New things always attract the attention of many people. Small and medium-sized companies in Qin State began to look for these technicians to upgrade and manufacture the technology.

However, some savvy people noticed that in order to develop and popularize such things, electric wires must be needed, so they turned to find another technology that can popularize electric wires on a large scale.

Shangwen’s worries are completely unnecessary, because in the liberalized state of Qin, as long as people need it, someone will always find a way to solve these things. Isn’t there a shortage of wires? Naturally, someone wants to get it.

Experimenters discover that organic peroxides can speed up the polymerization of vinyl chloride, a discovery that is being transferred to the commercial field to speed up the production of polyvinyl chloride

Just when everyone's eyes were on electricity, Qin's automobile industry also had new inventions

First of all, the appearance of the gasoline engine and the appearance of the battery spark plug made the gasoline engine, a light internal combustion engine, appear, and then people used it in cars

Secondly, there are two major differences in the cars of Qin State. One is wheeled cars, which is natural, but the other is crawler cars. The crawler cars are mainly products of diesel engines.

Since there is no rubber, there are no tires. Wheel cars are prone to bumps. Tracked cars have changed this. They can be very stable but slow. But their load capacity is a huge advantage. The difference is there. Immediately after that, there was a big competition. Qin State held the first mechanical car competition.

593 Navy's sea plan

Mechanical vehicle is the collective name for automobiles and other motor vehicles in Qin State. People have a strange view of machinery because these mechanical vehicles are always strange in length.

However, the reason why the competition is only held between mechanical vehicles is that at this time the cars still cannot exceed the speed of the horses. Horses are still one of the main forces of road transportation in the Qin State, and these cars are either made very large or too light and look very unsafe. Wheel Quad to Tracked Variety

Moreover, although the sound of these mechanical vehicles is much smaller than before, it still exists after all.

These vehicles come from the major carriage manufacturers in Qin State. They have already begun to shift part of their energy in manufacturing carriages to the research and development of mechanical vehicles, just like trains. One day in the future, Qin State will definitely replace those horses with mechanical vehicles.

No car could complete the race because many cars broke down halfway, or the water tanks boiled, or the parts were severely worn out, causing the entire car to be scrapped. Although the race was not completed, a new era of history was created. Qin is working hard. Towards the mechanical age

Compared with horse-drawn carriages and trains, a major change is required. First, the emergence of welding technology, so that the boilers of Qin State trains can be made larger and larger. The increase in traction means that Qin State trains can pull more goods and people at one time.

Secondly, the scientific researchers of the State of Qin focused new attention on diesel engines. Diesel engines are not only light, but also can explode traction several times better than steam engines. Not only diesel engines, but also trams. People hope to find a traction locomotive that is more convenient and smaller.

Finally, the emergence of train tracks and steel rails made Qin State start to modify some of the completed train tracks. They wanted to replace the original rails with steel rails because the carrying capacity of trains was limited by these rails. In order to speed up the replacement and laying, Qin State's engineers began to think. A method that can be constructed in winter is the modular cement plate, that is, pouring certain model cement indoors and then transporting it to the engineering unit for linking according to the linking points. This technology is a very bold and innovative idea. If it succeeds Qin's engineering projects will greatly shorten the construction time

On behalf of the Qin State Navy, Zhang Han of the General Staff submitted a plan to go to sea. The Qin State Navy not only established a port, but also built ships at an extremely fast speed. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River have a large amount of high-quality wood for them to use. In the south, log harvesting began. Although there is still no faster way of transportation from the north to the south for his large-scale development, Qin State is working hard to open this road and build a railway in the next year

According to the ship identification method provided by Shangwen, the Navy built a large wooden battleship with more than one hundred guns, and two cruisers with 58 guns under construction, two destroyers, one frigate, and twelve ships with guns. Fast gunboats with one gun These ships are bigger than originally thought

The number of ships under construction in Qin State is also speeding up construction, but the personnel situation is not very optimistic. The number of sailors and crews recruited by Qin State is very limited. The current situation of Qin State Navy is very embarrassing. There are ships, but there are very few artillery pieces on board. There are also few personnel. Large battleships need at least nearly 400 people, but barely 200 people are on the post. Few people in the navy club pay attention to it. The main reason is that ocean trade has not started. The main resources people obtain come from the west, north and huge inland areas.

So Zhang Han is very anxious about this. He hopes that through this plan, he can greatly exchange the support of the government for the next year. Best, the navy can rush out of the Yangtze River and go to the sea by the end of this year.

The plan is divided into two

The first one is relatively moderate, Qin State will use diplomatic means to obtain Qin State’s right to use a section of the Yangtze River waterway from Chu State.

The main method is that the fleet will attack the berths of the ships from the upstream. In fact, the Chu army also has a naval force, and the number of its ships is as high as a thousand, but their ships are all old-fashioned warships. Although Qin is a wooden The shell ship has three sails and is equipped with an advanced shooting system. Qin Guo designed a rope system to slow down the recoil of the artillery so that surface warfare can be fought in a limited space.

Although the Qin State’s navy is small, it is expensive because it is excellent. The Qin State’s navy hopes to harass the other party through continuous attacks and force it to let Qin State have part of the Yangtze River use right.

The second is to build large-scale small and medium-sized ships, that is, enlarged versions of gunboats. These ships are small and flexible, and can quickly attack the opposing navy. It is also hoped that low-cost ships can achieve the same purpose as the first plan.

Wang Jian is the general of the army and the navy. He doesn't know about it, but he understands that Zhang Han's idea of ​​calculating according to Chu's war potential will not work. He immediately returned the plan and only left a copy as a reference. After all, the prime minister is still in foreign affairs. have a great say

The naval plan was sent back to Zhang Han, who felt that the scale of the war should be increased. When the plan was delivered to Shang Wen, Shang Wen supported the plan, but he did not support the plan. The reason was that Qin State was underdeveloped in the south. The navy, but the logistical supply is really too difficult

The state of Qin does not have a fast way to the south. There are no highways, roads, or railways, and the navy lacks important weapons and artillery. The last point is that the materials of the ships of the Qin state navy are still made of wood. advantage at all

From a technical analysis, the new warships of the Qin State Navy have a speed advantage, but don’t forget that you have an advantage at sea, but this is an inland water system. The width of the river is limited, and the hydro-meteorological data Qin State does not have an advantage, so Qin State’s new style Warships have the advantage of artillery, but your artillery is too small. Hungry tigers can’t beat wolves. Historical data have proved that if one side takes advantage of the local hydrological and meteorological advantages to attack with fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shangwen’s idea is still to postpone the development in the south for one year. When the foundation is established, the navy will fully reinstall the iron-clad ships or steel hulls.

".

The navy's plan to go to sea is related to Qin's overseas strategic vision, but at present, Qin still does not have the conditions to go to sea. Qin's development of the south is seriously insufficient. The land of Bashu was only providing food and logistics guarantee for Qin before, and the road transportation was in bad condition. will directly lead to insufficient development of the South

If Qin wants to solve this problem, it must prioritize some domestic resource allocation in this direction. Only in this way can the amount of resource allocation be accelerated. However, Qin currently has no such demand, and there is no resource that can attract Qin's resources. Interest in Demand The south seems to have no huge incentive to attract Qin to allocate resources to this, except for timber and food.

Moreover, the core of this immature plan mentioned limited war for the first time. It seems that Zhang Han has already noticed the benefits of Qin's products entering the Chu market. If there is a full-scale war, Qin will mobilize a series of military resources to fight against this. It's what Qin doesn't want to see

Although the role of war in promoting commercial development is obvious, it will undoubtedly increase government expenditures. Government expenditures will once again enter a period of inexhaustible debts. This is what Shang Wen tried his best to avoid. The second war will increase the tax burden of Qin. In terms of the current war potential, there shouldn't be any problem in annexing a Chu state, but it will do a lot of harm to Qin.

Qin's taxation will break the current balance. Qin's tax quota will increase to about 5.00%. This amount has exceeded Shangwen's level of acceptance. Three percent is Shangwen's psychological bottom line.

Not only that, the prosperous and developing economy of Qin State will be hit hard. The increase in taxes will reduce the level of investment. At the same time, Qin State is attacking the market of Chu State, Qin State’s largest market, which will inevitably slow down Qin State’s economy. Qin State will annex a country and drag itself into it. In the quagmire of the economic crisis

Moreover, how the Chu State will merge and how to develop the Qin State is still not ready. Although the force has reached this level, the management level is still not reached. War must be limited.

So in the end, it must return to the diplomatic goal, Qin will use economic aid to attack diplomacy by force, etc. to achieve the goal of allowing Chu to open the golden waterway

This is the strategic plan prepared by Shang Wen in advance. Shang Wen submitted this idea to the General Staff in the form of a memorandum.

And just when Qin's high-level officials were preparing to plan for the navy in advance, Qin's artillery technology made a major breakthrough

The major breakthrough of artillery is to solve the serious recoil problem of artillery. The state of Qin has solved the problem of artillery materials one after another. Qin has cold-rolled steel and hot-rolled steel with high quality and endurance. Cold-rolled steel is used for the inner lining of artillery, so that artillery shells produce The high temperature and high pressure can be effectively controlled

The gun body adopts the technology of wrapping the gun barrel and tightening the gun barrel, and then changes the charge of the artillery. It uses a more powerful explosive. Although there is only a single-base charge, this charge has allowed the artillery to reach an astonishing range. The range of ten miles to twelve miles exceeds all long-range weapons in Qin State

But the problem also came along with it. The artillery power is getting bigger and bigger, and the recoil is getting bigger and bigger. If there is no good recoil device, a Qin cannon will fall back a long distance after firing, and the firing accuracy and safety. The performance is also put to the test, and it is precisely because of the recoil problem that Qin's standard artillery still uses the relatively backward six-inch artillery, but the ammunition package and loading method have been improved, but the recoil cannot be solved, so Qin cannot have this powerful artillery.

There is always a solution. The first type of steel gun mount is used on artillery, but this kind of steel gun mount is fine for defending fixed fortresses. If it is used for mobile operations, it is obviously not a good choice because the steel gun mount is very It is heavy and heavy, and if it is pulled by a carriage, its speed is very slow. It can be said that after the war on the front line, this artillery will not reach Qin State. Only two were purchased to defend Hangu Pass, and the rest were never purchased again because of this artillery. It's too bulky. If it wasn't for the Hangu Pass, the military wouldn't know how to transport it to Hangu Pass.

The problem will always be solved. Qin’s automobile industry has begun to develop. Cars and trains all need good shock absorbers, especially crawler vehicles. A better shock absorber is needed to solve the driving effect of crawler vehicles.

Qin State’s hydraulic system has made great progress. Not only the laboratory began to use large-scale hydraulic devices to study various substances, but even steel factories began to use electromagnetic devices and large-scale hydraulic systems to lift various steel materials. These hydraulic systems were first used for crawlers. Since the hydraulic device has such a large bearing capacity, the bearing capacity of the artillery can be compared with it when it is used for artillery

So Qin State’s first elastic gun mount came out. The principle is that the gun body can slide on the cradle through the guide wheel. The cradle is installed on the gun mount. The gun mount is connected with the piston rod in the recoil barrel. The oil makes a part of the hydraulic oil enter the air chamber through a narrow oil valve to compress the air. When the gun sits to the end, it returns to its original position under the reaction of the compressed air.

In this way, the problem of gun mounts is solved very well. Qin's first modern artillery finally came out.

The advent of this gun gave Qin a powerful new type of artillery. The artillery was produced by the Wenyang Artillery Factory and the military finalized it as a three-point 520 artillery. This is the artillery produced by the King of Qin in 20 years. The caliber of the artillery is about [-] mm now. The reason why the range of the artillery has not been calculated is that this artillery was quickly used in the war in the Western Regions, and even the gunners were not trained. For this reason, a large number of technicians compiled a large number of impractical manuals according to the characteristics of the artillery. Use lengthy language to tell the artillery what to pay attention to when firing the artillery and the dangers that the artillery may encounter

However, when this kind of book was released, the artillerymen hated this book very much. The reason is that the book is one inch thick and the first to No.20 pages are all artillery parts and components. From the first page, the artillerymen can't read it up

The news of the bombing by the airship of the State of Qin quickly reached the ears of King Yan. King Yan told his close ministers the news.

"Qin State's airship is nothing more than this. It looks like it's moving, but it can't even break through a line of defense. I'm so disappointed." King Yan said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, I, Da Yan, don't I still have a secret weapon?" Ju Xin said that this matter is a highly confidential matter in the country of Yan, and only King Yan and Ju Xin know about it.

"But alas..." King Yan also understood that releasing poisonous gas required certain conditions.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. I already know that Qin has weather. They can predict the weather. Isn't this smoke and that fog the same thing?" Ju Xin suggested.
