364: Chinese Expeditionary Force Appointment, Dr. Bai's Bio-Armor

The moment Yang Dian received Han Zhang's forwarded message, his face scrunched up.

"[Education System: Children and adolescents are the future main force in advancing the construction of a strong nation and the great cause of national rejuvenation. To ensure that young people and children receive the best cultivation, the Education System requests a 25% share of all resources within the territory map.]"

"[Military System: Soldiers are the frontline combat units of Huaxia. To ensure that soldiers have sufficient strength to resist future crises, the Military System requests a 35% share of all resources within the territory map.]"

"[Public Security Bureau: ...wants 15%.]"

"[Special Administration Bureau: ...wants 5%.]"

"[Martial Security Bureau: ...wants 5%.]"

"[Research Units: ...also 5%.]"

As soon as these units spoke, they directly claimed 90% of the resource shares within the territory map.

What are resource shares?

For now, they are cultivation time in cultivation rooms, the number of times one can enter the Awakening Pool to Awaken abilities, and the number of times one can comprehend Martial Dao Will and Rule Runes without consumption.

In the future, who knows what special abilities might be added.

With several departments taking up the vast majority of shares, the leeway left for other official organizations would be reduced.

'But a 10% leeway seems to be enough.'

There are only a few enforcement agencies.

Now, several enforcement agencies plus a major logistics department are all here.

It seems normal for them to take the lion's share.

It wouldn't be right to let others fight desperately on the front lines and remain anonymous behind the scenes, while those in clerical positions reap the benefits, would it?

Seeing Yang Dian's tightly furrowed brows gradually relax, Han Zhang added an explanation:

"This is just this year's share allocation."

"The number of people in each department is not immutable."

"For example, in the next few years, the number of students will show a downward trend, while the number of people in the military and other departments will show an upward trend."

"So the Education System's share will decrease, and the shares of the military and other departments will increase."

"Also, for example, during wartime, if the Military System contributes significantly, then its resource share will be increased accordingly."

"When we set the rules, we cannot fix the resource shares directly; we should be able to make macro-adjustments."

Yang Dian nodded:

"That's fine then."

"You must have considered things more thoroughly than I have."

"Since you think this share allocation is good, then just allocate according to this."

Seeing Yang Dian agree, Han Zhang nodded, put away the document, and then looked at Yang Dian with a serious expression:

"The organization recently plans to form a new army, tentatively named the [Expeditionary Force]."

"The Expeditionary Force is not responsible for homeland defense; it is only responsible for grand expeditionary actions."

"Its responsibilities include, but are not limited to, exploring the Universe, conquering Alien Planets whose dimensions overlap with Earth's, and so on."

Han Zhang paused here again, looking at Yang Dian, who seemed to have realized something, and said:

"After multiple discussions by the organization, for now, the position of Commander of the Expeditionary Force is most suitable for you."

Yang Dian's lips curved into a smile, which he then suppressed:

"Because I am strong?"

"But I have no experience in handling military-related matters."

"In fact, it's not just the military."

"Although I hold the title of Deputy Director of the Fuzhou City Special Administration Bureau, in reality, I rarely even go to the bureau and have very little experience in government affairs."

Han Zhang nodded, indicating he knew:

"The position of Commander of the Expeditionary Force can only be held by a strong person."

"The Expeditionary Force is our Huaxia Civilization's first external combat department, responsible for external expansion."

"The head of the department cannot be a civilian or someone with insufficient strength, can he?"

"Not to mention being ridiculed by Alien Planet foreigners, just insufficient personal strength, how can he suppress those arrogant and unruly generals in the Expeditionary Force?"

"In our plan, the Expeditionary Force will gather the most cutting-edge combat forces in the country, including but not limited to Martial Artists, Awakened, and various high-tech equipment."

After briefly explaining the situation of the Expeditionary Force, Han Zhang changed his tone and said:

"Also, you don't have to worry about your lack of experience in government affairs."

"In addition to the Commander, there will also be a Deputy Commander and an Artificial Intelligence to help you handle relevant government affairs."

Yang Dian suddenly understood:

"So, when there's nothing going on, the Commander is just a mascot, and when something happens, he's brought out to show off and be the face of the force?"

"It won't be to the extent of becoming a mascot."

Han Zhang had anticipated that Yang Dian might misunderstand, so he briefly described the powers of the Commander of the Expeditionary Force:

"The Commander still has great power."

"Outwardly, for example, upon discovering an alien civilization, whether to directly engage in war or to first attempt communication."

"Inwardly, from major personnel appointments, to medium-level resource allocation, to minor training drills."

"And so on, the final decision-making power for all these matters rests with the Commander."

At this point, Han Zhang's expression became even more solemn:

"However, with great power comes great responsibility."

"Comrade Yang Dian, are you willing to accept this power, bear the heavy responsibility of Commander of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force, and strive for the great rise of Huaxia Civilization?"

Yang Dian also straightened his expression:

"I will take the realization of the rise of Huaxia Civilization as my own responsibility and live up to the eager expectations of the people!"

After he finished speaking, the two formally saluted, and then Han Zhang said:

"The headquarters of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force is located in Northwest China, and the base has already been completed."

"Relevant personnel are being transferred from the Special Administration Bureau, the Martial Security Bureau, and the military; relevant transfer orders will be issued in these two days, and assembly is expected to begin in three days."

"This document contains information on the Expeditionary Force's related materials and configurations; you can take a look first."

Yang Dian opened the document and glanced at it.

"[Expeditionary Force configuration: approximately 5000 personnel temporarily, with 10 combat legions under its command...]

[All Expeditionary Force members are Martial Artists in the Qi Circulation Realm and above, or Awakened with equivalent strength...]

[Expeditionary Force equipment: intelligent brain Ya Zi, 36 aerospace fighters, 12 starships, per capita equipped with exoskeleton armor, bio-armor, with authority to mobilize space-based satellites...]"

After reading the configuration information, Yang Dian couldn't help but be stunned.

"Five thousand?"

Yang Dian wasn't complaining about too few people, but rather too many.

"Do we have so many Martial Artists in the Qi Circulation Realm now?"

"Will transferring so many Martial Artists in the Qi Circulation Realm, or Awakened equivalent to Martial Artists in the Qi Circulation Realm, affect the domestic security environment?"

"No," Han Zhang affirmed.

"After two Spiritual Qi tidal feedbacks, not only has the Awakening probability increased, but the martial arts talent of our Citizens has also greatly improved, and the cultivation efficiency of Martial Artists has significantly increased."

"The successful breeding of Mutated Cockroaches has also provided us with a large amount of high-energy nutrients for Martial Artists to Cultivate."

"Also, the intelligence you previously provided allowed us to obtain a large number of Spirit Medicines and Spirit Fruits from home and abroad, which can help Martial Artists who are stuck at a Bottleneck to Breakthrough at the last moment."

"Therefore, the current number of Martial Artists in the Qi Circulation Realm is more than a hundred times higher than a year ago."

"Transferring 5000 elites to form the Expeditionary Force will not affect the domestic security System."

Yang Dian nodded, then pointed to the bio-armor on the supply list and curiously asked:

"What is bio-armor? I've never heard of it."

Han Zhang looked at Yang Dian, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said:

"This is something Dr. Bai just researched."

"Using a special vacuum fungus as the matrix, it undergoes evolutionary mutation and cultivation, ultimately forming bio-armor that can co-exist with humans and provide humans with powerful combat capabilities."

"The existing bio-armor has been named Bio-Armor No. 1 by Dr. Bai. In the Early Stage of symbiosis, it can increase a Martial Artist's strength by 3 times, and after nourishment with Qi and blood, it can increase a Martial Artist's burst power by up to 10 times."

At this point, Han Zhang gave an example:

"Take a Martial Artist in the Qi Circulation Realm as an example."

"A typical Martial Artist in the Qi Circulation Realm, with the enhancement of Qi and blood power, can unleash 30 to 100 times the strength of an ordinary person."

"After wearing the bio-armor, the burst power can be multiplied again with the Qi and blood enhancement."

"At most, it can allow a Martial Artist in the Qi Circulation Realm to unleash 300 to 1000 times the strength of an ordinary person."

"It seems to only increase burst power by 10 times, but the overall combat capability is increased by more than a hundred times."

"Of course, due to its own limitations, Bio-Armor No. 1 can only withstand a thousand times the burst power of a normal person at most."

"Once it exceeds a thousand times, it will collapse."

At this point, Han Zhang smiled and looked at Yang Dian, saying:

"In addition, Dr. Bai said that he is already rushing to Cultivate Bio-Armor No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4."

"It is estimated that Bio-Armor No. 2 can withstand up to ten thousand times the burst power of a normal person and can amplify the destructive power of Qi and blood."

"Bio-Armor No. 3 can withstand 100,000 times the burst power of a normal person and can also amplify the destructive power of Qi and blood."

"Bio-Armor No. 4 can withstand a million times the burst power of a normal person."

"He said that Bio-Armor No. 4 might be of no small help to you."
