On other weapons, there were some divisions within the Imperial Army.

One group of people believe that bolt-action rifles, wooden-handled grenades, grenades, and various artillery pieces have crushed all cold weapons for thousands of years, so the use of cold weapons must be completely eliminated if the Imperial Army wants to become stronger.

But old-fashioned people disagree.

And unlike the historical disputes between cold weapons and hot weapons, the officers of this faction within the Ming Dynasty have clearly pointed out that firearms are inadequate against distortions.

Unlike humans, the running speed, vitality, and melee ability of the aberrant have led to the lack of lethality of ordinary individual firearms, and the poor continuity has been magnified many times.

The officers of this platoon believed that in the course of following the 'gods', they would encounter very difficult enemies in the future, and if they were to be fully firearmed, they would lose most of their melee capabilities...... It is possible to suffer a big loss in front of such enemies as the Aberrations.

The two factions argued endlessly, so much so that the lawsuit was finally brought to Roshen.

At this time, Luo Shen has completed three more evolutions in the past five years, adding several abilities that he thinks are very interesting.

For this hot and cold weapons dispute.

The side of Roshen's human memory is, of course, to understand that thermal weapons are the royal road on the original route of Earth civilization.

Perhaps these Ming people, who have just entered the "steam age" because of his seedlings, cannot imagine the aircraft carriers, missiles, and even nuclear weapons of the future world.

In the face of those truly cutting-edge technological weapons, the role of cold weapons is destined to be only a foil.

No matter how much iron armor and swords...... How could it be possible to withstand a nuclear weapon?

If one doesn't work.

That's two.

But......

Part of the information in the memory of the evil god inheritance made Luo Shen temporarily change his mind about completely eliminating cold weapons.

Thereupon.

At the behest of Roshen.

The Ming army eventually adopted a bizarre mix of hot and cold weapons.

Of course, this is not the split configuration of the Ming army in the past, where the musketeer is the musketeer and the knife player is the knife player.

In the preparation.

Ordinary army soldiers are armed with a rifle, 120 bullets, a 95-centimeter chopping bayonet or a 75-centimeter three-edged bayonet.

But after the reform, ordinary soldiers added a vest-type light steel armor to their armament.

For each 1,000 households, 100 households are equipped with a heavy steel armor that can cover 90% of the body area, and the weapons of this 'hoplite' have also been changed from ordinary rifles and bayonets to heavy Miao knives, telescopic long-pole Pu knives, iron bones and heavy throwing spears.

Coupled with one of the reinforced heavy infantry squads equipped with heavy bulletproof shields, this cold weapon configuration was enough to crush any cold weapon unit of the same era.

To know.

These hoplites were not as simple as the ordinary plate armor of Europe.

Because the physical strength of the dependents of the second-generation white worms implanted has been strengthened several times to varying degrees, these soldiers have strength and endurance that ordinary people simply cannot possess even if they do not need to stimulate distortion.

In this case.

Naturally, the armor was thickened several times, and with the more advanced design concepts of the Second World War era and the relationship between steel, these armors weighing more than fifty kilograms were enough to be inferior to the design of small-caliber rifles in key areas.

Even in the most critical chest, it can be lower than the ordinary lead and copper ground rifle bullets.

In the case of weapons, physical strength, and will to fight in an all-round way.

It took the armies of the New Ming Empire a few years to conquer all of Asia, whether it was the Ming Dynasty rebellion, the independence of Jiaozhi, Tibet, or the impending Hamiwei in Xinjiang.

With the spread of railways, neighboring countries in South and East Asia were conquered one after another.

Although the first generation of the Navy's wooden-hulled warships equipped with steam engines had not yet conquered Japan and arrived in the Americas, this result was clearly inevitable.

Seeing that the situation was decided, Luo Shen decided to stop this world for the time being.

Year 1637.

Luo Shen, who has completely changed the development trajectory of the embroidered spring knife world, returned to the ordinary apartment building in the "ghost building community".

……

The eyes are facing each other.

Luo Shen was embarrassed to find that in the process of leaving the modern world, the owner of the apartment he occupied had returned.

The woman in front of him was angrily cleaning up the mountains of empty cans and rice bags in the living room.

Faced with the sudden appearance of ......

No, it should be said that it is like Luo Shen who slowly surfaced from the water and from the "ripples", and the woman's originally angry expression suddenly began to transform into horror......

At the moment when the scream in the throat was about to be issued, a miserable white octopus tentacle suddenly popped out from the ceiling, and circled the woman's head with great speed, entangled the lower half of her face.

【Touch of Chaos】

This is one of the abilities that Luo Shen has evolved during his years of staying in the world of embroidered spring knives.

It's not a great ability.

It's just that Luo Shen created a subspace with a radius of about ten meters around his body, and used a part of his own organization to multiply and grow into many tentacles.

Speaking of which.

The strength of these tentacles at this time is only equivalent to the arms of ordinary humans.

Any sword can cut off this tentacle.

But for a woman, wrestling with such a thick tentacle is obviously impossible. After a moment of frightening struggle, several tentacles of different thicknesses stretched out...... The woman who completely lost her resistance was suffocated to death by her tentacles in front of Luo Shen like this.

The slippery tentacles let go of the woman's corpse, allowing it to fall between the waste cardboard box and a few bags of canned food on the ground.

"It seems that we can't stay here, throw these things away, and leave tonight." Luo Shen muttered to himself.

……

Night falls.

In the dark and cluttered living room, the phone rings abruptly, and the light of the lit screen illuminates a small darkness around it.

The caller ID says "dear".

The phone rang for a long time before it finally subsided.

Soon after, however, the phone's screen lit up again, and the melodious ringtone still echoed in the empty living room...... No one answered.

A few hours later.

A man with hurried steps, beads of sweat on his nose, came out of the elevator door and used the key to open the security door of the house.

The brief groping in the darkness and the sorrow after the lights came on unsurprisingly happened.

It's only a few days away.

Several police cars and ambulances once again burst into the neighborhood to the sound of screeching horns.

People are busy, searching, thinking......

The abundance of empty rice bags and cans on the living room floor that did not belong to the head of the household is a huge suspicion, but even the most experienced police officers have not figured out what the reason is.

It was only in the subsequent investigation that traced back to the supplier that the police once again saw the image of a white-haired, blue-eyed, delicate-faced child.
