Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

After a long time, Fatty Wang and several of his apprentices returned to the kitchen carrying 8 or 9 earthen baskets full of bones.

After entering the house, the earthen basket in Fatty Wang's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"It's over, this is a big loss.

All the snacks I saved for a week were eaten up by him, and this kid finally found the sweet potato cake I hid."

At this time, Chen Yan had a full meal.

"Burp~".

Looking at the steamed bun residue, empty cans and completely finished braised pork on the stove, Chen Yan looked at Fatty Wang with a smile:

"Lao Wang, the braised pork is a bit salty. Please be careful next time."

MD, you stole my food and now you’re picky?

Fatty Wang's eyes were about to spit fire, but Chen Yan didn't care.

“Old Wang, why did I bring you out of Black Cloud Village? You are such a smart guy, and you managed to accomplish it in such a short time!

Okay, find a few people to build a smokeless stove in the yard and burn the bones into ashes.

Put another big pot on the table and start the fire.

I'll take a nap first, and call me when the water boils.

Oh no! You have to be open-minded in life. Why make yourself too tired?

Three full meals a day, two full meals a day, life is full of joy."

Fatty Wang’s face turned pale.

You have come to terms with it. Why do you need me to live?

Fatty Wang stretched out a stool and said, "Look at you fat guys, get to work."

Soon, the cooking class finished the work according to Chen Yan's instructions. Chen Yan came over to take a look and was quite satisfied, then went back to the house to get the combustion cup, test tube, sealed bottle, catheter and other experimental utensils.

Chen Yan grabbed a handful of ashes, mixed them with some charcoal powder, put them into a test tube, and then used a boiling pot and well water to distill them. Soon, white smoke was seen coming out of the tube. After cooling in the test tube, a small amount of white crystals appeared.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

Chen Yan's series of actions caused everyone in the kitchen team to exclaim in amazement.

"Well, um...

I am storing white salt, but it is hard to get white salt now, and I want to improve the living conditions of the soldiers."

Fatty Wang no longer has any trust in Chen Yan as the incident of the braised pork is not over yet.

“???”.

"Really? Don't lie to me."

"Lao Wang, what kind of relationship do we have? The head cook has already let you do the job, why would I lie to you? You are such a fool.

You see, when we eat meat normally, it has no taste at all without any seasoning and tastes bland.

Why? Isn't it because the salt is in the bones? If I squeeze the salt out of the bones, we won't lack salt in the future."

"That makes sense, but..."

"Old Wang, please don't complain. I just remembered that making salt is the job of your kitchen staff. So, you guys can prepare these 200-plus kilograms of bones according to my method.

Hehe! When the time comes, you will have salt to eat. You, squad leader Wang, will have a high status in the hearts of the soldiers. Everyone will remember your kindness.

Okay, I'm going to go out for a walk for a while, and then I'll go to sleep after I finish eating. It's time for some food, so you guys should get busy first."

Fatty Wang looked puzzled: “???”

"He ran away again and I have to work again."

The kitchen team was also not vague, and several people started moving immediately. Chen Yan hummed a little tune and walked out of the backyard.

After wandering around, Chen Yan came to the newly built cavalry company. At this time, Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng were studying the construction of the cavalry company. Seeing Chen Yan coming, they both stood up quickly.

"Hey, why are we being so polite? Please sit down.

Lao Li, how are you doing? Are you having any difficulties?"

"Chen'er, we have all the cavalry equipment we seized before, such as the Type 38 lance, sabers, spurs and so on. As long as we fully equip the cavalry, there won't be any problem."

"Okay, Desheng, do your best. I know you are a cavalryman, so you should put your best steel to good use.

Your cavalry is mainly responsible for search and reconnaissance, interception, encirclement, pursuit, reinforcement, patrol and other tasks. You must train the cavalry well for me, your cavalry is precious."

Chen Yan blinked his eyes and said, "I plan to set up a cavalry battalion in the future. You have to work hard, Captain Sun Zhun. I'm leaving now."

"Yes, Captain, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Li Yunlong was confused:

This guy who is trying to trick me is here again.

Seeing Sun Desheng's hands shaking with excitement, Li Yunlong was furious.

"Damn, you are such an idiot, you are the quasi-battalion commander, and you believe in a blank check.

You are the kind of guy who forgets your mother once you have a wife."

In fact, Chen Yan didn't walk very far. He heard Li Yunlong's loud voice clearly, so he turned around and went back.

Li Yunlong, you have walked into trouble.

"Old Li, what are you arguing about?"

Li Yunlong's face was filled with embarrassment.

Damn, this kid can even eavesdrop.

"Chen'er, I'm just kidding, why are you back again?"

Chen Yan laughed strangely, "It's okay, Desheng! Go and get me a basket of horse manure."

Two people: “???”.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it, I have good news, go quickly."

Looking at Chen Yan carrying horse manure, Li Yunlong shuddered.

Good things? Why do I feel like nothing good is going to happen!

Chen Yan took a long walk and saw that the people in the kitchen were working very efficiently. More than 200 kilograms of bones had turned into more than 10 kilograms of white phosphorus.

Fatty Wang wanted to take credit for it, "Captain, I am the one who contributed the most to the white salt issue!"

"Well, you deserve the credit."

Then, to everyone's surprise, Chen Yan poured a basket of horse manure into the pot and started tinkering with it again.

Following the same procedure, milky white crystals were purified again soon, this time it was solid ammonia.

This stuff is mixed with white phosphorus and vaporized into ammonia under the action of gunpowder. Hehehe..., the smell is amazing.

This is not a smoke bomb at all, it's just a fart explosion.

The smoke bomb was directly changed into a fart mine.

"Hahaha...".

Chen Yan was happy just thinking about it. The physical attack was directly transformed into chemical gas, and the power would definitely be doubled.

Chen Yan picked up the mixture of white phosphorus and solid ammonia and said, "Fatty Wang, do you still want this white salt?"

Fatty Wang’s mouth was so long that an egg could fit in it, and he looked embarrassed.

Just thinking about white salt mixed with horse manure makes it seem stronger.

Thinking of this, Fatty Wang started vomiting violently.

Fatty Wang originally wanted to establish a high profile among the soldiers, but in the end, he made things difficult for Chen Yan. He even forgot to make dinner.

At this time, some troublemakers from the soldiers who had just returned from training came over angrily. Chen Yan saw that this was not going well, so he shrank his neck and tried to run away.

"Brothers, you guys go ahead and do your work first."

Fatty Wang was scolded by the soldiers, and like a child who had made a mistake, he kept nodding his head to admit his mistake.

Painful baby!

I was fooled by this big liar Chen Yan again.

Why don’t you say a few words for me before you run away!

In the early morning, Chen Yan looked at the time.

"Well, it's one o'clock, the time is just right."

He disassembled two melon grenades, took out the explosives, and poured a mixture of white phosphorus and solid ammonia in. He went out and entered Li Yunlong's yard.

“Huh…Huh…Huh…”

At this time, Li Yunlong's snoring was so loud that it shook the whole sky!

"Well! Not to mention he sleeps so soundly, it's really a suffering to be your neighbor!"

Chen Yan quietly opened Li Yunlong's door and untied Pi Lei's bracelet.

"Hehe! Lao Li, don't blame me."
