Nine State, Southwest Province.
On the construction site that stretched for thousands of kilometers, millions of workers were practicing the Nine Dragon Fist against the morning sun.
No matter where he was, he would practice the Nine Dragon Fist from six to seven in the morning.
The construction of this highway was much smoother than expected.
If it was in the past, there would be many problems with construction projects in the plateau area.
One of the most important problems was the altitude sickness of the workers.
People who lived in the plains would have altitude sickness more or less when they came to the highlands of the Southwest Province.
In order to build this highway, the Ministry of Construction had taken various safety measures.
There were many medical personnel and first-aid facilities on the construction site.
However, to everyone's surprise, not many people had altitude sickness.
Even though everyone was working, nothing unusual happened.
Soon, they discovered that this was the effect of the Nine Dragon Fist!
The Nine Dragon Fist improved his physique, and even his altitude sickness disappeared.
With the hard work of millions of workers, the highway was taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the other side, the plan for the Path to Heaven was progressing smoothly.
On the other side, the weapons and equipment storage was in trouble.
There were several arsenals in the military headquarters. They were located in secret areas of Nine Regions and were strictly guarded by fully armed soldiers.
Due to the special nature of the arsenal, the scale was not very large. The emphasis was on security and safety.
Now, Xing Wuming had to prepare more than ten million soldiers to fight in the Otherworld with cold weapons, and he had to finish preparing them in three months.
The production of the arsenal was not enough!
Several factories in the country had already started production under Xing Wuming's arrangements.
However, according to the current production, it was not enough to produce the weapons and equipment that Ye Xuan requested in three months.
It was not easy to produce steel equipment that could easily cost millions or tens of millions.
Ye Xuan's request was not only cold weapons, but also well-made cold weapons!
The weapons used in battle were the same as ancient cold weapons, but this did not mean that they were of the same quality as ancient cold weapons.
In ancient times, the manufacturing process was not developed. Any stainless steel kitchen knife could be considered a divine weapon in ancient times.
The so-called hundred steel made in ancient times was not worth mentioning in the face of modern technology.
With the help of modern technology, it was possible to create a 'divine weapon' that was countless times better than the ancient ones!
To meet Ye Xuan's requirements, a complicated manufacturing process was required, which would take even more time.
Helpless, Xing Wuming could only ask Qian Mu and Lu Hongguo for help.
The production of the arsenal could not keep up, so they could only think of a way to hand over a portion of the weapons and equipment to the ordinary factories for production.
Xing Wuming, Qian Mu, and Lu Hongguo were discussing.
"I think we can hand over cold weapons such as spears, swords, and daggers to other factories. These things were not difficult to process and were easy to manufacture.”
Xing Wuming suggested.
" I have no objections," Qian Mu said." As long as the two of you have discussed it, I will provide financial support at any time."”
Lu Hongguo hesitated for a moment and said,"That's not a problem. Our country has a lot of steel processing plants." The problem is, how do we keep it a secret?"
"20 million spears, and they're forged from steel. If this gets out, it'll definitely cause a commotion.”
This was indeed a problem.
The storage of weapons and equipment was an operation that required strict confidentiality.
"Why don't we split up? He split the large orders into small orders and handed them to the factories. Coupled with the confidentiality agreement, it was to ensure that the news would not spread to the outside world.”
"Complicated weapons and equipment, such as bows, crossbows, armor, and so on, can be completed by the military's arsenal. As for weapons like spears, which required a large number of weapons but were not technically difficult, they were handed over to ordinary factories.”
Xing Wuming thought of this method.
Lu Hongguo didn't have a better idea, so he nodded and said,""Alright, let's do that."
In fact, if they had enough time, they could definitely come up with a perfect plan.
However, time was of the essence. They only had three months.
All the preparations and operations had to be completed within three months. Every department was very busy.
The Ministry of Industry had been helping the Ministry of Construction produce all kinds of materials recently. The construction of the Road to Heaven consumed a huge amount of materials every day.
Now, the Ministry of Industry had another task.
The military headquarters was also very busy. The entire army was in emergency training, regardless of whether they were recruits or veterans.
"Elder Qian, I have bad news for you.”
Lu Hongguo suddenly said.
"Bad news?"
Qian Mu was puzzled. Other than that, there were other difficulties?
"Our country's steel production is insufficient.”
Nine Regions actually had a lot of steel reserves, but the country was vast and had a large population. It had to be consumed in all aspects, so the amount of steel used was very large.
The annual steel production was only enough for domestic demand to achieve a balance between supply and demand.
But now, the construction of the Road to Heaven and the massive amount of weapons and equipment required an astronomical amount of steel raw materials!
When Qian Mu heard Lu Hongguo's words, he casually said,""Then let's import it. Steel raw materials are not valuable, especially in Australia.”
"Steel raw materials are indeed not worth much, but it can't withstand our huge demand. I reckon that other countries will take advantage of the situation to raise their prices. Ever since the invention of high-energy batteries, other countries have not been very friendly to us.”
What Lu Hongguo said was the truth. Don't look at the good relationship between the various countries on the surface, but in private, they all wanted to take advantage of each other.
Between countries, the struggle for benefits was the eternal theme.
The competition for benefits was a competition for resources and the economy!
This concerned the quality of life of all citizens.
"Increase the price?"
Qian Mu's eyes flashed.
This big shot from the Ministry of Finance, who could be ranked in the top five in Nine Regions, was going to be ruthless!
