Chapter 400: Taking in children
Well, Renault touched his chin helplessly, and the means of dealing with the earth immortals were mainly concentrated in the ten gates of the underground passage and the two buildings of the dead house.
After all, the construction time of Shengong City is not long, and the accumulation is not enough, these two building complexes have consumed too much manpower and material resources, and a dead house alone has consumed hundreds of millions of catties of alloy, which is alloy, not ordinary fine iron.
Of course, if you want to rebuild, you don't need to be so troublesome, the materials of the dead house are not much wasted, just deformed or turned into molten iron, and then condensed, find out these materials, and re-smelt them, what is needed is only time and labor, which will save a lot of costs.
But some of it was still consumed, and the alloy wall dozens of meters long inexplicably entered Lan Wu's stomach, and I am afraid that it will never be recovered.
Renault couldn't figure it out, Lan Wu, who was not big, where did he 'eat' those alloys, it was as incredible as a baby eating a cow, eating so much, you ......
Doubt?
Lan Wu moved, and after the three of them left, it hesitated whether to follow and take a look, or wait here, in the end, the alloy was more attractive to it, this guy obviously didn't eat enough, this is not good, Renault is not short of iron ore, and refining is very easy, except for labor, there is not much cost.
But the alloy is more troublesome, first to smelt the fine iron, and then add a variety of different metals in proportion, and smelt again to form an alloy. Relatively speaking, it is much more troublesome than directly refining refined iron, you have eaten so much, and you still come?
"The temperature down below has dropped, send the musketeers down to keep watch. Renault said, in fact, it should be Song Zhe who should take action at this time, but Renault has a strong sense of vigilance against Lan Wu, and he is reluctant to send Song Zhe down, in case he is injured by Lan Wu, it will not be good.
"Yes, send the musketeers to guard at once. "Huya still thinks that Mr. is worried about the three mysterious earth immortals underground, but he can send the musketeers down, isn't it to send them to death?
The musketeers trained in Shengong City are all innocent and strong ordinary people, and until the team is at this level, it will be served by a martial artist.
There's no way, don't look at the high proportion of martial artists in Shengong City, but the air force needs a large number of martial artists, and low-level martial artists are not enough, if you want to control the aircraft freely, you need at least five or more martial artists.
Therefore, most of the middle and low-level officers are held by martial artists below the fifth rank. Fortunately, the musketeers are different from the cavalry of Da Chu, they do not rely on force to eat, and under the musket array, even the martial artists at the peak of the nine grades are not much stronger than ordinary warriors, and the difference may be one shot down, or two shots.
As long as the martial artist does not reach the level of the grandmaster, if you want to dodge the projectile, there is still a certain degree of difficulty, you can only rely on observing the movements of the musketeer to achieve prediction in advance, and when the bullet is discharged, the speed of the peak martial artist of the nine grades cannot avoid the supersonic bullet.
High-grade martial artists, when facing three or two musketeers, can avoid bullets in advance by predicting, if they are facing a team, it is a little difficult, if the number of musketeers reaches one, or run away quickly, within a safe distance, the peak martial artist of the nine grades, the musketeer who can't win a tithe, this is the conclusion reached after countless exercises.
In fact, the combat report sent back by the Shengong Army shows that in actual combat, it is even difficult for the Jiupin peak martial artists to face a group of soldiers, and with the tacit understanding of a group of soldiers, they can even easily block and kill two or three warriors.
This safe distance is thirty paces at the shortest and two hundred paces at the farthest, and in this range, the warrior is far inferior to the musketeer.
If they are close to within thirty paces, the musketeers must alternately cover and retreat, and keep as far as possible, after all, the warriors are too fast for the musketeers to aim.
The effect is so good, thanks to another weapon that Renault equipped the Divine Engineer Army, grenades, such a weapon that is easy to produce and has good results, Renault will naturally not forget.
After thousands of experiments, from the initial ignition type, to the advanced to the pull ignition type, between the fuse and the pull ring, a flint mechanism is added, and there is no need to carry incense with you.
The explosion power of the grenade is not great, the grandmaster can charge against the flying shrapnel, the defense ability of the Jiupin martial artist is not enough, even if he can't be killed, he has to be injured all over his body, so the soldiers can shoot while throwing bombs, alternately retreating, as long as the ammunition is enough, drag can also drag the martial artist to death.
In fact, the frontal battlefield is a large army battle, and it is very rare for a single soldier to be left alone, and the warriors below the grandmaster are not much stronger than ordinary soldiers when facing the Shengong Army.
There is no shortage of musketeers in Shengong City, what is lacking is a qualified musket, and until now, the production speed is far from meeting the demand.
Even so, Shengong City still reserved a thousand muskets, as for the personnel, there is no need to worry at all, not to mention the trained new army of the desert legion, the 1,500 cadets of the military academy alone have been trained as musketeers.
With Huya's order, 300 musketeers, 500 sword and shield men, plus 100 craftsmen, 500 coolies, and more than 1,000 people entered the dead room, and while on guard, the deformed alloy wall was dismantled, hoisted to the ground, and re-smelted.
"Hurry, move fast, move forward, don't stop. Lei Jiu's sharp voice sounded at the turn of the underground passage.
With an earthy yellow tactical helmet on her head, camouflage body armor, a tactical vest full of various military supplies, a musket in her hand, and a slap on the shoulder of a passing musketeer, she is shorter than most soldiers, her body is not strong enough, and she has the slender figure of a girl, but no one dares to underestimate the very rare girl among the cadets.
The ghost knows what Lei Jiu's surname is, she is one of the thousands of orphans in Los Angeles, she took the shit luck, was met by Mr., was admitted to Shengong City, became a glorious little girl, and successively served Si Din, Si Ji, Mo Xiang and others, and often had the opportunity to meet Mr.
When she was first taken in, she had just turned eleven years old and was the ninth orphan taken in by Renault, so her name was Lei Jiu. There are many children like her, and the ranking has reached more than three hundred. The last child to be taken in was in Dingjun City, where the gentleman rarely appeared in front of everyone, and there were no more children.
The children who took in them were the children who were picked up by the husband, the unified name, and the group of people who were very trusted by the husband.
Originally, a girl like her was supposed to be a maid, and after studying for a period of time and passing the literacy and arithmetic, she would be assigned to different units.
Lei Jiu is a little different, in the second year of joining Shengong City, she found that she has martial arts talent, in addition to the normal monthly example, she and dozens of other children who also have martial arts talent will also get corresponding martial arts cultivation resources, Shengong City has never lacked these things, so naturally she doesn't care about giving out dozens of more copies.
The normal practice of martial arts consumes quite limited materials, and the resources obtained by taking in children are three times more than the resources prepared for their children by most middle-class families in Dachu.
Having resources doesn't necessarily mean success, and not having resources is less likely to succeed. Lei Jiu never let go of any opportunity, just as she never let go of any chance to live before she became an adopter child.
In a few years, she became a seventh-level martial artist and got more resources, but unfortunately when she reached this level, it became more and more difficult to move up again.
Renault founded a military school, she was the first to sign up, for her business, Huya also asked Mr. for his opinion, originally Mr. was not ready to accept female cadets, personally met Lei Jiu, talked for a quarter of an hour, and finally approved her to enter the school.
Lei Jiu is very competitive, she did not specialize because she was given the surname Lei and was a child taken in by her husband, and her requirements for herself were higher than those of military school teachers.
Now she is a team leader, and she is in charge of a hundred classmates. You must know that there are only 1,500 cadets in the cadet, and the team is already the highest rank among the cadets.
It is said that after the cadets graduate, their ranks will be automatically raised by one level, that is to say, after Lei Jiu graduates, he will be directly the radical and can command five hundred soldiers.
In fact, the treatment of military cadets is even better than they imagined, even the worst students, walking out of the school gate, directly past the captain, the lowest will be the chief.
1,500 military cadets can form a force of 15,000 people in a short period of time, and as long as they go through a few months of training, they may have some problems becoming elite soldiers, at least they will be much stronger than the government army. If there are enough weapons and equipment, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a strong army.
Due to the lack of guns, even if Lei Jiu is the captain of the military academy, there are not many opportunities to touch the gun, she cherishes every opportunity, not only to maintain the first gun in the school, but also to shoot amazingly. A little girl who has only undergone 30 rounds of live ammunition training, with a total score of 249 rings in 200 paces of shooting, is also outstanding in the Shengong Army.
"Fifty steps forward for one tithe, one hundred steps for tithe, and so on, the speed should be fast. Lei Jiu urged, the cadets had received similar training, and their movements were already extremely fast, but Lei Jiu was still not satisfied.
"Stop, get ready for battle. Lei Jiu shouted, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, and opened the safe.
The cadets in the back stopped, half-kneeling on the ground, the sound of pulling the bolt rang out, and the cadets who rushed in front turned around on the spot, some kneeling, some lying down, some standing, the movements were smooth, and the sense of hierarchy was very high.
Seeing this scene, Renault nodded again and again, the training results of the military school are still satisfactory, compared to the current Shengong Army, he is more looking forward to the Shengong Army in a year, with the addition of these military academy students, the combat effectiveness will be significantly improved, these children, in addition to the lack of actual combat experience, the reaction ability of tactical actions is much stronger than the temporary formation of the Shengong Army.
He recognized Lei Jiu at a glance, among the children he personally took in, the top fifty could be named, Lei Zhong was one of the few girls, and it was very special, it was hard to forget.
"Ready, cluster grenades. Lei Jiu ordered again.
Renault slapped his thigh, this girl, cow batch!
