"Currently, we have mastered the complete set of technologies from breeding and seedling cultivation to large-scale field management. We plan to expand the planting area of this mutant sweet potato to more than 5,000 mu in the next few months!"
At this point, Li Li's voice suddenly rose, filled with pride: "According to calculations, once these 5,000 mu of mutated sweet potatoes are fully mature, the yield of their tubers and vines can not only fully meet the daily vegetable needs of nearly 800,000 people in the two cities."
"The sugar extracted from its tubers can meet the basic sugar needs of these 800,000 people throughout the year!"
"This means that we will soon achieve complete self-sufficiency in the two key survival resources, vegetables and sugar! Our ability to withstand risks will take a qualitative leap!"
Jiang Wu got interested and put the mutated sweet potato in his mouth and took a bite.
After chewing for two seconds, Jiang Wu's eyes lit up even more.
It's so sweet!
It's like it's been mixed with honey!
And this mutated sweet potato has an incredibly high yield, doesn't it?
Planting just 5,000 mu (approximately 333 hectares) is enough to meet the needs of 800,000 people—that's outrageous!
Jiang Wu couldn't help but praise, "Well done! Your Ministry of Agriculture has made a great contribution! Wang Xi, after the meeting, go and tally up the figures and give each person in the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture a reward of 30 jin of level-two evolved beast meat."
Wang Xi respectfully replied, "Yes, Chief!"
Zheng Juan and Li Li were extremely excited.
Each person will be rewarded with 40 catties of level 2 evolved beast meat!
This is truly a windfall!
They shouted excitedly at the same time, "Thank you, Chief!"
Jiang Wu glanced at the heads of other departments and found that they weren't particularly interested in the others.
These can be arranged by Bai Feiming or Wang Xi.
He glanced at Chen Weimin and Lao Hei, then looked at Wang Xi and asked, "Wang Xi, what's the current situation with the army?"
Wang Xi respectfully reported: "Chief, the First Army currently has three field brigades. The First and Second Brigades are the original units, and each brigade has approximately [number missing] personnel."
"The original Third Brigade Commander Peng Gang and Deputy Brigade Commander Tan Xiong obeyed the orders of headquarters and led the entire brigade to break away from the First Army, becoming the current Independent First Brigade."
"Therefore, the current Third Brigade of the First Army is a newly formed unit with a total of 9,000 people, and its commander is Chen Jian."
"Including the logistics troops, the military special operations regiment, and the reconnaissance troops, the First Army now has a total of [number] personnel."
"The First Independent Brigade currently comprises three infantry and armored regiments, one artillery regiment, one reconnaissance battalion, and reinforced logistics units, with a total strength exceeding [number missing] people."
"The Third Army Evolver Legion currently has 8,950 Evolvers, plus 5,000 logistics personnel, for a total of approximately [number missing] people."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "There are already 8,950 evolved beings? How come there are so many more all of a sudden?"
He recalled that just a month or two ago, there were only about 6,000 evolved beings.
Wang Xi nodded and said, "Yes, Chief. In the past two months, more and more people have become evolved beings, especially after the heavy snow, the number of people becoming evolved beings has surged."
"At its peak, more than two hundred people in Fuxing City became evolved beings in a single day."
Jiang Wu nodded thoughtfully.
This likely represents the fact that more and more ordinary people have reached the limit of their accumulated wealth.
Then, the heavy snow may carry even more of that mysterious essence.
The combination of these two factors led to more and more people becoming evolvers.
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "This is only the number of evolved humans that the Third Army currently has. I have ordered the First Army and the Independent Brigade to re-establish special operations battalions so that they also have a certain number of evolved humans to cope with the increasingly dangerous environment."
"If we include the Second Army, the number of evolved beings that our Huaxia Revival now possesses should exceed 100,000."
Jiang Wu affirmed, "Indeed, we also need to leave more evolved humans for other units. In this world, without enough evolved humans, it's easy to be caught off guard by unexpected situations."
Speaking of this, Jiang Wu thought of Liu Qianqian's mutated cats and dogs and continued, "In addition, I was wondering if we could equip each brigade-level unit with a mutated cat or dog with a good sense of smell and alertness, which would greatly increase the safety of the troops."
Bai Feiming smiled slightly and said, "Then we can only wait until Xiao Hei and Qianqian's mutant dogs give birth to puppies."
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Anyway, mutant dogs grow fast, so there's no rush."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xi and said, "Wang Xi, continue."
Wang Xi continued his report: "The Second Legion on Lady Blood Maiden's side currently has about 40,000 people, but the specific situation is unknown."
"The First Army Corps, the Second Army Corps, the Third Army Corps, plus the Independent First Brigade, now our main force for the rejuvenation of China has exceeded 110,000."
"In addition to the main force, four garrison divisions have now been formed, among which the First Garrison Division has a total of 10,000 men, and its commander is Chen Weimin."
"The Second Garrison Division has 10,000 men, and its commander is Lao Hei. These two garrison divisions mainly operate in Fuxing City and its surrounding areas."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Weimin and Lao Hei stood up at the same time, saluted Jiang Wu, and shouted loudly, "Chief! Thank you for your trust!"
Jiang Wu smiled slightly at the two men and said, "You two are among the earliest followers of mine. I have seen your achievements. Keep up the good work."
Their eyes were filled with gratitude. "Yes, Chief!"
Only then did he sit down neatly and efficiently.
Jiang Wu then looked at Wang Xi, signaling her to continue.
Wang Xi took a deep breath and continued his report: "The Third Garrison Division has a total of 10,000 men and is currently stationed in the Third Fuxing City. The division commander is Yuan Weijie."
"The 4th Garrison Division, numbering 10,000 men, is currently stationed in the Second Fuxing City!"
"These four garrison divisions are responsible for defending the city on one hand, and clearing out the zombies in the surrounding area on the other. The total strength is 40,000 men."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "So, the Huaxia Fuxing Army already has 150,000 troops. That's quite a large army."
All the executives present looked proud.
In such times, the fact that such a massive army can still be mustered is truly a beacon of hope for humanity's rejuvenation!
Humanity's hope!
Wang Xi then continued, "Chief, in addition to these 150,000 troops, we also have a hidden army, namely mercenaries."
"Now, all major cities have set up mercenary departments, and the number of registered mercenaries has exceeded 40,000! The number of active mercenaries on a daily basis exceeds 30,000!"
"In the past month, these mercenaries have eliminated more than 300,000 zombies! They even eliminated more than 40 level-two zombies!"
"Although these mercenaries have suffered some casualties, with more than 20 dying in the past month, they have also greatly improved the overall strength of the mercenaries!"
"If we want to expand our recruitment again, these mercenaries will definitely be the best source of manpower!"
