Chapter 6630 Indicators
"Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared. Although you have given such conditions, it is still possible that nothing will be produced for a long time. There is a certain element of luck involved. I don't seem to have had good luck in the past two years." Cookie felt a lot more relieved after hearing this, but he still gave Chen Xi a few words of advice to prevent Chen Xi from thinking that his efficiency in producing improved seeds was exactly the same as before.

How should I put it? In the past few years, Cookie thought that his efficiency in producing good varieties was normal. However, in the past two years, after repeated verifications and discovering that the route was directly wrong, Cookie realized that the efficiency in the past few years was purely luck, and he found the best results after a few experiments.

In fact, most of the time real scientific research is just trial and error. It is complete nonsense to expect so-called results to be achieved on time.

"It's okay. I may have a better attitude than you in this regard." Chen Xi waved his hand nonchalantly. Cookie was just used to the ridiculous efficiency in the past and was very dissatisfied with the current trial and error situation. The problem was that from Chen Xi's perspective, Cookie's current efficiency was horrible. Slow? It wasn't slow at all.

When China was developing high-quality seeds, it took more than ten years to verify them. One team after another failed in the verification stage. With his spiritual talent, Cookie is equivalent to a super-large agricultural research team. Even if it is a wrong route, he can prove the mistake of this route in a short time, which is indeed progress.

The essence of scientific research is trial and error. After eliminating enough errors, the correct answer is only a matter of time, so Chen Xi is not panicked at all.

"That's fine, as long as you don't rush." ​​Cookie and Chen Xi have worked together for more than ten years, and they know each other's personalities. Since Chen Xi said so, he can carry out his research with peace of mind. To be honest, the longer he walks on the road of scientific research, the less willing Cookie is to get involved in other things.

"Eat melon, eat melon." Seeing that Chen Xi and Qu Qi had reached an agreement, Liu Bei smiled and pushed the melon to them. The two did not refuse, but picked up the watermelon and started to eat it. Soon, the group of people swept away the two big watermelons, leaving a pile of watermelon peels in a wooden basin on the side.

"This melon is really good. Recently, I only remembered soaking it in the Orchid Pond and forgot about the melons in Shanglin Garden. Hanmou, don't mind me touching a few later." After eating the watermelon, Han Xin wiped his hands twice, then said to Cookie with a gangster smile.

"As long as Marquis Huaiyin likes it, the melons in Shanglin Garden are already verified products. If you like them, just pick them yourself." Cookie said with a smile.

These days, Cookie rarely grows those agricultural products that have just started to be tested in Shanglinyuan. There is no other way. There are too many pests in Shanglinyuan. It is very easy for Cookie to finally produce a classic product, but it will be picked and eaten by this group of people, leaving only a few results for themselves.

What's worse is that Cookie found that he couldn't seem to say anything to these people, and could only watch them cause such harm.

Therefore, the cookies grown in Shanglinyuan are now mature products. Si Niang, Liu Chan, Han Xin and others can destroy them at will. If they are gone, they are gone. Anyway, they are not the first generation of experimental products, so it will not have any impact if they are destroyed.

"That's great." Han Xin smiled arrogantly. He really liked the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty these days. Moreover, after living a new life and doing exercises at Liu Bang's grave, Han Xin no longer had any resentment. Therefore, if the Han Dynasty needed his help in any way, he would be very positive.

"So, what do you want to do by inviting us two here? I'm not good at agriculture. If you let Wu'an Jun come, he can probably only farm. Don't expect any higher level. We two are probably only suitable for fighting." Han Xin shook his sleeves and said with a bit of arrogance as if he had eaten and drunk enough.

"Basically, I can't explain to Your Highness why we won the last battle, because Your Highness kept asking me how I could guarantee victory in the last battle if I couldn't even guarantee victory in the next one. So I need the two of you to make an evaluation. Of course, the current strategy is not yet complete, and there will be about two years of optimization time in the future." Chen Xi raised his hand to activate the arcane mirror, releasing the current terrain situation of Kushan.

This is a high-precision map created by the Han Dynasty based on the information in Xun Qi's hands and the intelligence collected by its own officers and soldiers during the years of war with the Kushan Empire.

The Han Dynasty spent a lot of effort on this map alone.

"This map is good. It's even somewhat similar to the sand table I saw before." Bai Qi looked at the high-precision map released by the secret mirror with a satisfied look. When he fought in the past, he inevitably had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on exploring the terrain to ensure that no unexpected incidents would occur.

A map of such precision that Chen Xi took out this time was something that had never been seen in his time. With this thing, combined with the reconnaissance of the scouts, Bai Qi was confident that he could find several places where the enemy could be quickly wiped out.

"This place is very suitable for an annihilation war." Bai Qi only looked at this high-precision map and quickly found a place suitable for an annihilation war. "Put the enemy here, and then use sharp soldiers to cut the battle line and pass through the center line. Basically, we can directly annihilate the army of more than 100,000, and the requirement for our own troops is not high."

Han Xin looked at the position Bai Qi pointed at for a long time and nodded, "Indeed, I didn't even notice this position before, but Wu Anjun is right, this position is indeed suitable for fighting an annihilation war. The confluence of these two rivers here means that the north and the south are actually blocked. Once the army's front line is unstable and can be broken by sharp soldiers, this place is basically a dead end."

Bai Qi's battle strategy is to kill them all, no matter who the opponent is, as long as he kills them, the problem will definitely be solved. Han Xin's strategy is to fight and gather at the same time, so in the battle of annihilation, there is indeed a certain gap between Han Xin and Bai Qi, but since Bai Qi opened his mouth, Han Xin could naturally see it.

"This is Bodhgaya." Chen Xi looked at Han Xin and Bai Qi solemnly, "Are you sure this is a good place to fight an annihilation war?"

"For those coming from the west, this is definitely the best place for an annihilation battle, because the angle between the two rivers forms a trumpet-shaped mouth in the east. Once we gain a great advantage on the front line and a rout occurs, the army on the east will not be able to flee. The biggest problem in an annihilation battle is how to prevent the enemy from running away." Bai Qi said confidently.

That's right, for Bai Qi, the biggest problem is not how to defeat the opponent, but how to prevent the opponent from running away. As long as the opponent does not run away, he has plenty of ways to kill the opponent. But once the opponent runs away, it will be much more difficult for Bai Qi to wipe him out.

"I tend to agree with Wu'an Jun's opinion." Seeing Chen Xi's eyes falling on him, Han Xin did not put on airs and directly gave his own judgment.

"You can't count on a desperate battle. Most officers can't do that. They're not me. If they make a mistake, they'll all be wiped out." Han Xin waved his hand and said, "A normal war is actually fought with a tolerance rate. If you make fewer mistakes and your opponent makes more, then as long as the difference in hard power between the two sides is not too big, you will win sooner or later."

"With this river terrain, if the enemy catches you during the rainy season and fights you, to be honest, you won't lose as long as the opponent is not too weak." Bai Qi said with a sneer, and then asked Chen Xi to zoom in on the terrain and quickly deploy three armies of land and water according to experience. The land army was small but elite, while the navy was large and complete. They advanced simultaneously along the three lines drawn by Bai Qi. Now even Chen Xi could see the problem.

"Under this situation, without external help, Bodhgaya will be an isolated city. And if you let it out to fight the enemy here, unless you are at this guy's level, you will definitely die." Bai Qi said calmly.

"No, even if I am here, I will be dead if my opponent is Wu'an Jun. The terrain here has too many restrictions. If we make a mistake during the rainy season, we will be surrounded on all sides. If we attack, the only target will be the army, and if we cannot win quickly, we will be defeated directly." Han Xin shook his head and said. In this terrain, it is impossible to win if facing an opponent of the same level. The best choice is to give up this place and run away before the encirclement.

Chen Xi and Liu Bei looked at each other in bewilderment, then described all the wars they had previously waged in Palyagaya for evaluation by these two big men.

"The Kushans' strategy is wrong. They lack a strategic support point for the army. Once you have such a support point, it would be difficult for you to win. This is a terrain that allows for a pincer attack. Oh, the Kushans have also been attacked from both sides. Is the army so weak?" Bai Qi said with some disbelief. It is said that as long as an entire elite army is deployed between the two rivers south of Pataliputra, the follow-up would be a war of encirclement and annihilation. As a result, the Kushans failed to hold on three times?
"This is really bad." Han Xin scratched his head. Their ideas were correct, but when it comes to military strategy, it's not that just because the ideas are correct, it's truly correct. It's correct only when you win. According to their analysis, the Han army's style of play is indeed at a disadvantage, and it's easy for the Kushans to seize the opportunity. But the Han army won every time they played this way, so it seemed that they cared too much about whether there was something wrong with this style of play.

"I still suggest not to use this place as a support. Although we have won three victories here, this is not a strategy of being invincible and seeking victory later. Once a mistake is made here, there will be big trouble, so it is best to make some preparations in advance." After hearing that the Han army had defeated the Kushans three times here by reversing the previous inference of the two, Bai Qi was a little confused, but he still suggested changing places.

"Okay, I will organize your suggestions and send them to the front line so that they can be prepared." Chen Xi did not think that Bai Qi and Han Xin were too cautious. As a military strategist, being careless is not acceptable. It can really result in deaths.

"Okay, next I'm going to talk about my plan, which needs your review in order to persuade and implement this plan." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Okay, tell me, let's listen and see what the plan is." Bai Qi said with interest. He has always been interested in Chen Xi's strategic plans, especially those that serve the war. How to put it, they are really full of power and numerical beauty.

"Let's talk about the Kushan side first. After so many years of war between us and the Kushan, we have basically confirmed the war potential of the Kushan Empire. They are worthy of being a great power." Chen Xi said with some admiration. He did despise South Asia, but it was undeniable that this thing did have great war potential.

"It seems that so many years of war have not caused turmoil to the Kushan Empire, but in fact, there is finally a shortage of young and strong people in Kushan today." Chen Xi called out a report from the secret mirror. It has to be said that Xu Yue was really outrageous. He did it all by hand and was able to figure out the system call logic. No wonder Li You was so angry that he was half dead. Li You was reluctant to deal with Xu Yue.

There's no way, there's really no substitute for this thing.

"The entire South Asian population plus the population of Northern Kushan was once about 45 million. After experiencing a large number of wars, the actual population of Kushan is now about 33 million. This is mainly because the southern noble population in Chola and the lower reaches of the Ganges actively flowed into Kushan after the war. As a result, after losing a large number of southern noble states, the overall population still remains at this level." Chen Xi quickly called out the population composition of Kushan, allowing this group of people to clearly understand the current population situation of Kushan.

"Next is the young and middle-aged population. Before the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushans, the average life expectancy of the Kushans was about 30 years old, which was slightly lower than that of the Han Dynasty. After the war started, both sides increased their investment in medical care, and the average life expectancy increased significantly." Chen Xi pointed to two pieces of average life expectancy data and explained.

Thanks to Chen Xi's efforts over the years, even though the number of doctors is still not enough, the average life expectancy of the Han people has increased by 15 years thanks to some Chinese patent medicines. In other words, the average life expectancy has increased from the original early 30s to the current level of 46 or 47, which is a great improvement.

The Kushans, under the passive influence of the Han Dynasty, saw their life expectancy rise from less than 30 years to nearly 40 years. This increase in life expectancy led to an accelerated accumulation of population. This was also the reason why, during the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushans, even though millions of young and strong men died in the war, the overall population did not decline at all but continued to increase at a high speed.

To put it bluntly, the life expectancy of those people who would have died at around 30 years old due to various diseases or accidental events has been extended, with the average life expectancy increasing by half, which in turn has led to a huge drop in the mortality rate.

After all, in ancient times, ordinary people in various countries were in a state of high mortality and high birth rates, and the advancement of medical technology in major countries greatly reduced mortality rates and prolonged life expectancy, which in turn was equivalent to gaining a large number of young and strong people.

Men in their thirties are considered young and strong, whether in the Han Dynasty or in the Kushan Empire, and are the main source of military personnel for the two countries in recent years.

After all, without the advancement of medical technology, the millions of young and strong men who died on the battlefield would most likely have died on their sickbeds due to various strange reasons.

This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire had sufficient human resources during this war. After all, even if calculated according to the Chinese population mortality rate of 1950 per thousand in , after the life expectancy was extended by half, the mortality rate was cut in half, that is, to per thousand. With the population size of million in the Han Empire, it meant more young and strong people survived a year.

Although the Kushan Empire did not reach such an exaggerated level, the early Kushan Empire's mortality rate was calculated based on 50 years of India's mortality rate, which is per thousand. As the life expectancy was extended by one third, the mortality rate was simply and crudely reduced to per thousand. With a population of more than million in the Kushan Empire, this meant that more young and middle-aged people would survive each year.

In fact, the mortality rate during this period was much higher than these two numbers, and the data that could be reduced by the advancement of medical technology was far more than this per thousand rate, so naturally there were more young and strong people who survived.

As for why most of the well-known members of the Han Dynasty families are in their seventies, eighties, or even a hundred years old, how can we explain it? Those people enjoy the world's best resources. In fact, even now, as long as they enjoy the world's best resources, under similar physical conditions, people with these resources generally live longer than those without these resources.

The so-called contemporary average life expectancy is over 70 years old. The current average life expectancy between urban and rural areas is about six years apart, and this is due to the progress in medical and health care. The difference was even greater in the past. In fact, with the popularization of medical technology, when this average value reaches a certain level, the gap between the life expectancy of ordinary people and that of top personnel will become smaller and smaller.

Because in the end, it is no longer a competition of medical technology, but the upper limit of life determined by genes. The closer to this upper limit, the weaker the medical technology. Similarly, the further away from this upper limit, the more outrageous the increase in life expectancy that can be brought about by the improvement of medical technology.

Take penicillin as an example. Why is Fleming considered one of the greatest biomedical scientists? Because the penicillin he discovered opened up a new world and extended the average life expectancy of people around the world by fifteen to twenty years. This is what cheating means.

Both the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire relied on all kinds of strange things to increase their average life expectancy, and were able to attract more young and strong people to join the battlefield. To put it more exaggeratedly, even if these young and strong people who should have died on their sickbeds all died on the battlefield, the pressure they brought to the empire was more on morale rather than internal turmoil.

Taking a village as an example, the village chief has a count of how many people die in his village each year. As long as the number of deaths does not exceed a certain limit, it is not a problem for the village chief at all, and it will not cause any problems for the construction and operation of the village.

This was also the reason why the Kushan Empire and the Han Empire could continue to maintain their relationship despite numerous wars. But now, after several large-scale losses, the Kushan Empire can no longer sustain such losses. In other words, the last blood bar has finally shown a value.

"This idea is quite unique. This is the first time I've heard of it, but if I think about it carefully, I think it does make sense." Bai Qi looked at the data constantly displayed on the secret mirror played by Chen Xi, and said with some admiration. He had never thought about this before, but with this as a comparison, it can explain why the State of Zhao was close to collapse after the Battle of Changping.

"In other words, most of the young and strong people who died in the past were included in the previous natural mortality data. The actual mortality rate we brought to Kushan was only about 3 or 4 thousandths." Chen Xi pointed to the population data of Kushan and said with some fatigue.

"The extra 3 or 4 thousandths of data are fatal to a small country, but for the Kushan Empire, it will take a full generation for this loss to become apparent. This is why imperial wars usually take several generations to end." Chen Xi pointed to the changing trend of the Kushan's population structure and explained to everyone present.

Compared to talking about how to win from the perspective of war, Chen Xi would rather popularize it to others from the perspective of population and war potential. This will make people more clearly aware of what will happen next and why they won on the battlefield but lost the future.

"Now that I have gained these insights, I can talk about the strategy I have been preparing since the first year of Yuanfeng." Chen Xi put away the data related to the Kushan population, and then activated another secret mirror, which contained data on the current situation of the Han Empire.

"What does this armor mean?" Bai Qi looked at the armor above. Although he had some estimates, this data was too ridiculous.

"Thanks to the day-to-day efforts of the Yellow River Hydraulic Forging Factory, we have produced 1.4 million heavy plate armors so far. It is estimated that when the plan is implemented in the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, the number of heavy plate armors will reach 2.7 million to 3 million. This is the investment in steel, which has been allocated in advance. All we need to do in the future is to keep pushing forward." Chen Xi did not hide it and pointed to the armor and spoke.

"One million and four hundred thousand heavy plate armors?" Bai Qi and Han Xin were both a little jealous. This was too crazy. These were heavy plate armors. It was ridiculous for you to make so many.

"The Yangtze River water etching line has also been put into operation. Currently, the sealed heavy plate armor is being etched according to different models. At present, after optimization by professional technicians, the technology has been slightly improved. The yield rate of defense etching directly on the assembly line has increased by 2.3 percentage points to 5.3%. It is still being optimized in the future, and it is estimated that it will reach 7% by the end of this year." Chen Xi slid his hand up, and a dense array of indicators appeared under the armor item, and then Chen Xi clicked on one of them.

"What the hell?" Han Xin was stunned. It had only been a short time since he received the first piece of armor with defensive etching, and now this thing was already on the assembly line?
"That is to say, there has been a technological breakthrough. The cost of the assembly line is already lower than manual etching, and it is more efficient. Moreover, as the scale expands, the cost of this thing will be directly diluted to a dozen cents." Chen Xi explained casually, while Han Xin covered his face, not knowing what to say.

This is the defensive etching that the Kushan Empire worked so hard to come up with. It is an outrageous technology that can provide 30% more defense than the thickness of its own armor. It is called small heavy armor defense. As a result, you have now exploded the production capacity. The Kushan will cry to death.

Just a dozen coins are used to increase the thickness of shield armor with a theoretical market value of hundreds of thousands of coins by one third. What kind of Zenithian technology is this? The Kushan Empire is really awesome!
"According to the current efficiency, by the end of the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, about 31% of the more than three million standard armors in the country should have completed defense etching. This data tends to be conservative. If there is a breakthrough in technology, the data may reach 76%." Chen Xi said that he is an emotionless robot and has no sense of surprise, only data, but this number is too outrageous.

"This is the armor aspect. As for personnel, the total number of our army's veterans and those who have served in the military for more than seven years has exceeded four million. Among them, there are fewer double-talented people in the rear, currently about 470,000, who can serve as the backbone and fill the fourth level and above smelting of the legion structure, about 6,200 people, of which about 1,400 are on the front line." Chen Xi pointed to the data on the troop strength indicators and interpreted them to Han Xin and Bai Qi, and the two of them felt their scalps tingling.

What does it mean to have served in the military for more than seven years? The only difference between such people and veterans is that they have never seen blood. Oh, you said that these guys who have served in the military for more than seven years have been to the battlefield and came back alive. I suggest not to mention the seven-year military service. Just say that they are elite veterans, and see what type of military service is suitable, and then you can arrange it.

As for the veterans of the fourth level or above who can serve as the backbone to fill the legion structure, what legion needs veterans of the fourth level or above? The Imperial Guard? Three talents? Or the military soul? Veterans of this level will be wanted in any legion, so why are there so many veterans in the local area instead of on the front line?

"At present, there are more than 1.7 million young and strong people with elite talents due to long-term military service in the country. Among them, there are about 670,000 young and strong people belonging to the Gongyou Infrastructure Construction Corps. The young and strong people in this unit have a complete organizational structure and can go directly to the battlefield after being armed. In addition, the young and strong people in the armed departments of factories and mines at all levels have a medium-sized military structure and can reorganize in a short time after being armed. It is expected that they can go to the battlefield within two months." Chen Xi pointed to another data and said.

Why is it said that Sun Qian was the third person after Chen Xi and Lu Su when Lu Su was there? This can be seen from this hard indicator. You must know that this is only the Production and Construction Corps, and does not count the super-large and large construction teams under Sun Qian's command. However, the latter is a non-official organization, and there is still a certain gap between its team structure and the army, and it needs to be reorganized.

As for the young and strong men in the armed forces of factories and mines at all levels, this is the team under Chen Xi's name. In terms of scale, this kind of team is naturally not as large as the one under Sun Qian, but it is spread all over the country and has a large number. Added together, it is no less than the team under Sun Qian.

However, due to the small size of each batch, if they are merged into a legion, they need to be reorganized in the same way and then managed more strictly. But this is not too difficult and only takes one or two months of strengthening to reach the level of a military organization. After all, these things were built by the military from the beginning.

Emmm, there are some typos. I haven't written a long chapter for a long time. The time left is a bit insufficient. The situation should be better tomorrow.
