Chapter 134
At the end of the day, the clouds in the southwest became thicker and thicker, and the wind gradually increased. Even in the government office, it seemed that the loud noise of the waves crashing on the shore could be heard. ? By the time of Shenshi, it was already dark outside, and after a burst of lightning and thunder,
, a downpour suddenly fell, and the entire city of Guangzhou was shrouded in wind and rain.
Candles were lit everywhere in the inner study, illuminating every corner. There was a rumble of thunder, broken branches and fallen leaves beating against the doors and windows, and the crisp sound of tiles blown to the ground by the wind. Wang De directed several
He opened a small yellow door to check whether the doors and windows were closed tightly and whether there was any leakage in the roof. He peeked at the young prince from time to time. At this moment, he was sitting quietly in front of the desk with his chin in his hands and stared blankly at the candlelight on the desk. He didn't know what he was thinking.
The wind and rain outside didn't seem to affect his thinking at all.
In fact, Zhao Bing was afraid at the moment. If he hadn't habitually glanced at the storm bottle at that time, the fleet heading to Qiongzhou at this moment would have been completely destroyed. Thousands of lives were lost in the wind and rain, and hundreds of ships' supplies sank.
At the bottom of the sea. This will be a heavy blow to the still weak Shuai Mansion, and may even affect the development of the situation in Qiongzhou, and even change the general trend of the entire country. As a result, it is very likely that his 'little boat' will capsize just after it sets sail.
"It is imperative to establish a weather forecasting agency, and we must not delay it any longer." Zhao Bing secretly thought that it was a pure luck to escape the disaster this time, and he would definitely be so lucky again, so he must establish a specialized agency to control it.
Weather changes are not only related to one's own safety, but also to the process of war and the rise and fall of the country.
It is by no means sensational for Zhao Bing to think so. Weather and climate, as variable factors of battlefield environmental conditions, play an extremely important role in wars both in the cold weapon era and in modern high-tech conditions. The Battle of Chibi is Zhuge Liang's.
He used hundreds of thousands of arrows borrowed from a heavy fog to consolidate the foundation of the alliance with Wu to fight against Wei, and used a strong wind to create a classic battle in which Cao's camp was set on fire and a small number defeated a large number, thus establishing the three-point pattern of the world.
In modern times, Zhao Bing knows that more and more countries and researchers have begun to notice the close relationship between weather, climate and war, and are trying to find examples of wars from the vast sea of historical records that are enlightening to the world today, summarizing the relationship between human beings and human beings.
The valuable experience and lessons gained in the process of "fighting, fighting with the sky". Now it has even reached the point where modern scientific and technological means can be used to artificially create earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy rains, flash floods, avalanches, high temperatures, aerosols and other natural disasters to transform the battlefield environment.
Meteorological warfare to achieve military purposes.
The greatest impact on ancient naval battles was wind and tide. Waves can change the course and navigation of ships, and even cause hull resonance to break the hull and damage harbors, docks, underwater projects and coastal protection projects. Small waves can help warships approach concealedly.
Enemy, large waves will affect the safe navigation of ships, which is not conducive to boarding operations. Mastering the time of tide generation and the water depth at high and low tides are important conditions for ensuring the safety of ship navigation, entering and exiting ports, passing through narrow waterways, and operating in shallow water areas. It is also an important condition for ensuring the safety of ship navigation.
Important factors that must be considered include constructing military ports and water airports, conducting hydrographic survey, building coastal defenses, organizing boarding operations, anti-boarding operations and underwater engineering construction.
In the Battle of Luermen, Zheng Chenggong used the tide change to lead his troops to successfully pass through Luermen and ascend to the 6th, creating a favorable situation for dividing and encircling the Dutch enemy forces, ensuring the smooth recovery of Taiwan. Perhaps in the Battle of Yashan that will still happen in the near future, the enemy general Li Heng
They also took advantage of the rising tide to attack the Song army from behind with warships, controlling another waterway and cutting off the access to fresh water. In the end, the combat effectiveness of the Song army's soldiers, who had no water to drink, dropped sharply, which indirectly led to the failure of the battle and the complete destruction of the country.
of.
It is precisely because of the important impact of weather factors on war that we should pay attention to using them to avoid their negative impact on operations. Only in this way can we ensure the victory of the war at the level of meteorological factors. Zhao Bing is certainly not stupid enough to think that he can create something that can
The super weapon that affected the climate wiped out the Tatars in one fell swoop. He just hoped to be able to predict short-term weather changes and not cause big trouble to himself.
In the Song Dynasty, in addition to experience, people could only place their trust in weather forecasting on those magicians who could calculate and observe the sky at night. He knew how unreliable this was. To expect them, it is better to believe that roosters can lay eggs. But even if
In the previous life, the weather forecasts made by the meteorological department with modern tools were often criticized and ridiculed by the majority of netizens, so Zhao Bing knew that the 'storm bottle' in his hand was definitely not completely reliable.
Through this period of use, Zhao Bing discovered that the storm bottle had a fatal flaw. It only provided real-time forecasts, which left them little time to react. For example, this time it happened when the fleet had not set sail.
, if they have already entered the sea and have no way to go to the village or store, even if they know that the storm is coming, they have no choice but to resign themselves to fate. And I have been able to successfully use the forecast of the storm bottle twice, which can not but be said to be true.
The lucky ingredient is in it.
To solve the shortcomings of the storm bottle, the only way is to use other ways and means to judge the weather changes, and then corroborate them to make predictions. But the only way at the moment is the storm bottle, which is even more embarrassing.
What's more, this guy doesn't have any brothers yet. There's only one of them in the world so far. If it breaks down, there's nowhere to look for it. Now that I don't have only one boat, I can't follow him out to sea again and again without effective communication methods.
Even though his eyesight was still dark.
"Maybe I can find a companion for it!" Thinking of this, Zhao Bing thought. The ingredients of the solution in the storm bottle are not complicated. They are just distilled water, camphor, ethanol, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride. These things are not difficult either.
Look, if it can be successfully trial-produced and equipped with this thing on every warship of the Shuai Mansion Navy, it will be able to keep track of weather changes at any time. Although it cannot be said to be foolproof, it is still guaranteed by multiple layers.
"Wang De, let's go to the Medical Bureau right away." The bright future made Zhao Bing unable to sit still, and he stood up and said.
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? I will immediately order someone to call for the doctor!" Wang De thought that His Highness was ill, so he quickly came over and said.
"Is this king okay? I'm going to find something!" Zhao Bing pushed him away and said.
"Your Highness, it's windy and rainy outside, how can we get there? Why don't we wait until tomorrow?" Wang De pointed to the door and advised.
"We can't wait any longer. Even if we go under the knife, we have to go." Zhao Bing said loudly.
"Yes!" Seeing His Highness say this, Wang De didn't dare to persuade him any more. He hurriedly ordered someone to find a raincoat for His Highness to put on, and then found a few strong Xiaohuangmen to guard him and rushed into the rain...
