The road from the company to the manor is very short; in fact, it only takes half an hour by bus, and even faster by taxi and subway.
The Bentley drove home in twenty minutes. Zhao Xiang, seeing the car return, rushed out to greet it, her face beaming with joy.
It makes me proud when my sister becomes famous!
"Xiangxiang, hug me!" Chu Nan ran towards Zhao Xiang after getting out of the car, and the two hugged and spun around excitedly.
Xue Qingshan and Tang Jiao covered their mouths and laughed; the manor was truly filled with the sounds of singing and dancing.
Wei Lun noticed their good mood, which bothered him as well.
"Xiangxiang, have you cooked yet? We're so hungry!"
Wei Lun asked with a smile, "Now that Chu Nan has left, Zhao Xiang is all alone here, so she must be quite busy."
"Report, Master, it's ready!"
"Please come in!"
Zhao Xiang gestured for everyone to come home.
The group entered amidst laughter and chatter. Inside, a large table was laden with delicious-smelling food.
Everyone put down their bags and sat down side by side to eat.
But there's a problem: Chu Nan isn't a maid anymore; she should be sitting down to eat.
However, Zhao Xiang was still a maid and had to stand, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. So Wei Lun spoke up.
"Xiangxiang, sit down and eat with me. Let's do it like this from now on. Don't always stand behind me. I don't need you to serve me."
As Wei Lun spoke, he pulled up a chair, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and invited Zhao Xiang to sit down and eat with him.
And so, a happy family enjoyed a pleasant dinner.
After dinner, Wei Lun called Li Shi again, asking him to send over a large amount of food, as well as some goods destined for the apocalypse.
In short, as Wei Lun's needs increased, the goods Li sent became increasingly suitable.
That night, Wei Lun did not rest in his room at the manor.
Instead, he secretly went to the apocalypse and spent the time there with Qin Mutong.
The next day, in the morning,
As Wei Lun reviewed recent events and information in the post-apocalyptic world, he felt quite gratified.
Dozens of tanks have already been manufactured at the military base, most of the laser weapon orders have been fulfilled, and the combat robots have also been replenished.
For now, everything seems relatively stable; after all, the post-apocalyptic world is actually characterized by polarization.
Some impoverished people survived entirely on protein supplements or the meat of exotic animals, which was extremely unpalatable.
However, in the guard unit, every meal consisted of pork trotters with rice, or simply steamed buns and rice. In short, they lived a normal life, a lifestyle many envied.
As for headquarters, it's quite normal for there to be a few cooks on hand.
Qin Mutong watched Wei Lun reading reports at the stone table, then took a cloak and covered him with it. The weather in the apocalypse was extremely unstable, sometimes very hot, sometimes very cold.
The recent weather has been very abnormal, which may be largely related to the melting of the polar ice caps.
The post-apocalyptic environment is becoming increasingly unsafe. Recently, volcanoes have erupted in some areas, and the most worrying earthquakes have also occurred.
"Honey, don't work too hard. There are others to help you look after things."
Qin Mutong said very understandingly that she had noticed something since she started following Wei Lun.
Wei Lun was a man who cared deeply about his people. The news he read primarily concerned the common people, and he knew that the biggest problem was food shortages.
Therefore, the technology of soilless culture has been brought up here.
As for the seeds? It's obvious that Wehrmacht will bring in a large quantity of seeds from the modern era.
Qin Mutong was also very happy. If these hydroponically grown vegetables and grains could grow, then the food crisis of the apocalypse would be resolved.
Just as Wei Lun and Qin Mutong were discussing the soilless culture advancement plan, a message arrived.
Through the trans-dimensional communication headset, Zeng Guangtian reported on the latest progress regarding the military base's production line.
Wei Lun also put on his headphones at this time.
"Old Zeng, explain yourself clearly, what's the discovery this time?"
Wei Lun asked through the hyperspace communication headset, "Whatever we find, as long as everyone is safe or it's beneficial to the base, it's a good thing."
"Boss, you have no idea, those big machines on the production line can produce helicopters!"
Zeng Guangtian was incredibly excited. A helicopter! And an armed helicopter at that!
With a helicopter, going anywhere will be much easier, even across provinces and cities, as long as there's enough fuel.
"A helicopter? That's good stuff. How did you find it?"
Wei Lun was also very curious. The production line originally manufactured tanks, so this discovery could be identified based on some parts. However, helicopters don't have parts.
"Boss, at the beginning, we found something that was produced, and the blueprints looked a lot like a propeller."
"Then after our investigation, we discovered it was a propeller!"
"Based on the fact that this production line can also produce weapons, we have determined that it is a production line for attack helicopters!"
Zeng Guangtian reported excitedly that what weapons and equipment need most right now is flight equipment.
It is indeed a massive military base. The super production line here even has helicopter manufacturing capabilities, which can temporarily meet the needs of the Guardian Group.
"That's great. How's the oil field exploration going?"
Wei Lun is now concerned about the gasoline situation, since the demand for gasoline in the post-apocalyptic world is increasing, and bringing more from the modern world is no longer sufficient to meet the needs.
Therefore, the most urgent task now is to find a place where gasoline is produced and refined to produce usable gasoline.
"Boss, we've obtained the equipment for refining and producing gasoline."
"But oil-producing areas? We probably can't find any here."
Zeng Guangtian was also somewhat worried. Before the apocalypse, technology was advanced, and the demand for certain items was already very high.
Therefore, basically all the exploitable resources in every place have been extracted, making it very difficult to find a usable oil-producing area.
“Zeng Guangtian, here’s what you do: go and take a look at the original mining site.”
"Although the oil has been completely extracted, current research has found that the extracted areas will form oil again."
"Although I don't know the reason, I can give it a try."
Wei Lun said that what's most needed right now is to find an oil supply source. Tanks and helicopters are all fuel-guzzling machines; without gasoline, they simply can't function.
"Yes, boss, I'll go explore right away!"
Zeng Guangtian replied, then hung up the time-space communication call and led a large number of people to search for the existing oil fields.
As for Wei Lun, at this point he began to wonder where he could go with the helicopter.
Currently, Changhan City is basically centered around the Guardian Group, and even the four southern city-states dare not offend the Guardian Group.
But once we leave Changhan City, we don't know what the outside world is like.
