Chapter 776: Humanity’s Black Technology

The SEG Serl Engine and the corresponding IGV aircraft are just the tip of the iceberg of the human technological tree; they could even be described as a tiny ice fragment. The government’s restrictions on advanced science and technology surpass everyone’s imagination. This unwritten agreement means that even if wars break out among nations, no one dares to cross this dangerous line, even if a country falls.

This secret understanding keeps most civilians focused on the technologies they see, leading them to doubt the existence of the almost science fiction-like amazing technologies that remain under strict secrecy. There are still countless unimaginable black technologies that are still heavily guarded.

Nikola Tesla, a little-known scientific heretic. His achievements in electricity far exceed those of the "inventor king" Thomas Edison. He invented over 1,000 patents in his lifetime, but 90% of those patents were blocked by collusion between the government and conglomerates, and even the Nobel Prize list intentionally erased his name.

After Nikola Tesla’s death, all historical records and reports related to him have been continuously deleted and modified by unidentified organizations. Since 1943, information about Nikola Tesla has been diminishing in the human world as if he had never existed.

What people know about his inventions is limited to those before he turned 40. One of his publicly acknowledged discoveries was the "alternating current," which fundamentally transformed human life and ushered humanity into the Second Industrial Revolution— the electric age.

Even with alternating current, due to government and corporate collusion, various barriers and sinister tactics were employed to prevent Nikola Tesla from successfully applying for patents, forcing him to abandon his patent applications. Otherwise, he would have become the richest person in the world.

Great scientists like Nikola Tesla, whose remarkable technologies are deliberately concealed by the secular ruling class, involve massive, unimaginable interests and powers. This is a door that cannot be opened to the common people, behind which stands a ruling aristocracy enjoying endless power and wealth, almost at the pinnacle of human society’s pyramid, above even presidents and leaders of states.

If the SEG Serl Engine were to achieve widespread technological dissemination, the first impact would fall on the energy industries of countries around the world. Households would no longer pay for electricity, fuel, and other energy sources. Without purchasing power, there would be no productivity, directly triggering a massive earthquake in national economic systems and management structures, even leading to potential collapse. Oil-producing countries would be cast back into darkness, and various energy-related industries would suffer a fatal blow.

The major conglomerates that rely on oil and other energies wouldn’t let dangerous elements that disrupt the rules go unpunished. They might even use means that laws cannot prevent, as these individuals have the capability to initiate wars that could annihilate nations.

As research deepens, the categorization of the technological tree becomes increasingly diverse, with countless branches sprouting almost daily, growing more vast like the ocean with each passing day. Each tiny branch can hold mysteries that one may spend a lifetime exploring and still not uncover all the secrets. Even the three major powers—America, Russia, and China—lack the capability to establish a complete technological tree.

Only the organizers of Abyss Nirvana have the boldness to unite the cutting-edge technologies of different countries behind the scenes and bring them forth in the name of the competition for sharing.

The extremely stringent requirements for earning competition points and registration eligibility leave a glimmer of possibility for common people, making the exchange system somewhat fairer. While old powers that control restricted technologies communicate with each other, they also open a crack in the door for future nouveau riche.

Despite the brutal competition system of the International Pilot Death Match, every effort is rewarded; the spoils won at the cost of one’s life are indeed worth the price.

Lin Mo spent nearly half of his points to exchange for the SEG Serl Engine, a tangible technological piece of equipment, but only those in the special tier could obtain the complete and detailed blueprints.

This Serl Engine, which can truly harness the Serl Effect, has internal structures, materials, and craftsmanship that far exceed the most advanced industrial standards. Only a handful of top-tier high-precision research laboratories globally can assemble this engine, and the failure rate is quite high.

The costs and processing difficulties make it impossible for the Serl Engine to be widely applied as one might imagine, thus creating a high technological barrier that serves as a natural threshold to prevent this forbidden technology from spreading.

Since the organizers of Abyss Nirvana offered tangible equipment for points exchange, they naturally wouldn’t care if someone attempted reverse engineering it.

However, if someone were to do so, the time required to complete the entire reverse analysis would likely be close to the expiration date for unlocking this technology, wasting human and material resources as well as time with no return.

The “monstrous” variable wings fighter jet could take this opportunity to upgrade its technology through the equipment Lin Mo obtained from Abyss Nirvana. The frame structure of the aircraft had already reserved significant room for improvement.

All Lin Mo needed to do was place the Serl Engine inside the aircraft and integrate it into the energy circulation system. Once tested successfully, it would unleash its true power.

In many ways, the value of this Serl Engine exceeds that of the two F119-PW-100 dual-rotor turbo fan engines generously sponsored by America.

After installation, the biggest advantage gained is that even without the gold giant dragon’s "Void Magnetism" support, the anti-gravity field generated by itself can greatly enhance the "monstrous" fighter jet’s endurance.

It’s simple; the lighter it is, the less fuel it consumes, and the lighter it is, the faster it goes.

With these upgraded inherent features, this variable wings fighter jet can seamlessly reach the level of a Dragon Knight operating an external giant dragon attachment.

If Lin Mo were to pilot the "monstrous" variable wings fighter jet again for a mission like the recent one in Turkey, he wouldn’t need to return for aerial refueling; the full tank of fuel would be more than enough for the "monstrous" to dominate the airspace over Turkey.

As Lin Mo prepared to unlock the equipment, the gold giant dragon automatically processed the reservation for important items through the base’s information management platform, ready for him to collect his belongings once approved.

Previously, this operation required the use of the tactical tablet issued by the base. However, since the gold giant dragon received Coin Gold, it fully cloned the communication module and verification key of the issued tactical tablet.

When Lin Mo reappeared in the hangar, seemingly out of nowhere, Old Pan looked displeased.

This guy had just returned a day ago and had disappeared again. The members of the Aircrew Group had worked hard all night to give Lin Mo’s precious aircraft a simple tidy-up. To complete all maintenance would need at least two more working days.

This was not like washing a car; a quick spray, a bit of cleaning foam, and a final rinse and wax wouldn’t suffice. Maintenance for a fighter jet, especially advanced ones, involves intricate and complex internal structures, making upkeep incredibly challenging.

“Lin Mo, where are you going again?”

Old Pan’s stern glare was filled with killing intent, as if ready to bite someone at any moment.

“I’m not going anywhere, just reporting back to work!”

Lin Mo feigned innocence, acting like a diligent employee.

Unfortunately, his absentee rate ranked first among all the Special Forces, while the combined absentee rate of the second to ninth places didn’t even match his.

“Alright! Little Liu, Xiao Li, inform everyone; work is done!”

Old Pan turned around and shouted, then handed Lin Mo a mop, saying, “Major Lin Mo, I have a challenging revolutionary task for you: clean every inch of this hangar. I’ll come by in the morning to check. If I find even a speck of dust, you’ll be scrubbing it a hundred times, a hundred times!”

After finishing, Old Pan turned and left, ignoring Lin Mo’s gradually green face, swaggering off with the others.

“What on earth is happening?”

Lin Mo was confused, not realizing how his lack of organization and discipline was deeply criticized.

This was revenge, plain and simple revenge. The thousands of square feet of the hangar would really wear him out.

Old Pan, you can’t do this to someone!

The "monstrous" variable wings fighter jet remained in the maintenance position, half-open, while the gold giant dragon’s robotic part was still organizing tools beside it.

The Split Metal granted to the gold giant dragon for its splitting ability is practical, but it consumes the dragon’s mental recovery the more it divides. The larger the split, the greater the mental energy needed, especially for highly complex tasks, which also increases the expenditure of mental recovery.

If it exceeds a certain limit, control would be lost; if the split moves a certain distance away from the main body, it will lose control.

“Ha ha, the Dragon Knight has turned into a lowly cleaner.”

The robotic part said with a voice full of schadenfreude.

“Is that so?”

The Dragon Knight moved closer and shoved the mop into its hands.

“Gold Coin, you have a challenging revolutionary task…”

…

“Little Lin? Dinner time, oh!”

Old Pan returned to the hangar with a bulging plastic bag and suddenly stopped, his eyes wide as he looked around.

“Quick actions!”

The large hangar was neat and tidy, with every tool in place, gleaming brightly, and the floor was spotless.
