There is still a gap between the model and the real thing. Even though Lu Jun did a very good job when making the model before, there were still many problems during the construction. Fortunately, this design has now attracted a lot of hidden figures.
Overcome difficulties one by one.
Speaking of this, Chen Xi has to say that after the reunification, there were a lot more people available, and some old guys who knew where they were hiding came out again with the unification of the world, and then relied on their own inheritance to give them considerable
support.
However, the problems faced by the seventh-generation ships now are not only the problems of the annihilation of the past inheritance, but also many new technical problems. Fortunately, no matter how difficult it is, the group of guys with ideals and ambitions who were deceived by Lu Jun
, one by one, just like moths flying into the fire.
For example, he had quit the mechanical industry and even donated his own milling machine. He said with foul words that his whole family would be mentally retarded if he touched machinery again, and then took a large sum of money allocated by Chen Xi to engage in business.
Last year, everyone was so excited by Lu Jun’s magnificent ideals that they felt that the circle of mechanics couldn’t lack fools like them!
So they took back all the money Chen Xi gave them for business and invested it in the great machinery and equipment industry. By the way, they sold the policy support Chen Xi allocated to their family for the sake of the milling machine to another family. Simply
In other words, it is a backdoor listing.
As for the most outrageous thing, I was too harsh in the past and told the whole family to withdraw from the mechanical industry. They all admitted that they were mentally retarded. Then last year they developed a hydraulic stamping machine. Now they are using this to hammer steel plates to increase their strength.
In short, I really made Chen Xi understand what it means that even if I let go, as long as I am willing, I can not only swallow it back, but also spit it out again. It is simply unscrupulous, but in the end I just let it go. History has proved that things like Xianri's
It would be more reliable to buy siege machinery.
According to Chen Xi's estimation, if this wave of people can really build the seventh-generation ship, many mechanical structural problems will be solved, leaving a lot of valuable property for the future Han Dynasty.
It's just that this progress is a bit frustrating, but this is also a matter of course.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xi saw Guo Jiashen chanting silently, and couldn't help but ask, "Reciting sutras?"
"I am praying. After listening to your words, my expectations for the seventh-generation ship have dropped by five points. Now I have decided to place my hopes on Gong Jin and Bo Fu." Guo Jia said with great sincerity,
Seventh-generation ships or something like that, based on what Chen Xi said before, Guo Jia also felt that it would be better to give less hope.
"I told you before, it's better to place your hopes on Gong Jin first." Chen Xi curled his lips and said. The seventh-generation ship is indeed very important, but the crew is different from other arms. It really requires a lot of experience.
Yes, to say it too much, if the seventh-generation ship is given to Zhou Yu now, Zhou Yu may not be able to exert its due combat effectiveness.
Even if it goes too far, if there is not enough crew and a naval force with sufficient technical experience, maybe the seventh-generation ship will be given to Zhou Yu, and it will be snatched by Kushan.
This is really not a joke. After all, there is another tactic in naval warfare called boarding battle. Chen Xi can't guarantee whether Guishang can withstand it, but with the current performance, to be honest, Chen Xi is really not at ease. He really wants to show his seventh generation.
The combat effectiveness of the ship must at least wait until Zhou Yu truly adapts to naval combat.
"Alas, the national situation is difficult." Guo Jia sighed and said, "Other problems are not big. The problem of the navy has really become a critical issue now. We have not invested in this aspect before and gave up for too long. Now we suddenly
I’m really not used to meeting such an opponent.”
"We can't choose our opponents, but we can learn from them. We have enough time and energy to drag it out. As long as the war does not happen in our homeland and we can maintain it, victory will be a matter of time," Chen Xi said.
Said with strong confidence.
Chen Xi has considerable confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty. It is not that the Central Plains has never conducted ocean voyages. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were sea voyages. However, it was not worth it later, so it was abandoned. If you really want to say it, what kind of gods and ghosts is there in the Central Plains?
The ghost thing never appeared.
To be honest, in 485 BC, Wu State and Qi State had a large-scale naval battle in the Yellow Sea. The warships at that time had already been built to a size of more than 30 meters, and the number of participating ships exceeded 100.
, already possesses some ocean-going capabilities.
However, seven hundred years have passed, and the Han Dynasty has no relevant technology at all. Before Chen Xi took over Qingzhou, the ships built by the Han Dynasty were still more than 30 meters long, and the largest ones were flat ships. What should Chen Xi do?
, after feeding the dogs for seven hundred years, what can Chen Xi do?
Even if Chen Xi organizes people everywhere to start developing new types of ships, it is not a joke to make up for the 700-year window. If you really want to say which country has the strongest early warships, even Rome will stand aside. The Central Plains dare not say
The first, but definitely the earliest wave.
The time when warships were really played in the Mediterranean was the Greco-Persian War, and they were basically on the same foot with the Central Plains. When Rome and Carthage fought and the Mediterranean was a mess, it was more than two hundred years later than the Central Plains, and the scale was
Not as good as Wu and Qi for two hundred years.
You must know that this related technology tree has not been clicked for two hundred years, and it has not been pushed down by the times. However, it has not been clicked since then, and it is really abandoned now.
As a result, the Han Dynasty in ocean-going technology has still not started up. Otherwise, the level of naval warfare seven hundred years ago would have already become an ocean-going giant. As for making up lessons here and there like now.
But after all, the foundation is still there. After Rome killed Carthage and the Mediterranean became an inland sea, technological innovation was just that.
Guishang killed Baicheng, took over Baicheng's inheritance, and had Sisi to support him. Chen Xi estimated that the gap would only be a few decades at most. It was not a big problem. The Han Dynasty could catch up with a few efforts.
After all, the Han Dynasty also spent two hundred years on the ocean, and even by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was able to conduct cross-sea operations. However, it was later discovered that this thing was of no use and was abandoned. Of course, the information should still be there, otherwise it would not be possible.
As for the southeastern coast, there is still good shipbuilding technology, but ocean-going crews and sailors need to be retrained.
Compared with warships, as long as the technology is in place, other things are not a problem at all. Crews really rely on experience and seniority, so there is no rush.
"Sigh. There are a lot of questions. What did our ancestors think? We obviously ordered a lot of things back then, but now we are overtaken." Guo Jia sighed, feeling quite helpless.
This feeling is like when you restart certain research in the 21st century, you will find that you have almost the same technology as you did when you restarted it in the 1980s. It deeply makes people wonder what they were doing all those years ago.
"It's just that the social environment at that time was not suitable. The Wu State was a group of gods back then, and they were of the same mind. Now that the monarch is so devoted, he will definitely be able to deliver." Chen Xi said matter-of-factly, why did GM appear in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods? Isn't that because
Are all those who don’t have this thing dead?
"It's really a pity. It has been neglected for seven hundred years. When I dug out these bamboo slips and oracle bones from the library that I don't know which family had thrown them, I didn't know what to say." Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said,
Who knows who brought this in to deal with Chen Xi's mission? They probably felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the Tibetan family, so it would be better to send it out so that everyone can be embarrassed together.
"Yes, if there is no break in the middle, even if it is just a little bit every ten years, we should have the greatest advantage now." Chen Xi nodded, and he agreed with this.
Seven hundred years, the shipbuilding industry in the Central Plains has not seen much major innovation in seven hundred years. One day, the Han Dynasty suddenly went to sea and encountered another country's regular navy, and it could barely keep up with the trend of history. Chen Xi sometimes wondered.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with the world.
Or ask more seriously, what kind of monsters were we back then?
"But now I heard that the technology is equal to the opponent's?" Guo Jia asked casually.
"The castrated version of the seventh-generation ship has some technical advantages over the opponent, but there is no generation difference. According to the news from the Xun family, Kushan's technology is superior to the seventh-generation ship, but they don't have the materials now.
Already." Chen Xi sighed and said.
The seventh-generation ships and the warships of the Kushan side each have their own advantages. There is basically no generational difference. There are some problems with the emphasis on both sides. However, the Han Dynasty has enough materials, some of which are training materials, while the Kushan side has restarted the shipbuilding plan.
, it’s a pity that the materials are insufficient.
"Although it's a bit shady, but it's effective." Guo Jia didn't say anything when he heard this. It has been very difficult to catch up technically in the past ten years. If he wants to fully travel through time, he may have to wait for the true seventh-generation ship to come on stage and complete the leap.
A breakthrough.
"So hold on for now. Duke Xuande has suppressed Gong Jin and Bo Fu's self-deprecating memorial. The ministers know a lot about the news, but they have no intention of discussing it. On the contrary, the Censor
There was some movement over there, but it was suppressed in the end." Chen Xi sighed, it was rare to see the Han Dynasty be so united.
"Suppressed? Are those aristocratic families?" Guo Jia asked casually, and then gave the answer in a rhetorical manner.
"Well, it's that group of people. As expected, for a group, talking about morality is not as good as talking about interests. They all have tough words, but they are very honest." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, that group of people, as long as the interests are big enough, they
It can make the censors collectively shut up.
"This is really too much." Guo Jia scolded with a smile, "But it's good. I wonder if it can be compared with this time when Zhou was defeated in a thousand years."
"That wasn't a moral battle, and the benefits that time were not as great as this one?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
