Chapter 45: The Heavenly Armor Army (5)

Despite this, Yun Tianjia still had no intention of passing on the advanced weapons to him.

Although he is not afraid of imitation, he does not dare to underestimate the wisdom of the world.

In order to put an end to hidden dangers, he took precautions and divided the key processes of casting muskets and preparing gunpowder into several modules, which were taught to the masters of the refining team and the gunpowder team separately.

At the same time, he also stipulated that auxiliary and logistic troops were not allowed to use rifles and palm mines in peacetime, and that they could only be used for self-protection when the enemy attacked. In critical moments, everyone has the responsibility to prioritize the destruction of these weapons, so that the enemy does not get the samples.

The production of rifles and palm mines was rather slow, and so far only a few immature samples have been made.

I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Yun Tianjia could only wait patiently after teaching all the production methods.

The various cold weapons equipped by the army have allowed Yongzhi to gather craftsmen to build them one by one, and he doesn't need to bother with Yuntianjia, but it is a rather inconspicuous carrying tool on weekdays, which makes him pour a lot of energy.

Most of the wars that have occurred in the Star Soul Continent since ancient times are city wall offensive and defensive battles, field position battles, and small-scale guerrilla warfare, and the soldiers generally do not need large-scale, long-term rapid marching, plus the main force of the battle is a soul master, with great strength and good endurance, even if the weight-bearing march does not feel too bitter, so the army ignores the equipment of carrying equipment very much.

After all, Yun Tianjia comes from another time and space, and knows that carrying equipment plays a very important role in saving the physical strength of soldiers, increasing the amount of materials carried, and reducing the burden of battle.

So he personally experimented and designed several carrying tools suitable for different types of troops, and asked the tailor to sew them one by one.

Carrying equipment can reasonably distribute weapons, tools, food, and clothing all over the body, not only the force is uniform, but also the capacity is huge, easy to use, and the benefits of field marching are difficult to describe.

After Zhong Dinghe, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Gong Luoluo tried it first, they felt that it was both practical and beautiful, far better than a cloth bag loose on their backs, and they couldn't put it down, so they each wanted to go to a set first.

This carrying gear is not only for soldiers, but also for auxiliaries and logistics.

Although the logistics troops are usually in the base camp, the possibility of a strategic shift cannot be ruled out, and with the carrying equipment, they will not be in a panic, throwing things around, and dragging mud and water.

In addition, the space pendant is also something that Yun Tianjia wants to do.

Yun Tianjia is the ultimate chaos attribute, that is, a mixture of the fourteen attributes of the five elements and nine palaces, and after stepping into the seventh order, it has the ability to rubbing.

Rubbing is divided into two types: instant rubbing and storage rubbing.

At present, he will only have the ability to rub instantly, and he can only use attribute skills and soul skills at any time, and he can maintain them for a maximum of twelve hours.

In order to make a space pendant, before he left the Star First Courtyard, he rubbed the attribute technique of "Space Development" to Long Xinnan, and then reprinted it every ten hours, which has lasted until now, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.

As early as when he was arranging the Seven Turns Star Soul Great Array, he found a lot of meteorites in the tantalum stone bushes, and after the defeat of the Three Fierce Sects, he had a little free time, so he led people to collect them all, and asked the refiner to make thousands of warrior nameplates.

Then Yun Tianjia used the "Space Development" attribute technique to split out a two-dimensional space of about one cubic foot, and solidified it on the nameplate of the meteorite dark iron material, so as to obtain a space pendant with a capacity of one cubic foot.

It took him two days and two nights to complete the processing of all the nameplates of the soldiers of the Tianjia Army.

So how much of a role can the space pendant have to make him so concerned?

Don't look at the capacity of the space pendant, which is only one cubic foot, it is only one-twenty-seventh of the capacity of the space bracelet given to Yun Tianjia and the others by the First Star Academy, for ordinary soldiers, it is also an extremely rare and precious treasure, and the benefits are numerous.

To put it mildly, having a space pendant is equivalent to having a medium-sized backpack that can be carried around, does not take up space, and has no weight, and if you use it well, you can lose at least sixty pounds for yourself.

This weight is not a big deal for a soul master, but if it is a long march, the effect of the knots will be obvious.

It is also important to note that food and water are stored in the space pendant, which can be stored for a long time without rotting and spoiling. This allows the soldiers marching in the field to eat fresh food at any time, so as to always maintain a strong fighting spirit.

In the grand scheme of things, it can even determine the course of a campaign.

Due to the discrete nature of the distribution of natural resources, generally speaking, the difference in strength between formed armies and armies is not always so obvious, and your warriors have been tempered for thousands of years, and other people's warriors have not grown up vegetarians. You have fierce generals who charge into battle, and you also have commanders who sit in charge of the Chinese army.

When two opposing armies face each other, victory or defeat often depends on some insignificant advantage.

If the space pendant is all used to store food and water, it can hold about 60 catties. Each warrior needs to consume six catties a day, so the storage of a space pendant is enough to support a warrior for ten days.

Isn't it obvious what an army has ten more days to do than its opponent and more possibilities for tactical options?

Moreover, in the wars of all dynasties, logistics and transportation are a big problem, it is not only the weakness that the army wants to cover in every possible way, but also the enemy's preferred surprise target.

Some people say that war is actually a comparison of logistical supply capabilities, and although this is extreme, there is some truth in this.

There is a cloud in the art of war: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

He also said, "Those who make good use of the soldiers will no longer be from service, and their grain will not be used for three years, but they will be used for the country, because the grain will be for the enemy."

Soldiers eat food, and they eat the same whether they fight or not. Why is it that when there is a war, the food problem is particularly prominent?

Because on the surface, it is about grain and grass, but in fact it is about transportation.

"Because of the enemy's food" means that after going to the battlefield, one should try to obtain food from the enemy, or find food on the spot.

Sometimes, in order to deliver grain to the front line, it may be necessary to use several times the labor force of the soldiers to do transportation, which is not only likely to empty the domestic labor force and delay the agricultural time, thus causing a chain effect of food shortage, promoting the intensification of internal class contradictions, and accumulating grievances against the people, but also exposing the transportation line to the eyes of the enemy army, so that the enemy can take advantage of it.

To give an example, if the army fights 1,000 miles away from the grain-producing areas, and an average civilian carries 300 catties of grain to the front line, walks 60 miles a day, and consumes 5 catties of grain per capita per day, then by the time he comes to the front, 300 catties of grain has become 220 catties, and he has to eat more than 80 catties when he goes back.

The people ate even more food on the road than they left for the soldiers.

Historically, due to the lack of food supply, there have been countless examples of the army withholding the rations of the people for military rations.

The people's rations are gone, and those who are lucky can still struggle to return to their hometowns, and those who are unlucky will starve to death on the side of the road. There are also people who are simply requisitioned by the army and used as cannon fodder to test the enemy, and innocently die.

Therefore, the upright army racked their brains to solve the problem of food in advance at the first departure.

But you know, with more food, the ranks will become bloated, the march will slow down, and the warriors will lose mobility.

And the space pendant is such an artifact that almost solves the problem of grain transportation.

It's a pity that its storage space is still too small, if it is the size of the Yuntianjia space bracelet, it is simply an existence against the sky for the army.

Some people may ask, since the Tianjia Army can be equipped with space storage, why can't other armies?

This is because spatial storage devices can only be made by spatial attribute refiners, and spatial attribute soul masters are extremely rare, and spatial attribute refiners are even less.

Yun Tianjia went from the Eagle's Beak Pass on the northwest border, to Shizhu Island in the central capital, and then to Hanyuan County in Huazhou in the south, after four or five years, he had only seen a spatial attribute soul master in Longxinnan.

Spatial attribute refiners have always only been produced by the Xijin Kingdom, and they are rarely seen in other countries.

This is like the Zhongming Empire's special light and time attribute soul master, the Crescent Moon Empire's exclusive spirit and dark attribute soul master, Dongmu Country's emotional attribute soul master, Heishui domestic thunder attribute soul master, and the tailfire country's windy attribute soul master, which is a truth.

In fact, even the Xijin Kingdom could not equip the army with a large number of space storages.

Because there are few space refiners, suitable space materials are also extremely rare. Therefore, every piece of space storage, regardless of quality, is a treasure with no price.

In addition, the capacity of space artifacts that each space refiner can refine is related to his own cultivation and refining materials.

Like the sixty cat's eye space bracelets that can store one cubic meter of materials taken out by the Star First Courtyard, they are quite rare even in the Xijin Kingdom.

It is said that the space refiners who made these space bracelets in Xijin Kingdom have been immortal for many years. Today, there is no second person for the space attribute refiners who can expand the storage device to one cubic meter except for Long Xinnan.

Moreover, there is also a question of speed in making space storage.

Every time a space refiner refines an artifact, it consumes extremely soul power and mind. Creating a space pendant even if it is only one cubic foot is not easy for ordinary space refiners, and the success rate is less than one percent.

Maybe in this world, in addition to Long Xinnan and Yun Tianjia, those who can make space pendants without sleep and maintain a 100% success rate can no longer find a third person. The reason for this was also very simple, because they were both Extreme Attribute Space Refiners.

Whether it is a rifle, picric acid gunpowder, palm thunder and other thermal weapons, or carrying tools and other standard equipment, it will take a lot of time to produce them all. Fortunately, the Tianjia Army does not have to go to the battlefield immediately, and when there is time for training, except for rifles, other equipment can basically be produced.
