Chapter 22: Expansion of the Army
After dealing with the establishment of the town's personnel, Lin Xiao was relieved, although his set was simple, it was enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the next few days, Lin Xiao basically exercised in the training room, which was not to say that he was diligent, but that the town was too boring.
Even if there are no entertainment facilities, there is not even food, and the insect meat that tastes good in the eyes of the clones is also average for him.
The red fruit tastes like glutinous rice, and I start to think that the taste is not bad, and it is like that after eating too much, there is no salt.
He also tried to make wine with red fruits, which tasted average, but was still popular among soldiers.
As a modern person, Lin Xiao couldn't adapt to this kind of life at first, and now he has accepted it silently.
That doesn't mean he won't resist.,As an amateur book artist.,Nothing to draw can make him very fulfilling.。
However, even if the workers could make paper, they could not do the paint, so they had to give up.
Lin Xiao exercised almost completely, walked out of the exercise room, and saw chocolate curled up on the sofa at a glance, sleeping lazily.
Chocolate didn't bother much, he ate and slept and ate, and he was much more comfortable than him.
His gaze fell on the soft body of chocolate, and Lin Xiao suddenly had some evil thoughts, but they quickly threw them out of his mind.
Although he likes the cat lady very much, it has to be fateful, and the shadow of the last bite makes him feel a faint pain now.
Out of sight and out of mind, he withdrew his gaze and went outside to find something to do.
At this time, two workers hurriedly ran over from the bushes to the west, holding many plants in their hands that they had never seen before.
"Report Captain, we didn't find the plant you described, but we found a similar plant." The worker respectfully said.
"Something like that?" Lin Xiao asked.
"That's right, I planted this round-leaved grass with my hands, and it tasted spicy."
Lin Xiao is not very interested in spicy taste, and it is acceptable as a seasoning, and he is almost uncomfortable to death when he eats food without salt these days.
After scanning the non-toxic, he tried to eat a bite, it was really spicy, and it could completely replace the chili pepper, and it was a veritable spicy dish.
In addition, the workers also found mushrooms, Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "You two won't eat it, right?" ”
"Captain, is there a problem?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he quickly scanned it, and after making sure that it was non-toxic, he breathed a sigh of relief and reprimanded these two people, he couldn't try to eat indiscriminately in the future, he didn't want to kill one of his subordinates inexplicably.
These two plants were also a big harvest, and he immediately sent people to transplant spicy vegetables and mushrooms for large-scale planting.
It will take a while to plant, but fortunately, there are a lot of these two kinds of plants, and Lin Xiao can finally improve his diet.
What made him even happier was that the weather was overcast and there was about to rain, which finally reassured him that it was finally going to rain these days.
The rain did not fall lightly, but it stopped in a few minutes, and the workers who were sheltering from the rain under the wooden huts cheered directly, apparently they did not like the rain.
Lin Xiao frowned, the scout he sent out to keep an eye on the beetle monster in the north had already returned, and told him about the beetle's movements.
Judging by the current trend, it seems that these beetles are migrating, which is not good news for him.
Lin Xiao became serious and ordered the scout to stare at the beetle monster, but not to alarm the other party, as soon as there was an abnormality, it would be like he reported it.
He only went to check on the progress of the scout after seeing it leave, and now that the walls were halfway complete, it was easy for the beetle monsters to break in from the unfinished parts.
If he starts a war with the beetle, the battlefield must not be fixed here, otherwise even if he wins, there is a great chance of heavy losses.
To the north is a five-kilometer plain, with mountains on both sides, which is very suitable as a battlefield, and is beneficial to both Lin Xiao and the beetle.
If there was a war with the beetle, it would be best to settle in this place, but Lin Xiao didn't want the beetle monster to have such a good time.
He directly transferred half of the manpower to build the city wall to build fortifications, originally not wanting to waste manpower and material resources, but now he can't afford to lose a big one because of a small one.
Anyway, this place is not very wide, and a wall can be repaired in 7 days, and the simplified construction is shortened to 1 day.
After giving this order, Lin Xiao went to the blacksmith workshop to check the current reserves of weapons and equipment.
"What, only 100 steel knives have been forged in such a long time?" Lin Xiao said coldly.
"Captain, we've really wronged us." The captain of the workers said cautiously: "You gave us an order to forge 500 brick cutting knives and various tools, and there is only so much iron......
"Alright, alright." Lin Xiao interrupted, he sighed, and didn't blame the worker captain again.
The number of weapons did not meet his requirements, and the convenient reserves of armor exceeded the requirements, especially leather armor.
His request was 300 sets, and 500 sets have been built so far, and 100 sets of armor are also in the end.
What's more, the creation of heavy crossbows, 30 have been created so far, this is not because the workers are not working, the production of crossbows is much more than other weapons.
The crossbowmen don't need many energy points, only 10 points, which is the same as the power points required by the cannon fodder class.
People are easy to get, but crossbows are not easy to make, and at present, Lin Xiao can't use crossbowmen as cannon fodder.
In addition to consuming less energy points, the crossbowmen still have a very advantage, Lin Xiao tested it with the first heavy crossbow, which can submerge two-thirds of the arrows into the shell of the beetle, and the short bow can at most submerge the arrows into the arrow.
This is only the power of a heavy crossbow, a light crossbow is on par with a short bow, but it is made three times faster than a heavy crossbow.
The longbow was equipped with a long-armed strong bow that was as powerful as a heavy crossbow, and Lin Xiao shot an arrow that passed directly through the beetle's shell.
This is due to his great strength, the actual power of the longbow should be about the same as that of the heavy crossbow, the rate of fire between the two is very different, the heavy crossbow can shoot 3 arrows a minute, and the long-armed strong bow can shoot 6 arrows.
This also shows the value of longbowmen, who cost 30 energy alone.
Crossbowmen are cheap, but the production speed of heavy crossbows is slow, which can't stop Lin Xiao's idea of manufacturing, you must know that he now only has a red laser pistol that can easily break through the shell of the beetle, and even the steel knife can only be slashed into a small part, like this powerful weapon he needs very much.
In addition, the more powerful city-guarding crossbow is also under construction, and it takes a long time to occupy a lathe to make a city-guarding crossbow, Lin Xiao has not seen the power, and he only ordered the construction of two, and it will take a few days to complete it.
In order to resist the beetle monster, Lin Xiao didn't just do this, he also built two catapults, which can be completed tomorrow.
After Lin Xiao checked the finished workshop, he returned to the colonial warship and began to clone human soldiers.
He directly increased the number of sword and shield soldiers that he used very easily to 200 people, and it took him one night to complete it, as the main force, and directly equip them with steel knives and armor.
He also clone 30 crossbowmen, and there were too many people to equip them with crossbows.
The longbow soldier Lin Xiao didn't clone, it was too expensive, and he already had crossbowmen, so why spend this unjust money.
He directly increased the number of shortbowmen to 100, which could form a slightly larger rain of arrows, and a large number of them would be very deadly.
As the cheapest cannon fodder, the pikemen have also increased to 400 people, spending a total of nearly 9,000 energy points, leaving less than 1,000 points as backup.
