54. Questioning
Zhao Xinghua and Luo Guoquan were ushered into a large conference room, surrounded by many screens, showing scenes from other conference rooms. Several of the screens show the video data of the lickers, which should have been taken in other cities, and most of the content is the images of the lickers attacking the human base, and the battles are very fierce and the casualties are heavy. There are many images of heroic warriors tying up explosives in an attempt to die with the licker, only to severely injure it and let it escape. Zhao Xinghua didn't see the combat power of the licker at that time, and now looking at the scrolling screen, he secretly rejoiced, he could only say that he was lucky, the monster was not prepared for the sudden appearance of humans in the corpse group in front of him, and he just wanted to escape, and was picked up by himself.
After the two of them stood in the middle of the podium, from time to time someone asked about the battle situation through the screen screen, when Luo Guoquan said that at least six evolved humans joined the battle, many screens showed that there was a discussion in those meeting rooms, and when it came to using a large-caliber heavy sniper rifle to knock the licker away, more people began to record. In the end, Zhao Xinghua told how he succeeded, and he could feel that many people looked at him without the respect he had before, and he himself was very speechless, thinking that it would be great to fight alone and kill head-on? Luck is also a skill.
There are also many evolved humans in other bases, most of them are civilian evolutionaries, and their physical fitness is significantly higher than that of ordinary people, but most of them have no combat skills, and they don't have the bravery of the bandits that day, so it is difficult to do it without retreating in the case of huge casualties. The military also has many evolutionary people, but it has not strengthened the use of supercooled weapons, and there will be many concerns about hot weapons when fighting in a closed circle, and now all bases and armies are attaching importance to the use of cold weapons, and the development of high-quality cold weapons is also officially included in the agenda.
What made Zhao Xinghua happy was that he saw on the screen that the meeting host of the Nansha base was the lieutenant general of the garrison headquarters, and the other party greeted him kindly.
After nearly an hour of questioning, the two were led separately to another conference room, where there were many people who appeared to be experts and scholars, as well as soldiers in military uniforms like them, and a few people dressed as civilians but all of them looked powerful. The discussion was chaired by a colonel, who introduced the scholars as ordnance researchers and engineers from the 814307 military factory, and several of the officers present were representatives of the special forces of various units in Suishi, and several were civilian martial arts masters. The topic now is to discuss the design of military standard swords and weapons for the whole army, as well as other combat cold weapons. Because the official large-scale bases in China are divided into different regions, face different forms, and have different resources that can be used, when developing combat weapons to cope with the new situation, each base has set up a separate design team to design and produce it according to its own resources and environment, and no longer requires a unified national style.
Everyone involved in the discussion had their own opinions and considerations, and there was a great disagreement on the style of the knife, and it was suggested that the Kaishan knife should be used as a complete chopping knife, which has the advantage of being durable. It is proposed to be designed according to the seedling knife, which can be chopped and stabbed. It was also proposed to use a long-handled machete, which was more powerful. Spears, armor-piercing hammers, maces, and tomahawks are also proposed, which are also deadly threats to zombies. Zhao Xinghua did not actively participate in the discussion, the combat skills he used were not suitable for everyone, and he did not know very well about the equipment of the army soldiers, and he did not even know how much ammunition a soldier could carry on a regular basis, nor did he know how much weight the soldiers could bear. As for his own skills in killing zombies, he can be taught, but the topic of discussion now revolves around the development of weapons.
After nearly four hours of continuous discussion, the final plan compromised and chose the style of the Miao knife, but the length of the original 1.6 meters was shortened to 1.2 meters.
Miao knife is one of the advanced weapons in the era of cold weapons in China. The knife is five feet long, the blade is slender, and it has the characteristics of both knives and guns, and can be used interchangeably with one and two hands, so that it is convenient to exert the overall strength of the waist and back. When the enemy is used, he will toss and turn combos, quickly leap through the calendar, and destroy the knife with the body, and the knife will turn with the person, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the killing power is extremely great. It has always been held by the Royal Forest Army (Qianniuwei, Yulinwei), also known as the Royal Forest Sabre, which is not a knife used by the Miao people, but because of its slender blade and looks like a wheat seedling, it is called a Miao knife. The appearance is similar to that of a Japanese sword, the Miao knife is only slightly curved, closer to a straight edge, while the Japanese knife is a typical scimitar, and the usage is different; The handle of the Miao knife accounts for a relatively large proportion of the whole, and the handle is very thick, so the Miao knife swings like a spear; The Miao knife has a sharp blade and attaches great importance to the use of thorns, and Japanese knives rarely use stabs, and often "chop". The blade is not heavy, it is light to carry, the length is moderate to keep a distance from the zombies, the blade is thinner, and it will not get stuck on the zombie bones during the chopping. Good toughness, convenient for the warrior to polish and maintain by himself, etc., if several warriors raise the knife at the same time to stab forward, there is the effect of a spear.
Once the design plan is set, the material and other details will be decided by professional weapons researchers, and Zhao Xinghua and Luo Guoquan will not continue to participate. The two came out of the conference room and saw that Zhao Jie was already waiting outside, and Zhao Xinghua asked about Ma Jincheng's injuries.
"Don't worry, the rest of the human physique in the end of the world is better than before, this kind of injury is estimated to take a year in the past, and now it doesn't take so long to recover, this time extraterrestrial pathogens are not all bad, we also get some research results that are helpful to human beings, one of which is to improve the human immunity vaccine, the most important result is that no one will be fatal because of wound infection, and the research institutes of other bases have developed reagents that can prolong the life of the human body, but the specific value has not yet been concluded, You can't go wrong with the general direction. Zhao Jie comforted.
"How long is it until a solar storm reaches Earth?" Zhao Xinghua is also afraid of the next natural disaster.
"The optimistic forecast is two months, but it may arrive early, after the catastrophe of the meteorite shower, the impact of solar storms on the earth is now prepared for the worst, and all the countries and organizations of the world are actively preparing for the defense, and at the same time, for the continuation of the human population, the information and results will be shared with each other, there is really an atmosphere of solidarity, and it may be the only cooperation of all mankind across racial and national boundaries so far." Zhao Jie replied.
"How can I hear you say that this natural disaster has turned into a good thing?" Zhao Xinghua doesn't have such a big picture as Zhao Jie.
"Haha, seek happiness in suffering, otherwise what should I do? That's all we can do. Zhao Jie smiled helplessly.
Zhao Xinghua thought of another question, "Is it possible for aquatic creatures to evolve to land?" ”
"Yes, and obviously, but it will take a long time until they fully evolve to take over space with terrestrial creatures, at least for a few years, and then we will either recapture the cities or the human population will be wiped out by zombies and other creatures."
