Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 285, Retirement, Big Flower Mushroom, Shangri-La Airport, Sniper Rifle and Scope

In the office in Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang and the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street continued to make suggestions.

"Our firearms R&D department has already prototyped a firearm with excellent performance and firepower. After testing twenty firearms, the performance of each component is very stable, with almost no changes from the original design."

"Sniper rifles are already under design and development, and I believe we'll see them soon. So now we can determine whether some policies will be implemented."

"Also, I want to go to the southwest for an inspection in a couple of days. Because the last time I went abroad for an inspection, I found that the overseas market is very short of some high-end food ingredients. People really like to eat certain mushrooms."

"If I remember correctly, our southwest region is rich in mushrooms. There are hundreds or even thousands of different species of mushrooms, many of which are edible, so I want to go over and take a look."

"Once it is confirmed, then mushroom exports will be able to generate considerable foreign exchange income."

The leaders were quite surprised when they heard this, even though they didn't quite understand. This was especially true for the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street. He smiled and asked curiously:
"I went to Spring City a few years ago and tried the local mushrooms, but I didn't think they were particularly delicious. They were just ordinary mushroom ingredients. How much could they sell for abroad?"

Zhao Mancang was immediately amused and raised a finger and said:

"Leader, our country doesn't have much money, but we have a lot of specialties in food. The eight major cuisines and the special snacks all over the country are enough for ordinary people to enjoy very good food."

"But the situation abroad is different, especially in places like Sam's Club, Great Britain, and Moscow. They don't have any local culinary specialties worth mentioning, so they can only rely on the ingredients to win."

"There's a Wanjia supermarket over there at Sam's Club. They've already established branches in Europe. They say they're particularly fond of a certain type of mushroom. Leaders, do you know the price of that mushroom?"

The question about price instantly aroused the curiosity of the leaders, and Zhao Mancang did not keep them in suspense and continued:
"Converted to US dollars, that's $25 per kilogram. They consume at least a thousand kilograms of food every day. Leaders, do you think this business is viable?"

Nonsense, something must be done.

The leaders' eyes suddenly lit up, much brighter than a 100-watt light bulb.

More than 1,000 kilograms of food are consumed every day, and one kilogram costs 25 US dollars, which means the daily income is 25,000 US dollars, and 750,000 US dollars a month.

Wow, you can make so much money just by selling these mushrooms, that’s really profitable.

"But it's already September. Spring City's local mushrooms are out of season, right? Especially the Acanthopanax I ate before, which is only available in the summer."

Listening to the inquiry from the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Zhao Mancang chuckled and said:

"Boss, some ingredients don't grow in summer, but in winter. We can only go there to take a look. We need to wait and see the details."

Seeing that he was very confident, the leaders nodded and let him go ahead and do his job.

After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang returned to Guozi Lane and asked Wei Huayong to arrange for someone to guard the warehouse near the Beijing Suburban Airport.

In addition, he told Lao Wei about his upcoming trip to the southwest and some strategies that might emerge in the next period of time.

"So many things to do? Mancang, why don't you arrange someone to help me share some of the burden? After all, I'm retired."

When Zhao Mancang heard this, he looked at the other party in surprise and said:
"Old Wei, is there something wrong with your body? I see nothing wrong with your complexion. Give me your hand so I can feel your pulse and see what's going on."

Wei Huayong shook his head. "It's not that I have a problem with my health, but you should consider the health of an old man like me. You always assign so much work to me. Why don't you find someone to share the burden with me?"

"Okay, okay, no problem, but let me take your pulse. That way, I can feel more at ease."

After taking Lao Wei's pulse, Zhao Mancang did not find any problems with his body, so he felt relieved.

But since the other party asked for help, Zhao Mancang thought about it and threw the question to Lao Wei:

"Old Wei, if you need help, it's actually very simple. You can just pick one from the transport troops. You're familiar with them anyway, and they were all your old subordinates. It would be easier to use them, right?"

After saying that, Zhao Mancang quickly ran away. Wei Huayong called him from behind, but he pretended not to hear.

He was smart and had already guessed what Lao Wei was planning when Lao Wei asked for an extra helper. In fact, Lao Wei just didn't want to offend anyone.

After all, many of his old subordinates were in the transport unit, so it was difficult to choose one.

He was indeed getting older and had to really consider retirement. As the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization had more and more units, Wei Huayong felt that the work of the housekeeper was getting more and more and more and he really couldn't finish it.

He often feels weak, so of course he wants a helper. After a year or two, when he really retires, this helper will be able to take over.

Apart from the transport troops, other candidates are not suitable, especially those from outside.

Because it was difficult to make a decision, not knowing whether to choose Zuo Changsheng, Xi Wenrong, or someone else, Wei Huayong threw the question to Zhao Mancang to decide.

Moreover, the selection of this helper should have been decided by Zhao Mancang, but this guy was slippery and didn't respond at all.

This is really difficult.

At the Grain Bureau, Zhao Mancang picked up Lin Wan, and the couple went home together.

On the way back, Zhao Mancang told her that they would leave for the southwest the day after tomorrow and asked her to apply for leave from the Grain Bureau tomorrow.

"Are we really going to the southwest? I've never been that far away. Do I need to prepare anything?"

When Lin Wan heard this, her eyes instantly brightened up, and she looked radiant and energetic.

For Zhao Mancang, it was an inspection and a work trip, but for Lin Wan, it was a trip to travel and enjoy the scenery.

She also knew that Zhao Mancang was very capable, so she didn't need to worry about safety when going to those places.

Besides, Zhao Mancang is in such a high position now. When he arrives in the southwest, there will definitely be local people there to help pave the way.

"You don't need to prepare anything, you just need to be mentally prepared. However, we are going out, so I will have to trouble your mother to help take care of the children for a while."

"That's no big deal. My mother will definitely be happy to help, and Xiaomei and the others will also help."

So the matter was decided.

The day of departure came in a blink of an eye. After Zhao Mancang had breakfast early in the morning, he set off with Lin Wan.

Zhang Dongyue and the others didn't notice anything wrong. After all, Zhao Mancang often went out and Lin Wan also had a job.

It was not until the evening when the children came back from school and did not see Lin Wan at the dinner table that they started crying.

Even if big sister Zhao Huijun tried to suppress it, it was no use. After a while, Zhao Huijun's eyes even turned red, and the next moment the dam burst.

Growing up, they were all used to Lin Wan being around them all the time. Even if she went to work, they would only be apart for one day.

Now, no one can be seen at night, and even for several days, and the children are suddenly panicked.

From Xiao Siyu, Xiao Pangdun to Zhao Huijun, every child cried pitifully and miserably, and Zhang Dongyue was so overwhelmed.

This situation is really difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for Mei Chunyan's help, this would have been really difficult.

On the other side, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan boarded the Mario M6147 passenger plane with ease. However, it was Xi Wenrong's team that carried out the flight mission of this flight.

The plane flew from Beijing to Spring City without any accidents and landed smoothly at the local airport.

When they landed, local leaders such as Xu Niansun were already waiting there. They warmly welcomed Zhao Mancang and his wife.

They prepared good wine and food to entertain him, and Zhao Mancang did not refuse their warm hospitality. After all, although the wine and food were good, they were only relative.

Anyway, we won't break the rules and there will be no extravagance.

"Leader Xu, if there aren't any major accidents this time, then you might need to build a good road here. However, the specific situation will need to wait until I finish my inspection before I can tell you."

Xu Niansun nodded repeatedly, and then personally accompanied Zhao Mancang to Shangri-La by car.

The distance was more than 600 kilometers, and this side was so far away. After driving more than ten kilometers, Zhao Mancang regretted it, and without saying a word, he returned directly to Chuncheng.

This frightened Xu Niansun and the others so much that their faces turned pale.
"Boss, I'm so sorry, the mountain roads here are really like this, we are poor."

"Leader Xu, don't be embarrassed. It was my fault for not thinking it through. Don't worry, the inspection will continue, but I need to make some preparations. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, and the inspection won't be interrupted."

Zhao Mancang interrupted the other party's words, then took out the walkie-talkie and notified Xi Wenrong.

After receiving the notice, the latter immediately contacted the capital by telegram. A day later, two helicopters landed at Chuncheng Airport.

These two are H21 helicopters, both of which belong to the Jiaolong Integrated Organization. They are temporarily dispatched here, naturally for the next mission.

The distance from Beijing to Spring City is more than 21 kilometers, and the maximum range of the H helicopter is kilometers. In other words, it takes a long time to drive from Beijing, and you must stop more than four times in the middle.

This is the consequence of not having large transport aircraft. Of course, if there were such a helicopter near Chuncheng, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Unfortunately, it didn’t!
"Thank you for your hard work!"

At the airport, Zhao Mancang saw Qiu Shigui and others who came to support. When Xu Niansun saw this scene, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

Chuncheng is very far away from the capital, but Xu Niansun is not unaware of the news from the capital.

But it was because he knew that he felt envious and surprised.

Although the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization is just an ordinary military unit, its specifications are quite high and its status is frighteningly high.

There was no way. The Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization had been adding new subordinate organizations crazily. At the beginning, there were only the Jiaolong Army, Longxing Research Institute and Tenglong Factory, and the entire organization had less than a thousand people.

What's the result now?
Just the Tamron factory has quite a few subordinate units, and Tamron Factory 2 is already under construction. The speed is quite fast.

Legend has it that the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization owns a lot of aircraft. At first, Xu Niansun didn’t quite believe it, but now he really believes it.

A Mario M6147 passenger plane arrived the day before yesterday, and now two H21 helicopters have arrived. Wow, when has Chuncheng Airport ever had such high-end and majestic aircraft?
never seen it!
It feels like the planes are from two different eras, because the planes in Chuncheng are all small and broken propeller planes, which are not much bigger than the H21 helicopters, and are even far inferior to the H21 helicopters in terms of the number of passengers they can carry.

"Okay, Lao Qiu, you guys take a break. I'll take the controls next. Lao Xi, you guys take the other one. Let's go now."

Zhao Mancang gave some instructions, and Qiu Shigui and the others also said that they wanted to go to Shangri-La to see it for themselves. Seeing this, Zhao Mancang did not disagree.

Anyway, the H21 helicopter can carry 20 soldiers, so there will be absolutely no problem carrying these people.

It was Xu Niansun’s first time to ride on an H21 helicopter. The noise inside was a bit loud, which was okay for him, but a bit of a torture for Lin Wan.

However, Zhao Mancang prepared a special pair of noise-isolating earmuffs for her. After she put them on, the whole world became quiet.

Even the propeller sound of the H21 helicopter has dropped below 25 decibels, which can be said to be very quiet.

At this time, if Zhao Mancang spoke to her through this earmuff, it would be much clearer.

The group took a plane from Spring City Airport and headed straight to Shangri-La.

A one-way flight is enough because the maximum range of the H21 helicopter is sufficient and the flight speed is kilometers per hour, so it takes three hours to reach Shangri-La.

Although it was very fast, it was still very slow in Zhao Mancang's opinion.

After landing, Zhao Mancang said to Xu Niansun:

"To reduce costs, cities near mushroom harvesting areas must build large airports. Otherwise, after picking the mushrooms from the mountains, they'll have to travel through bumpy mountain roads and then go through this whole series of transportation. By the time they get overseas, they'll be completely useless."

"The appearance of mushrooms is extremely important. It's one of the secrets to our success in selling them at high prices. If the quality of the mushrooms is significantly reduced due to problems during transportation, then you won't be able to earn much foreign exchange in Spring City."

"But don't worry, I've kept all these questions in mind and will report them back to you when the time comes. Our goal is to earn foreign exchange, which will definitely be very beneficial to your local economic development. Just understand this."

The latter nodded excitedly.

He felt that Zhao Mancang was his savior, who came to bring him political achievements.

It is almost conceivable that as long as a large airport is built in Shangri-La, it will be of great help in boosting the local economy.

Moreover, building an airport itself is a major political achievement, not to mention that it can also generate foreign exchange income from mushrooms. With such achievements, no one can stop him from moving up.

It's almost destined to be a meteoric rise to fame.

Seeing Xu Niansun's excitement and determination, Zhao Mancang smiled meaningfully and stopped making promises to him.

People from Shangri-La also came, but this time, Zhao Mancang did not stay long. Instead, he asked them to find a guide to lead them to their destination.

The altitude of Shangri-La is not low. If you go deep into the mountains, it will be very troublesome if you rely on walking or riding a horse. But Zhao Mancang's time is very precious. He doesn't want to waste time on these things, so he thinks about taking a helicopter.

So over the next few days, Zhao Mancang and his team flew around the area, and finally selected a small mountain village as the actual location for the investigation.

Zhao Mancang did not notify the local township leaders, but landed directly on the outskirts of the village and communicated with the local people in person.

Unfortunately, no one in the local area could speak Mandarin. In the end, it was the guide who could speak a little local dialect that solved the communication problem.

Zhao Mancang made a selection in the system mall, and then spent tens of thousands of experience points to solve the language problem, but he did not reveal it.

The reason for this is naturally because we are worried that the guide will do something bad.

I have been flying around the area for the past few days and have seen all the nearby scenery. Anyway, Qiu Shigui, Xi Wenrong and others all like the scenery here very much.

The natural scenery of Shangri-La is of course very beautiful, and Lin Wan praised it highly.

Now with her backpack on her back, she is measuring this land with her own feet and experiencing the local customs and culture firsthand. Lin Wan feels even happier.

"We call this a pine mushroom here, or a peeling mushroom. In the local Naxi language, it's called Yumaoluo."

After entering the mountains, Zhao Mancang and his friends quickly found the mushrooms they were aiming for: Agaricus bisporus!

Listening to the guide's words, everyone nodded, and Zhao Mancang said with a smile:
"This is why I came here this time. The mushrooms I've eaten abroad are these big flower mushrooms. They are very delicious, with a very rich aroma. The texture is like abalone, very smooth and refreshing."

Xu Niansun's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked expectantly:
"Leader Zhao, how much does this giant flower mushroom sell for abroad?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Shigui, Xi Wenrong, Lin Wan, the guide and others all cast curious glances at him. Zhao Mancang shook his head:
"The price of this kind of mushroom is not fixed. The appearance and size are very important. For example, the large flower mushroom I have on hand, if it is all of this variety, then the price is 25 US dollars per pound. If the appearance is better, the price is different."

"If I remember correctly, it should be the season for picking giant flower mushrooms now. When we go back, we'll pick more. I'll then prepare several different ways to eat them. You'll know after trying them. Maybe we can earn some foreign exchange this year."

hiss!
After hearing Zhao Mancang's words, everyone gasped, especially Xu Niansun, who was completely excited when he heard the news. Twenty-five dollars a pound—this was such a surprise and unexpected.

You have to know that this is twenty-five US dollars. The price per kilogram is so high. If you pick more, wouldn’t it be possible to sell it for tens of thousands of US dollars?

The giant flower mushroom alone can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. What if other mushrooms are included?

"Leader Zhao, we have a lot of mushrooms here. Can you see which ones can be exported?"

Seeing the other party so excited, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Leader Xu, don't be so happy just yet. First of all, the picking season for giant flower mushrooms is from August to October every year. It's already September now. It must have rained here the past two days, so we were able to pick these giant flower mushrooms today."

"The natural environment here is very good and has not been damaged. However, if the plan to export mushrooms is approved, then this village and other villages will come here to make a living, which will inevitably cause great damage to the surrounding environment."

"In short, all situations must be considered carefully, so don't be too happy too soon."

The big flower mushroom is Matsutake. In the later Shangri-La, Matsutake is called the king of mushrooms, but its growing environment is very harsh. It usually grows in pine, oak and oak forests at an altitude of 2,000 to 4,000 meters.

The growth cycle takes about five years, and the mushroom must be picked within three to seven days after each heavy rain, otherwise it will wither quickly.

The nutritional and medicinal value of Matsutake is extremely high. It is rich in rare elements such as protein, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, peptides, as well as double-chain pine mushroom polysaccharides, pine mushroom polypeptides and the anti-cancer substance - pine mushroom alcohol.

These ingredients make Matsutake have significant effects in improving immunity, fighting cancer, and fighting tumors.

After hearing the information mentioned by Zhao Mancang, Xu Niansun was even more looking forward to the performance of these mushrooms abroad, but he also became a little worried. After all, the giant flower mushroom can already be confirmed as a product for export and foreign exchange earnings.

But it is really hard to say whether the big flower mushroom can really generate profits.

Zhao Mancang and his team stayed in Shangri-La for nearly a week and then left in a hurry.

What needs to be investigated has been investigated, but how to solve specific problems still needs to be discussed.

In Shangri-La, in the office, Xu Niansun asked local leaders to gather and listen to Zhao Mancang speak.

"Now our Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company will be purchasing all the giant flower mushrooms. The next one or two months are the ripening period for giant flower mushrooms, so you can organize local production teams to start picking them. We will be waiting at the airport at 6 pm every day. Once your giant flower mushrooms are packaged and delivered, we will immediately put them on the plane to take away."

"From the current perspective, even if you can pick a thousand kilograms of giant flower mushrooms from the mountains every day, it will be difficult for us to make money. However, this is all for the purpose of opening up the market, so the initial investment is very necessary."

"In addition, the environment in Shangri-La is very good and very suitable for the development of the tourism industry. However, you all know the current situation, so let's not talk about that for now. The construction of the airport can only be done slowly. I will come back to inspect the specific construction location of the airport."

"I'll send someone to teach you how to pick and protect the shiitake mushrooms, and how to sort and pack them. You need to inform the local production teams that they must protect the mountains. Otherwise, their pockets will be wiped out."

After giving the instructions, Zhao Mancang and his team left Shangri-La and returned to Spring City by helicopter.

Both helicopters remained in Chuncheng, and Qiu Shigui and others were left here.

Currently, only Chuncheng has an airport, but not Shangri-La. All H21 helicopters have to undertake transportation tasks, otherwise the giant flower mushrooms in Shangri-La cannot be transported out.

In the capital, Zhao Mancang returned. He did not go home with Lin Wan, but went directly to Lingjing Hutong.

In the office, Zhao Mancang waited for a while before he met the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

"Xiao Zhao, you've been in the southwest for over a week. How do you feel?"

"It's very backward over there, with mountain roads everywhere. If we hadn't been flying a helicopter, it would have been impossible to walk there."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:
"Boss, these are the giant flower mushrooms I brought back from the southwest. I picked them this morning. There are three varieties. How about you guess which one is the most expensive?"

The leader looked at the three wooden boxes in front of him. There were quite a few large flower mushrooms on each box, but their sizes were different.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed at the smaller mushrooms and said, "This one should be more expensive, right?"

From the appearance point of view, the small-sized big flower mushroom looks very plump and is quite good.

But Zhao Mancang smiled and shook his head:
"Boss, you guessed wrong. The larger the giant flower mushroom is, the better the quality is. This is because the size of the giant flower mushroom depends on the soil nutrients and the quality of the mycelium. These large giant flower mushrooms are the best quality and the most expensive."

"I'll take it to the kitchen and ask the chef to help make it. You can taste it later, leader. These big flower mushrooms are very fragrant, even more fragrant than the chicken mushrooms you have eaten before."

After talking about this, the leader called the staff to take these shiitake mushrooms for processing. Zhao Mancang briefly explained the method and then continued to report on his work.

The export of Agaricus bisporus is still very difficult, mainly because the local transportation in Shangri-La is too backward.

An airport must be built in Shangri-La. Only in this way can the large flower mushrooms be smoothly and continuously transported abroad.

The most expensive transportation channel is actually the distance from Shangri-La to Hong Kong Island, because the transportation from Hong Kong Island to Europe is handled by airlines.

The preservation method along the way is even simpler. In any case, there is absolutely no problem with the existing preservation technology, because Wanjia Supermarket has developed a lot of related preservation technologies. Otherwise, it would be difficult to keep so many foods in the supermarket fresh.

Of course, the large flower mushrooms are more fragile, and they must be adequately protected during the entire air transportation process, otherwise all the work will be in vain.

After reporting the general difficulties to the leader, the rest is up to the leader's decision.

"If there's only one type of mushroom, Agaricus spp., this kind of business wouldn't be worth it."

The leader hesitated and said that because the entire process required transportation by plane, the cost of these large flower mushrooms naturally soared sharply.

Although aviation fuel is not expensive nowadays, the price of giant flower mushrooms is not expensive either.

So, in comparison, burning so much oil and then getting back tens of thousands of US dollars in foreign exchange seems to be an unprofitable deal.

Not to mention that Zhao Mancang also requested to build an airport in Shangri-La. Wow, such a huge investment, is it worth it?
If Zhao Mancang had not said that in addition to the shiitake mushroom, there is another kind of truffle, the Agaricus solium, which can also be sold at a high price abroad, the leader would naturally have refused immediately.

Zhao Mancang left Lingjing Hutong because his leader had not made a decision yet and he still needed to taste the giant flower mushrooms.

Zhongguancun South Street, Zhao's house. When he came back, he saw a group of haggard children and was shocked:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all so listless? You've lost weight, little Fatty. Have you not been eating well?"

His concern made the children cry again, especially the youngest one, Zhao Siyu. The child was only one and a half years old and was the most attached to her mother. However, her mother had been staying in the southwest for more than a week, which made the child very worried.

Zhang Dongyue recounted the past week or so when the couple were not at home. After listening to her, Zhao Mancang quickly said, "Mom, you have worked hard."

It was indeed hard work, with several children making noise at the same time, it was no joke.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang and the others did not leave for a long time, otherwise Zhang Dongyue would have wanted to quit.

Even so, Zhang Dongyue was actually on the verge of giving up.

too tired!
Lin Wan was holding the two children and smiling. The children were close to her, which was a good thing.

At this moment, Zhao Mancang took out some photos, and Zhao Huijun and the others were quickly attracted to them. In addition to the photos, there were also some gifts.

Well, these gifts are all big flower mushrooms brought back from Shangri-La. This kind of mushrooms is the first time to be eaten at home, so the little kids were very happy when they saw them.

As long as there is food to eat, everything is fine.

"Dad, can we go to this place too? The scenery here is so beautiful."

After seeing the photos, the little girl couldn't help but say that she wanted to go too, and the other children naturally followed suit.

Zhao Mancang did not answer. Taking Lin Wan there could be considered an inspection, but if he took the child there, that would not be so easy to say.

"Let's go somewhere else, like the Magic City or Baiyun City. You haven't been to the south, it's much more fun there."

"Also, go to the beach, where there are abundant fish."

The topic changed, and Xiao Taozi and the others stopped dwelling on it.

Zhao Mancang is not sure whether he can take them to these places to play. Let's wait and see during this year's winter vacation.

After spending a day at home, time passed quickly. A phone call came and Zhao Mancang had to get busy again.

The proposal for Shangri-La's airport construction was approved, and Zhao Mancang immediately sent people there to conduct a comprehensive review and measurement. He himself did not go there because he could not leave.

The production task of the assault rifle has been issued, with priority given to the production of 10,000 assault rifles for large-scale troop exercises and testing to ultimately determine its performance and battlefield performance.

If there are really no problems, then large-scale production and troop replacement plans will be put on the agenda.

In addition, sniper rifles have also appeared. A total of fifteen sniper rifles have been trial-produced. The cost is a bit high, mainly because of the use of materials such as 416 stainless steel barrels, which has caused the overall cost of sniper rifles to soar sharply.

High-power scopes also use a lot of high-tech materials. If they are to be produced on a large scale in all aspects, the cost pressure will be very high.

Therefore, whether it is a sniper rifle or a high-power scope, even if it passes the firearms test, it is impossible to mass-produce it like an assault rifle.

The testing of sniper rifles has officially begun at the shooting range of the Tamron factory.

After several rounds of testing, this sniper rifle performed perfectly, and its accuracy left everyone stunned.

At a position of 1,500 meters, the accuracy can reach more than 95%. Those who participated in the test included Zhao Mancang and others, as well as some members of the Jiaolong Army.

If it weren't the Jiaolong Army, the accuracy of the sniper rifle could be controlled at more than 80% if tested by sharpshooters from ordinary troops.

It can also be seen from here that this gun is really cool.

But at the same time, it can also be seen that there is still a very obvious gap between the soldiers in the army and the quasi-special forces soldiers like the Jiaolong Army.

One is eighty and the other is ninety-five. The gap between the two is simply too big.

Even so, when Zhao Mancang saw such results, he was not very satisfied with the performance of the Jiaolong Army.

After all, they are members of the Jiaolong Army, how did they end up like this?

No need to say anything, just keep training hard.

The testing of the sniper rifle was completed, but Zhao Mancang was still not idle, or he simply couldn't be idle.

The higher authorities approved his application and agreed to allow Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company to export lithium batteries.

This is a very important decision. After all, lithium batteries are truly high-tech products. Their added value far exceeds that of home appliances such as air conditioners, televisions, and refrigerators.

So, after receiving the notice, Zhao Mancang immediately went to the warehouse at the airport in the suburbs of Beijing and took out his fighter jet.

Well, the fighter jets are stored in the system space, and the warehouse is just a cover.

Using a fighter jet, Zhao Mancang successfully reached the Northwest in just one and a half hours.

He only flew for such a short time to cover a distance of nearly 3,000 kilometers, which shows how fast the fighter jet must be flying.

But it is also normal. By maintaining an ultra-high altitude flight speed of more than Mach 2, it will naturally be able to reach the destination smoothly and quickly.

After landing, Zhao Mancang called Xu Qinggong and others together and started a meeting.

When the person in charge of the lithium battery factory heard that large-scale production was going to begin, he was extremely happy.

"Monthly production must be guaranteed to be above 2,000 units. You don't need to know the specific number for export and the number for military missions. Just produce well."

Zhao Mancang's words made everyone full of energy.

The monthly output is 2,000 units. Even if 1,500 lithium batteries are exported and the remaining 500 are used in the mainland, that would be too many.

In fact, after the appearance of drones, the military’s procurement plan came out quickly.

Although Zhao Mancang believes that such drones have many inconveniences, the military believes that such high-tech products are already very impressive.

Drones are very useful in many places, especially for reconnaissance battalions on the front line, who need such high-tech products the most.

However, after using the drone, the troops still raised a problem: the noise was too loud!

The noise reduction of the first generation of drones was actually very good, but because there were so many things to consider, the noise reduction was still only at a limited level.

However, for the reconnaissance battalion, they are already carrying a huge TV when using the drone. If the noise is not reduced, they will not dare to use the drone for real reconnaissance missions.

At an altitude of 30 meters, the noise decibels of the drone can be reduced to about for ground personnel, but it is still a bit noisy.

However, if the drone is raised to an altitude of 500 meters, the camera lens of the drone will become blurred, and the picture clarity of the TV itself will not be very good, not to mention the altitude of 500 meters.

Therefore, the troops had no other choice but to make such a request.

As long as there is a breakthrough in lithium battery technology, the noise reduction and other aspects of the drone should be greatly improved. Of course, if there is a major breakthrough in display technology, reducing weight, making it thinner and clearer, it will be a better thing for the troops.

Zhao Mancang took a tour of the Shaya Laboratory. In addition to adding a few more scientific research projects, he was also planning to add more staff here.

The high school students recruited this summer have not yet entered here and are still doing internships at Jiaolong School.

The Shaya Laboratory is no longer a place where it can easily add more staff, because the staff scale here is already very large. Even though Zhao Mancang has added a material transportation team to take charge, the weather conditions in the northwest are harsh, and there are foreign enemies all around, so the addition of new staff needs to be considered carefully.

In July and August, hundreds of college students were added to the laboratory, which significantly increased the number of college student researchers here.

Some new experimental projects were added, but Zhao Mancang's goal was still not achieved.

After a round of inspection, Zhao Mancang left here and went to Shangri-La to check the picking situation of Matsutake mushrooms.
