Cobweb-like wires enveloped the city from mid-air.

The smoke from the chimney smelled pungent, annoying.

Workers in felt hats and suspenders are active in every assembly line workshop - they feed the steel-poured boilers with blood and sweat, and breed monsters that innovate and destroy everything for the world.

Finally, the first cry of industrial civilization came out from the red-hot feeding port!

…

The height of the field of view restricts Lu Fuyan's pattern.

He didn't know Zhao Manyun's thoughts, and he didn't know what the other party was planning.

Fortunately, the changes in the First Republic are much simpler and more straightforward than the complex and treacherous human relationships.

…

【Discovery of strategic materials】

[Strategic Material Replenishment↑↑]

【12.3...18.1...23.9...】

…

The previous conjecture was correct.

The power of the evil gods can indeed be processed into raw materials required for [production and construction], and promote development in the form of strategic materials.

This means that the industrial capacity of the First Republic has been replenished, and the entire industrial assembly line has been injected with new vitality!

With sufficient raw materials, not only can the existing production lines be used at full capacity to make up for the army's weapons consumption, but it will even continue to expand the scale of the industry and build more industrial facilities in the First Republic!

Lu Fuyan, who was accustomed to living a hard life, first tentatively invested in the construction of 4 factories according to the ratio of 1:3 to the civilian and military - this move consumed a total of 4% of the [strategic material] reserves, and successfully doubled the industrial capacity of the First Republic!

Lao Lu switched to the logistics interface again, and after waiting for a while, he found that the value of the [Industry] column had indeed changed from 5 to 9.

The increase in the proportion of migrant workers has satisfied the gap in [consumer goods] brought about by [improving the working environment], and the hunger and fatigue that lingered on Lu quickly subsided;

On the other hand, the changes brought about by the increase in the number of military factories are even more obvious!

According to the data provided by the [Logistics] interface, the equipment of the active forces of the First Republic is only 34%. The increase in military production capacity has made this value increase rapidly!

Even counting the negative effects of daily consumption, the time to fill a full load has been shortened from 46 hours to 26 hours... This means that if war does not break out today, the army of the Republic will be fully equipped with new weapons at noon tomorrow!

So based on the above data, it is not difficult to draw the following conclusions:

It is known that according to the current production efficiency, it takes 279 hours for a military factory to complete the refitting of the army, in other words, each military industry can complete about 8.6% of the production of weapons and equipment every day;

Replenishing equipment from scratch will consume a total of about 60 [Strategic Materials] reserves, so each factory will consume about 5 [Strategic Materials] per day.

"To sum up, if only the scientific and technological drawings of [Primary Body Transformation] are considered, the configuration of 7 military factories is enough to maintain a relatively scientific supply efficiency... But compared to the depreciation of daily consumption, the loss of equipment caused by injuries in battle is the big one! ”

- In fact, after the liberation from the slave exchange, the proportion of troops in the First Republic who received new equipment once exceeded 43%.

However, after several battles of different intensities, this data created an equipment gap of about 10% in a very short period of time!

You must know that Lu Fuyan's most serious injury last night was actually a heavy punch from Guila's death.

If calculated according to this ratio, it is equivalent to that punch directly knocking out nearly one-tenth of Lu Fuyan's combat power... The First Republic's production line, on the other hand, took more than 2 hours to fill this gap.

This means that once it enters a state of war, the existing industrial system is completely unable to cope with a large-scale exchange of fire in the "pair" style!

However, according to the plan, Lu Fuyan will soon participate in the Citizen Duel Competition, if he doesn't make changes as soon as possible, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will have to drop the chain...

"It seems that the scale of industry must continue to expand! I'll see how much more I need to build..."

According to Lu's own expectations, it is best to shorten the process of changing equipment for the whole army to less than 2 hours.

To do this, the number of military workers must be more than 90.

Taking into account the demand for [consumer goods], the number of civilian factories must also be expanded to about 30 at the same time.

According to the conclusion of the first phase of the pilot, the expansion of a factory will consume about 1 [strategic material], so according to this plan, about 115 copies of the initial investment alone will be required.

… And that's just the construction consumption!

After the completion of the plant, the consumption of maintaining full power production is linked to the type of equipment manufactured.

Considering that there is only one kind of [Primary Body Transformation] that can be put into production at this stage, these 90 military factories will consume nearly 20 [Strategic Materials] reserves per hour!

Such a huge consumption almost made Lu Fuyan's eyes dark...

Looking at his pitiful inventory, Lao Lu could only forcibly hold down the burning soul of infrastructure and put aside his thoughts on working hard for the time being.

"Let's see how many supplies you can get in one draw... After a while, the factory building was completed, and it could only be left empty to eat ashes. ”

… Matters related to the repatriation of strategic resource replenishment.

Thanks to the extremely high degree of matching between the divine power that Lu has now absorbed and himself, even if he subjectively limited the flow rate of divine power for safety, it only took about 5 minutes to successfully complete the energy extraction of the mutant in the end.

At this time, the [Strategic Materials] reserve value displayed on the [Logistics] interface stopped at 221.3 - after deducting the construction cost, it can probably support the whole army to reequip three times.

Although this reserve is much larger than in the past, it still does not meet Lu's psychological expectations on the whole.

But even so, Lao Lu was not in a hurry to ask Miss Zhao for other mutants to continue to "enjoy the feast".

Instead, he pulls his consciousness back into the real world, confirming his current state to the latter.

"How? I haven't changed much, have I? ”

Lu Fuyan tugged at the metal collar around his neck.

"Can this thing report readings in real time? Has my energy level increased? ”

"Don't worry, the divine power contained in the few mutations I selected is not high, as long as you don't attract further corrosion from the evil gods, you won't be able to reach the threshold of energy level jump if you 'eat' it all."

Miss Zhao pointed to her eyes as she spoke.

"Besides, I've been keeping an eye on your physical condition, and judging from the current situation, there are hardly any noticeable changes in the divine power in your body."

"Huh? I thought I'd sucked quite a bit..."

"If you think that the existing reserves of divine power are enough for you to use the corresponding supernatural abilities, you don't have to eat the rest right away."

“...”

Lu Fuyan didn't speak, he smiled bitterly twice, his eyes were still staring at the other mutants he had just taken out, like a greedy child looking at his favorite snack.

… According to common sense, Zhao Manyun, a senior transcendent, should immediately enter the parental control mode, block and criticize the unrestrained bear children.

But not only did she not do this, but instead took the initiative to hand the sealed bag containing the mutation to Lu Fuyan.

"Don't stare at it... Enough tube~"
