Chapter 1095 The Unrest of the Baiwu Tribe

Gu Ji and Tian Hong had always thought that the warriors of the Han tribe were holding short spears made of iron, but now they found that the thing was not a weapon for throwing.

This magical iron pipe weapon has a thin sword inserted in front, and it can be flexibly loaded and unloaded, but this seems to be just an auxiliary function, because in fact, it should be a long-range weapon.

Something like a bow and arrow or a crossbow.

But the two of them did not see arrows on it, but only found that every time the people of the Han tribe used this weapon, it would make a loud noise, like a thunder in summer, and it would also spray fire.

The prey that was hit would bleed profusely on the spot, fall to the ground, and a big hole would be blown out of its body.

They couldn't figure out what this thing was, whether it was a technological creation or a reward from the gods, but they were very clear about one thing, that is, this weapon was very powerful, and there should be no tribe in the world that could be a match for the Han tribe.

They didn't understand or know about other tribes, but they were very clear about one thing, that is, the Baiwu tribe would definitely not win.

Not to mention the flamethrowing weapons in the hands of these soldiers, even if they all changed to big knives, sticks and spears, the Baiwu tribe still couldn't beat them.

Why?

Because there are a total of 1,400 guards of the Han tribe leaders alone, and each of them is a strong adult male.

On the other hand, the Baiwu tribe has a total population of only 2,000 people. The total number of men, young and old, is not as many as the guards around Luo Chong.

How can you fight like this? !

Fortunately, the two tribes are still friends at present, and there is no reason for both sides to fight.

But if the Han tribe turns against each other in the future, it's hard to say.

At that time, the Baiwu tribe may not even be able to run away, let alone fight, after all, the Han tribe has tractors and a large number of horses, how can they run away.

"Two tribe leaders, do you want to try our Han tribe's weapons?" Luo Chong said with a smile and took the initiative to invite with a rifle.

Gu Ji and Tian Hong were stunned when they heard this, and the two of them trembled all over.

It's hard to tell whether they are afraid or excited.

Do they have the opportunity to touch this god-like weapon?

"Really? What's the name of this weapon?"

"This is the weapon that the gods use to punish mortals. This weapon is so powerful."

Gu Ji and Tian Hong said excitedly.

"Of course, we have time and space now. Youfu, come and try it. This is the latest model of semi-automatic rifle. The Shen Ce Guards have just changed their equipment. You may not have seen it yet." Luo Chong nodded affirmatively and invited Youfu to join him.

Youfu has long wanted to try it. He has seen rifles with bolts, but this kind of weapon that can automatically eject shells and reload is the first time he has seen it.

Although this semi-automatic rifle does not look as long as the standard bolt-action rifle, it is definitely far superior in terms of bullet capacity and firepower sustainability. Youfu certainly wants to try it. No man will refuse the charm of a gun, even a sword.

Not to mention Gu Ji and Tian Hong, both of them started to shake with excitement.

Luo Chong waved his hand, and soon three guards came and handed their rifles to them, and began to teach them how to use them.

You Fu learned it at a glance, and soon, under the guidance of the guards, he started shooting at the trees in the distant forest. As for the prey, it had been scared away by the dense gunfire.

Gu Ji and Tian Hong were a little excited, and they were a little overwhelmed after getting the gun, but under the guidance of the guards, they soon figured out how to use this thing called "gun".

They only realized now that it was really a weapon similar to a bow and arrow, but the gun was not loaded with arrows, but something made of metal called bullets.

This gun was made by the Han tribe with machines. The main materials were iron and wood. It could hold ten bullets at a time, and it could fire continuously, and it could kill targets within 400 meters. It was not a gift from God.

However, this news was more terrifying than a gift from God.

As long as there was iron and wood, it could be made. Doesn't that mean that the Han tribe could produce it without limit? Make as many guns as you want?

This is more terrifying than a gift from God!

Another more critical point is that this weapon is very easy to learn.

Gu Ji and Tian Hong couldn't even speak Chinese properly, and they were completely clueless about weapons like guns. But even so, under the guidance of the instructor, they learned how to use rifles in five minutes.

What does this mean?

This means that if the Han tribe randomly pulls a civilian over and gives a little training, within a few minutes, an ordinary person can have the ability to kill any enemy within 400 meters!

This is simply too terrible!

If the Han tribe wants to recruit soldiers, as long as the output of weapons can keep up, an army of hundreds of thousands of people can be pulled out in a short time.

Just thinking about it makes people's scalps numb!

Bang bang bang bang————

the two of them quickly fired the mixer under the guidance of the guards, and a series of roars came out from the muzzle. The ground not far away was hit and the earth and rocks were splashed, and the small trees as thick as wrists were broken in half. Although they didn't aim at any living things, it is not difficult to see how much damage this weapon will cause to living things by looking at the wild boars killed by the Han tribe soldiers just now.

I'm afraid that as long as they are hit, their bones will be broken and their flesh and blood will fly.

The key point is that the medical conditions of this era are basically equivalent to non-existent. Once you suffer such a serious gunshot wound, even if you are not killed on the spot, you may not survive for a few days.

In addition, the new semi-automatic rifle uses an intermediate-power bullet, the amount of bullet charge is greatly reduced, and the corresponding recoil is also reduced a lot. The two did not feel any discomfort because of the recoil. After firing ten bullets each, they fell in love with this weapon.

Unfortunately, they were destined to not be able to get it, because not only them, but even Youfu, who they regarded as a big shot, did not have the right to own a gun.

The Han tribe had strict control over firearms. Although swords and spears were not prohibited, firearms were never allowed to anyone outside the army, not even to frontier officials like You Fu.

After experiencing the magical weapons of the Han tribe, the two took the initiative to return them to the guards because they had no bullets left. Each person had only ten bullets, and there was no more bullets left.

But the two were still very happy.

After this shooting experience, the Han tribe brought them a different feeling.

First of all, they understood one thing, that is, the Han tribe is very powerful and is an existence that must not be provoked.

The second is the obligations of the citizens of the Han tribe that Luo Chong just mentioned when he tried to win them over. For example, as a citizen of the Han tribe, they have the obligation to protect the safety of the tribe. When the tribe is in danger and needs soldiers to protect the tribe, every citizen of the Han tribe has the obligation to join the army and take up arms to kill the enemy.

Before, they were a little resistant to this obligation, always thinking that Luo Chong and You Fu were fooling them. After they agreed to join the Han tribe, the Han tribe would let them join the army and then become cannon fodder.

But after the shooting experience, they found that they were wrong.

Take up weapons to protect the Han tribe? If they took this kind of weapon, they really didn't mind helping the Han tribe fight the enemy, because with such a weapon in their hands, it was impossible for anyone to be the opponent of the Han tribe.

In such a complicated mood, a group of people carried the harvested prey and rushed back to the city of Chengkang County. Naturally, they had a dinner party in the evening.

The barbecued wild game, with the special condiments of the Han tribe, chili and cumin, made the people drool and couldn't stop eating.

During the meal, Luo Chong also asked people to bring down hundreds of boxes of beer from the boat. After tasting it, everyone exclaimed that it was delicious. They all said that beer was the most suitable drink for barbecue. You Fu even said frankly that he hoped to build a brewery in Chengkang County and Qi'an County in the future. This beer is different from white wine. It is not so spicy and the degree is not particularly high. It is very suitable for drinking and will definitely be liked by many people.

Luo Chong did not agree directly.

There is no doubt that Chengkang County and Qi'an County will be positioned as heavy industrial bases in the future. Putting heavy industrial enterprises and food enterprises together is definitely a stupid idea.

Gu Ji and Tian Hong also drank a few bottles of beer, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the life of the Han tribe was really good.

The former Baiwu tribe, because they planted potatoes themselves and still hunted and gathered, they were not hungry, but they never ate too much. Sometimes roasted potatoes could make them full, but if they couldn't catch prey, then eating meat became a problem.

Now that they are working for the Han tribe, they finally have three full meals a day, with meat and eggs every meal, because the Han tribe provides them with meals.

Originally, this was already very good in their eyes, but now they see that this fucking barbecue and beer are the best.

While they are still celebrating the fact that they have meat and eggs three times a day, the Han tribe is already discussing which kind of grain brews better wine!

Listen, listen to this, is this human talk? You

gave us the grain that you can't finish eating, but you actually used it to brew wine!

Is this human behavior? ? ?

Emmmm, the beer is really delicious!

After the dinner, Luo Chong followed You Fu to take the train to Qian'an County the next morning. On the one hand, he inspected Qian'an County, on the other hand, he also wanted to see the actual situation of the Baiwu tribe, and also to take a look at the development of the coal mine. Finally, he sent all the technicians he brought this time over.

The distance of more than 100 kilometers is not very far. The length of this line is about the same as that of the railway from Xingang County to Weishan County. Luo Chong and his team stopped at the coal mine station halfway to inspect the specific situation of the coal mine.

The first discovered mine was 16 meters above the ground. It has been marked long ago, and You Fu also sent many people to continue digging wells in a radial pattern around it to determine the specific scale and burial depth of the coal mine.

Not to mention, in the end, they really found a shallower snow-buried area two kilometers away from the initial point. It was probably the so-called coal cap of this coal mine. After digging wells to detect the depth, the shallowest place was only six meters deep. A

six-meter-deep mine can only be said to be quite shallow. This kind of mine does not even need to dig wells, because the burial is too shallow, the soil layer above is not thick enough, and the support is not strong enough. If you dig wells to dig coal, the mine will easily collapse. In this case, it is better to dig up the soil layer directly and treat it as an open-pit coal mine.

Digging out a six-meter-deep layer of soil may have been a big problem for the Han tribe in the past, because it required a large number of workers to carry out manual digging with shovels.

But now it is different. The Han tribe can continuously produce excavators and bulldozers, and can also use tractors and trains for transportation. Digging out a mere six-meter-deep layer of soil is simply too easy.

The mining technicians brought by Luo Chong this time only briefly understood the situation here, and immediately came up with a plan similar to Luo Chong's.

They also suggested using a large number of engineering machinery directly to build an open-pit mine.

For the convenience of transportation, you can directly build a vortex-shaped mine, dig a circular pit, and then use a circle of winding mountain roads to drive cars directly from above.

Then, as the degree of development progresses, the mine will be gradually expanded until the place is mined.

As for the excavated soil, we can find a place where it will not get in the way and pile it up. When the mine is completely excavated hundreds of years later, we can fill the excavated pit with the soil and patch up the planet.

Of course, this is Luo Chong's idea. The mining technicians he brought with him could not think about things that far in the future. It

will take some time to mine the coal. First, the equipment must be in place. Second, professionals must conduct further exploration and come up with a detailed mining plan.

Luo Chong did not stay in the coal mine for long, and continued to take these technicians to Qi'an County.

Nothing else matters this time. We must settle this group of technicians first before we talk about other things. Only when these talents are stable can the industrial development of the southern Han tribe be realized.

The main people brought here this time are mineral mining technicians. In fact, there are not many mines here. There is a molybdenum mine near Chengkang County. It is now an indispensable mineral for the Han tribe. It must be mined. This is related to the safety of the weapons and the development of the army of the Han tribe. It is very important.

Then there is the coal mine located between the two counties, which is the foundation of the southern industry. Without this coal mine, Luo Chong can do nothing in the south.

Finally, there is the hematite mine near the Baiwu tribe, which is also an important resource point. The Han tribe in the south must also need a lot of ordinary steel. Apart from other things, various tools used in future construction and steel bars used in houses can all be extracted from this hematite mine.

Luo Chong intended to use the manganese iron mine in Taigang County of Tang Tribe to produce heavy-duty rails, which had little to do with civilian use.
