"A lot of fresh blood?! What do you mean?"
Chen Yan was not mentally prepared for Yan Xiao's sudden request, so he subconsciously asked back.
Men often suffer from intermittent hearing loss.
This type of deafness is not a disease, but a genetically inherited character trait.
Specifically, no matter what you say, men often cannot hear it clearly the first time, and always need to ask you to repeat it a second time.
It is almost like before talking to Xiao Ai, you need to say "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai" first to activate Xiao Ai, and then explain your purpose or question to Xiao Ai clearly, and only then can you get an answer from Xiao Ai.
If you don't use the name "Xiao Ai" to activate this process, you will not get any response from Xiao Ai if you directly tell her your problem.
Men, in certain circumstances, possess similar characteristics.
“That’s what it means.”
Yan Xiao turned on the AR virtual screen in front of him and displayed some of the data on the screen in front of Chen Yan.
He continued, "Look, this is some war information that the Red Nation has synced with me. It contains statistics on some of the Red Nation's own losses in this war. Our Kahn Company is strong enough to rank among the top three of all the Red Nation's vassal forces, and therefore is highly valued by the Red Nation."
The Red Nation will promptly share and synchronize confidential information with our company. Correspondingly, the support our company needs to provide to the Red Nation will be greater and more robust than that of other companies. The Red Nation's expectations of our company will be significantly higher than those of other companies."
Chen Yan nodded as he looked at the data on the AR virtual screen. "I understand. Rights and obligations are equal. The more rights you enjoy, the more obligations you must fulfill. It's fair."
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, as you can see, the war between the Scarlet Nation and the Knights of Embers was extremely brutal. In addition to the many Awakeners and a very small number of Dominators who died in battle, there were also wounded dozens of times more than the number of casualties on both sides.
The injuries of these wounded soldiers ranged from mild to severe. Those with mild injuries could recover on their own and return to the battlefield in no time. However, those with severe injuries were much more troublesome. In addition to requiring specialized treatment, they also generally suffered from massive blood loss.
Although the awakened ones, especially the rulers, have extremely strong hematopoietic abilities, as long as the blood in their bodies is not drained on the spot, their own hematopoietic functions can basically recover slowly. The only difference is the length of time it takes.
However, there are always some people whose injuries are so severe that their blood-forming function is damaged. External transfusions are necessary to quickly replenish the body's blood-forming function, which has led to a huge loss of blood in the Red Nation during this period.
Chen Yan pondered, "The blood bank has been depleted, resulting in a shortage of blood? So the Crimson Nation assigned this task to us? Asking us to find a way to provide blood?"
Yan Xiao was very satisfied with Chen Yan's address of "we" and said with a smile, "Yes, normally, the blood bank of the Red Nation has very rich reserves. Because the Red Nation's internal governance is different from our Kahn Company, it is a truly high-pressure rule.
In the areas ruled by the Crimson Nation, there are specialized "blood slaves" whose purpose is to continuously draw blood and thus store up blood. The "blood slaves" are usually well-fed and well-maintained to ensure the quality of the blood they provide.
Of course, awakened ones can't become 'blood slaves'. Even a top power like the Scarlet Nation can't afford to use awakened ones as 'blood slaves'. 'Blood slaves' can only be selected by trying to find those with the lowest pollution levels and without other diseases.
But as the war progressed, its intensity and brutality clearly exceeded the Crimson Nation's expectations. The blood banks' reserves were being depleted, and the 'blood slaves' couldn't keep up, so they had no choice but to release the pressure externally, and that's when it hit us.
Chen Yan asked in confusion, "Since there are dedicated 'blood slaves', why not try to increase their number? I understand that the blood draw from those 'blood slaves' cannot exceed the limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the blood slaves will be directly drained to death. From a long-term perspective, it is very unprofitable.
But increasing the number of 'blood slaves' shouldn't be a problem, right? If the selection of 'blood slaves' is too strict, they can simply lower the standards. We're at war now, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. I don't think the people of the Red Nation lack even this much courage."
Yan Xiao shook his head and said, "It's not a question of courage, but rather a problem of unbalanced resource supply. 'Blood slaves' are, in essence, not producers, but rather those being provided for. As you said, lowering some of the selection criteria to increase the number of 'blood slaves' is theoretically feasible."
But the problem was that the frequency of blood supply to the "blood slaves" meant that none of them actually had the ability to produce blood, as their bodies were always in a very weak state. Furthermore, in order to ensure the quality of the blood, the "blood slaves" were specially prepared and conditioned on a daily basis.
On average, one "blood slave" required at least three people to support it. Therefore, each additional "blood slave" not only reduced the production capacity of one producer, but also consumed the productivity of three more producers to raise them, which directly reduced the production capacity of four producers.
Normally, these four producers were productive. If they hadn't become 'blood slaves', they could provide the Red Nation with the productivity of four people. But because of the 'blood slaves', the total number of people lost was eight.
Therefore, the current number of 'blood slaves' maintained by the Crimson Nation is actually the optimal value after careful calculation. It is the maximum number of 'blood slaves' that can be ensured without affecting the daily operations of the Crimson Nation. If it continues to increase, it will be difficult..."
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "But if I remember correctly, the blood in our blood bank is not sufficient. It's difficult to meet our own needs, so how can we use it to support the Red Nation? It's a drop in the bucket and will not have any effect. On the contrary, it will make us short of using the blood we have stored, which will cause delays."
Yan Xiao said with a piercing gaze, "That's right, that's why I came to discuss this with you. I know this is difficult, but you're the head of the production department, do you... have any ideas?"
