The gap between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers is actually not only physical fitness and individual combat quality, but also a gap in spirit and spirit.
When two armies are fighting, morale is particularly important. The real elite can always maintain the strongest morale no matter what the environment is!
"good!"
Yang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand, and a strong force blew out, instantly lifting the tarpaulin covering the carriage.
Although these thousand elites were determined, their eyes still shone with surprise and confusion when they saw what was on the carriage.
The carriage was filled with piles of dark purple bamboo poles as thick as a baby's arm. The biggest feature of this kind of bamboo pole is that the bamboo joints are much denser than ordinary bamboo.
But what surprised these thousand elites was not that the bamboo poles had denser joints, because they all knew this plant.
This plant is not actually bamboo, it just looks somewhat similar to beads. It is a special kind of tree that grows in extremely cold areas at high altitudes.
Due to altitude and climate reasons, the growth rate of this kind of tree is very slow. Although the bamboo pole-like tree trunks stacked on the carriage in front of you are only as thick as a baby's arm and only about two meters long, they take at least fifty years to grow.
So big.
What surprised these thousand elites was that the color of these tree trunks was dark purple instead of the tan they usually saw.
Moreover, there are more than a dozen small holes as thick as a little finger on a section of these tree trunks. I don’t know what they are used for.
Although they were curious, their extremely high quality still prevented any of them from taking the initiative to ask.
A truly outstanding soldier must possess one quality, which is to listen more, watch more, and talk less. Everything should be based on the instructions conveyed by superiors.
As long as their superiors don't take the initiative to speak, they can't talk too much.
"Lahai, do you know this plant?"
Yang Xuan asked Lahai.
Lahai nodded, "Report to the commander, I know this is a unique tree on our plateau, we become Udamu."
"It's just that the udam we usually see is brown, but we have never seen a dark purple one!"
Lahai answered loudly and truthfully. As an excellent soldier, seeking truth from facts is also an essential quality. You must not exaggerate or rely on subjective assumptions.
Yang Xuan nodded, then picked up a piece of udama wood, handed it to La Hai, and said, "Try to see if it is strong."
Lahai didn't say too many words. He took the Udamu and then raised his knee and slammed it into the middle of the Udamu.
There was only a muffled bang, but the Udamu was unscathed!
Everyone looked a little surprised for a moment.
Although the texture of this udah wood is many times harder than ordinary trees, Lahai was the leader of the last tribal competition. If his knee fell, even seven or eight udah wood bundles would be broken, and even more
What's more, there is only one at this time.
Lahai himself felt a little unbelievable. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and slammed his knee against the udam wood again.
Bang!
There was another muffled sound, and Lahai felt that both of his wrists were numb, but the udama was still intact!
"this…….."
While Lahai was greatly puzzled, it also aroused the fire in his heart. He grabbed the two ends of the Utama wood with both hands, poured all his strength into his knees, and smashed the middle of the Utama wood.
There was a constant banging sound, and after about fifty or sixty hits, with a crunching sound, the udama wood finally broke into two pieces.
Everyone was shocked.
It is not difficult to see that Lahai used all his strength. With Lahai's fighting strength, his knees were hit fifty or sixty times, and even a big tree that could be hugged by one person would be broken.
Lahai himself was even more puzzled. Although the quantity of this kind of udam was not large, it was not considered a rarity.
It is such a common thing, how could it suddenly become so tough this time?
Looking at the confused expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Xuan took another piece of dark purple udam from the carriage, weighed it with his hands, then looked at everyone and smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much about this.
You’re not that evil.”
"These wood are actually the ordinary udam wood that you have seen since childhood, but I asked Guza to give it special treatment."
"Use your specialty ghee, mix it with local minerals according to the proportion, then cook it at high temperature for three hours, and then dry it over an open fire."
"The texture of this kind of udak wood is very hard in itself. When it is fully integrated into the mixed liquid, both the strength and toughness can be increased dozens of times in an instant."
After hearing this, everyone not only smacked their lips secretly, but also had a thought in their hearts.
After the ubiquitous udam wood has been treated in this way, its strength and toughness are no less than steel, and this material can be easily obtained. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to make it a substitute for steel?
Yang Xuan could see everyone's thoughts at a glance and explained, "Although this kind of thing is very convenient, it also has a shortcoming, that is, this kind of thing is very short-lived."
"After three days, the various mineral mixtures inside will dissolve, and the wood will not only lose its strength and toughness, but it will also turn into rotten wood in an instant."
"So this kind of thing can only be used for a period of time. If you have enough time, it must be made of steel."
"It's just that we don't have that much time now, so I can only use this method instead."
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, Lahai finally couldn't help but said, "Chief Qi, I have a question."
"you say."
Yang Xuandao.
Lahai looked at the dark purple udam piled on more than a dozen carriages and wondered, "Does the commander want to use these things as weapons?"
Yang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, these Udamu are the weapons you need to use these days."
After hearing this, Lahai couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Chief Qi, it doesn't have to be that complicated. Although we are far less wealthy than the Red Sect, we can still produce thousands of steel spears.
.”
Although the others did not speak, they nodded in agreement.
They thought Yang Xuan might not know them well and thought they were too poor, so they planned to use these udam trees to serve as "spear" for them.
After hearing this, Yang Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know you are definitely not short of steel, and I am not eating enough to support myself. Since I did this, there must be a reason for doing it. La Hai, go and get the last carriage."
Tarps open.”
Lahai quickly stepped forward, raised his hand and lifted off the tarpaulin on the last carriage.
What comes into view is no longer piles of udam, but iron bars about as thick as an index finger, more than two feet long, in the shape of sharp diamonds, and crookedly shaped like tree branches.
Everyone looked confused, not knowing what these things were used for, and they didn't look like weapons.
