Chapter 118: Technology Transaction
Several minutes later, as the files finished downloading, the personnel and responsible individuals in this research and development center who had roughly reviewed the information became excited.
"It's actually a comprehensive set of manufacturing technologies for the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States. It not only includes electromagnetic catapult technology but also detailed technical data and construction parameters for various other aspects," the responsible person exclaimed excitedly.
While this person in charge and several other research experts were marveling at the exciting technical data in front of them, someone quickly noticed the message at the last page.
The message was not lengthy, just a few simple sentences. The gist of it was that a patriotic hacker organization provided some assistance to the country's national defense technology. It also acknowledged their involvement in the previously released documentary on the internet and expressed the intention to engage in future technology-related transactions with the country.
After reading this short message, these researchers and the department's person in charge, while marveling at the formidable and mysterious capabilities of the hacker organization named 'Yuan,' also felt a hint of curiosity about the mentioned technical transactions.
"Everyone, regarding the technical data and the content of this message that you just saw, I hope you won't mention a single word to anyone. I will immediately report this news to the minister and the top leader." The person in charge spoke with great seriousness, although in reality, even without his words, the personnel involved would not disclose any information externally.
After all, their ability to work in this department was sufficient to indicate that they were among the nation's top-level scientists, and they naturally had a high level of awareness about confidentiality.
In fact, when it comes to national defense security, our country can be considered one of the world's top players. Not to mention this experimental laboratory for national defense technology research and development, even information about various weapons and forces currently in service by the country is known to the outside world to a limited extent.
On the other side, after sending out the packaged technical data related to the aircraft carrier, Wu Hao did not continue monitoring. Instead, he resumed his study of the aircraft's stealth-related technology.
In fact, for the aircraft that Wu Hao wants to manufacture, all other aspects of technology and design solutions have already been settled. Only the last technology to overcome is the light and shadow refraction stealth technology for the outer shell.
This light and shadow refraction technology has long been researched in some laboratories worldwide, and some progress has been made. However, achieving this technology thoroughly and applying it to an aircraft still has a long way to go.
After all, even though Wu Hao has been researching for quite some time, the technology for light and shadow refraction to achieve a certain level of stealth effect has entered its final stages.
Given Wu Hao's current progress, it will take at most another week to complete. Then, he can directly instruct the base to start manufacturing. After completing the final critical steps, with his personal operation, the manufacturing of his first aircraft can be accomplished.

Given Wu Hao's current progress, it will take at most another week to complete. Then, he can directly instruct the base to start manufacturing. After completing the final critical steps, with his personal operation, the manufacturing of his first aircraft can be accomplished.
The next afternoon, after nearly a day had passed, Wu Hao finally received an email from a national secret department. The email primarily expressed the country's gratitude for the aircraft carrier data he provided, and it also indicated the nation's interest in the mentioned technology trade.
Wu Hao didn't find the content of the email strange; instead, he began to consider which type of technical data to trade with the country first.
Although Wu Hao planned to engage in some transactions with the country regarding defense technology, he wouldn't do so frequently. After all, too frequent transactions might give the impression that obtaining these technical data was too easy, potentially diminishing their value or even causing undesirable consequences.
Because Wu Hao remained anonymous and fabricated this interaction with the country through a hacker organization, if he gave the impression of being too powerful, it might trigger unfavorable reactions from the nation.
After all, for any country or government, the appearance of a mysteriously powerful entity with capabilities beyond imagination would undoubtedly raise suspicions and concerns.
Currently, Wu Hao might appear somewhat mysterious, but as long as the technologies he presented were existing worldwide and merely not yet mastered by China, it wouldn't have a significant impact.
Soon, after some consideration, Wu Hao had an idea: "The country is still finalizing the design of the 5th generation fighter jet. Apart from certain parameters that need repeated testing, it seems there are some challenges in the engine. I'll use this technical data for the first transaction with the country!"
Wu Hao was well aware of the ongoing development and deployment of fighter jets worldwide. Although he hadn't delved deeply into the specific technologies, it wasn't a difficult task for him.
For an advanced fighter jet, aside from its electronic devices and other related technologies, the most crucial component is undoubtedly the engine.
It can be said that solving the issue of fighter jet engines brings the manufacturing of an advanced fighter jet closer.
Not limited to fighter jets, any weapon, including tanks and naval vessels on land, relies heavily on essential propulsion systems.
In the realm of fighter jet engines, the technology the country possesses still lags behind the world's leading standards. If Wu Hao can help the country overcome this challenge, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on and contribution to the nation's defense industry.
After making the decision, Wu Hao spent the evening organizing a set of fighter jet engine design drawings, along with related technical data and parameters. The compilation of the technical data was comprehensive.
These technical data were replicated based on the most advanced fighter jet engines in the United States. Although it's termed as replication, all the technical information was identical.
Certainly, Wu Hao compiled these technical data himself because, for such technologies, he didn't need to resort to stealing from the U.S. technology database.
Even though Wu Hao could copy directly through intrusion, this would undoubtedly attract attention from the United States. If the U.S. took notice and Wu Hao sold this technical data to the country, there might be repercussions once the U.S. became aware. In such a scenario, the potential consequences would outweigh the benefits.
Now, with the United States completely unaware, once China gained control of the technology, it would be indistinguishable from self-developed and manufactured engines.
After all, fighter jet engines are quite similar; the differences lie mainly in some critical materials and minor variations in other aspects.
