Chapter 58 The Mysteriously Disappeared Supplies (Please read on, please recommend)

"Qian Jin, I'm going out for some fresh air!"

Zhang Zhongxiao went out the door, looked at the scenery outside the window, and then lit a cigarette.

"Give me one too!"

"I never expected the spring of materials science to come so suddenly!"

"It's not just materials science; the other three bottomless fields—oh, and medicine too!"

The two of them laughed.

Everyone knows that biochemistry, environmental science, materials science, and medicine are very important, but who knows the hardships these four major pitfalls and the suffering of medical students are?

Undergraduates in vocational programs deliver food, and master's students don't even have the qualifications to compete for civil service exams; only doctoral students have a chance to succeed.

More than a decade of study and training for medical students only adds to the despair.

"I heard the 'Mithril' research group next door has made more discoveries. Our findings this time, at least warrant a higher rating, right?"

Zhang Zhongxiao chuckled, then shook his head: "I don't know yet. All I know is that we need to outmaneuver others first, otherwise our rating will definitely not go up!"

Initially, the scientific research exploration team in the other world mainly conducted basic analysis and investigation of air, environment, and other factors.

As the exploration of the other world deepened, the Seven Sons of National Defense, scholars from top universities that had passed the review, and a large number of front-line technical workers all joined this "Project 2501".

To date, there are 10 research groups studying materials science.

The chemical, biological, and environmental categories within the four major sinkhole fields are also expanding.

According to the dean in charge of new materials, the number of materials science project groups alone is estimated to increase to 100.

They will first get some core components sorted out, and then send samples that will not leak information to their respective universities to pool their collective wisdom and research more great things!

"Okay! Let's hurry up and have a smoke. After we're done, we'll go for another push. This time, we need to publish a lot of papers so that Harbin University next door and the other six sister institutions can really see our strength!"

"Okay!"

The two individuals, along with the researchers involved in the new project, are currently in a state of excitement.

Everyone knows that the future is beckoning to them.

……

A few hours later, the report on the research of materials from another world was compiled and delivered to Li Weiguo's office.

Looking at the numerous requests to increase mining and the need for assistants, Li Weiguo lit a Yuxi cigarette: "The site selection for the power plant has been finalized. Have Commander Man and his men allocate manpower to protect them!"

"Okay, Commander!"

"Have all the members of the emergency mining team been selected?"

After the materials from the other world were verified by multiple parties and confirmed to possess various incredible possibilities, Li Weiguo not only expanded his scientific research team but also accelerated the construction of power generation, mining, and logistics bases.

Exploring another world sounds simple, but it needs to be done in secrecy, which puts a great strain on the mobilization capabilities of the D and the troops.

"The report indicates that the first batch of emergency mining teams was drawn from Baotou, the nearest city! They have been assembled, but they are not military personnel and need to undergo some safety and confidentiality training."

"Yes, as long as security and confidentiality are maintained, most state-owned enterprise workers can be trusted."

Although there are many corrupt officials in large enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, it depends on when they are found.

Just as the military must maintain its purity, a thorough investigation and a series of truth-revealing measures will easily expose corrupt elements.

Compared to the Hawks, who suffered a systemic collapse, the University of Tokyo has the ability to find fresh and healthy talent!

Li Weiguo tapped his fingers on the table: "The alien creatures are attacking us frequently. We must ensure the safety of these infrastructure workers!"

"Rest assured, Deputy Commander Su is keeping a close eye on this matter! Brigade Commander Fu of the Southern Campaign is personally overseeing the emergency training of the infrastructure workers in security capabilities."

Li Weiguo nodded in satisfaction, then signed his name and stamped the application materials and other research group applications. The document was then transmitted to a higher command post through the channels.

Once that was done, Li Weiguo asked, "Did any supplies mysteriously disappear during this logistical inventory?"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief: Two automatic shotguns we transferred have mysteriously disappeared, along with a thousand rounds of various types of ammunition!"

"The quantity has changed again, but it's still a complete set. This is the third time, isn't it?"

"The report is in command; yes, it disappeared during the third passage through the time portal!"

The movement of military supplies is a very sensitive matter, and modern troops will take inventory of the supplies after they arrive in the other world.

During the advance team's fifth large-scale transport of military and logistical supplies, the troops discovered that large-caliber weapons and artillery shells had mysteriously disappeared.

Then, on the second occasion, sniper rifles, flamethrowers, protective suits, and other supplies disappeared.

Only a few disappear each time, at most one or two bodies.

The discrepancy in the inventory of supplies immediately drew the attention of the logistics coordinator.

Now that he has disappeared for the third time, Li Weiguo has already connected some people to him.

"What's Number 1 been up to lately?"

"He's still wandering around the neighborhood; he's been learning to ride horses lately!"

"Horse riding? That's a great skill." Li Weiguo chuckled. "Any intelligence from overseas?"

"The bait we released attracted the attention of some insects, but because we guided it well, they misjudged the situation; there are only a few satellites hovering overhead!"

"That's good!"

……

In a modern office, it's late at night again!

Looking at the latest data report sent from Li Weiguo, as well as various needs for mobilizing scientific research resources, the group carefully reviewed it, exchanged ideas, and one of the liaisons dialed Li Weiguo's number.

"Your superiors have seen what happened to you! Like I said, you must keep this confidential."

"Report, maintaining confidentiality is our top priority!"

The head of the think tank nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, the materials from this other world are so rare. I will urge them to continue to improve the speed of mobilizing scientific research resources. We must also ensure that the coordination between related high-energy physics and cutting-edge military equipment is done well."

"Rest assured!" Li Weiguo patted his chest and promised, "The safety and well-being of researchers and infrastructure workers has always been our top priority."

"We trust your work! However, according to intelligence from our comrades on the secret front, the enemy is very anxious about our expansion of some sensitive projects. They're worried it's for support from our northern neighbor!"

"Are they just spouting empty rhetoric again?"

The strategist chuckled, "They're not stopping their other little antics either! We'll handle these things, no need to worry. But as I said before, security and confidentiality at Zhurihe must be top-notch!"

"Ensuring the logistics and safety of the pioneering team is your primary task."

"Okay!" Li Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, but then the person on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke again.

"Xiao Li, do you think the mysterious disappearance of some firearms and supplies last time was related to Target Number One?"

Upon hearing this, Li Weiguo was taken aback: "Huh? We can't be sure about that for now!"
