Liu Bei knows many middle- and lower-level generals. It can even be said that Liu Bei knows all the middle- and lower-level generals. Anyway, since breaking through a certain limit, the number of middle- and lower-level generals that Liu Bei can recognize and remember has increased significantly.
Liu Bei could see a guy like Li He who was a garrison captain in Chang'an three or four times a year, so he knew very well what Li He looked like. He was tall and thin, probably a little over eight feet tall, but There is no flesh on the body, and it looks like hemp sticks.
Even Liu Bei knew that Li He's family had four children, two biological children and two adopted children of his comrades who died in the battle, and they belonged to a very ordinary backbone general.
It is said that he was dragged away by Zhu Jun for training for more than half a year. How come he is so much stronger now? Wasn't he weak before? Now I feel like a bullock, a bit ridiculously strong.
Liu Bei carefully looked at the shield guards behind Li He. He could name three or four of them, and more of them looked familiar. But these people didn't look like this before. Although they were all quite tall, 1.75 meters. The above, but they all look very similar to Ma Gan, and the unit type is not a shield guard.
But now, all of them are very strong, and with the armor on their bodies, to be honest, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. The shield guard can be said to be the only unit with the same talent strength, who is heavier, who is stronger.
Although the group of shield guards in front of them basically have no talent for smelting, each of them seems to weigh over 180 kilograms, and their equipment is estimated to be at the standard 200 kilograms. Even if they are not forbidden at this level, The Guards are so large that they can join forces to fight as long as they don't encounter the Praetorian Guards who are specialized in restraining this kind of plate-armored shield guards.
Li He scratched his head when he heard this. He knew that Liu Bei knew him. He was patrolling at the Wanxiang Shrine at the end of last year. When he met Liu Bei, Liu Bei casually asked about his family situation. So Li He knew that Liu Bei could know him. It was just a matter of this. He doesn't know either.
Li He used to be a light infantryman, with a height of over 1.8 meters and a weight of 140 meters. He developed a talent for agility and served as a guard in Chang'an. As a result, after guarding the Vientiane Shrine last year, Vice Principal Zhu wanted to form a new army. The army recruits soldiers who are over 1.75 meters tall.
Originally, Li He had no idea of joining the New Army. After all, he was living a good life as a rotating guard in the Wanxiang Palace. Before the weather changes, it would be worthless to smelt a talented guard in Chang'an. He was purely based on qualifications. It was enough, so he was assigned to take turns at the Vientiane Shrine.
But the new army recruited by Zhu Jun, except for the money, food and salary that had not changed from the previous period of duty, the food was really good, with all kinds of meat, milk, eggs, and five meals a day, so Zhu Jun successfully recruited them in Chang'an A batch of hemp poles over 1.75 meters tall.
After one person took a muscle-building injection, he began to provide supplements to this group of people, such as the red deer raised by Jiang Qi and the big-antlered deer raised by Liu Ru. Then they took supplements and exercised reasonably. This group of people were very happy. He soon grew stronger.
Especially Li He, a strong man who is more than eight feet tall, may really absorb muscle-building injections better. After taking these injections, it was like blowing air. He gained 70 pounds in seven months, and his body became longer. Most of what comes out is muscle.
So much so that Li He, who was like a stick before, successfully reached 200 kilograms. He put on the armor of a top shield guard, changed his weapons, and then just smelted another unloading force. Li He was definitely a fighter among the top shield guards. This Wearing the armor of a shield guard, he can still use his agility talent. For him, holding a shield, increasing his speed, and just hitting him directly, there is no solution to the problem.
However, Li He didn't know the reason why his family grew up like this. He could only attribute it to simply eating well.
"Hehehehe, Lieutenant, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I didn't eat enough before, but I have really eaten enough in the past few months, and then it grew like this." Li He scratched his head very happily.
In the past, when the weight was less than 140 kilograms, shield guards did not want to be weak like Li He, because shield guards at the level of 140 kilograms did not have any advantage over normal dual talents.
The real advantage of a shield guard starts from 160 kilograms. With an individual weight of 160 kilograms, a shield guard wearing 180 heavy armor is in a large scale. It has the ability to suppress most dual talents, and one A shield guard with an individual weight of 180 kilograms and wearing 200 heavy armor is considered to be an unstoppable legion among those with dual talents.
This is also why the Han Dynasty abolished the 140-pound self-weight shield guard, because this kind of shield guard used a lot of steel, but did not achieve the desired effect. It was the kind of armor that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song really complained about and was not worth their own weight. Legion.
Of course, even if Li He had great ideas about the armor of the shield guard, he could only wear ordinary plate armor as a light infantry.
Well, there are basically no light infantry in the Han Dynasty these days. All infantry are wearing armor. The only difference is the thickness. The only ones who can be regarded as light infantry are probably the sharp soldiers, but the sharp soldiers now also wear armor. Rhino hide armor.
This is a very helpless situation. Even Chen Xi has to consider the cost issue. After all, the only advantage of a single-talented shield guard is the super defense brought by the armor. If the weight is not enough, the thickness of the plate armor will be significantly diluted. , thereby reducing defense power.
As a result, the meaning of existence of shield guards weighing less than 140 kilograms is very confusing, which also gives other arms a way to survive.
After all, in these days, it is actually difficult for most soldiers to grow to more than 140 kilograms, and even fewer weigh 160 kilograms. Those who weigh 180 kilograms are very rare.
Chen Xi didn't have any good solution for this. However, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji's research broke this upper limit. Although Zhang Ji also said it clearly, this thing is not easy to use, and this thing does not break the upper limit, but just Unleash the original potential of human muscle development.
To put it simply, if a person's genes are destined to only grow to 160 pounds, then after taking muscle-building injections, the person will only be able to grow to this level at most.
On the other hand, a person's genetic limit determines that he can grow to 200 pounds and become a muscular man. However, due to the environment, he can only grow to 130 pounds. So after taking this muscle-increasing injection, his In order to adapt to the environment, the muscles that have been pretending to be dead will be awakened.
To put it simply, this 130-pound macho man will quickly grow to 200 pounds after supplementing with sufficient nutrition. And after reaching this level, the general environment, that is, the appetite will not shrink to the standard level. Weight loss will occur.
Obviously, Li He should be a born hunk.
"Don't look at me, this is not a matter of being full, this is a matter of promoting growth." Chen Xi saw Liu Bei looking at him and quickly explained, "They are actually full, but the development of all aspects of the body is limited by the environment. The limit was not reached, and then the injections developed by Dr. Hua and Dr. Zhang awakened their physical development.”
"Are you sure there's no problem with this?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in shock. He hadn't seen a living person for half a year. He went from about 130 pounds to over 200 pounds now. This kind of growth really doesn't happen. Does it cause any hidden danger?
"There is no problem. Dr. Zhang has been adjusting it for a long time. He is sure that even if it cannot be activated, it is at most equivalent to an injection of normal saline." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The principle is only equivalent to the half-sized ones of thirteen or fourteen years old. My son suddenly grew taller."
How terrifying would it be for a boy of thirteen or fourteen to suddenly start growing? It is very normal to grow ten centimeters, gain twenty kilograms in weight, boxing strength, grip strength, muscle strength, etc. in one summer vacation. These are very normal situations, and Zhang Ji's muscle-building injections are the same.
It just brings back the developmental period that people of this era missed. Of course, the effect of increasing height is not very good. Just like Li He has grown so much, his height may only grow one or two inches, but this is also very good. Horrible.
"But someone like Li He can only be said to be gifted." Chen Xi said rather sadly. If everyone had the same effect as Li He, Chen Xi would recall all the main players to get muscle-enhancing injections this year. Weighing one hundred and two hundred kilograms, the shield guard using 220 equipment pushed Guishang across.
The two hundred kilograms of self-weighted shield guard is not bragging, and its defensive ability is the best among the imperial guards. Compared with the Padujia warrior who died in Brahmas, if only the defensive ability is compared, it is definitely better. And nothing less than that, for a total of three hundred thousand, Guishang would be beaten on the head.
To be precise, it’s not the Kushans who beat them on the head, but the Romans who beat them on the head?
This kind of real pure physical defense does not have any will effects or talent effects. It is nickel steel, hemp steel, and carbon steel that have been warmed up. Stand on the spot and let Rome chop it. After Rome chops it once, the weapons will be gone. It will take several changes.
Unfortunately, the development limits of most people in this era are not very high, and there are even fewer people with extraordinary talents like Li He.
But for Chen Xi, it doesn’t matter how little these few are, as long as they have it, it will be a blood profit. One hundred and six will not lose, one hundred and eighty will make a blood profit, and every one of the two hundred kilograms will be counted. The top imperial guards, Zhu Jun's selection, produced hundreds of men like Li He, so the entire Han Dynasty could produce at least nearly 10,000 such tough men.
Therefore, Chen Xi's idea for muscle-enhancing injections is to produce them in batches and give them to all militiamen. Heap up the scale of the shield guards and take them as many as they can. Now it is difficult for the imperial guards to take them. It's a waste of money for a 180-year-old who respects himself. , which is equivalent to having one more survivable Imperial Guard.
An extra 200 kilograms is equivalent to an extra backbone of the main battlefield, and you can make a lot of money!
"In this case, can the common people afford to feed them?" Liu Bei asked worriedly. Five meals a day, including milk, meat, and eggs. What level of life was this before?
