Hannibal's army came from numerous semi-civilized tribes, which belonged to Africa, southern Europe and other regions, were trading with Carthage or were in a state of being conquered. There were only 500 troops with Carthage citizenship, less than one-tenth of the total. one.
This is a completely multinational force. They have no common language, use their own weapons, and follow different combat styles. The best infantry comes from Africa, and the best cavalry comes from Numidia. It is unimaginable that in the fierce battle, How did Hannibal pass orders and command such an army in a brutal face-to-face battle.
After seeing the Roman army, looking at the Carthaginian army is like comparing the U.S. Army with the Afghan Army. There is a century difference between the two.
When the Carthaginians were still using mercenaries, all Roman soldiers were provided by citizens. They were well-trained and could master the most important Roman phalanx proficiently. They were loyal and brave, and equipped with the best weapons of this era. It has the most mature tactics, sufficient logistics, and local operations. Furthermore, property and affluence, while not a guarantee of their morality, did guarantee their knowledge—they lacked nothing but a good commander.
Standing on the hill, Huang Xuan imagined China on the other side of the ocean. Almost five years ago, the Qin Dynasty had just unified the six countries. In terms of numbers, China's war machine seemed larger, but in terms of region and form, China's war methods were inferior to the Punic wars of the same era.
The three Punic Wars were all based on the combination of land and sea. The two countries fought from the era of three-oared warships to the era of five-oared warships. Rome also fought from a land warfare power with only 10 broken ships to an 80-ship warship. It can be said that Rome’s victory was based on the Roman navy. Although after every victory, the Roman navy was almost wiped out, the navy was built again and again, each time hundreds of warships were built. Its construction proves its extremely strong war strength.
Rome and Carthage fought from Spain to Italy, and half of Europe and Africa were pulled apart for two hundred years. The final result determined the fate of the world. Looking back from the first century, whether Qin Shihuang unified China had far less impact on the world than the victory of Rome or Carthage.
Huang Xuan had seen the Chinese army during the Warring States Period. Compared with the army, at least in terms of military uniformity, he felt that Zhao's army was stronger. Looking at this multinational army, what was funny was that he was also more curious about Hannibal. .
"Shall we go down to see him now?" Huang Xuan asked.
"I remember that these were hard times for the Romans?" Mr. Conmas dismounted and began trying to clear a spot from the grass.
Huang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to see him now?"
"Of course, I'm not used to dealing with a victorious army." Mr. Conmas smiled slyly, and in doing so, the corners of his mouth tended to move toward his nose, making him look like a coyote.
Huang Xuan watched him use energy to create a lawn, and then dig a deep pit, frowning and said: "What do you want to do?"
"Have you been vaccinated? Level 6 vaccine?"
"Yes." Huang Xuan was vaccinated by Lorraine from the beginning.
"That's good. You know, when we were in school, all teachers would teach us that microorganisms are always the most effective and the most threatening. This time, I am going to use sinus bacteria, which will inflame your heart. Then This causes an irregular heartbeat, and as this condition worsens, strenuous exercise can lead to fainting and even death."
After glancing at Huang Xuan, Mr. Conmas just turned on his energy screen and said: "It doesn't take much energy to directly create a microorganism, but reproduction is very easy..."
As he spoke, he called Cyrus to bring him the half-eaten sheep that had been their supper.
Huang Xuan stood a little further back. Faced with professional things, he did not dare to say too much for fear of showing his timidity.
Mr. Conmas explained deliberately: "Sinus bacteria are a very useful microorganism. Its mode of transmission is easy to control. It is spread through food and drink. It is rarely transmitted outside the human body. It generally only survives for 10 years without a living body." Seconds, but as long as there are no antibodies, it is very effective. Within two days at most, people will have severe high fever, muscle weakness, hypoxia and difficulty breathing... "
Huang Xuan took a breath. There were no antibodies. This sinus-type bacteria was not a native microorganism on the P plane at all. Of course, it would not have antibodies. Facing the mighty army in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "You want to cure the disease? Contact Hannibal?"
"Maybe." Mr. Conmas had already begun to inoculate the sheep with sinus bacteria and said while doing so: "You said that this army is fighting in a foreign land, so it is natural for them to be infected with some foreign diseases that no one understands. If we come down and find them, they won't doubt us. As long as we prove that we can't be controlled by them, then it's appropriate to come up with conditions."
Huang Xuan excused himself: "Their starting conditions will not be very good, but we can come little by little. It will be more advantageous if his army is smaller in number?"
"That's right." Conmas clapped his hands and said, "I think when his army is reduced to ten thousand people, he will need more help, such as some energy cannons? It's a pity that we can't open the plane channel, otherwise Taking over this planet is easy."
Huang Xuan thought about time at this time, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid we don't have time to stay on this planet for too long."
"Do you want to participate in the final round of the peak showdown?" Mr. Conmas nodded: "Don't worry, we will complete it within two months. By then, the eighth round should be over, and that will be the official competition."
The competition schedule of Peak Showdown is based on standard time, which is the actual time a person is alive - and each plane has its own time schedule. A month left in P001 is only equivalent to 7 days in P11, but it is still a month in standard time.
Huang Xuan was actually thinking of Chu Yining. The Green Pine family and the Norton family would start a war in a wide range of planes and time and space. The month she called was of course time in space and time.
However, 7 days is also acceptable. If Lorraine needs something, she can really help. Huang Xuan nodded slightly and said: "We will complete what we should complete."
With admiration on his face, Mr. Conmas smiled and said: "You are doing it as if you have completed the glory of the adult ceremony. You should be qualified for the glory."
"Thank you." Huang Xuan didn't know which of his words, or the results of the peak showdown, got such an answer.
Without any utensils, Mr. Comas relied on an energy screen to regulate the temperature to cultivate microorganisms. At the same time, he said: "Sinus-type bacteria can parasitize in any cell tissue, but only when encountering something similar to human heart valves." Cells and tissues can grow and function, such as those of pigs and cows... "
What he was doing and talking seemed not to tell Huang Xuan, but just to say it. Huang Xuan suspected that this was a quirk.
Both men were speaking in Standard Tongue, which Cyrus could not understand, but began to set up camp. His ability to observe words and emotions has not deteriorated due to his rise in status.
Throughout the night, Mr. Conmas was adjusting the bacteria there. Huang Xuan looked at the bacteria on the energy screen and suddenly felt a little familiar. He asked in a dark voice: "Ning Ao, the way he controls the cultivation of bacteria is precision. control?"
"That's right. Hongzhong." The latter word is probably a proper noun.
"Don't you think I should try?" Huang Xuan still used a dark voice.
"up to you."
Having been professionally recognized by the supervisor, Huang Xuan immediately squatted next to Mr. Kangma and asked with a smile: "Mr. Kangma, how long do you need to cultivate these microorganisms?"
"Just one night, you should go to bed first." Mr. Conmas was in good spirits. It seemed that he had not taken poison for several years.
Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "I mean, maybe I can help you?"
"Generating microorganisms? This is very troublesome." He said and immediately reacted: "Oh, I have seen your performance in the peak duel. Your level of finesse is very high. You can try it."
"Okay." Huang Xuan said, picking up another rabbit that was killed in the afternoon, placing it in front of him, and said in a dark voice: "Ning Ao, what should I do?"
"Each microorganism has its best growth zone. When a microorganism first begins to reproduce, their growth rate is very slow. As their number increases, if nutrients are sufficient and conditions such as temperature and moisture are suitable, they will It will grow in logarithmic form, and then it will enter a stable period. At this time, it means that the number of microorganisms has reached its maximum for the environment, and the balance between rebirth and death will no longer increase. Then it will decline and enter the decline period. This is because of the reduction of nutrients. And the increase in by-products, in P11, that’s just the basics.”
"I only went to junior high school, so what should I do?" Huang Xuan's teeth itched with hatred. If he hadn't spent too much time in his grandfather's private school, he would have had the opportunity to go to college by now.
"You have two options. First, move the microorganisms in the stable phase into a new environment and give them adequate nutrients, or move new nutrients in and remove the by-products of the microorganisms."
"A by-product?"
"It's just excrement. Penicillium's excrement is penicillin. And the secretion of sinus bacteria is its antibiotic." Ning Ao irresponsibly misled Huang Xuan.
"Okay, it's that simple?"
"The key point is the boundary between the logarithmic phase and the stable phase. The growth in the logarithmic phase is very fast, and the more foundations, the faster. Therefore, you should try to keep the microorganisms in the logarithmic phase of high-speed growth. This boundary range is the best. This means you only have a short window of time to judge, and ultimately, if you can assign each microorganism directly to their suitable environment, they will speed up."
