Chapter 63: Buying Powerful Weapons for 1.5 Million

Just as Xiao Moting and the generals were discussing battle strategies together.

Bai Wei was at the Farm, directing workers to unload medicine from the truck.

Two full truckloads of medicine, all of which were specific drugs used to treat malaria, were shipped directly from the pharmaceutical factory after Director Qin pulled some strings.

Besides the medicine, there were syringes, Absorbent Cotton, disinfectant...

Bai Wei was very grateful and called Director Qin.

"Director Qin, the medicine has arrived, thank you!"

"Xiao Wei, you don't need to be so polite with me." Director Qin chuckled, "If you really want to thank me, help me take good care of those eight Alpine Horses."

The extinct Alpine Horses were too precious, and Director Qin did not dare to transport them rashly, fearing that a change in environment would cause the horses to suffer from acclimatization issues and develop problems.

Therefore, he specifically measured the environment and found a construction team to build a similar stable at the biological research institute, mimicking the environment of the Farm.

Before the stable was built, the eight horses would temporarily remain at the Farm.

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Qin, I will definitely take good care of these horses."

After finishing the call, Bai Wei immediately had the workers unload the medicine, preparing to send it all to Xiao Moting.

Malaria was an incurable disease in ancient times, but it was not in the modern era.

With these medicines, countless people could be snatched back from the hands of the Grim Reaper!

Alcohol is a controlled substance and cannot be purchased in large quantities.

The concentration of ordinary disinfectant alcohol is seventy-five percent.

Bai Wei then had Li Bo distill high-proof liquor of about seventy percent to use as a substitute for alcohol.

In this way, the trouble of purchasing large quantities of alcohol was avoided.

Just as she was waiting for the workers to move the medicine, Bai Wei realized that Xiao Moting had come to find her.

"Goddess, Mo Ting has an urgent matter to beg of you."

"Please trouble yourself to help me look up what kind of weapon Yue Fei actually used to crush the chain-linked armor back then?"

"Xiao Moting, have you encountered trouble?"

"Yes, the Great Ye has dispatched three hundred thousand troops, preparing to attack Heyuan County, among which are twelve thousand Iron Pagoda Heavy Armored Cavalry."

Bai Wei's mood suddenly became tense.

The Great Ye had dispatched troops?

And they actually bypassed Beijiang to attack Heyuan County first?

Wasn't that where Yang Wei was stationed?

"Alright, I will help you look it up immediately."

"Also, Goddess, could you send a little more Explosives? It doesn't need to be much, one-fifth of last time will do; it is a key item for this operation."

Bai Wei furrowed her brows.

She could go online to look up information on weapons.

But these Explosives were strictly controlled by the state, and even in the modern era, they were very difficult to obtain.

However, Xiao Moting said it was a key item for the operation.

She would try her best to find a way!

Time was pressing, so Bai Wei first went online to look up the weapons.

But the information on the internet was a mixed bag, and there were all sorts of marketing accounts; some said Yue Fei used a spear, others said he used a saber... she didn't know which was true and which was false.

Bai Wei downloaded fifteen or sixteen videos in one go and drove to find the equipment shop owner.

The owner was at the archery range.

"Boss Liu, do you know about the time Yue Fei crushed the Jin army's cavalry?"

"I know..."

"Help me take a look, what weapon did Yue Fei use?"

The owner took the phone, scanned it a few times, and decisively picked one out.

"It's this kind of hook-sickle spear! Used to slash at the horses' legs!"

"Hmm?" Bai Wei didn't quite understand.

Seeing her frowning, the owner laughed, took out his phone, and deftly clicked on a video.

"Look, it's like this."

Bai Wei widened her eyes.

This was a battle scene selected from the modern film "Yue Fei".

In the footage, the two armies were engaged in fierce combat, with yellow sand filling the sky.

It was evident that this film had a large budget; not only were there many actors, but the props were quite authentic!

The enemy cavalry, both men and horses, were covered in armor, with only the horses' legs left unprotected.

The Yue Family Army used hook-sickle spears to sever the enemy horses' legs, then moved in to kill the enemy!

She saw that the Yue Family Army not only used hook-sickle spears but also a type of Long Awl!

"Boss, what is this weapon?"

"An armor-piercing awl specifically for dealing with Heavy Armored Infantry, invented during the Song Dynasty!" the owner said, "I modified one, you can try it."

The owner picked up the armor-piercing awl and boasted proudly, "I also increased the length and carved blood grooves on the tip; as long as the enemy is pierced, they will bleed incessantly and lose their combat effectiveness instantly."

Bai Wei took the armor-piercing awl.

This weapon was about one point seven meters long, a sharp, pointed awl with a slender and sharp tip.

She walked up to a wooden dummy wearing armor, gripped the armor-piercing awl with both hands, and thrust it forward with force!

Puchi!

The sharp armor-piercing awl thrust directly through the gaps in the iron armor, piercing the wooden dummy!

Not bad!

Seeing Bai Wei was satisfied, the boss immediately began to show off again, "This isn't even the most powerful one; I also replicated a triple-bow Bed Crossbow, which deals with cavalry like cutting vegetables!"

After saying this, he reached out and pointed toward the shooting range.

Following the direction of the boss's finger, Bai Wei saw a massive Bed Crossbow placed in the shooting range; its size was larger than a bed, and the three iron arrows were like javelins, thicker than her arm!

If this iron arrow were fired, it could skewer several Heavy Armored Infantry like a kebab!

Bai Wei was excited.

In ancient times, this was a "heavy weapon"; if used to shoot Daliang cavalry, no matter how thick the armor, it couldn't stop it—one arrow could kill a whole group!

The boss was very proud, "I specifically found someone to replicate this, and it cost me 150,000; it's the treasure of my shooting range, I wouldn't sell it for any price..."

"1.5 million, I'll buy it."

The boss, who had been bragging until spit was flying, suddenly went silent.

Again?

He was stunned.

You can't just throw money at people like this.

Bai Wei took out her phone, "Boss, I'll pay cash."

She had plenty of money and didn't care about the cost.

"Deal!"

The armor-piercing awl was 10,000 yuan, and the triple-bow Bed Crossbow was 1.5 million.

Daliang did not have armor-piercing awls, so to make it easier for the ancients to understand, Bai Wei even filmed a video of someone using the armor-piercing awl to stab a dummy.

She copied it all onto a USB Flash Drive and sent it to Xiao Moting.

Northern Frontier Camp.

A Military Doctor ran into the tent in a panic.

"Prince, the patients have run outside the camp, begging you to grant them medicine."

Xiao Moting walked out of the tent and looked outward.

Outside the camp, a dense crowd of people was kneeling, all of them weeping and wailing.

Last time, Bai Wei had sent a batch of medicine, but the quantity was small, and it had all been used on critically ill patients.

Now the medicine was gone, and the remaining patients' conditions had worsened, but with no medicine to take, they could only run to the camp to plead.

These patients included refugees, craftsmen, and soldiers...

The makeshift hospital was already full; they couldn't get in and could only lie at home.

A woman held her child, coughing while crying.

"Prince, I don't need medicine; it doesn't matter if I die of illness. I only beg the Prince to grant one dose of the divine medicine to let my child live."

"My whole family is sick, I beg the Prince to show mercy."

"Prince, please grant us medicine and save us."

The cries and shouts shook the heavens.

Xiao Moting's brows were tightly knit.

The medicine was already gone, but the number of infected patients was increasing, and their conditions were worsening by the day.

He could only beg Bai Wei again.

"First, pacify the patients; I will go and beg Shennü Daren to grant medicine..."

Before he could finish speaking!

Clatter!

A large pile of cardboard boxes poured out from the wardrobe, instantly piling up into a mountain.

Artemisinin, alcohol, syringes...

Before Xiao Moting could recover his senses, the excited cheers of the soldiers rang in his ears.

"The Goddess has heard our pleas; she has sent us medicine."

"Thank you, Shennü Daren!"
