"By the way, cousin Ting, do you still remember the modification of the barricades we talked about before?" Wei Xiyin closed the door and sat back on the couch.
When a small wave of zombies appeared on the edge of Niancuo County, the fire spread quickly when they were using a single-wheeled fire chariot. The barricade defense line was affected, and the first two lines of defense quickly collapsed.
Wei Xiyin had discussed with Wei Ting at the beginning that the material of the barricades needed to be modified, otherwise the defense line would be destroyed by the fire set by their own people before the zombies were burned to death.
Wei Ting certainly remembered this matter, "Cousin, have you figured out a solution?"
"Yes." Wei Xiyin nodded and said, "Mr. Chu is right. Some fireproof materials are too heavy to be taken on the expedition, and they are not readily available. For us, wood is more convenient."
Especially when going out overnight, you can use chevaux de frise stakes from anywhere and block the area within a two-mile radius with chevaux de frise stakes, which will make you very safe at night.
Wei Ting frowned slightly. From what she said, it seemed that she still wanted to use wood?
But my fifth cousin specifically mentioned that she must want to modify the wood.
Isn’t wood still wood after it has been modified?
It will still be set on fire by the chariot of fire.
He was about to ask.
Wei Xiyin said softly, "I've come up with a fire-retardant coating that can be applied to chevaux de frise. It absorbs and consumes heat, thus preventing fire."
At least it can ensure that the defense line will not be swallowed by the fire before all the zombies are burned to death.
Wei Ting became interested. "What kind of paint?"
Wei Xiyin didn't keep the secret and named, "Limestone."
The main component of lime is calcium oxide, which has high refractoriness and good resistance to alkaline slag.
Lime is made by burning limestone from the mountains and was not a scarce commodity in that era.
Wei Ting suddenly understood. He didn't know much about lime before. When the tribe members were buried, they went to the mountains to get some limestone to deal with the corpses.
It was something he didn't know much about, and for a moment he hadn't imagined that lime could have such a function.
Wei Ting couldn't help but sigh, "My cousin is really quick-witted. If she had called me, even if the lime was right in front of her, she probably wouldn't have thought of using it this way."
Wei Xiyin acted very modestly, "Everyone has their own expertise. Cousin Ting has done a great job."
Don't compare yourself with her. After all, she has the memories of two lifetimes.
Cousin Ting needs to be compared with the other cousins to truly form a superior opinion.
That’s settled.
The two discussed the details again and quickly notified people to arrange a series of things.
Afterwards, Wei Ting took her to the warehouse, where they counted the weapons and chariots that had been recently made, and discussed the amount of supplies that would be needed.
………
Wei's Fort.
Wei Zhongxun went out today and came to the old house to see his cousin.
Two old men sat in the cool room, playing chess and chatting.
Wei Zhongxun's mood has been up and down recently, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, which can be said to be very complicated.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that his son and his family have come back after so much hardship, and that they can be reunited as a family in today's world with their children and grandchildren around them.
But there is still no news about my daughter’s family who married far away in Xuzhou…
As for Changsun Weili.
Wei Zhongxun thought of this and sighed deeply.
"Brother, you may not know this, but Wei Li has really posed a big problem for Ming Sheng and me."
Wei Ji picked up the tea beside him and took a sip without saying anything.
After the granddaughter came back, she invited Princess Zhongshan to the old house. Wei Zhongxun was also there at the time. In front of the two elders, they asked the elders to be witnesses and the two parties signed a contract.
Wei Zhongxun originally did not agree with Wubao intervening in the civil unrest in Zhongshan, as he believed the risks and benefits were not proportional.
Because Wei Mingyuan is back, the fortress is not short of troops for the time being.
Even if Wu Niang wanted to go to the capital to look for someone, she could leave with more than 2,000 soldiers. There were 3,000 Wei family soldiers stationed in the fortress, so in his opinion, there would be no problem at all.
Until Wei Ji told him that Wu Niang not only wanted to find her family, but also wanted to pacify Yizhou, recapture the territory occupied by monsters, and provide a safe place for the people of Yizhou.
Wei Zhongxun suddenly realized.
If it is necessary to pacify Yizhou, there is no way to bypass Zhongshan State.
The total number of soldiers in the fort is only a few thousand, while Zhongshan State has tens of thousands of soldiers. If Yuan Sanlang were to occupy a corner of Zhongshan with his own troops, wouldn't he be handing over his achievements to others after Wei had cleaned up Yizhou?
Wei Zhongxun would never agree to this. How could he help others to gain something for himself?
As a result, before the matter was fully discussed, his grandson saw Wu Niang and her people returning safely, and that night he confessed to his elders in the family that he wanted to marry Princess Zhongshan.
The whole family was shocked.
If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, the two of them would be a good match.
One is a young man from a prosperous family, and the other is a daughter of a royal family. They seem to be a good match.
But what kind of world is this now? You know, if Wu Niang succeeds in this plan, Princess Zhongshan will come to power, hold military power, and dominate the area. How can this brat from his family be worthy of her?
Wei Zhongxun's first reaction was exactly the same as Wei Xiyin's at the beginning.
It is suspected that the Princess of Zhongshan did this on purpose in order to borrow troops to pacify Zhongshan.
Wei Li knelt down and said with a firm look, "Grandson knows the seriousness of this matter. I will definitely take on the responsibility in the future, work hard to make progress, and will not bring disgrace to the Wei family's name. Please grant me your blessing, grandfather."
The grandson's attitude was sincere, as if he had grown up overnight.
Wei Zhongxun was overwhelmed with emotion and was speechless for a long time.
