Chapter 315 Large-Scale Logistics Procurement! They're back again! (Bonus Chapter)

Still reeling from the shock of the electromagnetic railgun, Zhu Yungui's inner fervor remained unabated for a long time.

That thing is a spear, a weapon that can pierce the sky! But an army needs more than just sharp spears; it also needs solid logistics to ensure that soldiers are well-fed, warmly clothed, and can quickly recover their fighting strength if they are injured.

Ultimately, war is about money, logistics, and comprehensive national strength.

"Mr. Zhu, this is the newly built food processing plant, which is already fully automated in production."

A man dressed in a suit, wearing glasses, and looking very refined came forward.

It was Li Jingze, who had disappeared for a period of time.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember that our domain name tracking service is highly reliable: ??????????.??????]

He was originally the battalion commander of a combined arms battalion under Commander Man, and he was an extremely versatile person.

However, he fought quite a few battles in the other world, and with the increase in actual combat, his infrastructure, especially his defensive construction capabilities, became very outstanding.

Some time ago, due to being on the front lines of command, he suffered some injuries and had to withdraw from the front-line operations.

Then he went from being a commander to being in charge of supervising logistics and production.

Zhu Yungui knew Li Jingze, nodded, and followed him through a newly established production line.

Even before others were outside, they could smell the distinctive aroma of food permeating the air.

He focuses on things that can quickly improve combat effectiveness and have the potential for large-scale deployment.

And these are not just weapons.

"This batch of canned fish uses fish found in Changhu Lake and nearby rivers. It's a type of silver-scaled fish discovered by the research institute led by Professor Li Donglai's team! Its flesh is plump and delicious, and it contains very rich energy. Most importantly, it can be farmed!"

Li Jingze handed over a can of food that had just come off the production line.

There were no extra labels, just a simple long string of military serial numbers.

Zhu Yungui took it and used the tools on it to pry it open.

Then, a rich, fresh fishy aroma wafted over, without the slightest fishy smell.

The fish pieces inside are large and whole, soaking in the clear broth, and just looking at them makes your mouth water.

He used his fork to take a piece and put it in his mouth.

The fish melts in your mouth, and an indescribable deliciousness explodes on your taste buds.

Even more remarkably, as the fish was swallowed, a barely perceptible warm current rose from my stomach and quickly spread throughout my body, seemingly easing the fatigue of the past few days.

"What a find!" Zhu Yungui's eyes lit up. "It tastes just like this! It's a pity that this special energy would almost disappear once it reached Earth, leaving only trace elements for improving physical condition and an extremely delicious flavor."

"There's no way around it, the rules of the two worlds are just too different." Li Jing pushed up his glasses. "But even so, the long-term effects of consumption on the soldiers' physical fitness are clearly visible. After tens of thousands of our soldiers took it, their physical fitness has already improved by more than six percent. If this continues, they might soon reach the physical fitness of those glacial tribes!"

Although the savages of the Ice River tribe live in very poor conditions, they are physically quite fit.

With just a little training, he could easily beat up the best special forces soldier in terms of hand-to-hand combat.

Some savages even claim to have mastered breathing techniques and other methods that, when combined with ample food and nutrition, can make a person stronger.

Unfortunately, humans don't understand those things.

Although they obtained a lot of information on enhancing physical combat abilities from the rescued slaves, this information was rather fragmented, and humanity did not possess any systematic means to enhance human combat capabilities.

Moreover, these things are currently unable to deal with powerful firearms.

Now-

As agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing in the other world gradually stabilized, they moved from the highly costly pioneering period to a stable development period.

These high-quality ingredients, which were previously only available to frontline soldiers, can now be supplied to more troops.

Zhu Yungui put down the can, a playful smile on his face: "Little Li, I've already predicted the future! You guys are probably going to take away the jobs of those military food factories on Earth~ I reckon they'll be in for a world of trouble if they find out."

"General Zhu is joking," Li Jingze laughed as well. "We are also thinking of the troops. In addition, I have already drafted a mutual purchase agreement between the two sides, and I hope the leaders of the Logistics Department will give us some guidance when the time comes."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"It's very simple, just a resource exchange," Li Jingze explained. "Those ordinary foods produced on Earth, while they don't have any special effects, taste good and can fill our stomachs. We can use the newly established Development and Finance Department to convert them into trade goods, and have the administrative staff sell them to the dwarves of Tranquil Harbor, or the savages of the Golden River Tribe, and later to the elves, and even the human world!"

Zhu Yungui's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Then, we'll use the resources we acquire, along with the high-energy food and medicine we produce ourselves, to prioritize supplying our frontline troops on Earth. Once production capacity is fully stabilized, we'll gradually expand this to the entire military!"

That's a brilliant plan!

Use things that are commonplace on Earth to exchange for real gold and silver in the hands of natives in another world, and then use this real gold and silver to support yourself, forming a perfect closed loop!

This way, the Earth won't be harmed, the pioneers will benefit, and the various races in the alien world, whose resources are artificially controlled and scarce, will be able to enjoy good things!

One fish, multiple ways to cook it!!!

A huge win!

"This plan is good. I'll mention it to my superiors later." Zhu Yungui nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "By the way, what about the pharmaceuticals? We need to keep a close eye on the results this time!"

"Haha, Mr. Zhu, this is an even greater achievement."

Li Jing immediately perked up and led Zhu Yungui, Su Mingjin, and the others to another area.

After being transferred by vehicle, they arrived at another area with constant temperature and humidity.

Upon arriving at the constant temperature and sterile room, we went through a security check before entering.

Then Zhu Yungui and Su Mingjin saw rows of labeled medicines inside.

"This is a military-grade anesthetic extracted from the otherworldly poison dart frog and the Ink Cloud Flying Serpent. It takes effect quickly, metabolizes rapidly, and has almost no side effects. This is a regenerating soft tissue extract, made into an external wound spray. It can stop bleeding within ten seconds and allow ordinary wounds to scab over and heal within twenty-four hours."

Li Jingze picked up a bottle of blue potion. "And this, this is a potion we seized from the elves and dwarves that can quickly restore stamina and energy. It's also a commonly used medicine by some combat units in this other world!"

"Are there any side effects?" Zhu Yungui asked directly.

"Uh, don't worry, this isn't something like a stimulant; it's a medicine with no side effects or long-term consequences."

Its main function is to increase the absorption affinity for energy particles.

"After taking it, the warriors will absorb energy particles faster, and when combined with some breathing techniques common in other worlds, the body can recover quickly."

"The feedback from special forces trials has been excellent. It allows soldiers to maintain peak physical fitness and focus for up to twenty hours under extreme conditions. Even if they are overworked afterwards, they will only be weak for a day at most. It's much better than those performance-enhancing drugs on Earth that rely on overdrawing on life force!"

Zhu Yungui picked up the bottle of blue medicine and looked at the shimmering liquid inside. It was as if he saw not medicine, but a series of steps for the soldiers to continuously restore their fighting strength!

"Have all of these been verified?"

"It has been verified. Through clues obtained from dwarves and elves who have been taking these drugs for a long time, as well as from the humans we recently rescued, and through analysis of those who have been taking these drugs for a long time, we found that they are physically strong and have increased efficiency in absorbing energy, without any other side effects."

"This is probably the most common and favorite medicine among the exhibitors in this other world! It's simple to make, costs only around two hundred yuan per vial, and can maintain its efficacy for a long time at temperatures ranging from -60 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. Warriors can wear it for extended periods during combat and training!"

How effective would it be on Earth?

"Yes, but the effect will be reduced by two-thirds!"

"The first batch of orders!" Zhu Yungui's voice was resolute. "We'll purchase 100,000 sets first, to equip 100,000 frontline troops with these supplies! Everyone on the reclamation team needs them. I want our soldiers to eat the best and use the best in this other world!"

He scanned the vast logistics base, his mind drifting back to the electromagnetic cannon, the various canned goods that could improve physical condition, the magical potions that could restore energy and stamina, and the various auxiliary drugs.

The pioneering team's strength accumulates at an alarming rate every day they stay in this other world.

Perhaps in a few years, they will possess the power to overturn the world.

Ten years of quiet preparation, honing our skills!

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!

Zhu Yungui took a deep breath. He knew clearly that before they could truly establish themselves in the other world and possess absolute—absolute—self-defense capabilities, every can of food and every vial of medicine here was a secret.

Unfortunately, these secrets cannot be revealed to the outside world for the time being, otherwise they would definitely cause a huge uproar on Earth.

After touring the pharmaceutical section, Su Mingjin glanced at the time and suggested with a smile, "President Zhu, we've been looking around all morning, and it's almost lunchtime. How about we try the food at our Pioneers' Canteen?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yungui's face lit up with anticipation: "Great! I've long heard that the reclamation team's food standards are the highest in the entire army. Today I'll see for myself!"

Food from another world is eaten in another world, and it not only enhances the taste but also has various magical effects.

This is already an open secret among the pioneering teams.

"Haha, of course! I guarantee you'll want more after you try it!" Li Jingze chimed in, joining in the fun.

"Alright, let's go then. We'll eat whatever the soldiers eat, and experience the frontline treatment!"

The group walked out of the Hengwen Base in high spirits, chatting and laughing, and headed towards the canteen along the wide cement road inside the base.

Just then, a sharp, high-pitched cry pierced the sky without warning.

"Hiss—!"

The sound was extremely strange, like heavy metal rubbing against each other at high speed, and it also carried the roar of some kind of creature, with extremely strong penetrating power.

Zhu Yungui suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A sense of dread, originating from the depths of his blood, instantly surged through his body, as if he were being watched by an ancient predator lurking at the top of the gene chain, and the hairs on the back of his body stood on end.

This is a sound that no known living being on Earth could produce.

Zhu Yungui seemed to have heard of it before!

He asked in a deep voice, "That was—the roar of a demonic dragon?"

The security guards who were also in this other world for the first time immediately became alert, their hands unconsciously reaching for their waists.

"Oh, it's nothing, everyone, don't be nervous." Su Mingjin waved her hand with a smile, as if she was used to it. "It's probably that little green guy who's hungry and is urging us to eat."

F

"Little guy?"

"Yes, that demonic dragon!"

Li Donglai, who had come along, adjusted his glasses and laughed, "The little demon dragon's voice has been getting louder and louder lately!"

'

"I've heard they've recently made some new discoveries from its scales and blood samples; I definitely need to go check them out!"

"That's easy," Su Mingjin said calmly, glancing at the time. "President Zhu, let's eat and drink our fill first. It's fed on a regular schedule, and after it barks a couple of times and has eaten and drunk its fill, it'll probably be fast asleep! By the time we finish eating and go over, it will have finished digesting its last meal and should be awake!"

Zhu Yungui nodded, his anticipation for the demonic dragon growing stronger.

The feeling of palpitation from that shout was so intense.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a charismatic and incredibly powerful superhuman creature.

Fortunately, it couldn't withstand the powerful attack!

As the group continued towards the restaurant, a higher-ranking logistics and purchasing manager curiously inquired, "President Su, how big is that legendary little dragon now? Is it still as close as the two warriors who first discovered it?"

"That's right." Su Mingjin nodded, her tone somewhat solemn. "The two warriors are now its Dragon Mother, and they should have established some kind of spiritual connection that transcends language. Unfortunately, apart from Ming Yufei and the other two, anyone who dares to approach it without guidance will probably be considered an intruder."

"An intruder? It wasn't so bad-tempered before, was it?"

I guess he's tired of being masturbated!

The little dragon is the group's darling. She's beautiful and lovely, just like a big cat. Anyone who sees her gets excited and wants to pet her.

Then, because there were too many people in line, the clever little dragon got annoyed.

From now on, as soon as someone gets close, they'll unleash a burst of dragon fire.

Although the demonstrations were very significant in their warning effect and no one was ever injured, the intentions were quite clear!

So ever since the little dragon started breathing fire, anyone who wants to interact with it can only do so at a specific time and place, and must also give it appropriate food as a reward.

otherwise----

One breath of dragon flame and it would be the least of your worries!

Su Mingjin paused, not answering directly, but instead smiling and asking, "President Zhu, you've been so busy with official duties, you probably haven't had time to look at the recent briefings about it, have you?"

Zhu Yungui was taken aback: "What? That little demonic dragon—has started hurting people frequently now?"

Su Mingjin's face showed a complex smile, a mixture of pride and a hint of awe: "Injure people? President Zhu, you're underestimating it."

He held up one finger and gestured.

"The dragon is very strong now; it has passed its juvenile stage! A single breath of its breath can easily ignite wet wood. If a person were to be hit by it, they simply couldn't withstand it."

"Hiss—" Zhu Yungui gasped.

Dragon breath that can burn wet wood?

In just a few months, he's grown this much?

Seeing Zhu Yungui's shocked expression, Su Mingjin added, "President Zhu, when you arrive, you must comply with the security protocols, because anyone who gets close to you, except for those two soldiers, could be attacked. This is no joke."

"I'm late!" Zhu Yungui said with some annoyance.

"President Su, it's not too late! It's changed far more than that lately. After dinner, I'll take you to see it for yourself. You'll see for yourself what kind of amazing treasure we've brought back from another world!"

While chatting, everyone had already arrived at the cafeteria.

The food at the Pioneers' Canteen truly lived up to its reputation.

The food is not luxurious and does not employ the complicated cooking methods found on Earth, but its strength lies in the ingredients themselves.

A plate of stir-fried exotic greens, vibrant and juicy, bursts with an indescribable fresh sweetness the moment it touches the tongue. As it slides down the throat, a warm current seems to flow through the body, relieving some of the fatigue from days of travel.

Zhu Yungui picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, chewed it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This food is really good to eat here—"

"Yes, that's the power of energy particles! Our warriors are so strong now, and they deserve a lot of credit for that!"

"Energy particle enhancement—" Zhu Yungui muttered to himself, taking another bite of the steamed silver-scaled fish caught from Changhu Lake.

The fish meat is firm and springy, with no muddy taste whatsoever, only pure freshness.

The meal put Zhu Yungui in a great mood, and it also heightened his anticipation for the little dragon he was about to see in person.

After a satisfying meal, the group set off again.

"Let's go see our extraordinary treasures," Zhu Yungui suggested. Although he was over sixty years old, his steps were lighter than those of a young person.

Su Mingjin smiled and led the way.

The little dragon lived near a steel mill, so the closer you got to where the little dragon lived, the higher the temperature seemed to rise.

Because the dragon roams here, you can even smell a strange odor of sulfur and metal mixed in the air.

Before we even reached our destination, a series of intermittent "caw, hissing" sounds, which sounded like the deep, satisfied gurgling of a creature, drifted over.

This sound was completely different from the previous earth-shattering shriek.

If the previous roars were those of someone starving and furious, now they sound more like—a whining or pouting?

Just as Zhu Yungui was wondering what was going on, a soldier rushed out from around the corner ahead, his face full of excitement.

"Hey—Mr. Su—Mr. Su, you really are here!" The man ran up, breathless, pointing behind him, his words slurred, "He! He's here! You were almost here too!"

Su Mingjin's smile vanished instantly, her eyes sharpening: "Who's here? Explain!"

"It's that—that mysterious person!" The researcher was sweating profusely. "He...he's feeding the little dragon! He said—he said he wants to talk to you and General Manager Zhu!"

"What?!"

The security personnel behind Su Mingjin and Zhu Yungui immediately placed their hands on the weapons at their waists.

Zhu Yungui was also taken aback!

Zhu Yungui abruptly turned to look at Su Mingjin, only to find that the other woman's face also held a mixture of shock and...

A complex expression of headache and a hint of helplessness.

"How did he suddenly reappear again?" Su Mingjin muttered under her breath.

Clearly, this is not the first time.

"Is it him?"

"It's probably him. He actually knew you were here. It seems he's been keeping an eye on our actions all along!"
