In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

#64 - Chapter 64 Technological Upgrades Brought by Level 3 Bases

Li Ming picked up a small piece of potato, put it in his mouth, and began to chew. The taste and texture of this thing were truly unappetizing; it was indeed quite awful.

"Chief, the taste of this thing when eaten raw isn't good. The texture is hard, rough, and stringy, and the taste is somewhat astringent when eaten raw, definitely not comparable to ordinary potatoes. But this thing also has its advantages, which is that it can fill the stomach and provide a certain amount of energy and nutrition."

"Moreover, planting this thing is also very easy. Just cut the potato into pieces, put it in the soil, and then sprinkle it with nutrient solution and antifreeze. The demand for water isn't very high, but it needs some supplemental lighting."

"According to my calculations, the cost of one pound of these potato seeds, plus nutrient agents and antifreeze, would be about 3 integration tickets if mass-produced on a large scale.

One pound of such seeds can mature in about one and a half months in extremely cold environments, and can produce approximately 40 pounds of potatoes."

Li Ming was surprised to hear this cost. "Old Wang, what is the approximate production volume of seeds you're talking about?"

Old Wang had already done his homework on this issue. "At least mass-producing 5 million pounds of seeds before the cost can be reduced to three integration points, which includes one pound of seeds plus one portion of nutrient agent and one portion of antifreeze!"

"If we continue to mass-produce on a larger scale, the cost will decrease further!"

Strictly speaking, this cost was really not high. Li Ming issued an order, "Immediately put into production cold-resistant potato seeds, nutrient agents, and related antifreeze. Produce 300,000 pounds in the first batch and see how the market responds!"

"Yes!" A staff member immediately began to make arrangements.

Then Li Ming continued to ask, "Old Wang, how are the drought-resistant potatoes doing?"

"Chief, according to your instructions, the drought-resistant potatoes are currently under development. We've adopted many advanced gene technologies from the technical data to give ordinary potatoes these special characteristics."

"However, according to our current experimental data, the drought-resistant potatoes have very good data in all aspects. The demand for water is not high, and they can still grow in high-temperature environments, making them a crop suitable for growing in extreme environments."

Li Ming nodded after listening, very satisfied with the progress of the research.

He then left here and headed to his newly built high-tech research center, a building unlocked by the system.

Li Ming had invested a lot of survival points and integration points to build this building. Now that the research center was just completed, he also unlocked many new types of soldiers.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the construction of the high-tech research center. When conducting research in the high-tech research center, research efficiency +50%, research funding reduced by 50%. There is a 20% chance that researchers can level up during research."

"Ding, detecting that the host's high-tech research center has been completed, the host has unlocked the latest troops and the latest technologies, please pay attention to check!"

Li Ming hurriedly began to check his troop recruitment interface. He did have some new units in the infantry section, such as the ability to recruit elite scout troops and elite special forces troops.

At the same time, since he had already built an underground airport, Li Ming could also receive about a company of paratroopers every day, which he could deploy to any location on the system's global map.

Li Ming deployed the paratroopers to various cities in the Tianhui Empire, mainly to areas not covered by his bases.

The equipment of these paratroopers was also very interesting, each with an AKM rifle, plus an RPD light machine gun for each squad, with fierce firepower and universal ammunition.

Li Ming specifically arranged transport helicopters to transport a large amount of ammunition and supplies for them. At this time, Li Ming's troops were basically in many of the larger cities in the country, but there were still many small prefecture-level cities without his troops.

So Li Ming used the paratrooper method to achieve control over these small cities. He wanted to form his own military control and market network.

That's right, I still have a hero unit that hasn't been recruited, it seems to be called Captain Chen Lin?

Then he issued an instruction, "System, recruit Captain Chen Lin!"

"Yes, Captain Chen Lin is being recruited, please be patient and wait for seven days!"

The system's voice made Li Ming stunned. Does it take so long to recruit a hero unit?

Li Ming's least lack was time, so he waited patiently and then began to check his latest technology.

"System, what's up with this Wraith fighter?" Li Ming couldn't help but ask. This was a reward data provided by the high-tech research center he received.

"Ding, respected host, the Wraith fighter is a manned stealth fighter. This fighter adopts a twin-engine layout, but the internal structure of the engine has been redesigned more scientifically, completely different from the stealth fighters currently owned by the host."

"System, how do these stealth fighters I have compare to the Wraith fighter?"

"Trash, none of them can fight!" The system said lightly.

"System Bro, that's a bit of bragging, right? They're all stealth fighters, what's the difference?" Li Ming asked, puzzled.

"Ding, host, the thrust of a single engine of this Wraith fighter can reach 30 kilonewtons, and two engines are 60 kilonewtons. Without afterburner, it can easily make the Wraith fighter fly at a speed of 5 to 6 Mach. With afterburner, it can fly at a speed of 10 Mach."

"Moreover, the Wraith fighter also adopts the latest type of composite wave-absorbing material for the fuselage, which can make the overall weight of the aircraft at least 40% lighter than other fighters at the same volume.

With sufficient engine horsepower and a terrifying built-in missile bay capacity, the Wraith fighter can definitely kill any stealth fighter in the world today."

"In addition, the production cost of this new type of composite wave-absorbing material is not high, making it suitable for mass production. Not only can it be stealthy, but the fuselage itself can also absorb radar reflection waves, has greater structural strength, and is also more heat-resistant."

"Coupled with the latest missile rocket engine technology and the unique fuel formula of the aircraft, this fighter will make the host's air force invincible. At the same time, the latest anti-G suit technology for pilots can also help you effectively reduce the overload of 6 to 8 Gs, the host should know what that means, right?"

'Damn!' Li Ming couldn't help but swear.

This thing is really heaven-defying, a minimum speed of 5 Mach, a maximum flying speed of 10 Mach, these traditional air-to-air missiles are simply decorations.........
