Late at night, Li Mengxi took his brother back to sleep.

Liu Bei thought it was still early and planned to continue practicing.

When Li Mengxi left, there was a muffled sound of footsteps falling behind him.

Even without looking at it, Li Mengxi could roughly judge the level of the queue by listening to the regularity of his footsteps.

Under the dim light of the torch, Li Mengxi sat at the front of the car, with a thick and heavy linen spread on his legs, and he hurriedly picked up his pen.

This day is September 5th, and it is another day full of harvest.

There are things that I have realized and learned by myself, there are things that I have summarized from others, and there are things that have been mentioned by others.

"【Carrying gear related】

Technical details for the main part of the carrying gear:

One of the components is the backpack. The key technical points of the backpack are: first, the backpack is square and not round, because the square basket can fit the back; second, when the basket is knitted, the branch stubble is knitted outside, because the rainproof bag is placed in the basket.

, The rainproof bag is light and easy to break, preventing snagging; third, the basket is best made of bamboo, which can weigh several pounds; fourth, use the same method to synchronize the shoulder straps of the armor and the straps of the backpack, and also use wide straps on the left and right shoulders

Staggered carrying method. Carrying the basket also requires a belt that can be tied around the waist to stabilize the basket body.

The second component is the rainproof bag. The rainproof bag is used to store bedding, clothing and dry food.

The details that need to be improved on the rainproof bag are: first, sew a piece of cloth at the girth to cover the gap at the girth.

Secondly, the sutures on the bag body cannot block rainwater, so the sutures need to be brushed with tung oil.

As a result, tung oil has become a material in short supply in the military, causing people to step up their purchases."

"Regarding the traveling caravans, the caravans provide supplies for the army, which makes them even more important.

Now to summarize the various requirements, there are always the following:

When craftsmen make carts, the wheels must be made of dry wood. Dry wood is hard to find in the wild, so it requires purchasing, and dry locust wood is one item.

sewing.

The military medical department needs a large amount of alcohol for backup, so it is necessary to purchase drinks.

There are also hatchets, hoes, shovels, and sickles, which are production tools.

Cloth, salt, these are military equipment.

Livestock, oxen, mules, and packhorses can be used to pull carts.

Livestock and poultry, pigs, dogs, chickens and sheep, etc., can be killed firstly to supplement the meat needs of the wounded soldiers camp and the women and children camp; secondly, pigs and sheep, etc., are indispensable for experimenting with intestinal sutures.

There is a huge shortage of pallet trucks in the army. If we can buy pallet trucks, it can alleviate the urgent need.

Tung oil, rain bags are needed urgently, and fire attacks are also needed.

When I left Zhuozhou, I didn't bring many herbs with me, so I had to buy more from them.

Bamboo is needed to make baskets.

It is best to use straw for braiding straw shoes.

The urgent supplies that the Tongde army now needs to purchase from the traveling caravans are: dried locust wood, needlework, scissors, hatchets, hoes, shovels, sickles, cloth, salt, oxen, donkeys, mules, pack horses, war horses, and pigs

, dogs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, carts, tung oil, wine, herbs, wheat straw, bamboo.

Counting various items, there are twenty-five items in total."

After sorting through the needs of the army, Li Mengxi now clearly realized how weak the rebel army's logistics was, lacking everything.

Keep writing.

"How to use portable equipment.

There are two important things to carry with you. One is to protect your bedding and clothing, and the other is to prevent them from dangling.

For this purpose, two methods must be used.

In order to prevent the debris in the basket from swaying around, you can tie it tightly with a rope, and then stuff the basket with wheat straw to fill the empty space. In this way, the debris in the basket will no longer sway around.

Wheat straw is light and useful, not superfluous and useless for carrying heavy loads.”

"The method of carrying weapons on carrying equipment.

The manuscript was swept into the tube, and in the interlayer of the mat, long and short weapons were placed.

The gun barrel is inserted into the interlayer and is firm and stable. When ready to be used, it can be pulled out immediately.

The same goes for swords.

The method of carrying weapons is either hand-held or carried on the back.

The carrying method is more labor-saving and frees your hands."

"Covering a person's hands is like an ape's tail, which has the function of stabilizing and balancing."

"When running, if you hold a gun or a sword in your hand, you cannot move your hand. Therefore, you cannot balance your center of gravity and cannot move as fast as possible.

When you put your sword and spear in the interlayer of the mat and carry it forward on your back, your hands are free, and there is nothing in your hands to encumber you. Therefore, when running and attacking, your arms can calmly adjust their balance, so you can cut as quickly as possible and save effort.

Taking schoolbags as an example, I remember that when I was young, I couldn’t run fast with my schoolbag in my hands. But when I wanted to run fast, I had to carry my schoolbag on my back and I could run like crazy.

This is true for schoolbags, this is true for luggage, this is true for carrying tools, and this is true for weapons.

Therefore, the new method of carrying weapons and weapons can quickly increase the strength of the warriors who are attacking by 10%, and can reduce the physical fatigue of the warriors who are rushing by 10%."

"With this method alone, if a soldier can attack sixty miles every day, with this method, it can be increased to sixty-six miles."

Finished recording all the traveling gear.

"In addition, two departments were added to the craftsman camp, one is the bamboo crafts department and the other is the embroidery department, specializing in making portable tools."

"I know that there is not enough candy in the army and there will be a big need for it in the future.

Make a special boxcar, which has a wooden frame with several layers and layers of drawers, which can be used for mass production of candy."

"Inspired by the maltose van, the structure of the craftsmanship camp needs to be changed.

The craftsmen's camp originally had the big job of making carts, and there were many miscellaneous jobs. Now in this life, the big job of making maltose wagons is a miscellaneous job, but the craftsmen are scattered and unorganized, and they cannot unite their efforts.

Therefore, among the miscellaneous work craftsmen in the craftsmen's camp, a small team was set up to do more heavy chores such as boxcars."

"You need a car to raise piglets."

"Guan Yu said, "Swords should avoid fire. If the blade is burned, it will be destroyed."

What's the explanation for this? We can't explain it. We'll have to find out the explanation later."

"From what I saw during Liu Bei's military training, I know that military training instructors should give orders with a straight military posture, and should not stand without posture or be crooked and without manners.

It’s September, the fifth day of the lunar month.

complete."

Finished writing.

When Li Mengxi raised his head, he discovered that the long roll of linen cloth had been dragged to the ground and piled up into a large roll.

Writing with cloth is still cumbersome, and even more cumbersome than cloth is a writing brush.

Li Mengxi's brush is an ordinary brush with a finger-thick tip.

Therefore, no matter how you write it, the characters are large and take up a lot of space.

It is said that there is a very small and thin brush that can write in regular script.

But no matter how thin the brush is, the characters written are still very large.

Paper is expensive, and if the characters are smaller, a lot of paper can be saved. At the same time, one page can record many words, so it is much more efficient whether recording or reading.

Li Mengxi misses the ballpoint pen a little bit.

The ballpoint pen nib steel ball that has ridiculed the people of Sinian for decades. People say that Sinian cannot even produce a small ballpoint pen nib.

Later, a certain giant steel company ruthlessly produced one furnace. As a result, several so-called foreign high-tech companies that were very powerful and could produce pen tip steel that Sinian could not produce went bankrupt overnight.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ballpoint pens are good things. We can’t make small steel balls like 0.5 and 0.7 in the previous life.

So, could a ballpoint pen that was enlarged ten times and had a diameter of five millimeters be made in the late Han Dynasty?

If it doesn't work, magnify it ten times and make a ballpoint pen with a tip diameter of five centimeters. A pen is as thick as a gun. Don't worry about whether it can write. Just ask, can it be made with the processing accuracy of the late Han Dynasty technology?

If we can make a big, clumsy ball "gun" with a pen tip diameter of five centimeters, then as long as the technology is feasible, we can continue to improve it and slowly improve it to five millimeters.

Ballpoint pens, even with a pen tip of 5 mm, are enough to replace brushes on a large scale.

Because it is a hard pen after all, writing is easy.

The most difficult part of ballpoint pen technology is the pen tip, which is a round steel ball. Others, such as ink and pen barrel, are not so difficult. A steel ball with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a steel ball with a diameter of 5 mm.

What about five centimeters in diameter? Could the craftsmen of the late Han Dynasty make a steel ball with a diameter of five centimeters, and this steel ball would be closer to a perfect circle and roll flexibly?

The answer is that there are many skilled craftsmen who can make an iron ball that goes very far.

For example, the Tang Dynasty ivory ghost ball was carved from ivory and had dozens of layers of ivory inside and outside.

This processing difficulty is thousands of times more difficult than that of an ordinary iron ball.
