Alexey's death was a big blow to Zhang Fan. The defeat of the pen www.biquge.info also made Zhang Fan understand the strength of the allies, and if there was no secret weapon, it was basically impossible to defeat the allies.

"Zero! I need a special piece of equipment, one that will greatly speed up the collection of resources! If we continue to expand slowly like this, we are doomed to be consumed alive by the Allies! Zhang Fan solemnly pleaded to Zero!

"Hmmm! I see, brother! Give me a month, and Zero will definitely work with the engineering team to create a piece of equipment that satisfies my brother! "Zero guarantees!

The journey of developing new types of equipment is hard and tortuous, but under the special magic transformation ability of zero, this progress has been greatly compressed, and after nearly 20 days of research and development, a rather peculiar shape of equipment appeared in front of Zhang Fan.

This equipment is almost the equipment that Zero has been researching for the longest time since coming to this world, and in order to meet Zhang Fan's requirements, Zero has fully optimized it and almost achieved the best cost performance. This new type of equipment is referred to as the Gatherer by Zero. It is a special mining facility that combines the characteristics of ore refinery, mining vehicles, Soviet smashers and many other equipment in one!

The Soviet smashers were originally not of much use to Zhang Fan at all, so the manufacturing list has always only shown that it can be made, but it has never been made. This is a super street cleaner that resembles an Apocalypse Tank. They are fitted with sharp teeth, heavy-duty rollers, and an upgraded powerful engine that bulldozes everything. And now, after Zero's special magic change, the Gatherer has appeared, and the Gatherer has a heavy drum with huge fangs and sharp teeth of the Crusher, which can easily smash all kinds of objects, and even dig directly into the open-pit mine, and the huge cargo compartment at the tail is derived from the mining vehicle. In order to allow it to collect various resources without relying on any auxiliary facilities, Zero also installed a micro nanofabrication machine, which is slow to generate nanomaterials, but can be transformed while the collector collects the material, and basically when the collector collects enough material and returns to the base, the material of the entire carriage will be converted into nanomaterial. In addition, in order to greatly improve the work efficiency of these collectors, Zero has also specially installed an intelligent control system for these collectors, so that they can operate on their own without driving.

Although the Collector combines a lot of features, it is not expensive. After greatly simplifying the devices that they don't need, the cost of each of these gatherers is cheaper than that of a hammer tank, and the cost of a collector is only 500 units, which is really the price of cabbage among cabbage!

Zhang Fan was very satisfied with the data of the entire collector and immediately approved mass production!

Under the frenzied manufacturing of tank factories almost 24 hours a day, each tank factory can produce as many as ten Gatherers every day, and Zhang Fan has five tank factories in Vladivostok, that is, he can make fifty Gatherers per day, plus the Gatherers are amphibious, so the shipyard can also produce Gatherers. Five chariot factories and ten shipyards work together to produce one hundred and fifty Gatherers per day.

As soon as these gatherers go online, they automatically start looking for all kinds of resources to collect and turn them into nanomaterials, most often abandoned cars and various collapsed buildings in the city. After these discarded items were transformed by collectors, Zhang Fan obtained a large amount of nanomaterials. In just one month, Zhang Fan had built nearly 4,500 Gatherers, and the resources consumed by so many Gatherers were staggering, but the rewards were even more amazing. With these highly automated collectors, Zhang Fan's daily resources are increasing at an unimaginable rate!

In addition to transporting a considerable part of the resources to the city of North Sunderland in batches so that Major Vera can continue to consolidate the defense, all that remains is to expand the armament war in a big way!

Because in the previous monitoring of Zero, Zhang Fan found that the Rising Sun Empire was recently deploying troops in a large number of ways, with the intention of disgrace, and the Allied side of Gillith was not a fuel-efficient lamp!

After driving Major Vera's troops back to North Sunderland, Gillis returned a large number of cities previously occupied by the Red Legion to Soviet puppet President Cherdenko in exchange for a large amount of resources.

Therefore, Gillis, who has a lot of resources, is also desperately trying to build more air forces, especially super equipment such as the Pioneer gunboat, which is made by future technology companies, and cannot be produced by Allied airfields. So Gillis is exchanging a lot of resources with future tech companies for more Pioneer gunboats. According to this posture, he thinks that he has finished his battle!

However, Zhang Fan understands that the allies will never attack first, they will definitely wait until the Rising Sun Empire attacks the red army first, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!

However, what the allies and the Rising Sun Empire never expected was that after Zhang Fan had a gatherer, the resources were no longer limited by the Red Legion.

In order to expand the scope of conscription as much as possible, Zhang Fan sent a large number of conscription teams, these conscription squads did not aim to occupy cities, their goal was to secretly go to various cities to recruit soldiers. As long as these cities are not occupied, it is impossible for the other side to send troops to attack them, after all, the targets of the conscription team are very small. And now Zhang Fan's base camp Vladivostok City has long been made a fortress city by Zhang Fan, and there are not enough troops to attack Vladivostok City, which will definitely hit his head and break his blood!

By publicizing the Red Legion in the surrounding cities and broadcasting a video of Zhang Fan's speech, these conscription teams successfully recruited a large number of mobilized soldiers in the surrounding cities.

During this period of time when the three parties were secretly preparing for each other, Zhang Fan not only harvested a large amount of resources, but also obtained a large number of troops, and because he did not disperse the troops, the fox of Gillis did not catch any opportunity to take advantage of, so the two have been safe and sound! However, Zhang Fan knew that this was the last trace of calm before the storm, and now as long as there was a fuse, it would re-trigger the three-way melee!

And this fuse came quickly!

The previous commander of the Rising Sun Empire, Kenji Amanishi, was violently attacked by the Empire after returning to the Rising Sun Empire, and in order to wash away the shame of the Empire, the Rising Sun Empire sent a new commander, General Darang. General Tatsuro is the son of the emperor, and this attack by the emperor's son is to completely defeat Zhang Fan's red army and show the glory of the Rising Sun Empire!

And the Rising Sun Empire has also requisitioned a large number of troops for this expedition, preparing to completely defeat the Red Navy at one time, and never give the Red Legion any respite!
