Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

If the terrain is uneven, it might even tip over, and if the cannon is moved to shoulder or waist height, it will definitely be flipped over by the recoil.

Therefore, low-recoil grenade launchers and recoilless rifles are the only long-range weapon options. "These things can only fool the Lungmen cops for a short time."

It cost the tonnage of a tank, the cost of powered armor, and achieved the combat power of heavy infantry. It can barely compete with the Humvee in anti-armor capabilities, but it would be a powerful unit in robot combat competitions.

“That dragon flame launcher can also be installed…” Flamethrowers might be somewhat useful for the Guard Bureau, “Forget it, let’s just replace it with Frostnova’s freeze launcher.” It’s quite useful for riot control.

"However, Master Ke, you have really helped me a lot..." I was just wondering what to use to fool Longmen's purchasing intentions, and this is perfect. It's operated by a high-level sorcerer, capable of casting spells, fighting, and boarding.

It allows for breakthrough operations between mobile cities, enabling rapid maneuverability. Its lightweight long-range weapons and limited damage radius make it suitable for police operations, avoiding excessive collateral damage and preventing a situation where a single shot could eliminate not only the criminals but also the hostages and the building.

The cops almost always operate on their home turf, where they can be towed and transported by vehicles. They don't need to worry about long-distance relocation or reliable machine hours. From this perspective, it's practically tailor-made for the Longmen cops.

"Once my Synthetic Agate electronics factory is completed, I also plan to launch various drones..."

Although Lao Xia doesn't know how to manufacture police drones for the Star Alliance, he has the standard 3D blueprints for agricultural drones. As long as the electronic components are supplied in bulk, he can mass-produce agricultural drones.

Fill a pesticide sprayer with tear gas, and it's a perfect riot control drone. As for its poor anti-jamming capabilities and virtually zero electronic warfare capabilities, let alone anti-drone guns, even civilian-modified jamming stations can take it away. These are not problems at all in Terra—they need these things too.

A few days later, Lao Wei actually managed to find the Rhode Island liaison office. After a heated debate with Lao Lynx, no one knew how much he paid, and how Lao Lynx's riddles and sharp tongue made him so angry that he smashed several ashtrays, he finally got the contact information of that little-known military industrial enterprise that claimed it was too small to handle large orders.

Under Lao Xia's instructions, the company called "Titan Industries," which had been transferred to the Reunion Movement, provided Lao Wei with a beautifully presented product list in a PowerPoint presentation. Clearly, Lao Wei was immediately drawn to the "new products" tucked away in the most inconspicuous corner.

"To deal with such a suspicious person, put the power armor in the most conspicuous place and only praise its advantages. He will then think there must be something wrong and will go to the corner to look for something."

As expected, Lao Wei quickly took a liking to the "Giant Armor," whose advantages and disadvantages were laid out clearly. After all, the advantages on display were just right for Lungmen, which had no intention of fighting for supremacy. The fact that it required high-level sorcerers to operate and was difficult to mass-produce into a fully combat-ready form was completely irrelevant to him.

Or rather, if this thing could quickly form a fighting force, he might not have the courage to purchase it in large quantities.

Finally, an order for 20 units was placed at a price of 1.5 million LMD each, with priority given to the Lungmen Guard Bureau, since the Shadow Guards' combat style is not well suited to operating such a thing.

However, the other party promised that if there was an order for another 20 units, they could consider custom-making one for the shadow guard, but Lao Wei refused.

"The arms business is so lucrative, 30 billion in no time..." White Rabbit felt it was a bit unreal to earn 30 billion in such a short time, especially since this wasn't a financial numbers game, but money earned from real business production.

"We also have to deduct the 15 billion patent royalties paid to Rhodes Island, which amounts to about 1 million in costs. Iron is still quite expensive. However, in the next transaction, we can have Lao Wei use iron blocks to offset the payment."

Old Xia said, "However, Old Wei was willing to pay because our transportation capacity is limited. We promised to provide assembly diagrams and allow Old Wei to assemble the equipment in Longmen."

"Will our technology be stolen?" the white rabbit asked, a little worried. "Not in the short term."

There's no formula or process for the refurbished steel. Even if Lao Wei succeeds in reverse engineering, he'll still need to purchase electric furnace parts. Who in Terra can supply him with those? And even if he steals the technology, it doesn't matter, because it's just recycling waste and integrating existing obsolete technologies.

In the old town, in the eastern block, lies the "Advanced Power Lab." This is the only high-tech industry that Lao Xia has placed in Lungmen. He plans to use local Terra materials and industrial products to try to manufacture flight engines, but right now the lab is practically an empty shell.

The equipment ordered for stripping metal catalysts in Victoria, even with the help of Little Tigers, has only just been loaded onto the ship and will take some time to reach Longmen. Rembitox's orders for equipment to produce alcohol compounds are already booked until next year.

The synthetic jade production line has only just reached a purchase agreement, and it will take at least six months before production begins there and the jade is delivered for assembly.

As for the mechanical production line and smelting tools, Rembitox delivered some of the necessary equipment.

Some high-precision production tools are even comparable to Lao Xia's machine tools, but low-precision production tools are indeed quite low-precision.

Moreover, some equipment was still missing, so Lao Xia had to figure out which ones he could make by hand and which ones needed to be manufactured by the farm, trying to find a way to get the engine production line up first.

This is just the engine. As for avionics, control, fuselage, and so on, these are clearly not things that Lao Xia can do on his own, nor does he have the energy for them.

However, Terra is not without talent. Once the old town renovation is completed and Xia's Agriculture enters a profitable phase, it can spend money to recruit a large number of Terra scholars to work together on the project.

Not to mention that he himself is a guy with extensive experience in disassembling, assembling and DIYing jet engines, and now he doesn't plan to build a rocket to fly into the sky, but just to build a large aircraft for air transport.

Otherwise, relying on Amiya Logistics to drive trucks through the wilderness would be too unreliable in terms of delivery time.

However, railways are unnecessary, because land-based ships can be ordered, and their transport capacity is not much smaller than that of railways, although they are much slower than high-speed rail.

Inside the spacious laboratory, workers were putting the finishing touches on the floors and walls. Scattered cables were everywhere. An Originium generator, transported from Ursus, was being assembled under Lao Xia's guidance. Together with the photovoltaic array on the deck outside, it would power the laboratory.

The entire power grid system was contracted out to a company in Longmen that specializes in building mobile urban power grids.

It must be said that the other party was quite efficient in such a place that had a well-planned purpose and was like a blank sheet of paper, and quickly produced preliminary results.

As the renovation neared completion, many construction teams that had finished their projects came to Lao Xia to settle accounts. He had already spent all of the initial 40 billion yuan he had on hand.

However, some of the completed projects, including the central business district and residential areas, have already been sold, and he currently has approximately less than 150 billion Lungmen dollars in liquid funds.

If we consider all assets, he holds nearly 2300 billion yuan in total assets.

This includes land price valuations in old urban areas where infrastructure renovations have been completed, and valuations of Xia's Pharmaceutical, which has entered the operational phase, based on a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.

There are also dormitory properties that, although they are part of employee welfare benefits, can be reclaimed and sold at any time.

Swire Group and various banks not only did not urge him to repay the old loans, but also kept asking if he had any plans for further financing. Of course, Lao Xia accepted all offers, because the R&D work that would combine with local technology would require burning through a lot of money.

This part requires a large amount of Terran resources and various products, so it cannot be placed in Ursus where transportation is inconvenient. It can only be placed in Lungmen, which is also a good bait to attract spies from all sides.

Not to mention, once the old town of Lungmen is renovated, the next step will be to further expand the influence of the agricultural group, in order to acquire more land in Kazdel and Ursus and carry out a larger-scale agricultural plan.

Regardless of what it is, Old Xia is now worried about one thing: he will inevitably have to go to Kazdel or return to Ursus.

He is needed to solve various problems in breeding, embryo conditioning, animal husbandry and planting, and even water conservancy planning and agricultural machinery training.

Agricultural science is his original profession and what he is best at, so the huge enterprise in Longmen needs one or more trustworthy agents.

Because the businesses here have to consume his agricultural output, which is no longer the small-scale operation that was common in the Ursus snowfields before.

Food industry products, measured in tens of thousands of tons, include sugar, fruit, grain, processed meat, and various canned goods; textile industry products, such as fabrics, silk, carbon fiber cloth, and ultra-high strength nanofibers (which also fall under agriculture); various timber and forestry by-products; herbs and health products; and various aquatic and agricultural industrial products.

Don't think that agriculture and forestry are just about what's grown in the fields. In fact, there are many things sold, covering almost every aspect of needs.

If the primary sector does not have a sufficiently large secondary sector to absorb such a massive amount of raw materials and crudely processed products, it will result in an extremely terrible waste and may even trigger the first Terra economic crisis.

Although Lao Xia is already frantically building up the foundation for Terra's first financial crisis, who will be the first to die in the future Terra's first financial crisis?

They were definitely not greedy capitalists, but rather manor nobles and landowners who simply lacked sufficient flexibility and adaptability.

Once it occurs, Old Xia needs to pour the milk into the river, or rather, for the Terra market, it's no different from pouring it into the river, and distribute it to the infected on the snowfield, implementing the "one cup of milk a day, strengthen a generation of Ursus" plan.

So, the first to die will be the chieftains of Sargon, the second will be the landowners of Kazimir, and the third will be the nobles of Ursus. They will be horrified to discover that the more land they own and the more they cultivate, the more they lose.

For someone like Lao Xia who doesn't care about profit at all, this kind of impact is practically negligible. If the milk can't be sold, he'll give it to the infected to drink. If the agricultural industry loses money, he'll raise the prices of fertilizers and pesticides. If labor costs skyrocket, he'll use the grain he produces to hire the infected serfs who were fired by the plantation owners at an almost non-existent, ultra-low cost.

As long as he maintains a small loss or breaks even, preserving the entire industrial chain and production scale, banks will inject capital into him even if they are risk-averse, as everyone knows.

Once other competitors succumb to the economic crisis, Lao Xia's profitability will be a foregone conclusion.

Of course, if things really get to that scale, he won't care about any administrative or national crackdowns, because "I am a member of the Shadow Council. Who is kneeling before me and why are they suing me?" At that point, it will be hard to say who will be holding the customs duties and VAT.

Just as Lao Xia was starting to worry about whether White Rabbit could hold up this crucial end of the chain, Little Tiger rushed in, looking panicked. "It's terrible! It's terrible! Something awful has happened!" He looked terrified. "My parents are coming with your shipment! We're doomed!"

"Ah, didn't we say last time that we'd just get through the exercise?" Old Xia didn't see anything wrong with it; wasn't that something we'd already discussed before?

"But the last time we talked about this, only my father came!" If the fact that the tiger doted on her were exposed, at most he would scold her a couple of times and then act spoiled, but her mother was a typical Victorian.

Those who are strict, rigid, and place great importance on etiquette and status are not so easily fooled.

“My mother isn’t so easily fooled!”

"Oh, this!"

"How many days left?"

"At most one week!"

"Then let's start preparing now!" White Rabbit said decisively. Although the little tiger seemed to be a huge threat, one threat was better than a bunch of threats. It could greatly prevent more guys from pimping for Old Xia.

Chapter Seventeen: Now that I have met my father-in-law, why do I not bow?

Chapter 17

In a private room of a coffee shop in Longmen, "I said, Boss Xia..." "Wait a minute, change your address first, this sounds wrong." White Rabbit pointed out the problem seriously, but she felt that something was off about what she said.

"So, you call me Lao Xia, just like me?"

“Okay—” The white rabbit thought for a moment. At least it didn’t sound too intimate. Wait, what does “same as me” mean?

"Old Xia," Little Tiger paused noticeably, looking somewhat shy, before speaking after a few seconds of adjustment, "I have a very important question: Did you go to university?"

"Why do you ask that?" Xia Lin was a little confused. Is it now the first thing people ask about when they meet someone?

Star Alliance matchmaking never asks about education level, because the AI ​​matchmaker will never match you with someone with an excessively high or low education level who you have nothing in common with—you should know your own limitations, thank you.

“Mainly my mother’s side…” The dignified and proper Victorian woman, as one of the oldest imperial countries, still placed considerable importance on identity, education, and lineage.

While it wouldn't necessarily go against the head of the household's wishes, the problem was that, according to Victorian tradition, household affairs and property were entrusted to the lady of the house for safekeeping and management.

The same applies when welcoming new family members; the lady of the house's opinion carries significant weight. Of course, Swire doesn't seem to care about this, since she's not really planning to get married or date.

"But you wouldn't want to be unfairly harassed, would you? And if my mother is really dissatisfied, she'll definitely arrange for me to meet more of her favorite 'young talents.'"

"I understand." I completely understand. It's just like the AI ​​for civil affairs. You can refuse, but it will match you with more talented young people, and there's no guarantee they'll be better than the first one. Generally speaking, they'll definitely be worse than the first one.

"I did attend college, the University of California, College of Agriculture and Forestry, majoring in ecological agriculture..."

Star Alliance Earth is the educational center for all of humanity, especially the agricultural-related branches, which are all located on Earth. The global population is less than 2 million, and the vast majority of the regions have been restored to their ancient ecological environments, serving as natural breeding bases and gene banks for Earth's species.
