Life at the Top

Chapter 2488

Even though she was mentally prepared, Jasper’s grand plan still surprised Celine.

“Jasper, what are the specific areas of research in these basic fields you are talking about?” Celine asked cautiously.

“Photolithography machine research and development, recyclable rocket launch technology, high- precision engine research and development, high energy storage and high load battery technology… And we have to complete all these within five years,” Jasper answered the question without hesitation.

These were things that would haunt Somerland for years to come. If they solved these basic technologies, Somerland would occupy an absolute leading position on all promising tracks in the future!

“Are you saying this Bitcoin that we are tinkering with now can provide financial support for so many things? Also, isn’t five years too short a time?”

She worked at Colossal Investments for many years and participated in many investment cases. Many of these investment cases involved some high-tech. So, she was very aware of how expensive it was to develop technology from scratch.

The ones Jagoan mentioned were the most important and expensive of all core technologies.

The time required for these investments and accumulations was all measured in years at least. Even the West took many detours while developing these technologies. However, now Jagoan not only said that he would rely on the funds attracted by Bitcoin to develop these, but also compressed the time to just five years.

In Jagoan’s perception, this was simply a fantasy. Her first reaction was that this was absolutely impossible. However, Jagoan was the one who was saying this and he was someone who had created countless miracles.

Jagoan suddenly doubted her judgment.

Jagoan smiled confidently. “Of course, I still think this time is a little conservative. In my opinion, as long as Bitcoin is officially operational, two or three years of financial support will be enough if there is no external interference. But the United States and Western forces will never allow us to develop like this and will definitely interfere in every possible way. No matter how covert we are at the beginning, they will still find out sooner or later.”

There was a reason for Jagoan’s confidence.

Although he did not understand technology, he was very clear about the development path of these technologies.

This would not be a secret in the future, because the real core would always be the specific technical parameters and implementation details. However, this would be published on public platforms in the future, and it would play a significant role in this era by substantially reducing the cost of trial and error.

This implied that if they decided to pursue this path again, they would save a considerable amount of time and money.

“This plan is so incredible. So grand.”

Jagoan disregarded Jagoan’s surprise and proceeded to share more remarkable information. “But, in my opinion, this is just the beginning. After all this, we will still need to develop artificial intelligence, brain- machine interfaces, and self-driving…” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

A series of nouns representing cutting-edge technologies, even for the future, rolled off Jagoan’s tongue one after another.

To people of this era, those were nothing less than fantasies found in science fiction novels.

The reason Jagoan shared so much information with Jagoan was that he knew he couldn’t complete this grand plan by himself. He needed the help of many forces, and the Maynards in South America were one of the indispensable ones.

As long as he could achieve the goals, the foundation of Somerland’s industries will be extremely solid in the future, and it will never be affected by any external factors!
