"Captain Megumi Iruma, come here for a moment!"
It was a phone call from inside the base; it was Director Sawah calling.
"Yes, Director Sawah."
After hanging up, Megumi Iruma ordered Horii and Shinjo to pilot the GUTS Flying Swallow to the Bermuda Strait for reconnaissance.
Director Sawah's office.
Megumi Iruma entered, she saw Director Sawah chatting and laughing happily with someone.
Xiao Tian.
Megumi Iruma already understood that Xiao Tian, the head of the resources department, was the same Xiao Tian, a former member of the team.
"Captain, long time no see, you're still as beautiful as ever. I'll continue working at your department's base from now on. If you have any questions about resources, just let me know, don't hesitate to ask." Xiao Tian walked straight over and handed his appointment documents to Megumi Iruma.
"Manager Xiao, welcome back!"
Megumi Iruma took it, glanced at it casually, and smiled with a captivating smile.
Seeing that Megumi Iruma had extended her fair and jade-like hand in welcome, Xiao Tian chuckled and took her hand directly.
"Captain Megumi Iruma, I must add one more point: Supervisor Xiao is solely responsible for the resource allocation of your GUTS, and he reports directly to the highest-ranking person in charge at the base."
Upon hearing Megumi Iruma was secretly alarmed.
The position of head of the resources department is quite prestigious!
" Yazumi's dream may come true."
Xiao Tian Megumi Iruma left Director Sawah's office to chat and catch up.
Megumi Iruma was a sensible person and didn't ask where Xiao Tian had gone during that time.
Back at the department's base, Megumi Iruma gathered the team members who were there.
" Xiao Tian, welcome back!" Daigo, Rena, Yazumi, and others smiled and presented him with a welcome gift.
Of course, these are just some candies from within the base.
"Let me reintroduce myself. This is Xiao Tian, our department's resource manager. For any resource allocation needs in the future, please contact Manager Xiao."
"Supervisor?! Xiao Tian, it's actually you!" Vice Captain Munakata was dumbfounded.
"Wow! Xiao Tian, you went out for a while and came back with a promotion!" Rena couldn't help but tease.
Xiao Tian waved his hand and chuckled, "Sorry to have worried everyone. As a thank you, it's time to upgrade the equipment of our GUTS members."
"It's long overdue for an upgrade! My laser-based thermal weapon has been unusable for ages!"
"I'm starting to look forward to the new hazmat suit!"
At this moment, Yazumi's eyes sparkled, and a bold idea took root in his mind.
" Xiao Tian, can I upgrade my computer's hardware?"
"No problem, no problem at all! Just say the word!" Xiao Tian chuckled.
"That's fantastic! Xiao Tian, I've already prepared the list. Would you like to take a look?"
Yazumi was incredibly excited and took out the list he had treasured for over a year from his pocket.
Xiao Tian took the folded, thumb-sized piece of paper, its edges slightly yellowed and exuding a sense of age, and unfolded it.
Good heavens!
As an omniscient and omnipotent Undying Deva Path!
Xiao Tian understood the hardware on the list!
Xiao Heavenly Eye stared intently at Yazumi and gave him a thumbs up.
Yazumi said awkwardly, "I know some of the hardware on this list is hard to get, but as long as we can get hardware number 4 and 5, that'll be fine."
"Hmm." Xiao Tian nodded and patted Yazumi on the shoulder.
This guy is a true genius! He's going to work on the quantum realm!
Currently, there isn't a single quantum collider in the world. This guy is making outrageous demands, wanting to manufacture parts for a quantum collider. Regardless of whether he can successfully build one, just those parts alone would require an investment of at least 50 billion, in the world's most valuable currency, Starcoin.
Some small countries can be bought with just one or two of their resources, and then they can act like tyrants there! Just think about what that means!
However, as the head of the resources department, these parts were nothing to Xiao Tian, an Undying Deva Path.
Is a Innate Spirit Treasure valuable?
Afterwards, Xiao Tian recorded the requests from Rena, Daigo, and Vice Captain Munakata.
The entire Space Defense Bureau has as many as three hundred resource warehouses of varying sizes, in addition to fifty secret and important warehouses.
As the resource manager of a special department, Xiao Tian currently has the authority to allocate resources from all warehouses.
Upgrading the protective suits and firearms for the GUTS members requires a large investment of funds to continue research and development.
The base's leadership, considering that the existing firearms deployed by the GUTS are sufficient to cope with some harsh environments but not with some abnormal supernatural events, and that current science and technology cannot create more terrifying firearms, has been quite lax in updating and maintaining equipment.
Xiao Tian arrived at Warehouse No. 17, one of the 50 secret and important warehouses.
This place contains many special energy sources and materials with extremely high radiation levels.
Developing new weapons cannot rely on those unambitious, complacent technologists and scientists; Xiao Tian has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
"This is an important area! Please leave immediately!"
The warehouse entrance was dark, and a cold, emotionless voice came from the shadows, while an infrared sight locked onto Xiao Tian.
If Xiao Tian does anything even slightly wrong, he will be riddled with bullets.
Xiao Tian remained calm and composed, taking out his work badge.
Soon, a fully armed guard came out, arrived at the warehouse entrance, and activated an identity verification device.
"Authentication failed, you will be executed!"
Xiao Tian curled his lip, thinking to himself, "What kind of ridiculous rules are these? A lot of people would probably have died here by now."
Fortunately, the work badges, along with the unique password provided by Director Sawah, were successfully authenticated, saving the hidden guards from death.
"Are you sure you want to go in dressed like this?" The guard stopped Xiao Tian and kindly reminded him.
"It's just a little radiation, no need to make a fuss."
Upon hearing this, the guards couldn't help but sneer.
Do they still remember how some warehouse workers, relying on their good health and strong immunity, didn't wear radiation protection suits, or even didn't notice when their suits were torn? A year after they left the warehouse, the grass in a certain cemetery was almost a meter tall.
Kind advice was ignored, and the guards, without saying much, let them pass.
After finding and collecting the materials in the warehouse, Xiao Tian left under the guards' stares as if he were looking at a dead man.
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The mysterious events in the Bermuda Strait left GUTS members Shinjo and Horii looking worried.
This strait is inherently dangerous, a globally renowned no-go zone, but from the perspective of the Space Defense Bureau, it is actually just an abandoned third base hidden beneath a mysterious disguise.
But the abnormal energy fluctuations at this abandoned third base have really messed things up for the two of them.
" Yazumi, we've searched all over the base but haven't found any unusual energy frequencies," Horii, carrying a special energy monitoring radar, reported to headquarters.
" Horii, wait a moment while my computer updates."
At this moment, Yazumi was very excited; his baby was about to level up!
After the upgrade, his computer can easily contact satellites in outer space through special channels, effectively preventing signal interference caused by magnetic field disturbances. In addition, it is equipped with a unique new energy power generation system to effectively prevent the computer from shutting down due to power failure.
Furthermore, the upgraded computer's performance has increased dozens of times, and its computing power has increased by a hundredfold, nearly a thousandfold!
Upgrade complete!
"Boots up in half a second! Awesome!"
"Fantastic! We can pinpoint abnormal energy frequency fluctuations more precisely! Also, what kind of function is this? Isn't the Bermuda Strait a place that satellites can't normally photograph? So what's going on with this footage?" Yazumi was stunned.
Xiao Tian, who was explaining the new equipment in detail to Daigo, Rena, and Megumi Iruma, glanced at it but didn't explain to Yazumi.
Currently, Yazumi's computer can be described as a supercomputer, and it also has super optical brain capabilities, small-scale defense, large-scale destruction systems, and other capabilities that Yazumi will develop on its own.
Furthermore, in order to maintain world peace, the supercomputer, in accordance with Xiao Tian's wishes, has a secret triggering scheme in its background that can connect to the user's fingers through the computer keyboard, link neurons, judge the user's mental fluctuations, and score the abnormal and malicious values of the computer's use.
If any thief attempts to use this computer to compromise the base's defense system or use its armed systems to attack innocent people, the perpetrator will be severely punished with a covert injection of neurotoxin, resulting in instant death.
"Sri Lanka No. 1!"
Daigo was marveling at the small object in his hand. At first glance, it looked like a miniature toy, a small hand, but it turned out to be a special high-explosive energy bomb.
If you encounter danger and the enemy demands your surrender, simply throw a small Q at them.
When the enemy calls you an idiot, verbally abuses you, threatens to come over and greet your whole family, and even resorts to physical violence, the enemy has already embarked on their journey to the Western Heaven Paradise.
" Xiao Tian, this cigar is actually a firearm! How did you come up with such an idea?!"
Vice Captain Munakata, with a cigar in his mouth, used his tongue to trigger a clever little feature inside the cigar's mouthpiece. With a certain amount of force, a laser beam about half a centimeter thick suddenly burst out from the front of the cigar, piercing through the scrap steel and shattering multiple layers of steel plates in the wall, ultimately leaving charred marks on the toilet wall.
"Who is it!" a terrified scream rang out.
"It's the voice from the next department! Oh no!" Munakata's heart skipped a beat.
"That's incredibly powerful! Go check it out quickly, lest someone get shot!"
Xiao Tian remained calm and continued to introduce the resources he had brought.
"That laser cigar the vice-captain just used could pierce through a monster's leather armor."
"So powerful!" Daigo, the human form of the Giant of Light, was quite shocked.
"If you don't believe me, just wait until the monster comes out and try it!"
"Captain, things are bad! Evil aliens have appeared at the Third Base! Horii and Shinjo are in trouble!" Yazumi exclaimed.
"Hehehe, the time has come to test the new equipment, everyone, let's get going." Xiao Tian grinned mischievously.
" Rena, Daigo, you two should move out as soon as possible."
Megumi Iruma gave the order, her gaze fixed on Daigo's departing figure, her eyes filled with a profound meaning.
"Manager Xiao, let's continue our discussion about your new equipment."
"Okay! No problem!"
In the Bermuda Strait, two new-type Victory Kunpeng forcefully broke through the clouds, transforming into deep-sea metal 'monsters' and entering the third base.
Inside the base, the Deepwater Metal 'monster' transformed into its Tracer form and flew around the not-so-large space.
"That's so stable!"
" Daigo, this new fighter jet feels just like my body; I can control it with ease. It's amazing!"
"Yes, Yazumi, send the coordinates to me and Rena!"
