Chapter 8 Material Revolution
inside this information.
Apart from demons and ghosts, Du Huaishan was most interested in red marrow.
No wonder the army's sabers are so sharp and can pierce through demons with almost no resistance. There is only a thin layer of iron inside the cloth armor, but it can withstand terrifying attacks.
The appearance of red marrow.
It is tantamount to setting off a material revolution, making the status of cold weapons from dwindling to surging, returning to the battlefield hegemony.
But what Du Huaishan couldn't understand was.
Since red marrow can be added to the metal material of the armor, why not the warhead?
Is it because the material is too hard and not as ductile as lead and copper, so it cannot achieve the airtight effect?
You can use the process of copper inside and red marrow steel outside. This is how Chinese steel bullets are made!
The more he learned, the more doubts Du Huaishan had in his heart.
He then found several other topics to question Tan Hai.
It roughly comes to:
The current technological level of the entire world is approximately equal to that of the Earth during World War I.
Steam locomotives, biplanes, hand-cranked telephones.
But advanced science and technology are basically in the hands of foreign powers, including Nipan and America, which are names he has never heard of.
It can be seen from this background.
The current status of red marrow in the hearts of governments around the world is undoubtedly more important than oil.
Whoever can master the red marrow is equivalent to mastering stronger materials, more guardian spirits, and indirectly also mastering more terrifying force.
After chatting for half the night and praying near the campfire, most of the people who prayed went into the tent to rest. No matter how sad they were, they still wanted to sleep.
"Ha...um..."
Tan Hai yawned: "Brother Huaishan, aren't you sleepy?"
"It's really late."
Du Huaishan ran all afternoon. He would be lying if he said he wasn't tired. "But before going to bed, can I ask you one more thing?"
"Borrow a book?"
Tan Hai was smart and could guess what he wanted in just one sentence.
"Yes, geography, history, it would be better if it is about red marrow and demons. Don't you love sweet potatoes? I will give you the sweet potatoes tomorrow too!"
"Real or false? That's for sure!"
Tan Hai was so excited that he even extended his little finger.
After all, it is the nature of youth.
Du Huaishan had no choice but to cooperate with him. He really didn't know how this guy's stomach grew. He was so thin, but he could eat better than him.
Farewell Tan Hai.
He turned around and walked to the rest camp that had been arranged for him by the soldiers on duty.
At this juncture, don’t think about single rooms.
Before Du Huaishan could enter, a thunderous snoring sound reached his ears through the gap in the door curtain.
After you are mentally prepared, open the door curtain.
Good guy, all kinds of unpleasant smells are coming to your nose, the smell of blood, foot odor, body odor, etc. It's like a group having a party together.
Fortunately, when Du Huaishan was in the university dormitory, he had already developed the olfactory and auditory shielding function under the torture of his roommates.
There is a charcoal brazier in the tent, but it's not too cold.
He found an open space on the edge and lay down, closing his eyes. His body was obviously very tired, but his brain didn't seem to want to let him rest at all, and new problems kept popping up.
I have no choice but to count the sheep by their grunting.
It wasn't until late at night that he fell into a light sleep.
…
When Du Huaishan opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the voices of the crowd.
"I dreamed about paying back the flowers. Fortunately, I have already traveled through time..."
He laughed to himself, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and turned to look at the chattering uncles around him, as if something big was happening outside.
I squeezed out of the tent, it was still dark and gloomy.
Unexpectedly, there were more people outside.
Fortunately, Du Huaishan had been strengthened by demons and ghosts and managed to squeeze out a way by relying on his shoulders.
Get to the front of the line.
Tap tap tap.
The first thing I heard was the slow sound of horse hooves.
An officer wearing shiny broken armor with blood on his face rode at the front. The soldiers following behind him all had sullen and gloomy expressions.
The line is very short.
Soon it was the second team's turn, and the leading officer was none other than Chang Sui'an. The difference from yesterday was that his white cloak was almost covered in blood.
Du Huaishan wanted to say hello to him.
But Chang Sui'an seemed to have cut off everything from the outside world, only staring at the mane on his horse's neck, and no one paid attention to it.
It was a female soldier with single eyelids who made eye contact with him.
It's Yan Xiaoman.
Du Huaishan planned to smile politely, but the next second, he saw the gauze bandaged on the other person's right elbow.
The crimson color soaked in blood on the gauze looked particularly dazzling.
Because, below the elbow, it is empty!
Broken arm!
And it’s the right arm!
Seeing Du Huaishan's Yan Xiaoman, her single eyelids trembled for some reason, but she quickly turned her head away and followed Chang Sui'an's example, staring down at the horse's neck without looking back.
The soldiers in the second row behind her also ended up not doing well.
All of them were wrapped in bandages, their heads were bleeding, or their hands and feet were severed. Old Liu, who was sending out flares, was lying in the trailer, staring at his eyes and coughing up blood.
Who would have thought that Du Huaishan's first impression when he met them in the forest would be so high-spirited.
how so.
It seems that the red flare fired by the third platoon last night encountered something big!
Didn't wait for the cavalry to finish.
The people in Xintun City crowded into the transport truck at the rear. While squeezing, they shouted various names, probably their relatives, and some even cried.
But there were only three people who got off the personnel carrier.
The rest are corpses.
"Ah! Sonny! Are you in the car? Sonny, please say something back to my mother! My mother will never hit you again! No more! Ah..."
"Oh... Xiaosong, we agreed to meet together in Fenghou!"
"We pay so many tax dollars every year, but we raise them all like trash. We can't even save them, so what's the use of them!"
"Damn it! I finally figured it out. The purpose of all these new and old villages is to serve as a scapegoat for Fenghou City and as bait for those monsters!"
"Yes! We are going to find Marshal Zhang for an explanation!"
…
in the crowd.
There are old women crying loudly for their children, and there are also young ladies looking forward to their husbands coming home;
There were traders who complained softly about the soldiers, and there were also hooligans who spoke up and denounced injustice.
The cavalry company and the transport team did not refute, did not speak, or even paid attention. Instead, the soldiers on duty in the camp took away the two troublemaking hooligans.
Du Huaishan heard another message from it:
There are many tuncheng, which should be built around the main city and are satellite cities.
No wonder Fenghou’s main force arrived so quickly when something happened in Xintun City yesterday!
What a pity.
The power of demons and ghosts is too terrifying.
But it must be admitted.
If those two gangsters hadn't lied, they might have been allowed to tell the truth!
Demons and ghosts like to eat people. The more people there are, the more demons and ghosts they will attract.
The population of big cities is highly dense. If there are too many monsters and ghosts gathering nearby, on the one hand, it will increase the pressure on the city defense troops. On the other hand, it will seriously hinder the communication between the city and the outside world, such as:
Transportation, commerce, communications, I don’t know this chaotic world...
