Opening the Red Alert page, the first thing Ye Fan checked was the construction page.

This page had an additional main building.

Repair Factory: Price 1 million Gold.

Ye Fan was stunned; he could understand why the Combat Laboratory was expensive, but why was the Repair Factory so costly?

As soon as he had this question, Nana immediately provided an explanation.

"Sir, once the Repair Factory is built, you can increase the production of base vehicles on the machinery page. Just producing a single base vehicle is worth the price itself."

With this explanation, Ye Fan immediately felt it was worth the price.

The effort it took to produce a base vehicle back then was still fresh in his memory; it was nothing short of a nightmare.

By producing more base vehicles, Ye Fan could even leave the current Dawn City and set up a second base.

Of course, there's no immediate necessity, but it shows the value of the Repair Factory.

Moreover, the Repair Factory can also repair all ground and air vehicles, and in the game, it can clear out Terror Drones.

However, at this price, Ye Fan wouldn't build it for now; he needed the money to expand the army.

So he continued to choose to produce Barracks, though there was currently no room for them in the core area, unless he completely abandoned expanding the Tank Factory.

Never mind, he'll build it anyway and deal with it later.

After reviewing the main construction page, the next was the defense buildings.

The defense building page hadn't changed for a long time, so there should be some updates this time.

Upon opening it, the defense page indeed had new options.

Anti-Air Missile Platform: Price 100,000 Gold.

Crack Generator: Price 200,000 Gold.

Ye Fan thought for a moment and quickly came to a realization.

The Anti-Air Missile Platform should correspond to the Patriot Missiles in the game.

The missiles in the game were often criticized, likely due to their health bar, as many hits didn't even take down a single aircraft.

However, Ye Fan saw that this Anti-Air Missile Platform was different.

After checking the data, the information was immediately displayed.

Anti-Air Missile Platform: Equipped with an anti-air radar, a navigation station, four launch platforms, capable of launching eight Q-12 anti-air missiles.

Radar detection radius is 115 kilometers in the airspace, tracking distance is 80 kilometers, guidance distance is 50 kilometers, capable of simultaneously guiding missiles to attack 3-6 aerial targets, with anti-jamming capabilities.

Missile dimensions are 5.6 meters long, 0.4 meters in diameter, 1.2 meters in wingspan, weighing 900 kilograms, with a flight ceiling of 25 kilometers and a range of 50 kilometers.

Note: The missile count refreshes by one each week, or can be replenished with the purchase of 10,000 Gold.

The Dawn Army has always lacked powerful anti-air firepower; fortunately, the apocalypse had only recently started. Even if there were enemies, no one had a particularly strong air force yet, so Ye Fan hadn't paid much attention to this.

However, after a few days ago when the Storm Army's fighters showed up, Ye Fan's perspective changed.

Anti-air defense is a must.

If a jet fighter can appear now, who knows, a bomber might also show up in the future.

Should one drop a string of bombs over here, much hard work would be reduced to ashes.

Ye Fan couldn't accept such a result.

So Ye Fan didn't hesitate, immediately spending 100,000 Gold to construct an Anti-Air Missile Platform after seeing it.

"Construction of Anti-Air Missile Platform confirmed, costing 100,000 Gold, requiring 16 hours and 40 minutes to complete. Please be patient, Sir."

With the construction of the Anti-Air Missile Platform, Ye Fan felt much more at ease.

As for the second defense building, the Crack Generator, Ye Fan was very clear about its purpose.

This is the real high-tech.

Once deployed, it can shroud a large area, making it invisible to enemy radars or spy satellites.

However, Ye Fan didn't think anyone could currently use radar to spy on the Dawn Army.

So he wasn't sure about whether to build the Crack Generator or not.

At this time, Nana gave Ye Fan a suggestion.

"Sir, in reality, the Crack Generator can not only generate electromagnetic interference to prevent radar spying but also create fog to cover a small area, making it impossible to see with the naked eye from thirty meters away."

"Oh! It has such functions?"

"Yes."

"Can the fog cover my core area?"

"Yes."

"What about inside the fog? Will our vision be affected as well?"

"The fog is only on the surface; vision inside is not affected."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan made up his mind.

With the future development of Dawn City, skyscrapers will soon rise, and the core area will inevitably be spied upon.

Moreover, there are mountains around, which people are unlikely to climb now in winter, but come summer, it becomes inevitable, and covering it becomes necessary.

The appearance of the Crack Generator perfectly solves this issue; at least no one can view the core area, whether by naked eye or radar.

Once the Anti-Air Missile Platform is constructed, Ye Fan will proceed with the Crack Generator construction.

Completely covering the core area ensures no one peeks, keeping the Combat Laboratory, airport, and other important facilities completely concealed.

Feeling very pleased, Ye Fan opened the soldier page.

Since the Combat Laboratory is exclusively for the army, it also adds army combat units for Ye Fan.

Spy: Cost 1000 Gold.

Special Forces: Cost 1200 Gold.

Type 58 Twin-Mount Heavy Machine Gun: Cost 4000 Gold.

These three are newly added units.

Ye Fan knew about the spy. He opened a box and a beautiful female spy came out, seeming somewhat special.

Now the spy unit has been added, costing a thousand, similar to what's in the game.

Special Forces appear for the first time.

Ye Fan thinks the Special Forces are somewhat like the Navy SEALs in the game, but not quite, because Navy SEALs belong to the navy.

This is entirely the army, costing 1200. In the absence of heavy firepower, it's absolutely very high among infantry.

Scouts can also be considered quasi-Special Forces, but they probably can't compare with real Special Forces.

The last new unit is what excites Ye Fan the most.

This guy is a massive weapon!

He checked this data, which immediately appeared before Ye Fan's eyes.

Twin-Mount Heavy Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun: Composed of two Type 36 14.5 anti-aircraft machine gun bodies, Type 58 quad anti-aircraft machine gun sights, and a two-wheeled gun carriage, can be towed by vehicles, manned.

Caliber 14.5mm, total length 3900mm, barrel length 1342mm, total weight 360 kilograms, theoretical rate of fire 1200 rounds per minute, combat rate of fire 300 rounds per minute, effective anti-aircraft range 2000 meters, flat-fire range 1500 meters.

In No-Star status, it carries 10,000 rounds, and each Level 1 Star Promotion adds 5000 rounds.

This thing is quite a brutal battlefield weapon. It's ineffective against tanks, but for light weapons below armored vehicles, especially personnel, it's simply a divine weapon.

This thing also has a nickname, "Don't poke your head out within a kilometer."

If you poke your head out, you die.

Similar to the D-66 rocket launcher, in modern high-tech warfare, this thing may not have much use, but in the current low-tech situation, especially when facing zombies, it's incredibly useful.

Ye Fan didn't hesitate. He could forgo producing spies and Special Forces for now, making twenty of these things instead.

Since it's a machine gun type, it can be produced in the Barracks. Ye Fan has plenty of Barracks, so production is fast.

Eighty thousand Gold spent, and Ye Fan continued to open the next page.

This is also the highlight after the Combat Laboratory's creation, the mechanical page.

After opening it, several units have been added inside.

Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle: Cost 5000 Gold.

152mm Cannon: Cost 15000 Gold.

Main Battle Tank: Cost 35000 Gold.

These three units are the new combat bodies added to Ye Fan's mechanical interface.

Looking at these three combat bodies, Ye Fan could hardly believe they were real.

The Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle is a multifunction army vehicle.

This vehicle's greatest ability is to move over almost any terrain, with rapid assault power and decent assault firepower.

And a very important point is that this thing can be used for air drops.

A major drawback of airborne forces is the lack of firepower and mobility, and this assault vehicle greatly addresses this drawback.

Fast, not lacking in firepower, it can form a rapid strike force behind enemy lines.

The appearance of this thing is a surprise, the remaining two are more of a shock.

The 152mm cannon, on previous battlefields, was deserving of the God of War's reputation.

If these long-range cannons, with a maximum range of 30 kilometers, are lined up, it would spell disaster for any human army.

Let alone being used to bomb zombies, even King Kong Zombies couldn't survive under this kind of cannon fire.

The cost of 15000 is not high, perfectly acceptable.

The last one is what Ye Fan likes even more.

The medium Main Battle Tank, a dream and sentiment for many military enthusiasts.

Eventually modified and upgraded, making this tank increasingly powerful and more attractive.

Of course, having a medium tank doesn't mean light tanks are useless. Each tank has its unique advantages and irreplaceable roles.

Only in direct confrontations, the D-55 style has stronger combat power.

However, Ye Fan did not let the new weapons go to his head. He still asked Nana.

"What about rockets, missiles, Apocalypse Tanks? Aren't they all supposed to be army equipment?"

"Sir, the weaponry is unlocked bit by bit, and as I've previously advised, the current army Combat Laboratory is not complete, it can only unlock some technological equipment, so please be patient, everything you can think of will be there, even things you can't imagine."

"The Engineers in the Combat Laboratory are not slackers, they will continuously bring you surprises!"

"Hmm, then I'm relieved."

Ye Fan stopped asking.

Looking at these newly added powerful troops, Ye Fan took a deep breath.

"This time, we're really upgrading from muskets to cannons!"

Click, select! Next, it's time for some happy spending!
