventh generation fighter jets would need this engine to be realized. At the time, I thought my teacher was just bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"If I were to send him a video, the teacher would probably be so excited he'd want to fly over right away!"

In the end, Chen Yao burst into laughter, as if he could already see his teacher, Old Wang, losing his composure.

Looking at Chen Yao, who seemed somewhat out of his mind, Su Chen shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, researchers are all a bit crazy; they get incredibly excited when they see these advanced technologies.

If Chen Yao knew that he had a fully mature tilt detonation engine, he would be so excited that he would faint!

"Shoot a video? You're not planning to send it to your teacher using the green bubble, are you?" While Su Chen was still pondering this, he suddenly noticed Chen Yao taking out his phone from his pocket and starting to film the engine.

This operation immediately stumped Su Chen. If he sent it out like this, Su Chen was certain that the information would fall into the hands of the Bald Eagle in less than two days, and then their situation would be in trouble.

After all, Su Chen and his group are currently located near the Hawaiian Islands, where there are American military bases. He doesn't want the Americans to send an aircraft carrier to his private island.

Although they are 100 nautical miles from Oahu, where Honolulu is located, it is still within the exclusive economic zone of the Hawaiian Islands, which means they are on the territory of the bald eagle.

If we send it out openly like this, aren't we afraid it will be intercepted? The bald eagle's information surveillance is nothing new; everyone knows that.

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Su Chen's eyes, Chen Yao immediately showed his phone to Su Chen.

Su Chen should have looked away, because once he did, the doubt in his eyes spread to his face. The image on the screen looked exactly like an encrypted channel.

"Hehe~ This is the Beidou system independently developed by our country. Before I came here, I was specially granted special-level access, which is the highest level of access. It is a confidential access that only the highest level can use, which can eliminate any possibility of leakage!" Chen Yao said with a proud look on his face.

Su Chen naturally knew about the BeiDou system, but in his understanding, the BeiDou system's permissions were divided into three levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with Level 1 being the highest and Level 3 the lowest.

Unexpectedly, above the highest level, Level 1, there is a Special Level. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. This operation is very much in line with our country's own development situation. No matter what technology we use, we always keep a backup plan in case of any unforeseen circumstances!
Su Chen nodded, indicating that he understood and signaled him to continue operating. In his heart, however, he was thinking about whether he should apply to Grandpa Xiao to grant the Zhengdao Park first-level access to the Beidou system after returning to China this time, which would greatly improve security.

Northeast, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation Research Center!
Professor Wang, along with several research experts, stood anxiously in front of the quantum computer at the research center, awaiting the computer's calculation results.

The current research being conducted is on the effectiveness of iron in stealth coatings, based on the latest findings from the Institute of Materials Science, to see if any advancements can be made based on existing methods.

Just then, Mr. Wang's cell phone, which was inside his white coat, suddenly rang, instantly breaking the serious atmosphere.

Old Wang frowned slightly and took out his phone with some displeasure. Being disturbed at such a crucial moment would make anyone unhappy.

Standing beside him, materials expert Chen, seeing the change in Wang's expression, chuckled and joked, "Old Wang, take a look! Is this the good news your precious apprentice sent you?"

These words immediately drew laughter from the experts nearby.

The reason they were laughing so happily stemmed from Chen Yao's assignment to Hawaii.

In fact, the moment Grandpa Xiao learned from Su Chen that it was suspected to be the wreckage of a B2 bomber, he immediately made arrangements for the relevant departments to contact the top experts at Shenyang Aircraft Corporation to discuss the matter.

However, when these experts learned of this information, their first reaction was whether the person in charge was drunk and was spouting such nonsense, since they all knew that the Bald Eagle's B-2 bombers could not possibly have been lost overseas.

Even Mr. Wang was skeptical at the time, but coincidentally, Chen Yao, as Mr. Wang's student, also attended the meeting.

Upon hearing Su Chen's name, he immediately stood up and questioned the experts. The reason was very simple: he knew the relationship between Su Chen, Xiao Chen, and Old Master Xiao, and he knew that Su Chen would definitely not joke about such a thing.

Old Wang knew his student's background and knew he wouldn't speak without reason, so the scales in his heart gradually tipped in Chen Yao's favor.

In the end, Chen Yao even took the initiative to apply to Professor Wang to take on the matter. Professor Wang was very bold and, despite the teasing from the other experts, agreed to let Chen Yao go to Hawaii.

"What's so funny? If my student really finds something good over there, you old men won't be allowed to be envious!" Old Wang rolled his eyes at his old partners and then looked at the information on his phone.

However, when he saw the "Special Encrypted Communication" message flashing on the screen, he was stunned. After all, he had experienced many big events, and he quickly came to his senses, his expression showing more anticipation.

Before Chen Yao set off, Old Wang had made an agreement with him that if the wreckage was indeed found to be a B2 bomber, he must report it to him immediately, and the channel would naturally be the Beidou system's top-level access!

The experts nearby noticed the change in Wang Lao's expression and immediately stopped laughing. They all looked at the phone in Wang Lao's hand and asked, "Old Wang, what's going on?"

"Phew~" Old Wang suppressed his emotions, but his voice still carried a hint of excitement. "Xiao Yao sent me a message back, it's top-secret!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards his office. He knew that there were too many people around, and it was important to keep such things confidential.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen and the others looked at each other, completely bewildered. Finally, someone said, "Old Wang just said that Chen Yao sent him a message through a top-secret encrypted channel. Could it be that that kid Chen Yao really discovered something good?"

Everyone present was shrewd enough to immediately realize that Chen Yao's trip to Hawaii seemed to have yielded results, and quite significant ones at that; otherwise, he wouldn't have used a top-level encrypted channel. Thinking this, the experts immediately jogged after Old Wang. Old Chen was just about to follow when a single sentence from one of the experts stopped him: "Old Chen, this is a matter concerning your materials. You stay here and oversee the calculation results!"

Upon hearing this, Old Chen stomped his feet in anger. Several quantum computer staff members nearby lowered their heads and secretly chuckled at the sight.

As soon as Mr. Wang arrived at his office, before he could even close the door, several of his old colleagues filed in and entered his office.

Seeing the curious looks on their faces, Old Wang couldn't help but joke, "What's wrong? You didn't believe there would be any results, so why did you actually come to my office?"

"Hehe~ We're just concerned about Xiao Yao, it's his first time going on a business trip alone!" one of the experts replied with a smile.

The others nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, that's what we meant too!"

Old Wang was immediately amused by his shameless old partners. He shook his head helplessly, picked up his phone, and entered a complex biometric password. Only then did the encrypted channel on the phone screen fully open.

The first message Chen Yao sent was a three-second voice message: "Teacher~ Do you know what I found out?"

Old Wang and the others could clearly sense the excitement in Chen Yao's voice. He must have discovered something shocking, otherwise, given Chen Yao's past, he wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

Before they could speak, another video was sent. Mr. Wang immediately opened the video and showed his phone to the experts.

While everyone was still wondering what good things Chen Yao had discovered, when they saw the engine in the video, they all froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"How is this possible?" Old Wang's hands trembled uncontrollably. Every detail of the engine in the video was clearly visible. As a leading figure in the field of aviation power, he knew the value of this engine better than anyone else.

"Old Wang, is this a knock engine?"

Several gulping sounds came from behind Lao Wang, clearly shocked by the video.

They had planned everything meticulously, but none of them expected Chen Yao to encounter this thing.

"Hmm!" Old Wang nodded heavily, his expression instantly turning serious. "This is indeed a knock engine. This engine should still be in the laboratory stage, but the other side has already taken a big step ahead of us!"

The experts fell silent instantly!
In China, both Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and Chengdu Aircraft Corporation are still in the theoretical stage regarding detonation engines, and they haven't even entered the laboratory yet. But the United States has already entered the laboratory and even reached the finished product stage. How could they not be shocked!
"Old Wang, we must bring this engine back so that we can catch up with Bald Eagle in terms of detonation engines, and even achieve a leapfrog development!" The expert who had previously joked with Old Wang looked at him with an unusually serious expression and said.

Everyone understood just how important this test machine for the knock engine was to them!

"Hoo~" Old Wang took a deep breath, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and immediately picked up the red phone on the table and dialed.

The call went up the chain of command, and soon Old Master Xiao received the call. After listening to the report, he was momentarily stunned, as he had not expected to have such a great discovery.

The initial idea was just to learn some technology from the wreckage of the B-2 bomber, but unexpectedly, there was a twist.

After recovering from the brief silence, he immediately convened a video conference with the heads of several relevant departments and Old Wang to discuss how to transport the experimental machine back!
At this moment, Chen Yao was completely unaware of the huge uproar his video had caused in China; he was currently immersed in research!

After he finished studying the engine, he learned from the skeleton that there were other things in the warehouse, and even related research materials in the research institute in the third part.
Upon learning this, Chen Yao immediately took Su Chen and the others to the research lab in the third section. Using the password obtained from the interrogation of Skeleton and the others, they quickly accessed the central computer in the lab.

When he saw the research on stealth coatings and the experimental data on the computer, he was instantly immersed in a sea of ​​knowledge, leaving Su Chen and the others behind.

"This guy," Su Chen said helplessly, turning to Skeleton and the others, "Looks like he won't be back to his senses for a while!" Chen Yao looked at the computer screen, practically disappearing into it.

"Alright. Ghost, you stay here and keep watch in case anything happens. Skeleton and I will go check out the small vault on the fourth floor. If anything comes up, come down and find us!"

"Yes, BOSS!" Ghost answered softly, as if worried that his voice was too loud and would disturb Chen Yao, who was engrossed in his work.

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled and nodded, then took the skeleton and Chen Yao in the elevator to the warehouse on the fourth basement floor!
When Su Chen came out of the elevator, the scene of the fourth-floor warehouse was not the same as he had imagined. He had thought it would be like a warehouse supermarket with tall shelves, but he did not expect that this warehouse was really a warehouse!

They built physical warehouses on the ground, and they divided them very clearly, with food areas, daily necessities areas, meat areas, and a total of seven warehouses.

According to the skeleton's report, the warehouses here were built under post-apocalyptic conditions to ensure that items and food would not spoil to the greatest extent possible.

Su Chen didn't check the contents of each warehouse one by one, but followed the skeleton straight to the small vault.

Despite being called a slush fund, Su Chen observed that its area was at least the size of two basketball courts, and even the main entrance was a security door used for bank vaults.

However, there was a hole in the security door that was as big as a person. Su Chen looked at the skeleton next to him with some confusion.

"Ahem~ BOSS, this security door is a Class B vault door, equipped with two imported mechanical combination locks and a long lever leaf lock. When we were cleaning up the Bai family, we didn't pay special attention to these things, so we had to use a special method to open this vault door!"

"Boss, you have no idea, the Bai family actually stored military weapons in their vault. When they used tricks to make a hole in the vault door, they were just a meter away from blowing it up. If we hadn't been lucky, the vault might have exploded!"

When this was mentioned, even the battle-hardened skeleton couldn't help but feel a little scared. No one knew that the Bai family had hidden more than ten tons of weapons in their vault, and even several boxes of artillery shells.

"Oh~" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, also becoming interested. He immediately walked towards the large hole in the vault door. Before he could go in, he heard Chen Yao's shout from behind.

"Old Su~ wait a minute!" (End of Chapter)
