Chapter 476 A Busy Day (Part 1)
Twenty minutes later, the soldiers, now dressed in the special forces color scheme of the new Type 25 combat uniforms, stepped out of the command vehicle. Judging from their expressions, they were quite satisfied with the uniforms.
Li Chenglong smiled and asked everyone, "What do you think of this combat uniform?" The special forces soldiers expressed their opinions one after another. Yang Liu replied, "Although it's a cloudy day today, the temperature is still 34 degrees Celsius, but wearing this combat uniform feels like being in an air-conditioned room."
Liu Ruyan nodded: "Yes, not only that, the fabric of this suit is also very comfortable, and there is no discomfort when wearing it." Wang Shuang performed a few difficult movements before saying: "No matter what movement I do, there is no hindrance. It is much better than the previous combat suit."
After everyone had shared their opinions, Li Chenglong said, "This suit was actually developed less than a month ago, and it only officially started production in my space factory today. There are bound to be some shortcomings. If you have any suggestions or opinions, just report them to Yang Liu and have her pass them on to me. Alright, let's start testing the new weapon."
After speaking, he took out the Type 27 super rifle, the Type 27 super machine gun, and the Type 27 superconducting sniper rifle one by one, and placed them on the long table in front of the special forces team.
Li Chenglong first picked up a Type 27 super-powered rifle and introduced it: "This gun is called the Type 27 super-powered rifle. From now on, we will just call it the Type 27 rifle or the Type 27 rifle. This gun has many similarities with the original crystal rifle. For example, it can fire single shots and three-round bursts. When firing single shots, it fires a laser beam. When firing three-round bursts, it fires three light orbs. The gun also has a fully automatic crystal microcomputer sight. It can be powered by its own energy or by using energy-powered bullets made of crystals."
He then added, "While there are many similarities, there are also quite a few differences. This gun weighs 4.2 kilograms when fully loaded with powered ammunition, has a maximum range of 2.2 kilometers, and an effective range of 1.5 kilometers. Moreover, without consuming the same amount of energy, its power is doubled compared to the original super-powered rifle, while the cost is reduced to half. And as you can see, the Type 27 rifle also has something similar to a grenade launcher mounted on its lower part. It can fire an energy net that can surround lone void creatures, restricting their movement and facilitating close-quarters combat."
Li Chenglong then gave a brief explanation of the Type 27 machine gun and the Type 27 sniper rifle. The special forces soldiers were already eager to begin, and after obtaining his permission, they started testing.
Twenty-five minutes later, the group reluctantly put the guns down on the table. Yang Liu asked expectantly, "Captain Li, these three types of guns are much better than the previous energy rifles. When will they be issued to the army?"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "We can do it now. Don't special forces use super rifles now? You hand over a super rifle, and I'll give you a Type 27 rifle. What do you think?"
The women were excited upon hearing this and quickly retrieved their rifles from their storage capsules, lining up to exchange them with Li Chenglong. Five minutes later, the exchange of new weapons was complete. To facilitate the special forces' combat operations, Li Chenglong also provided them with five Type 27 superconducting sniper rifles and five Type 27 squad-level energy machine guns.
The guns are sorted out. Next up is the last weapon in this test: the ion battle knife.
Li Chenglong explained, "The Ion Battle Blade is specially made for level 10 and above ability users. The optimal usage level is level 11 and above. The blade is 1.1 meters long, with a blade length of 93 centimeters and a width of 7 centimeters. This blade can maximize the user's energy, further reducing energy consumption and enhancing energy utilization efficiency."
After Li Chenglong finished his introduction, he said to Yang Liu, "You take out a first-generation Dragon Fang dagger, and I will use this Ion Battle Blade. Let's see which weapon is stronger. To ensure fairness, I will suppress the energy to the same level as yours."
Yang Liu nodded, then immediately unleashed her strongest form, wielding the Dragon Fang Dagger with all her might as well slash at Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong, on the other side, also charged forward wielding the Ion Battle Blade. The two weapons clashed, and with a clang, the Dragon Fang Dagger was cleanly severed in two, while the Ion Battle Blade remained undamaged.
Yang Liu stared in astonishment at the broken Dragon Fang Dagger in her hand. This Dragon Fang Dagger was a weapon specially crafted by Li Chenglong to enhance the special forces' combat capabilities; it was far superior to the standard military weapon, the Crystal Battle Knife. Yet, it had been severed in one blow by the Ion Battle Knife.
Li Chenglong nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Yang Liu, try the second-generation Dragon Fang Dagger again. The second-generation Dragon Fang Dagger is mixed with Aizamlai metal, and its performance is more than five times better than the first generation."
The two then clashed weapons again. This time, the second-generation Dragon Fang Dagger was undamaged, but the Ion Battle Blade developed a small nick.
Yang Liu said with satisfaction, "Captain Li, although the Ion Blade has a small nick, its performance against the second-generation Dragon Fang Dagger is already quite good. Moreover, the cost of one second-generation Dragon Fang Dagger is two level 10 crystals, which means it is only suitable for small units like special forces teams."
Li Chenglong nodded: "Yes, that's what I thought too. Besides, this ion battle blade only requires 10 green crystals, so it's very cheap to make. Alright, the weapon test is over now. I think it's almost time for a meeting at headquarters. Yang Liu, as the special forces captain, you'll be coming with me."
Afterwards, Yang Liu made some simple arrangements for the afternoon's events, and then drove a military vehicle with Li Chenglong on board, heading towards the Dawn Army headquarters.
By the time Li Chenglong finished the meeting at headquarters, it was already 5 p.m. He then rushed to the Central Information Management Department on the 8th floor of the Dawn Tower and held a video conference with the heads of the Black Gold City, Anxi Base, Yanjing Base, and Shenyang Base.
At the meeting, he explained the "three-step" strategy previously studied by the Dawn Army's high command, which received everyone's support. He then told them about the new weapons and promised that once the Dawn Army was almost fully equipped, they would be delivered to them using a dedicated cargo plane. As for the money, it could be temporarily owed, or exchanged for resources such as metals and oil.
The video conference ended at 7 p.m. He didn't eat, but went to the Dawn City TV station located on the 12th to 17th floors of the Dawn Tower. According to today's schedule, he was to speak at 8 p.m. on all channels of the Dawn City TV station.
It was already the second day since Li Chenglong returned to Dawn City, but many residents of Dawn City were still unaware of his return. In addition, the attacks from the Void Creatures had become increasingly fierce recently, and there were reports of some bases being destroyed, which caused sadness and despair to permeate the residents of Dawn City. At this moment, it was very necessary for Li Chenglong to give a speech.
As soon as Li Chenglong stepped out of the elevator, he was surprised to find Jiang Hui, Chu Kexin, Liu Qingqing, and others already waiting for him. Li Chenglong smiled and shook hands with each of them, exchanging brief greetings before heading to the dressing room.
At 8 p.m., Li Chenglong's speech began on time. He first greeted all the residents, then briefly explained the recent arrangements and actions of Dawn City, informing the residents of the current situation and alleviating their panic. He also assured all the residents that as long as one member of the Dawn Army remained, not a single Void creature would be allowed to endanger the safety of Dawn City.
During his speech, Li Chenglong also showcased the weapons and equipment of the Dawn Army through short videos, including several of the latest weapons, to boost the confidence of ordinary residents and Dawn Army soldiers.
Li Chenglong's speech lasted for an hour. After bidding farewell to the staff of Dawn City TV Station, he left Dawn Tower and went to the Dawn Army Logistics Department, where he handed over all the new weapons produced that day to Qin Fangyu. Currently, his space factory can produce 1500 Type 27 super-powered rifles and 1000 Type 25 combat uniforms per day, which is already quite fast.
When he got home, it was already 10 p.m. Yunlan was already asleep in the bedroom with Li Yunxi in her arms, and everyone else except Su Qian was asleep as well. When Su Qian saw him come back, she heated up the food she had prepared and brought it up. Only then did Li Chenglong eat his first meal of the day.
