Or a 60ft bridge that takes three minutes to build and can carry a tank over ten different rivers in just one day. A plane that can fly at supersonic speeds, land vertically and not show up on radar. Or a state-of-the-art GPS, 18 wheels and caterpillar tracks, which also has the technology to help soldiers survive on the front line. In fact, who knows what you’ll achieve.
