1717 New American Empire

The production of bows, arrows and Tang knives in the factory cannot be stopped, not only because more than a dozen machine tools have been modified, but also because the factory still has no experience in developing firearms. Instead of manufacturing immature matchlock guns or

It is better to study the front-loading artillery for a while and strive to directly make mature firearms. Xiao Lin believes that it is best to start with breech-loading muskets and breech-loading artillery. Otherwise, it can only be used by white people in the 18th century.

Send military exploits.

But bows and arrows and Tang knives are different. All Indian warriors have mastered the skills of using these two. Although the styles are different, with many years of experience, they can exert strong combat effectiveness after adapting to them. Indian warriors

, should be the main component of Xiao Lin's army for a long time. Therefore, instead of forcibly training them into musket soldiers, it is better to arm them with more powerful cold weapons.

This time when he came back, Xiao Lin assigned a new task to the cold weapon research and development team led by Qu Zhenguo. Xiao Lin now needs a breastplate that is light but strong enough. He does not want to be able to withstand musket guns within fifty steps, just for

To guard against wild beasts and hostile Indians, it is enough to be able to withstand muskets and bayonets in close combat. As for bows and arrows, the current range and power are sufficient. If they are not enough, the accuracy will not be good.

Especially at a distance of 100 meters, even Indian warriors who use bows and arrows all year round cannot guarantee 70% accuracy. At 150 meters, they can only rely on groups to shoot and kill the enemy. In this way, think

To attack the enemy accurately, you still need a strong crossbow. Xiao Lin also assigned them the task of developing a strong crossbow. There are only two requirements: first, it must have a far enough range, and second, it must be accurate enough. Ordinary soldiers in the 18th century were not very good at it.

It wears armor, so the power and rate of fire requirements are not very high.

The research and development of crossbows is still very simple. The Chinese are the ones who have made great use of long-range weapons in more than 5,000 years of history. When Westerners were still playing with javelins, Qin Shihuang had already led the Chinese to play with crossbows.

Nowadays, there is a lot of information about Jinnu on the Internet. Xiao Lin finally selected the Rhubarb Crossbow as the research object. Qu Zhenguo said that a sample can be produced in up to ten days. These Rhubarb Crossbows will also be used by Xiao Lin in the early stage.

The main equipment of the white men under my command. They are bad at bows and arrows, but their crossbows are okay.

In addition, Xiao Lin also needs to purchase a lot of daily necessities. He now has more than 200 white captives in his hands, plus the 25 Eagle Tribe warriors hired to guard the captives, all of which Xiao Lin has to provide.

Logistics, the pressure is still quite big. Although the hunting efficiency of the Eagle Tribe has doubled due to the weapons brought by Xiao Lin, if they kill all the prey, they will only be able to eat wild vegetables and fruits in the future.

Xiao Lin had never done any logistics work, so he wanted to ask an old man in the factory to help with planning. Qu Zhenguo recommended his son, Qu Jun. Qu Jun and Xiao Lin were also good brothers who grew up together, but one of them later became a worker.

Bing and I went to college together. They have different lifestyles and different routines, so they have less contact and their relationship has faded a bit. Qu Jun was a second major in business planning, but this

The major is so unpopular that Xiao Lin has never heard of it, let alone knowing that he can find a good job.

The situation in the factory was not good before, and Qu Zhenguo didn't even think about letting Qu Jun work in the factory. It's different now. In his eyes, Xiao Lin has revitalized the factory by himself, and he can just do it for his own benefit and provide for his son.

Find something to do instead of playing games at home all day long. Xiao Lin said that he would purchase a month's worth of daily necessities for 300 people. In addition to the accurate quantity, the cheaper the better.

Qu Jun University really wasn't fooling around all the time. He made a form for him in two days. The purchased materials were divided into four major aspects: food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In terms of clothes, what Xiao Lin's white people need are regular clothes for daily life and work clothes for work. Whether it is the white people's messy clothes made of various cloths, or the Indians' clothes made of fur and linen plus various odds and ends.

, are more troublesome to wear. And they will be more or less a big obstacle when working. Xiao Lin decided to change them all. For regular clothes, Qu Jun helped him contact a sportswear manufacturer and came directly.

Six hundred sets. The work clothes were directly replaced by camouflage clothes, which are the kind worn on construction sites. They are unsightly but strong and durable. One set is enough for one person. Of course, warm winter clothes and work clothes are also needed, but now in America

It’s still summer in mainland China, so just take your time.

In terms of food, Xiao Lin directly made the decision himself. Instant noodles, dried noodles and the kind of air-filled bread sold in supermarkets are the staple foods. As for the dishes, there are only various cans and chicken wings that cost five yuan a pack in the supermarket.

Chicken legs. Of course, these are for white people and Indians who are not related to them. Xiao Lin himself had to stay for more than half a month, and there were Pearls and Apaches around, so he had to eat some delicious meat.

, are available on the American continent. Xiao Lin bought some shelf-stable vegetables and various seasonings.

In terms of living, the only thing available is tents. There is no shortage of firewood and stone in the American continent, so you can just collect and build it yourself. However, now the white people still need shelter that can protect them from wind and rain. Their original tents were attacked by the Eagle Tribe warriors

It was destroyed when the tent was made. It was not a good cloth in the first place. It was pulled by swords and arrows and could no longer be used. Qu Jun helped contact his classmates, who made this at home. Xiao Lin directly ordered 30 sets of military tents.

, the retired version of the Chinese Army, one can accommodate ten people. The tent is durable but a little ugly. I went to the wholesale market to buy 300 sets of quilts and pillows, and I made the bed myself from wood.

OK, it is mainly used to transport materials and transmit information. It does not require high-end things. To transport materials, it is enough to use a two-wheeled cart like the one on the construction site. Bicycles are used to transmit information. Qu Jun asked Xiao

Depending on the road conditions, it is recommended that he purchase some folding bicycles. Although these bicycles have poor off-road capabilities, they are small in size and can be folded and do not take up much space.

When all these things are piled up, they can fill up a small warehouse. Although the space-time door that Xiao Lin has now opened can let a large truck pass through, it still takes two points to use up all these things. That time I saw that strange star

After the sun, the gold coin travel function seems to have been upgraded. Originally, all 9 light arcs were supposed to disappear, but only 5 were gone. Xiao Lin only discovered this when he returned to the factory after trading with Zhao Dai and his family.
