Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Chapter 169 Can this thing really stop bullets?

As the supplies arrived in batches, Ma Hongwei began to go to the warehouse time and time again to receive them and store them in his storage space.

Although the current warehouse is more than capable of holding all these supplies.

But those night vision devices and bulletproof products are quite valuable, and Ma Hongwei didn't want them to be stolen.

Although there are fewer thieves in modern society, they are not completely gone.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

These goods are crucial to the safety of the soldiers.

As for the rice and canned goods, Ma Hongwei waited until they were all present before putting them into his storage space.

This time, the storage space was naturally filled to the brim.

During this period, Ma Hongwei finally found a suitable location for the warehouse he planned to build and leased it for twenty years.

Once a suitable construction team is found, construction can begin immediately.

Ma Hongwei wasn't worried about this.

Because of their experience in building the Red Flag Canal, Lincheng has no shortage of construction workers.

After the reform and opening up, it was said that 100,000 migrant workers left Taihang Mountain.

There are many contractors across the country, and they are all from Lincheng.

Ma Hongwei's own father used to be a contractor, participating in the construction of subway projects in Beijing and Shenzhen, as well as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

Unfortunately, his father was in a partnership with someone else and died of cancer midway through the partnership, making it impossible for him to compete with the other company.

While Ma Hongwei's father was recuperating at home, he asked his uncle to help look after him, but the uncle was beaten up by the other family.

Clearly, the other party did not want to continue the cooperation and intended to keep all the benefits for themselves.

This is exactly what the Ma family is worried about.

In addition, Ma Hongwei's father also needed money for medical treatment at the time, so he had no choice but to withdraw his shares.

Even several of Ma Hongwei's father's childhood friends were construction foremen.

There is no shortage of construction workers in Lincheng.

……

Soon, the cooldown time of the Time-Space Rift will be zero again.

Xia Weiwei had already changed her clothes and was ready to travel through time.

Ma Hongwei stepped forward, took Xia Weiwei's hand, and activated the control panel and the time-space teleportation.

[Bound Hosts]: Xia Weiwei (female, 22 years old, born in 1915), Ma Hongwei (male, 26 years old, born in 2000)

Current time and space: 2026.

[Anchoring Time and Space]: 1937.

Storage space: 800 cubic meters (10 meters long, 10 meters wide, 8 meters high, upgradable)

[Time-Space Teleportation Countdown]: 00:00:00

[Simultaneous Space-Time Teleportation]: In the same space-time, two hosts can use the teleportation function to directly transfer to the other person's side. This action will not consume any space-time teleportation attempts.

"mua~"

Xia Weiwei kissed Ma Hongwei on the cheek, waved, and said, "Darling, I'm going now, bye-bye!"

With that, she released Ma Hongwei, stepped into the ripples of time and space, and disappeared.

……

Another time and space.

Inside the adobe house.

Division Commander Liu and Deputy Division Commander Xu came here again.

"Buzz!"

The void twisted and Xia Weiwei appeared out of thin air inside the house.

"Commander!"

As soon as Xia Weiwei appeared, she immediately greeted her.

"Xia, welcome back!"

Division Commander Liu also greeted him with a smile.

"Commander, I have a report to you."

Xia Weiwei introduced, "This time when he came back, Comrade Hongwei purchased a total of 306 tons of rice, 26.05 tons of braised beef canned food, 23.58 tons of black bean dace canned food, and 15.75 tons of yellow peach canned food."

"306 tons of rice?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Division Commander Xu couldn't help but exclaim, "This space can hold so much rice! Our newly built granaries aren't even finished yet, and I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army headquarters will have to store a large batch of it."

"Even the canned goods have changed. They've gone from braised pork cans and luncheon meat cans to braised beef cans and black bean dace cans."

Commander Liu remarked with a sigh, "And what's more, they even gave us an extra can of yellow peaches! That's not cheap!"

Before the full-scale Japanese invasion of China, a can of domestically produced canned yellow peaches cost 0.7-0.9 yuan.

Imported canned fruit from foreign brands can cost 1.5-2 yuan per can.

This price is even in a port city like Shanghai.

When transported to Shanxi Province, the price of a regular can of food is 1.8-2.5 yuan.

At that time, the price of a pound of millet was only 0.1 yuan, which means that a can of yellow peaches was equivalent to more than ten or even twenty pounds of millet.

At that time, one denomination of Chinese currency could buy 3-4 catties of pork.

It can be said that canned food during the Republic of China era was an absolute luxury, something that poor people simply couldn't afford.

After the war began, transportation and raw material costs skyrocketed, and prices rose by 50% and 100%, respectively.

Even teachers and those working at the grassroots level are reluctant to buy it.

"Canned yellow peaches aren't expensive!"

Xia Weiwei said, "This much only costs a little over 25000 yuan, which is much cheaper than canned meat."

顿了顿,她继续说道:「对了,首长,这次我还把上次买到的12000顶棉军帽、12000双牛皮棉靴、18000套保暖内衣、10500套夜视仪、20000个防弹插板、10000件战术背心、10000顶防弹头盔、2000个手持防弹盾给带来了。」

Listening to Xia Weiwei rattle off a long list of supplies like reciting a menu, Commander Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "There's still so much?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu asked, "Comrade Xia, are those bulletproof shields and helmets you mentioned the kind that can stop bullets, as I understand them?"

"Can it stop bullets?"

Commander Liu immediately became interested and turned his gaze to Xia Weiwei.

"Sir, I've seen it in the video; it really can stop bullets. But seeing is believing, so you should test it yourselves!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she casually waved her hand, and a black helmet, a black bulletproof plate, and a black shield appeared in the room.

Deputy Division Commander Xu casually picked up the bulletproof plate, tapped and weighed it, and said, "It doesn't seem to be made of steel. Can something so thin and light really stop bullets?"

"Old Xu, don't underestimate future technology!"

Commander Liu reminded him.

In any case, it's a product of decades later.

Nature cannot be compared to this time and space.

"Ha ha!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu laughed and said, "Although I had my doubts, reason tells me that I must believe it."

"After all, we have witnessed many incredible things before."

He envisioned a small mobile phone that could not only take photos, record videos, perform calculations, take notes, and play videos.

When there is a signal and internet access, video calls can be made directly even when people are thousands of miles apart.

There are many other functions that he doesn't even know about.

In the future world, even nuclear weapons capable of destroying the world exist, let alone bulletproof clothing.
