Li Weiguo stood alone in the empty corridor, looking out at the deep night.

After a long while, he muttered to himself.

"Magical elements... If modern manufacturing processes were applied to another world, even the most basic chemical reactions would be disrupted..."

"How do we manufacture engines and various chemicals in another world? How much of the modern technology we rely on for survival can they still produce there?"

Thinking about this gave Li Weiguo a terrible headache!

It was thought that even if the time portal was closed, the troops in the other world could continue to survive by relying on the logistical support of Project Fireseed.

I never imagined that another world would have such a complex environment.

"Do we really have to start all over again?"

Different world

Boom~
Just as dawn was breaking, the sound of explosions shattered the tranquility of the camp.

The mining team, with dark circles under their eyes and a mixture of exhaustion and excitement, boarded the wheeled transport vehicle.

They were quite far from the camp, and although they heard the explosion at night, they were not seriously affected.

The dark circles under their eyes are purely from the occasional artillery fire yesterday that irritated these greenhorns who have been training for two and a half years.

Silence reigned inside the carriage, broken only by the crunching of the tracks over the snow and the heavy breathing of the passengers.

“Squeak——!!!”

The convoy braked suddenly, and the huge inertia caused everyone to stagger.

"what happened!?"

"Enemy attack?"

The workers tensed up instantly, instinctively gripping their unloaded guns.

The heavy metal door of the carriage was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and a blast of cold air, mixed with gunpowder smoke and icy wind, rushed in instantly.

Li Jingze stood at the car door.

Having experienced real combat, he became like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed and its menacing aura palpable.

"Everyone get out of the car!"

His voice was hoarse, carrying an unquestionable sense of command.

Everyone scrambled off the vehicle, only to find themselves in a chaotic battlefield.

The snowfield was blackened by smoke, and there were huge bomb craters everywhere, broken metal armor, and the remains of various animals.

A dozen soldiers, exuding the same menacing aura as him, were silently clearing the battlefield, collecting some pale, twisted skeletons.

The lead soldier's gaze swept over Ke Cheng and the group of workers, finally settling on an officer beside him.

"Are these the miners we're supposed to protect?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander Li!" the officer saluted. "They're in your hands now!"

Li Jing nodded, said no more, and gestured for Ke Cheng and his coworkers to follow.

He pointed to the twisted skeletons and shouted to everyone, "Look closely at these things!"

A piercing sound rang out from Ke Cheng and the others' earpieces—noisy and sharp!
“Undead! A specialty of this world!” Li Jingze introduced.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Li Jing continued his explanation: "They prefer to launch attacks at night, following the wind and snow. Some also like to ambush from the snow."

"When you encounter them, stay calm and attack them!"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch, like a thunderclap.

"Comrades, now I have a question for you!"

"Do you want to live?!"

"think!!!"

"I really want to go home," Ke Cheng thought to himself.

"The guns and knives you have are your best weapons for self-defense. Your stab-proof vests and bulletproof vests are your first line of defense. Everyone must make sure these vital items are properly worn." Li Jing then put his hand to his ear and continued, "Just now, you were too quiet. Do you want to live?!"

"miss you!"

This time, it was a scream mixed with fear and the will to survive.

"Very good!" Li Jingze's lips curled into a smile.

"Comrades, do you want better performance, better KPIs, and a raise?"

"Yes!" came a few scattered, out-of-sync voices.

"Haven't you eaten? Gentlemen, do you want merit points?"

"think!!"

The sounds have become synchronized!
"Do you want to bring glory to your ancestors?"

"think!!!"

The workers' shouts grew louder and louder, and Ke Cheng, in his excitement, felt his voice become hoarse.

Do you want your descendants and parents to have a better life?

"think!!!!"

"Very good. From this moment on, you will learn how to shoot in this other world!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him, their faces tense, immediately carried several heavy military ammunition boxes and strode over.

"Click!"

The box was opened, and rows of neatly stacked No. 12 shotgun shells gleamed with a reassuring luster in the pale light of the day.

so big!

What a nice view!

It looks safe!

Seeing these things, Ke Cheng felt a sense of security he had never felt before.

"Comrades, fellow soldiers, please remember this!"

Li Jingze's voice was icy and chilling, yet it invigorated everyone like never before.

"Here, bullets are your life! And shotguns are your wives. Take good care of them, maintain them well!"

"Now, in groups of three, collect your ammunition and weapon lubrication kits."

"I'm giving you one minute to load the bullets into your guns!"

"Live-fire training in ten minutes!"

……

Modern world, otherworldly strategic logistics support department!
A debriefing meeting is underway!

"The research team's latest report indicates that the magical elements from another world do indeed alter our mature modern chemical synthesis processes, but this alteration is largely positive. They have requested further chemical testing and require more chemistry lab personnel!"

"How much?"

"The more the better, and it must be done in another world. The modern world has no magical elements that can interfere with chemical synthesis."

Li Weiguo pursed his lips: "Things need to be prioritized. If we rashly invest so much, when will the advance team get any returns?"

Although the advance team received strong support from the University of Tokyo, the university was under considerable financial pressure.

Exploring another world is a long-term business, and because it takes so long, the pressure to keep it secret is immense, making financial matters a crucial consideration.

Therefore, sometimes he had to make some trade-offs in his early stages of land reclamation and logistics, as well as in his work with the villagers.

Chemistry is the foundation of modern industry. If they cannot give Li Weiguo a perfect answer, he will at most allow them to synthesize the most basic and important industrial raw materials, and will not allow them to participate in more experiments in the short term.

"They said they were unsure, but if we mastered perfect chemical synthesis in another world, we might create new miracles in materials science."

Li Weiguo's face immediately darkened: "Have them list the priority research tasks for 'preserving the flame' in extreme circumstances. Stop with the fluff; I need the most practical research tasks at this stage."

"Yes, Commander!"

"Report on the rest."

"As of now... we need emergency mining teams and power infrastructure construction teams, and they are in place. The workers have all undergone basic military training..."

"The air quality in the other world has now been confirmed to be safe... As planned, all members will no longer be using battlefield isolation suits in half a month! Full protective isolation suits will be used in emergency situations..."

As information was reported one by one, everyone expressed their opinions and improved various tasks...
