Chapter 345 A Win-Win Situation: Striving to Procure Domestic Products for Another World! (Bonus Chapter Today)

Everyone, it's almost the end of the month! Please vote with your monthly tickets!

The modern world, Zhuhe Logistics Base.

After signing his name at the end of the electronic document, Li Weiguo selected to send it.

Email sent successfully

This is the latest material transportation and allocation order and special equipment commuting requirements. Once it is issued from here, it means that the document has officially taken effect and has begun operation.

He leaned back in his chair, interlaced his fingers, and pulled up the most important document of the day: "Daily Summary of Contacts between the Otherworld Exploration Team and Various Departments of the Fire Dragon Dynasty Royal Family".

The screen lit up, and a bold headline immediately caught the eye—Preliminary Contact and Assessment of the Former Fire Dragon Dynasty's Exiled Royal Family.

Li Weiguo received the briefing in the morning.

However, in the afternoon, more detailed data and video materials were presented to him.

The corners of Li Weiguo's mouth twitched upwards almost imperceptibly.

-

Although this group of desperate former nobles caused them a lot of trouble, they were also the key that came to their doorstep.

His gaze shifted downwards, bypassing political value assessments, and focused directly on the biotechnology analysis section.

A report on the physiological functions of the Kingdom Knights was placed at the top, next to which was marked in bright red "Highest Priority".

On the data graph, the curve representing the cell's energy conversion efficiency rises steeply at an incredible angle.

The report's core conclusion is summarized in a few striking words: Knight Breathing Method Based on the Absorption of High-Dimensional Energy Particles.

Li Weiguo leaned forward slightly, the hint of a smile in his eyes instantly replaced by sharp excitement.

"Breathing techniques? The things I understand?"

After looking at it carefully, Li Weiguo smiled happily.

Compared to some gold coins, this is the real treasure.

Humans have long studied the differences between humans from other worlds and humans on Earth at the genetic level.

There are some differences between them, but not to the point of reproductive isolation.

This means that what humans in another world can do, humans on Earth can also do.

For example, as exploration deepens, phenomena that were once considered magic are being stripped of their mystique, revealing cold, hard scientific laws.

The principles behind the dwarven alchemical potions, those so-called "warrior enhancement potions," have been preliminarily deciphered.

The scientists included molecular structure models in their report, showing how several substances, which were highly toxic before synthesis, underwent a remarkable recombination in a specific energy field.

The report named it explicit energy chemistry, a completely new branch of chemistry that belongs only to that world.

Those energy particles floating in the air act as both catalysts and reactants, creating chemical miracles that would be impossible on Earth.

The knight's breathing technique is a biological technology that actively guides these energy particles to optimize the body at the cellular level to a certain level, thereby enhancing special skills.

It is fundamentally different from the health-preserving breathing techniques that have been passed down on Earth.

Our breathing method is optimized within a closed system, while theirs involves directly drawing fuel from the outside world and breaking through the walls to ascend.

"With this, the soldiers might be able to progress even faster in the future!"

He seemed to have already seen it: the soldiers of the future, each one of them would be a super soldier who had broken through the limits of human physiology many times over.

A stronger physique means greater individual carrying capacity and longer battlefield endurance.

Even without all modern equipment, they themselves are the most lethal weapon.

What terrifying power would be unleashed when such soldiers wield war machines that impose numerous limitations on the human body?

Li Weiguo recalled some data he had seen before.

These are memories of video footage of extreme tests for enhanced pilots.

What I saw before was a top pilot being strapped into a centrifuge, with countless sensors covering his anti-G suit.

The G-force readings jumped wildly, easily exceeding the 9G limit that represents the elite pilot's limit.

10G, 11G, 12G.

The heart rate and blood pressure curves in the corner of the screen, although rising, remained within a frighteningly stable range.

Finally, the number froze on "13G" and remained there for several tens of seconds.

The pilot's face was contorted by the immense G-forces, but his eyes remained open, alert, and focused.

He even followed the instructions precisely, operating the simulation equipment in front of him without any signs of blackout or dizziness.

It is important to understand that for an unenhanced body, even being exposed to a 13G environment for just one second could mean internal organ rupture and death.

Now, having been injected with the "Dwarf Warrior Potion," they have transformed this forbidden zone of death into a tolerable and normal combat environment.

More acute neural reflexes and stronger decision-making abilities—these data all point to one fact: human combat power is becoming increasingly stronger.

The most advanced fighter jets on Earth, whose performance limitations were overcome by the vulnerable human in the cockpit, naturally became even more powerful.

By the way, because the warrior's potion is so powerful, it makes the Academy of Sciences' proposal seem glaringly obvious.

Some statisticians and cost-calculators even believe that prioritizing the distribution of valuable soldier medicines to individual army soldiers is a huge waste.

However, this person was immediately cursed by others!

After this suggestion was made, several veterans from the Army and other branches of the military nearly overturned the table in their internal communications, vehemently condemning the incident.

On the battlefields of the future, no one is more elite than another; the life and combat effectiveness of every soldier are equally precious.

The deployment of medical supplies to soldiers, which must be carried out simultaneously across the entire army, has long been a task that must be completed.

After seeing this, Li Weiguo closed the report, and the office returned to silence.

In the darkness of the screen, his face, seemingly calm yet harboring a hidden rage, was revealed.

A brand new era has quietly arrived with the arrival of that ironwood ship from another world.

Ring ring~

Just as he was immersed in the blueprint for the new era, a sudden phone call broke the silence of the office.

Li Weiguo snapped out of his reverie, his gaze regaining its usual sharpness, and reached out to press the call button.

A familiar and capable voice came through the receiver; it was his assistant, Pan Guanyue.

Recently, he has not only been in charge of supplying goods and products to supermarkets in the other world, but also overseeing the research and development and production of materials for special ships used in the other world.

"Mr. Li, the coordination work for the large-scale production at the special steel plant has been fully completed. The detailed production plan and material proportioning scheme have just been sent to your email address via encrypted email. Please review and give your final approval."

"Understood," Li Weiguo's voice was calm and steady as ever. "You must personally oversee the process recently and have the expert team keep a close eye on every production link. There must be no oversight in quality control."

"Understood, please rest assured, everything will be foolproof!"

"How's it going with the supermarkets?"

"Mr. Li, the information Director Dou collected in the other world is excellent. We've already placed orders with a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in impoverished areas that have good reputations and treat their employees well. The negotiations are currently underway, and progress is very good!"

"Yes, we absolutely must secure a market with tens of millions of people in the future. You should also arrange for goods to be procured from the elves and dwarves to ensure mutual benefit and a win-win situation for everyone!"

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Industrial Cthulhu has never been a one-man show.

Cooperation with another world requires a long-term, mutually beneficial business.

The humans started at the large shopping mall in the Dwarven Tranquil Harbor, but everyone believed that the mall's supply of goods would definitely be able to be completed.

Without him.

Both dwarves and elves lived very impoverished lives at the bottom of society.

Human candies and various industrial products, as well as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, may not be as good as the handicrafts of elves and dwarves in some aspects, but these things have the advantage of being of good quality and inexpensive!

More is more!

Cheap is good!

My god, he's forever a god!!!

After the call ended, the office fell silent again.

Li Weiguo tapped his finger on the touchpad, and a newly arrived email window opened.

"Shopping malls are easy to manage, but the future road construction needs to be completed as soon as possible!"

His gaze swept quickly across the email subject line, his thoughts instantly returning to that crucial starting point—a mysterious technology obtained from the Dwarven Kingdom that could isolate him from attacks by marine life.

This is an important strategy for humanity to develop other worlds.

Thanks to Earth's powerful industrial mobilization capabilities, in just over ten days, a total of more than five thousand tons of various types of ships were dismantled, transported, and underwent various modifications and tests in the oceans of another world.

Everything was for the purpose of enabling humankind to control ocean routes.

However, while the initial sea trial report is good, it cannot be used for a long time and is not cost-effective!

Those energy arrays directly engraved on the steel plates of ordinary ship hulls, after being exposed to the violent energy environment of the deep sea of ​​another world, generally begin to show signs of energy circuit dissolution and node overload damage after a few voyages.

Test data clearly shows that ordinary Earth ship materials cannot withstand such high-intensity energy flow, and a brand-new special alloy that can be perfectly integrated with the energy array must be developed.

As we all know, materials science is an incredibly mysterious discipline.

This thing is way too expensive!

With the imminent opening of north-south shipping routes, many places will be able to communicate through the Devil's Sea. To ensure the safety of subsequent transportation, in addition to building a suitable railway network in coastal areas, humans also need to complete the shipping network as soon as possible.

This is also the task he recently assigned to Pan Guanyue: to coordinate the country's top steel mills and ship design institutes to assemble the most reliable team and accelerate the production of new steel materials that can carry the hopes of the new era.

His ultimate goal is to create a truly invincible sea fortress that can roam freely in that unknown and dangerous alien ocean.

correct.

Recently, scientists from the otherworld exploration team have also been conducting a series of analyses on warships and other objects.

The ship design institute currently has several conceptual reports, which include upgrading existing advantages and a design approach.

It's an unexpected retro trend that brings warships from another world back to the era of giant ships and cannons.

The designers boldly proposed abandoning the modern navy's pursuit of ultimate maneuverability and instead adopting ultra-thick solid armor and more powerful naval guns to ensure the warship's survivability in the most primitive and reliable way.

This seemingly regressive design concept is actually supported by cold and rigorous military logic, and is entirely based on intelligence obtained by frontline reconnaissance troops at the cost of their lives.

Recent reconnaissance and data collection reports all indicate that the oceans of this other world not only harbor deep-sea behemoths capable of tearing steel apart in an instant, but are also teeming with powerful and unpredictable magical attacks.

Once the energy shield, which serves as the first line of defense, fails, only sufficiently thick physical armor can buy the warship precious time to counterattack against the claws of sea monsters or sudden devastating spells.

This runs counter to the design philosophy of modern warships on Earth, whose key armor thickness has been reduced from meters-level composite armor to a mere few centimeters.

Modern naval warfare emphasizes beyond-visual-range strikes and non-contact combat. The survival of warships depends more on high-speed maneuverability, electronic jamming, and a multi-layered defense network consisting of radar and missiles.

But in this other world, humans must always be prepared to be ambushed at close range by enemies at any moment.

Of course, the report also suggests that "giant cannons and warships have too many weaknesses, and it is more appropriate to play to their own strengths." This line of thinking is to analyze the magical energy network of the other world more deeply and try to graft it onto Earth's technology tree to create a completely new offensive and defensive system.

Regardless of the direction, it foreshadows the consumption and devouring of massive amounts of research funds.

fine-

Thanks to my dwarf friend and elf friends for their help with the little treasure vault!

The human pioneering team seized a large amount of gold and various precious metals from the dwarven treasury. These could be used to purchase a large number of factories in the modern world that have a serious overcapacity.

These funds can not only save factories with massive overcapacity, but also pay wages to more people. At the same time, they allow Industrial Cthulhu to collect more taxes.

This is truly killing multiple birds with one stone.

Although the dwarves only have a population of over six million, the elves probably have no more than five million.

But the resources behind them are too abundant!

Don't be fooled by the fact that Cthulhu, a land of plenty and abundant resources, has never lacked anything since childhood.

However, as productivity increases rapidly and production relations change, the per capita resources in the East are extremely scarce.

When Industrial Cthulhu acquired various resources from millions of square kilometers of land in another world at near cost, it was able to say no to certain things in the modern world after obtaining these large quantities of resources.

For example, a certain African black dragon.

In the past, in order to obtain raw mineral and forestry resources from the other party at cost price, they had to reluctantly bring some low-quality international students here.

Even the various outrageous actions that make Heilongjiang superior to others.

However, since Industrial Cthulhu acquired new resources, it can now easily raise some requirements.

If the other party gets angry or upset, you don't need to worry about it.

Reduce purchase orders and slow down the procurement process.

This directly led to a significant reduction in the other party's tax revenue and a sharp decrease in the number of students coming to study here.

Let's see who can outlast whom!

Come on, let's hurt each other! Those who chicken out beforehand will have to take the initiative to act like grandsons!

Closer to home!

After putting down the phone, Pan Guanyue rubbed his temples, then picked up the documents and went directly to Baixiang Company, which was hailed as the "Pride of Chinese Products" decades ago.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, my surname is Pan, I've contacted you before —"

"Hello! I understand you need a large, stable volume of orders!"

"Yes----"

After some time, Pan Guanyue left.

Another stable supplier partnership has been established.

Ring ring~

"Hello, is Ma Yinglong fragrant hemorrhoid ointment for men? Okay—okay, sure—sure—purchase! No problem! Yes, no problem!"

Pan Guanyue hung up the phone: "How come some pharmacies have also gotten their hands on this?"

"Secretary Pan, it seems Ma Yinglong has some... that kind of relationship!"

Seeing his deputy's reaction, Pan Guanyue nodded: "No wonder! The pharmaceutical system in the new market needs to be stable. Ma Yinglong is a good option, but costs need to be centrally controlled."

"Okay, I'll give them a heads-up next time they come!"

"Um!

"Let's go, we'll meet the next one later."

This is one of the domestic brand suppliers that Pan Guanyue met with, and also a member of the future supply chain for the otherworldly supermarket system!

As various pioneering operations in the other world deepen, the logistics system, which originally only needed to supply a dozen or so people, is facing an explosive upgrade.

This explosive upgrade not only involved challenging transportation, but also various issues related to the supply of materials and the maintenance of cost relationships.

The investigation revealed that both dwarves and elves have an urgent need for various industrial products from Earth.

The human think tank, as well as those responsible for economic development and overall planning, predict that both races will inevitably have a strong demand for procurement in the future.

In other words, once both races see human products, their desire to purchase will erupt like a volcano.

Of course, this requires coordinating the wages of the dwarves and elves, and completing the construction work in the other world!

If the productivity of both races is increased, a market for massive industrial materials, large enough to consume tens of millions of people, will surely be created.

Providing supplies to 100,000 advance troops was merely a small step for the massive and terrifying production machine of Industrial Cthulhu.

Those orders for supplies didn't even cause a noticeable ripple on the statistical charts of the industrial system.

Subsequent resource allocation simply involves cleverly packaging and transporting the rare resources from the other world back to the modern world for upgrades, which means operating within the official system.

There might be some cross-dimensional transport procedures added, but the difficulty and cost would be negligible.

However, when the direction of demand reversed, and when Industrial Cthulhu needed to transfer massive amounts of resources from the modern world to the otherworld, shifting from special and military use to a full range of civilian applications, the situation changed fundamentally.

The number of orders began to grow exponentially, and the mountain of purchasing lists was enough to suffocate a medium-sized country on Earth.

However, for Industrial Cthulhu, the difficulty is—

Okay, there's absolutely no difficulty involved!!!

Hands on hips!

Extremely arrogant!

It sounds absurd to the point of being outrageous, but that's just how it is in Versailles.

The production capacity of this industrial behemoth is theoretically sufficient to meet all the material needs of the world's seven billion people from cradle to grave.

What truly strangles it is never the limits of the production line, but the insatiable market and the scarcity of raw materials.

Now, the pioneering team holds the dwarven treasury and the elven treasure.

The resources in this other world are incredibly abundant.

This means that humans can absolutely act as intermediaries, exchanging price differences – a multi-benefit plan!

They can become the most generous raw material suppliers, providing cheap raw materials to a large number of factories that suffer from expensive materials.

Alternatively, you can find companies with severe overcapacity and cash flow problems, purchase supplies from them, and then sell them in the other world, or distribute them directly.

With the porcelain factory operational, the economy naturally improved.

It's impossible to condemn all factories in the country. But we can specifically target and provide targeted support and protection!

For example, some long-established domestic factories, supposedly the pride of Chinese products, rely entirely on a few fifty-year-old livestreamers to maintain their image. These factories produce a variety of high-quality, cost-effective domestic products, but due to poor marketing, their prices remain low.

The purchasing company, like an angel holding a royal decree, descends upon enterprises whose inventory is overflowing with products and which are on the verge of bankruptcy.

"We can offer you raw materials at prices 10% lower than the international market price, and if the quality is suitable, we can even offer them at prices more than 50% lower."

"You need to sell us large quantities of products at cost price, and we will then purchase your supplies at a stable market price!"

The person in charge of the porcelain factory was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

"So what do we need to do?"

"Quality and quantity guaranteed! Stable production! Priority recruitment of skilled workers; some basic hazardous materials can be upgraded; the factory must achieve the corresponding number of skilled workers."

Upon hearing this, a factory manager with a buzz cut immediately stiffened and asked in surprise, "Purchasing such outdated items? Even our African brothers don't need them. Has something serious happened?"

These purchasers are all coordinated by their official management personnel.

Because the supplies being purchased were the most basic items, many astute older factory managers suspected that something big was about to happen.

"It's nothing serious! And, just don't ask things you shouldn't ask!"

Subsequently, Pan Guanyue confirmed a large number of suppliers, ensuring the direct completion of the supermarket supply chain capable of supplying tens of millions of items, which are absolutely essential for consumers and elves.

The pioneering team was directly offered an irresistible offer.

In exchange, the factory needs to hand over a large amount of its inventory and production capacity to the land reclamation team at a cost price that only accounts for interest and utilities.

As a result, the idle production lines started roaring again, the cobweb-covered warehouses were swept clean, and orders that were almost worthless instantly brought the company the working capital to save it from the crisis.

The pioneering team, on the other hand, received a massive amount of urgently needed supplies that were so cheap and of such high quality that it was outrageous.

From cement and steel bars to textiles and garments, from generator sets to prefabricated houses, from toilet paper to top-of-the-line ceramic products —

Meanwhile, within Cthulhu's body, as orders increased, the factory began to recruit ceramic workers again and reinstate them to their posts.

Before long, after receiving their salaries, the family meals, which had been filled with worries about making a living, became abundant once again.

The new taxes began to flow into the national treasury, enriching the starving local tax revenues.

This was a feast where all participants made a fortune.

Win big, win big!

Win mahjong, win!!!
