The constant changes in the situation on the field made Norton full of doubts. However, Xu Yunyan did not explain to him, and waved Maimaiti to retreat and start making pulp according to the pulp making process he designed.
After the prepared pulp is made, start making paper. When the amount of paper is enough, use your own new concept to make paper armor, and then arm everyone.
Xu Yunyan's arrangement was very appropriate, and he walked away very gracefully. Norton was even more confused as a monk, but he didn't say anything, let alone do anything. He just watched Xu Yunyan and followed Xu Yunyan forward.
After entering the camp, Xu Yunyan sat on the main seat, while Norton was still standing stupidly at the bottom, and Xu Yunyan looked at him.
"Why are you still standing? Don't you want to follow me to learn the art of war and battle formations? Find a chair and sit across from me. Let's start talking about war on paper." As soon as Xu Yunyan mentioned talking about war on paper, he couldn't help scratching his ears again. This is not a good word. , but what can Norton, who has no insight, say more?
He doesn't know how to talk on paper. But just when Norton really followed Xu Yunyan's suggestion and moved a chair to sit opposite Xu Yunyan, he was quite confused. Looking at Norton who was about to smoke on his forehead, Xu Yunyan asked.
"What's wrong with you? Have you encountered anything annoying again? Look at how anxious you are." Norton smiled awkwardly in front of Xu Yunyan.
"My lord, please forgive me. I don't mean to make you laugh, but I really can't figure it out." Xu Yunyan was a little confused after Norton kept saying that he couldn't figure it out.
"If you are unclear about anything, just tell me. You are holding back and thinking about it here. I don't know what you mean. If you are unclear about something or confused about something, you ask me to guess and I will guess too." Not even that." Xu Yunyan's half-joking words made Norton stunned, but after he reacted, he smiled honestly in front of Xu Yunyan.
"What the general said is very true. Why didn't I say that I didn't understand something?" Norton then adjusted his clothes to look more serious before speaking in front of Xu Yunyan.
"Actually, I just want to ask the general."
"What are you asking?" Xu Yunyan looked at Norton curiously, and Norton spoke directly.
"Aren't we soldiers who protect our country? And just now the general meant to ask Commander Maimaiti to make paper. Why is that? Do we need to have our own business in the military camp to expand our money and pay our troops?" Xu Yunyan heard this. Norton laughed at this statement.
"How could you think of using paper in exchange for money?" Although it was Xu Yunyan who asked, he didn't wait for Norton to explain and started talking directly in front of Norton.
"Actually, this is not what you think. I want to exchange paper for money, but the armor in our military camp is insufficient." Xu Yunyan once again talked about the issue of armor, and Norton hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, just now the general said that there is not enough armor in the military camp. I also said that I would ask Master Lane to send the blacksmiths from Lane City to the military camp to build armor together."
"Xu Yunyan nodded."
"Yes, but we don't have so much ore to make so much armor, so I thought of something, since we can't make so much armor, why not use paper to make armor?" Norton suddenly I couldn't help it anymore, and I was even more curious, or worried.
"How could the general do this? What's the use of this paper armor? Isn't it broken by just one poke?" Xu Yunyan smiled happily when she saw Norton looking like this.
"Why do you think this paper armor will break with just a poke?" Xu Yunyan randomly picked up a book and pointed at the book and said to Norton.
"Look at this book." Xu Yunyan handed the book to Norton. Norton opened a piece of paper and then made a clear scratch on it with his fingernail.
Xu Yunyan looked at Norton and said again
"If you can cut through one piece of paper, can you still cut through these twenty pieces of paper? Even if you cut with a knife, you may not be able to cut through all twenty layers. Even if you cut through twenty layers, Yes, what about the 30th floor or the 40th floor?" Norton suddenly understood.
"General, do you mean to make a thick layer of armor like a book? That's right. This book must have fifty or sixty pages at least. Even if I hold a knife, I may not be able to cut it, let alone It's a good way to block the shooting of bows and arrows. You can also install some other hard objects on some serious parts, and this set of armor can be made." Norton said this, and Xu Yunyan looked at Norton even more. Laughed in front of him.
"This paper armor has many benefits. It's not that simple. What General Norton said is too little."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." This time Norton was no longer entangled, and he didn't have any embarrassment in front of Xu Yunyan. Instead, he looked directly at Xu Yunyan and asked.
I don't know what else to pay attention to, but Xu Yunyan looked at Norton's appearance and said with a smile.
"You have to pay attention to one thing, and this is the most important thing. If you soak this paper, you can shape it into various shapes we want. When it dries, it will be the shape we want, and it will be more in line with our body. For defense, you can make it as thick as you want in every place." At this time, Norton's eyes even shone.
"I really want to see what this paper armor looks like now. Why didn't I think of using this paper armor to equip soldiers before? If so, many of our brothers would not die on the battlefield." Norton kept regretting it. Well, I didn't know Xu Yunyan earlier, I didn't have to see the paper armor earlier.
However, Xu Yunyan did not disappoint Norton and spoke while looking at Norton.
"There will be opportunities in the future, and we will start production now. We will make the paper armor we need in the shortest possible time, and then arm all the soldiers, so that the things you are afraid of will not happen again in the future. "But just when Norton said in front of Xu Yunyan that their sons and sons would not have any accidents again, suddenly Norton seemed to have thought of something important again and looked at Xu Yunyan and said.
"Sir." Xu Yunyan said calmly while looking at Norton looking so anxious.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Is it necessary to hesitate in front of me?" Xu Yunyan was very optimistic about Norton, and Norton did not disappoint Xu Yunyan and hurriedly spoke in front of Xu Yunyan.
"Sir, I suddenly remembered something." Norton stopped talking after half a sentence. Xu Yunyan was a little speechless when she looked at Norton.
"You should tell me when you remember something! Why don't you tell me again?" Norton scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"The cost of this paper is quite expensive." Xu Yunyan was speechless for a moment.
"Of course I know what you're talking about about making paper. Black-clothed food has not mastered the cheap paper-making technology in the East, so paper is a valuable item in your black-clothed food, and it is quite expensive." After Xu Yunyan said this After speaking, Norton looked at Xu Yunyan and was overjoyed.
"I guess you have a way to solve the problem of expensive paper." Xu Yunyan nodded and confirmed Norton's words.
"Do you know what I asked them to purchase? Maimaiti purchased it, but it is the simplest item to make paper." Before Norton could hear or guess what Xu Yunyan was purchasing, Xu Yunyan had no idea. He talked about the items on the paper he made without any reservation.
Norton was very surprised when he saw this.
"Is this really possible? Can bark, grass roots, fishing nets, etc. be used to make paper?" What a strange item.
But although Norton was very curious, looking at Xu Yunyan's firm eyes, he had no choice but to stop talking about it, and instead changed the subject.
"General, if you can make such simple paper armor, there must be a way to solve the various problems of paper armor, right?" Although Norton has never seen paper armor, he opened his mouth and said that paper armor may exist. question, and then Xu Yunyan looked at Norton curiously.
"I wonder what General Norton meant by these words?" Norton didn't hide anything, but started talking.
"Since the armor is made of paper, it must be easily ignited. It is afraid of fire, and it is also easy to be afraid of water." Xu Yunyan smiled when he saw Norton's words being so decisive.
"This is easy to do. As long as you apply a layer of fireproof mud on the outside of the paper armor you made, you will no longer be afraid of fire. As for waterproofing, add a little straw to it. As long as it is not soaked in water, it will basically not be affected. There is a problem." Xu Yunyan also quickly sorted out the matter of his armor, while Norton was holding his fists.
"It all depends on the general's orders. As long as the general needs help, just say so, although I may not do anything to make the general feel at ease." Xu Yunyan laughed even more when he saw Norton expressing his sincerity.
"There is indeed something that requires General Norton to come forward." At this time, a gleam flashed in Norton's eyes. He had been studying the art of war and battle formations. Now he had the opportunity to learn some amazing skills from Xu Yunyan, which made Xu Yunyan even more excited. Teaching himself with peace of mind made Norton feel that he had grown a lot, and then he hurriedly looked at Xu Yunyan.
"I wonder what the general needs?"
"It's very simple. Since you are the original general of Dashi in Black, you should know what the army of Dashi in Black is like?" Xu Yunyan's words shocked Norton.
"Does the general want to attack the city of Black Clothes?" Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"That's not the case, but I want you to disguise yourself as a legion of black-clad cannibals, ready to go to the grasslands to defeat those nomadic tribes who wantonly attack black-clad cannibals." As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Norton Looking at Xu Yunyan with bright eyes.
"General, don't worry. I became a general because I defended Lane City and fought against foreign races." At this time, Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction to Norton.
"Then I don't know if you had a head-on confrontation with the aliens with real swords or guns, or did you defend the city?" Norton said directly.
"Of course it's a real fight with real swords and guns. Every time, thousands of us rush forward in one go. Although they are cavalry, there are only a few of them, only a hundred or ten." At this moment, Xu Yunyan suddenly felt I felt very uncomfortable.
Why is it that when I hear that thousands of tribes are fighting against hundreds of cavalry, I feel unhappy, but in my mind I see tens of thousands of cavalry confronting each other? This is the gap. What on earth have I forgotten?
Thinking of what he had forgotten once again made Xu Yunyan feel very uncomfortable, but he still looked at Norton talking there.
"Since this is the case, then we must make full use of our advantages." Xu Yunyan knocked on the table while speaking, and Norton's eyes also shone.
"I know, I will study the battle formation carefully to see if there is anything for the cavalry, so that the aliens on the grassland can see the strength of our black-clothed food after having the military formation."
