Chapter Seventy-One: The Selection Ends
In the morning, Bai Yang first inspected the Baiyang Paper Workshop and the Weapons Workshop, and carefully inspected the output of Baiyang Paper, the degree of further specialization, and the smelting of steel one by one. Sun Chen and the others followed him, tossing and turning in fear all morning, afraid that Bai Yang would be dissatisfied with his work.
After lunch, Bai Yang and Sun Chen, Liu Lao, and Li Lao entered the conference room of Taishou Mansion and chatted. Of course, the main thing in this is Bai Yang, who listened carefully as if they were curious babies.
Bai Yang mainly made a general requirement for the main and secondary weapons of the three major military branches and the concept of equipping them, and everyone designed several styles of each weapon according to Bai Yang's description, and the rest of the things can only wait for the weapon samples to be made before further discussion and research are determined.
After that, Bai Yang told them about some ideas such as movable type printing, special paper, bows and crossbows, and several people listened to it with a blanket on their faces. After Bai Yang's repeated explanations, several people roughly knew what was going on. In fact, it is the same thing to talk about movable type printing, which used to be mainly people's ideological fixed words, and this kind of thing only needs to be clicked on order to know the principle.
After saying some requirements, Bai Yang hoped to study it as much as possible, because he felt that this matter was very important to the development of the base. But it's useless to be in a hurry about this kind of thing, especially this kind of scientific research project. Moreover, at this time, people were not particularly mature in terms of scientific research, both ideologically and conditionally, and of course, they might suddenly study it.
As for the crossbow, this kind of weapon has been available in this period, and Bai Yang has used it a lot in his previous life, all kinds of which are installed and dismantled, dismantled and installed, so he is very familiar with its principle.
It's just that during this period, Bai Yang told them a lot of principles, and wanted them to improve it on the existing basis, just like the Zhuge Repeater developed by Zhuge Liang later, which can be loaded with more than ten or twenty arrows at a time, and when the time comes, Bai Yang can be used as a spear for future generations after training.
It didn't take long to invent it, preferably with small repeaters. If this kind of repeater is equipped with the Wolf Warrior Special Combat Team, the combat effectiveness of the team members will increase exponentially.
In later books, it is recorded that Shu Han failed several times in the Northern Expedition, but each time he was able to successfully retreat. There are many reasons for this, but if you want to say that there is no one who doesn't even believe in the crossbow to kill Bai Yang, after all, Shu Han had the most powerful crossbow soldiers in the Three Kingdoms at that time.
Just as a few people were discussing in the conference room, they suddenly heard a chaotic shouting sound coming from outside. Bai Yang patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about it when I was busy, it should be Huang Commander who led them back." Minister Sun, you should first sum up the total and strive to make the samples as soon as possible. I went to the military garrison to have a look, and I thought that the tryouts were over. After that, he hurriedly left the Taishou Mansion and walked towards the military station.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Zhong returned to the training ground with the brothers who participated in the selection competition at the Ziyun Mountain base. Looking at everyone's frozen white faces, and their trembling bodies looked out of place in the cold wind, Huang Zhong and the others also silently felt distressed in their hearts.
What a good soldier, this is a real warrior. This may be what Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others are thinking at this moment.
After confirming that they all returned to the team, Huang Zhong didn't say some nonsense, and directly announced the disbandment and went back to let everyone have a good rest. After listening to Huang Zhong's words, everyone walked towards the dormitory in groups of three or five, supporting each other.
Shi Qiang is a typical rural person, because he looks different from ordinary people, he is 'tall and big', and he has eaten a lot since he was a child. Later, as I grew older, my height increased dramatically, and the amount of food grew day by day.
In the end, he gradually became a burden to his family, and the harvest of a year's farming was not enough for him to eat alone, so the family thought about it and thought of a way to let him go to the county town to work and live, and he would not be hungry since he was young.
But how difficult it is for a person to work in a part-time job that he is not familiar with, and he almost runs into a wall everywhere. changed a lot of jobs before and after, everyone looked down on him, and almost everyone scolded him for being stupid and big, and he couldn't make himself full of hard work every day.
Some time ago, when they were working together, they heard that Ziyun Mountain was recruiting workers here, and he was full of food, so he happily quit his job and ran to the Ziyun Mountain base. After coming to the base, because he didn't know the words, he wanted to report to the recruitment office, so he lined up in a daze and entered the army by mistake at the recruiting place.
In the following process, he slowly felt that he had found a home, except for listening to the instructor's words and training hard, everything he experienced here was simply heaven for him, so he trained desperately, hoping that he could stay and keep this hard-won job.
In the daily training and trials in the past two days, although it was hard, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Especially in the first competition, he sacrificed his life to break into the top ten, and was commended by Lord Taishou, and he was happy to come back to the dormitory and didn't sleep all night.
In the second competition, he was careful based on the experience and lessons of several groups of competitors in the early stage, and with his unremitting efforts, it took him 48 minutes to cut the stake, and the results were not bad overall.
Last night, when Taishou-sama announced the content of the third selection, many people in front of him were talking about it, and they all said that it was impossible, and he also felt that Taishou-sama might be crazy, how could there be such a selection.
Until now when he returned to the military station, after Commander Huang announced his disbandment, he didn't know how he held on last night, he once thought that he would die in that forest, maybe there were many people who thought like this! Now that the trials are finally over, he reached out and touched his legs and arms, which were still abnormally sore, and smiled helplessly.
Shi Qiang and Jiu Ming supported each other and limped towards the dormitory. When it comes to the person Nine Lives, the name feels a little twisted. Shi Qiang and Jiu Ming didn't want to see anyone else in the dormitory, but Shi Qiang felt that he was very compatible with him since he first met Jiu Ming, so the two became a pair of special good friends.
Listening to Nine Lives, he himself didn't know what his last name was, and he had been wandering for as long as he could remember. Of course, a small point wandered during this period, and the hardships can be imagined. In order to make himself live better, he named himself 'Nine Lives'. Of course, it may also be fate, he won the ninth place in the first selection, and he himself once thought that it was because of his name that he won the ninth place, and then joked with Shi Qiang, telling him: I should have been named 'Yilife' if I knew it.
As soon as the two of them entered the dormitory, a warm current came to their faces, and when they looked carefully at the stove in the room was burned red, they looked at the bed, and the new cotton bedding and cotton clothes and cotton pants were neatly placed on the bed, and a pair of thick leather boots were placed under each bed, and Shi Qiang didn't know how a warm current poured into his heart.
Everyone rushed into the dormitory, and the fire was being baked around the three floors inside and outside the stove, when suddenly they heard a knock on the door. Shi Qiang opened the door and saw that it was the chef who was in charge of cooking for the army, and informed everyone that they could go to the cafeteria to eat in ten minutes.
Seeing that the chef was about to leave after speaking, Shi Qiang hurriedly asked, "Master, let me ask what is the matter with the cotton clothes and bedding on these beds?" ”
"Oh, that's what you say! I may not know if you want to ask something else, but I really know about it. Early this morning, Lord Taishou instructed the logistics staff to change new bedding, cotton clothes and leather boots for everyone. You will all see if there is a shortage of money for a while, and everyone can go to the logistics department to register and reissue. ”
After the cooking master finished speaking, he sighed and said: "If you want to say that our Taishou Lord is also kind-hearted, it is really good to us grassroots, and I don't know when you will come back today, so I ordered the eliminated soldiers to light a fire in each dormitory in the morning." ”
"The fire in your dormitories has never stopped, so I'm afraid you'll catch a cold when you come back. For this reason, there are still a group of people who are collecting dry firewood in the mountains. In order to burn these stoves in the dormitory, we used up a lot of dry firewood during this time. By the way, I almost forgot, Lord Taishou has repeatedly ordered that there must be someone watching the fire at night, and you should discuss it yourself and take turns on duty, otherwise you are afraid that the big guy will be simmered. ”
"Oh, I see, but what is a smoke stew?" Shi Qiang touched his head and didn't know what it meant, and when he saw that everyone was listening with their ears open, he hurriedly asked.
"Alas, I know that, but I also heard from Lord Taishou, which probably means that I am afraid that after the fire is extinguished, there will be a room of smoke to choke everyone."
"Oh, I see, Taishou-sama really cares about us. Okay, we got it, thank you, master. ”
By the time Bai Yang reached the military station, Huang Zhong had already disbanded his team. Bai Yang checked Huang Zhong and the others one by one. Greeted everyone with cold and warmth, and finally made sure that everyone was okay and all came back safely, and then I was relieved.
Tell everyone to go to dinner after taking a break, have nothing to do today, and go to the Taishou Mansion for a meeting tomorrow.
It was already half an hour after coming out of Huang Zhong and the others' dormitory, Bai Yang went to the cafeteria again, and he was very happy to see that everyone had already eaten.
He said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, you are all good. Everyone performed very well in this selection tournament and did not disappoint me. Don't grieve, the eliminated brothers, I will arrange for everyone to go to the logistics work, and usually everyone will not pull down the training. In the future, if there is an expansion of the army, you can still participate, and I think that in the next selection process, through everyone's efforts, you will definitely enter our army. ”
"Today I came to the kitchen to give an order, and in the past two days, we have enough meat pipes, and we are all open to eat. Tomorrow you will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow there will be a ceremony to announce the army to which you belong and the commanders. I'll just say that, so I won't bother you to eat, and we'll see you at the training ground the day after tomorrow. ”
When Bai Yang walked out of the cafeteria, there was deafening applause in the cafeteria, and Bai Yang thought about it and smiled happily.
