Three days passed quickly, and at noon this day, Jin Shoucheng came to the grain city again, Li Liangzuo still trained as always, and after the training was completed, Li Liangzuo met Jin Shoucheng; This time, Jin Shoucheng not only brought the bicycle that Li Liangzuo wanted, but also brought samples of weapons. \ When Li Liangzuo returned to the big tent, he found that his big tent was full of things, the most conspicuous of which was the bicycle, although it was very simple compared with the bicycles of later generations, but it was better than nothing, not to mention that in Li Liangzuo's eyes, this will be a weapon of war in the future, and in the case of insufficient war horses, bicycles can become a substitute for war horses, and these two wheels are always faster than two legs.
Li Liangzuoxing hurriedly came to the bicycle, praised the bonus Shoucheng while watching, and said: "Okay, great, Jin Aiqing, you have made a great contribution to me." ” Jin Shoucheng modestly praised Li Liangzuo and said: "All this depends on Your Majesty's guidance, without Your Majesty's guidance, Weichen can't make it."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said nothing, but he thought in his heart that you kid is quite good at being a person, Li Liangzuo pushed the bicycle outside the tent regardless of the others, and found that there are still a lot of problems in the bicycle, because there is no rubber tire, this car is very heavy to ride, this problem Li Liangzuo can't solve it for the time being, but another problem is that the saddle of the car has no shock absorption device, and the butt hurts after riding for a while.
After returning from a lap, Li Liangzuo said to Jin Shoucheng: "This bike is doing well, but there is also a lot of room for improvement. ” "Your Majesty, what kind of spring seat is this?"
Jin Shoucheng asked Li Liangzuo.
"This spring seat is" Li Liangzuo didn't know how to express it for a while, so he simply said it on the drawing, and then handed it to Jin Shoucheng and said: "This is the spring seat, the key is this spring, this spring is made of stainless steel, you go back and try to do it, if you can't do it, forget it." ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Jin Shoucheng carefully put away the drawings and said: "Your Majesty, look at this is the sample of the weapons and armor that Weichen created for the new army, since the blast furnace steelmaking method handed over by His Majesty, the output of refined iron has been greatly improved, and the molten iron smelted is even better than 100 steels." ” Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "That's good, I will be rewarded for doing a good job." ” "Your Majesty, you see this is chain mail, but the production process of this armor is cumbersome, and the cost is relatively high."
Jin Shoucheng pointed to the chain mail in front of him and said.
Looking at the chain mail in front of him, Li Liangzuo said: "Although the cost is high, the chain mail is the best combination in weight and defensive performance, I will give you two and a half years at most, and after two and a half years, you must deliver 100,000 pairs of chain mail." ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Kim Shoucheng answered.
Chain mail, also known as chain mail or iron cloth shirt, is made of small iron rings, just like a piece of clothing, the weight of chain mail is very light between ten and thirteen kilograms, generally speaking, the smaller the iron ring, the better the defensive performance, due to the complex production process and high cost, the chain mail in the era of cold weapons is only available to senior generals.
And the chain mail in front of Li Liangzuo can be said to be the best in the chain mail, the general chain mail only has a top, and the one in front of Li Liangzuo in addition to the top, there are pants, combat boots, gloves and helmets, the whole set of armor is only fifteen kilograms, in fact, the pants are two iron nets, and they are directly wrapped around the legs when wearing armor.
Li Liangzuo was very satisfied with this set of chain mail, Li Liangzuo tried to slash with a sword, except for the sparks that came out of the friction, the chain mail was not damaged in the slightest, Li Liangzuo was very satisfied and said to Jin Shoucheng: "It is made in batches in the whole way, and the iron ring should be as small as possible, if the quality of the armor is not good, if the brothers give their lives, you are a sinner through the ages." ” "Wechen must do his best."
Kim Shoucheng said; "Your Majesty, this is a fish scale armor, in order to improve the defense of the fish scale armor, Wei Chen still used a cold-rolled method to forge, and the defense of this set of fish scale armor is twice as high as that of ordinary fish scale armor."
"You are a master craftsman, do what you can do best, I trust you."
Li Liangzuo patted Jin Shoucheng on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, this time the bow and crossbow Weichen didn't bring it."
Jin Shoucheng said to Li Liangzuo; "Wechen would like to ask Your Majesty to take the time to go to Jincheng, so I can give Weichen some advice."
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll find time to go; Remember that the bicycle and the blast furnace steelmaking method are the top secrets of the state, and once the secret is leaked, there may be a disaster of national extinction; If I find out about it, I'll punish you first. ” "Yes, Wechen understands."
Jin Shoucheng knelt down on the ground and said.
In order to keep secret, when Jin Shoucheng left, he brought all the samples back to Jincheng; The problem of marching with bicycles is solved, but there is another problem in front of Li Liangzuo, that is, the problem of military rations for the march; The new army built by Li Liangzuo is a high-speed and mobile force, which basically belongs to the operation without a rear, and can carry limited grain and grass.
If an expedition is carried out for more than 10 days without getting supplies, it is normal to look at the amount of military rations carried by individual soldiers, and the more military rations carried by individual soldiers, the longer it means that the army will maintain its combat effectiveness, and in this era, the grain and grass carried by individual soldiers is only five days at most, and the new army must break through this limit.
On this night, Li Liangzuo began to inspect the barracks as usual, and when passing by a camp, Li Liangzuo tripped over a stone and almost fell a dog to eat, but it was this fall that inspired Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo was inspired by this stone, and thought of the compressed biscuits he sold in the supermarket in order to go out less in his previous life.
Of course, what Li Liangzuo made cannot be regarded as compressed biscuits, it can only be said that the two are very close; In Western Xia, the main food was rice and millet seeds, which were the basic raw materials in Li Langzuo, and the rice and millet were peeled and fried, and then ground into powder with a stone mill.
After the flour is formed, water and a small amount of salt are added to make rice or mince paste, and then cut into pieces and put them in the sun or baked in a large pot, and the final result is a simple compressed biscuit.
"Your Majesty, what you asked the Fire Head Camp to do has been made."
Xiao Fuzi walked up to Li Liangzuo and said.
"Bring it to me and show it."
Li Liangzuo said.
Seeing that Xiao Fuzi's compressed biscuits were black, Li Liangzuo took them and knocked on the dragon case and found that this thing was harder than stones, Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Fuzi to bring a helmet, and then lit a fire in the big tent, put some water in the helmet, and then crushed the compressed biscuits and put them in, and tried it himself after putting some jerky and cooking it.
To be honest, this thing is not very tasty, but there is a little benefit, that is, anti-hunger, it is good to be able to eat enough when marching and fighting, who cares about what to eat, so Li Liangzuo ordered the mass production of this compressed biscuit, which is also a top secret of the state.
After the first batch of compressed biscuits came out, all the soldiers were allowed to eat it a few times, and the reverse was not bad; In the following time, compressed biscuits were also improved, and became the unique military food of the new army in Western Xia, of course, in the case of long-term no supplies, the soldiers ate this thing until they vomited.
Bicycles increased the speed of maneuvering for the new army, and compressed biscuits increased the carrying capacity of the new army's grain and grass from five days to fifteen days, and these two sharp weapons became an important magic weapon for the new army of Western Xia and the central army to conquer the world in the future
