Chapter 032 Equipment Distribution
The rebel fighters immediately lined up and stepped forward to receive their gifts one by one.
Zhang Sirui first briefly asked about the equipment status of each resistance soldier, and replaced all faulty equipment.
Rebel soldiers who do not need to replace their equipment can receive some other compensation.
These updated mechanical prosthetics, smart guns, etc. will be gathered together for unified processing. They can be disassembled, sold, and some of the funds can be recovered.
The eyes of the rebel soldiers who received the new equipment lit up and they couldn't let go of them.
The packaging boxes of these equipment all have the logo of Icefield Defense Group.
The Icefield Defense Corporation is the top conglomerate in the Old Land and also a powerful military-industrial complex.
The weapons and equipment they produce are recognized as the most sophisticated equipment in the entire Old Land!
The only drawback may be that it is a bit expensive.
Before, the rebel soldiers rarely got their hands on the Icefield Defense Group's equipment because they were reluctant to spend money on it.
The weapons and equipment used by the rebels were varied, including those from the Black Umbrella Group, the Hi-Tech Group, and the Fujido Group.
Even most of the rebel soldiers used weapons and equipment that were produced by the Chen Group itself and were of very average quality.
The big chaebols in this world attach great importance to the development of the military industry because they have to frequently engage in corporate wars.
Except for groups like medical, education, and tourism that are unable to develop military industries and turn to the Icefield Defense Group for armed protection, comprehensive conglomerates like the Fujido Group all have their own military industries.
The weapons of these consortiums also have their own characteristics.
For example, the weapons and equipment of the Fujido Group are notoriously prone to minor flaws and are not very easy to use, but they are cheap.
The weapons and equipment produced by the Chen Group in its OEM business are the most common and lowest-level equipment, which are much worse than those of the Fujido Group.
The reason is very simple. For a top military industrial consortium like Icefield Defense Group, all high-tech weapons and equipment are self-produced and sold in-house, and are highly confidential. How could they possibly outsource them to Chen's consortium?
The Chen Group's military OEM business is only to meet the weapons development needs of some small and medium-sized groups and take a small part of the orders.
So the rebel soldiers could only make do with what they had.
But now, the rebel soldiers' weapons and equipment, which were originally of varying quality, have been comprehensively updated and are all high-quality equipment produced by the Icefield Defense Group.
Although in the entire Icefield Defense Group's weapons system, they can only afford mid- and low-end equipment at present, but compared with the original equipment, it has already made a significant leap!
Soon it was Zhou Lei's turn.
He said to Zhang Sirui, "Third brother, I just replaced the auxiliary chip of my mechanical prosthesis, and now there is no malfunction. My gun is also normal, so there is no need to replace it with a new one."
Zhang Sirui smiled and said, "You don't really need to replace your mechanical prostheses and guns, but I think you should need this thing."
As Zhang Sirui spoke, he took out a long box from a pile of supplies and handed it to Zhou Lei.
Zhou Lei opened the box with some doubt, and found that there was an extremely exquisite alloy long sword inside!
He grasped the hilt of the knife in shock, and gently pulled it out of the scabbard. He found that the blade was flashing with a cold light, and it was obvious that it was a sword made of a special alloy.
Zhou Lei was stunned: "Third brother, this..."
Zhang Sirui explained: "This batch of alloy swords was specially requested by the captain."
"The blade is made of C-grade metal, and the scabbard is made of D-grade metal. The price of a knife like this is slightly more expensive than the smart rifles you usually use."
"This batch of swords is prepared for the brothers who have achieved remarkable results in training in "Embers Are Going Out". Zhou Lei, as the manager of the experience store, you should be equipped with better equipment."
The so-called alloy in this world is somewhat different from the concept of alloy in Chen She’s previous life. It specifically refers to a special alloy produced after adding space-time particles.
According to the strength of the alloy, it is roughly divided into different grades, the highest being S grade.
The higher the grade and strength of the alloy, the more space-time particles are consumed. In addition to space-time particles, the original materials are also very precious, so the price will increase exponentially with each upgrade.
Being able to provide the rebels with a series of C-grade alloy swords is already a very costly act.
Zhou Lei took the alloy sword, but instead of walking away happily immediately, he became entangled.
Although he couldn't let go of this alloy sword, he obviously felt that he was wasting it.
Zhou Lei is very self-aware. He feels that he is still a long way from being a true master of cold weapon combat. Wouldn't it be a complete waste to hold such a knife in his hand?
Zhang Sirui saw his hesitation and said, "Don't worry. The fact that you can make rapid progress in "Embers Are Going Out" is enough to show your talent in this area. If you feel embarrassed , continue to hone your cold weapon combat skills and strive to be worthy of this sword as soon as possible."
The other rebels cast envious glances.
Many people regretted not giving their best in the training for "Embers Are Going Out".
Their behavior is not entirely due to laziness.
The reason is simple: although everyone knows how powerful a cold weapon master is, on the one hand, they think it is impossible for them to become masters of cold weapon combat, and on the other hand, they feel that they simply cannot get a suitable weapon.
The reason why such an alloy sword is more expensive than common smart firearms is because this special alloy has the effect of cutting iron like mud.
Cutting a normal smart gun is no different from cutting tofu.
Be it protective clothing, mechanical prostheses or smart guns, they will all be cut in two with one knife!
As their strength continues to increase and genetic and mechanical modifications continue to deepen, the lethality of conventional firearms bullets to these top masters is constantly decreasing.
Therefore, some experts who use firearms as their main fighting method must purchase more expensive and technologically advanced guns in the later stages, and even the gun bodies must be made of special alloys.
Fighting with cold weapons has unique advantages.
But even so, many rebel fighters do not have a strong motivation to hone their cold weapon combat skills. On the one hand, this kind of combat skill is very slow and difficult to hone; on the other hand, without powerful weapons, their abilities cannot be fully utilized!
For ordinary people, guns are ultimately more useful.
Training marksmanship is relatively simple, efficient and quick, and various smart firearms are also relatively easy to obtain.
But some cold weapons made of high-grade metals are more difficult to deal with.
For these rebel soldiers, if they only have fighting skills but no good weapons, isn't it all in vain?
However, seeing that Zhou Lei and others had only made good progress in "The Embers Are Going Out", the captain directly gave them C-level alloy swords, which was a huge incentive for other rebel soldiers!
Many people have made up their minds to train hard after returning, and fight the man who persuades people to quit for 300 rounds in "Embers Are Going Out", so as to get an alloy sword of their own as soon as possible!
All the rebel soldiers got the weapons and equipment they wanted. Those who received mechanical prosthetic limbs will have to go to the prosthetic doctor at the headquarters to replace them later.
Just then, a rebel soldier raised a question.
"Third brother, this is a large-scale equipment upgrade, and they are all high-end products from the Icefield Defense Group. Do we still have money to buy other large equipment?"
"The latest multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles, combat drones, floating fortresses, etc., all cost money!"
After this statement was made, other rebel soldiers also felt that something was wrong.
Because everyone is tired of being poor and used to living frugally, it is easy for people to feel uncomfortable when suddenly becoming wealthy.
Zhang Sirui smiled and explained, "We don't have any plans to purchase large equipment this time. Our main goal is to improve the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers."
"As for why, please ask the captain to explain it to everyone personally."
The rebel soldiers all looked at Chen She with conflicting expressions.
On the one hand, they loved these new equipment and would never give them back; but on the other hand, they also wanted to get some large equipment, because in some key battles, these large equipment could often play a role in turning the tide of the battle.
Although everyone likes to hold new equipment in their hands, many people still have doubts about whether this decision is correct.
Chen She was well prepared.
Even the people in charge were completely fooled, let alone these soldiers who didn't have much idea.
He cleared his throat and briefly repeated the profound ideas he had spoken at the meeting of responsible persons.
Especially at the end, he made a few impromptu remarks regarding the current situation of the rebel soldiers.
"I know that everyone has the most resolute will to fight, and they can't wait to pick up their equipment and fight those big chaebols to the death! But our struggle must be done in a way that is appropriate, and we can't just act recklessly. Every stage has its own goals."
"Everyone's goal now is to train well, constantly make up for shortcomings, and improve your combat skills. There is no need to think too much about other things."
"In the near future, we will not only purchase a large number of advanced equipment, but also find ways to develop our own. One day, we will build the resistance army into an invincible army that is richer and better equipped than all the big tycoons in the old land!"
Chen She's passionate speech prompted the resistance fighters to raise their hands and cheer.
"The resistance will win!"
"The resistance will win!"
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm and everyone had a smile on their face.
Zhang Sirui couldn't help but nodded slightly. Now it seems that it is indeed necessary to update everyone's equipment.
Although those who have survived until now are battle-hardened and determined resistance fighters, they are still human after all.
The resistance fighters will also become tired and confused, and will gradually question whether their goals can be achieved and how long it will take to achieve them.
And Chen She has comprehensively updated weapons and equipment for everyone this time, so that the fruits of development can benefit every resistance soldier universally and evenly. This will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the morale and cohesion within the resistance!
Chen She was also very satisfied.
With the same amount of money, if these rebels were to purchase large weapons and equipment, they would definitely be eager to use these large equipment to cause trouble. They can't just leave them in the warehouse and collect dust, right?
With the current approach, the overall strength of the resistance army has not improved very significantly, and the focus will still be on the Mewtwo industry for a long time to come.
And those alloy swords will also make the rebel soldiers more immersed in the daily training of "Embers of Demise", making them realize their own weakness and the distance of the goal.
After distributing all the newly purchased equipment, Chen She felt that the crisis caused by the unexpected popularity of "Xian Ting Wang Bu" had finally passed safely.
Next, we can focus our energy on the Super Dream Experience Store!
