In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

Seeing that the people of Daxia did not deny it, more and more foreign soldiers began to shout the name "God Su".

The sound waves grew louder and louder, even drowning out the roar of the heavy helicopter engines overhead.

Su Ran hadn't expected that his reputation among this group of foreign legions would reach such an almost fanatical level.

The transport plane's propellers were still spinning.

He turned his head and glanced at the crowd outside the police line.

They were 500 meters apart.

In that instant, Martin instinctively lowered his head.

Su Ran said no more and strode towards the core command area of ​​the base.

Martin watched that retreating figure, his palms sweating.

The crowd began to disperse.

Once the important figures entered the command area, there wasn't much to see outside.

"Let's go back to the tent."

Hans patted Martin on the shoulder and exhaled a puff of white breath.

"With this weather today, even if Chen Wu issues a mission, I don't want to go out."

……

Let's turn our attention back to Su Ran.

The lieutenant colonel stepped aside to lead the way.

"Advisor Su, the command center is ready."

Su Ran nodded slightly and stepped forward.

Following behind him were several large engineering experts with gray hair and thick glasses.

Su Ran's trip to Europe this time was not to inspect the progress of the hunt on the front lines.

His trip was to implement a new plan he had finalized with Qian Liye and Li Guodong three days earlier—an overseas resumption of work plan.

Let's go back three days.

Kunlun Base, Small Conference Room No. 3.

The door was pushed open.

Qian Liye walked in, clutching a stack of unfinished material reports.

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and slammed the report onto the table.

"Advisor Su, you'd better have something important to say."

Qian Liye picked up the cup on the table and poured himself a glass of water.

"The Supply Department now even has to queue and time it up to go to the toilet, and I still have a ton of documents to process."

Li Guodong sat opposite him, blowing steam from his thermos, listening silently without interrupting.

Su Ran pushed a handwritten outline between the two of them.

"I have a way to solve the problem of insufficient production and supply of materials."

Su Ran spoke calmly.

Qian Liye stopped flipping through the documents.

He looked up, his gaze lingering on Su Ran's face for two seconds, before picking up the paper.

The outline had a few lines written on it.

The solution is very straightforward.

Do not move the production line.

Resume production directly in abandoned heavy industrial zones overseas!

Use local materials, manufacture locally, and arm locally!

This method is simple and straightforward.

After reading it, Li Guodong put down his cup and frowned.

"Xiao Su, there's a high risk involved in doing this."

His knuckles tapped on the table, making a clicking sound.

"Although our Great Xia's Awakened Team is elite, its numbers have always been a weakness."

The reason we can maintain such a long front on the global battlefield and stabilize those foreign bases ultimately lies in our monopoly on crystal energy weapons.

Li Guodong leaned back in his chair, his professional habits forcing him to consider the worst-case scenario.

"At this stage, we cannot achieve 100% control over overseas areas."

The remnants of the former European governments are all hiding in the survivor camps below.

On the surface, they follow the lead of the Great Xia, but behind the scenes, they keep a close eye on our technology.

Once we set up production lines directly overseas and recruit foreign workers on a large scale, technology leaks are inevitable.

Once they build guns and cannons, they will become knives aimed at us.

Li Guodong embodies the typical mindset of an old-school national security officer, and is extremely wary.

After listening, Su Ran placed her hands on the table, crossed them.

He did not refute it.

"Old Li's concerns are valid."

"But let me ask you, what is the core of our crystal core weapon?" Su Ran asked.

Li Guodong paused, stunned for a moment.

Qian Liye slammed the outline back onto the table and spoke first.

"It is the 'Heart of Crystal Energy'."

"That's right!"

Su Ran nodded and continued,

"The violent energy contained within the crystal core is something that ordinary precision machine tools simply cannot handle."

Without this device, the crystal core is just a rock containing energy.
