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, about eight feet tall, but There isn't much flesh on the body, and some look 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 war, and they belonged to a very ordinary backbone general.
It is said that he was dragged away by Zhu Jun for training for the past six months. Why is he so much stronger now? Wasn't he a weakling before? Now he feels like a bullock. He is 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 they are all very strong, and with the armor on their bodies, to be honest, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Shield Guards can be said to be the only unit with the same talent intensity, whoever is heavier will be stronger.
Although the group of shield guards in front of them basically have no smelting talent, each of them seems to weigh over 180 kilograms, and their equipment is estimated to be around the standard 200 kilograms. At this level, even if it is not forbidden, 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 a few questions about his family. So Li He knew that Liu Bei could know him. This was just the problem. 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 intention of joining the New Army. After all, he was living a good life as a rotating guard in the Wanxiang Palace. Before things changed, 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 a rotation at the Wanxiang 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 stalks over 1.75 meters tall.
After one person took a muscle-building injection, he started to give this group of people supplements, 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 good. 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 will not solve 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.
"Hey, hey, 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 I grew up like this." Li He scratched his head very happily.
In the past, when the weight was less than 140 kilograms, the shield guards did not want to be weak like Li He, because the shield guards at the 140 kilogram level actually 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 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. 's legion.
Of course, even if Li He had great ideas about the shield guard's armor, he could only wear ordinary plate armor as a light infantryman.
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 defensive power 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 the 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, but the research of Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji 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, those of his The muscles that have been pretending to be dead in order to adapt to the environment 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 fullness. 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 won't happen.
Does it cause any hidden dangers?
"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 just equivalent to those who are half-sized at thirteen or fourteen years old.
My son suddenly grew taller."
How terrifying would it be for a 13- or 14-year-old boy to suddenly start growing? In one summer vacation, he would grow ten centimeters, gain twenty kilograms, and have a comprehensive and substantial increase in fist strength, grip strength, muscle strength, etc. These are all very normal situations, and
Zhang Ji’s muscle-building injections are the same as this one.
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 by an inch or two, but this is also very good.
Horrible.
"However, 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 take muscle-building injections this year.
Weighing one hundred and two hundred kilograms, the shield guard using 220 equipment pushed Kushan across the board.
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 it is only compared with the defensive ability, it is definitely better.
And if nothing less, for a three hundred thousand yuan, Kushan will beat him 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 after being 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, no matter how small it is, as long as it is there, it will be a blood profit. One hundred and six will not be a loss, one hundred and eighty will be a blood profit, and every one of the two hundred kilograms will be counted.
Zhu Jun selected the top imperial guards and 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 give them as many as they can. It is difficult to deal with the imperial guards now. It is a waste to use 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 will 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 did one have before?
