Chapter 50 Large-Scale Purchase: Caution and Proceedings

For the next two days, Lin Wan spent her time at home doing housework and cooking, and studying the rest of the time.

When they see something important, they will draw it out as a picture.

The simple and clear illustrations, along with the accompanying text explanations, make it easy for even those unfamiliar with the subject to understand, especially when combined with the context.

In the future, these drones can be sent to the rear for drone training and can also be used as teaching materials.

He even paid for it himself, allowing Chen Huai'an to stay at the experience center for two extra hours.

I treated it like the college entrance exam, studying diligently how to operate it, understanding the meaning of each icon, and even asking about the production principles in great detail.

In just two days of learning, their understanding and knowledge of drone operation is more in-depth than that of Chen Huai'an, a modern person.

After all, he was once a top student and is fluent in four languages.

I spend all my time at home on the computer, and I even find international academic papers that are all in foreign languages ​​to study.

Chen Huai'an simply assisted quietly, providing all the help he could.

Because of his diligent study, he disrupted his plans for the next two days.

Some of the original plans had to be postponed by two days.

However, Chen Huai'an has not been idle these past two days, and has been making good use of the time to prepare various supplies.

We didn't buy many supplies before because we were poor.

Now that we have money, we naturally want to purchase at the maximum allowed level.

Penicillin, chloroquine phosphate tablets, quinine, 100,000 pairs of stockings, and even two boxes of self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot for emergencies.

Fifty thousand pairs of stockings were supplied to the three major department stores in Shanghai to continue trading antiques and medicinal materials, while another fifty thousand pairs were transported to Beiping for sale.

Beiping has just experienced persecution by the reactionaries, and both the new government and the people are very poor.

By shipping this batch of stockings over, we can make money off those wealthy people.

With money, people can purchase supplies and solve their basic needs for food and daily life.

In addition, one ton of veterinary penicillin was purchased from different stores through decentralized purchasing.

Then all we need to do is repackage them, and we can export them to earn foreign exchange.

After discussing with Lin Wan, Chen Huai'an purchased 20 Dajiang 4Pro drones. After being manually unlocked, they could fly at an altitude of 500 meters without worrying about being detected by the monitoring platform, and the maximum flight time was up to 51 minutes.

Easy to carry, it is simply a divine weapon for reconnaissance.

After some haggling, the price was reduced from 2.4 yuan per unit to 2 yuan per unit.

After these drones are brought back, it will be decided by the higher-ups whether to use them. If they are not used, they can be kept in the Time Treasure Chest without fear of being obtained by others.

The total cost of this purchase was one million yuan.

With so many supplies, just scraping off the expiration dates and repackaging the medicine was exhausting enough.

I was wondering if I should hire two employees specifically to do these things.

Two days passed quickly in a flurry of activity.

Evening

The small living room was crammed with supplies. Even the dining table and coffee table had been moved aside to make room.

This is only the supplies for a ten-square-meter space; the space will be expanded once the Time-Space Treasure Chest is upgraded.

This tiny rental room can't even hold it all.

Moving to a new house or renting a spacious warehouse is now an urgent matter.

After seeing Lin Wan off, we must get this matter settled.

According to the prompts on the upper panel of the arm, the Time-Space Treasure Chest can be upgraded after gaining proficiency twice, and its space will double.

This tiny one-bedroom apartment is so small that even if you move the bed out, it's still not enough room.

As your proficiency increases, your level will gradually increase as well.

However, leveling up is easy in the early stages, but as the level increases, the required proficiency becomes higher and the difficulty increases.

But for the current situation, it's sufficient.

The purchase of materials cost one million, and there is still ten million left from the sale of antiques.

This number seems like a lot. If it were in a second-tier city, it would be enough to buy a house and a car worth 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, enough to live comfortably for the rest of one's life.

But when it comes to aiding a new world on the verge of being established, ten million dollars is like a drop of water falling into an endless ocean—it won't even cause a ripple.

When it comes time to find suitable machines to purchase in the future, this amount of money won't even cover the deposit!

at dusk

After dinner, the two conducted their final checks.

Lin Wan changed into a shirt, riding breeches, and calfskin boots that she had worn during the Republic of China era, giving her a retro and fashionable look.

Having learned from the lesson of losing her clothes after the last time she traveled through time, she was well prepared this time.

I changed out of all the clothes I wore in 2025, washed them myself, and hung them under the awning in my bedroom.

It will be dry by the time she comes back next time, so she won't need to "trouble" anyone else to wash or put it away for her.

Chen Huai'an held a folder in his hand, on which were written the names and quantities of various purchased supplies.

Each time an item is checked, a checkmark will be drawn next to it.

Only after confirming that nothing had been missed did he turn around and give instructions.

"The medicines have all been stripped of their dates, so it doesn't matter if they fall into the hands of the Security Bureau."

However, drones must be stored properly.

Every use must be done with care, and the detection range must be kept within the recoverable area.

Even in the event of an emergency, it can be retrieved in time to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

To make it easier to transport the goods out of Shanghai, I specifically chose flat cardboard boxes for packing.

Ten units were packed in one cardboard box, and then wrapped in a plastic bag for waterproofing.

During transport, firewood is used as a base, then a box of drones is placed inside, and firewood is placed on top, followed by another box of drones.

Oil drums were placed on top and around the firewood so that in case of an emergency, the gasoline would soak the two cardboard boxes and the firewood.

When the fire starts, everything will be reduced to ashes.

Even if the wreckage were collected, it wouldn't be of much research value.

"Don't use explosives, or they'll blow up everything before the fire is even finished burning, leaving only unburned fragments!"

Chen Huai'an whispered instructions, specifically emphasizing that the transportation of the drones must be carried out flawlessly.

Even if we are blocked by the enemy, we must burn it before they can.

Based on his understanding of the fearlessness of the soldiers on the covert front, he figured that when the goods were being transported by truck, someone would volunteer to stand guard next to them.

When it comes to the final step, they will sacrifice themselves by igniting gasoline to burn all the drones and medicines.

If these items had been in the possession of the Kuomintang reactionaries, they would certainly have been seized intact during transport.

After all, the title of "transportation team leader" is not just for show.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Wan pouted, a hint of helplessness flashing across her pretty face.

This is the third time I've told her to be careful.

However, hearing the caring words of advice still made me feel very happy.

"Summon the treasure chest." With a slight parting of her red lips, a treasure chest emanating a mysterious aura appeared out of thin air beneath her feet.

Chen Huai'an nodded and raised his left arm toward the supplies.

With just a thought, the neatly stacked supplies vanished into thin air.

The submachine gun that was placed on the box was also put into the treasure chest.

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

Lin Wan put away the treasure chest, opened the bedroom door, and resolutely stepped into the rotating starry sky.
