Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

48 million, 45 million, 65 million, 88 million, 110 million! Each painting was stronger than the last. Ren Zhong felt like he was in a dream, watching his wealth soar to 356 million in one night!

And that wasn't all. According to the previous agreement, Ren Zhong would also share half of the buyer's auction service fee of 10% with Sotheby's Auction House! That's another 17.8 million coming in!

And the transaction tax was only 0.5%!

Ren Zhong's income suddenly exceeded 370 million!

With two overseas bank black cards, Ren Zhong instructed the auction house to deposit 10 million into each, and the remaining 350 million was injected into Yunlong Investment Company in the Cayman Islands, and then quickly transferred 300 million to Yunfei Brothers Investment Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong, entering a project called the "Revival No. 1 Investment Fund," to provide financial support for Ren Zhong's next move.

Although these were priced in Hong Kong dollars, even if they were discounted by 10% to become RMB, Ren Zhong's net worth still exceeded the 300 million mark, officially making him a billionaire!

Of course, on the surface, from an outsider's perspective, this money belonged to overseas investment institutions, and Ren Zhong only had the right to use it.

With money in hand, Ren Zhong accelerated the operations in the main plane. He directly paid 5 million to Chengxin Machinery Factory as a deposit for 50 special machine tools specially customized for the Bright Sword world, and then another 5 million to Chengxin Machinery Factory to imitate a foreign 50KW water turbine generator, with two sets prototyped in a modular fashion.

This hydroelectric generator does not require the construction of dams and can be directly erected on streams, generating electricity by driving the water flow! According to the information on this foreign model, this hydroelectric generator has a simple structure and is easy to imitate and modularize. After being brought over from the main plane, it can be mass-produced in the Bright Sword world.

In addition to the hydroelectric generator, Ren Zhong also found an online manufacturer specializing in the research and production of vertical axis wind turbines and customized 100 sets of 1KW vertical axis wind turbines. This type of wind turbine only requires 5 blades to drive the wind wheel to generate electricity. When disassembled, the largest component does not exceed 2 meters, and the heaviest does not exceed 60 kilograms. The model Ren Zhong customized had no markings. By installing these wind turbines in river valleys or mountain passes with strong winds, a continuous supply of electricity can be obtained!

After confluence and inversion, it can either drive machine tools separately or be connected to the hydroelectric generator's power lines to achieve complementary utilization with the hydroelectric generator. Of course, in Ren Zhong's plan, this part is more importantly applied to places without water sources for hydroelectric power generation.

In the future, in addition to generators and inverters, other components can also be mass-produced in the Bright Sword world, further researching 5KW, 10KW, and even 50KW vertical axis generators. After all, apart from increasing the blade length and the height of the towers, the principles of larger output power generators are similar.

After consulting Hong Kong's policies, Ren Zhong chose to open a mechanical processing factory in Hong Kong, placing the production of key components for the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in Hong Kong. After all, it is now much more convenient for him to enter and exit Hong Kong than to go to Luzon. Simply processing gun barrels, magazines, or triggers are just ordinary mechanical products according to the local policies, as long as they are not assembled.

Hong Kong has fairly relaxed regulations on replica guns. Grips, slides, triggers, springs, and other accessories can be obtained from the legal market without any difficulty, so Ren Zhong can also directly buy some parts.

And these tasks were naturally handed over to Zhao Lidong, his tool man, to do.

After walking around the replica gun market in Hong Kong, Ren Zhong directly discovered a batch of treasures: single-tube 4x scopes, unmarked handheld radios, and two Type 71 radios--this was the radio carried by the famous hero who shouted, "Fire at me! Fire at me!"

Obviously, Ren Zhong would not let these things go. He directly swept up the existing stock on the market, buying more than 20 4x scopes, 100 handheld radios, and those two Type 71 radios. Besides the 4x scopes and 6 handheld radios that he took back to the Bright Sword world that day, the rest were all packaged and sent back to Jincheng!

A full load!

Bright Sword World.

Yang Village.

Li Yunlong had already sent people to find a stone wall for building a blast furnace at the bottom of a cliff 3 kilometers away from Yang Village. Although it was a bit far from Yang Village, it was located by a stream and could be intercepted to raise the stream flowing through Yang Village, making it convenient to transport iron ore and coal by boat. Because it was some distance away from Yang Village, the confidentiality was also very good. Building a stone dam of about one meter could turn it into a navigable river.

At the same time, this head of water could also better drive the hydroelectric generator that Ren Zhong would transmit to the Bright Sword world in the future, which would kill two birds with one stone with the power supply for the arsenal in the large cave. As for those vertical axis wind turbines, Ren Zhong prepared them for the headquarters' arsenal. The cave there was too far from places with water flow, but the wind on the mountain was strong enough, so it was just right to use wind power.

Although there might be times when there was no wind, and they would have to rely on the heavens, it was still a great improvement compared to having no power supply at all. Carrying a large package back to Yang Village, Ren Zhong did not see Li Yunlong's figure. He was obviously fully engaged in building two earthen blast furnaces. Ren Zhong left the drawings in the village. The main work now was civil engineering, and the Independent Regiment naturally had literate soldiers who basically knew what to do under Ren Zhong's guidance. "Old Kong, I have good things for you!" Kong Jie was the only one in the regimental headquarters. Ren Zhong put the heavy package on the table and opened it.

"Telescopes!" Kong Jie was immediately excited when he saw a pile of single-tube telescopes.

"Are these telescopes for sniper rifles?!"

Kong Jie asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Old Kong, with these things, it won't be too difficult to train a group of sharpshooters who can snipe targets 500 meters away," Ren Zhong said with a smile, but the scene of Zhao Gang, who could take down a Japanese soldier preparing to set up a mortar 500 meters away with his naked eyes, appeared in his mind.

If Old Zhao got a 4x scope, could he take down a Japanese soldier 800 meters away?

If that was the case, Old Zhao would definitely be the strongest sniper in the China region of the Bright Sword world!

After a slight YY in his heart, Ren Zhong returned to reality.

"Old Kong, these 4x scopes can be slightly modified to be attached to the Type 38 rifles to turn them into sniper rifles. Later, you can select a batch of well-maintained Type 38 rifles with clear rifling, and then select soldiers with an aptitude for shooting. We will use this batch of weapons to train a sharpshooter platoon, specializing in long-range sniping of Japanese officers, gunners, machine gunners, and other high-value enemies on the battlefield."

"No problem, Brother Ren, this batch of telescopes of yours has added a powerful long-range attack force to our Independent Regiment. When Old Li comes back, I don't know how happy he will be. I dare say, when we train this sharpshooter platoon, if a squadron of Japanese soldiers dares to enter our defense zone, they won't even see our shadows, they will be directly wiped out by the sharpshooter platoon! This scene, just thinking about it is so satisfying, so satisfying!" Kong Jie said with a smile.
