Chapter 160 Traditional Firepower Fading

　　The noise of Qin Yiming and Lan Ning's quarrel didn't spread out of the soundproofed room. Even Professor Nan downstairs didn't hear anything.

　　Three minutes later, Qin Yiming, with a bruised face, slipped out of the building. He looked around and, finding that no one was paying attention to him, quietly fled back to the castle.

　　A few minutes later, Lan Ning, draped in a bed sheet, came to Professor Nan's lab. After stammering for a long time, he managed to borrow a lab coat...

　　When Professor Nan asked him what had happened, Lan Ning didn't answer. He just gritted his teeth and said that he would quit two things from now on.

　　One was alcohol.

　　The other was Qin Yiming!

　　…

　　"I divided the trained survivors according to the company-level combat organization of the Yan Huang troops, dividing every ten people into a squad, with a squad leader and a deputy squad leader each, and eight combatants. Two of them will become Zhineng (smart brain) type evolvers, and the other eight will become Shenjiang (god descent) type evolvers. This will ensure that our legion can have strong and balanced combat power in the early stage."

　　"In addition, I propose that we also need to equip the Pioneer Corps with new equipment. I once fought against a European Union evolver squad. Although they were not my opponents, they still left a deep impression on me."

　　Lu Chi stood on the training ground, took out an alloy steel knife seized from a European Union evolver squad, and handed it to Li Tianran, saying, "Without this equipment, the combat power of the European Union evolver squad would be at least two-thirds weaker."

　　Li Tianran took the steel knife and gently slashed at the steel railing, which was about three centimeters thick. With a crisp sound, the steel railing broke in response, and the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.

　　He raised the steel knife and carefully checked the blade. There was no sign of curling, and even the wear was barely visible.

　　"There are also some special combat uniforms, combat boots, and electromagnetic wave-proof helmets. With these equipment on, the group of Atavistic evolvers in the European Union can almost compete with the weaker Shenjiang (god descent) type evolvers." Lu Chi stood beside him, without any pretense or belittling, and calmly evaluated, "If Tang Su had fought them on the ruins of Haicheng, she would have an eighty percent chance of not surviving."

　　"The European Union really has money and technology," Li Tianran sighed. The European Union's operation directly and forcibly narrowed the gap between its own Atavistic evolvers and Shenjiang (god descent) type evolvers in a pay-to-win way, allowing the weakest Atavistic type among the four evolutionary routes to compete with the other three evolvers with the help of equipment.

　　This kind of equipment advantage can make the weak stronger and the strong even stronger.

　　"You're right, we also need to establish equipment specifically for evolvers." Li Tianran said in a deep voice, "On the future battlefield, I will not let my soldiers wear old, outdated bulletproof vests and carry inferior pig iron guns to fight against the well-equipped, armed-to-the-teeth enemies of the world's great powers."

　　The gap in equipment is an important factor in determining the outcome of a war.

　　Although evolvers have extremely strong power, it has been verified that even the strongest Shenjiang (god descent) type evolvers currently cannot ignore the advantages brought by sophisticated equipment. The flesh and blood of Shenjiang (god descent) type evolvers cannot yet withstand alloy steel knives and high-explosive bombs.

　　Li Tianran looked at the survivors in the distance who were doing weight-bearing cross-country running. There were men and women, and they no longer had the lifelessness they had when they first arrived on Kuangxi Island. They were working hard to run towards the goal set by Li Tianran.

　　Although they are still very weak, they already have a precious quality called "perseverance, loyalty, and obedience." They already have the qualifications to become true soldiers.

　　These survivors are in poor physical condition. Less than half of the training has been completed, and some people are already sweating profusely and almost collapsed. But even at this time, no one has fallen behind. Even when approaching the limit of their physical strength, they are still gritting their teeth and persevering.

　　Because Lu Chi once told them that whoever performs well in training can become an officer and enjoy better treatment than others!

　　Whoever has the ability eats meat, whoever doesn't have the ability... has to eat cold shit!

　　"I will put this matter on the agenda." Li Tianran said, "My mall points have accumulated a lot now, more than one billion. With the continuous supply of points from the planting area and the breeding area, I can be considered rich now. Establishing an arsenal is imperative."

　　"We need both the most powerful evolver warriors and the most sophisticated equipment. A strong combination can create miracles."

　　Li Tianran looked at the steel knife in his hand, and the Eye of Data quickly displayed the ratio of its material composition.

　　If Li Tianran wanted to copy the European Union's equipment, it would not be difficult. With the blessing of the Eye of Data and the points mall, he could also restore the equipment of the European Union squad. But if he keeps copying and imitating the technology of other countries, then he will never be able to surpass them.

　　In this regard, he needs to have his own creative technology.

　　That afternoon, a small arsenal began to be built. The location was next to the large barracks that Li Tianran had built for the future expansion of the Pioneer Corps.

　　The two buildings were built together, covering an area of nearly ten kilometers.

　　To this end, Li Tianran once again added a large number of intelligent work robots.

　　It has to be said that in non-inspiration-creative projects, the work efficiency of these robots is much higher than that of humans. Soon, the prototype structure of the two large buildings was completed.

　　At this time, the Apocalyptic Super Farm already had a complete urban system.

　　The general power organization, the military defense organization, the logistics supply organization, the energy supply organization, the military expansion organization, and the people's livelihood organization.

　　These are the six major institutions that a complete city should have, and Li Tianran has now collected them all.

　　In just a few months, Li Tianran has developed Kuangxi Island from a barren island ravaged by sea beasts to its current state, and is even faintly moving towards becoming a small country.

　　This feeling is hard to describe in words.

　　When you stand at the highest point of Kuangxi Island and look down, seeing the former wasteland turned into a city of steel, it is a sense of accomplishment of a "creator"!

　　…

　　Russia.

　　Parliamentary meeting.

　　A major general from the Ministry of Defense spoke at the meeting, claiming that the armories under his department had recently been encountering difficulties from the Ministry of Finance everywhere, and even the basic supply line for manufacturing individual weapons could not be maintained. Subordinate soldiers and workers even had to collect scrap iron and put it into the smelting furnace, while the Evolver Research Department next door was rich in oil. The resources discarded to make a special steel knife were enough to抵得上 (be equivalent to) a traditional armory manufacturing one hundred howitzers, completely not knowing how to save…

　　The major general was furious at the National Congress, directly pointing out that the Evolver Research Department was extravagant and wasteful and should be restrained.

　　The head of the Evolver Research Department retorted, claiming that each evolver was worth 抵得上一万 (equal to ten thousand) howitzers, and presented the recent glorious achievements of the Russian evolver squad in exterminating the beast king as a powerful counterattack. With the support of the National Congress, a set of combined punches left the major general of the traditional armory speechless.

　　The head of the Evolver Research Department took the opportunity to suggest that Russia close several traditional armories again.

　　So far, only three large traditional armories remain in Russia, compared to the three hundred at its peak, only one percent remains!

　　Not only Russia, but the situation in the European Union, Yan Huang, and England is mostly the same.

　　The European Union closed 95% of its domestic traditional armories, retaining only the production lines for manufacturing nuclear weapons and elite bombers.

　　Yan Huang closed 89%!

　　England closed 93%!

　　It can be said that so far, in order to supply the needs of evolver research, the traditional firepower of humans on Blue Star has experienced a cliff-like decline.

　　It takes months or even years to build an armory, but destroying it and throwing it into the melting pot of the Evolver Research Department may only take a day.

　　…

　　Above the Abyss.

　　A green turtle slowly landed on the sea monster, and a strange brainwave spread out.

　　"Everything is as you predicted..."

　　"With the help of the new cataclysm, after paying the lives of some of our kind, we have given humans a false impression, allowing them to cut off their most powerful arms in the fastest time..."

　　"We will drive a large number of mutated beasts to invade, trying to bring the human weapon storage to zero..."

　　The green turtle conveyed the information it had obtained to the sea monster, and then issued an inquiry again: "But after the traditional weapons of humans are exhausted... will their evolvers grow to have the power to fight us?"

　　The sea monster, who had been keeping her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

　　Contempt, overlooking.

　　Faced with the "human evolver threat theory" proposed by the green turtle.

　　She didn't say anything.

　　But it was like she said everything.
