Chapter 2

Hearing this voice.

Zhang Wen was both surprised and happy.

A system, a gift package!

He had to take a good look at what this system actually was!

【This system is the Industrial Powerhouse, aiming to rise as a powerful nation through industry.】

【The host can use prestige to purchase blueprints, technology, and other items.】

【Prestige comes from the host's personal prestige and the group's prestige. The higher the prestige worldwide, the faster the prestige accumulates.】

【Detected that the host owns Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory, please confirm whether to bind.】

"Confirm!"

Zhang Wen hurriedly shouted this word in his mind.

【Binding successful, issuing newbie gift package.】

【Please check in the system space, host.】

Zhang Wen didn't rush to check the newbie gift package first.

Instead, he clicked on the system interface first.

【Host: Zhang Wen. Bound Group: Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory.】

【Prestige owned: 500 points.】

After glancing at the basic information, Zhang Wen clicked on the exchange list; this one look almost gave Zhang Wen a heart attack.

He saw the list was densely packed with all kinds of things.

【Anti-gravity technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【Neutron armor technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【Death Star ship blueprints. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【Dark matter propulsion engine technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

Although Zhang Wen didn't understand how high the technical content of these technologies was, just the number of zeros in the exchange cost was already too many for Zhang Wen to count.

And they were all things with names that sounded incredibly impressive.

But Zhang Wen noticed one thing, which was that behind everything above, there was one thing: technology.

It seems that the things in this system still ultimately needed people to manufacture them.

But just the technology alone was enough to make one's heart race.

Zhang Wen scrolled directly to the last page.

He saw it.

【First-generation data fire control system technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【First-generation data link technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【First-generation phased array radar technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【First-generation electromagnetic stealth technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

【First-generation missile technology. Exchange requires prestige:.】

"First generation?"

"Doesn't look very strong."

But when Zhang Wen clicked on it, he found out.

He was completely wrong.

The system's first generation was the first generation it defined itself.

It was not the generation on Blue Star.

Zhang Wen looked at it; this kind of first-generation technology should be at the level of his original world around the year 2025.

Not to mention the generations from one to ten afterwards.

And, even if it was just the first generation, that was still 2025 technology; placed in the current world of 2000, wouldn't it be easily crushing everything!

The most critical thing was that the numbers were no longer an unreachable dream.

At least in Zhang Wen's view, there was a day when these numbers could be achieved.

Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his newbie gift package.

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining all technical data for the 022 missile boat.】

This immediately pulled Zhang Wen back from the fantasy of interstellar warships to reality.

022?

"Let me see."

Zhang Wen immediately started checking the technical data.

Only then did he discover that not only were the blueprints included, but even the hull, radar, fire control, stealth technology, etc., were all given together.

The most critical thing was.

The missile.

That's right, the full set of Eagle Strike 83 blueprints, a subsonic anti-ship missile with a range of about 200 kilometers.

This immediately made Zhang Wen a huge profit.

Zhang Wen felt a bit dizzy and used his hand to steady the corner of the table.

Chen Shifu, who was on the side, saw this and thought Zhang Wen was under too much pressure and had collapsed, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Wen with concern.

"Xiao Wen, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you alright!"

"Don't scare Uncle Chen."

"Uncle Chen, I'm fine." Zhang Wen hurriedly stood up straight and pressed Chen Shifu down.

He was already rushing over to get the car keys.

If he were a few minutes late, he would probably be sent to the hospital.

"Uncle Chen, I have a way."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking to Chen Shifu, he immediately walked out of the office.

"There's hope, there's hope."

Zhang Wen kept muttering this sentence.

He dashed back to his own office.

His own mentor, Cui Zhuren.

Was exactly the Director of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Military Industrial University.

This kind of news.

He must know.

If an ordinary person asked, Cui Zhuren definitely wouldn't say, due to confidentiality requirements.

But Zhang Wen was the Factory Director of Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory.

A person with qualifications.

Not involved in secrets!

Zhang Wen hurriedly dialed Cui Zhuren's phone.

At the Military Industrial University, in the office of the Director of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Cui Zhuren picked up the phone and signaled an apology to the person in military uniform opposite him.

Then he answered the phone and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Xiao Zhang, have you finished handling your family matters?"

"No, not yet, Teacher." Zhang Wen suppressed his excited mood.

"Then why are you calling me? I'm telling you, if you have nothing else, you must be at school at this time next year."

After Cui Zhuren finished speaking sternly, he immediately felt his words were inappropriate.

After all, he knew this student; perhaps there was something going on at home.

Realizing this, Cui Zhuren immediately changed his tone.

"Xiao Zhang, you are a good seedling."

"I really don't want you to ruin your future. I've already paved the way for you."

"You don't need to worry about your master's or doctoral degrees."

"Sigh, Teacher also hopes you can consider it carefully."

"As for that factory at your home, isn't it just a small private factory? Teacher will give you a piece of advice."

"Let go when you should. Your own future is the most important."

"I understand, Teacher." Zhang Wen said hurriedly.

"But, the thing I want to ask about is not this."

"Hmm." Cui Zhuren looked at the person in military uniform in front of him; that person hurriedly waved his hand, signaling there was no problem.

Afterwards, Cui Zhuren asked: "Go ahead. What is it?"

"I want to ask, isn't the country saying recently that it wants to develop new weapons to counter the Eagle Country's aggression in the South Sea?"

"I want to ask."

"Can I participate?"

When Cui Zhuren heard the voice on the phone, his head grew big.

How could a student know about this kind of thing? The most critical thing was that when he was talking about this.

The military representative was still sitting right in front of him.

At this moment, the person opposite Cui Zhuren had a sharp look in their eyes. You must know, their visit this time was top secret.

"Xiao Wen, you'd better forget it. I know you have this intention, Teacher knows."

"When Teacher was young, I thought the same way, wishing I could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy right now."

"But, for now, it's better for you to prioritize your studies. Don't think about those high-reaching things."

"However, don't worry, if you are really that kind of material, after studying for a few years, I will personally take you to your senior brothers or sisters and let you participate."

"As for now, just study well."

"And, where did you find out about this?"

These words were intentionally said by Cui Zhuren for the military representative to hear, intentionally trying to exonerate Zhang Wen.

You must know, the military representative had just come to talk to him about the new weapon's plan and design, and his student already knew about it.

If there wasn't a reasonable explanation, he might be fine, but Zhang Wen's future would really be ruined.

So the last sentence was what Cui Zhuren really wanted to ask.

"I saw it in the military newspaper." Zhang Wen didn't hesitate at all.

"After I saw it, I came directly to ask you."

Seeing Zhang Wen's explanation, the doubt in Cui Zhuren's heart was temporarily quelled.

"In other words, you know there is this bidding?" When Zhang Wen heard Cui Zhuren's words, he immediately thought there really was such a thing and hurriedly asked.

"Then can my manufacturing factory also participate in the bidding for the plan?"

"No." Cui Zhuren said immediately.

"This kind of bidding is generally for state-owned equipment manufacturing factories, domestic research institutions, and research institutes."

"Private enterprises are completely unqualified to participate."

"Teacher, our factory really has this qualification."

"And, it's the full set of qualifications, for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, all of them."
