Chapter 404: Marching and Logistics (1)

The imperial city is in a military camp near the palace.

The weather this year is pretty good, and there are no continuous blizzards, but it snows lightly for five days in ten days.

It's contradictory enough to say.

It is a disaster if the snow falls heavily, but if there is no snow, it will affect the harvest next year.

The situation is quite good now. The Imperial Heaven Supervision has predicted that the climate will be the best in five years, and it is better than this year.

It was also snowing today, but under the tents in the military camp, there was a lively scene.

This passionate thing really means literally.

In the huge tent area, more than a dozen large pots were set up, and there was a raging fire underneath. Many soldiers were wearing thin clothes and shovels to fry things.

It looks like flour, because it emits a smell of wheat from time to time.

Not only those who make fried powder, but also many people who hold bags of fried powder.

The bags are like a piece of sausage, filled with bags after bag, and piled up in wooden boxes next to them.

Liu Mingqi was next to the wooden box. He picked up a full bag and put it into the basin next to him.

The cold water instantly eroded the bag, and soon the bag became heavier.

When you open the bag again, the powder inside turns into lumps of condensation.

The boy picked it up and took a few bites, nodded first, and shook his head.

"This bag needs to be improved." He said to several Mohist craftsmen around him: "It is best to use leather to make outer bags, otherwise in a humid place in the southwest, if you walk out of the rainforest for a day, you can't eat anything. What's the point?"

"But cowhide and sheepskin are too scarce. The military rushes to book, but we can't get it at all." A Mohist craftsman said with a bitter face.

"Who said it must be cowhide and sheepskin?" Liu Mingqi said with regret: "It's the skin of an animal, isn't pigskin okay?"

"Pig skin is softer, and its quality is not as good as cowhide and sheepskin..."

"I don't care about these. As long as it is animal skin, it will definitely be much better than these cloths." Liu Mingqi said, "You said it is difficult, but what is not difficult to do? Is the Mohist family complaining about the problem now, instead of actively studying it? If so, you have really lost all the faces of the Mohist ancestors!"

Several Mohist craftsmen blushed, but could not refute at all.

First of all, Liu Mingqi was right. The Mo family is known for being tools. Now that Prince Yu has issued an order, they cannot do it for the time being, so they should be scolded.

And more importantly, Prince Yu is a god-like man who creates various strange techniques. In the manufacturing of tools, he is simply crushing their existence.

Isn’t that a few words from such a master scolding them?

"I don't care what you do, I need to pay the budget, materials, and people, but one thing is that before January, I will see the preliminary version of the skin." Liu Mingqi said: "I don't want any excuses, just ask you... Is it OK?"

"OK!"

The Mo family official, led, gritted his teeth and agreed.

It is related to the honor of the Mohist school, and he has to agree if he doesn't agree.

Otherwise, if it spreads, how can the Mo family behave?

"good!"

Liu Mingqi nodded, "If you do well, I will open a laboratory for you, and you can choose the contents yourself, and provide any funds required by Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Your Highness is serious!" Several Mo family members immediately became breathing rapidly.

"certainly!"

Liu Mingqi said: "You guys do it well, I will reward you with some rewards!"

"Here!"

The few people bowed happily: "I will definitely complete the task!"

Although it was the same reply, their current tone and mood were completely different from before.

As we all know, the base camp of the Mohist family is in the Ministry of Works, which is a famous poor place, which makes the Mohist family unable to increase its scale, and they cannot do some of the experiments they want to complete.

Previously, Prince Yu tuned 300 Mohist children to study some "steam engines". The luxurious methods made people's eyes turn red.

The same goes for no restrictions. As long as they want, they can prepare everything immediately, no matter how much they have, they don’t care about what they want. Anyway, they have whatever they want.

Such an experimental environment is simply what they dream of.

The remaining Mo family members really dreamed of treating the same as them, but they didn't expect that Prince Yu would throw him out today.

They were sure that as long as they brought this promise back, their teachers, uncles, and brothers would all go crazy to study this food-filled bag.

At that time, if you gather the power of the Mohist school, you will definitely succeed!

...

Seeing a few Mo family members running out happily, Liu Mingjing was sobbing, "Mingqi, are you giving this too easily? It's just a skin bag for fried noodles, there's no need to give such good conditions, right?"

Liu Mingqi shook her head, "You don't understand, this is not just a sacrificial bag, but a training to train them to actively fulfill my requirements. The efficiency of the Mo family is too low, and it needs to be changed!"

Of course, there is another point, that is, Liu Mingqi is indeed giving away money.

He sent a laboratory to the Mo family. The Mo family worked hard to do research. The people who benefited were not the people in Dakang in the entire country?

But this is not something you can say, otherwise no one will cherish what you get for nothing.

If you don’t believe it, try it. Give a little kid a piece of meat a day. If he eats too much, he will throw it away.

But you have to do a hundred sit-ups every day to eat a piece of meat. When he gets the meat, he doesn't know how much he cherishes it.

Now the two brothers watched the imperial guards cook, which was naturally our army's magical artifact fried noodles.

After mixing 70% wheat, 30% soybean, corn or sorghum, mixing 0.5% salt, you can cook the fried noodles.

If the humidity is right, the fried noodles can be kept for at least one month.

When you want to eat, you can eat it by soaking it in water.

You can even drink a sip of water and a bite of fried noodles in a container.

This is simple and convenient, without fire, and can also replenish calories and nutrition to a certain extent, making it most suitable for difficult environments and during marching.

Back then, our army was in Goryeo, which was extremely cold, and it was supported by this thing in the first two years. Compared with the food of the coalition forces, it was simply incomparable to even the garbage among the garbage.

Not only food, but also clothing, and weapons...

Looking back on this great war of resistance, it was hard for Liu Mingqi to imagine how we persevered and fought an equal share with the coalition forces?

Well, the coalition forces here, not including Nan Gaoli, are just a joke in front of our army, comparable to the role of Comrade Chang Kaishen's transport team captain.

So in many cases, what determines the direction of war is not the external conditions, but the inner heart of a person.

On the one hand, Liu Mingqi equipped them with various equipment, and on the other hand, he also wanted to receive the most rigorous training.

Only in this way can they have at least half of the courage of our army when encountering extreme difficulties. Even if it is only one-third, it will sweep everything and crush all unsubmissive existences in this era.

These days, Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin have trained the imperial guards during the day, and at night they come to Prince Yu's mansion with Liu Mingjing to listen to Liu Mingqi tell them various modern tactics and various training methods.

After this year's special operations, their way of thinking has changed, so it is easier to understand when hearing Liu Mingqi's new tactical strategy.

But even so, they can gain a lot every time.

During the day, Liu Mingqi began to prepare for various marches and wars.

Chow mein is just one of them.

A few days ago, Liu Mingqi assigned a task to the Mo family for them to make aluminum-plated iron sheets.

A smart person can tell what Liu Mingqi is going to do at a glance.

That's right.

It's just canned meat.

Simple iron must be corroded, so the packaging shells of canned lunch meat are tin-plated iron sheets, which can not only preserve food for a long time, but also prevent them from deteriorating.

But the problem is that if the process of "tin" is not up to standard, it is easy to produce toxins in such a sealed and corroded environment for a long time.

With Dakang's current technology, it must not be as fine as less than 200mg/kg. For the sake of long-term safety, Liu Mingqi chose aluminum-plated iron sheet.

As for how to plating aluminum, Liu Mingqi, a PhD in physics and chemistry, of course, gave process standards, but how to do it well depends on their efforts.

The young man simply gave a research reward of one million taels, which also made the Mo family start the research day and night just like he was injected with chicken blood.

As long as the aluminum-plated iron sheet can be studied, it will be much easier to seal and steam and sterilize.

Of course.

If you canned meat, Liu Mingqi can't make all the meat. She still needs to add sweet potato starch to maintain half of the meat content, which is considered to be very kind.

In addition to canned meat, there are also various canned fruits, which can also be taken out.

At that time, not only the military will purchase a large amount of money, but also the caravans traveling far away, especially the marine trade fleets, will definitely purchase them in large quantities.

So look!

Many scientific results research can be applied to real life, thus generating a large amount of economic value, and then in turn promote the development of scientific and technological research.

This is a virtuous cycle.

In ancient my country, there were many inventions and creations. Why did it become weaker the more it went?

The reason is also very simple.

Because people who invent and create cannot get practical benefits, naturally few people are willing to do these thankless things.
