Chapter 82
Sui Xiong is not proficient in history, but as a networm, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand history himself, as long as netizens understand it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When chatting with netizens, he once heard an allusion: in ancient times, there was a tribe that did not know whether to be called "Miao" or "Youmiao" who did not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven at that time was Shun in Yao Shunyu, so he sent a group of big men with axes and shields to run close to the tribe and conduct an armed exercise - so the tribe was obedient.
There is an allusion to this matter, called "Xiu Wende", Sui Xiong still does not understand why the armed exercise is considered "Wen" virtue - this is all "Wen", is it not a "martial" virtue if you kill the whole family?
When he heard this story, he felt that this practice was really pretending to be extremely forced, and it was also extremely powerful, and he was always very fascinated. At this moment, when I heard what Parin said, I couldn't help but think of this allusion and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he added to Palin's plan.
"Not only are we going to display our sophisticated weapons and armor near the portal, but we're also going to send troops to train in the portal square...... No, the place is a bit small, and it may not be able to be used...... Well, let's set up a big projection there and show everyone the drill!"
Palin was stunned and asked, "What is that?"
Sui Xiong then remembered that there was no concept of drills in this world. In this world, if you want to train the army, in addition to practicing hard in the barracks, it is to find monsters or robbers to fight. Of course, if conditions permit, it is also possible to organize large-scale hunting, using hunting as a military exercise.
In general, their military concepts are quite backward!
He didn't know that it was almost the same in ancient times on earth. It is not because of backward military concepts, but simply because there are not enough resources to provide for military exercises in the modern sense.
In military exercises, it is inevitable that some people will be injured. The level of medical care in ancient times was far more backward than that of modern times, and the mortality rate of soldiers after being injured was extremely high, so no one was willing to toss like this.
But this is not a problem for the Northwest Republic, they not only have enough medical team, but also Sui Xiong's full support, even if the injury is serious, it is a big deal that Sui Xiong personally treats it. With him watching, it was not easy for those soldiers to die by accident.
With reliable security, of course, it will be possible to conduct exercises.
So Sui Xiong gathered the military officials of the Northwest Republic and announced the matter.
"That's fine. "But it will take some time to prepare, and we will need to mobilize the troops from all over the country, and we will have to change their outfits, and we will be able to train them only after they are fully accustomed to the new equipment." After a period of training, you can conduct drills. ”
Sui Xiong frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"
"If the supply of equipment can keep up, it will take about two months. ”
Sui Xiong naturally understood that Renard was right, but he still couldn't help but sigh.
It took two months...... The army of mortals is really too inconvenient!
If this is a divine legion, it will be decided today, and it will be able to pull up the team to start training tomorrow at the latest, and even if it is in a hurry, once it is decided, it will be able to start the exercise immediately.
But he also knew that oracles were completely different from mortals. They are essentially just manifestations of divine power, and there is actually not much point in training them for exercises - those elite divine envoys who have souls themselves are fine, and they are somewhat effective, but for those mass-produced divine envoys of cannon fodder nature, any training is meaningless.
Therefore, in the kingdom of the gods, no one will waste time and divine power to train those cannon fodder who will die as they come.
In fact, in terms of efficiency, it is the fastest and best for the gods to send a large number of divine messengers to deal with the war on earth. But this will not only consume a huge amount of divine power, but it will also easily cause public anger - everyone is honestly cultivating a mortal army, and you directly send an army of divine envoys, is this showing off your muscles? Or is it going to blind everyone's dog eyes?
It's like a big guy with money and gold and silver all over his clothes, going to a slum where there is chaos and law, and then laughing three times and shouting, "I'm so rich."
Well, basically there is no other word to describe it except begging.
Of course, Sui Xiong didn't want to do such a thing, so he could only wait patiently and wait for the mortal army to be slowly trained.
Fortunately, until then, he could find something else to do.
Let's say, improving the process.
He came to the metallurgical technology research team led by Palin, asked them about the progress of their research, and visited the new armor they made.
Compared with the traditional armor, these new armors seem a bit too plain, there are almost no decorative patterns or items on the armor pieces of the whole body, and the places where the armor pieces are connected are only connected with strong leather and metal ropes, without the slightest meaning of decoration.
Judging from a few samples, this armor is really unpretentious, not to mention the simplicity of the style, and even the color looks gray - because Palin also specially made the surface of them anti-rust treatment to prevent the steel from rusting. This gray color is the effect of anti-rust treatment. It's not pretty, but it works.
Sui Xiong took a closer look at these armors, and personally experimented with their effects, and compared them with the samples that were used as references, in general, he was quite satisfied.
In terms of quality, these armors are of course not as good as those made with divine power or magic, but they are much better than the refined armor created by ordinary craftsmen. Arming soldiers with them is enough to make any army in the world look at it - you know, many knights don't have such a complete set of heavy armor!
It's just that he pondered it carefully for a while, but he felt that this armor seemed to have some shortcomings, and there was still room for further improvement.
(What's missing?)
Sui Xiong did not hinder Palin's research, and stayed quietly to the side, looking at a pair of gray new mass-produced armor and another brilliant cuirass, wondering where this new type of armor could be further improved.
He pondered it for a long time, and finally came up with it.
Look at this new armor, the bare piece on it looks like a brand new white paper. Why do you draw something on such a blank piece of paper, for example, to get some magic patterns or something?
He told Parin and the others what he thought, and Palin and the others looked at each other, and finally said that they had thought about this, but they couldn't do it.
"Huh, is this difficult to do?" Sui Xiong was a little surprised, "It shouldn't be difficult to engrave some magic patterns on such a smooth and glorious armor......"
"The point is...... We won't. Parin smiled wryly and said, "The magician's enchantment technique needs to be started during the production of the armor. If you want to enchant the armor after it is complete, you either need to hire a high-level mage to perform a high-level demonization spell, or you can find a rune mage to engrave the runes. The former is too costly to outweigh the benefits...... Where are we going to find the rune mage?"
Sui Xiong then understood, so he patted his chest, indicating that this matter was on him, and then immediately set off to find the rune mage. (To be continued.) )
