The time has slowly entered October. The autumn breeze is blowing, and the sky is high and cool, but it is not enough to open up the clouds of war that are suppressed in people's hearts.

Meng Xiang was watching the movements of the surrounding army every day, and much of the information on the radio was not necessarily true or timely.

"Cipher!" After a standard military salute, Rat Er handed Meng Xiang a telegram sent by the task force to Nanjing. He temporarily took the place of Rat One's staff officer, but his expression was a little more blunt, but it was also a little richer than Zhi Brain's expression.

After Meng Xiang had a lot of things, Rat Er became his temporary secretary. Although he is a handsome guy, Meng Xiang still has a little regret in his heart.

It's a shame that the traverser can't [***] take a handful. It's just that now I'm pressing step by step, and I really can't care about this.

It has been a week since Rat Yi, Zhao Shuxing and others arrived in Nanjing.

The journey was fairly smooth. The machine gun mounted on the car already has enough deterrent power. The official affairs, with the guidance of the British trading houses and the opening of the ocean, have not been greatly hindered. Moreover, the vehicles are transporting the medicines that are most needed on the front line.

At this time, a team led by Hu Yi and Rat San to the British Concession area in Shanghai to obtain some information at close range. Except for a period of time when radio control was affected a little, there was basically radio contact every day, which made Meng Xiang feel a lot more relieved.

The million in the base has not yet been gathered.

Because Meng Xiang calculated the time, in order to speed up the dispatch of troops, he opened five more barracks and scattered them outside the core area.

Coupled with the all-out production of weapons and medicines, the power was obviously insufficient, and as a last resort, Meng Xiang produced six more mining vehicles, plus the six newly purchased trucks, which could basically supply the needs of a power station.

Therefore, this choice is because even if the trucks are produced, according to the level of trucks before the end of World War I, the carrying capacity is very miserable, and it is inferior to the carrying capacity of the 20 or so trucks that Meng Xiang has now. It is better to transport it directly to the nearest power station by mining truck.

No matter how far or near the power station is, there is no need to pull cables, and the energy of each building can be supplied.

Meng Xiang was very strange about this. Zhi Brain gave an answer to wireless particle power transmission, which made him a little confused. He remembered that Tesla had done an experiment similar to wireless power transmission, but with the addition of particle prefixes, he didn't dare to analyze it randomly. It can only be classified as a high-tech category of the future, and honestly only cares about the application.

Originally, I planned to have an arms deal and quickly make up enough for 1 million, but there was an accident in the middle.

In the most recent arms deal, I ran into a third party. Although there was a squadron of guards who did not suffer a big loss, the transaction was interrupted, and the buyer who had been waiting for the robbery in advance lost part of the money.

In the end, Ma Yi received more than 300,000 yuan.

Meng Xiang originally thought of a transaction of more than 500,000 yuan, and his hope of making up enough for one million was disappointed.

It turned out that Meng Xiang had money in his hands, and the money came quickly, so he naturally spent more money. So now the money under his hand plus the money from selling drugs is only enough for more than 900,000 yuan, which is still a little short of 1 million.

Almost, it's bad, the base doesn't discount you at all.

And according to Ma Yi, who inquired about the news, the third party that came out this time has a background in the army, mainly because Meng Xiang's first two shipments are too attention-grabbing. The buyers on that road have also been temporarily cut off in a low-key manner, but new buyers have not yet developed. Although the arms trade is very prosperous, there is no eyeliner, and he still stares dryly.

Fortunately, there are not many funds left, only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and you can save enough by selling drugs again.

Meng Xiang didn't want to do much more, after all, the military had already set their sights on his piece of fat, and no one dared to guarantee what they would do.

If they are really brought in, the defense force of the base alone is still a little insufficient.

After all, there is no heavy fire support in the base yet. In the face of artillery fire from the military, there were not many opportunities for a counterattack. Only passively beaten, there is no fortress that cannot be broken.

There must be a cannon! A science center must be built before cannons can be produced in the tank factory.

In view of the fact that the base is prone to terrorizing the world, a decent headquarters has been built in the outermost barracks of several small hills, and the layout is very close to that of this era. The miners-soldiers were also transferred here.

These miners have been trained and already have some appearance. Meng Xiang didn't expect them to participate in the battle either, and in the second half of the training, their task became to listen to the news and find out the details of the surrounding counties. In this regard, they are much more flexible than clones.

……

On October 3, the devils invaded Texas. On the same day, Meng Xiang got 70,000 oceans for selling medicine.

After Meng Xiang listened to the broadcast of the devil's invasion of Texas, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and ordered categorically: "Build a science and technology center!" ”

The core area has been set aside, but the construction of the science and technology center still took three days to build. At this time, Meng Xiang only had less than 10,000 yuan left in his pocket.

Some time ago, there was a shortage of electricity, and the mining trucks ran to transport coal. However, the daily consumption needs money to support, so when the one million is scattered, Meng Xiang has no money at all.

If it was before, Meng Xiang was so anxious that he jumped when he had no money. But since the arms trade was launched, after handling a million, it is not a big deal.

Although, the last arms buyer has been disconnected, and another one can be found.

The weapons produced by the base are all qualified and high-quality products, and in troubled times, there is no need to worry about anyone buying them. And there are also equally lucrative drugs that can support the normal operation of the base, and Meng Xiang is not in a hurry.

After the construction of the science and technology center, Meng Xiang found that someone still needed to preside over it, and it needed scientists. But there are no scientists in the barracks, and each scientist is unique. Fortunately, Zhibrain hinted that in the case of a first-level base, a first-level engineer can replace the host.

Fortunately, Meng Xiang had 2 engineers in the production of experimental surnames before, Gong 1 and Gong 2, which came in handy at this time. Because only one engineer is needed, Gongyi settled in.

Meng Xiang also noticed that Gongyi was only a first-level identity, and checked his upgrade, but found that he was only upgraded at 10,000 points, and his merit points basically didn't move much.

"How do I upgrade an engineer?" Meng Xiang can only ask for help from the brain.

"Retrofit, repair, maintenance." After a simple answer, there was no longer any hint.

Meng Xiang only roughly understood, and ordered Gonger to go around and maintain it in the base.

Meng Xiang also checked his merit points by the way and found that there were already more than 50,000 points. Unknowingly, he has absorbed more than 40,000 meritorious points from two series of one-million-dollar events.

Seeing that half of the merits had been accumulated, Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask about the upgrade of the base.

Zhi Brain replied that as long as the commander reaches the level of the second-level commander, and the science and technology center meets the reserve of the second-level technology level, he only needs to take out another million yuan to be promoted to the second level.

He needs to reach the level of a second-level commander, and he already knows that he understands that it will cost one million to upgrade, but he is a little confused about what conditions the science and technology center meets.

"Scientists! Three real Level 2 scientists are needed. Zhi Brain replied calmly.

Really?

In the first level, there can be an engineer to temporarily replace it, but not in the second level?

Zhi Brain did not prompt again. So Meng Xiang has been thinking about how to train engineers to become scientists.

Thinking about it, there were not many results, so Meng Xiang had to let it go first, after all, he was still a long way from upgrading.

Now the most important thing, and what makes Meng Xiang the happiest, is that the tank factory can finally make artillery.
