In a desolate valley in Qingxi Bay, a large area of flat clearing has been sorted out. This is the training ground of Li Hao's private soldiers.

On the east side, there are two neat rows of blue brick houses, which are the soldiers' dormitories and canteens. To the west is a low wall of varying heights for soldiers to practice jumping over obstacles, and some barbed wire for soldiers to crawl quickly underneath. On the north side, there are some simple training equipment.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and this is a small military camp. The barracks are within the scope of Li Hao's private wasteland, and this valley is usually rarely populated, and there are two soldiers on duty guarding the entrance, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

At this time, Li Hao and Xiao Zhongzhi came to the entrance of the valley together, and the two soldiers on duty saw Li Hao and immediately saluted: "Hello sir!" ”

Li Hao returned a military salute and walked straight into the valley with Xiao Zhong.

Xiao Zhongzhi frowned deeply, and said: "Childe, the terrain of the double hump is complicated, and the bandits are familiar with the terrain, and we are too disadvantaged to fight there." Moreover, the number of bandits is almost three times that of us, and the training is not such a practice, so it is better to let the local soldiers in the imperial court take action.

Li Hao said: "I want to get a batch of armor, the soldiers have armor on their bodies, and the equipment is far superior to that of the bandits, although our number is smaller, we will not suffer." ”

Xiao Zhongzhi was shocked and said: "The armor is a forbidden item, it is estimated that no officer dares to sell it privately, how can he get it?" Moreover, those with armor are all elite troops of the imperial court, and the local box army has no armor unless it is an officer. Don't say buy, we can't grab it. ”

"No need to buy it, we produce it ourselves."

"What? Own production? Xiao Zhong was dumbfounded and said, "Childe, there are more than one hundred and ten soldiers, if everyone builds a set of armor, how long will it take?" The most clever blacksmith may not be able to build a set in half a month, and where can the son find so many craftsmen? When the armor is ready, it's next year. ”

Li Hao smiled, "Why don't we make a bet, within five days, I can produce these armors." ”

Xiao Zhongzhi shook his head, "Although I don't know how Childe can do it, I believe that Childe will definitely be able to do it." I don't want to be involved in the bet I have to lose. ”

While the two were talking, they had already entered the valley, and they heard a loud command from a distance: "Stand up, take a break, stand up." Today's first training event is weight-bearing mountain climbing, all of which are, turn left, run in unison, one, one, two, one, three, four. ”

Soon a neat team came running, each carrying a large backpack. When Jiang Wuyang, who was the leader, saw Li Hao, he immediately shouted: "Stand-set!" ”

The soldiers neatly ran four more steps and stopped, Jiang Wuyang tidied up the team, and saluted Li Hao in unison.

Li Hao returned a military salute, and he would come to the barracks from time to time to take a look in his spare time, and occasionally have a meal with these soldiers. After all, these are his own soldiers, and they can't be too alienated. For the soldiers of this era, if you are willing to eat the same meal as them, they will be willing to pay for you.

Anyway, the food here is really good, fragrant white rice, and meat for a meal. Although the soldiers trained hard, they had no complaints.

Li Hao looked at these young faces, among these people, there were about thirty people whose names he could name, and most of the rest also felt familiar to them.

Xiao Zhongzhi on the side was secretly surprised, these soldiers were all straight and refreshed, this army was completely different from the lifeless soldiers. Looking at this posture, Xiao Zhongzhi naturally felt that this was an elite soldier.

"Lizheng," Jiang Wuyun said: "Please give a lecture, chief!" ”

"Take a break," Li Hao glanced at the soldiers and said, "I believe everyone has heard that the tea leaves of our Donghai Tea House were robbed by bandits." Since he dared to grab our head, can we not teach him a lesson ruthlessly? Raising soldiers for thousands of years is used for a while. Do you have faith in this battle? ”

"Yes!" The neat voices of the soldiers resounded through the valley, startling Xiao Zhongzhi.

"It's good, everyone has been training for so long, and I can see how hard they trained, but the effectiveness of the training has to be proven through this battle. It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip on. Those who have made great meritorious contributions this time can be promoted to senior soldiers, or even to corporal, whether they are bad breeds or not, it depends on the battle. ”

The soldiers were in high spirits when they heard this, and they were able to be promoted to the rank of private, and their salaries were increased by 30 percent, and more importantly, this honor. The system of military ranks has long been announced to soldiers and their relatives, and the ranks are, from lowest to highest: private, private, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel. Li Hao felt that he could not use more senior colonels and major generals for the time being, so he did not announce it.

If the military rank is above the rank of non-commissioned officer at the time of retirement, Li Gongzi will be paid a monthly military allowance. If the military rank is above the rank of second lieutenant, the son not only pays subsidies, but also is responsible for pensions, and after the age of 45, he can not only receive military subsidies every month, but also receive a pension.

You don't have to work to get money, isn't it almost the same as eating imperial food?

Occasionally, when soldiers come home from vacation, their relatives at home are always nagging in their ears that they must get the rank of mid-level non-commissioned officer, preferably the rank of second lieutenant. There is a lot of nagging, and the soldiers naturally take this as their goal, once they get the rank of second lieutenant, it is simply an honor to honor their ancestors, and they will also have a lot of face in front of their neighbors and relatives and friends.

Li Hao asked the soldiers to go to Li's mansion, and he turned on the alien brain to scan the body shape data of each soldier.

The Jiang brothers and Xiao Zhongzhi didn't understand what this was for, and Li Hao told them: "I not only have to make a set of armor for each of them, but also tailor it to fully match their body shape." ”

"Is this possible?" Those who listened were dumbfounded.

Will I tell you I brought a CNC machine with me? Not to mention the simple parts of armor, even the most complex surface processing is easy, and a large number of special steels have been brought, what is the production of more than 100 sets of armor?

Li Hao has always firmly believed that experiencing a battle with cold weapons can accelerate the growth of the army, at least improve the fighting spirit and courage of the soldiers. In this case, it is necessary to make a set of armor for the soldiers to reduce casualties. With the resources Li Hao had at hand, the price of processing a set of armor was very slight.

There is a lot of wasteland in Qingxi Bay, and when Li Hao bought it, the Liang family had already built some sporadic buildings, and Li Hao had converted one of the lumberyards into a temporary factory and installed two machine tools. With the infinite power of the iron sheet, everything is efficient.

After scanning the body shape of each soldier, the alien brain automatically generates the drawing data of each armor part, and sends it to the CNC machine through a converter to process the parts that meet the standards.

Xiao Zhongzhi was very curious about the production of armor and wanted to know how it could be created in a short time, so he had to follow Li Hao to watch. Meilan, Zhuju, and the four maids also followed Li Hao, and they and Xiao Zhongzhi both saw an unforgettable scene.

Steel is processed by machine tools and turned into a variety of components. Is that still hard steel? It's like mud, and you can cut it into whatever you want.

After Xiao Zhongzhi met Li Hao, he was constantly shocked, but the shock in the past was not as shocking as this one. Those "clairvoyance" and "downwind ears" are magical, but they are finished products after all. And now we are watching the processing process, the visible production process.

The processing process of CNC machine tools will be shocked by modern people, not to mention Xiao Zhongzhi's turtle. The efficiency of large-scale industrial production, the power of large-scale machines, and the advanced full-automation all shocked Xiao Zhongzhi's soul.

I was able to do this!

The parts that the craftsmen couldn't hammer out all day were able to be made all at once, and the whole process did not require human intervention at all.

This is completely beyond Xiao Zhongzhi's imagination. He never dared to imagine that a machine could be so capable. It seems that it will not be a problem at all to process a hundred sets of armor. Of course, there are still a lot of processes for adding leather to the production of these armors, but a large number of people under Childe can easily complete it.
