Chapter 376 Super Rifle
Li Chenglong slept until 3 p.m. As he stepped out of the living room, he saw Susie teaching the little boy to read. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "So young and already learning to read? Can he even understand it?" Susie immediately replied, "Lord, Yunhao is very smart. Come and see for yourself." She then took out a children's literacy book, opened it, and pointed to each character, asking Li Yunhao to read them. To Li Chenglong's surprise, his son not only recognized the characters but also pronounced them very correctly.
Li Chenglong originally didn't want his son to start learning so early, after all, he was only one year and three months old. But Yunlan disagreed. She thought that since her son was smart and wanted to learn, then let him learn. After picking up his son, Li Chenglong kissed him on the cheek and said, "Su Xi, you did a great job. You've worked hard these past few days. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I still have some things to take care of. I'll have to trouble you to play with the little guy for a while."
He gently placed Li Yunhao on the sofa and went to the master bedroom's bathroom to wash up. After leaving the house, Li Chenglong saw a long line of Level 11 ability users who had received the notification in front of the city lord's office. They all greeted him when they saw him coming.
After greeting everyone, Li Chenglong said, "Each person can only receive five of these potions. Using more will have no effect. We have stipulated that each person must use their ID card and spend points to redeem them. As for their effects, I guarantee you with my own reputation that they will be 100% the same as we said before, and Yunlan and I have already tried them."
After speaking, Li Chenglong went to the assistant's office in front and saw Wang Jie using a crystal computer to make a record. After swiping her ID card, she was given a slip of paper. The person who received the slip of paper would then go into the office inside to collect the super potion. After entering the office, Yun Lan distributed the super potions based on the slip of paper, saying, "You're awake. I still have forty people to distribute them to. Wait for me."
Everyone received five super potions, mainly because they heard that these potions could be exchanged from Lilith at the Dawn Tower, and they didn't want to miss out on them next time. After Yunlan finished distributing the potions, she marked the slips and threw them in the trash can. Half an hour later, all level 11 ability users had received theirs.
After everyone left, Yunlan took out her crystal laptop, Noah 01, and opened an interface for Li Chenglong to see. She said, "The super potions for all 164 level 11 ability users in Dawn City have been distributed. Next, it will be distributed to the 1088 level 10 ability users."
Li Chenglong nodded: "Okay, but there are a lot of level 10 ability users, and we don't have that many potions right now, so let them exchange and collect them in batches, 100 people a day. That way, by the last day, my space factory's super potion production line will be able to produce enough potions." Yun Lan agreed to this.
Li Chenglong laughed and said, "You still have to get off work here. My space factory has just produced the first super rifle. I need to test it and have someone film it. Also, starting today, energy rifles will no longer be produced. They are too expensive and their performance is not as good as the current super rifles."
Yunlan looked at the blazing afternoon sun: "Even if you ask me to go, I won't go. It's too sunny now. Okay, you should go now. Come back and cook dinner tonight. I told Xue'er and Han Xiaoling when they came over that we'd all have dinner together tonight." Li Chenglong glanced at his watch: "Okay, I'll definitely be back to cook dinner before 5:30 this afternoon."
As Li Chenglong went downstairs, he called Zhao Liying and Yang Liu, asking Zhao Liying to bring two members of the Special Support Section and Yang Liu to bring 10 special forces soldiers to go with him to test the new weapon.
Fifteen minutes later, the group arrived at an undeveloped plot of land within Dawn City. Li Chenglong even activated his left eye, the True Dragon Eye, to ensure no one was around before taking out the super-powered rifle. Scanning for anyone before testing wasn't for secrecy, but to prevent accidental injury. This had happened before; when Wu Gang led his men out for shooting practice, several teenagers were watching and were accidentally wounded. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary rifle, and the ricochet hit their legs, causing minimal damage. The children recovered after treatment by a wood-type ability user.
Looking at the super-powered rifle, everyone noticed that its appearance wasn't significantly different from the energy rifle, only more technologically advanced. Li Chenglong demonstrated and explained, "The super-powered rifle is 88 centimeters long overall, reaching 108 centimeters with the extended stock. It cannot be equipped with a bayonet. It has a multi-functional scope that allows for infrared aiming and 2x to 8x magnification. Furthermore, because this scope contains a miniature crystal computer, it automatically displays data such as wind speed and distance to the target, and can even perform automatic aiming, greatly reducing the difficulty of use."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The super-powered rifle weighs 3.5kg, and 4kg with all the extended components installed. It has a maximum range of 1200 meters and an effective range of 900 meters, which is much farther than the energy rifle. As for the power supply method, it is the same as the energy rifle. It can be powered by crystals or by its own energy. However, the energy bullets fired have changed. In the three-round burst mode, it fires three light orbs, and in the single-shot mode, it fires a laser beam."
He continued, "The advantages of this gun can be summarized as greater power, lower energy consumption, and lower cost. My space factory can now manufacture 500 super-powered rifles a day, and the cost of one super-powered rifle is 3 blue crystals. Well, no matter how much I say, it's better for everyone to try it out for themselves." With that, Li Chenglong took out five more super-powered rifles and let everyone start testing them.
Zhao Liying and two members of the Special Mission Support Section were filming with cameras. Li Chenglong said that the super rifle would also be sold to the public in the future to obtain a large number of crystals.
Ten minutes later, Yang Liu and the others came over excitedly and said, "Captain Li, this super-powered rifle is much stronger than the energy rifle. Its power is at least 50% greater, while its energy consumption is reduced by half. The key is that when we level 11 ability users used the previous energy rifle, it would vibrate, as if it couldn't withstand such strong energy. But this gun doesn't do that at all."
Seeing everyone's satisfaction, Li Chenglong was very pleased: "From now on, the super-powered rifles will only be issued to level 8 and above ability users, so that they can play their best role. Level 5 to 7 users will continue to use the original energy rifles, and level 1 to 4 users can use the crystal rifles."
After completing the test shot, Li Chenglong didn't take it back, but let Yang Liu and the others stay. Because they still needed to cook dinner, Li Chenglong announced that everyone was dismissed and left with Zhao Liying, Su Yunjin, and Jiang Xin.
As Li Chenglong walked, he reviewed the video he had just filmed and was quite satisfied. He then said, "When you get back, send the video verbatim to officers at the regimental or deputy regimental level and above in the military headquarters using the computer in the Central Information Management Department. I want to hear their opinions." Zhao Liying nodded, indicating that she would handle the matter immediately upon returning.
When they got home, it was exactly 5:30 pm. Li Chenglong asked Susie to help him tie his apron while he carefully washed his hands. Then Susie and Han Xiaoling picked and washed vegetables, Li Xue chopped vegetables according to his instructions, and he was busy at the stove.
Yunlan held her son and occasionally placed the stir-fried dishes she had prepared on the large table in the living room. Although there was a dining area outside their kitchen, the table was relatively small and fixed to the ground, making it inconvenient to move. Therefore, the family always ate in the living room.
Soon after, Qi Guoan and Qin Fangyu arrived. The elderly couple took Li Yunhao from Yunlan and started playing with the little guy.
At 7 PM, besides Zheng Yong and his wife, ten other people including Shen Menghua and her daughter sat in a large circle, eating and chatting together, enjoying a pleasant dinner. At the table, Shen Menghua shared some good news: after observing for so long, with everyone's support and her daughter Cao Yuechan's consent, she had decided to start a family with Zheng Yong. This announcement immediately received blessings from everyone present.
However, she also emphasized that now was not the time to get married; they should wait until the end of the apocalypse. Zheng Yong, who was standing next to her, agreed, adding that they must work even harder to help Li Chenglong and the Dawn Army defeat the enemies inside the Earth and in outer space as soon as possible, and end this apocalypse.
