Sui Xiong was not proficient in history, but as a netizen, it did not matter if he did not understand history, as long as the netizens did.
When he was chatting with the netizens, he once heard an allusion: In ancient times, there was a tribe that didn't know whether to be called "Miao" or "Youmiao" and didn't obey the orders of the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor was Shun in Yao Shunyu. He sent a group of burly men carrying axes and shields to the place near the tribe and held a military exercise. Then, the tribe obeyed.
There was an allusion to this matter, which was called "Xiuwen De". Until now, Sui Xiong still didn't understand why the armed maneuver was considered a "Xiuwen" virtue. If this was considered a "Xiuwen" virtue, could it be that killing the whole family was considered a "Xiuwen" virtue?
When he heard the story, he felt that it was extremely pretentious and awesome. He had always been fascinated by it. When he heard Palin's words, he couldn't help but think of this story and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he added to Palin's plan.
"Not only do we have to display the superior weapons and armor near the portal, but we also have to send troops to the square of the portal to train … No, the place is a little small, so we might not be able to display it … Alright then, we'll set up a large projection there and show everyone the scene of the drill!"
Palin was taken aback and asked, "Drill? What's that? "
Sui Xiong then remembered that there was no concept of maneuvers in this world. In this world, if one wanted to train an army, other than training hard in the barracks, they would have to fight monsters or bandits. Of course, under the right circumstances, they could also organize large-scale hunts and use the hunts as a military exercise.
All in all, their military concepts were quite backward!
What he didn't know was that this was also the case in ancient times on Earth. It wasn't because their military concepts were outdated, but because they didn't have enough resources to support military exercises in the modern sense.
Injuries were unavoidable in a military exercise. The medical standards of ancient times were far behind that of modern times. The mortality rate of injured soldiers was extremely high, so no one was willing to suffer such torment.
However, this was not a problem for the Republic of Northwest. Not only did they have enough medical teams, but they also had Sui Xiong's full support. No matter how serious the injuries were, Sui Xiong could personally treat them. With him watching over them, it wouldn't be easy for those soldiers to die by accident.
With a reliable security guarantee, of course, they could carry out exercises.
Therefore, Sui Xiong gathered the military officials of the Republic of Northwest and announced this matter.
"That's not a problem." Evil God Reynold, who was almost equivalent to a military chief, said, "But we need to spend some time to prepare. We need to gather all the troops and change their equipment. Only after they have completely adapted to the new equipment can we start the 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'll take about two months."
Sui Xiong naturally understood that what Reynold said made sense, but he still couldn't help but sigh.
It actually needed two months … The army of mortals was really too inconvenient!
If this was the Oracle Corps, they would be able to start training the next day at the latest. If they were in a hurry, they could even start the exercise as soon as they made the decision.
But he also knew that Oracles and mortals were completely different. In essence, they were just the manifestation of Divine Power. There was not much meaning in training them. It was fine for the elite Oracles with souls, but for the mass-produced Oracles who were cannon fodder, any training was meaningless.
Therefore, in the God Kingdom of the gods, no one would waste time and Divine Power to train those cannon fodder who were born and died with them.
In fact, in terms of efficiency, the fastest and best way for the gods to send out a large number of Oracles to deal with the war in the human world. But this would not only consume a large amount of Divine Power, but it was also easy to cause public anger. Everyone was honestly training the army of mortals. If you directly sent out an army of Oracles, were you showing off your muscles? Or did you want to blind everyone's eyes?
This was like a rich man with clothes full of money, gold and silver, coming alone to a poor area with chaotic security, and then laughing three times and shouting, "I'm so rich."
Well, basically, other than asking for a beating, there was no other word to describe it.
Sui Xiong certainly didn't want to do this, so he could only wait patiently for the army of mortals to be slowly trained.
Fortunately, before that, he could find something else to do.
For example, improving the process.
He went to the metallurgical technology research team led by Palin, asked them about the progress of their research, and visited the new armor they had made.
Compared with the traditional armor, these new armors were a bit too simple. There were almost no decorative patterns or items on the whole body of the armor. The places where the armor pieces were connected were only with strong leather and metal ropes. There was no sense of decoration at all.
Judging from the few samples, this kind of armor was really simple and unadorned. Not to mention the simple style, even the color looked gray and dull — because Palin had specially treated the surface of the armor to prevent the steel from rusting. This grayish color was the result of the anti-rust treatment. It was not good-looking, but it was very effective.
Sui Xiong carefully looked at these armors and personally tested their effect. Compared with the samples taken as reference, he was generally quite satisfied.
In terms of quality, of course, these armors were not as good as those made with Divine Power or magic, but they were much better than the exquisite armors made by ordinary craftsmen. If they were used to arm soldiers, it would be enough to make any army in the world jealous. After all, many knights didn't have such a complete set of heavy armor!
But after carefully thinking for a while, he felt that this armor seemed to be lacking something, and there was still room for further improvement.
(What is it lacking?)
Sui Xiong didn't hinder Palin's research. He stayed quietly on the side, looking at a gray new mass-produced armor and another shining breastplate, wondering what could be further improved with this new armor.
He pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an idea.
Looking at this new armor, it was completely bare, just like a brand new piece of white paper. With such a piece of white paper, why not draw something? For example, put some magic patterns on it?
He told his idea to Palin and others. Palin and others looked at each other and finally said that they had thought about this, but they couldn't do it.
"What? Is it difficult to do? " Sui Xiong was a little surprised. "It should not be difficult to engrave some magic patterns on such a smooth and smooth armor …"
"The point is … we don't know how." Palin said with a wry smile. "The enchantment technology of a magician needs to start during the production of the armor. If you want to enchant the armor after it is completed, you either have to ask a senior magician to cast advanced magic, or find a rune magician to engrave the runes. The cost of the former is too high, and the loss outweighs the gain; the latter … where can we find a rune magician? "
Sui Xiong finally understood, so he patted his chest and said that he would take care of it. Then he immediately set off to find a rune magician.
