Chapter 370 Isn’t it the king’s land in the whole world?
Chapter 370: Is there a king's land under the world?
Emperor Gan Wu nodded and looked at Li Changfeng's motorcycle.
"I'll give it a try,"
"Then be careful."
Li Changfeng moved sideways and pointed at the motorcycle clutch to explain the control method in detail.
After a while, Emperor Gan Wu understood and rode on to start the motorcycle.
thump!
As soon as it started, the engine was shut down.
Li Changfeng reminded: "Slowly loosen the clutch and give some oil."
"knew."
Emperor Gan Wu tried again, and the motorcycle slowly walked up, and his expression gradually became excited.
Seeing that the speed was very slow, Li Jianye instigated: "Father, give it oil. Your speed is too slow. The square in front of the hall is so big, what are you afraid of!"
Emperor Gan Wu glared at Li Jianye fiercely, scaring Li Jianye so much that he shrank his neck, for fear that Emperor Gan Wu would stop and use the belt of the seven wolves to slap him.
Fortunately, Emperor Gan Wu was all focused on his motorcycle, and he was also a hero of a generation.
Although it was the first time riding, I was fearless and knocked the accelerator to the maximum.
He suddenly waved his body back and almost fell off the motorcycle. Li Jianye was so scared that he instantly appeared on his forehead.
Fortunately, Emperor Gan Wu himself is also a martial arts master. He is strong and quick. He quickly stabilized his body and started to rush and lightning in the square in front of the hall.
Seeing this, Li Jianye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Luckily I didn't fall, otherwise I'd been beaten!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly, feeling that Gan Wu, wearing a solemn dragon robe, was riding a motorcycle full of joy.
Soon Emperor Gan Wu became proficient in the method of driving a motorcycle, and rode it in a good manner. After a while, he stopped in front of Li Changfeng and jumped down in agile posture.
"Yes, it's really much better than a horse. Hurry up and build the side three wheels you mentioned. I want the big army to use motorcycles and gradually eliminate motorcycles. Well... let's start with the artillery battalion." Emperor Gan Wu looked a little excited.
Li Changfeng smiled and raised five fingers: "A car is five hundred taels of silver."
Emperor Gan Wu's expression changed slightly: "So expensive?"
In his plan, all the elite troops who worked hard must be equipped with motorcycles. According to the configuration of one car and three people, at least 100,000 vehicles will be required.
If you calculate it in five hundred and two digits, it is simply an astronomical number.
Even Li Jianye, who was standing by, was shocked: "This is too expensive, right?! Even if the national treasury is hollowed out, it will not be able to equip the entire army!"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Do you think this motorcycle is so easy to build? Especially the precision engine has extremely low pass rate, which consumes time, effort and money. Do you want to count the early investment?"
Li Changfeng did not talk nonsense about this matter, and did not have precision machine tools. The manufacturing process of various parts was very rough, and the pass rate was as low as one percent.
In order to ensure that you are profitable, you have to set the price high.
Emperor Gan Wu frowned and said, "Is there any possibility of price dropping?"
“Yes, but it takes a long time.”
Li Changfeng nodded and said, "Actually, you don't need a lot of equipment, just create a motorized force to form combat effectiveness. Anyway, the army of big fights is now invincible in the world."
"What I said is right, then the musket battalion will first be equipped with three hundred vehicles, the Imperial Guard will be equipped with five hundred vehicles, and the Great Inner Guard will be equipped with two hundred vehicles..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Gan Wu glanced at Li Jianye: "Forget it for the Air Force, anyway, you are fighting in the air."
"Father..."
Li Jianye looked unwilling and was about to speak, but Emperor Gan Wu raised his hand to stop him.
"That's it."
There are a total of one thousand vehicles, and it is still 500,000 taels if you count them.
The country has spent more money, so Emperor Gan Wu must consider it balancedly.
Li Changfeng smiled and said, "It's OK to purchase so many in the first batch. Take your time, and there will be armored vehicles and even tanks that are stronger than motorcycles in the future. When it comes to that time, you will find that motorcycles are not actually useful. big."
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu's eyes lit up.
"What are armored vehicles and tanks? They are better than motorcycles?"
Li Jianye also stared at Li Changfeng with curiosity.
Li Changfeng brewed a word and tried to explain in a way that Emperor Gan Wu could understand: "A armored vehicle... Well, you can understand it as a four-wheeled motorcycle, the whole body is made of thick steel plates, let alone arrows. It's the kind that can't be beaten by ordinary shells. It can pull many soldiers and can shoot in the car with guns..."
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu's expression gradually became excited.
Li Jianye urged: "Brother Jiu, what are you waiting for? Build it quickly! With this thing, will our soldiers still suffer casualties?"
Li Changfeng waved his hand and said helplessly: "It's not that simple. The body structure and external armor are easy to do. The main reason is that the engine is not good. It requires a large power output to drive it. The high-power engine cannot be produced in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Li Jianye was a little disappointed.
Emperor Gan Wu asked curiously: "What's going on with the tank you mentioned?"
"Tanks are just using crawlers... This is hard to explain. Anyway, father, you only need to know that it is better than wheels and it is full of thick armor. The most important thing is that the tank is equipped with cannons, which can be very fast The driving.”
Emperor Gan Wu could still control his emotions when he heard the armored vehicles. After hearing the tank, he could no longer control it and exclaimed.
"Driving with a cannon? It means you can shoot while driving?!"
As a powerful weapon, the biggest disadvantage of artillery is that its mobility is too poor, and it is extremely troublesome to move its bulky cannon body.
This makes it difficult for artillery today to play the role of defending the city.
If tanks solve this problem, it will make the combat effectiveness of the Dakan army achieve a qualitative leap.
Li Changfeng nodded: "Yes, these can be achieved theoretically, but the requirements for the body of the gun are higher and the engine's power are also high. The main price will be dozens or hundreds of times that of a motorcycle, and a large amount of equipment is Unrealistic.”
Emperor Gan Wu laughed and said, "Da Gan is developing rapidly now and cannot be equipped with a large amount of equipment now. Who knows in the future? Just hurry up and develop it. I hope to see armored vehicles and tanks in my lifetime."
Li Changfeng casually said: "I understand."
In fact, he has no interest in armored vehicles and tanks for the time being.
Who are you going to fight with such awesome weapons?
Are you fighting the Hu tribe who rides horses and shoots archers, or are you who can’t even get gunpowder?
Now that the big moves are invincible, there is no need to waste time and energy on such things.
If you have that energy, it’s better to invent a real car as soon as possible.
Emperor Gan Wu, who was excited, did not notice Li Changfeng's perfunctory attitude, and was still imagining the future of the army.
"With armored vehicles and tanks, I have the capital to conquer the world. I can truly achieve the king's land under the world, and I can only lead the king's ministers in the shores of the earth!"
