Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"First Regiment Commander, Xu Ruoxi."

"Second Regiment Commander, Feng Liang."

"First Regiment First Team Captain, Lu Liren."

Each person whose name was called immediately stepped forward.

They were so excited their hearts felt like they would leap out.

They hadn't expected Li Chen to pay attention to every single person!

These ten thousand members of the Resident Combat Team were currently divided into two regiments.

Under each regiment, several smaller teams were also established.

This time, Li Chen called out dozens of names in total.

These were all individuals who had performed well in today's practical training.

This was thanks to Noah's powerful analysis.

It processed the footage captured by the drones in batches.

Only then could it synthesize each person's data and place them in the most suitable positions!

After reading the list,

Li Chen scanned the dozens of people who had stepped forward and said slowly,

"These positions are only temporary. After the 7-day training period ends, I will readjust based on the training results!"

"The two regiment commanders and all the captains, the soldiers under your command are your assessment!"

"Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

The dozens of people shouted with full vigor.

"Very good, that's all for today. Go back and rest."

"Starting tomorrow, the next phase of training will take place at the training field."

"I only want Iron-Blooded Wolf Soldiers, not cowards!"

As Li Chen's words fell,

Xu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and guaranteed, "Reporting, Commander! My soldiers are not cowards!"

Over the next 6 days,

According to the detailed training plan formulated by Noah,

The various teams of the Resident Combat Team trained separately on the 1st to 3rd floor training fields.

Most of the captains were retired soldiers.

So, training soldiers came naturally to them.

The ten thousand members of the Resident Combat Team grew rapidly!

At the same time.

The various factories Li Chen had previously promised were also established one after another.

There were factories for daily necessities, candy, beverages, and clothing.

The raw materials were already available; they just needed to be allocated.

Noah retrieved the information and organized the personnel.

Soon, the various factories were able to produce in an orderly manner.

In Donghai City.

With all other factories paralyzed, the production lines of the Star-Level Shelter were astonishing.

Many of the items produced were entertainment products.

The residents of the shelter took out their saved points and went on a spending spree.

It was as if they were back before the apocalypse!

"Reporting, Commander, the preparation progress for the 26 production lines has reached 100%!"

"A total of positions have been provided, with the elderly accounting for 30% and women for 68%."

"However, the products currently being produced cannot be fully consumed within the shelter. Please give your instructions!"

The manager stood in the command room.

Reporting with a straight posture.

A series of tables also appeared on Li Chen's central control screen.

These were the production statuses of the various industrial lines!

Who would have thought?

That someone could develop industry during the apocalypse instead of being busy trying to survive?

However, overcapacity was indeed a big problem.

"Re-adjust the products of each production line, prioritizing internal consumption."

"Notify the Resident Combat Team to undertake truck missions to collect various raw materials!"

Li Chen instructed.

"Yes!"

The manager immediately replied.

Then, through the smart bracelet, Li Chen's orders were transmitted one by one.

After the administrators left.

Li Chen spoke again.

"Noah, what is the current situation in the shelter?"

"Number of Energy Cores: ."

"Energy Reserve: 98%."

Noah projected the bar graph onto the holographic screen.

Before the apocalypse, Li Chen had already purchased equipment like solar panel generators.

They were placed within the power grid.

Continuously supplying energy to the Star-Level Shelter.

So even with over twenty factories operating simultaneously.

And a hundred thousand people consuming resources.

Not much of the energy reserve was used up!

However, Li Chen frowned as he looked at the Energy Core count.

These past few days, the Android warriors had been sent out to hunt Zombies.

They had brought back at least eighty thousand Energy Cores.

Adding the more than thirty thousand Energy Cores that Yang Chengyi and others had successively sent back.

There should have been over a hundred thousand in storage!

But to build a full complement of five thousand Android warriors.

Most of the Energy Cores were consumed.

Leaving only over forty thousand on hand.

"Noah, I want to upgrade the Combat Team's armament. Help me create a detailed plan."

Li Chen instructed.

"The Star-Level Shelter currently possesses Energy Cores."

"First, repair the Armored Vehicle Production Line and upgrade it to Level 2 to ensure the Combat Team's external missions."

"Second, repair the Level 1 Aircraft Production Line to ensure marching speed."

As Noah reported.

Detailed information appeared on the holographic screen in front of Li Chen.

Basic armored vehicles could withstand Rifle bullets.

Level 2 armored vehicles could withstand Heavy Weapons!

And the Aircraft Production Lines were all different.

Level 1 Aircraft Production Line can produce military helicopters.

Level 2 Aircraft Production Line can produce transport aircraft.

Level 3 Aircraft Production Line can produce basic fighter jets!

Following Noah's suggestion, Li Chen nodded slightly.

"Repair them."

Ding! Used Energy Cores to repair the Level 1 Armored Vehicle Production Line. Ding! Used Energy Cores to upgrade to the Level 2 Armored Vehicle Production Line. Ding! Used Energy Cores to repair the Level 1 Aircraft Production Line.

As the notification sounds rang out one after another, the Energy Cores were reduced to only 5022.

At the same time, the Weapon Production Base on the fourth floor underwent changes.

The two originally dilapidated production lines flashed with a bright light, then immediately became brand new!

Fully automated machines continuously fed raw materials into the machines for high-temperature melting and shaping.

Then, robotic arms installed them one by one in fixed positions.

Management received the notification and immediately brought the repair Androids over.

After debugging by the repair soldiers, the two fully automated production lines ran smoothly.

Soon, the first armored vehicle rolled off the line!

The Level 2 armored vehicle was entirely made of heavy metal. Just looking at it gave one a sense of grandeur.

Immediately after, a helicopter also appeared at the end of the production line.

Although it was only Level 1, the helicopter was entirely military green and could carry 6 people.

Both the armored vehicle and the helicopter had default appearances. Li Chen could choose from dozens of styles through the command console.

Armored vehicles varied in size and weight according to needs, suitable for forced marches, breakthroughs, or sieges.

Helicopters were distinguished by their level of armament and payload. There were armed helicopters that could perform hunting missions.

There are speed-type helicopters that can perform rescue missions.

There are capacity-type helicopters that can perform transport missions.

However, helicopters are not true fighter jets or transport planes after all.

Although they have rescue and transport functions, they are not perfect enough.

Li Chen pondered for a moment.

He made a selection on the holographic panel.

"Armored vehicles will be produced in two types: light and heavy."

"Helicopters will focus on producing transport types."

Whether it was the helicopter or the armored vehicle production line, only one of each was opened.

Therefore, there was no need to produce all types; he could just choose what was needed.
