Chapter 600: Steelmaking!
Translator: Min Editor: Caron_
Jiang Chen brought back three things in total from the apocalypse: a quasi-experimental quantum computer at 40 square meters in size, an industrial 3D printer, and 100 amphibious construction robots.
The quantum computer would be a small hill placed in the backyard of the mansion. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Chen’s storage dimension changed fundamentally, it would be questionable if he could even bring the quantum computer over.
The quantum computer was manufactured in 2150 with the code L-0008 used as the virtual reality network sub-framework for the province of Suhang to provide virtual reality porting services for all users in the province. It was quasi-experimental because its computational abilities didn’t meet the requirements for an experimental quantum computer, but its RAM and processing abilities already stood at the peak among commercial quantum computers.
The computer was preserved inside a special fallout shelter during the war. The fallout shelter located in Hang City recently opened and Big Mining Pit, who knew NAC was interested in technology products, immediately sent out his forces to take over the fallout shelter.
The boss of the Big Mining Pit didn’t dare to make an unreasonable offer, considering how authoritative NAC has been. He sold the scientists and quantum computer from the fallout shelter to Zhao Chenwu’s trade fleet before the Zhao Corporation sold the packaged products off to the NAC.
Following a week of maintenance work, the antique finally started working again.
The computation requirements for a virtual reality MMORPG were terrifying. The quantum computer located at the bottommost level of Future Building could barely sustain operation of G.o.dly Land. In order to establish a virtual reality network, the number of quantum computers Jiang Chen required would be astronomical.
Based on Jiang Chen’s orders, Fallout Shelter 027 exerted 40% of their research efforts on replicating quantum computer. Aside from the heavy electromagnetic pulse cannon under intensive research, it was already the research project with the highest priority.
The operation of the quantum computer showed that Future Group’s virtual reality services had acquired the hardware capabilities to expand to broader territories.
It also made Coro’s electrical grid under pressure again.
As for the industrial 3D printer and 100 amphibious construction robots, Jiang Chen had other uses for them.
Since Celestial Trade’s frigate forced Country F to recognize Moro’s independence in front of UA, New Guinea started to act more respectful of its powerful little neighbor.
At first, the New Guinea government retained a cautious att.i.tude towards Celestial Trade as a military tech company increasing its influence within the territory. The local governments were supportive of Future Group’s investments. They welcomed Future Group’s money but didn’t welcome Future Group’s people…
Now they were afraid to appear unwelcoming.
The country they depended on, Atria, couldn’t bring them a sense of security anymore. Regarding Xin, who made UA compromise, they were wondering what kind of trump card was in their hands.
The President of New Guinea didn’t know, so he chose a conservative strategy.
At least they didn’t display any hostile intentions. Their investment in New Guinea did promote its economic development and brought benefits to the locals. As for the pollution from industrial work, anyone else would’ve also polluted the environment in the same way.
They didn’t want to anger the dictator until he showed hostile intentions. What if they supported the cannibals living in the New Guinea jungles to become independent?
At noon, Jiang Chen arrived at a port in northern New Guinea by private jet and saw Luke Joyce, chairman of BHP Mining Group.
“Ten million tons of iron ore and 20 million tons of aluminum ore. Sh*t, you sure you didn’t add an extra zero?” The moment Luke saw him, he began to question Jiang Chen.
