It's over. Li Mengxi, who yawned repeatedly, couldn't bear the sleepiness and went back to sleep.

Halfway through, Li Mengxi turned back again.

"By the way, General Guan, I asked the potter to burn the pottery all night. When it's dawn, go and collect it, install the arrow shaft, and see if it can be used."

"I've made a note of it, go and have a rest." Guan Yu waved his hand to chase them away.

After Li Mengxi left, Liu, Guan, and Zhang continued to discuss.

Li Mengxi said that as a general, you cannot do odd jobs, especially you cannot lift antlers.

Li Mengxi's words were so strange that Liu Guan and Zhang all laughed when he mentioned them.

It doesn’t matter whether I lift the antlers or not.

However, the miscellaneous tasks in the army were given priority to spearmen, then sword and shield soldiers, then bows and crossbows, and then cavalry. Liu Guan and Zhang Shen believed that this was a way to preserve military strength.

Thinking about the past, it was not so detailed. When there were chores, anyone who was free would be dragged to do the chores, regardless of whether he was a crossbowman or a sword and shield soldier.

As Li Mengxi said, when there is nothing going on, there is no difference. When something goes wrong, the sword and shield soldiers were sent to pull rocks the day before, and they were so tired that their whole body ached. Then, the enemy army happened to attack the next day.

In the battle formation, the sword and shield soldiers with sore backs and sore hands can easily imagine their fate when they encounter an enemy in perfect condition.

Breaking down [the order of labor before and after], just this small point, may be able to reduce hundreds or thousands of casualties on the battlefield.

After all, Xia Houyuan just didn't understand the labor issue and did unnecessary things, so he was fired by Huang Zhong.

One night passed.

The next day, October 11th.

It's not completely bright.

"Chuck--chuck--chuck--"

The clear crow of a rooster sounded, and after one rooster crow, more roosters began to crow.

Because the car that raised chickens and ducks was behind Li Mengxi's van, it was easier to watch to prevent people from stealing eggs. Therefore, when the rooster crows, it is like crowing into Li Mengxi's ears.

Li Mengxi woke up immediately. He didn't remember anything when he woke up because he was too sleepy.

The rooster was still clucking, and Li Mengxi sat up angrily, "It crows before dawn! It crows before dawn! It's called Xi Niang!" he muttered angrily.

Li Mengxi went to bed too late last night, and now he got up early and yawned again and again.

My younger brother Xiao Bian also woke up. Xiao Bian was also awakened by the crow of the chicken. Xiao Bian was very energetic.

"Brother, let's go collect the eggs, shall we? Let's go quickly." Xiao Zhuan was thinking about collecting the eggs and urged Li Mengxi to get dressed quickly.

Li Mengxi put on his clothes tiredly, "Let's go collect the eggs."

For the innocent and playful little Brick, collecting eggs is very interesting.

Li Mengxi took his brother to the back of the car, picked up the basket full of wheat straw hanging on the back of the car, and then walked a few steps to the first chicken and duck coop. Taking advantage of the gray morning light, Li Mengxi let his brother go by himself.

Find eggs and duck eggs.

"Brother, brother, there is one here!" Xiao Bian saw the egg and happily shook Li Mengxi's hand, asking Li Mengxi to take the egg.

Li Mengxi yawned, half-closed his eyes, casually opened the cage, held down the chicken with one hand, and picked out the eggs with the other.

The army raised more than a hundred chickens and ducks, all of which were purchased by traveling caravans along the way.

Now that we are at war with the Yellow Turbans, the caravan has stopped and there is no way to replenish the chickens and ducks.

Furthermore, even if we continue to send traveling caravans, there is a high probability that we will not be able to buy chickens and ducks. The disaster in Julu is serious. The people either starved to death or rebelled. There should not be many intact villages in Julu.

The giant deer is a true reflection of the fact that there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Maybe the scouts traveled hundreds of miles without finding a single human habitation.

After collecting all the chicken and duck eggs, Li Mengxi didn't pay attention to counting how many eggs there were.

"Brother, there are seventeen eggs."

"Ah, Xiao Bian, you can count such a big number." Li Mengxi smiled.

Seventeen is not that many.

For some reason, Li Mengxi felt vaguely strange.

Those who collect eggs and ducks collect eggs twice a day, once when they get up in the morning and once in the evening before dark. For some reason, the number of eggs and ducks collected in the evening is much more than that collected at night, which is several times the difference.

From evening to early morning, from 7 pm to 7 am, it is twelve hours, and from 7 am to 7 pm, it is also twelve hours.

If the time is the same, the average number of eggs laid by chickens and ducks should also be the same.

However, in reality, the number of eggs laid by chickens and ducks during the day is several times greater than the number of eggs laid overnight.

Very strange.

Li Mengxi almost discovered a method that could greatly increase the egg production rate of chickens and ducks, but because he was too sleepy, he skipped it after thinking about it and failed to delve deeper.

After collecting the chicken and duck eggs, as well as the very large goose eggs, I gave two eggs to Xiao Bian and asked him to take them to Tian Bu and boil them.

Li Mengxi went to see the potters to see if the pottery was ready.

When Li Mengxi arrived at the pottery kiln, Guan Yu was also there, talking to the potters.

Li Mengxi came over and asked how many kilns were fired last night.

The potters said that three kilns were fired.

The third kiln had just finished firing.

Excluding the preparation process of building the kiln and kneading the clay embryos, from eight o'clock last night to about seven o'clock this morning, three kilns were fired in eleven hours, which is an average of about two hours per kiln.

The speed is okay.

The potters have been busy all night, and now they are bearing fruit.

The potters fired a total of three to four hundred dynasties, which was quite a large quantity. Some of the dynasties were not fired well and cracked. The yield was about 70 to 80%. Good dynasties cost 300 yuan.

Li Mengxi was very curious as to whether the burned dysprosium would make any sound. He picked up a chiming dysprosium and blew it hard into his mouth.

"Woo——" Mingdi sounded faintly.

Li Mengxi was so happy that he could really blow it. It was just like a whistle, but the sound was dull and a little quiet. He didn't know whether it would make a loud sound when it was attached to the bow and arrow and fired.

Guan Yu pressed the arrow there. Specifically, he pulled out the good arrows and iron arrowheads, and put the ceramic hammer on them.

Hundreds of hammers were fired, and hundreds of arrows had to be sheathed. Guan Yu couldn't do it alone, so the potters helped, and Li Mengxi also helped.

At this time, the quality supervision process naturally emerged.

The first step in quality inspection is to pick up the hammer and blow it. If it can ring, pick it up and use it. If it can't ring, throw it away.

The second step of the test is to test-fire the arrowhead after it has been installed on the arrow shaft. If the arrowhead makes a loud sound after it is fired, keep it. If it makes no sound, discard it.

The sounds of chirping dysprosium vary, ranging from a slightly low whine to a slightly high-pitched chirp.

The method of deterring the enemy, more precisely, is to deter the enemy with sound, using sound, the louder the sound, the better.

Compared with yesterday's chimes, the chimes fired today have a louder sound, which is strange.

After two rounds of testing, 244 Mingdy machines were finally selected, each with a loud sound.

If these weapons are divided among fifty cavalry, then each person can be divided into four groups, which is just the right number.

After all, the cavalry also had real combat needs. Sometimes they had to use real iron arrows to kill the enemy, and they couldn't replace all their arrows with dynamite.

When Guan Yu left carrying two large bundles of Ming Dy, it was finally bright.

Li Mengxi held two hammered arrowheads in his hand and went to find his brother.

When he was looking for his younger brother in the wounded barracks, Li Mengxi met Tian Bu, who also yawned repeatedly. Tian Bu and his other military doctors had been busy for a long time last night before giving Qingzhen treatment to the prisoners.

Li Mengxi gave Xiao Bian a hammer and taught him to pick it up and play it.

"Woo——"

Xiao Zhuan imitated Li Mengxi's example and blew hard, making a buzzing sound.

"Wow!" Xiao Bian's eyes lit up, and he happily kept blowing it.

Xiao Bian has a fun toy.

The military now even has the ability to produce toys.
Chapter completed!
