Think differently!
As the captain of the airship brigade, Wang Xinyue has been very depressed recently. The reason for his depression is very simple - there is no use for him!
Now there is no use for the airship troops!
It's not that there is no room for airship troops anymore, it's because the Argentines found a way to crack the darts. In fact, the method is very simple, it's nothing more than adding a cover on the top of the head.
"Compared to bombs, nails are indeed very effective. Those nails falling from the sky can kill and injure exposed personnel. However, after throwing nails a few times, the effect becomes worse and worse, because the enemy has adapted to this style of fighting. They know
, just hiding under the carriage is enough to resist those nails."
On the way to the arsenal, Wang Xinyue complained to deputy captain Xia Weidong who was riding in the same car.
"Unless you change the nails to thicker and heavier nails, you know that in this case, the advantage in quantity will be gone. Accuracy, the key is the accuracy of throwing!"
Why do airship troops like nails? To put it bluntly, it is because the advantage in quantity can make up for the disadvantage in accuracy. But if they use heavier nails, there will naturally be no advantage in quantity.
Of course, more importantly, even if they increase the weight of those nails, it doesn't make much sense, because the power of nails is limited, and only a few layers of wood are enough to withstand the attack of nails.
"It seems that nails are still crooked!"
Wang Xinyue agreed with Xia Weidong's words.
"Yes, for airships, the best weapon is bombs, but not the kind modified from mortar shells. That kind of power is too small. We need one with at least 100 kilograms, or even 500 kilograms.
The power of a heavy bomb is enough to make up for its accuracy. Of course, we should also find ways to improve the accuracy of bomb delivery..."
Through the continuous air strikes against the Argentinians these days, he has fully understood what kind of weapons should be used in air strikes?
Powerful bombs are the way to go!
"Is this why we went to the arsenal this time?"
Xia Weidong asked.
"Well, I personally designed a new type of bomb, a 500-kilogram new bomb. It is heavier than our current heaviest artillery shell, and it has more charges and is more powerful. If everything goes well, at most
In half a month, we will have the opportunity to test the effect of these bombs on the battlefield. If I arrive, he can even destroy the strongest fortress in the world..."
Wang Xinyue, a former naval officer, was also an engineer. In order to solve the problem of nails, he specially designed some new bombs.
"The main thing is to test the effect of heavy bombs. We are here this time just to let them produce these bombs..."
Before Wang Xinyue finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking while staring out the window.
That's... what's that?
What came into view was a strange-looking four-wheeled vehicle. Although it was not pulled by horses, it was still galloping on the road. The speed was neither fast nor slow, but it was much faster than ordinary carriages.
"Car driver, stop the car, stop the car..."
Wang Xinyue jumped off the carriage and looked at the car in surprise. Even though the car was on the opposite side, he still heard a familiar sound - the sound of the internal combustion engine running, and he could still smell the faint smell of gasoline in the air!
"It's an internal combustion engine!"
Wang Xinyue said in surprise.
"Did they actually put an internal combustion engine in the car?"
In fact, as early as the first time he came into contact with the internal combustion engine, Wang Xinyue was keenly aware that this light machine could be mounted on a carriage to replace horses. At that time, he only had this idea and at most he drew a pattern.
, but who would have thought that someone actually did it.
It’s not that someone did it, but under the guidance of the prototype car provided by Zhu Xianhai, Nanhe Locomotive Company finally produced the first car. However, what they built was not a car, but a truck - based on the Maxima car.
Truck developed on.
Almost as soon as the truck started testing, the technical data of the truck appeared in front of Zhu Xianhai.
"It's not easy. From the engine, to the steering gear, to the gearbox, it took five years to finally build it..."
Not manufacturing, but imitation!
But it is not a simple imitation, because what Zhu Xianhai needs is a truck - a truck that can transport soldiers and supplies, not a car for people to enjoy.
Of course, cars will also be needed in the future. After all, cars are the most demanded vehicles, and the development of the world's automobile industry also started with cars.
However, things have changed now in Nanhua. The first trucks manufactured in Nanhua were trucks for transporting supplies.
"Maybe this is the change of history!"
While sighing in his heart, Zhu Xianhai opened the folder, and when he saw the photos in it, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"This...is this our truck?"
What kind of truck is there? It's clearly...a big pickup truck!
It’s a big pickup truck!
That is to say, the rear compartment and trunk of the prototype car were turned into a flat plate and a simple wooden compartment.
That's it...this is very different from the truck Zhu Xianhai imagined!
But after all, a pickup truck is also a truck. A truck that can transport military supplies.
Although it seems a bit small now, when you have a truck, what else do you need for a carriage?
"Yes, sir, this is a "one-type heavy-duty truck" manufactured by Nanhe Company. It is 4.3 meters long and 1.7 meters wide. It uses a 4-cylinder 40-horsepower gasoline engine. Although the load capacity is only 1.2 tons, its performance is extremely good. It can be used on highways.
The maximum speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour, even faster than a train, and the 100-liter fuel tank allows it to travel continuously for 400 kilometers."
Wang Jiamin looked extremely proud in his expression and tone. He was captured together with Zuo Zongtang. As his chief logistics manager, he had already entered Nanhua's school to learn English before Zuo Zongtang went abroad for inspection. Five years ago, he
He studied in the UK and returned to China three years ago. Since last year, he has been in charge of the Nanhe Locomotive Company - the locomotive company located in Nanwan. It is the first enterprise to produce steam locomotives in Nanhua. It is also one of the largest enterprises in Nanhua and also one of the largest enterprises in Nanhua.
The most important enterprise preparing for war.
In fact, in the early planning, Nanhe Locomotive Company was supposed to be built in Nanhua, but due to considerations of war preparation and industrial evacuation, it was placed in Nanyuan City. In fact, due to considerations such as war preparation, Nanhua has been
Hundreds of large and small factories were scattered throughout the country along the railways. Now those factories not only drive local economic development, but also promote the urbanization of Nanhua. Many small towns themselves are centered around factories.
However, the scale of those factories is definitely not comparable to that of Nanhe Locomotive. This company can have more than 5,000 employees. It is a large enterprise ranked among the top in Nanhua. This is why Wang Jiamin can directly meet Zhu Xianhai.
"It can only carry more than one ton of cargo. It is indeed a pickup truck..."
Zhu Xianhai murmured in his heart. The load capacity of this pickup truck was much less than he thought. My load capacity is simply not enough.
Although it is fast and has a long range, what role can such a pickup truck play on the battlefield?
Pickup war?
Use these pickup trucks as high-end motor vehicles for the army?
But now, what the army needs is trucks that can transport more supplies and soldiers.
As for pickup trucks, the demand does not seem to be that strong.
"Lord, according to the calculations of the factory engineer, based on the existing equipment, as long as there is an order, we can produce 10 one-type trucks every day."
Wang Jiamin didn't notice the change in his lord's expression. In his opinion, this kind of car was simply a miracle!
It can carry 2,000 kilograms of cargo and drive day and night. Traveling thousands of miles a day is a piece of cake. As long as there is gasoline and roads, it can even keep driving.
As for what malfunctioned, what parts had to be replaced, or even a flat tire, they were all trivial matters in his opinion. After all, even military horses sometimes lose their shoes.
It is of course inevitable that a car will break down. It can also be completely overcome. There is no problem that cannot be overcome. Moreover, compared with these shortcomings, it has more advantages.
He believes that with these advantages, this kind of truck can conquer everyone.
"Lord, we conducted a long-distance test drive half a month ago. From Nanyuan to Linhai, 60% of the roads along the way are unpaved roads, and there are also people who have crossed the Andes Mountains and traveled long distances.
We fully tested his performance through the test..."
While Wang Jiamin was introducing the experiment of crossing the Andes Mountains, Zhu Xianhai carefully read the report in front of him.
The report lists in detail the long-distance test process of the vehicle as well as the faults that occurred along the way and the time and difficulty of troubleshooting.
Indeed, judging from the test data, the load capacity of this truck may be very average, but in terms of basic performance, it is reasonable. Although several failures occurred during the test run, it is not acceptable during such a long journey.
To avoid it, besides, the times are here, how can the mechanical equipment that has just been invented and manufactured not have faults?
These are just some minor faults that can be eliminated. Well, this car looks really good. The only regret is that its load capacity is too small.
More than a ton?
It is almost at the level of an agricultural tricycle. Agricultural tricycles of this level may not be sufficient, and besides, they are also military trucks.
"...There is definitely no problem with its performance. If I have to find fault, it is that the load capacity is not as good as a standard military carriage. But, Marshal, it does not need horse materials! It is not as difficult to maintain as a horse. As long as it has
With gasoline, you can keep driving. Even if something breaks down, just replace a few parts, I can guarantee that."
Looking at the handsome man, Wang Jiamin patted his chest and promised while talking about the advantages of the car.
"The future will definitely be dominated by cars!"
