Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 25 New Plan

With a series of clanging sounds, Ren Zhong returned again to the cave next to the one he had traveled to the main plane from. This time he tried to bring back 6 copper ingots weighing 5 kilograms and put them in his special time-travel suit, and sure enough, there was no problem.

After the system was upgraded, Ren Zhong basically understood the main function of this upgrade, which was to realize the ability to cross a designated location within a ten-mile radius of a natural crossing point.

It was basically the same as expected. Although this function was basically useless to Ren Zhong now, he was able to carry 30 kilograms of copper ingots with ease, which made Ren Zhong feel that this was not his limit.

A new idea already came into his mind, that is to customize a stronger special clothing for carrying goods, and use denim fabric to remake a reinforced version of the long shirt with a tighter load-bearing capacity. Ren Zhong can challenge the limit of carrying 60 kilograms of goods at a time!
Of course, this is the limit of Ren Zhong's current physical strength, not the limit of jeans and long shirts.

Copper is one of the most necessary raw materials for bullets and artillery shells. It is very important for the Bright Sword plane. One bullet consumes about 10 grams of copper. Ren Zhong brought 30 kilograms of copper this time, which is equivalent to 3 bullets.

This number may not seem like much, but for the Eighth Route Army in the base area during this period, this was almost the number of bullets for a battalion of infantry in one battle!

So after Ren Zhong's experiment in bringing goods was successful, he immediately realized the importance of this new product to the base.

If you carry 30 kilograms each time you cross, it means you contribute 9 rounds of bullets to the base in a month! If the new special denim shirt successfully achieves a 60-kilogram volume, that means you carry 1.8 tons of goods a month, which is a full 18 rounds of bullets. Even if each soldier consumes 60 rounds in a battle, Ren Zhong is equivalent to providing copper for the battle of two regiments.

This can even turn the tide of the war locally.

Compared with the huge profits of penicillin, the value of copper has of course dropped a lot. According to the current copper price in the base, 1 kilogram costs 2 yuan, and only 60 yuan at a time, which is the price of 20 penicillin pills. The cost-effectiveness is so low compared to penicillin that it is outrageous.

However, penicillin cannot kill the devils directly, but bullets can. So Ren Zhong decided to rely on himself to transport this strategic material to the Bright Sword World by all means before finding an effective source of copper in the Bright Sword World.

However, when directly purchasing large quantities of copper ingots, there are still purchase limitations, and large-scale transactions of these materials will encounter audits on the legitimacy of their use.

Every time Ren Zhong thought of these restrictions, he was extremely envious of his fellow time travelers who could purchase without restrictions.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong didn't struggle for long before he came up with a solution that was not a solution, and he would implement it when he returned to the main plane.

After taking off his specially made long gown, Ren Zhong returned to the clothing factory wearing the down jacket he wore for the first time.

"Old Li, please take care of the work here. I need to go out of the mountains to see if I can bring back something else." Ren Zhong found Li Yunlong, "I sold all the medicines I brought to Zhang Wanhe. I think the base is short of supplies. I'm going out of the mountains to see if I can bring back some supplies that the base urgently needs."

Ren Zhong wanted to bring back new things, so it was not appropriate for him to stay with Li Yunlong any longer. The penicillin in front could be brought into the mountains by himself. Li Yunlong and Zhang Wanhe could understand this, but if Ren Zhong had always been under Li Yunlong's nose and continued to produce all kinds of things, this would be inexplicable.

Therefore, Ren Zhong must stay away from Li Yunlong and even the base's spies for a while before coming back, so that he can come up with new things. "Brother Ren, why is it so sudden?" Li Yunlong asked after hearing what Ren Zhong said. "Look, our old Li doesn't have much ability now. We are trapped in this clothing factory and can't go anywhere. We don't know when you will come back. Our No. 81 Chemical Factory has just laid a foundation. There is chaos outside. Do you think we should send a few comrades to follow and protect us?"

Old Li was really worried about Ren Zhong leaving so suddenly.

You know, although there is nothing valuable at the clothing factory, it is close to the headquarters. Ren Zhong does not have the trust of Lao Li now. Although he sold medicine twice, gave Zhang Wanhe a way to make money and saved dozens of seriously injured people, this is not enough to prove that Ren Zhong has no problem.

If this is the enemy's strategy, to exchange scarce medicines worth more than ten thousand oceans for the opportunity to destroy a base headquarters, I believe Director Dai in Shancheng would be willing to pay this price.

Ren Zhong didn't understand what Lao Li meant at first. "Don't bother. It's more convenient for me to be alone here. Outside the mountain, there are overseas Chinese organizations to support me."

"That won't do. There are many bandits along the way, and you, Brother Ren, don't have any military experience. How can you handle these dangers? I'll give you my guard Hu Zi. It will be much safer for you to travel together. Although Hu Zi is young, he has a lot of combat experience following me, so I feel more at ease. Besides, there is a section of the road that is kept secret by the base. It may be difficult for Brother Ren to find this road alone."

Li Yunlong insisted.

Ren Zhong came to his senses a little. Hu Zi was Li Yunlong's personal bodyguard. Even when Li Yunlong was demoted to the clothing factory, he still followed Li Yunlong.

He can be said to be Li Yunlong's most trusted confidant. Now Li Yunlong is determined to send people to follow him. I'm afraid he has some other ideas.

Ren Zhong had several thoughts in his mind, and suddenly he understood the key to the problem.

"Okay, I will travel with Hu Zi on this journey out of the mountains, but it will be safer for me to walk alone when we get to the city. This trip out of the mountains may take several days, and I will return to the clothing factory after I have sorted out the freight channels. Hu Zi will wait for me in the mountain village before I enter the city. Before I come back after finishing my business, I will find Hu Zi in this mountain village and go into the mountains together." Ren Zhong said.

It would certainly be very inconvenient to act with someone by his side, but if no one accompanied him for a while, Li Yunlong would probably be very worried.

His elusive image has not yet gained enough trust from people like Li Yunlong.

What's more, I don't even know the way!
No matter how to get out of the mountain, you have to go back to the main plane to check the relevant paths. After so many years, the current roads are completely different from the world of Bright Sword, and it may not be possible to find the original road.

"Okay, let Hu Zi protect Brother Ren to the outside of Yuping County. We have a contact point in Liuzhuang outside of Yuping County. After Hu Zi takes him there, he will wait for Brother Ren to come back at the contact point." Seeing that most of the things were done, Li Yunlong did not insist on accompanying him the whole time.

As long as there is no one following him when he comes back, Li Yunlong is not afraid that Ren Zhong will reveal too many secrets.
