"I think so too." Liu Bei smiled happily. It's not that he doesn't have other sons, but Liu Chan is the eldest son after all, and Liu Chan is the only son who has inspired the manifestation of the national destiny. He has a purple gold crown, a Beidou in his arms, and a Ziwei star.
ah.
"Anyway, I think you have nothing to do. You can take him to visit more places." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Look at this great country, look at the hard-working and honest people who rely on work to support their families, let him understand that
What exactly does the position shoulder?"
"If you say so, I should go find the eldest princess tomorrow." Liu Bei scolded with a smile.
"Qi Huangong is also an option." Chen Xi said with a chuckle, and Liu Bei nodded.
After getting out of Liu Bei's side, Chen Xi discovered that it was snowing in Chang'an. He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes and looked at the passers-by, and couldn't help but be startled.
"Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Chen Xi turned to the empty space behind him and said.
Han Qiong appeared and was slightly silent. He was also a little confused because he also saw the golden couple in front of him - Lu Xun and Mi Zhen!
Compared to Mi Zhen, who was the eldest sister a few years ago, Lu Xun is now a head above water, and looks much more pleasing to the eye than back then. But if you think about it carefully, no, Lu Xun went south to Sun Ce to participate in the naval battle.
, how could he still be in Chang'an?
Just when Chen Xi was confused, Lu Xun also saw Chen Xi, strode over and saluted Chen Xi, "I have met the master."
Mi Zhen also bowed slightly and saluted generously, "I have met Chen Hou."
Compared to back then, Mi Zhen's temperament has become much more restrained now, and the unruly willfulness she once had has dissipated with the wind.
"I remember in the middle of the year, you said you wanted to go south to show what you had learned. Why did you come back?" Chen Xi squinted at Lu Xun. He didn't remember that his apprentice was such a person who broke his word, let alone
In order for Lu Xun to demonstrate what he had learned, Chen Xi wrote the letter himself and asked Lu Xun to take it with him so that Lu Xun would not waste time. As a result, what is happening now.
"There is no point in going south anymore." Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Maybe the tactics of naval battles are really important, but no matter how important the tactics are, they lose their due meaning when faced with the kind of decisive steel giant ship. Strategy
Tactics have lost their value when encountering this kind of thing."
In the middle of the year, Lu Xun personally visited Chen Xi and said that he was going to fight. Although Chen Xi was very hesitant, he still agreed. However, Lu Xun went all the way. When he arrived in Donglai, he saw that it was half-formed, and the keel structure had already been completed.
Looking at the assembled steel giant ship and looking at his father's proud expression, Lu Xun suddenly felt that the future of naval warfare was already doomed.
"How about this? This is your father and I's amazing masterpiece. After several revisions, the keel structure has finally been completed. After completing this step, there are not many remaining difficulties. It is only a matter of time before we overcome them one by one."
Jun said energetically, with no hint of submissiveness on his face. Career is always the catalyst for masculinity.
The young man who was always submissive when he met the water thieves back then, the courage he showed at this moment was enough to make Lu Xun, who was used to Chang'an heroes, startled. His father had actually reached this point, with no less heroic spirit.
Those heroes in Chang'an.
"Incredible masterpiece." Lu Xun said with admiration. Even when he looked at this thing, he was dazzled by it. Even though this giant ship has not yet been completed, Lu Xun clearly felt the power of steel.
"Hmph, in order to build this thing, we just designed and built a few warehouses. What we originally thought was a simple thing really needs to be demonstrated for every item. A total of 80,000 people are surrounding this thing. From one
From the newcomers at the beginning, now everyone can be called an excellent craftsman, and a large amount of money is poured into it every year." Lu Jun said with pride.
"It's almost done, right?" Lu Xun murmured and asked, looking at the tall keel, he could vaguely feel the beating soul inside.
"The direction is correct. All that's left is time." Lu Jun said with a hint of complexity on his face. The money Chen Xi poured in every year made even Lu Jun feel numb.
"How strong will it be?" Lu Xun asked curiously.
"Eliminate all the previous battleships. All the battleships born before it lose their meaning in the face of it. It is roughly the ultimate battleship that ends the entire era." Lu Jun said with heartfelt pride, "Even if it is its
The imitation seventh-generation ship also poses no threat."
An invincible battleship in the true sense, this is the conclusion Lu Jun came to, an epoch-making product and the ultimate combat weapon.
"Before its birth, naval warfare had tactics and techniques. But after it, unless the opponent can come up with the same thing, tactics and techniques have lost their meaning. They can't attack, defend, or escape."
Lu Jun said with emotion.
Lu Xun was slightly silent. He looked at the big ship, thinking about Zhou Yu's original battle report, and asked what he would do if he encountered the Saixi family's fighting method.
"This ship should no longer be called a ship, it should be regarded as a kind of city. The cloud energy reserve is there, and even the foundation is far more than the opponent. The only thing that can defeat this ship is nature. The opponent,
If there are no battleships to fight with them, there is basically no hope." Lu Jun said with confidence.
After that, Lu Xun was doing research in the shipyard. He could go south later. Studying the development direction of future naval battles was also something that the general should consider. However, as he studied and studied, Lu Xun realized a fact. His father said
Maybe it's true.
Especially as Lu Xun obtained more and more information, Lu Xun became more and more aware of the things his father made. In the end, Lu Xun finally realized what his father said. Yes, this battleship is really powerful.
It is possible that all naval battles will be swept into history.
After four months of research, Lu Xun fully understood that the dragon-slaying skills he had learned were useless. No matter how good the naval battle tactics were, they would only be like a mantis against a chariot. His courage was commendable, but it was definitely a dead end.
So Lu Xun came back.
"That's it. The more I understand about that battleship, the more I understand the future situation. Are naval battle tactics really useful for this kind of thing?" Lu Xun looked at Chen Xi in confusion. Lu Xun's father successfully ruined Lu Yue's plans for naval battles.
Only awareness.
Chen Xi also fell silent after hearing this. He really didn't think Lu Jun could build that steel battleship at first. Even if all the experimental demonstrations were correct, Chen Xi also knew what kind of industrial accumulation was needed to build a dreadnought ship.
Did the Han Dynasty have this kind of accumulation? No, not at all. A group of master craftsmen were embarrassed by a steam engine, and they actually wanted to build a dreadnought.
But why Chen Xi still invests money even though he knows it is not sure, because the construction of this thing can greatly promote the development of industry, and can accumulate a huge number of skilled workers in a leapfrog manner. In the process of construction, he can accumulate wealth by overcoming difficulties.
and improve a large number of industrial bases.
After all, for such a big fun, there will definitely be a group of interested people joining, and interest is the best teacher. What kind of fighting power can these interested people gather together? Chen Xi is very excited when he thinks about it, so Chen Xi
Construction was approved.
After all, the money was not really given, but the money was transferred to Lu Jun, who then went to the state to purchase supplies, which was regarded as a means of stimulating domestic demand.
What happened in the end was that Chen Xi took away the technology he had conquered during shipbuilding, took away the manpower milling machines and lathes he had accumulated, and turned them into skilled workers, and recycled the people whose skills had greatly increased, and then pulled back the iron and steel invested.
Reforge it into a weapon, you won't lose a penny, you will make a profit.
As for the time lost, it is nothing compared to the gains.
However, what shocked Chen Xi was that this group of people really relied on various flashes of inspiration, relying on the technology left by their ancestors to innovate, relying on standardization, bearings, balls, gears, etc., to really improve the seventh-generation ship bit by bit.
Get started.
If Lu Jun came to Chen Xi with a complete plan, Chen Xi estimated that there was only a 1% chance that it could be completed. Now, there is basically a 70% chance that it can be completed. The only thing
It is the driving force of the problem, and this group of people should have conquered it.
This is very scary, so scary that Chen Xi occasionally thinks about how many technical barriers this has overcome.
Therefore, when faced with Lu Xun's question, Chen Xi really couldn't answer it, because Lu Jun was right, the seventh-generation ship can really sweep all previous warships into the garbage heap.
This is no longer a tactical or strategic issue, but a very real technical issue.
If people like Hannibal, Alexander, Bai Qi, and Han Xin used twentieth-century tactics to fight the war in BC, it was already an almost unsolvable situation, then using weapons made with twentieth-century technology to fight AD
The initial war was completely unsolvable.
"Probably really invincible." Although Chen Xi hesitated, he still made a conclusion. After all, this is the final result of the hard work of a three-digit master with tens of thousands of outstanding craftsmen, and his hard work is no more than that of the so-called famous craftsmen.
will be less.
"Then what's the use of learning this art of war?" Lu Xun said mockingly to himself.
Why famous generals and advisers had a very high status in ancient times, but now scientists have a very high status? The most realistic point is that the latter really have the power to change the world, or even overturn it. The simplest way to compare status and power is
The intensity of its impact on human civilization!
The impact of the seventh-generation ship on Lu Xun made Lu Xun really start to doubt the significance of what he had learned before. No matter how good you are at using your troops, no matter how good you are at outflanking and inserting, and no matter how sophisticated your command is, what's the use?
failed.
"Because sooner or later, the opponent will have such a thing." Chen Xi sighed and said, but how long will it take?
