"I know! Because the intelligence department is important, and because you trust me!"
Sheng Huaiqiang looked very serious.
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "In the future, I will gradually transfer the elites of the field team to your intelligence department. The intelligence department will become the eyes of our base, and I must ensure that these eyes are in the hands of people I trust!"
Sheng Huaiqiang nodded emphatically: "I understand! I will not let you down!"
Jiang Wu then looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Ming, as the captain of the field operations team, please report on the recent situation of the field operations team."
"Chief, the field team currently consists of three squads, one of which is led by Captain Lao Hei and has 25 members."
"The second team is led by Peng Gang and has a total of 21 members."
"Team Three is led by Captain Tan Xiong and has a total of 20 members."
"The three teams, including the team leader, have a total of 69 members. In the past week, they have recaptured five villages and rescued 72 survivors. In addition, 42 people joined the team on their own initiative."
At this point, Wu Ming's eyes lit up with excitement.
More than 110 people were saved in 7 days!
As a passionate police officer who once wanted to serve the people, he was so excited that he would wake up laughing in his sleep.
What I'm doing now is far more meaningful than my previous dreams!
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Well done, Wang Xi. Tomorrow night, give each member of the field team two jin of crocodile meat as a reward."
Having followed the field operations team every day, Jiang Wu was already familiar with these data.
The reason for mentioning it again at the meeting was simply to express concern for Wu Ming and the field operations team.
"Thank you, Chief!" Wu Ming exclaimed excitedly.
Two pounds of crocodile meat!
This thing has become a real treasure.
Even though I only eat a little bit each day, I can feel my body getting better and better these days.
Jiang Wu then looked at the bookworm and said, "Bookworm, what do you say?"
"Chief, our equipment department recently used automotive spring steel plates to create 80 uniformly shaped pointed machetes."
"Did you bring any samples?" Jiang Wu asked curiously.
The bookworm nodded, picked up a machete and a crossbow from the ground, and placed them on the table.
Jiang Wu glanced at the crossbow in surprise, then took the machete and examined it carefully.
This machete, including the steel handle, is about 90 centimeters long.
It has a pointed tip with a slight curve, and is entirely black except for the blade, which flashes with a metallic white light.
It feels great, but it's too light, probably only a few pounds. It's useless for Jiang Wu, but it's perfectly adequate for ordinary team members.
"Excellent! Starting tomorrow, the entire field team will be equipped with these machetes!"
Jiang Wu was still a little excited. He had long since looked down on the miscellaneous cold weapons used by the current field operations team.
Unexpectedly, after just casually mentioning it to the bookworm, he actually led his team to create the new weapon.
Indeed, everyone has their own expertise; it would be a waste to put him in the field team to kill zombies.
Jiang Wu handed the knife to Wu Ming, then looked at the crossbow and asked, "What is the meaning of this crossbow?"
The bookworm picked up the crossbow, loaded it with a bolt, and handed it to Jiang Wu, explaining, "This is a crossbow that I designed and made myself based on the information. Its effective range is only a little over 100 meters, but it can guarantee accuracy and lethality within a 50-meter range. Each bolt can also be recycled."
Jiang Wu took the crossbow and examined it carefully.
The crossbow was only about fifty centimeters long, completely black, and had some rollers on it, making it look quite complex.
It looks great, but I wonder how powerful it is...
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu took the crossbow and shot it at the outer wall.
With a "whoosh," the crossbow bolt pierced deeply into the wall.
Jiang Wu walked over, pulled out the crossbow bolt, looked at the deep pit, and gasped.
These walls are made of red brick!
That bookworm is truly amazing, being a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering and Precision Instruments at Tsinghua University. He's incredibly talented.
Jiang Wu drew his pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the hole.
The bullet holes were shallower than the crater left by the crossbow bolt.
Sure enough, pistol bullets are significantly less penetrating than crossbow bolts.
Jiang Wu didn't know the underlying principles.
But he was too lazy to think about it. Wouldn't it be better to put that little bit of mental energy into other things that didn't require much brainpower?
Curious, I asked, "How efficient is the production of this hand crossbow?"
The bookworm replied, "With the current manpower in the equipment department, it would take two days to make such a crossbow, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. To mass-produce such crossbows, we need to set up a dedicated production line."
"For future development, I suggest that the base set aside a separate area to establish a dedicated medical equipment factory."
Jiang Wu subconsciously looked at Bai Feiming, who smiled and nodded.
"Alright, bookworm, the specific location and size of the equipment factory can be discussed and decided by you, Fatty Sun, and Wang Xi. Fei Ming can make the final decision."
Jiang Wu was too lazy to think about things he didn't understand, so he just dumped them all on Bai Feiming.
Bai Feiming then spoke up, "Since we're on the topic, I was also about to raise a question. Recently, when I was discussing the base planning with Fatty Sun and a few others, we discovered a problem: we don't really understand the overall planning."
"I suggest setting up an engineering department and finding professionals from among the survivors to plan the base and develop a construction plan. Everyone has their own expertise, and I think we should have some talent in this area among the hundreds of people in our base."
Jiang Wu readily agreed with Bai Feiming's suggestion, nodding and saying, "Let's do as Feiming says. Wang Xi will arrange this matter, and Feiming, you will confirm the final candidate."
