Chapter 27: When the book is used, there is less hatred

In the dead of night, Chen Xian also thought that if he continued to flicker like this, he might really be able to make a world, after all, these things he said, although they were messy and plausible, but after all, most of them were things that had been tested in practice, far stronger than the White Lotus Sect, Hong Xiuquan and the like.

Every time he thought of this, Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh, not that he didn't want to, but it was really ...... I don't read much!

What is democracy? He knows, what is the rule of law, he knows, what is the law? He also knows, what is the economy? …… It seems to know, what is politics? Seems to know, how to operate? He really doesn't know about this!

You let Chen Xian brag and deceive these teenagers who are like blank papers, no problem! You really want him to build a modern social system on the basis of a blank slate...... He didn't know how to open it! In fact, even in modern times, I don't know if anyone can know this, modern society is too complicated.

In addition to the lack of knowledge, another reason why Chen Xian was reluctant to think too far was the nightmare existence of "Genghis Khan" and his "Mongol Empire".

Chen Xian is a history buff, and he also likes to read some novels that travel through history, and every time he sees someone traveling to ancient times and casually building a lathe, he can't help but want to curse.

Build a lathe? Can you make a screw for me first? Lead screws, shafts, bearings, guide rails, you make them for me!

You say let the blacksmith knock? I TM......

Technology, drawings or something is not actually a problem, the problem lies in the process, simple lathe drawings, Chen Xian himself can draw it, he has dismantled the lathe many times, the principle is not complicated, but even if you have drawings, to build a lathe in the Song Dynasty, it is simply impossible, the reason is very simple, there is no technological means.

Nowadays, when people talk about technology, they often think that it is not as lofty as technology or design, but in fact, process is far more complex than design.

The improvement of technological means is often accompanied by revolutionary technological improvement.

Take the simplest steel plate cutting process as an example, from the purely mechanical shearing machine, to the CNC plasma cutting machine, so that the cutting process is simplified I don't know how much, to the recent CNC laser cutting blanking, and even has been able to partially replace the mold, drilling machine, milling machine and a series of process means, so that the process that usually requires five or six steps of process to achieve can be completed in one step, sometimes it can save expensive mold costs, so that the trial production of products becomes simpler, as for the epoch-making significance of more advanced 3D printing technology, Not to mention.

That's process progress!

Design and invention may have a flash of inspiration, but progress in craftsmanship can only be one step at a time.

It took hundreds of years for Westerners to accumulate craftsmanship from manual blacksmiths to the most primitive bicycle lathes, and then accumulated to modern lathes, and it took more than 100 years, during which there were many skilled craftsmen and excellent engineers.

If you're an insider, you know that it's a big joke.

As an engineer and part-time ancient war enthusiast, Chen Xian knew very well that with the level of craftsmanship of this era, he could at most hammer out an arquebus and cast a front-loading cannon or something.

But the problem is that the people of the Ming Dynasty had arquebuses and front-loading cannons, but they were not beaten all over the ground by the Houjin Eight Banners that used cold weapons!

Chen Xian, who is very familiar with ancient military history, understands very well that before weapons are advanced to a certain extent, the victory or defeat of a war mainly depends on people.

In this day and age, weapons can add points to the odds, but they can't determine victory or defeat.

As an online military strategist, Chen Xian also understands that if he can build a modern army similar to the Spanish phalanx, he may not be able to compete with the Mongolian iron cavalry, but the premise is that he needs well-trained and brave soldiers, wise, resolute and loyal generals, as well as a stable rear and strong economic backing......

If you just hand over the arquebus and the front-loading cannon to a group of peasants, none of them can beat them......

Even if he is really allowed to build a modern army similar to the Spanish phalanx, Chen Xian, as an amateur ancient military enthusiast, can he play a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan and the group of generals under him who grew up in the war?

Anyway, Chen Xian himself doesn't have even the slightest bit of confidence.

It is precisely because he understands how difficult this seemingly simple thing is that Chen Xian does not want to think about it, and he does not dare to think about it.

The purpose of his fooling this group of teenagers was only to set sail one day, and to have a group of followers to go with him to some island that the Mongols disdained, to build a real paradise, to earn a life for himself, and that's it.

After the acceptance of the confrontation exercise, Chen Xian lowered the intensity of formation training and strengthened the intensity of some targeted training.

As a modern person, Chen Xian understands the importance of contingency plans and targeted training.

When there is an emergency, there is a plan and no plan, targeted training and no targeted training, and the results obtained are often very different.

At the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Israeli Olympic team was kidnapped, and the German police carried out a terrible rescue operation, resulting in the death of 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team.

In fact, it is not that the German police are really bad, but because before this hostage incident, this kind of terrorist act was not common, and the German police at that time had no experience in dealing with similar incidents, nor did they conduct targeted training, and the result was that in the operation, these police behaved in a very unfounded and amateurish manner.

In the aftermath of this incident, countries have set up special police units to deal with such urban terrorist attacks.

This kind of SWAT unit, which is specially designed to respond to urban terrorist attacks, will do various targeted rehearsals and training for similar incidents.

These targeted special anti-terrorist units, with their extremely high efficiency and success rate in dealing with events like Munich, have left many miracles in history.

Compared with the German police in 1972, these special police units were the real professionals.

Chen Xian armed these apprentices, the main purpose was to protect himself, and of course he had to do targeted training for the apprentices in this regard.

Before, his main focus was on the basic training of these teenagers, after all, the foundation was not good, and the targeted training would lose its meaning.

Therefore, the previous targeted emergency response training stayed on the emergency assembly training.

Every few days, Chen Xian would blow an emergency assembly whistle in the middle of the night from time to time, requiring the teenagers to get dressed and bring weapons within a certain period of time, and complete the formation in the courtyard.

Chen Xian's requirements for emergency assembly are very high, and any apprentice who fails to complete the assembly within the specified time will be severely punished, including lowering the standard of food for the next day, whipping, etc.
