Everyone's eyes lit up at once.
"First Regiment Commander, Xu Ruoxi."
"Second Regiment Commander, Feng Liang."
"First Regiment, First Squad Leader, Lu Liren."
One after another, those whose names had been called immediately stepped forward.
They were so excited their hearts felt ready to leap from their chests.
They had never expected Li Chen to pay attention to every single one of them!
The ten thousand members of the Resident Combat Team had currently been divided into two regiments.
Each regiment was further divided into several squads.
This time, Li Chen had called out several dozen names.
They were all people who had performed well in today's live-combat training.
This was all thanks to Noah's powerful analysis.
The footage captured by the drones had been processed in batches.
Only then could everyone's data be assessed comprehensively, placing them in the positions best suited for them!
After reading the list.
Li Chen swept his gaze over the several dozen people who had stepped forward and slowly said.
"These positions are only temporary. Once the seven-day training period ends, I'll make new adjustments based on the results!"
"The two regiment commanders and all squad leaders, the soldiers under your command will be your assessment criteria!"
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Several dozen people shouted in unison, their voices full of vigor.
"Very good. That's all for today. Go back and rest."
"Starting tomorrow, the next stage of training will be held at the Training Field."
"I only want Iron-Blooded Wolf Soldiers, not useless cowards!"
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking.
Xu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and promised, "Reporting to the commander! None of my soldiers are cowards!"
Over the next six days.
Following the detailed training plan formulated by Noah.
The squads of the Resident Combat Team trained separately at the Training Fields on floors one through three.
Most of the squad leaders were retired soldiers.
So they were highly skilled at training troops.
The ten thousand members of the Resident Combat Team improved at a tremendous pace!
Meanwhile.
The various factories Li Chen had promised were gradually established as well.
There were factories for daily necessities, a Candy Factory, a Beverage Factory, and a clothing factory.
The raw materials were already available; they only needed to be allocated.
Noah pulled up the necessary information and organized the personnel.
Before long, every factory was operating in an orderly manner.
In Donghai City.
With all factories already paralyzed, the industrial production lines of the Star-Level Shelter were astonishing.
Many of the products they made were entertainment goods.
The shelter's residents eagerly took out the Points they had saved up and indulged themselves.
It was as if the apocalypse had never happened!
"Reporting to the commander, preparation progress for the twenty-six production lines has reached 100%!"
"A total of positions have been provided, with the elderly accounting for 30% and women accounting for 68%."
"However, the products currently being produced cannot be completely consumed within the shelter. Please issue your instructions!"
The manager stood in the Command Room.
He delivered his report with a ramrod-straight posture.
A screen full of tables also appeared on Li Chen's central control console.
They showed the production status of every industrial line!
Who could have imagined.
That in the midst of the apocalypse, someone would not need to struggle for survival and could instead develop industry?
But excess production capacity was indeed a major problem.
"Readjust the products of each production line. Prioritize internal consumption."
"Notify the Resident Combat Team to take trucks on missions and gather all kinds of raw materials!"
Li Chen ordered.
"Yes!"
The manager replied immediately.
He then used the Smart Bracelet to relay Li Chen's orders one by one.
After the manager left.
Li Chen spoke again.
"Noah, how is the shelter doing at the moment?"
"Number of Energy Cores: ."
"Energy reserves: 98%."
Noah projected a bar chart onto the Holographic Screen.
Before the apocalypse, Li Chen had already purchased equipment such as solar panels and generators.
They had been placed within the power grid.
They continuously supplied energy to the Star-Level Shelter.
So even though more than twenty factories were operating at once.
And one hundred thousand people were consuming energy simultaneously.
The energy reserves had barely been depleted!
However, Li Chen frowned as he looked at the Energy Core count.
Over the past few days, the Android Warriors had been sent out to hunt zombies.
They had brought back at least around eighty thousand Energy Cores.
Together with the more than thirty thousand Energy Cores Yang Chengyi and the others had delivered over time.
There should have been more than a hundred thousand in storage!
But in order to create the full quota of five thousand Android Warriors.
Most of the Energy Cores had been consumed.
Leaving only a little over forty thousand on hand.
"Noah, I want to upgrade the Combat Team's equipment. Help me formulate a detailed plan."
Li Chen ordered.
"The Star-Level Shelter currently possesses Energy Cores."
"First, repair the Armored Vehicle Production Line and upgrade it to Tier 2, ensuring the Combat Team can carry out external missions."
"Second, repair the Tier 1 Aircraft Production Line, ensuring marching speed."
As Noah delivered the report.
Detailed information appeared on the Holographic Screen before Li Chen.
An Elementary Armored Car could withstand rifle bullets.
A Tier 2 Armored Car could withstand heavy weapons!
The Aircraft Production Lines, meanwhile, each had different capabilities.
A Tier 1 Aircraft Production Line could produce military helicopters.
A Tier 2 Aircraft Production Line could produce Transport Planes.
A Tier 3 Aircraft Production Line could produce Elementary Fighter Jets!
Following Noah's suggestion, Li Chen nodded slightly.
"Repair them."
Ding! Energy Cores used: . Tier 1 Armored Vehicle Production Line repaired. Ding! Energy Cores used: . Tier 2 Armored Vehicle Production Line upgraded. Ding! Energy Cores used: . Tier 1 Aircraft Production Line repaired.
As one notification after another sounded.
Only 5,022 Energy Cores remained.
At the same time.
Changes occurred in the Weapon Production Base on the fourth floor.
The two previously dilapidated production lines flashed with light.
Then they became completely renewed!
Fully automated machines continuously fed raw materials into the machinery for high-temperature melting and molding.
Then mechanical arms installed them one by one into their designated positions.
The manager received the notification.
He immediately led the maintenance androids over.
After the maintenance warriors made their adjustments, the two fully automated production lines began operating smoothly.
Before long, the first Armored Car rolled off the line!
The Tier 2 Armored Car was made entirely of Heavy Metal.
Just looking at it was enough to make one feel its imposing presence.
Soon after, a helicopter appeared at the end of the production line as well.
Though it was only Tier 1, the helicopter was entirely military green and could carry six people.
Whether Armored Cars or helicopters, their appearances were set to default.
Through the command console, Li Chen could choose from dozens of designs.
Armored Cars came in different sizes and weights depending on their intended use.
They were respectively suited for rapid marches, breaking through encirclements, or sieges.
Helicopters, on the other hand, were categorized by armament level and payload capacity.
Armed Helicopters could carry out hunting missions.
Speed-type helicopters could carry out Rescue Missions.
Passenger helicopters could carry out transport missions.
However, helicopters were not true fighter jets or Transport Planes after all.
Though they had rescue and transport functions, they were not fully capable in those roles.
Li Chen pondered for a moment.
Then he made his selections on the holographic panel.
"Produce both light and heavy Armored Cars."
"As for helicopters, focus production on transport models."
Whether it was the helicopter or Armored Vehicle Production Line.
Only one production line had been opened for each.
So there was no need to produce everything; they only needed to select what was necessary.
