If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

"Boom!"

A dozen military transport planes painted with insignia of different theater commands formed a massive formation that would drive any country's radar station crazy. They tore through the clouds on the plateau with an almost savage manner and landed one after another on the long, oversized runway in Kunlun.

The deafening roar of the engines coalesced into a rolling thunderclap that swept across the vast plateau, creating gusts of air that could almost lift a person off their feet.

The hatches opened at almost the same time.

However, the scene that I had imagined—generals standing tall and imposing, walking slowly down the gangway with measured steps—did not materialize at all.

Instead, a group of old men, as if their military trousers were on fire, rushed down the gangway in a great hurry!

Their speed and agility are such that even a team of special forces soldiers wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand in a 100-meter descent, let alone a seventy- or eighty-year-old.

Commander Wang of the North China Military Region took the lead and ran the fastest, but he slipped and almost tripped on the last step of the gangway and fell flat on his face.

"Damn it!" he cursed as he steadied himself, which drew laughter from his gloating old buddies behind him.

"Old Wang, your body's not what it used to be! If you want to be the first to drink the soup, your legs need to keep up!"

"Exactly! At your speed, by the time we've finished distributing the medicine, you probably won't even have reached the conference room!"

Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle at the comical and incongruous scene before him.

He led a group of Kunlun's core executives and quickly went to greet them.

"Distinguished leaders, you've had a long journey. Welcome to Kunlun!"

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to have a peculiar penetrating power, clearly overpowering the deafening engine roar and drilling into everyone's ears.

The men, who had been in a chaotic mess just moments before, like generals in a market, instantly fell silent upon seeing Su Chen.

One by one, they subconsciously straightened their backs, straightened their military uniforms which were somewhat disheveled in the cabin, and forcibly restored some of the dignity and composure of high-ranking officers.

"Comrade Su Chen, I've long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can confirm you truly are a dragon among men!"

Commander Wang was the first to step forward and warmly grasp Su Chen's hand. His large, calloused hands were rough yet powerful, and the grip was painful.

"Not at all, Commander Wang, you flatter me," Su Chen replied with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Just then, two clear and melodious calls, like the chirping of larks, interrupted the greetings.

"grandfather!"

Du Feifei and Long Xiaoyun, one wearing a white research coat and the other wearing a specially made combat uniform, ran to Du Bangguo and Long Zhenbang's arms like two swallows returning to their nest.

"Oh my! My dear granddaughter!"

Du Bangguo was overjoyed, hugged Du Feifei, and gave her a big kiss on her smooth, full forehead. Then, with an undisguised pride on his face, he raised his chin at Su Chen.

"Su Chen, look at my granddaughter! She's become more and more beautiful under your care! This old man is completely entrusting her to you! You'd better not bully her, or I won't forgive you!"

"Grandpa!" Du Feifei blushed deeply at his words and stomped her feet in embarrassment.

On the other side, Long Zhenbang was also full of satisfaction. He held Long Xiaoyun's hand, looked her up and down carefully, and nodded repeatedly.

"Excellent, excellent! Your spirit is even stronger than before; you can't find another like you in the entire army with that heroic air! Su Chen, you've gone to great lengths!"

Su Chen respectfully addressed the two old men as "Grandpa," which made the wrinkles on their faces beam with joy, their smugness practically overflowing.

This made the other dozen or so generals nearby extremely envious.

They looked at the two old men, who were surrounded by their beloved granddaughters and whose tails were practically wagging in the air, and their eyes almost turned red.

Several generals unconsciously reached for the encrypted phone in their pockets.

In his heart, the thought of "packing up my granddaughter and sending her over as soon as I get back" was etched into his very bones!

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Chen led the way, guiding the group of generals in extended military electric vehicles towards the base's command center.

Along the way, the futuristic buildings of the Kunlun base and the scenes of soldiers conducting inhuman drills on the training grounds secretly shocked these well-informed generals, giving them a deeper understanding of Kunlun's strength.

In the spacious and brightly lit conference room, everyone took their seats as guests and hosts.

Without much pleasantries or small talk, Su Chen got straight to the point.

"I know perfectly well why you have come from so far away, esteemed leaders."

He gestured to the guards behind him.

Soon, detailed information about "Dragon Blood No. 1" was distributed to everyone.

The document wasn't thick, but every page was incredibly weighty. It not only contained detailed information on the composition and working principle of "Dragon Blood No. 1," but also included a freshly produced combat report from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, still reeking of gunpowder and bloodshed.

"Regarding the effects of 'Dragon Blood No. 1,' I think Wolf Fang's report speaks for itself." Su Chen's voice slowly rang out in the quiet conference room.

Upon hearing this, the generals present were all invigorated, and their breathing became heavier.

Su Chen continued, "Personally, and as the entire Kunlun, I strongly support the promotion of this technology to the entire army in order to comprehensively enhance the overall combat effectiveness of our Dragon Kingdom's army."

"However," Su Chen changed the subject, making everyone's hearts tighten, "we are currently facing a very real and very thorny problem."

That is, production capacity.

He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the smooth tabletop, making a soft "tap-tap" sound, each sound like a tapping on the hearts of the generals.

"The synthesis of 'Dragon Blood No. 1' is technically mature. However, it requires dozens of extremely rare medicinal herbs, some of which are long extinct in the outside world. Furthermore, its purification process is extremely complex, and the requirements for equipment and environment are almost demanding."

"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Fei Fei and Academician Chen Jing's team, we have recently overcome a technical challenge and optimized the purification process, increasing the theoretical output from 300 vials per month to 500 vials per month."

Su Chen paused, his gaze sweeping over every tense face, and finally uttered the number that chilled everyone to the bone.

"Previously, in order to support the pilot projects of Wolf Fang, Iron Fist Regiment and Old A, we had already set off 150 teams."

"Adding in the internal consumption and research losses during this period, currently, the amount of finished products available for allocation in our Kunlun warehouse is..."

"Five hundred."

Five hundred!

This number, like a boulder, crashed heavily into the calm surface of a lake.

That sounds like a lot.

But when the burden is divided among the dozen or so military leaders present, who represent the seven major military regions of the Dragon Kingdom and millions of troops, it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap!

The generals, who had just been full of hope and thought they would return with a full load of spoils, instantly looked dejected, each of them like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.

Commander Wang jumped up from his chair with a "whoosh," and because the movement was so sudden, the chair slid back half a meter.

"Lieutenant General Su Chen! Five hundred guns? This... how can that be enough to go around? It's not even enough to fill a gap in our entire military region!"

"Yes! That's far too little!" Commander Li of the coastal military region exclaimed anxiously. "We face immense pressure in coastal defense. The Marine Corps and special reconnaissance units are all desperately in need of supplies!"

"Commander Su, can't we think of another way? If we try, there's always a way!"

The meeting room erupted into chaos again, with everyone talking at once, making it a real headache.

Seeing everyone's eagerness to the point of almost tearing the roof off, Su Chen calmly revealed his true purpose.

"There is a way."

The moment he opened his mouth, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Su Chen looked around and slowly spoke.

"The bottleneck in production capacity lies mainly in two aspects. First, the supply of rare medicinal materials. Second, the lack of core production equipment."

"Both of these require astronomical sums of money and resources across the country and even the world. Some medicinal herbs only exist in ancient records and require special personnel to search for them in deep mountains and forests."

"If your respective military regions could allocate some funds to Kunlun in terms of military spending, and utilize your intelligence networks and connections to assist us in the procurement and sourcing of medicinal herbs..."

Su Chen didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present, being extremely shrewd, instantly understood the subtext.

This is to force them to give money and resources in exchange for production quotas for the miracle drug!

Moreover, this is no longer a simple transaction; it's about binding them all to Kunlun's war machine, turning them into Kunlun's "logistics department" and "procurement department"!

An eerie silence fell over the conference room once again.

Everyone's mind started racing, calculating their respective military district's slush funds, and weighing the resources and connections they had.

Looking at their ever-changing faces, Su Chen knew in his heart that the fish had taken the bait.

He treated the five hundred "miracle drugs" in front of him as the most lucrative bait and gently tossed them out.

"Commendations, these five hundred guns represent all the sincerity that Kunlun can offer at this moment."

"As for how to distribute it, I think I'm just a nobody and don't have the authority to make that decision. Let everyone discuss it among yourselves."

"Once you've reached an agreement, we can discuss the next steps for deeper cooperation."
