Excuse me, do you want the F22 fighter jet design blueprints?

April 2009.

Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

In the silence of this afternoon, inside the main duty room.

Xiao Li, a research intern who had only recently graduated, was listlessly browsing through various emails sent to the Academy on his computer.

His fingers clicked the mouse non-stop as he replied to them.

He could only describe this job as boring, mechanically approving various emails.

After all, apart from special emails from certain departments that required careful reading and forwarding, the vast majority were worthless spam.

He couldn't just pretend not to see these emails; he had to skim through them and reply to prevent any urgent situations from being missed, which would be troublesome.

If it weren't for the fact that every intern had to take turns on duty, he would have given up long ago.

Just as he was numbly processing these messages, looking forward to finishing work early.

Suddenly, a brand new email refreshed on the screen.

"Huh!? What is this?" His finger suddenly stopped, a look of confusion on his face.

As if he had discovered something incredible.

On the screen, the highlighted title of this email clearly read:

[Does your Academy need the complete technical design blueprints for a fifth-generation fighter jet? If you give them to me, how much compensation can I get?]

Looking at the title, Xiao Li's forehead was covered in black lines: "Do you need fifth-generation fighter blueprints? Why don't you send us controllable nuclear fusion research technology instead?"

Fifth-generation fighter technical design blueprints? What kind of joke was this?!

Currently, the only fifth-generation fighter officially in service worldwide was the F-22. Who could possibly offer such technology for trade?

Great Xia would be very willing to accept such a trade, but shouldn't they also consider whether Eagle Country would accept it?

He immediately let out a scoff, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation: "This is probably just another email from someone bored."

Xiao Li didn't take such an outrageous matter to heart at all.

After all, it was far too common for him.

As the highest institution for scientific research in Great Xia, the Great Xia Academy of Sciences received hundreds and thousands of emails with all sorts of bizarre content every day.

Let alone fifth-generation fighter blueprints, didn't people invent perpetual motion machines in their emails?

Fifth-generation fighter blueprints didn't even rank here!

Despite the content being utterly absurd.

Xiao Li still dutifully attached the Academy's default reply.

[Please submit more detailed relevant evidence, documentation, or specific data. Our Academy will provide a formal response after careful review.]

Under normal circumstances, as long as he replied asking for more detailed arguments and materials, the vast majority of people would not pursue it further.

After all, they themselves didn't understand the principles behind these so-called technologies, let alone provide data and arguments.

However.

More than half an hour passed, and just as he was about to forget about that ridiculous email.

Suddenly.

In the Great Xia Academy of Sciences' email backend, a brand new email was delivered again.

And on the title, a large line of text clearly read:

[Fifth Generation Fighter F-22 Technical Design Blueprints!]

"This is actually quite convincing," Xiao Li muttered to himself.

He really didn't expect this bored individual to actually come up with 'fifth-generation fighter technical blueprints'.

"I want to see what's inside," he clicked open with curiosity.

Instantly, a dense collection of compressed files appeared, ready for download.

The filenames clearly read:

[F-22 Fighter Manufacturing Process and Technical Analysis!]

[F-22 Fighter Pratt & Whitney F119 Vector Turbofan Engine Design Draft!]

[F-22 Fighter Nanoscale Stealth Coating Technology Synthesis and Analysis!]

[.]

Each file was over 100GB in size. The first few compressed packages alone exceeded a full 1TB of storage capacity!

Was this a prank?

"No. This isn't a prank!" He instinctively denied the thought.

Who would go to the trouble of sending dozens or hundreds of terabytes of compressed files just to pull off such a cheap prank?

You have to understand, back in '09, the average internet speed for Great Xia netizens was only 2M.

Uploading such a massive file, even with a 10-gigabit dedicated line, would take a long time to complete!

The time and financial cost involved would be too great, right?

Just to pull off a prank, that would be insane!

Unless...

"No way, this is for real?" Xiao Li gasped, horrified by his own audacious thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in Eagle Country.

Lu Ze looked at the email that now showed as received, a slight smile on his face.

"Finally sent it all over. Now, just waiting for their reaction."

He hadn't expected such a huge file to upload in an instant; the system's network transfer speed was truly unbelievable.

The two emails he just sent were indeed the ones.

And the compressed file in the second email wasn't fake either; it was genuine fifth-generation fighter jet research blueprints.

In other words.

As long as you follow the technical blueprints listed and possess the corresponding manufacturing technology and basic materials, you can successfully build an F-22!

As for why Lu Ze possessed this technology?

As a transmigrator, how could he not have the essential cheat system?

Not long ago, right after he transmigrated, he had awakened a system.

[Black Technology Copy System]

This meant that as long as he touched any technological item for more than five seconds, he could successfully copy its complete technology.

Whether it was the manufacturing process or any technical hurdles and difficulties, the system would copy them all.

Even the physical object itself would be copied and stored within the system's space.

Copying high-tech items would earn Achievement Points. The higher the level of the copied technology, the more Achievement Points obtained.

Whether it was various skills, talents, money, or even technology from the future, you could obtain them through lucky draws using Achievement Points.

Even if you wanted technology like the 'Droplet' from "The Three-Body Problem," it wouldn't be a problem as long as you had Achievement Points.

Therefore, after obtaining this system, Lu Ze, using his identity as a Master's student studying abroad at Duke University, touched an F-22 fighter jet for five seconds at an equipment exhibition held a few days ago, successfully copying the complete set of technical blueprints.

As for why he sent the technology to Great Xia Academy of Sciences.

Lu Ze, whether as a Great Xia student sent abroad on a government scholarship or as someone with deep patriotic feelings, even if he was just adhering to the principle of not wasting, he decided without hesitation to send this technology back to his home country.

After all, Lu Ze's life principle was.

He was very willing to lend a hand in anything that could harm Eagle Country's interests!
