Qin Mutong nodded and said, "Yes, they were produced on that production line!"
Wei Lun took Qin Mutong's hand and walked downstairs. He wanted to see the lightsaber manufacturing process with his own eyes.
With this lightsaber, paired with an automatic rifle, it offers both offensive and defensive capabilities, greatly enhancing combat power!
The two walked side by side to the second floor, where they saw the entire management team of the base, sitting together discussing the base's defense layout.
Seeing the boss and Qin Mutong walk down together,
"Hello, boss!" "Hello, boss!" "Hello, boss!"
Everyone stood up, stood at attention, and saluted! Since they were all sitting around the same table, Wei Lun waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.
"Was this lightsaber just manufactured at the base?"
Wei Lun cut straight to the point and asked, "Even with the current understanding of laser sword technology, it's impossible to manufacture one. The main difficulty lies in the immaturity of particle impact control technology in physics. It requires starting the initial kinetic energy during manufacturing and then generating a kinetic energy cycle to ensure that the length of the laser sword remains constant."
"Yes, boss, just produced one, the one you're holding!"
Lei Long took the initiative to report that although the lightsaber looked simple, it was actually very difficult to manufacture. Even with a production line, only one could be manufactured per day at most. Moreover, for safety reasons, it needed to be tested, so the production efficiency was very low.
"Increase production, and strive to equip every member of the guard with one!"
Wei Lun issued the order directly because he knew very well that most of the zombies were currently level 1 or 2, and the base was still able to protect itself. However, once level 3 zombies appeared, it would be impossible to kill them without laser weapons. For the sake of future safety, it was necessary to speed up the process now!
"Yes, boss! We'll definitely go all out to produce!"
Everyone readily agreed, stating that since the boss had personally given the order, the production capacity needed to be increased by increasing the supply of materials and energy, with priority given to the production of laser swords!
"Boss, we just received news from the valley stronghold. They are likely facing annihilation!"
Zeng Guangtian stood up and said, "Moreover, most of the people in the base were recruited from the valley stronghold. Some of them still have relatives in the valley stronghold. If the valley stronghold is completely wiped out by zombies this time, it will be a turbulent event for the base's guard. There is a possibility that some people will desert the guard."
Wei Lun and Qin Mutong sat down together at the conference table.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Wei Lun also had some feelings for the Valley Outpost. After all, it was the first place he had to survive in the apocalypse, and he also earned his first pot of gold there. Now that the outpost was in danger, he had to help it no matter what.
"Boss, do you remember Fu Xixi?"
Qin Jiayou asked with a worried expression, as if the stronghold was facing a significant problem this time, and even with the base's help, it might not be able to overcome it!
"Fu Xixi? Oh, you mean the merchants and financial management of that trading center's outposts, right?"
Wei Lun remembered; it was the beautiful waitress who had exchanged various goods there before. He later learned she was a member of the management at the base.
Because of Fu Xixi, Wei Lun obtained the BM enslavement chip, the T-virus vaccine, enhancement drugs, and many zombie crystal cores. After the base was established, Wei Lun and Fu Xixi had much less contact.
"Here's the thing, boss. Fu Xixi sent word that a large number of zombies have appeared south of the valley stronghold and are gathering in a regular pattern. They want us to come and support them. The stronghold sent out a patrol team to scout the zombie horde, and they found that there are Level 2 zombies among them! The stronghold only has one Level 2 Enhancer, Fu Yuanyu, and they only have automatic rifles. Facing a horde of thousands of zombies, they are likely to be wiped out in the onslaught!"
As Qin Jiayou reported, he couldn't help but feel worried. Although he didn't have many ties at the stronghold, he knew very well that of the 100 guards, at least 20 of them still had relatives at the stronghold. This was a difficult situation. Going would definitely result in losses, and not going would also result in losses!
"A level 2 zombie horde? This is really a bit difficult, we ourselves are all level 1 enhanced beings."
Wei Lun hit the nail on the head. The base's current guard is mostly composed of Level 1 enhanced individuals, and they only have automatic rifles. Even if they had laser swords, there's no time to produce them now.
If we go to reinforce the stronghold at this time, we will inevitably face casualties; if we don't go, we will disappoint our brothers.
Wei Lun was also torn. He couldn't very well risk his life fighting even when he was outmatched, could he? Was there no better way?
"Boss, in my opinion, this time we can only do what we can to support the stronghold. Within the guard, we should follow the principle of voluntariness; whoever is willing to go, that's how many people will go!"
Zhu Guanjun shared his thoughts, saying that it was unrealistic to bring the entire guard over there. The base still needed guards, not to mention the security of the yard, the factory production lines were also located there.
"The champion is right. We can't send all of them, but we can't not send any either!"
Du Kun agreed with Zhu Guanjun's idea: no matter how many people went to support the valley stronghold, the base must leave manpower to guard it.
Wei Lun rested his chin on his hand and sighed.
"Then let's do it this way. Zhu Guanjun, go and gather the guards and count the number of people who are willing to go!"
After Wei Lun finished speaking, Zhu Guanjun stood up and said, "Yes, boss!"
Zhu Guanjun went downstairs to take a headcount. At the conference table on the second floor, everyone remained somewhat worried.
"It's alright, we still have some man-portable rocket launchers, we can just use them all this time!"
Weren still had 50 individual rocket launchers. Even if they couldn't completely crush the zombies, they could greatly prevent the zombie horde from attacking the valley stronghold.
Qin Jiayou has personally experienced the power of the man-portable rocket launcher. A single man-portable rocket launcher can disintegrate all zombies within a range of at least five meters and can cause strong damage within a range of 10 meters!
"Fu Xixi asked us to go and provide support. How much time is left before the zombie attack?"
Wei Lun asked, "It's already nighttime. The later it gets, the more dangerous it becomes. Zombies are especially active at night. Not only are they more agile, but their agility is also greatly enhanced. Humans, on the other hand, have blurred vision at night, making it difficult to fight zombies."
"Boss, the outpost should be engaged in combat with the zombies by now!"
Zeng Guangtian replied that, based on Fu Xixi's time estimate, the zombie horde would attack the first line of defense of the valley stronghold around dusk!
Soon, Zhu Guanjun came up.
"Reporting, boss! The count shows 30 guards have volunteered for the support mission!"
Upon hearing this number, everyone sighed. Of the 100-man guard, only a mere 30 were truly willing to go, probably all of them relatives or friends who felt they had no choice but to go.
Wei Lun stood up and said, "Everyone, get your gear ready, let's set off immediately!"
