Most of the people here have no fighting ability, but these ordinary people, at this moment, completely broke down their psychological defenses, stood together, and had a common goal.
The men aged eighteen to forty on the right are the main force of the team that Zero needs to prepare next.
The women in the middle stayed in the base as reserves, similar to logistics personnel, to ensure the pre- and post-war supplies for other members.
Zero plans to make a batch of long-range defensive weapons for the members over forty years old on the left.
At that time, they will be another trump card for Zero.
These weapons are generally quite large, but since there is no space available, transportation is not a problem.
Long-range defensive weapons are similar to city defense weapons in the military. Zero intends to abandon the traditional concept of city defense weapons and create a new type of city defense.
The Zizhi Tongjian records that during the period from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, there was a special weapon called the Wolf Fang Pai, which was a long-range weapon that was charged and launched, similar to a catapult. It was extremely powerful and could cause large-scale damage and casualties to city defenses and personnel.
This time, Zero will imitate the Wolf Fang Strike.
Unlike traditional manufacturing processes, this method uses minimal equipment, materials, and even cutting methods, making it the most resource-efficient.
The "Complete Essentials of Military Classics" includes a diagram of a wolf-tooth clapper, which describes it as follows: "The wolf-tooth clapper is made of elm wood, measuring five feet in length, four feet five inches in width, and three inches in thickness. It is made of 2,200 wolf-tooth iron nails, each five inches long and weighing six ounces, which are laid on the clapper and protrude three inches from the wood. Each of the four sides has a blade that penetrates the wood one and a half inches deep. Two iron rings are attached to the front and back, with hemp ropes threaded through them, and the clapper is hooked to the city wall. When enemies swarm to the city wall, someone pulls them up and strikes them down."
This kind of wolf-tooth paddle is too bulky, requires a lot of wood and iron, and is inconvenient to use.
Although the wolf-tooth mace had a large striking area and was very effective at striking attacking troops, in reality, to increase the striking power of the mace, the wood used to make it was thick and heavy, and the number of "wolf-tooth iron nails" attached to it was also large, resulting in a considerable total weight. It was sometimes quite difficult to operate by hand, so a winch was used for pulling it.
Of course, this is just a historical record of the wolf-tooth clapper, not the one he intended to make.
It was made with zero intention, and even the elderly, weak, women and children can use it.
With a plan in place for defensive weapons, the next step is to equip the main members with offensive and defensive weapons.
Of course, Zero couldn't possibly produce all these items at once, nor did he have that many materials; he would have to collect some of them from the Dimensional Capital.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Not everyone has to participate. Although Zero has selected those aged 18 to 40, they will still have to go through multiple rounds of selection later.
After all, some people's mental state, physical condition, and physical strength may not be suitable for the upcoming training, including the tolerance to weapons.
Only those who pass the tests and meet all the requirements can truly become members of the main team.
After all, Zero wouldn't joke around with their lives. Besides, these are all defenseless people.
With a general plan in place, Zero told them to go back and rest first, and to regroup in about a week, at which time the combat personnel would be determined.
Because he needed to go to the Dimensional Capital, as there were some things that could only be collected there.
Before leaving, Zero gave Ye Hao and the others a weighted suit each, so they could wear it for long-distance running training every day to improve their speed, muscle endurance, and so on.
Hopefully, things will improve after he returns...
