Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling accidentally drank mineral water while drinking water and decided to dig here.

As the night deepened, the camp was silent, with only the campfire still burning. Zhang Ling sat by the campfire in the middle of the camp, holding a kettle in his hand and drinking a sip of water happily. He was very pleased with today's harvest. After a hearty meal, the soldiers' spirits and morale were greatly improved.

"It's a great day." Zhang Ling thought silently in his heart, put down the kettle, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the kettle again. When he drank the water just now, he faintly felt a strange taste, not ordinary mountain spring water, nor the well water he usually drinks, but a light mineral taste with an indescribable clearness.

"Yunlong, come here." Zhang Ling suddenly spoke and shouted.

Li Yunlong, who was happily chatting with a few soldiers not far away, came over immediately and asked with a smile: "Commander, what's the matter? If you want to eat meat again, I have to rest for a while before I can get it."

Zhang Ling smiled, handed the kettle to Li Yunlong, and motioned him to take a sip: "Try this water and see if there is any difference."

Li Yunlong took the kettle and drank a sip with doubt. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a hint of surprise. He tasted it carefully again, and then said: "Commander, this water is a bit wrong... It seems to have a mineral taste?"

Zhang Ling nodded, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I also discovered it when I drank it just now. This is not ordinary spring water, it should be water containing minerals."

Li Yunlong frowned slightly: "Commander, are you saying... there might be a mineral vein nearby?"

Zhang Ling nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "It is very likely. The area where we are stationed now has special geographical conditions. If we can find mineral springs or mineral veins, it will be a great resource for us."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with excitement: "Commander, if this is true, it would be great! This is a great discovery. It can not only solve our drinking water problem, but also provide a lot of strategic resources."

Zhang Ling nodded, but he did not jump to conclusions. Instead, he pondered for a while and then decisively issued an order: "Yunlong, tomorrow morning, you take people to the surrounding area for a careful survey, especially the source of the water. We must confirm whether there are mineral veins here. If there are, we must report to our superiors immediately and make subsequent development plans."

Li Yunlong immediately accepted the order, his face full of excitement and anticipation: "Commander, don't worry, I will conduct a thorough investigation tomorrow and try to bring you good news!"

Zhang Ling watched Li Yunlong leave, still thinking about the discovery. If they really found a mineral vein, it would undoubtedly bring a huge advantage to their troops. Every resource on the battlefield is crucial, especially in the current tense situation, any discovery of resources may change the situation.

In the dead of night, Zhang Ling lay on his simple bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The smell of mineral water kept lingering in his mind, and his thoughts kept turning, thinking about how to develop and utilize the mineral vein if he really found it.

"If we can find a mineral vein, it will not only solve the drinking water problem, but also provide important strategic resources for the battles on the front lines." Zhang Ling thought silently in his heart, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The next morning, just after dawn, Li Yunlong led a team to start a detailed survey of the surrounding area. Zhang Ling stood outside the command center, watching Li Yunlong and his team leave, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness. This survey was of great significance to them, and he was eager to get good news.

A few hours later, Li Yunlong led the team back to the camp. Zhang Ling immediately went forward with inquiring eyes.

"Commander, we found some clues." Li Yunlong reported excitedly, "We found several small pits with spring water in the northwest of the camp. The water quality there is the same as what you drank last night, and there are obvious signs of mineral precipitation underground."

Zhang Ling's heart suddenly lifted when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What is the flow rate of the water source? Have you continued to conduct in-depth surveys?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said quickly: "The flow of the water source is not bad. There are obvious mineral deposits around the spring, which should come from the underground veins. We tentatively dug some soil layers and found that there are indeed traces of ore in the soil below, but we didn't continue to dig deeper for fear of damaging the veins."

Zhang Ling was excited. Although they had not yet fully confirmed the size and type of the mineral vein, these preliminary findings were enough to give him hope. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then issued further orders: "Okay, Yunlong, you did a great job. Now report to your superiors immediately, report our findings in detail, and request a professional exploration team to come for further confirmation."

Li Yunlong immediately took the order and quickly arranged for the writing and delivery of the report. Zhang Ling stood outside the headquarters, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that once the superiors confirmed the existence of the mineral vein, this area would become an important support point for their front-line battles.

A few days later, Zhang Ling's report was highly valued by his superiors. A team of geological experts was dispatched to Zhang Ling's camp to conduct a more detailed survey and measurement of the mineral vein. Zhang Ling personally accompanied the experts to the site where the mineral water was discovered. While listening carefully to the experts' analysis, he discussed with them the possible strategic significance of the mineral vein.

"Commander, the geological conditions here are indeed very conducive to the formation of minerals." A geologist said seriously after measuring with the instrument in his hand, "According to our preliminary survey, there may indeed be a mineral vein underground here, especially iron ore or manganese ore. If further exploration confirms it, we can mine enough ore here for use on the front line."

Zhang Ling was greatly excited after hearing this. He knew that this was not just an accidental discovery, but also a huge strategic opportunity. Once the mineral veins here were confirmed and mined, their troops would have a steady supply of ore, providing strong logistical support for the battle.

"This discovery is very important to us." Zhang Ling said firmly, "I will fully cooperate with your work to ensure the smooth exploration and development of the mineral vein."

The geologist nodded and said, "Commander, this mineral vein has great potential, but it will take time and manpower to develop it. During this time, we must ensure the safety of the mineral vein to prevent the enemy from discovering and interfering."

Zhang Ling was well aware of the interests involved, and he immediately issued an order: "Yunlong, immediately strengthen the defense of this area, and never let the enemy get close to here. We must confirm the mineral vein and start mining in the shortest possible time."

Li Yunlong immediately took the order and quickly organized the troops to strengthen patrols and defense of the mine area. He knew that once the mine was discovered by the enemy, it would cause a huge conflict, and they had to be fully prepared before the enemy took action.

As time went by, the exploration of the mineral vein was carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Zhang Ling personally inquired about the progress every day and kept in close contact with geological experts. Finally, after several weeks of hard work, the existence of the mineral vein was finally confirmed, and the preliminary estimate of the mineral vein's reserves was very considerable, enough to support the long-term combat needs of the front line.

This news made Zhang Ling and his troops extremely excited. Zhang Ling immediately submitted a plan for the development of the mineral vein to his superiors and requested more technical and manpower support. At the same time, he also began to consider how to make the most of this discovery and provide more support for the battle on the front line.

One night, Zhang Ling once again called together his core team. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and several senior officers all appeared in the headquarters. Zhang Ling looked at them with a serious look on his face.

"Comrades, the mineral vein we discovered this time will become an important resource for our frontline operations." Zhang Ling said with a firm tone, "But we must be clear that developing this mineral vein is not only for the victory of our troops, but also for the victory of the entire war."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement: "Commander, the mine is

Zhang Ling activated the system and obtained a super large amount of supplies and rewards.

It was late at night, with only a few dim lights in the camp, and occasionally patrolling soldiers passing by in the distance. Zhang Ling sat at his desk in the headquarters, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. The situation on the front line was becoming increasingly tense, the enemy had stepped up its offensive, and the troops' supplies were becoming increasingly scarce. This made Zhang Ling feel uneasy.

"If this continues, I'm afraid the continuity of the battle will be seriously affected." Zhang Ling thought to himself, frowning. He knew that supplies were the lifeblood of war, and without sufficient supplies, even the bravest soldiers would find it difficult to hold out for a long time.

At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly came over Zhang Ling. A bright light seemed to flash before his eyes, and then a slight vibration spread throughout his body. Zhang Ling stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "What's going on?"

Before he could react, his vision suddenly changed. A translucent screen appeared in front of him, showing some words and icons he had never seen before. Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, then he looked at it carefully, and the content on the screen gradually became clear.

"System activation... Please wait."

Zhang Ling's heartbeat began to speed up. He felt a little unbelievable: "System? What is this? How did it suddenly appear in front of me?"

Just as he was thinking, the text on the light screen changed.
