Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

It is said that there are thousands of superheroes in New York.

And twenty years later, when the two worlds start a war, the ones who will appear in the opposite world... will only be hundreds of thousands of quantum armored super soldiers led by Anna.

There are also endless armed drones.

All she had to pay was the mental energy to operate the manufacturing equipment and a pile of scrap cars.

Anyway, in this world, Anna has almost completely forgotten her wealthy life in the previous world.

Chapter 229 and beyond: Squad-level transportation and command centers

The hundreds of used cars Natasha got were only opened in the furnace a few times, and the used cars Natasha got melted like ice and snow, and then Anna's construction site fell into the dilemma of having no raw materials available.

Finally, after piecing together various pieces, Anna used the melted metal liquid in her hand and, after a series of shaping and refining processes, created two qualified farm modules.

After planting vegetables in these two automated modules, experimenting with soilless rice cultivation, and raising fish underneath, Anna set her sights on transforming the small truck that Natasha had bought.

Anna's activity time every week is spent in the laboratory on the third floor, teaching her quantum knowledge to Xiaolin and Natasha, and asking everyone what kind of car they want.

……

Xiaolin and Natasha had been dragged to the construction site by Anna several times before. Especially after playing with the super-powered armor for a long time and witnessing the entire process of manufacturing these armors...

These two people have a general impression of Anna's "quantum science", and even Kobayashi's confidence in Anna's quantum computer project has inexplicably increased a lot.

The most important thing is that after playing with the armor for a few days, Xiaolin no longer has to worry about how to pay back the 40 billion US dollars that Anna cheated.

Everyone on Earth knows that as long as Anna masters the core technology, then this set of armor that looks like a small Gundam... in this world, its value will definitely be in the hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.

Natasha, on the other hand, was obsessed with the two sets of "Miscellaneous Soldier-Grade Nana Labor Protection Armor" Anna had given her and Georgie. Every day, she and Georgie enthusiastically took turns wearing them in the shop, experimenting with the new features and uses of the armor next to the farm module.

……

The small truck Natasha had bought before had been roughly modified before.

With features like magic cleaning, preservation, refrigeration, and space expansion in the cabin, this small car has made great contributions to increasing the value of the restaurant's assets.

These days, all the fresh fish, wine, vegetables, and hundreds of old cars in the store were brought back by this small truck.

However, after Natasha cleared out all the scrapped cars that were easily available nearby, Anna and the others, who were short of raw materials, began to expand their search range.

At this time, the small truck can only pull twenty small cars at a time.

This transportation capacity is naturally insufficient.

In addition to used cars, Anna, who has recently been keen on picking up junk, has set her sights on the lucrative field of underwater shipwrecks.

So, transform Natasha's pickup truck. Increase the horsepower and carry more.

There are also super-powered armors that can be used for underwater and deep-sea operations.

These two things have become the most important things for Anna now.

As for quantum computers…

This...this will just have to wait a few more days.

Moreover, the last few most critical pieces of equipment in the laboratory on the third floor have not arrived yet. For this kind of top-notch technology equipment with a unit price of over 100 million US dollars, the procurement cycle will take dozens of people 3 to 6 months, and the debugging and training will take another one or two months.

Even Anna had no way to get the people in the scientific research companies to speed up the progress.

Therefore, the research on quantum computers can only be advanced slowly.

……

Natasha has always had a plan to transform her pickup truck.

But before that, I was busy with automated farms, quantum technology furnaces, and super-powered armor, and the performance of that small truck was enough for the time being.

So it has been delayed until now.

The appearance of the latest small truck was decided after soliciting everyone's opinions, well...most importantly, Kanna-chan's opinion.

The small truck turned into a Watts Traveler van with two cute big eyes on the front of the car.

It has a non-load-bearing body, part-time four-wheel drive, front and rear rigid axles, and mechanical locks. Everything is so primitive, and it’s also a grandfather’s van in military green…

According to Kanna-chan, a car like this is cute and not easy to break, and the color also matches Thor very well.

Moreover, after Anna and her friends dismantled the white truck into pieces, all parts and every part of the truck were re-refined.

After the entire car was quantized and semi-energized, the number of quantum runes on this car had reached tens of millions, and it had become a brand new "magic item" with a very high energy level.

When driving on the road, don't say anything like "be careful of being hit by other cars."

Now, we should be thankful if this small van doesn't crash into the Self-Defense Forces' tanks while driving on the road.

Moreover, due to its size and carrying capacity, it can be equipped with higher-power energy channels. This small car has now become a repair center and command center for those super-power armors, as well as a generator for large energy shields.

When the energy is fully activated, the energy shield of this car can even protect against Thor's full strength in the sky... 0.5 hits.

The front row and passenger space with improved driving conditions are also equipped with large sofas, tables, chairs, benches, stoves, pots and pans, televisions, gaming equipment, as well as magic refrigerators, magic wine cabinets, outdoor tents, and other things.

As long as it drives to a beautiful place, the car can take out all kinds of things from its never-ending belly, and in a very short time it can build an outdoor camp that can accommodate 10 to 20 people comfortably.

Of course, Anna and her friends now use this car to transport goods and go camping.

Twenty years later, this type of car will be Anna's 'squad-level transportation' and command center for ordinary people when she invades the other world.

For this purpose, the van has a small expansion space built into the roof. Under the enclosed roof, more than 200 drones can be docked and maintained simultaneously.

While providing charging and docking services for the two drones, within a range of 20 kilometers, after becoming a complete form, this van can also simultaneously command nearly two thousand drones to perform various tasks in the area.

According to Anna's idea, after her subordinates are equipped with super-powered armor, they must be equipped with at least one hundred drones each to be qualified.

Of course, these current drone sea tactics...are nothing new.

Before the advent of quantum computers, Anna wouldn't have been able to manage so many drones operating simultaneously in the sky without causing any chaos. Furthermore, the drone's more intelligent flight control system would require Kobayashi and the other three engineers to redouble their efforts in the future.

Chapter 230 The idea of ​​a shipwreck salvage business

Also because it will be used as Anna's future army's "squad-level transportation" and grassroots command center, the loading capacity of the rear half of this small van is extremely powerful.

The passenger area in front of it was just an accessory, with enough space for 20 people to set up tents and other supplies.

The cargo space in the back half of this small car is where the bulk of its staying power lies.

After repeated space expansion, the current minivan has a cargo hold at the back that is 28 meters long, 15 meters wide and 15 meters high, within the maximum bearing capacity of the materials.

That is to say, there is a space the size of a standard basketball court and 15 meters high.

It doesn’t look big...

But this space has a total of 6300 cubic meters. If it is used to store steel, it can accommodate nearly 5 tons of scrap steel.

This space is much larger than the legendary 1000 cubic meter space ring.

If Anna and the others were to drive this car to salvage a shipwreck in the Tsushima Strait...

Then, with one round trip, they can pull back a Russian battleship or something like that, which had been cut up and had a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, from the Russo-Japanese War.

At that time, let alone the lack of raw materials, Anna could fill the three-story building with farm modules. After doing it a few more times, they could even sell the "clean metals" salvaged from the seabed to the outside world.

Yes, clean metal from the seabed.

Salvaging sunken warships on Earth has now become an openly profitable industry.

Because the steel from these shipwrecks was smelted before World War II, for many industries, it is an uncontaminated, clean metal left on Earth.

Because these ships were built before the first atomic bomb exploded, and then sank into the sea and were isolated by the sea water.

Therefore, these shipwrecks are essentially radiation-free. As a kind of clean metal like a family heirloom... it is very suitable for making various precision instruments and medical equipment. Therefore, this metal is much more valuable than ordinary steel.

Because of the nuclear explosions, any steel produced after World War II is contaminated with radioactive isotopes, which makes the metal "impure" for some applications.

In fact, this same consideration also exists in the field of wine. To determine whether a wine is aged, one often only needs to see whether its ingredients contain cesium, because wines produced after 1945 contain trace amounts of cesium.

Even if there is no Godzilla in this world, scientists have already become a little disgusted with metal after 1945.

The reason why Anna came up with the idea of ​​salvaging the shipwreck was that scrap iron and steel were difficult to recycle, and also because when she was working on the experiments on the third floor, the outsourcing companies searched all over Japan for "clean metal" to use as the base of the instruments.

This type of steel, produced before 1945, is known as low-background radiation steel in the world's metal materials field.

This special steel is generally used in sensitive instruments that have requirements for radiation levels, aerospace sensors, and various medical devices.

Although current technology can produce low-background radiation steel, the cost of production is very high.

Salvaging shipwrecks from before World War II is not only cheap, but also produces a large amount of steel, making it the most cost-effective way to obtain clean steel.

This is why Anna didn't want to travel far, so she just set her sights on the Tsushima Strait, which is closest to Japan.

Otherwise, you could take a trip to the South China Sea.

The British Empire's battleship "Prince of Wales" that sank there alone had a tonnage of 4 tons.

If Anna dismantled the salvaged battleship "Prince of Wales" and sold it as historical souvenirs, she might be able to make tens of millions of pounds from this business alone.

As the world's first battleship sunk by Japanese air force during voyage, the wreckage of the "Prince of Wales" has gone down in history. Souvenirs are a hot commodity that is in great demand both in the UK and in Japan.

If Anna uses these metals to make shipgirls and figurines...

That will definitely be sold out.

This way to make money was not something Anna came up with out of her imagination.

In fact, she knew that in her previous life, in August 2018, a Chinese salvage company had wandered into the South China Sea and started to salvage the wreckage of a British warship there.

Because the famous "Prince of Wales" was among the wrecks, this incident also caused strong condemnation from the British government...

And the idea of ​​using the wreckage of the "Prince of Wales" as a souvenir was not Anna's imagination.

Because before that, businessmen who only cared about profit had already been selling those graffiti-covered cement blocks on the Berlin Wall all over the world.

Therefore, souvenirs made from metal of historic ships will never have trouble selling in this world.

Similarly, the wreckage of historical ships such as the Bisman battleship, the Titanic, and the Yamato... can also make a lot of money through theme parks and souvenirs after being salvaged.

Considering the purchasing power of Earth's geeks and history buffs, and assuming civilization doesn't collapse in the future...

If hundreds or thousands of years from now, humans have traveled all over the Milky Way, then even a piece of stone on Earth might be sold at a high price among them.

What bricks are from the Great Wall?

The soil from my hometown.

And for only 998, you can take home the Titanic's ultimate diamond ring...

Anna didn't even know how many kinds of souvenirs she could develop to make money.

As for the huge treasures that are now sleeping on the seabed, according to current international law, Anna really cannot do anything about it.

So it’s not that Anna has no ability to make money in this world.

It's just that after Caichuan lived a happy life, she didn't want to make money anymore.

But I don't want to make money.

However, the space in the three-story building still needs to be filled with planting modules and small factory modules in the future.

Therefore, the salvaging of the sunken ship and the collection of scrap steel were gradually prepared with Anna's half-hearted approach.

After getting the small van with more than 6000 cubic meters of loading space.

Anna then began to design a super-powered armor that was also made of old car parts and could also be used for underwater operations.

Chapter 231 Superpower Armor is Actually the Standard Equipment of Advanced Civilization

Inherited from the technology acquired from the Oldest House, it's called super-powered armor, but in reality, this is simply due to the low level of advancement of Earth's civilization. This led to the misunderstanding of a bronze sword as a divine artifact in the Stone Age.

If we really talk about the level of interstellar civilization, as long as the scientists of this civilization are reliable, then the exoskeleton super-power armor that Anna is making now... is just a labor protection-level thing.

In the eyes of scientists from advanced civilizations, Anna's current armor is, at best, a mass-produced product with more distinctive features.

But don’t think that just because Anna has a very strong ability to interpret the quantum world and has a very strong quantum perspective, that the quantum world belongs to her.
