Chapter 1008 Anti-epidemic protective gear and diving warriors

The corpse collection team sent by the Julu Army entered the scene with a full set of equipment, including stretchers, ropes, vehicles for transporting corpses, shovels and hoes for excavation and other tools. The most special equipment for individual soldiers is the mask.

Each Julu sergeant wore a palm-sized activated carbon mask on his face. This unique attire aroused great curiosity among the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Li Mengxi's equipment is more complete. Li Mengxi has one of the few complete sets of protective clothing. The protective clothing includes a tung oil coat that is tightly wrapped from head to hand and feet, a filter, and a breathing mask. The whole set of equipment looks like that of later generations.

Chemical protective clothing is almost the same.

Because there was no rubber, tung oil was found as a substitute. After the cloth was brushed with a layer of tung oil, it had good air tightness and completely isolated the outside air.

The structure that plays the main role in the protective clothing system is the gas filter tank. Its structure is an iron can with upper and lower openings built in activated carbon particles. The upper opening is connected to a hose, and the hose is connected to the breathing mask. The breathing mask is glued on

On the face, cover the entire mouth and nose area tightly so that there are no gaps.

Through this activated carbon tank, the outside air is filtered by activated carbon before being breathed. If there are germs in the air, they can be absorbed by the filter.

Li Mengxi was wearing this jumpsuit that was wrapped like a bear, and he was carrying a big can on his back, and the can was connected to his face. He looked weird. When he was walking around and inspecting, this strange attire attracted countless eyes.

Protective measures are always useful. Wearing this outfit, the disgusting putrid smell emitted by the corpse can no longer be smelled.

When we inspected the edge of the city-protecting ditch, there were many dead bodies piled up in the ditch. The Julu sergeants were cleaning up the corpses in the ditch. The soldiers remembered the instructions and never touched the corpses directly with their hands. The trench was too deep and no one wanted to do it.

When he went down to the ditch full of dead people, the soldiers stood on the edge of the ditch and grabbed the dead body with a long sword and dragged it up alive. Li Mengxi came by chance. He happened to come across a dead body with a high degree of decay in its stomach and was covered by a long sword.

The hook tore his stomach, and his intestines spilled out. When he accidentally glanced at it, Li Mengxi's stomach was churning with nausea.

Look at the soldiers who were responsible for fishing out the corpses. The soldiers wore activated carbon masks, so they probably couldn't smell the strong smell. However, none of the soldiers looked good-looking. Except for some perverts, there were a few guys who hooked up the corpses.

He laughed happily even after he died, which was extremely perverted. Li Mengxi immediately went over and scolded him.

During the subsequent inspection process, Li Mengxi found that cleaning up the corpse was quite troublesome. Relying on simple tools, the cleaning efficiency was low, and the job of cleaning up the corpse was very special. Li Mengxi didn't know what others were doing. Anyway, he saw the hooked intestines himself.

The battered body almost vomited out.

Thinking about it, contact with corpses has a great impact on morale. Killing in a lake of flesh and blood during battle may not frighten the soldiers into a nervous breakdown, but seeing mountains of corpses is a different situation. Otherwise, there are many battlefields in ancient times.

The act of building a Jingguan must be useful, so this Yingwei spread.

On the battlefield of cold weapons, they fought brutally for a whole day, but the soldiers were still able to eat. After carrying the corpse for a while, the soldiers were so disgusted that they vomited out the food. At the critical moment, one more meal and one less meal were reflected in the

On the battlefield, if a soldier has an extra meal, he will have stronger physical strength and can fight longer, but if he has a shorter meal, he will not be able to fight for longer. This may be the chance of victory or defeat.

Due to the lack of tools for handling corpses, the soldiers had to face the horrific corpses. As a result, the morale of the soldiers was greatly affected. They could not eat well and had nightmares at night. As a result, their morale decreased and their combat effectiveness decreased. As a result, the overall decline became

The last straw that broke the camel's back.

Li Mengxi thought that the method of frightening the enemy was to use the five senses. When dealing with dead bodies, the soldiers were affected by the corpses, and the way of influence came from the five senses.

Seeing the corpses lying around with severed limbs in a mess, the eyes are frightened; smelling the bad putrid smell, the smell is frightened; touching the disgusting touch of the rotting corpses, the touch is frightening; hearing mosquitoes and flies buzzing around the dead bodies, the hearing is frightened.

It's so shocking. The only sense of taste has no influence here.

There are ways to reduce the mental impact of corpses.

Regarding vision, wrap the corpse in a body bag or shroud so that the corpse cannot be seen in a mess. The visual impact is much smaller and the soldiers will be less affected. When clearing the battlefield, bury the corpse in time to prevent the accumulation of dead corpses.

, the soldiers will not have shocking emotional fluctuations, and the psychological impact on the soldiers will be smaller.

Regarding the sense of smell, the Julu Army always has activated carbon masks on hand. Wearing masks when handling corpses can greatly reduce the impact of bad smells on morale.

From the perspective of hearing, a battlefield littered with dead bodies will inevitably be full of flies and insects, which can be counteracted with lime.

In terms of touch, no matter how brave a person is, if he touches a soft and cool dead body, his heart will go crazy. Therefore, direct contact should be minimized as much as possible.

Li Mengxi can now be said to be able to learn and apply knowledge. He once systematically summarized the categories of methods to deter the enemy. Since then, all issues related to morale, psychology, perception, etc. have a reference method.

Starting from the five senses, Li Mengxi easily and comprehensively solved the adverse factors in the process of handling corpses.

In the entire processing system, the shroud is easy to deal with. It can be magnified by too many obstructions such as rags, captured enemy clothing, and even straw mats. It is even easier for the Julu Army to cover up the corpse than other armies.

The Julu Army had a unique paper-making technology. When marching and fighting, they made hundreds of paper bags to carry corpses. The paper bags were light and convenient, and they did not take up too much load or transportation capacity. One car was enough.

Carrying hundreds or thousands of bags is enough to clean the battlefield.

In terms of disposal strategy, it is not difficult to implement the strategy of avoiding large accumulation of corpses and burying them in time.

When it comes to [avoiding direct contact], this is not only a need for epidemic prevention, but also a need to reduce psychological impact. However, it has been observed that it is difficult to efficiently dispose of corpses without direct contact using the existing tools.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Take the position of the city protection trench as an example. The trench is deep and steep. If you don’t go down into the ditch, it will be difficult to move the body out and go down into the ditch.

, it is necessary to have close contact with the corpse. When I stood on the edge of the trench and tried to use tools to fish the corpse up, I also saw that Chang Ge used it clumsily and fragmented the corpse hook. The scene was extremely horrifying, which had a visual and psychological impact.

great.

The tools already available in the army are inefficient and difficult to use when dealing with corpses. The simplest way is to add additional tools. Li Mengxi first thought of tools such as grapple hooks. The efficiency of grapple hooks is quite high, but like Chang Ge,

It was just as easy to break the corpse into pieces. Li Mengxi just thought about the scene of the corpse being disemboweled with an iron hook in his mind, and he felt a chill.

The grappling hook method was not very good, so I gave it up.

Li Mengxi was inexperienced in working and could not think of a perfect solution, so he called the nearby soldiers over and invited everyone to discuss it together.

With the collective efforts, a method was soon found.

The method given by the soldiers is that if you want to avoid messing up the corpse and not coming into contact with the corpse, you can send people to the trench, hold a rope, tie the hands, feet or neck of the corpse, and then the people above will pull the rope.

Pull up the corpses one by one. In this way, a small number of people are needed to come into contact with the corpses. These few people contact the corpses for others, and others are not needed, so that the number of people who directly contact the corpses can be controlled to a very small number.

within the range.

This method is not only suitable for complex terrains such as trenches, but is universal on any battlefield.

On a battlefield, only a few dozen people, wearing full protective clothing, are responsible for close contact with corpses. These people are responsible for going down to the ditch to tie the corpses firmly with ropes, put them in body bags, and dispose of them like others.

The easy-to-move method only adds this one step, making it possible to handle it efficiently without touching the body at the same time.

Not only is efficiency improved, this method also greatly improves safety.

According to the logistics capabilities of the Julu Army, it is impossible to equip top-level protective clothing on a large scale. It is difficult to provide each soldier with an activated carbon mask. It is extremely dangerous for soldiers to come into close contact with corpses under the protective conditions of only one mask.

.

And if there are top-level protection preparations, the soldiers wear tightly wrapped tung oil protective clothing, carry an activated carbon filter on the back, wear a breathing mask on the mouth and nose, and wear disposable gloves on the hands. With such protection, they can be safe even in the plague.

But at the same time, such protective equipment is easy to find, but difficult to equip on a large scale.

The most cost-effective and optimal solution has emerged. A small number of soldiers wearing protective clothing are put into the front line of contact with corpses. These people complete the most dangerous work and are responsible for removing the clothes and armor from the corpses.

This group of people were also responsible for bagging and tying up the corpses. All the dangerous work that required close contact with the corpses was done by this group of soldiers in protective clothing. Other soldiers only needed to pull the corpses away.

Burying it up not only optimizes the process, but also greatly reduces the possibility of contracting the plague during the process.

The army already has several sets of top-level protective equipment. The purpose of Li Mengxi equipping these equipment is to save his own life in the event of a plague outbreak; and secondly, in case he gets lost in a place full of miasma.

In desperate situations, there are several sets of anti-epidemic and anti-virus equipment that can help you survive in desperate situations; third, when a plague breaks out, you must have protective equipment if you want to safely enter and leave the epidemic area.

In the past, the army had prepared about ten sets of protective suits, which were enough to save lives, break through miasma areas, and travel into and out of epidemic areas. However, this time it involves cleaning the battlefield. The heavy workload of cleaning the battlefield requires a lot of manpower. Only a dozen sets are needed.

There are not enough protective suits. Multiply this number ten times to get enough.

Logistics problems arise once again. With extremely limited transportation capacity, all the transportation capacity in the army may not be enough if used to transport food. Allocating the transportation capacity to transport any other materials may not be worth the gain, so any additional increase may not be worth the gain.

Extra supplies must be budgeted carefully.

In order to improve the cost performance of additional materials, improving the versatility of materials is one of the important methods.

Preparing for the plague is very important, but bulky protective clothing takes up too much transportation capacity, and protective clothing is a very special material with almost no other uses and no versatility. The cost-effectiveness cannot be improved, and the transportation capacity cannot be fully utilized.

Li Mengxi tried his best to think about what uses protective clothing could have besides epidemic prevention. The only thing he could think of was that protective clothing has a tight structure and is naturally suitable for rainproof and windproof. Therefore, it can be used as both a raincoat and cold-proof clothing.

item.

But a new problem has arisen. Protective clothing is a relatively delicate item. There should not be a single hole in the whole body of a protective suit. A slight damage will render the protective suit completely useless. If it is used as a raincoat, use

It will be damaged after a few times, and expensive materials will be used lightly, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Besides, it is not good to use it as warm clothing. The protective clothing is too tight. It is safe because it is tightly wrapped and isolated from the outside air. The plague mostly breaks out in the warm spring and summer. If the protective clothing is made into cold clothing filled with cold-resistant materials,

, in summer, wearing heavy protective clothing is simply torture. At the same time, using protective clothing as cold-resistant clothing also has the disadvantage of being easily damaged.

The versatility of protective clothing seems to be only in terms of clothing and sealing. It can protect against cold and rain, but it is not cost-effective. The problem has reached a dead end.

At the end, Li Mengxi reluctantly thought of a usage that was consistent with the structure of the protective clothing.

Clothes, clothes with excellent sealing properties that are tightly sealed from head to toe, and clothes with filters. Those that meet these three points made Li Mengxi think of a diving suit.

The characteristics of protective clothing are very similar to those of diving suits. They are both tightly sealed and have tanks. They can be used universally with just a few modifications.

To make protective clothing into diving equipment, both the clothing itself and the tank are not a big problem. You can use cloth and tung oil to make a waterproof one-piece clothing, and you can also use a thin iron tank to make a usable air tank.

The difficulty lies in the mask. The mask of the protective suit can only cover the mouth and nose, which is not enough for underwater use. A helmet must be added.

It is not difficult to make a waterproof helmet. Wood, iron, copper, and clay can all meet the requirements of being waterproof and wearable, but all of these materials cannot be seen, so they are not practical.

The only practical materials are transparent materials, that is, crystal or glass. Crystal is difficult to find, and glass is difficult to make. In addition, diving helmets require complex processing and require a large amount of materials for processing. Scarce natural crystals are difficult to meet the needs of use.

,So, if you want to make a diving helmet, you must have a glass industry.

Li Mengxi still has no idea how to prepare glass. Assuming that one day the glass industry matures and can produce transparent diving helmets in large quantities, and the military always has more than a hundred sets of anti-epidemic diving equipment, then a hundred-person scale can lurk underwater for a long time.

How useful can soldiers be?

Perhaps, in gathering intelligence, special operations, assassinations, poisoning, etc., elite soldiers can play an unpredictable role by hiding underwater in diving suits with oxygen bottles for a long time.

One person can poison, set fire, detect, and infiltrate to assassinate. One person can poison only one well, arson can only burn one place, detect only one corner, and infiltrate can only infiltrate all the way. Assassinate alone, success is possible

It can only be considered slim.

And there are hundreds of divers who can poison an entire army, set fires that can burn down an entire camp, conduct reconnaissance in all directions, and penetrate every hole. If there are hundreds of elite soldiers, and a hundred people work together to assassinate, the possibility of success will be greatly increased.

There is no doubt that when protective clothing can be turned into diving equipment at any time, its cost-effectiveness will greatly increase.
