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

"What's the moon?" Li Yichen stared at the virtual panel in his field of vision. "After we finish these, let's go to a farther place."

He moved his back off the headboard, leaned forward, and rubbed his hands together vigorously. Two cracking sounds came from his knuckles.

Ji Yanran, burdened with a trillion-yuan loan, went on a shopping spree in Shanghai. Meanwhile, her reliable friend broadcast the coordinates of Earth, making the red line of Ophiuchus hang overhead. Five years, or even less.

"System," he spoke to the air, "the first eighty gift packs gave a ton of machine tools, laying a solid foundation. Now, for these last eighty-five, shouldn't you give me some truth?"

The neural links of the brain-computer interface remained open. Ling'er's virtual projection floated at the foot of the bed, and with the help of the visual signals shared by Li Yichen, she could clearly see the eighty-five unopened golden cubes.

The little girl raised both hands to her chest, her fingers tightly clasped together, in an extremely devout prayer posture, her face scrunched up: "Brother, please, please bless us with a super weapon! You have no idea, I've been using all my backend computing power these past few days to deduce how to escape with you in a spaceship, I'm so frustrated!"

"Run away?" Li Yichen scoffed. "Those two words don't exist in my dictionary."

He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger in the air.

The eighty-first gift package.

The white light in front of me vanished completely. A blinding dark golden light exploded deep within my mind.

An hour ago, if this level of data stream had flooded in, Li Yichen would have been rolling around on the bed clutching his head. But now, the neural synapses, having just received the brain-developing drug injection, were demonstrating terrifying resilience.

The vast flow of knowledge was like a warm stream, smoothly flowing into the grooves of his neurons. There was no bloating, no dizziness; instead, it brought an extreme clarity, like taking a big gulp of ice-cold soda on a hot summer day. The processing speed was so fast that even he himself found it unbelievable.

A crisp electronic sound rang in my mind.

[Acquired: Space-based laser interception satellite technology]

Li Yichen's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled out the detailed data panel of this technology in his mind, casually packed it up and threw it into the brain-computer interface, and transmitted it to Ling'er.

"What is this?" Ling'er leaned closer to the edge of the holographic projection, and blue data streams cascaded down her face.

"Good stuff." Li Yichen quickly scanned the parameters, reading out the key data. "Large-scale deployment in low Earth orbit, forming a global laser firepower network with no blind spots. The energy storage module and launch matrix of this thing, the power of a single laser, can vaporize a small meteorite in milliseconds. As for conventional missiles in the atmosphere, they're no different from paper in front of it. An absolute air-to-air weapon."

Ling'er's eyes sparkled, and she gestured with her hands in the air as if firing a cannon: "Shall we use this to fight the alien fleet? We'll shoot them down one by one!"

Li Yichen stroked his chin, swiped the panel to the side, and shook his head.

"It's probably not going to be a main force. This thing is good, but it feels like an over-powered fly swatter. The armor of an alien regular army's warships might not be able to be penetrated by laser spot fire alone. At most, it can be used to clear out mobs, intercept enemy orbital drops, or turn their scouting drones into sieves."

He put his hands back on his knees: "We've got the fly swatter, but we still need a hammer. Let's keep whipping."

He lifted his finger again and started a frantic tapping mode on the virtual panel.

For the next two hours, the master bedroom was eerily quiet. Li Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, poking at the air with his fingers.

White light.

White light.

It's still white light.

Icons of ten-axis fully automated high-precision industrial machine tools and magnetically confined plasma nano-forging casting tables were frantically filling the system's inventory slots like dumplings being dropped into a pot. One after another, these steel behemoths lined up in a long queue in the virtual warehouse.

"Brother!" Ling'er jumped up and down anxiously in mid-air, her little mouth pouting, her hands waving wildly. "Is this broken system bugged? Why are we buying machine tools wholesale again? We're going to fight an interstellar war, not open a hardware wholesale market! There are over a hundred machine tools already, are you planning to use them to reclaim land from the sea?"

Li Yichen didn't stop; his movements were steady as a rock.

His improved brain development allowed him to calculate the value of new production capacity within 0.1 seconds of each flash of white light.

"Don't rush." ​​His voice was steady, with an undeniable confidence. "Have you calculated how many standard machined parts a 120,000-ton space carrier would need? If the alien fleet really comes, we'll be fighting a war of attrition. Without these lumps of iron, how will we build warships and cannons?"

You think building a Star Destroyer is like building with Lego? The material processing for the keel and outer armor alone would drain our current production capacity. Let's wait and see; the system is preparing a major surprise.

He glanced at the number in the upper right corner. Twenty left.

"Let's go all out."

The index finger fell heavily.

The twentieth gift pack from the end.

The white light finally disappeared. In its place, a ghostly blue light appeared.

As the light spread, strands of dark blue data appeared in Li Yichen's mind, intertwined and complex like a miniature nebula.

[Acquisition: Quantum Global Network Technology]

Li Yichen's breath hitched for a second.

He directly handed the data packet to Ling'er.

"Do you understand now?" Li Yichen pointed to the pulsating data chains.

Ling'er's virtual image froze for a fraction of a second, the background computing power surged wildly, blue data streams poured down from her eyes, and even the edges of the projection became slightly blurry.

"Brother..." She swallowed a non-existent saliva, "This thing completely abandons the traditional electromagnetic wave physical medium? It uses quantum entanglement for global information transmission? And the nodes can be expanded infinitely?"

"Yes." Li Yichen snapped his fingers. "What does this mean? It means it completely circumvents the physical limitations of electromagnetic waves. It's truly impossible to shield, impossible to eavesdrop on, and impossible to interfere with. Light-speed delay? Doesn't exist. No matter the distance, information arrives instantly."

He stood up and paced back and forth by the bed, speaking faster as he drew a line in the air with his finger: "If those aliens from Ophiuchus really attack, the first thing they'll do is definitely use electronic warfare to cut off our communication networks."

"Our current satellite communications are a joke to them. With this, we can maintain absolutely stable real-time communication between Earth, the Moon, and even our future interstellar fleets and underground fortresses. Aliens want to use technology to suppress and sever our command links? Pure fantasy!"

"Great stuff!" Ling'er clenched her little fist and waved it in the air, excitedly spinning around in mid-air. "With this, my computing network can cover the entire solar system without even a millisecond of delay! I can control tens of thousands of mechs in combat simultaneously without worrying about signal interruptions!"

"The infrastructure is complete, the communication network is in place, and the anti-aircraft fly swatters are ready." Li Yichen stopped and looked at the panel again, his eyes burning. "What we still need is power."

Without a terrifying energy source, all of this is just scrap metal. While cold fusion is powerful, it's still not quite enough to power a real interstellar warship.

The last fifteen gift packs.

Without further hesitation, Li Yichen selected ten items and activated them with a single click.

The first nine, a series of white lights flashed, and nine more industrial machine tools were put into storage.

Li Yichen didn't even glance at it. His gaze was fixed on the last gift package.

That was a radiance unlike any before.

It was not white light, not golden light, and not dark blue light.

An intensely bright crimson light, like a sharp sword, cleaved open the depths of his mind.

The red light carried a violent and aggressive quality. Even after being enhanced by the brain-developing drug, Li Yichen's neural synapses still felt a slight electric current stinging sensation.

Massive amounts of data were dumped into the consciousness zone. Complex magnetic confinement field models, annihilation chamber design blueprints, antimatter capture and storage technologies... every blueprint exuded a suffocating sense of technological oppression.

[Acquired: Matter-antimatter reactor (complete technology + manufacturing process)]

Li Yichen stood frozen in place for a full five seconds.

He turned the brain-computer interface's transmission power to maximum and directly dumped the technical blueprints into Ling'er's database without modification.

"what!"

Ling'er let out a sharp cry of surprise, and the virtual projection flashed with snowflakes in mid-air, a sign of instantaneous computing overload.

Two seconds later, the projection stabilized again. The little girl held her head in her hands, her eyes wide open, staring intently at Li Yichen.

"Matter and antimatter?!" Ling'er's voice trembled, her finger pointing at the void shaking. "Brother! What kind of monster did you unleash?! This is 100% mass-energy conversion!"

Li Yichen didn't say anything, he just looked at her.

"Cold fusion is already insane enough, but this thing's energy multiplier is twelve hundred times that of cold fusion!" Ling'er danced wildly in mid-air, her words incoherent, even her hair model fluttering wildly. "Twelve hundred times! Brother! With this, we'll be completely energy-free! Forget about space carriers, even if you build a star destroyer that can roam freely in space, this thing can handle it!"

She rushed to Li Yichen, her virtual face almost touching his nose, and shouted:

"Brother! Our problem now isn't how to defend against aliens, it's how to build something that can match a matter-antimatter fusion reactor!"
