Chapter 20
The Military Weapons Research Center, First Research Project

Currently, as more and more personnel are being sent to those large-scale military training grounds.

Their Houthi armed forces' overall quality and combat effectiveness are increasing at a visible rate.

As long as all middle and high-level commanders are fully trained.

Their Houthi armed forces will completely transform into a powerful regular army.

In terms of finances, in addition to the previous large oil field.

Hu Jun used a one-time oil and gas exploration authorization to detect a larger oil and gas field.

Its recoverable reserves exceed 100 million tons.

There are also large amounts of natural gas available for extraction.

The daily revenue from these two large oil fields alone is enough to sustain the current development of the Houthi armed forces.

At present, the only thing the Houthi armed forces lack is advanced equipment.

Although they seized a lot of weapons and equipment from the Yemeni government forces.

But these weapons and equipment are not enough to arm an organization of 100,000 people.

They can only be used by the core forces with strong combat effectiveness first.

Most of the members of their Houthi armed forces still rely on RPG-7 rocket launchers and AK-47s, guerrilla weapons.

Such preparations might be sufficient for guerrilla warfare.

But now, the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia is about to intensify its attacks on their organization.

Especially after he openly challenged Saudi Arabia and the Arab coalition through Al Jazeera.

The enraged Saudi Arabia will definitely come up with better and stronger weapons.

He doesn't want to repeat the history of the Houthi armed forces in the previous world, where they had to hide and fight this coalition for seven years before finally achieving victory.

The only way to quickly defeat this well-equipped and numerous Arab coalition army on the battlefield is to improve the weapons and equipment of their Houthi armed forces.

Besides upgrading the light weapons and equipment of all organizational members.

They must also possess a certain number of advanced high-tech heavy weapons.

To achieve all this, they naturally need their own military factories and military weapons research centers.

Fortunately, these things can be exchanged in the game.

As nearly a million points of personal prestige disappeared.

Two large buildings rose from the ground around the main city.

One of them is a super intelligent military factory.

This factory is 80% intelligent.

Only a small number of technicians are needed to complete the production of various types of military weapons.

At the same time, the factory is equipped with the most advanced production lines, and the variety is extensive.

From airplanes and tanks to machine guns and grenades, everything can be produced here.

Most importantly, the production speed of this large military factory is three to five times that of ordinary military factories on Earth.

If Hu Jun still thinks the speed is too slow, he can even accelerate production using personal prestige, which is basically paying for it.

Besides the super intelligent military factory, the adjacent military weapons research center is even more advanced.

This military weapons research center can formulate weapon development plans based on the current situation of the faction.

After completing technical research, it will automatically transmit the new technology to the super intelligent military factory.

Directly achieving a one-stop service for research and production.

Of course, in addition to having its own customized weapon development plans.

This military weapons research center can also develop certain military weapons according to Hu Jun's wishes.

Of course, this mode requires spending personal prestige.

The more advanced the performance of the weapon equipment to be developed, the more personal prestige needs to be paid.

As long as he has enough personal prestige, even if he wants to develop a Gundam, this military weapons research center should be able to create it.

Hu Jun was naturally very satisfied with these two building units.

After a moment of contemplation.

He assigned the first research task to the military weapons research center.

【I need a complete set of single-soldier combat equipment, including but not limited to machine guns, bulletproof vests, grenades, in short, the more comprehensive and better performance the better.】

Now that he has two large oil and gas fields, Hu Jun no longer worries about money.

As long as the equipment is good enough, he is willing to spend as much money as needed.

If he runs out of money, he will simply continue to find oil fields.

Anyway, there are oil fields and various mineral resources everywhere beneath Yemeni soil.

Not long after Hu Jun's order was issued.

The military weapons research center provided two development plans.

【Single-Soldier Combat Equipment (Low-Configuration): M16A4 rifle, using 5.56mm caliber ammunition, with a maximum effective range of 550 meters, can be equipped with various sights and attachments, priced at approximately $700 per piece.

Core tactical helmet, featuring lightweight, sturdy, bulletproof and ventilation, can be installed with night vision goggles, cameras, headphones, etc., priced at approximately $1000 per piece.

Interceptor bulletproof vest, consisting of soft and hard layers, can effectively protect against pistol and rifle bullets, and can also carry various magazines, water bottles, medical kits, etc., priced at approximately $1500 per piece.

Professional tactical gloves, can protect soldier's hands and improve weapon holding stability and equipment operation sensitivity, priced at approximately $50 per pair.

Multifunctional backpack, can carry clothing, food, water, sleeping bags, tents, etc., as well as solar panels, radios, and other communication equipment, priced at approximately $500 per piece.

Night vision goggles, provide soldiers with clear vision in darkness, greatly improving night combat capability and safety, priced at approximately $3000 per piece.

...

Noise-canceling headphones, can reduce noise damage to hearing from gunshots and explosions, and can receive and transmit radio signals, maintaining communication with command and teammates, priced at approximately $500 per piece.

The market price for a set of equipment is approximately $40,000.

Research time: One day.

Personal prestige required: 200,000.

If produced by the super intelligent military factory, the cost will be reduced by approximately half.

"Damn! This is called a low-configuration?!"

After the military weapons research center presented him with the first single-soldier combat equipment development plan, he was completely shocked.

This single-soldier equipment is too comprehensive, not only with advanced rifles and bulletproof equipment, but also with tactical helmets, night vision goggles, and noise-canceling headphones.

This is truly armed to the teeth.

The quality and technical content of this single-soldier equipment far surpass those of ordinary soldiers in other countries.

It is estimated that only superpowers like the United States would equip their ordinary soldiers with such expensive and technologically advanced single-soldier weapons.

Not to mention their Houthi armed forces, even an ordinary adult wearing this equipment could probably run rampant on the battlefield.

If they equip each member of their Houthi armed forces with one set of this equipment.

Wouldn't the Arab coalition and Yemeni government forces be reduced to ashes by them?

Thinking about this, Hu Jun became excited.

...
