After consulting with Xing Zhiguo, Wang Diren handed the blueprints for the heavy machine gun’s anti-aircraft mount to the Independent Regiment’s arsenal for production. The blueprints for the anti-aircraft machine gun itself were sent to the Huangyadong Arsenal, along with a supply of imported steel piping of the corresponding caliber.
Because anti-aircraft machine guns and submachine guns consume ammunition at an astronomical rate, their production required massive resources. Consequently, Wang Diren began considering how to expedite the development of the coal, iron, and copper deposits in Ping'an County. However, this would require a series of specialized prospecting and mining equipment, so he decided to return to the modern world once more.
Before leaving, he stopped by Headquarters' general store. He discovered that Headquarters had collected a large number of jade and bronze artifacts. Considering that the museum construction was nearing completion, he gathered up a significant portion of them. He then found Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to provide them with detailed instructions before nonchalantly returning to the modern world.
