Chapter 443: Assembly Line
Meng Yifan returned to Luolong County and summoned the Fifth-grade powerhouses, including Hu Mei'er, Lang Batian, Lang Badi, the Man-eating Flower, and Meng Shuangdao.
"Start preparing now. In ten days, lead the army to advance into the Ten Thousand Mountains and occupy the Jiguan Mountain Spirit Mine," Meng Yifan ordered.
Hu Mei'er frowned and said with some difficulty, "Master, the Ten Thousand Mountains is the lair of the Demon Race. There are many demons inside, and the Jiguan Mountain Spirit Mine is a vital stronghold for them, guarded by at least ten Fifth-grade Great Demons. Furthermore, if we attack the Jiguan Mountain Spirit Mine, we could manage if we just grabbed it and ran, but if we want to occupy it for a long time, we will definitely have to face a frantic counterattack from the Demon Race."
"As far as I know, the Demon Race can mobilize at least fifty-plus Fifth-grade Great Demons, over five hundred Fourth Grade Monsters, and countless other low-level demons. If Master does not participate in the battle, it is almost impossible for our current strength in Luolong County to occupy the Jiguan Mountain Spirit Mine."
"That's right, Master, the strength of the Demon Race cannot be underestimated." The Lang Batian brothers also agreed with Hu Mei'er's assessment. The three of them were originally Fifth-grade Great Demons of the Demon Race and understood the overall strength of the Demon Race best; therefore, they did not advise Meng Yifan to send troops to occupy the Jiguan Mountain Spirit Mine right now.
However, Hu Mei'er and the others were all Meng Yifan's Soul Servants. If Meng Yifan forcibly ordered them to send troops, they would not dare to refuse. Even if they knew that sending troops meant certain death, they would still have to bite the bullet and charge forward.
"Haha, rest assured, how could I bear to let you go to your deaths?" Meng Yifan laughed.
Seeing that Hu Mei'er and the others were still worried, Meng Yifan waved his hand and took an atomic bomb, ten meters long and 1.5 meters in diameter, and a hydrogen bomb, eight meters long and 2.1 meters in diameter, out of his Space Ring.
Meng Yifan stroked the smooth exteriors of the hydrogen bomb and atomic bomb and laughed, "These are the weapons that blew Ao Bi'an to death back then. When you send troops this time, I will provide you with a large quantity of these weapons. The Salvation Army soldiers can handle Fourth Grade Monsters with AK47 Assault Rifles and Rocket Launchers, and you can deal with the Fourth Grade Monsters. If there are a large number of Fifth-grade Great Demons, just use the atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs to blow those bastards to death."
Hu Mei'er's heart stirred. She carefully examined these two big guys and discovered that there were no fluctuations of Spirit Power inside, yet they gave her a hair-raising feeling, making her realize that these two strangely shaped weapons could truly threaten her life.
Lang Batian was extremely excited. She had seen Meng Yifan use atomic bombs to bombard Ao Bi'an. Hearing Meng Yifan's intention, this time he was letting them use these weapons of mass destruction—haha, that would be truly great.
"Master, how many of these weapons are there?" Hu Mei'er asked. If the quantity was too small, they wouldn't be of much use.
"There are one hundred atomic bombs and fifty hydrogen bombs. At critical moments, use them freely; if it's not enough, I will replenish them for you."
Meng Yifan had already made up his mind: if these one hundred and fifty nuclear weapons still couldn't handle the Demon Race army, he would return to Earth, take a trip to the Polar Bear's territory, and spend resources to purchase nuclear weapons.
It is common knowledge that the Polar Bear has the most nuclear weapons in the world, with over six thousand publicly declared. Meng Yifan had plenty of cultivation resources, which were priceless treasures on Earth, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to buy nuclear weapons.
"Then there's no problem." Hu Mei'er's confidence increased greatly. If there were this many nuclear weapons, no matter how many Fifth-grade Great Demons the Demon Race sent, she was certain she could finish them all off.
"Go down and prepare. Let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the weapons as soon as possible; don't drop the ball at a critical moment." This time, Meng Yifan shuttled back and forth between Earth and the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World, not only bringing back a large number of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs but also moving over an AK47 production line, a PP87 82mm mortar production line, and a PF98 120mm rocket production line.
Not only that, Meng Yifan also brought back the matching bullets, mortar shells, rocket production lines, and raw material processing equipment.
Chu Yunlong had even sold him the atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs; he had simply packed up these light equipment assembly lines and gifted them as well.
Modern equipment is highly intelligent. As long as there are sufficient raw materials, guaranteed electricity, and a small number of skilled workers, these assembly lines can continuously produce AK47 Assault Rifles, PP87 82mm mortars, and PF98 120mm rockets.
There are no large mineral resources in Luolong County, but Dongzhou has them: copper mines, iron mines, aluminum mines, and other minerals are all available. Meng Yifan is now a Sixth Grade powerhouse, and the National Teacher of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, Zhou Rentong, is very sensible; when they met last time, he had already agreed to designate the entire Dongzhou as Meng Yifan's territory.
In fact, Zhou Rentong did this to use Meng Yifan's influence to block the Demon Race invasion.
Dongzhou has mineral resources. As for the electricity needed to run the assembly lines, Meng Yifan moved over more than a hundred sets of Wind Power Generator Units, as well as a large number of Solar Photovoltaic Panels, which were barely enough to supply the operation of the assembly lines.
As for operating the assembly lines, this could only be left to Wang Dachui to lead the master craftsmen of the Manufacturing Department and the geniuses of the junior high department to figure out. This was actually not difficult; Chu Yunlong had gifted detailed operating procedures and a large amount of video material. Wang Dachui and the others didn't need to understand the principles behind them; they only needed to know how to operate the assembly lines step by step.
Once veteran masters like Wang Dachui learned how, they could recruit workers from the Refugee Camp.
Every day, a large number of refugees gathered in Luolong County from all directions. As long as they had a bite to eat, they were willing to work. If they could earn a wage to support their families, they were willing to risk their lives for you.
In the time that followed, everyone in Luolong County was busy. Meng Yifan had sent out mining teams to every mine in Dongzhou.
Many refugee miners, under the command of the foremen, went down into the mines to dig. The work was very tiring and bitter, but they could eat their fill every day and bring back five large steamed buns for their families. With this food, their families could all survive.
The refugee miners had all fled here; along the way, there were corpses of the starved everywhere, and they had experienced too many partings and deaths. Now, even though they were miners, their whole families had food to eat, and they were very content.
What surprised these refugee miners even more was that the Luolong County authorities treated everyone equally. The children of these refugees could also enter the city to study for free and be provided with meals. This made all the refugee miners work even harder; even without anyone supervising them, no one slacked off.
Because Luolong County had regulations: workers in various departments who slacked off or cheated would be fired and expelled from Luolong County, and their families would also have to leave.
Good heavens, what kind of world was outside? These refugees knew clearly. If they were fired for slacking off, their families would curse them to death.
Work hard; the family has food to eat, and the children have books to read. If the child is material for learning and passes the assessment, they could become an official in the future, which would make them people above others.
They dared not delay their children's future because of their own laziness.
