Chapter 914
"There are signs of a large number of beast mutations in the wild in some parts of the South......" Reading this information, Calvin couldn't help but hide his face with his hands, not wanting to continue looking.
It's urging again! It's urging again!
Lille must have sent this news to him on purpose, and it must not be the only one with him, presumably with Gregory as well!
But where is it so easy to develop new weapons? Even if it is to improve the existing guns and artillery, and strive to make ordinary soldiers become combat effectiveness, it will take considerable time and energy, and budget is a rather serious problem.
Without enough experiments, will such weapons be able to go into battle? Can they be mass-produced? What if those weapons go wrong after all the legions have been equipped with weapons? Aren't they the ones who will be held accountable in the end?
That guy from Lille, because he had urged him many times on the surface, and after being impatiently scolded by them a few times, he didn't dare to come forward, and only dared to use this method to urge them, but what was the use of this? Anyway, if you can't study it, you can't study it!
Angrily picking up the piece of information and throwing it to the ground, Calvin's eyes filled with boredom.
Of course, he knew that the soldiers of the Empire had sacrificed a lot of money to encircle and suppress those bugs and resist the invasion of the Black Forest, but what could he do? He was a genius, and together with Gregory he invented the 'steam locomotive' and the 'telecompose', which could even be said to be epoch-making machines, but they needed more knowledge!
Only more knowledge can inspire them and provide the basis for weapon improvement, otherwise, they have now done what they can to improve their weapons, how to improve them, carve them into patterns, or enchant them? The Empire doesn't have that much budget for them to waste!
Some time ago, he had seen the news about the 'new artillery' of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, but what was the use of only this one piece of news? there were no parameters or designs, and even if they wanted to, it would be difficult for them to imitate them.
Calvin sat irritably behind his desk, he didn't want to think about the damn thing anymore...... Wait, now they can't make new weapons, they can't improve existing weapons, but they can make more 'weapons'!
A bullet excited by gunpowder is a weapon in itself, and gunpowder can fire a cannonball, and when it is detonated, the gunpowder itself has a driving force......
Gunpowder produces explosions, so gunpowder itself is a weapon!
They didn't need to reload the gunpowder in a proper way, they could use the gunpowder itself as a weapon - a weapon that had been around for a long time, but now Calvin was not thinking of bombs made by military factories, but ......
Let's make a hypothetical idea that if they can simplify the process of making gunpowder, reduce costs, and make gunpowder on the spot so that soldiers can make gunpowder on the spot – they could even divide a new class accordingly, one that has the knowledge to make gunpowder on the spot!
There is no need to worry about gunpowder exploding during transportation, because it is just a pile of raw materials in itself, and as long as it is properly kept, then there is no need to worry about anything.
In this way, they can completely put the production line of gunpowder behind the front line, no longer need to think about transportation, and the distance from manufacturing to use is only a road that cannot be shorter.
There were even times when it was possible to use local materials - as long as some soldiers understood how to make gunpowder!
...... Perhaps, it is time for them to change their way of thinking, in order to deal with the coming Demon Tide, they should no longer use the old war mentality to think about everything related to the 'Demon Tide'.
In the period when the demon tide first appeared, the whole world may become their enemies, not only animals may mutate, plants may also mutate, livestock may become their enemies, and the grain planted may harvest the lives of farmers.
Usually docile cats and dogs may turn against their owners, pack animals are no longer so easy to control, and the wilderness may even become a forbidden area for life.
It may be sensational, but according to their speculation, it is indeed possible that the coming of the demon tide will bring these things.
Although the magic element will not affect the area beyond the current Black Forest, the increase in the concentration of magic power means that even if it is 'breathing', it is possible to inhale magic into the body, and the body of ordinary people is not so susceptible to the influence of magic power, so most of them will expel magic power from the body, but life levels that are not as intelligent as life as high as life may mutate.
If the ancestor once had any bloodline, the bloodline might still be awakened in this environment.
No matter how thin the bloodline is, as long as you have a little bloodline, it means that the possibility is not equal to zero.
The Tide will bring a lot of changes to the world, and now that these changes are beginning to appear, Calvin believes that it is time for them to change their minds in order to cope with the coming 'upside down'.
If the soldiers are just a bunch of idiots who don't understand anything, then they may not even understand orders, and if the officer dies, what will happen to the next soldier?
According to past experience, if the commander is unfortunately killed, then the soldiers under his command will either be dispersed or taken over by other officers, if there are no other officers present, then one can only pray that there are talented people in that group of soldiers, and can master extremely good command skills without learning, and other than that, the soldiers have only the possibility of 'total annihilation'.
There is no doubt that this is a drawback, but even if Calvin is not happy with this system, he once thought that it was better not to let soldiers become smart, too smart soldiers would contradict their superiors, and even spread rumors and disrupt military deployments because they were afraid of death, while soldiers who were not smart enough would choose to obey the yang and disobey, and eventually their cleverness was likely to become an opportunity to bury the whole army.
It's not common, but it happens, and that's why Calvin used to think so.
But now, the times are about to change, so those of them who stand on the cusp of the times should also change their thinking.
He was also confused, why didn't he understand this joint?
Since a few years ago, the head maid had been making the army literate, and at that time, although they had not yet begun to pay attention to the Duchy of Sorrow, this matter was only learned later.
At that time, people from other countries were still going to see the joke of the chief maid, but in the end, not only did they not make a joke, but even the combat effectiveness of the army seemed to be much stronger than before.
The others, including them, didn't figure out what was going on, so they thought that the head maid had 'otherworldly knowledge', and maybe among those 'otherworldly knowledge', there was a way to make the army's combat effectiveness stronger.
Because they really didn't understand why the soldiers, after reading and reading, not only did they not become cowardly, but they did not pretend to be smart, but they became more cohesive.
They may never have figured it out, but after the terrible battle at the Miró Fortress, Calvin seems to have grasped something.
However, it was only now that he figured out what was going on!
It's because of 'faith' - the soldiers of the Principality of Sorrow have become strong because of their faith, and even if they are 'literate', they will not think about it.
The soldiers who defended the frontier of the empire were also willing to walk into that fierce battlefield with flesh and blood because of their 'faith', but they didn't know this before, so the army did not have enough cohesion.
Calvin smiled and walked around the table, picked up the piece of information he had left behind, and solemnly placed it on the table.
After that, Lille didn't have to rush anymore, even if he didn't invent new weapons or improve existing ones, but he found two ...... No, the foundation of a strong army!
This alone is enough to make the army stronger!
