Chapter 107 Inventory of supplies, Wang Shi returns

Su Yi actually hesitated whether to rely on the effects of talent to support an army of 20,000 people.

But this idea was quickly dismissed by Su Yi. First of all, when the talent reached level 3, it was still a B-level reward.

Based on the inference and analysis of the resource props obtained by Su Yi before, even if the B-level reward alone is food, it is still difficult to meet the material needs of more than 10,000 people, and it can only meet the needs of hundreds of people at most.

Even if they can collect resource talent rewards for a few more days, the army will still be hungry for a while.

If the soldiers are not fed, how can they maintain their combat effectiveness?

What's more, from Su Yi's current perspective, it would be the biggest disadvantage if his talent always gave out food rewards.

He no longer needs talent to obtain a stable source of food, but he needs talent to make up for the remaining shortcomings.

If the talent rewards food resources for one day, it will be a day without improvement for Su Yi.

The more times Su Yi is rewarded with food, the more stagnant Su Yi's development becomes.

Of course, Su Yi can also use points to buy food, but the food resources in the mall points are too expensive and not cost-effective at all.

An average of 30 points is needed to meet a person's daily food and water needs.

An army of 20,000 people would consume at least 300,000 points every day.

Although Su Yi has a lot of points, if he uses this method, he can sustain the army for a day.

Only Jiang Xiaoci's suggestion is the most reliable. Appropriate reduction in numbers can ensure the long-term balance of military strength.

In peacetime, national disarmament measures also have similar considerations. Appropriate cost savings and rational allocation of resources can further ensure the improvement of the military's combat effectiveness and the reform of information-based warfare.

...

Under the protection of dozens of soldiers, Su Yi came to a large open space outside the community.

This is the centralized transfer point for materials temporarily organized by the gathering place. It was originally a large playground outside the gymnasium, just near the community. It has now been completely controlled by the gathering place and has been cleaned up.

"Sir, are you still a little reluctant to leave?"

Jiang Xiaoci looked at Su Yi beside him with a smile. Su Yi nodded silently: "If possible, I still want to keep more troops in my hands."

"Then let's properly optimize the military's demographic structure."

Jiang Xiaoci made a suggestion: "We can donate some soldiers with lower talent levels and weaker combat skills first, leaving more strong military soldiers."

"And we can keep the matching weapons, firepower, vehicles, etc. of the army."

"After screening out more than 20,000 people, only half and all the firepower and weapons were retained. In the end, we were able to retain only two-thirds of our military strength."

Jiang Xiaoci's suggestion is very good. This can greatly ensure that more military power is left.

After all, soldiers can be trained, but many modern equipments currently exist in fragmented form and no one can build them out of thin air.

"Well, you do it."

Su Yi nodded. Following Jiang Xiaoci's suggestion, he first summoned the first batch of ten thousand troops and two thousand-man brigades.

"Another army of 10,000 people, sir, you'd better wait until this time tomorrow to summon it."

"At least, we can make a final decision on whether to donate part of the army based on tomorrow's talent."

"I can first screen from the more than 10,000 people currently gathered in this gathering place, do preparatory work first, and formulate screening criteria."

Jiang Xiaoci made detailed arrangements for Su Yi step by step. Su Yi nodded and began to recruit the first batch of ten thousand troops.

As golden light fills the eyes. Groups of human-shaped golden lights appeared in the open space in front of them.

After a while, the golden light spread across the entire open space like a tide, and it couldn't even fit here, extending beyond the street.

When the outline of the human figure gathered by the golden light gradually solidified, a group of majestic modern legions appeared in front of Su Yi.

This legion stood uniformly in front of Su Yi. They were dressed in uniform special combat camouflage uniforms. They were well-equipped and magnificent. Each soldier had firm eyes and a tall posture.

They stood upright in front of Su Yi, showing their well-trained rigor and high fighting will.

Their eyes were fierce and fierce, and they had a strong and compelling aura. It was obvious that only soldiers who had experienced the baptism of war had such a unique temperament.

At the forefront of the corps are several senior commanders wearing different military uniforms, including the corps commander, deputy corps commander, chief of staff and other core army command leaders.

In and next to the army group, there are various complete firepower configurations.

Not only the rifles and submachine guns held by soldiers are equipped with advanced aiming systems, night vision devices, silencers and other auxiliary equipment.

Next to it were large tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers and other heavy equipment, as well as a number of armed helicopters parked silently beside the street.

These steel behemoths stand at the rear of the legions. The tanks have thick and solid tracks and their muzzles are high, ready to cover enemy positions with devastating firepower.

Although the number of these heavy weapons was not large, Su Yi still felt the mighty force of steel coming from the army when he looked at it as a whole, and he still felt a faint sense of shock in his heart even though he had been prepared for it.

"Unfortunately, there is a lack of heavy equipment."

Jiang Xiaoci was sighing. The army's firepower configuration did not meet her original expectations.

"This may not be a dedicated tank corps, but more inclined to a numerical configuration of infantry. The small amount of heavy equipment is to support the infantry in completing more difficult battlefield tasks."

Next to Jiang Xiaoci, the chief of staff of the task force answered.

Su Yi raised his eyes and looked around. He couldn't see how much heavy equipment there was with the naked eye.

This is not because there is too much heavy firepower, but because the legions are too large and cannot be packed here.

The number of tens of thousands of people can almost fill two or three streets. Taking into account the terrain occupied by street debris and heavy firepower equipment, the army in front of them has spread at least four streets away.

"Xiaoci, please take inventory and prepare as soon as possible."

Su Yi turned to look at Jiang Xiaoci and said in a low voice: "They have just arrived, so they are not a big problem after being hungry for a day, but we only have a day or two to carry out disarmament operations."

Su Yi really never thought that his gathering place would one day develop to the point where he would need to undergo disarmament.

"Yes, sir, I will make arrangements."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded. The chief of staff and others behind her were helpers who could help her quickly grasp and understand the affairs of the new legion.

Su Yi returned to the house without staying for too long. He was an outsider in military management, and disarmament must be left to experts.

"Let's continue to count the material reserves in the gathering place."

Su Yi took a deep breath, opened the shelter's data panel and started counting.

Due to the effect of the vassal covenant, the residents in the gathering area do not actually need to consume any additional water and food, and their survival pressure does not need to be taken into account.

In the entire gathering place, before today, Su Yi had always wanted to support talented units (including hundreds of troops).

In the gathering area, there are currently only two planting rooms, 38 D-level food production props (can manage the daily consumption of one person), 15 C-level food production props (can manage the daily consumption of 10-20 people), 2 B-level food production props (can manage the daily consumption of 300-500 people).

In addition to the food provided by these props, the food collected by the army during long-term outings is also classified and stored in the main building.

However, since it took less than two weeks for Su Yi to establish the army, there were not many supplies stored. At most, they could only manage the rations of hundreds of people.

In terms of drinking water, the gathering place has water purifiers, water storage rooms, and a self-generated water system. Together, it can barely meet the water needs of 4,000 people, of which the self-generated water system accounts for a large proportion.

"It's not that I don't know. After taking a closer look, I discovered that the pressure in the gathering place is actually quite high."

Su Yi sighed. According to his guess, talent rewards should be gradual.

If today's talent reward did not trigger multiple rewards, then Su Yi would have recruited a thousand-man brigade.

Based on today's changes in the shelter, tomorrow's talent rewards may naturally be resource rewards to support this thousand-person brigade.

But the bad thing is that Su Yi was very lucky today and recruited too many troops.

Even if he gets double B-level food rewards tomorrow, he still won't be able to feed so many soldiers.

"Let's look at the intelligence map again."

Su Yi closed the shelter data panel and walked to the strategic wall, which contained a city map and surrounding intelligence information that Jiang Xiaoci would update every day.

Su Yi generally doesn't pay much attention to these things. He is very taboo about him, an outsider, casually interfering in Jiang Xiaoci's strategic arrangements.

But the current predicament of the gathering place forced Su Yi to pay attention and force himself to learn more areas that he had never understood before.

"Judging from the intelligence collection information from the military outing, the surrounding six or seven blocks have been cleared out, and there are no survivors or large-scale supply points."

"There are a few places that are suspected of being marked with a large amount of supplies, but they have not yet been confirmed. People can be sent to check them out, but they cannot become the focus of military targets."

"It's exactly what Xiaoci said. The only places that can satisfy my current appetite are Little White Bear and the city center."

Su Yi squinted his eyes slightly and focused on the two highlighted areas on the city map.

While Su Yi was thinking, suddenly there was movement outside the door.

There was a steady movement of footsteps from far to near, and soon someone pushed the door open and entered.

Su Yi turned around and saw that it was Wang Shi who had not returned home all night yesterday.

"Sir, I'm back from my mission."

"How about it?"

Su Yi sat back on the sofa and asked quickly: "Is everything going well? Found a few puzzle doors?"

The task he assigned to Wang Shi yesterday was to focus on collecting puzzle doors throughout the city, and then try to conquer as many puzzle doors as possible to obtain rewards.

"Seven found, five solved."

Wang Shi put down the two big sacks in his hands. The sacks made a sound when they fell to the ground, which made Su Yi's eyelids jump in surprise.

Squad leader Wang worked all night, and it looked like he had a great harvest!
