Chapter 335: Slave Camp (1)
Although Chen Yi said that he wanted to see the rubber forest in person, he only glanced at the side of the road when he was passing by, and found that there were indeed rubber trees, and then used the perception scroll to probe it, and felt that it was almost the same, so he put down Sun Ruihe and asked him to investigate. [No pop-up novel network]
Judging the agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry data of an area is the most basic reconnaissance content of the scouts, and Major Sun Ruihe only needs to ask some experts for some information, and can independently complete the judgment and determine whether the tens of thousands of hectares of rubber forests in the west of the city are true, what is the density, and whether the species are consistent...... If you don't have enough to take pictures and videos, you can take them back.
Da Yang looked at Sun Ruihe like a dexterous wild leopard, disappearing into the vast forest sea, and couldn't help but worry: "Will he ...... Run away? β
"60 kilometers of forbidden circle." Yun 13 reminded him. It was only 10 kilometers when he was allowed to go out, and every now and then he would run into obstacles.
Da Yang shyly hid back in the carriage, like a young man who had been stripped nakedβthere were too many mistakes today.
The carriage gurgled and bumped like a 60-mile bus. But in fact, Chen Yi's speed relative to the earth is only 15 kilometers, and those black brothers who are chasing adoption in Africa are faster than horse-drawn carriages.
"Transportation is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Chen Yi fell asleep in a daze, and in his dreams he saw the high-grade highway that surrounded the city of Mara, and he saw his artillery brothers with their bare shoulders, working on 150 mm heavy guns, next to towing trucks and heavy trucks loaded with tons of ammunition...... He saw the tanks hidden in the hollows, their thick black barrels exposed, aiming at the chrysanthemum sign on the city gate...... He saw armoured personnel carriers pass through the ring road and occupy all the city's commanding heights......
"Master Chen, we're here." Yun 13 woke up Chen Yi softly, and quickly handed over a warm mΓ‘o towel on the soup woman, as well as a cup of crystal clear Sri Lankan fragrant black tea that had just been brewed.
Yinmori Yong stared at the beautiful crystal cup curiously, but glanced at the black tea like blood in disgust and said, "I'll go down and have a look first, maybe there are people I know." β
He wears heavy makeup himself, but he is no worse than the post-90s, and he is not worried about being recognized at all.
Chen Yi wiped his face vigorously, then slowly drank the black tea before stepping down from the carriage. Yun 13 had already put the horse on the ground and smoothed the ground with a small shovel he carried with him to prevent the master from falling on his head.
If it were according to the rules of the Western Continent, he should actually kneel on the ground and expose his back - because the elasticity of his back is better, the servants who are familiar with this work will know whether the master prefers a stiffer backbone or a softer one, or can change freely according to the softness and hardness of his legs and feet today, so that every foot of the master's family can be stepped on comfortably and at ease.
Nowadays, it is difficult for the entertainment industry to develop to such an extent.
Liberalism of all evils.
Of course, the real reason why Chen Yi refused to do so was suggested by Yin Sen Yong - this gentleman had to suggest that Chen Yi use Mazazi instead of Yun Thirteen's small back in order to continue to have his unfortunate belief in "mercy" after becoming a magic knight in his lifetime.
So Chen Yi was as good as a stream. He is a paladin, does he have to step on people's backs to stand firmly?
When I got out of the car, it was a little shaky......
"I've been bleeding a lot lately." Chen Yi shook his head. He also went to the hospital for a blood transfusion. But when it was infused to 1000CC, the doctor said that he didn't dare to issue a bill, so Chen Yi, who had lost at least 1600 ml of high-quality blood, had to give up.
In fact, it is a common occurrence for people who are related to go to the hospital for blood transfusions. Whether it is to increase endurance for exercise, or to solve the sub-health state, or to obtain nutrition - compared with the various nutrients on the market, blood is the most comprehensive nutrition, it can replenish blood cell protein and other disease-resistant substances, improve the activity of the heart and blood vessels, regulate blood osmotic pressure, so that the osmotic pressure between tissues in the body remains normal, ensure the normal exchange of water and other substances inside and outside the cell, and carry out metabolism. The most interesting thing is that blood transfusion can stimulate the liver, spleen, bone marrow and other blood systems, make their functions active, speed up the speed of hematopoiesis, activate the hematopoietic system, and this stimulating effect can last for more than two weeks - of course, according to the hospital and the Red Cross, blood donation seems to have the same function, but whether it is more valuable to give or more valuable, presumably anyone can judge. However, blood transfusions for nutrition are not suitable for everyone, especially the general population, and autologous blood transfusions are usually administered. Because there are 10 blood group systems in blood, containing a variety of components of lop, and the hospital can only do the blood group, white blood cell blood group and serum antibody of the ABO system and RH system for cost and probability considerations, so even if the blood type and blood match are consistent, the blood of the donor and the recipient cannot be 100% matched. As a result, repeated blood transfusions produce "incomplete antibodies...... But for non-ordinary people, it is not difficult to ask the hospital to make some corresponding adjustments.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yi used too much blood, the doctor was worried that something would go wrong, and he should have replenished 4000 or even 6000cc of blood so that his body could recover as before.
After walking a few steps on the ground, Chen Yi felt that he had stepped steadily, so he asked, "Ahead, is the slave camp in the west of the city?" β
It was not the humble slave camp he had imagined, with towering gates and towers, and heavy log gates wide open, like an undefended town.
"They call it the 14th Light Infantry Battalion." Yun 13 whispered: "There are not only people like us inside, but also people with black sΓ¨, red sΓ¨, and green skin. β
"There are also people with green skin," Chen Yi asked in surprise.
Yun 13 couldn't name him, and he also heard the merchants talk about it: "It's like a man like a beast......"
"Orcs?"
"Half-orc, half-orc."
Chen Yi shrugged, for him, non-humans are always more difficult to deal with. Through the First and Second World Wars, as well as the Cold War, which did not start out, mankind has studied its own war damage relatively thoroughly, and the design of various weapons and equipment is also based on this. For example, the reason why the small-caliber 5.56mm bullet is more popular than the 7.62mm is because of its good stationary effect, and the bullet with high muzzle velocity will be more likely to roll over and cause large damage when a shot jumps up, without causing the result of piercing two holes in one hole.
But if the orc's skin is twice as thick, his muscles are three times harder, and he has two hearts or something, he is equivalent to wearing a layer of body armor. The flaw of the 5.56mm bullet's lack of power will be exposed, and if it can't be penetrated, no matter how beautiful the flip is, it won't score. In this case, a small-caliber rifle may be withdrawn from the field sequence like a submachine gun, and similarly, if an alien has skin or armor similar to the strength of ceramic body armor, the intermediate power bullet must also be withdrawn.
"Fortunately, the enemy is human." Chen Yi, of course, wants to use existing, time-tested and mature weapons.
Isamu Ginmori walked out of the gate and whispered, "There are a few officers I have seen in Mara City, and they are all sons of the Jazz family. It's kind of weird. β
The slave army is pure cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it stands to reason that the children of the nobility should avoid it.
"At least it's better to work here than in the city." Chen Yi smiled and pointed to the ground. It is also paved with stone slabs, with neither sewage nor feces, and it is as clean as a city square.
He pointed to the sturdy houses made of stone and brick in front of him and said, "If I didn't know, I would have thought that this was a city and that Mara was a slave camp." β
"Here we are, not to mention slaves." An officer appeared in front of Chen Yi with a smile and said, "Everyone here is a member of the 14th Light Infantry Battalion. β
"So are we?" Chen Yi smiled faintly, the other party was a mid-level officer with a non-fighting skill level, and it was likely that he was from a noble background.
"You are also the guests of honor of the 14th Light Infantry Battalion." The VIP used by the officer was a word that ordinary people would not use, but his attitude was much better than that of the nobles in the city, and he asked with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you?" β
It seems that things are easier than you think. Chen Yi looked at the row in front of him, neatly like school freshmen signing up for office officials and businessmen who came to do business, and asked, "Do you provide any help business?" β
The officer's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It seems that you are coming to the 14th Battalion for the first time, I am Marduk, a knight from Mara City, and a teaching officer of the 14th Battalion." β
"Teaching officers?"
"Oh, don't worry about that, it's just a title." "My job is to fulfill the wishes of the believers from the temples of the Mara city-state," said Marduk with a smile. β
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and tentatively handed out a small bag of iron money.
40 iron coins, equivalent to 4 copper coins, is a month's income for a heavy infantryman.
Marduk skillfully tossed and turned, and when he received it in his sleeve, he said loudly: "40 iron coins can hire a slave for 100 working days." β
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said, "People often hire slaves from you?" β
Marduk looked at him with a very fresh look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Mara City will provide 200,000 slaves to the temple a year, these people will be sent to the battlefield, and it is good to be able to come back alive, why do you think we have raised them for more than a year?" β
The food in the Western Continent is cheap, and it only costs 10 copper coins to raise 100 slaves for a month, which is only equivalent to the salary of 2 heavy infantrymen, and saves the cost of rewards and equipment repair and damage during the war, and it is incomparable with those large cavalry weighing dozens of tons.
But even so, 200,000 slaves are raised for 20,000 copper coins a month, and 240,000 for one side. If you add to this the loss of slaves, which is bound to happen, you have to add another 10.
In fact, the real lion's share is the corruption of officials. But in any case, if 200,000 people are allowed to eat and drink for nothing, normal officials will not be reconciled, just like banks will not watch the money moldy, hire people out, it is safe and simple, and it has long been secretly running.
It's just that Mara City is more blatant and formal.
If you look at the row of tables in front of you that look like a modern government hall or a bank counter, you can see that the development of people is very advanced.
"What is the maximum number of slaves you can hire?" Chen Yi couldn't help asking.
