In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

"Rest assured, I will immediately construct new wind tunnels and test platforms, so it won't be so crowded. Also, I will add another one of these super-large hydraulic presses."

"That's great!" The experts were very pleased.

In fact, Li Ming had already noticed the issue of wind tunnels and test platforms that they raised, so the construction of new platforms had already begun.

However, the construction of such platforms is a very complex project in itself. You should know that even before the Cataclysm, only a few major countries could build these devices, no more than five countries. The technological content involved is self-evident.

........

Li Ming inspected the training and small-scale military exercises of his army and found that the newly recruited troops had fully formed combat effectiveness.

At this time, his regular army ground forces had reached a full 700,000 men, and the light infantry and garrison forces maintaining law and order had also expanded to 800,000 men.

The army had expanded to a total force of about 1.5 million troops. In addition to the Tianhui Empire, many troops were stationed in overseas bases.

These overseas bases were basically to protect the security of his own mines.

Fortunately, many countries on Planet Baltan were completely destroyed in the apocalypse, with very few survivors, especially some countries with insufficient industrial capacity, which were devastated by the disaster.

Even developed countries were treated equally in the face of the Cataclysm. Many countries had been looted by Li Ming before, and the losses were already very serious, with shortages of supplies. With the addition of the apocalyptic disaster, the losses were even more severe.

Moreover, no other country in the world had such a powerful force as Li Ming to maintain social order. Basically, they were all forming factions, with gunfire and shouts of killing everywhere. It can be said that many people may not have died in the Cataclysm, but in infighting.

In a state of anarchy, violence is the only law and rule. Countless forces abroad have fallen into infighting. After all, many countries around the world have a small government and a large society. In this case, the forces of a large number of grassroots civil organizations are usually very strong, and now, without a government, they are even stronger.

In order to compete for power and resources for survival, these forces break out into various battles almost every day.

........

Time passed day by day. At this time, within the Tianhui Empire, large and small forces were recruiting survivors from the outside world.

Currently, the strength within the empire that everyone recognizes is that the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful force within the empire, a unique existence.

The second tier is the several forces formed by the remaining imperial troops, and the third tier is some major forces in various places. The second and third tier forces have begun to recruit survivors.

And Li Ming's markets all over the country have also ushered in a very hot trading period. Basically, every day these forces are desperately collecting everything that can be used.

Including but not limited to anti-theft doors, scrap metal windows, all kinds of scrap copper and iron, and other scrap materials. In particular, some garbage recycling stations that have been barely preserved have become the focus of competition among many forces.

In addition, many forces have also begun to send people to nearby counties and other places to collect various supplies, which inevitably leads to serious conflicts with the local forces in the counties or some small cities.

Li Ming is too lazy to care about these things. He only cares about the security of his own territory and the cities where troops are stationed. He is not God. In essence, he is just an ordinary person with a cheat, nothing more.

Of course, there are also benefits to these forces recruiting people. The first is that the chances of survival for the survivors are greater. For Li Ming, he doesn't care about these private forces as long as they are not too excessive to ordinary people.

And these forces have also figured out the bottom line of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, so they are mainly in a cooperative mode with these survivors.

Of course, there are others, that is, the forces formed by these remaining troops. If those who join Li Ming's forces are basically the top batch of people, then those survivors who can join these forces are also the highest quality batch of survivors.

Li Ming is very clear that the management methods of these bases are very interesting, and they adopt complete military management. The management is very strict, and of course, the advantage is that there is no turmoil in the entire base, and everything runs in an orderly manner.

However, there are also many problems with this kind of management, that is, many people cannot tolerate such strict management, but many people have to persevere in order to survive.

These forces, large and small, except for these powerful forces that have certain underground bases, the rest are basically using office buildings and residential buildings as bases.

Among them, the Fuxing Society and the Tongmenghui and other forces have their own underground bases. Although they are not very large, they are enough to grow some of their own food.

At present, some of the crops they grow are ordinary potatoes and sweet potatoes as reserve food, and some are cold-resistant potatoes and cold-resistant cabbage obtained through transactions with the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, which are grown in the cold environment outside.

The power of the collective is very strong. These forces have exchanged a lot of cold-resistant crop seeds from Li Ming through transactions, and Li Ming is happy to see it happen.

After all, when everyone has a certain amount of supplies and there is no pressure to survive, everyone's mood will be relaxed.

Some of the survivors in the extremely cold apocalypse have grown a considerable number of cold-resistant potatoes, while others have grown some potatoes and cabbage.

When entering the year and a half of the extremely cold period, basically as long as they are not lazy, the survivors have at least dozens of kilograms of cold-resistant potatoes as reserve food.

Some hardworking survivors even have hundreds or thousands of kilograms of cold-resistant potatoes, in addition to supplies, there are also a lot of integral tickets.

It can be said that Li Ming has greatly alleviated the food shortage situation through cold-resistant potatoes and other crops, and many hardworking survivors have really become rich and can guarantee to solve their own food and clothing problems.

Li Ming solved the problem of everyone's eating through cold-resistant potatoes, and also solved the problem of heating for many people through relatively cheap electricity.

It can be said that of the original 3 billion people in the Tianhui Empire, there are now about 2 billion people who have survived, and Li Ming has made great contributions.

His series of measures have given everyone hope of survival. In these desperate cold days, everyone's life has gradually improved.

As everyone's supplies and money become more abundant, the economy has gradually prospered again. After all, the pursuit of a better life is everyone's nature.......
