Zhang Laosi squeezed out the crowd, smiling in his mouth, he got the soap production technology, and he could produce soap when he went back, soap can be said to be in short supply in Zhangjiacheng, and the family will buy a piece in a few days, if there are more people in the family, use more.

In addition to cleaning the body, soap should also be used for cleaning clothes, saving is not much, with the attention of the people of Zhangjiacheng to hygiene, the demand for soap will not decrease.

Zhang Laosi was triumphant, grinning and walking back, with his hands behind his back, with soap technology, he could earn more silver coins, which no one could refuse, the surrounding people looked at Zhang Laosi who was passing by, and they didn't say anything in their mouths, they were envious in their hearts, there was no reason, because Zhang Laosi was dressed in satin clothes, which was much stronger than other people in sackcloth.

Zhang Laosi returned home, found a reader to come to him to help, he got the technical information, the words on it do not have many understanding, as for outsiders to see whether it will cause the leakage of soap technology, Zhang Laosi is not afraid, soap technology is not afraid of leakage after the secret is made public, the key is the production of soap sales qualifications.

People who have not obtained soap sales, get soap technology to produce soap privately, and use nothing for themselves, but dare to sell it in the market, then wait to be raided!

Zhang Laosi and the reader he found tinkered with for a long time, of course, in small batches, that is, whale oil from a face plate was used as a test to verify whether the soap could be produced.

Soon after, a bunch of viscous liquid was produced, Zhang Laosi breathed a sigh of relief, the soap has been basically completed to this point, don't look at it is viscous now, as long as it is dried and it is the soap sold in Zhangjiacheng.

Zhang Laosi knows that the main raw material of soap is oil, and other materials can be easily found, but oil, this is a little difficult, Zhang Laosi knows that the oil used by the people of Zhangjiacheng is whale oil, and a large part of it is to make soap in addition to food.

To get soap technology, there are two ways to hand over the soap production cost, one is to buy from the chief, all the oil in Zhangjiacheng is in the hands of Chen Zijian, you can only buy it if you want to, and it will not work to want a lot of oil in other ways, and the other is to kill whales by yourself, Zhang Laosi has five fishing boats, which were used to catch ordinary marine fish before, and now the oil is used, so it is more cost-effective to kill whales by yourself. Thinking of this, Zhang Laosi had already made up his mind.

In the barracks, along with Chen Zijian, there were hundreds of transport vehicles.

When the volunteers go out to fight, there is a big drawback, that is, they lack effective physical protection, and they are easily injured by the enemy.

Although the Minuteman guns are being used in large quantities, they give the Volunteers a layer of protection and reduce casualties. Chen Zijian is willing to spend this money.

Niu Sheng supervises the training of the legion in the barracks, no matter which legion, running 5,000 meters is an indispensable training subject, it is impossible for a volunteer to have a horse, the current volunteer fighters have more than 80,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 logistics and transportation, so many people and a horse, I can't find so many horses after buying Chen Zijian, and Guangdong Province is not a horse breeding area, it is not bad to find a few hundred horses, and tens of thousands of horses are counted.

There are no horses to walk, so they can only replace running, and after such a long period of nutritional compensation, the body of the volunteers can withstand such training intensity. If the Volunteers had just entered, Chen Zijian would not have dared to train like this, but now they eat and drink well, and it is time to improve their physical fitness.

Hearing that the chief was coming, Niu Sheng left the trained volunteers and ran over to stammer. "Chief, why do you have time to come!"

Chen Zijian pouted to Nunu behind him, "Na! The back is all armor, made of whale skin and pieces of iron, which can reduce the degree of injury of the brothers, brought to you. ”

Speaking of this batch of armor, the vital parts are protected by 0.5 mm iron sheets, and the rest of the parts are protected by whale skin, this level of protection, the local long-range enemy bows and arrows are almost the same, as for hand-to-hand combat, uh, this is not considered, since the large-scale equipment of the Mini gun, Chen Zijian has not considered the matter of hand-to-hand combat, that officer dares to let the volunteers fight in close combat, Chen Zijian must have kicked such a waste wood officer out of the volunteers, how far to roll and how far, long-range killing and injuring the enemy is the royal road, hand-to-hand combat? Inexistent.

The whale armor can resist the shot of the bow and arrow, and Chen Zijian no longer considers anything else.

Niu Sheng went to the back of the car, took out a helmet, knocked it a few times, and asked, "Chief, how does this helmet look like a small pot?"

Chen Zijian: "As long as it can be used, you don't care what it looks like, it's okay if this helmet is shot with a bow and arrow, of course, I don't know if my neck hurts." ”

The helmet adopts stamping technology, stamping with a piece of iron sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm, adding whale skin as iron armor to isolate the head, adding whale skin also has an advantage, that is, buffering the attack force, for example, the volunteer wearing a helmet was shot in the head by the enemy archer, there is a helmet to protect the whale skin buffer, at most to complete the concussion damage, there is not much of a problem, plus the helmet round shape, the bow and arrow will slip when shot at the helmet, reducing the probability of injury to a large extent.

Niu Sheng was happy in his heart, and looked at Chen Zijian in disbelief: "Chief, are you going to put armor on all your brothers?"

Chen Zijian nodded and said: "That's right, in the past, brothers didn't have protective gear in battle, and most of the casualties were on the opponent's bow and arrow, so I plan to build a large number of them."

80,000 sets of armor cost Chen Zijian a huge amount of money, in order to reduce the death data of the volunteers, the money is a lot of money, but it is more important to save the lives of the volunteers.

The ex-factory price of a set of such armor is twenty silver coins, which is due to the fact that Chen Zijian has all the materials, so it will be so cheap, the iron material of the armor, and the whale skin belong to Chen Zijian personally, and the ex-factory price will be so cheap, and this ex-factory price does not include the cost of workers.

Ninety thousand sets of armor, the cost alone is 1.8 million silver coins, and the army is a gold-swallowing beast.

Zhangjiacheng currently has a population of more than 30 people, and if it relies on agriculture to support so many people, it can be said that there is no need for others to attack Zhangjiacheng, and Zhangjiacheng will go bankrupt, and the agricultural output value will not be able to support so many people. Chen Zijian's wisdom lies in the development of marine fishing, as well as the development of preliminary industries, and the use of these two to support the development of Zhangjiacheng.

Agriculture has always been an important position in the dynasty in ancient times, but in Zhangjiacheng, agriculture has become a chicken rib existence, and Chen Zijian left it to his own development.

With Chen Zijian's permission, Niu Sheng took out a set of armor from the transport car, and quickly managed a suit of armor, Niu Sheng put on a helmet, which really tasted like a warrior.

Chen Zijian: "Tsk, that's good, do you want me to try your armor for you?" ”

Niu Sheng: "How to try?" ”

"It's different to stand, I'll shoot you and see how much it hurts."

Niu Sheng was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, what are you kidding, not to mention how much armor protection is, he was aimed at by the Minny gun and shot, and everyone was afraid.

Chen Zijian said casually, "I don't want you to be the goal, go and find me a livestock." ”

The protective power of the armor, Chen Zijian has not tested it before, and he doesn't care after the style design is handed over to the factory, and the 1,000 sets of armor produced this time are used for testing, and 90,000 sets will be produced after there is no big problem.

The factory is now stockpiling large quantities of whale skins and iron sheets, waiting for production after the Chinese New Year.

Chen Zijian asked the volunteers to put the helmet in the distance, and first tested it with a Mini gun, and the results went without saying, the helmet was 0.5 mm iron, even if it was added with whale skin, it could not withstand the 50-meter shot of the Mini gun, and a bullet was found inside the helmet.

The reality is that the volunteers wearing such helmets were hit in the head by the Minnie gun, and the end result was that the head was punched out of the hole, this result Chen Zijian expected, the helmet was not used to resist the shooting of the Mini gun, and the enemies of the volunteers did not use the Mini gun, this test was purely redundant.

Then there is the test of the bow and arrow, the main test is also this, the future enemy of the volunteers, the bow and arrow is a good hand, the Qing soldiers are famous for their cavalry, and the Mongolian soldiers, who have been shooting arrows on horses since childhood, the famous horse archers, the volunteers are facing their attacks.

It is still possible to find an archer among the volunteers, and the archer shoots an arrow with a swift arrow, and the feather arrow hits the helmet thirty meters away, and the shape of the helmet makes the feather arrow slip.

Then there was a test of the armor, and Chen Zijian wanted to see how much the bow and arrow protected the armor.

The armor test ended quickly, Chen Zijian nodded in satisfaction, there is no problem with the armor to resist general damage, and this is enough.

There is a disadvantage of armor, that is, it is not breathable after wearing, if you wear it running, you can't sweat it, and it doesn't feel good to think about wearing armor, but it is the biggest problem to be able to keep it from being injured on the battlefield, and the small shortcomings are nothing, between sweat and injury, how to choose is needless to say.

Chen Zijian: "After all the brothers are equipped with armor, they must wear armor for training. ”

Niu Sheng nodded, "Don't worry, chief, I will supervise them." ”

It is very important to familiarize yourself with the armor equipment in advance, after wearing the armor, it has a certain impact on flexibility, and it is worth it to increase the protection of the body.
