Truckloads of raw materials were transported from New Chengdu to Southampton, then exchanged for various weapons and equipment before being transported back. These weapons and equipment with the Guardian Group's logo gradually appeared in the hands of the Rebel forces. These weapons and equipment had excellent performance and were easy to operate, so they were very popular.
However, New Chengdu was mainly using the Guardian Group's equipment. Since there was no response from John - Connor -1, and Li Zhi's New Lanzhou had occupied the Commander's aircraft, Lieutenant General Chen Fei, who was feeling guilty, simply made up his mind and completely cut off contact with the Guardian Group.
Now, the population of New Chengdu had swelled to nearly 300,000. Because a large number of people were transferred from New Lanzhou, New Lhasa, and New Dalian during the war, Chen Fei originally planned to move these people back. However, Tang Yu told him that it would not be a problem to feed these people, so a large number of people settled down in New Chengdu and Southampton.
With the work of more than 5,000 G-1 engineering robots, Southampton was completely different every day. The construction site was constantly under construction 24 hours a day. The countless building ruins left behind were also collected, broken, separated, and poured into new buildings.
After the first phase of Hope No. 3 matured, this crop that could be grown on polluted land began to be planted in New Chengdu and Southampton. However, all the seeds had been genetically modified. The fruit could only be eaten, but not planted. If one wanted to continue farming, they had to obtain the seeds through the Guardian Group.
Seeing the rapid development here, Lieutenant General Chen Fei had also made several reports to John - Connor -1, hoping that the Rebel forces would further expand their cooperation with the Guardian Group. However, there had been no clear response from the other side. However, the raw materials and other items required for each transaction were not reduced. Obviously, now that John - Connor -1 had made up his mind not to interfere with the development of things here, it should be that he was not sure how to treat the Guardian Group.
In New Lanzhou, the Guardian Group gradually became a topic of discussion. No one knew who started the discussion first, but in the last battle, the Guardian Group went straight into the hinterland of the Terminator army, captured the Skynet manufacturing center, and turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
Many people were talking about this Guardian Group that mysteriously disappeared and then suddenly appeared. For this battle, the Rebel forces seemed to have reached a consensus. Many people thought that they attracted the Terminators' attack, and then the Guardian Group had the opportunity to destroy the Skynet manufacturing center. In other words, they and the Guardian Group worked together to achieve victory.
Coupled with the canned luncheon meat that was obtained from the garbage robots when they cleaned the battlefield, the people of Xinzhou and the soldiers were very fond of the Guardian Group. Gradually, weapons and equipment painted with the Guardian Group's logo and construction machinery began to appear in the streets and alleys of New Lanzhou. There were more and more topics about this company.
Li Zhi was also very annoyed now. These things were all sent from Xincheng, so he couldn't refuse them. After all, the soldiers needed weapons to fight, the construction of the city needed construction machinery, and people also needed to eat. New Chengdu had its own munitions factory and large tracts of farmland, but since some time, the things that were sent over were all products of the Guardian Group. Of course, he did not know that the munitions factory in New Chengdu was also undergoing transformation. They no longer produced the less efficient X-96 blasters, but instead produced the Hyperion Corporation's assault rifles that fired corrosive bullets. Of course, now they were the Guardian Group's assault rifles. This assault rifle, which was based on the Hyperion Corporation's weapons, was named 'Poison Blade'.
Of course, Li Zhi also knew that this was the Guardian Group's revenge. Of course, he also knew that the greater the influence of the Guardian Group, the more untenable it would be for him to forcibly seize the commander's spacecraft. However, except for him and some people who knew the truth, no one would treat this matter as revenge. This was very troublesome. A soft knife was always more effective than a hard knife. To break a person's heart, sugar-coated bullets were always the most effective.
Previously, he also ordered people to erase the Guardian Group's logo on all weapons before they were distributed to the soldiers. But somehow, something went wrong. There was a small batch of weapons that didn't have their insignia erased and were sent out! Comparing the two, this attempt to cover up immediately spread among the soldiers at the bottom level.
Later, New Chengdu simply sent a batch of robot engineering teams! This engineering team composed of T-600 and G-1 engineering robots, Li Zhi originally did not want to let them enter the city. However, the news spread and a large number of people came to watch. In the end, he had no choice but to let them enter the city and take charge of part of the construction work.
Now, Li Zhi knew that some people had begun to be dissatisfied with his approach. Now, in the streets and alleys of New Lanzhou, in addition to the legend of the Guardian Group, there were some rumors about him. For example, he rejected the Guardian Group because of some personal issues. For example, he wanted to take the credit of the Guardian Group for himself so that he could get promoted and get rich. The news of the downed Commander's spacecraft being forcibly seized also began to spread again. This news first spread from the Air Force because they knew more about this matter.
"Lieutenant General Li Zhi, if this matter is not resolved, then John Connor will have to compromise with the Guardian Group and return the spacecraft. When that time comes, the only scapegoat will be you. You have to think about it carefully, "Paul sat in Lieutenant General Li Zhi's office and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone. In the past few days, his attitude towards Li Zhi had gradually changed from the initial familiarity to this indifferent attitude.
Elisa was now standing behind Paul. As Paul's desire for her grew stronger, he took Elisa with him everywhere he went. Li Zhi also accepted the fact that she was Paul's assistant and participated in the discussion.
"Our technicians are currently analyzing this spacecraft," Li Zhi still gave the same answer to Paul's question.
"But what about the results? I have been here for half a month, General Li Zhi. I don't know when Skynet's next attack will come. Since you vowed in the report that this spacecraft can turn the tide of the war, then you should let it play its role, "Paul said.
"This spacecraft contains very advanced technology. It uses a computing chip, a photon computer. There are no wires in the entire core, only some light beam generators." Li Zhi frowned.
"I don't want to listen to these professional terms. If you don't have the ability to solve this matter, then you only have two choices. First, return it to the Guardian Group, take responsibility for this conflict, personally apologize to the Guardian Group, and then resign. Second, hand the spacecraft over to the headquarters. " Paul waved his hand and said, but his words clearly emphasized the consequences of the first possibility.
Li Zhi closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said, "I will hand the spacecraft over to the headquarters, and the technicians from the headquarters will handle it."
"Miss Elisa is the technical representative from the headquarters. If you don't mind, let her take a look at this spacecraft," Paul said while pointing at Elisa.
"Her? Such a young girl? She's in the technical field? "Li Zhi obviously didn't believe it.
"You can do any test on my professional skills," Elisa said calmly.
"No, I mean, this spacecraft is related to top secret …"
"Top secret? Lieutenant General Li Zhi, you should really go to the streets and take a look. Everyone is talking about the Guardian Group's spacecraft that you seized. Is this still top secret? Moreover, we are military observers personally appointed by John Connor, but you left us hanging for half a month. Do you have any plans? Do you want to build your own base with this spacecraft? Or do you want to hand this thing over to Skynet? " Paul suddenly stood up and stared at Li Zhi with a burning gaze. The series of questions overwhelmed him.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will take you to see this spacecraft."
