Chapter 9: Gadgets
How much space is 27 cubic meters? If all of them are converted into the commonly used chestnut rice, it can be about 20 stones; If 20 stone chestnut rice is used as marching food, it can only support the consumption of 200 people in a day, which can be exchanged for 1,000 people...... You can boil some porridge as a snack; If you are carrying weapons, objects under 3 meters, such as the Pak knife, can carry about 500 pieces and are more than 3 meters long...... Let's ignore it!
Zhao Min wanted to cry without tears in the face of the results calculated by his heart. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info also thought that after having the artifact, the army could omit the baggage team and learn to play some frog jumping tactics when marching and fighting! Isn't this a cheat? Zhao Min looked at the ring that appeared in front of him a little foggy, picked up the teacup and took a sip of it. Looking at the tea in front of him, Zhao Min suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't wait to jump up and grab a silk towel, write a few lines on it, and then call a personal attendant and give him a few instructions to bring the silk towel to Shao Qi. After doing this, Zhao Min rubbed his hands a little proudly: "Brother is a traverser, and the advantages of traversers can't be forgotten!" ”
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Zhao Min's heart moved again, and he noticed that a new task had appeared.
Mission Name: Hoe Rape
Duration of the mandate: 10 years
Mission Description: The future is long, and the heart is unpredictable! You need to keep your eyes open and discern between the wicked and the treacherous. Find the mole buried in the team within 10 days.
Reward: 50 points
"Hiss......" Zhao Min gasped!
There are moles! This is something that Zhao Min never expected. There may be many reasons why Lu Xu wants to deal with him, after all, he is now in the Beihai Sea, and there is a great possibility of conflict between them. But how could Lu Xu plant spies around him? You must know that the people you are traveling with, including the Southern Army Huben School, are all the people and horses that you brought out from the Beijing Division, do you mean the 500 county soldiers who guarded it? It's impossible, the system prompt is very clear, it's an 'internal' traitor, and those county soldiers don't even have contact with themselves, so how can they say 'internal' traitor? Could it be that Lu Xu was so powerful that he could have eyes and ears in the Beijing Division, and he was inserted into his team within a few days of departure? That's terrible, isn't it? Thinking of this, Zhao Min only felt a cold sweat on his back.
Realizing that now is not the time to investigate the cause, fortunately, he is about to set off, and it is difficult to contact him during the march, so he must have a better chance of catching the traitor, right? "In that case, let's try it, let's show our powers and see who can have the last laugh!" Zhao Min bit his mouth tightly and said to himself a little fiercely.
Now that the system has made the facts clear, it is useless to think too much, so we have to take one step at a time. Zhao Min gathered his mind and continued to devote his thoughts to the task in his mind.
The second column of the task system, which is labeled "General Tasks", is now grayed out and can now be used, and there are two tasks when they appear:
Quest Name: Searching for the Relic
Duration of the mandate: January
Mission Description: One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs. You have to gather more good people around you. Find a person with the highest stat value of 80 or higher within a month for your use.
Reward: 20 points
……
Mission Name: Try your hand at it
Duration of the mandate: January
Brief description: You already have the foundation for success, but you won't mature without actual grinding! Defeat at least one non-state force of at least 500 men within a month, and the task can be settled at any time.
Reward: 15 points/piece
……
Looking at these two words that emitted this pale green light, Zhao Min felt a faint pain in his gums.
Regarding the identification system that he can check the attributes, Zhao Min has basically figured out the rules of operation. Only when the other party is your subordinate, even if it is a nominal subordinate, can you fully see the full attributes, but for dead things, the system can view regardless of ownership, but it is good not to report what good things can be found. The task requirement of "Searching for the Relics" is to find talents with attributes of no less than 80, and the difficulty of finding them without knowing the attributes of the other party and smearing them with black eyes can be imagined.
As for the second task, "try your hand", Zhao Min was not surprised. As early as when he learned that he could summon famous generals, he had the realization that sooner or later there would be a combat mission. Come to think of it, famous generals, what is the role of famous generals if they don't show their style in the war? However, the system prompt of "defeat at least one" made Zhao Min thoughtful: "Maybe there is a chance to brush points now!" However, speaking of which, there is still a third column in the mission system marked as "special tasks", which is still gray, and the appearance of "regular tasks" will be what "regular tasks" will be?
Shao Qi came back at dinner, and reported that it would take about two days for Zhao Min to prepare the remaining materials, Zhao Min nodded and said that he knew, and did not make any other indications. In this era, the work efficiency is quite low, and being able to raise materials for the long-distance march of more than 500 people in just three days (the 500 people of the county soldiers do not need to be provided by Zhao Min himself) can already show that Shao Qi's ability is outstanding. At present, in the case of not being able to obtain a large number of points to summon famous generals, it is already quite gratifying to have such a loyal and capable subordinate as Shao Qi.
"Looks like this little guy is quite worth cultivating! After all, he's just a teenager under fourteen! Zhao Min touched his chin and thought: "While I have free time, I should also do something to cross the common things!" ”
Early the next morning, Zhao Min took a silk towel full of small characters and handed it to Shao Qi, and even drew some strange patterns on it, asking him to prepare according to the things on the silk towel, and be sure to send it before the time. After the explanation, he took a square step and turned back to the house triumphantly.
By noon, things had already been delivered. The first thing that came was the coarse cloth strips sent by the cloth shop and the tailor, these coarse cloths were about three fingers wide and one zhang long, all of which were sewn together haphazardly with the leftovers of the cloth, and they were loaded with a cart! Zhao Min randomly selected a few and looked at them, expressing that he was basically satisfied, and sent the people away at will, and the person in charge of the specific purchase of things was discussed in detail.
Soon after, there were deliveries again. This time it was some thin charcoal strips, five inches long and one inch thick, tightly clamped into a cylinder with two pieces of cut bamboo, the front end of the charcoal strip exposed about a finger length of the barrel, and the whole barrel body was wrapped with thin twine. This time there are not many things, only a hundred, Zhao Min took one and held it in his hand, and found that he had to use the whole palm to hold it, and he couldn't help sighing, it seems that if he wants to use this homemade "charcoal pen", he can only hold the entire pen holder like an orangutan to write! But this is also no way, if you want to make the pen body thinner, you must have a very fine charcoal strip, with the current charcoal burning technology and grinding process, there is no need to count on it for the time being!
Towards the end of the unitary hour, the third shipment was also delivered. What was sent was five sets of large round wooden barrels, which were actually bathtubs that the eunuchs liked to use. The difference is that a lid has been added to the bathtub, and there is a long copper pipe the thickness of a human head, and a small wooden barrel is attached to the other end of the copper pipe. Along with these five sets of equipment, there are nearly 1,000 catties of light wine purchased from major wine stores, and the carriages and horses that deliver wine are long and lined up outside the courtyard gate! For a while, people shouted and neighed, and it was very lively!
Zhao Min came over and smiled and commanded everyone to move this set of equipment into the courtyard. Needless to say, the role of these devices is for distillation, of course! Zhao Min himself is not a good drinker, but in his previous life, he was in the business field, and he drank a little. He also tasted a little bit of the so-called fine wine of this era, the taste was sour, and there was a faint earthy smell, the taste was not good, and the degree would not exceed 25 degrees at most. But everyone is good at drinking, and the small drama county town can buy nearly 1,000 catties of wine in half a day, which shows how big the demand for wine is!
As for this set of distillation equipment, it is actually not complicated, it is nothing more than two steps of distillation and cooling, and Zhao Min mostly uses ready-made things, so it only takes half a day to prepare for completion. In fact, Zhao Min himself doesn't know what the role of winemaking is, but it seems that everyone likes to make wine! Then prepare a little spare for yourself!
Just after the unitary hour, Shao Qi returned. He told Zhao Min that the last thing left was a little troublesome, not that the materials were difficult to find, after all, Xixian County was the Beihai Governor's Office, with a large population, and it was located in the center of Qingzhou, and its commercial status was very important. However, Zhao Min's demand is very labor-intensive, the key is that skilled craftsmen are not easy to find, Shao Qi worked hard to find one, but it needs to be delivered tomorrow. Zhao Min expressed his understanding of this, so that Shao Qi didn't have to care too much, as long as he could tinker with these gadgets before leaving, he would already be satisfied!
