Chapter 533 Selling Weapons and Equipment
On the afternoon of April 26, Shangguan Jingyun, the city lord of Black Gold City, Zhou Siyun, the highest-ranking officer of Anxi Base, Wang Ruyan, the second-ranking officer, Wang Wenjie, the first-ranking officer of Northeast Shenyang Base, Liu Zhiming, the second-ranking officer, Batel, the first-ranking officer of Hute Base, Ding Hai, the second-ranking officer, Lu Jinhui, the defense commander of Yanjing Base, Liu Tao, the director of the secretariat, and Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yanran from Southeast Autonomous Region, all arrived at Dawn City one after another.
Besides them, officers or leaders from other medium-sized bases relatively close to Dawn City were also invited. Whenever someone from one side arrived, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan would personally go to the Dawn City civilian airport to pick them up, as a sign of respect and welcome.
Leaders and officials from various bases stood in front of the Dawn Tower gates, waving to the people of Dawn City and media representatives who came to welcome them. Then, they went to the large conference hall on the second floor of the Dawn Tower to attend the weapons and equipment upgrade conference hosted by Dawn City.
Li Chenglong walked to the podium, gestured to Wang Jie who was operating the crystal computer, and began his explanation: "Today, all the major leaders of our Huaxia bases are here, which truly brings honor to my Dawn City. In my previous communication with everyone, I gave a brief explanation of the new equipment that our Dawn Army in Dawn City is starting to wear. Later, I thought it would be better to invite everyone to gather together, firstly to deepen our relationship, and secondly to give a detailed explanation."
He continued, "Recently, thanks to the efforts of our Dawn City Technology Department and the Dawn Army's Equipment Department and Armed Research Department, we have carried out a complete overhaul of the weapons and equipment currently used by our Dawn Army. The overhaul covers all aspects, including standard weapons, tanks and cannons, new mechs and uniforms, and so on."
"Next, comrades from different units will come to explain these things to everyone, and finally, we will also discuss the cost price and selling price of these equipment." After saying that, Li Chenglong walked away.
Li Xue from the General Logistics Department of the Dawn Army stepped forward first and said, "Let me first introduce our new military uniforms. During the wearing of the previous Type 25 uniforms, some problems were found. We have made improvements to address these issues. The current Type 28 uniforms are made of mutated cotton, alien silkworm silk, and cosmic alloy fibers. While inheriting the advantages of the previous uniforms, they also have excellent properties such as greater durability and effective resistance to beam attacks."
Li Xue continued, "Military uniforms are divided into three types: summer uniforms, spring/autumn uniforms, and winter uniforms. In addition to clothing, there are also shoes and military caps, and the materials vary slightly depending on the purpose. Moreover, we have invited specialized designers to design them, ensuring both effectiveness and aesthetics."
Following Li Xue's explanation, the main screen in the conference hall displayed detailed images and videos of the men's and women's Type 28 military uniforms. Meanwhile, staff members distributed booklets to the leaders.
After Li Xue finished speaking, she went downstairs. Next up was Wang Fang, an officer from the General Armaments Department of the Dawn Army. She smiled and said, "Distinguished leaders, I will now introduce the Dawn Army's improved standard weapons. Please turn to page 7 of the booklet and watch the video to appreciate our new weapons."
Then she began her explanation: "Currently, the performance of our Type 27 Superpower Rifle can be said to be close to perfect. However, in the process of communicating with the space fleet and our friends on Planet Setan, we found that the rifles we are currently using still have obvious room for improvement. Therefore, under the leadership of the commander, and after our joint research, we finally carried out a major improvement on the Type 27 Superpower Rifle family."
"The improved Type 28 super-powered rifle family has advantages such as long effective range, low energy consumption, greater power, safer use, easier maintenance, lighter weight, and lower cost. However, the cost is actually 20% less than the original Type 27 rifle family. For example, the Type 28 super-powered sniper rifle now has an effective range of 2.4 kilometers and a maximum range of 3.2 kilometers. It also has a multi-functional scope that can assist in aiming, so even if you are not a sharpshooter, you can still shoot accurately."
After Wang Fang stepped down, and the leaders read through the booklet and watched the test videos of the five weapons in the Type 28 rifle family, Zhou Jihai, the top leader of the Rocket Force, personally went on stage to explain the new weapons that the Rocket Force is currently replacing.
他笑着说道：“请大家把小册子翻到第22页。目前我们火箭军经过缩编后现在有5个团，一共5000人，火箭1团和2团使用的是聚能光束粒子炮，火箭3团和4团使用的是自动粒子高射炮，火箭5团使用的是空间震爆导弹和超能导弹。”
After introducing the weapons currently used by the Rocket Force, Zhou Jihai continued, "The performance of these weapons is already very clear in the brochures and the videos you have watched, so I won't go into too much detail. The only thing I want to mention is this space shock missile, which can effectively strike even Level 3 special targets."
"Although space shock missiles are relatively expensive, each missile can create a space distortion zone with a diameter of 0.8 kilometers, and everything within this zone will be destroyed. We have used two in space battles before and proved their effectiveness. Even a large Level 3 special forces unit would be reduced to ashes by a single space shock missile."
Previously, the armored divisions were personally led by Li Chenglong, and their leadership was later elected during the military reforms. Currently, although the armored divisions are classified as divisions, they are on the same level as other units, with the highest-ranking officer holding the rank of major general. An armored division consists of two brigades with a total of six regiments: Regiments 1 to 3 are armored vehicle brigades, while Regiments 4 to 6 are mechanized brigades.
As for the highlight of the armored division, it was undoubtedly the two new mechs, Qilin and Yanfeng, which caused a sensation as soon as they appeared. Zhao Min, the political commissar of the armored division, said, "Our brochures have already described the two mechs very clearly, so I won't go into too much detail. The only thing I want to say here is that if you want to buy them, you can return your old mechs, or provide the wreckage of any downed alien mechs you've collected before. That will make them much cheaper."
Finally, Yuan Ang, the commander of the Dawn Army Air Force, came up. He said, "This time, our air force also has new aircraft. The original Tyrannosaurus Space Fighter will be gradually dismantled and new fighters will be manufactured. The new fighter is called the Storm Fighter. You can refer to the booklet for detailed parameters."
"The biggest change in the Storm Fighter is that it has been changed from two pilots to only one pilot, and each aircraft is equipped with a super artificial computer to assist it. Compared with the previous Tyrannosaurus Fighter, it is easier to fly, the requirements for the pilot have been reduced, and the comfort of flying has been significantly improved."
"Each Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter is equipped with two SX5 engines of the same model as the Flame Phoenix mech and six fourth-generation super crystal generators. As long as the energy is sufficient, it can theoretically fly in space or in the air indefinitely. As for weapons, it carries half again as many as the Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter, and the power has also been greatly improved. Moreover, the entire aircraft is equipped with an all-sky radar and a beam coating, which makes it more capable of detecting enemies and can also effectively resist special attacks."
After everyone finished their introductions, Li Chenglong stepped to the front and said, "The costs are clearly listed in the brochure. Now, let me tell you the selling price. We're all friends here, so I'll be frank. All the weapons shown in the brochure, if purchased directly, will be sold at cost price multiplied by 1.3. We only make a small profit on shipping and workers' wages. If other materials are used as payment, someone will calculate that as well."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "We'll also be selling storage capsules, super potions, super recovery potions, flame fruits, and various models of crystal generators, etc. Prices will be discounted for bulk orders. For bases that can't afford to buy right now, we offer installment payment options. For bases facing particular difficulties, we'll sell at half price!"
Li Chenglong's words immediately drew enthusiastic applause from the crowd, and many people began to calculate how much new equipment they would need to purchase this time.
