The welcome of the Tang civilians to Lao Luo is, in the final analysis, a rebellion against the local backwater situation, an anger at the inaction of the clan elders, and an expectation for returning to their homeland. Although their current bloodline is not purely Han Chinese, they have never broken the inheritance of oriental culture for 200 years.

Lao Luo naturally knew this, otherwise he would not have left the elder layer to directly recruit warriors and craftsmen.

For Lao Luo, wealth is not important, land is not important, only people are the most important, people who speak the same language, can obey and follow him are important. With people, as for the rest, it doesn't matter, it's at your fingertips.

So even if he started to cooperate with the Tang Battalion, he never got involved in the entanglement between several big families, he only cared about two, the soldiers and craftsmen he recruited, and the logistics on the eastbound road.

In addition to the recruit camp, every day Lao Luo must check the progress of the joint workshop, here to summarize and make all the equipment needed on the eastbound road, the preparation of the eastbound road is all designed according to the plan of the marching style, so people and armaments are in the same position, and the two items of partial van and floating car are the top priority.

In order to make these two objects, the old man Li Tan specially appointed Dunne and Li Ne to be in charge of this matter.

The commoner elder Du Ne gave full play to his influence, mobilized a large number of blacksmiths and carpenters, and even recruited many women to sew airbags for floating cars, as well as weaving leather ropes to fix the lasso, this is a delicate job, fortunately, the husbands of local women are mostly craftsmen, and they are naturally more influenced by the family, not just the little women around the pot and housework, but very versatile, what cattle herding and horse herding and driving sets and so on are not a problem, At least a few dozen women working together to sew a skin twenty meters in diameter is a trivial matter.

The skin, which is the thickness of a child's arm, is a simple thing to get home, and something that is thicker than a horsewhip, but it takes a little more effort.

At the same time, the production of the body, the carpenters chose a large piece of red pine to make, there is no rivet in the whole body, all are tenon structures, with specially boiled viscose, this kind of three meters wide and six meters long guy is at most five or six hundred pounds, as long as the lift is enough, it is really easy to ride ten or twenty people on it.

The most critical and most difficult thing is the production of fuel pools, in this era it is impossible to make high-pressure gas cylinders for later generations, so thirty or forty plans are carried out at the same time, and after five days of screening, several methods that can be developed are determined, and then samples are produced, each of which needs to be constantly debugged and tested, and finally a complex but feasible plan is selected. Although the Tang craftsmen are not as good as the scientists of later generations, they are by no means the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty who are not well fed and clothed in the history books, but because there is no so-called literati "strange skills and ingenuity" The concept of suppression and more focused, secretly Lao Luo often sighs that he has picked up a treasure, their thinking is very keen, and they can often come up with a solution with just a hint, although they have no theory, but when it comes to hands-on ability and familiarity with materials, they are definitely not inferior to blacksmiths and carpenters in later generations.

With the cooperation of many craftsmen, in just twelve days, something similar to a kerosene stove was made, the diameter of the stove or jar is about one meter, the whole is made of iron sheets, in the words of the blacksmith, this thing is more troublesome than making a urinal, the airtight position of the key is made of very ancient lead and tin heating and welding techniques, the closed valve and the structure of the modulation of the fire are also very simple, and the structure of the iron spiral is not a difficult job.

The choice of fuel was directly based on Lao Luo's advice, or the work of blacksmiths and metalsmiths, to make a simple still, the early oil in Baku was light oil, very good quality, and it was very simple to collect a mixture of gasoline and diesel and kerosene.

On the day of the test, everyone who participated in the busy people went to the workshop to watch, the simple oil stove was lit for only 30 minutes, and the airbag was inflated, and when the airbag dragged the car body upright, because the safety rope was forgotten to be installed, and the counterweight was not placed in the car body, more than 30 people barely pulled this thing, otherwise it is likely that the first test car will be taken to the air and float away.

The people who watched were happily calling out the miracle, and the old man Li Tan was even more smiling, it would take thirty people to hold the airbag and not fly away, so wouldn't it be possible to take at least twenty people? It's time to go home, yes, for those present, that land in the East is where their home should be.

Lao Luo didn't feel anything, and even when Li Nie asked next to him, he had a noncommittal expression, in his opinion, these things are still very rough, and the details need to be constantly improved, such as the fireproof position needs to be strengthened, the lasso that fixes the balloon needs to be adjusted, the bolt at the position of the car body should consider the metal hook or collar, the fixed structure of the fuel pool and the balloon needs to be adjusted, and there needs to be a windproof setting next to it......

Of course, the fuel pool is that kerosene stove-like thing, you can do more when you go back, and then use it as fuel in some places where it is inconvenient to find firewood, well, and Baku, which is rich in oil, and you need to collect more when you go back, and it is not so easy to find oil deposits in the East.

The following day, a prototype of something like a van was completed.

As designed by Lao Luo, the cast iron keel wheels with a width of about 20 centimeters, the leaf spring shock absorption structure, and the pallet steering device - these structures are the most critical structures of the partial van car, and the time wasted is mainly consumed on this, as well as the iron keel and the hardwood carriage, the huge body feels like half a freight train car in later generations, and there are metal thorns of different lengths on the side box plates, you can imagine the tragic situation when the steppe cavalry charged to the box and crashed on it, The side panels have wrist-thick holes in the top of the side plates, which are used for archery or protruding spears. At the tail end is a hook in the form of a metal buckle, which is used to connect the box in wartime, and if necessary, up to six vehicles can be used to form a ring fortress.

The joint workshop is not the only two things, in addition to these, there are also some weapons and armor that Lao Luo is mainly concerned about, including the spear of the infantry guarding the side car, the all-metal iris shield equipped with defensive troops, a bow and crossbow that can be wound quickly, the spear used by the cavalry, the scimitar, and all kinds of bits and pieces of special weapons, such as spears, axes, thistles (four-legged nails) and countless arrows, don't underestimate these things, all cold weapons are considered consumables, You can't expect all the soldiers to be able to carry an iron knife from the coast of Magyar all the way to the Yellow River Valley, because the collision of knives and guns will inevitably lead to losses, so on average, it is normal for each soldier to spend three to five weapons on the road.

The production of armor is also very critical, there is no stamping equipment, and it is too troublesome to make plate armor, so Lao Luo did not come up with any new ideas, so the production here is still Tang-style Wenshan armor and Mingguang armor, as well as some Western-style chain mail and leather armor, which will also be distributed according to the different types of troops.

Generally speaking, they are all going on in an orderly manner according to the schedule as Lao Luo and Great Elder Li Tan said, and Lao Luo will pay attention to the affairs of the workshop every day, and he also knows the bottom of his heart.

He doesn't have to worry about the rest of the trivial matters, the city guards led by Cheng Shouru are currently training, Lao Luo has been to see it a few times, these Tang men who lost in the competition are shameful and brave, and they are sweating every day to train. Lao Cheng is really good, he is a man who can afford to lose, and he is not annoyed with Lao Luo because of failure, but often discusses some military training matters, Lao Luo plans for them to be the guards of the partial van, which is also just like their original military arrangement, I believe that when the time comes, the infantry spear more than six meters long can give the grassland tribes along the way a little color.

As for Lao Luo's recruits, they will be arranged as cavalry infantry, and the better ones will be trained as cavalry. It is estimated that there will be a lot of variables along the way, and Lao Luo does not dare to say that he has calculated everything in place, but he has the spiritual power that is growing all the time as a golden finger, and the telescope, an "artifact" that transcends the times, to explore the way, and it is no problem to avoid the confrontation of the enemy in the brigade.

After checking the progress of the joint workshop, Lao Luo returned to the camp, Li Ji was training with the children in the orphanage camp, and Ms. Analia was pointing out that these children would be the future inheritors of some of Lao Luo's ideas.

"Third brother, are you done with today's business?" Li Ji's face was flushed, with the excitement of playing with the children.

"Almost. Siniang, how are the children? Are there any mischievous ones? Lao Luo stared at the children running around the field, they were probably doing a kind of confrontation game similar to a treasure hunt.

"They are all good, but they are not naughty, a few of them are very good, like Luo Jiachen and Luo Jiawu are very smart, although Luo Jiazi doesn't like to talk, but there are a lot of sullen ghost eyes, and he will be a resourceful talent in the future, Luo Jianiu is a little reckless, but his courage is commendable, but he is very similar to the black guy in Naga...... Some of them are young, and they can't be seen for sure, but they are all very clever little guys. Li Ji counted everyone's strengths one by one, and now she and Ms. Analia accompany the children all day long, but they have a bit of a good wife.

At least that's how Lao Luo feels, "Siniang, you ......"

"What's wrong with me, third brother?" Li Ji looked at Lao Luo's expression and asked a little strangely.

"It feels like it's my wife!" There is nothing bad to say, Lao Luo is not a thin-skinned man, and he directly pointed out his words like a cannonball.

"The third brother is so thick-skinned, he hasn't gone to propose to his grandfather yet, so he dares to say that!" Li Ji's face flushed, she would not be speechless in shame, but directly aimed at the big man in front of her.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Du Lao to be the old man, okay to propose to your grandfather?" Lao Luo also put his heart down, he can't do without this era in a short time, so it's good to be safe.

"Then it's up to you, I didn't say I had to marry you!" Li Ji was still shy in the end, and said to her face that her marriage was not a performance of a daughter's family, so she turned her head and ran to her teacher, Ms. Analia.

Lao Luo smirked twice, and just when he wanted to go over, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Master, there is some abnormal movement on the Georgian side." ”
