Chapter 546 - Stuffy Canned Troop Carrier
Because of the assistance of the [Wujimen] system at any cost, the human and material resources of the entire Tang Dynasty were quickly gathered in the coastal zone and built defenses at an astonishing speed.
But it is definitely not enough to just defend the Tang Dynasty, once the extraterritorial heavenly demons occupy Fusang and Ryukyu, then there will be a springboard for invading the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be possible to drive them out in a short period of time.
Therefore, as soon as they stabilized their own positions, the Tang Dynasty began to prepare for a counterattack on Fusang and Ryukyu, striving to make these extraterritorial heavenly demons have no place to stand in the East China Sea!
As early as when Datang began to build the water and land rail transit network, a large number of shipyards were built like mushrooms after a rain.
With the gradual proficiency of the shipbuilding skills of the [Tiangongmen] disciples of the shipyard, the various boats built also floated along the river to the entire territory of Datang like dumplings, taking on the burden of waterway material transportation in the whole Datang.
From small boats to large boats, from river boats to sea boats, and from wooden boats to iron boats.
With the massive resources in Datang, it has been explored and developed.
Datang Industry has also carried out a three-level leap development, directly crossing several major stages and entering the era of industrialization.
This is all the changes brought to Datang by Bai Yuqi's [Tiangongmen], with the "super information search function" provided by the "former system" of Tai Sui Vortex, what drawings can't be searched?
Although limited by the times, it is difficult for later generations of scientific and technological ships to be reproduced in Datang with just one drawing.
But the problem is that the disciples of [Tiangongmen] also have mastered all kinds of unscientific production and manufacturing skills that Bai Yuqi has imparted!
The problems that cannot be solved by technology at this stage have been changed by these [Tiangongmen] disciples, and they have really made a finished product similar to the design on the drawings.
Power problem can't be solved?
On the steam engine, on the sails, on the spells...... It's always going to give you a toss to run!
Moreover, he inherited Bai Yuqi, the master of the sect, and the infrastructure madness gene of "big is beautiful, and more is good".
The Tiangong Shipyard under the name of [Tiangongmen] has squandered all the remaining steel accumulated by the whole Datang in the past two years.
Twelve motherships with a displacement of 100,000 tons were produced in one batch, and they were named after the twelve stars of the zodiac.
Originally, it was planned to be equipped with auxiliary ships, auxiliary ships, and small and medium-sized ships at all levels, and then take them out to show off after forming twelve fleets, but suddenly encountered an invasion of extraterritorial heavenly demons, so they had to be sent out to rescue first.
So when the Tang monarchs and ministers were still anxious, they requisitioned the water transport ships of the whole Tang Dynasty.
Twelve huge island-like ships slowly appeared from the sea, almost frightening the soldiers and civilians along the coast, thinking that it was the great killer of the extraterritorial heavenly demons!
But when he saw clearly that the huge sails hanging on the giant ship were actually printed with the emblem of the twelve stars of the zodiac under the command of Emperor Wuji, he burst into earth-shattering cheers.
In this regard, Bai Yuqi just glanced at it, and decided to look at the face of the extraterritorial heavenly demon, and lend it to Li Shimin first...... Anyway, it's just a disciple's practice.
The Construct Intelligent Machinery Shipyard in Yingzhou has already created a more terrifying Big Mac, but it has been pressing the technology to change and not come up with it.
As a result, I didn't expect the plan to keep up with the changes, and the Yingzhou fleet that was created was eliminated before it could be officially put into service, except for serving as a resource carrier along the coast of Yingzhou for a period of time.
Because the Tai Sui vortex has already begun to study the technology of "dark energy crystallization power" and "dark matter carbon crystal rod power", the traditional power ship technology is too backward and directly eliminated, and the Yingzhou fleet, which has been built, can only be used as an out-of-print concept product and kept as a souvenir.
The Twelve Star Mothership is scary, but in fact it is only equivalent to the scale of a 100,000-ton container ship, which has no advantages except that it is large enough and can be installed, but it can be modified and used as a troop carrier.
Everyone squeezed it, it shouldn't be a problem to transport tens of thousands of people by boat, anyway, whether it is Fusang or Ryukyu, it is not far from Datang, just endure it.
They are going to war, and they are not traveling on a cruise ship, so they should be able to hold on to the hard and simple style of the Tang soldiers and mercenaries...... Right?
Bai Yuqi thought that it was cruel enough for him to let the soldiers sit on the ground, but he didn't expect that after the twelve-star mothership was modified and handed over to the Tang Army, Li Shimin frantically stuffed more than 100,000 people on the ship...... He asked the soldiers to line up into the cabin, and then stood in line one by one, with their chests against their backs!
it?
Although the narrowest point of the Ryukyu Strait is only 130 kilometers, it can take at least four or five hours to reach the speed of the twelve-star sub-carrier.
Especially if someone can't hold back their pants, how sour is it to be stuffy in the cabin?
Although it was said that the soldiers were fast, Bai Yuqi was afraid that something would happen, so he sent a group of disciples to use the [Wind Creation Technique] to blow oxygen into the cabins on all floors, for fear that these Tang soldiers would be suffocated on the way.
Fortunately, this kind of high-density troop carrier is a little crazy, but the capacity is really not enough.
The twelve star motherships transported 1.5 million troops at one time, including 100,000 soldiers, 200,000 mercenaries and 1.2 million slaves.
This is also thanks to the fact that the twelve-star mothership is big and stable enough, plus Bai Yuqi secretly calmed the wind and waves, and also applied an acceleration buff to the star mothership, which allowed the Tang army to cross the Ryukyu Strait in more than two hours, which can be regarded as making the Tang soldiers suffer less.
As soon as the Tang soldiers who were almost squeezed in the cabin landed, they poured into Ryukyu Island like a torrent of steel and launched a crazy killing.
Strive to wipe out all kinds of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons that were originally entrenched on the island before the next group of [Tiangongmen] disciples and various material supplies arrive.
Bai Yuqi was idle, so he changed into a twelve-star trumpet vest and accompanied Li Shimin, who was driving the expedition, to board Ryukyu Island by boat.
Originally, it stands to reason that Li Shimin, the emperor, should not be in danger, but he came up with all kinds of high-sounding reasons to persuade the courtiers and generals who stopped him from taking the risk, what to advance and retreat with the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and live and die with the people of the Tang Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just to see the Star Mothership, this majestic and magnificent new thing, you have to take a trip in person to enjoy it!
