Sui Xiong is not proficient in history, but as a netizen, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand history himself, as long as netizens understand it.
When chatting with netizens, he once heard an allusion: In ancient times, there was a tribe who didn't know whether to call it "Miao" or "Youmiao" who disobeyed the emperor's orders. The emperor at that time was Yao, Shun, and Yu. Shun, he sent a group of tough men, carrying axes and shields, to a place close to the tribe and conducted an armed drill - so the tribe became obedient.
There is an allusion to this matter, which is called "cultivating literary virtue". Sui Xiong still doesn't understand why armed drills are considered "literary" virtues - this is all considered "literary". Could it be that killing the whole family is considered "martial" virtue
When he heard the story at that time, he felt that this approach was really pretentious and awesome to the extreme, and he has always been fascinated by it. When I heard what Palin 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 do we have to display sophisticated weapons and armor near the portal, but we also send troops to conduct training exercises in the portal square... No, the place is a bit small and may not be displayed... Well, let's arrange a large projection there. , show everyone the drill scene!"
Palin was stunned and asked: "Drill? 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 an army, in addition to practicing hard in the military camp, you have to find monsters or bandits to fight. Of course, if conditions permit, large-scale hunting can also be organized and used as a military exercise.
In general, their military concepts are quite backward!
But he didn't know that it was almost like this on earth in ancient times. It's not because the military concept is backward, it's simply because there are not enough resources to support military exercises in the modern sense.
In military exercises, people will inevitably get injured. The level of medical care in ancient times was far behind modern times, and the mortality rate after soldiers were injured was extremely high, so no one was willing to go through such trouble.
But this is not a problem for the Northwest Republic. Not only do they have a sufficient medical team, but they also have Sui Xiong's full support. No matter how serious the injury is, Sui Xiong will just take care of the treatment himself. With him watching, it would be difficult for those soldiers to die in an accident.
With reliable security guarantees, of course we can conduct exercises.
So Sui Xiong summoned the military officials of the Northwest Republic and announced the matter.
"That's no problem." The evil god Leonard, who is almost equivalent to the military commander, said, "But it will take some time to prepare, mobilize and assemble the troops from various places, and change their equipment. After they are fully adapted to the new equipment, Only then can we carry out relevant training. Only after training for a period of time can we conduct exercises."
Sui Xiong frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"
"If the equipment supply can keep up, it will take about two months."
Sui Xiong naturally understood that Leonard was right, but he still couldn't help but sigh.
It actually takes two months... It's really inconvenient for a mortal army!
If this is the God's Envoy Legion, if they decide today, they can start training as a team tomorrow at the latest. Even if they are in a hurry, they can start training immediately once the decision is made.
But he also knew that divine envoys were completely different from mortals. They are essentially just manifestations of divine power, and training them does not actually make much sense - those elite divine envoys with souls themselves are just that, and they are somewhat effective, but for those mass-produced divine envoys who are cannon fodder, Any training is meaningless.
Therefore, in the kingdom of the gods, no one would ever waste time and divine power to train cannon fodder who are born and destroyed.
In fact, in terms of efficiency, it is the fastest and best for the gods to send a large number of divine envoys to deal with human wars. But this will not only consume a huge amount of divine power, but also easily arouse public anger - everyone is cultivating a mortal army, and you directly send out an army of divine envoys. Are you flexing your muscles? Or do you want to blind everyone's eyes
This is like a rich man, with his clothes covered with banknotes and gold and silver, coming alone to a slum with chaotic law and order, and then laughing three times and shouting "I am so rich."
Well, basically there is no other word to describe it other than asking for a beating.
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, before that, he could find something else to do.
For example, improving processes.
He came to the metallurgical technology research team led by Palin, asked about their scientific research progress, and visited the new armor they made.
Compared with traditional armors, these new armors are a bit too plain. There are almost no decorative patterns or items on the armor pieces. The places where the armor pieces are connected are only connected by strong leather and metal ropes, without any decoration. the meaning of.
Judging from several samples, this kind of armor is really plain and simple. Not to mention the simple style, even the color looks gray - because Palin also specially gave them surface anti-rust treatment to avoid Steel rusts. This gray color is the effect after anti-rust treatment. It's not pretty, but it works.
Sui Xiong looked at these armors carefully and personally tested their effects. Compared with the samples used as reference, he was generally quite satisfied.
In terms of quality, these armors are certainly not as good as those fine armors made using divine power or magic, but they are much better than the refined armors made by ordinary craftsmen. Using them to arm soldiers would be enough to make any army in the world jealous - you know, many knights don't have such a complete set of heavy armor!
But after he thought about it carefully for a while, he felt that there seemed to be something missing in the armor, and there was room for further improvement.
(What exactly is missing?)
Sui Xiong did not hinder Palin's research. He stayed aside quietly, looking at a pair of gray new mass-produced armor and another shining breastplate, wondering what was wrong with this new type of armor. Can be further improved.
He thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out.
Look at this new armor, the bare piece on it is like a brand new piece of white paper. With such a blank piece of paper, why draw something? For example, put some magic patterns or something on it
He expressed his thoughts to Palin and others. Palin and the others looked at each other and finally said that they had thought about this but couldn't do it.
"Eh? Is this difficult to do?" Sui Xiong was a little surprised, "It shouldn't be difficult to carve some magic patterns on such a smooth and glorious armor plate..."
"The key is... we don't know how." Palin said with a wry smile. "The magician's enchanting technology needs to start during the production of the armor. If you want to enchant the armor after it is completed, you must either ask a high-level mage to cast a high-level magician." For magic spells, we either need to find a rune mage to engrave the runes. The former is too costly and the gain outweighs the losses; the latter... where can we find a rune mage?"
Only then did Sui Xiong understand the truth, so he patted his chest and said that the matter would be taken care of by him, and then immediately set off to find the rune mage.
