Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Li Yichen turned his gaze away from the large screen and tapped his fingers twice on the metal control panel.

The surveillance video on the dark web homepage was playing right at the last second. The dull thud of the viper's ribs being broken still echoed in the speaker.

The screen suddenly went black.

A line of blood-red text occupied the entire page, its redness glaringly obvious.

"If you dare to lay a finger on me again, I'll blow up your server's physical address too!" — Li Yichen

This line of text was displayed openly and without any encryption in the center of the world's most secretive underground network.

The scrolling comments on the forum got stuck.

The data flow in the server's backend experienced a precipitous drop at this moment.

In a basement somewhere in North America, a one-eyed assassin, who was about to take a job, stared at the red text on the screen. His hand trembled, and the mouse fell to the ground.

"He's insane! This guy from Great Xia is absolutely crazy!" He scrambled to unplug the network cable and ripped out the computer's hard drive, smashing it to pieces.

The leader of a mercenary base in Europe pointed at the screen and roared at his subordinates, "Withdraw! Withdraw all orders related to Great Xia! These tech guys can trace physical addresses through the internet. Anyone who dares to touch Future Technology, I'll kill them first!"

The neutral intelligence brokers were even more shocked by this.

"It's one thing for dark web servers to be hacked, but to be physically located like that?"

"This is a military-grade defense system! It was breached in less than ten seconds and forced to the top of the leaderboard, and now they're threatening to bomb the server?"

Just how terrifying is the network technology that Future Tech possesses? To them, we are completely transparent online!

ten minutes.

Within ten minutes, all bounties for Future Technology on the dark web were completely removed. The assassination mission with a price tag of five hundred million US dollars was deleted along with the account of the person who posted it, and no one dared to click on it again.

This overwhelming technological and physical superiority directly shattered the psychological defenses of the entire assassin community.

Li Yichen turned off the screen, no longer giving those rats that had retreated back into the gutter any more attention.

Late the next night, Li Yichen took some time to return to the headquarters of Future Technology Company.

The order for 1,000 hydrogen fuel cells that was promised to the Shanghai Military Region has been fulfilled.

The low-frequency vibrations of the heavy truck engine pressed against the darkness of the night. Gu Shounian jumped out of the jeep, waved his hand, and a team of fully armed soldiers quickly set up a cordon.

Li Yichen pointed to the neatly stacked silver metal blocks in the constant temperature box behind him.

"A thousand miniature hydrogen fuel cells, count them one by one."

Gu Shounian leaned closer, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the pile of fist-sized batteries. He picked one up, weighed it in his hand, and his Adam's apple bobbed twice.

"Dude, can this thing really power heavy equipment?"

"Why don't you take it back and try it out?" Li Yichen leaned against the door frame and yawned. "Hurry up and load it into the car, I'm busy here. If the final payment is even a penny short, this kind of good deal won't come again next time."

Gu Shounian waved to his men to move the items, while taking out his phone to call the finance department.

"The funds will be transferred directly. Two hundred billion, not a penny less, and it will arrive immediately!"

Li Yichen's phone vibrated in his pocket.

I took it out and glanced at it.

Two hundred billion in cash was deposited into the account.

"Brother, it's been a pleasure working with you. The higher-ups are very satisfied with your efficiency." Gu Shounian rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear.

"Take him away quickly." Li Yichen waved his hand, turned around and walked back to the laboratory building. "Don't delay my big project."

After Gu Shounian left, Li Yichen returned to the precision laboratory of the future aerospace base once again.

The following night, Ji Yanran led another convoy of vehicles into the building's underground parking garage.

The top-tier military materials promised by the four major war zones were neatly stacked in the cargo compartment of a heavy truck.

Wearing high heels, Ji Yanran directed the workers to transport all the materials into the dedicated freight elevator, which went straight to the sixty-sixth floor, an absolutely forbidden area. She shook her aching arms; after working non-stop for several days, even an iron man couldn't take it anymore.

Li Yichen sat at the control panel in the precision laboratory building and pulled up the surveillance footage from the 66th floor.

Ling'er's virtual avatar jumped to the center of the screen. "Brother, both fully automated industrial mother machines are operating at full capacity, and the order for forty sets of battle armor from the four war zones has officially entered the production line. It is expected that all of them will be delivered in fifty days."

Li Yichen tapped the metal tabletop, staring at the mountain of rare titanium alloys and special materials piled up on the screen.

The Eastern Theater Command sent composite special steel, the Western Theater Command brought in high-purity rare earth, the Northern Theater Command obtained high-temperature resistant ceramic sheets, and the Southern Theater Command acquired composite carbon fiber.

The four war zones spared no expense for this batch of armor.

"These old men have given us quite a bit of information."

"More than enough." Ling'er counted on her fingers, "After building forty sets, there are still enough materials left to make another five or six sets. They've given you their entire savings, afraid that they won't have enough materials to delay the construction."

Li Yichen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"Since they're so generous, we can't waste the extra materials." He gave the order, "Set up a separate production line for myself, using only the highest-quality materials. Craft me several sets of upgraded spare armor with even more insane performance."

"Got it! I guarantee I'll sculpt a few monsters for you!" Ling'er did a somersault in mid-air, full of enthusiasm.

"Change the paint job, don't go for that lifeless, pure black," Li Yichen added. "I want a coating that can make you invisible in space."

Time flies.

A month later.

The operating room at the deepest part of the precision laboratory building.

Li Yichen held the miniature welding torch and completed the final sealing process.

Before me, a six-meter-long, thirty-centimeter-diameter tungsten-titanium alloy rod lay quietly on the assembly table. It was dark silver in color and covered with an ultra-high temperature resistant coating.

This is not just a metal rod.

Its internal structure is extremely complex, with a miniature thruster perfectly embedded in the tail of the rod. The tungsten-titanium alloy has an extremely high density, and the weight of this single rod is astonishing.

The entire system is cleverly encased in a huge polygonal metal shell. The shell is covered with folding mechanisms for the solar panels and signal transceiver antennas.

From the outside, it looks exactly like a large, expensive quantum communication satellite.

Who would have thought that beneath this shell lay six kinetic weapons capable of smashing through underground bunkers?

Li Yichen took off his protective mask and shook his sore arms.

"Ling'er, has the signal shielding layer of the disguise been tested?"

"I've tested it three times, bro. Whether it's radar scanning or infrared detection, the data this thing presents is just that of an ordinary communications satellite. Even the most advanced reconnaissance satellites in the US can't detect the slightest flaw."

Li Yichen nodded in satisfaction.

"Seal it up. Transport it to the launch pad. Prepare to send it into space."

Sea launch pad.

The 105-meter-tall Lingxiao-2 stands on the sea, its huge white rocket body reflecting a dazzling halo in the sunlight.

Inside the command center, Liu Ruyan leaned on the control panel with both hands and reported loudly.

"President Li, the carrying capacity of Lingxiao-2 has been successfully increased to 1,500 tons! All indicators have been tested and all systems are functioning correctly!"

Li Yichen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the giant black shipping container being slowly lifted up by a crane.

The container slid smoothly into the fairing on top of the rocket. The latches engaged.

The observation area was already filled with cameras and microphones from major media outlets around the world, and space agencies from hundreds of countries were keeping a close eye on this behemoth via satellite signals.

A blonde female reporter handed a microphone to Li Yichen, asking pointed questions.

"Mr. Li, there is great curiosity about the payload of this launch. Some speculate that it was a military-grade test, and some even suspect that it contained weapons of mass destruction. What exactly was inside? Are you secretly engaged in a space arms race?"

Li Yichen remained expressionless as he faced the camera.

"This is a state-of-the-art quantum communication satellite developed by Future Technology to benefit humanity. It will provide free quantum-level network coverage to remote areas around the world."

They lied with such confidence that they didn't even bother to write a draft.

The female reporter wanted to ask more questions, so she kept pushing the microphone forward.

"But Mr. Li, a carrying capacity of 1,500 tons, used only to launch a single communications satellite? That doesn't make commercial sense!"

Li Yichen glanced at her.

"We have plenty of money for future technology, so we're happy to build big rockets to send small satellites into orbit. Is there a problem? If you're so capable, why don't you build one that weighs 1,500 tons?"

One sentence left the female reporter speechless.

Li Yichen turned and walked towards the control panel, ignoring the noisy media.

The countdown has entered its final ten seconds.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"ignition!"

The twelve Aurora engines roared simultaneously with earth-shattering force.

A white-blue trail of flame erupted instantly, the terrifying heat vaporizing the seawater beneath the launch pad. A massive column of white steam shot skyward.

Lingxiao No. 2, this prehistoric behemoth that broke free of its shackles, tore through the white mist and pierced straight into the sky.

Hundreds of military radars around the world tracked the rocket's trajectory closely, watching it break through the atmosphere and enter its designated orbit.

In the monitoring hall of NASA, a group of experts stared intently at the screens.

"Parameters are normal! Trajectory is normal! No abnormal radiation detected!"

"Is it really a communications satellite?"

"What on earth are the Great Xia people up to?"

They could never have imagined that the satellite contained six deadly tungsten-titanium alloy rods.

A deafening cheer erupted in the command center. Liu Ruyan, her face flushed with excitement, high-fived the engineer beside her.

"Satellite successfully entered orbit!"

Li Yichen did not participate in the celebration.

Ling'er's electronic voice cut directly into his mind.

"Brother, the space-based platform's camouflage shell has been deployed, and the solar panels are supplying power normally!"

Ling'er's broadcast was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and the data stream was jumping wildly at the edge of Li Yichen's retina.

"Weapon system locked! Six tungsten-titanium alloy rods are ready to be deployed. Just give the word, and within minutes they can be raining down on any corner of the earth!"

Li Yichen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked up, his gaze passing over the cheering crowd, piercing through the thick bulletproof glass, and landing directly on the azure sky.

He slowly drew out an unfathomable arc.

This most deadly sword of Damocles on Earth hung openly over everyone's heads.

"Now, nobody can flip my table again."
