Chapter 463 Technical Exchange
Upon hearing Li Chenglong's words, the three leaders exchanged glances, thinking that 5 tons of supplies was already the limit, and what else could they possibly offer?
Li Chenglong glanced at the sun overhead. Although it was October and the sun wasn't so strong anymore, he still felt a bit uncomfortable standing in it all morning. He smiled and said, "Comrades, it's already 1 p.m. Let's eat and talk, but these matters are somewhat confidential, so we need to find a quieter place."
Liu Qiang laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, we really should eat. Look at me, I'm so excited I don't even feel hungry. I'll go arrange it right away, you guys wait a moment."
Twenty minutes later, the three leaders, Li Chenglong, and Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya sat in a quiet room. Seeing that Li Chenglong seemed a little surprised that the two sisters, Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya, had been following them around, the deputy commander of Zhao Guo smiled and said, "These two girls are actually my biological daughters. Don't worry, they never say anything out of line."
Li Chenglong nodded in sudden realization; no wonder the two girls' features resembled those of Zhao Guo. As they ate and chatted, Liu Qiang handed over three level 11 crystals to Li Chenglong as payment for the 50,000 tons of supplies.
After casually accepting the crystals, Li Chenglong ate while introducing the other items he was selling. These items were all manufactured in the former space factory or were discarded by Dawn City. Among them were super alloy knife manufacturing machines, reinforced rifle manufacturing machines, crystal battle knife manufacturing machines, crystal bullet manufacturing machines, crystal rifle manufacturing machines, crystal battle vehicles, first-generation crystal generators, and third-generation crystal generators.
The other five people listened with surprise. Although the technological development level of this Earth was more advanced than that of Li Chenglong's place, they had never heard of these things before.
Right after finishing their meal, Commander Liu Qiang eagerly took Li Chenglong to an arms factory, wanting to see the treasures there. Li Chenglong didn't waste any time and brought out all the manufacturing machines. Then, according to his request, Liu Qiang had the soldiers deliver various metals and parts, as well as different grades of crystals needed for these machines.
Li Chenglong immediately began operating the machines. After the crystals and materials were placed into the various machines, manufacturing began. These machines were almost silent, with the highest sound level not exceeding 60 decibels. Before long, equipment such as super alloy battle swords, reinforced rifles, and crystal battle swords were produced.
Li Chenglong patiently explained the relevant knowledge of different machines to the staff next to him, and then took out the user manuals and maintenance manuals printed by Shuguang City and handed them to them. For some reasons, Li Chenglong had previously asked Shuguang City to print a batch of various manuals without address information, which now came in handy.
After the reinforced rifle and the crystal rifle were manufactured, Commander Liu Qiang and others couldn't wait to take the rifles and bullets to the training ground. The operation of the reinforced rifle was basically the same as that of the Type 191 series rifles used by China. It could use both ordinary bullets and crystal bullets made of low-grade crystals. He skillfully loaded the magazine and began firing.
While they were using the opportunity, Li Chenglong was instructing Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya on how to use the crystal rifle. The crystal rifle's operation was completely different from standard weapons; it used bullets made from intermediate-grade crystals or the user's own superpower for power. After about ten minutes of instruction from Li Chenglong, both sisters were able to skillfully use the crystal rifle's light ball mode and laser mode.
Seeing the crystal rifle in Zhao Hui's hand, which blasted a wrecked five-wheeled vehicle to pieces with a single burst of light, the three leaders couldn't help but cheer in unison.
After Li Chenglong finished testing all the items he was selling, Zhao Qiang took out the remaining ninety-odd level 11 crystals and said excitedly, "Comrade Li Chenglong, we'll take all of these. But some of the equipment is too complicated. Even with the manual, those people can't operate it skillfully. We'll have to ask you to take some time to teach them."
Li Chenglong nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, even if you hadn't asked, I would have brought it up myself." At 6 p.m., Zhao Hui's statistics came out. This time, Li Chenglong sold a total of 10 super alloy sword manufacturing machines, 8 reinforced rifle manufacturing machines, 8 crystal sword manufacturing machines, 9 crystal bullet manufacturing machines, 4 crystal rifle manufacturing machines, 60 Dawn Q1 and Q2 units, and 50 units of two types of crystal generators to the Kyoto base.
Li Chenglong still made a considerable amount of crystals from this. Although he sold a large number of devices, totaling over 100 units, the total production cost was only 20 11-crystals, while Commander Zhao Qiang gave him 94. However, Li Chenglong felt no guilt about this, because although these items were expensive, they could fundamentally strengthen Kyoto and even the entire China.
After finishing these tasks, Li Chenglong felt a little tired, so he declined Commander Liu Qiang's invitation to have dinner together and decided to go back to his dormitory to eat by himself.
After Li Chenglong left, a logistics staff member came in after submitting a report and said, "Sir, when we were sorting through the grain and other supplies, we found a small cabinet. It must have been accidentally dropped by Comrade Li Chenglong. The cabinet was crushed by the vegetables. We collected the contents and brought it over quickly."
Commander Liu Qiang nodded, indicating that the staff member could go about his business. He then dialed the phone of the Zhao sisters, Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya, asking them to deliver it immediately.
After Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya arrived, they began tidying up the things. Suddenly, a small notebook fell out, still open. Zhao Hui exclaimed, "Commander, it's an officer's ID!"
Liu Qiang looked over when he heard her say that. There was Li Chenglong's name and photo on it, but in the position column it said that he was the commander of the Dawn Army Group, and his rank was lieutenant general.
Zhao Hui was puzzled: "Sir, this says that Comrade Li Chenglong is a lieutenant general, but in our Chinese army, there doesn't seem to be a Dawn Army, nor does it seem that there is a lieutenant general named Li Chenglong. Moreover, this officer's certificate doesn't look like a fake or printed by a dead person, especially this stamp, which is obviously an official stamp."
Commander Liu Qiang thought for a full minute before saying, "This matter of the officer's certificate is only to be known by the three of us. Do not tell anyone else. This is an order, understand? Now, the two of you come with me. We will personally deliver these things to Comrade Li Chenglong."
Meanwhile, Li Chenglong also discovered a problem while inspecting the storage area: the small box where he kept important documents such as his appointment letter, commendation order, and officer's ID was missing. He usually put that small box inside a larger box and locked it, but last time Yunlan needed something, he took it out and didn't put it away properly afterward, and now it was gone.
Just as he was about to go out and look for it, a knock came at the door. When he opened it, he saw Zhao Hui and Zhao Ya carrying a pile of things, and thought to himself, "This is bad."
Commander Liu Qiang said with a smile, "Don't worry, Comrade Li Chenglong, only the three of us know the contents of this document, and no one else will know. Moreover, we only know your rank and position right now."
Seeing his frankness, Li Chenglong simply confessed everything: "I am a warrior from another world of China. My China was also suffering from an apocalyptic crisis. By chance, I came to this world. But don't worry, I will never do anything to harm this China. On the contrary, I want to further deepen our cooperation and convey some things to you about fighting the apocalypse."
"Then are you really a general?" Zhao Hui asked without hesitation.
Li Chenglong nodded: "Yes, I am the commander of the Eastern Theater Command of our China, and also the commander of the Dawn Army Group. My rank is lieutenant general. And you all know that people with superpowers become younger, right? Actually, I'm not as young as I look. I'm already 30 years old this year."
Zhao Ya was surprised: "A 30-year-old lieutenant general? Isn't that young? Even our father is only a major general, and Commander Liu Qiang is a lieutenant general."
The four chatted in Li Chenglong's dormitory until 2 a.m. before parting ways. This conversation deepened their relationship and allowed them to understand each other better. To further their cooperation, Li Chenglong agreed to let some high-ranking officials in Kyoto know his identity, but only that.
