Chapter 156: Black technology is king
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This cruel and unforgiving reality never believes in tears, you have to keep fighting if you want to live, and giving up your efforts means chronic suicide. In this regard, Luo Zhengdao has been aware enough from the beginning of the crossing, and his life is endless, and he will not stop fighting!
So far, in the new world of magic and swords, every day he has spent has endured under the weight of the suffering of fighting enemies from all walks of life and fighting against the curse of the Aragami, and Luo Zhengdao knows very well what will happen if he gives up the battle.
First of all, you have to remember one thing, the large amount of military aid sent by the Yaling Empire is not for nothing, and Queen Yaling is not a bad person who encourages Luo Zhengdao to hide on Wake Reef and wait for the Second Goblin Empire to self-destruct, and the value of aiding Luo Zhengdao is reflected in his continuous blockage of the Goblin Second Empire.
For the Yaling Empire, as long as the influence and infiltration activities of the human exiled nobles were not eliminated for a day, it was impossible for the human slaves on the main 6 to be willingly enslaved by the goblins, which also meant that although they occupied the rich main 6. Due to the uncooperative slaves and human resisters who are ready to move, the goblins will not be able to fully mobilize and use the abundant resources of the Lord 6 to engage in an all-out confrontation with the Yaling and the elves, and they will have to spend most of their energy on maintaining internal stability, and this containment alone is worth more than 100,000 troops
In the office full of bright sunlight, a bouquet of nameless wildflowers with a faint fragrance was inserted in a celadon vase, Luo Zhengdao said to the half-elf beauty while fiddling with a thick stack of sketches piled on the table:
"I'm going to build a new fleet, a new model different from the existing ones, an innovative form that can defeat several times the enemy in small numbers. Vena, do you have anything to build yì? ”
Fighting with a goblin fleet with huge resources and almost infinite power is undoubtedly a dead end, and Luo Zhengdao can figure out the correct answer without using his head, but with his knees, so he is ready to take the unusual path and must find another way to lead to revolutionary technological innovation and obtain a powerful combat power that his opponent cannot match. Just as in the battleship era of the Old World, the day the dreadnought was launched, it was announced that all the warships equipped by the previous navies were obsolete, and similar examples are the story of the birth of the ironclad for the wooden-hulled warship, and the story of the majestic battleship that was finally jokingly called the flat-topped fishery ship, the aircraft carrier, was squeezed out of the stage of the core force of naval warfare.
It was not the first time that Vina Dubov had heard Luo Zhengdao talk about similar bizarre ideas, and she couldn't help but cover her red lips with her hands and whispered:
"Really? Sounds like you're talking about the Dragon Knight. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao raised his head with a smile and glanced at Vena, and said:
"You mean the kind of knight who rides a dragon? Hehehehe, air superiority, yes, that's what I want. ”
One inch is long and one inch is strong, one point is short and one point is dangerous. Even if Luo Zhengdao has never practiced martial arts, he still remembers this old saying that in a bloody battle, whoever has a longer weapon attack distance will have the initiative at the tactical level, and even annihilate the opponent without loss. The initiator was neither the unpredictable underwater killer submarine, nor the battle cruiser, which suddenly exploded against the sky, but the aircraft carrier, which had no deterrent appearance, completely ended the old era of battleships dominating the earth's oceans by relying on the strong ammunition delivery capability of carrier-based mobile visual range air strikes.
With the continuous improvement of the performance of old world fighters and missiles, so much so that later military fans generally recognized a principle: without seizing air supremacy on the battlefield, there is no talk of mastering sea supremacy at all, and a fleet lacking air power cover is only a live target for the enemy's air firepower.
The situation in the new world is slightly different from the old world, and the unpredictable winds of Mana make flying over the Seven Seas a very dangerous and challenging game of bravery, in a word, flying is a game of life! Except for a big monster as talented as a dragon and a strength comparable to that of a steel creation, any kind of man-made thing that encounters a powerful mana wind in the air can only end up in ashes.
As early as the Goblin First Empire, the Goblin Airship was successfully developed, mainly relying on the energy shield generated by alchemy to protect itself, and even with such painstaking efforts to improve the design, the Goblin Airship flying over the AetherSea is still a high-risk activity with a high accident rate.
If it weren't for the fact that the flying environment was so treacherous, the natives of the New World, with griffins and a variety of flying monsters, would have exhibited a large-scale air force force long ago, and the reason why no one did this was of course because the external environment did not allow it, not that no one could think of the benefits of the air force. Only in those areas close to the main 6, the Mana particles have been weakened to a relatively safe low level, and the artificial aircraft have a chance to be put into practice on the battlefield, otherwise, if the aircraft is rashly used in the open sea, it is likely that all of them will crash in the Mana Wind before the enemy can make a move.
"Well, I've decided to build a test ship, a ship with a new concept, different from the type of warship you're used to......"
After a private briefing with Vina Dobov, Luo Zhengdao called his men to a meeting, and he spoke eloquently about his point of view, looking very excited. The Baro Flame Demon who ravaged the pirate fleet at the mouth of the Atayal River gave Luo Zhengdao a lot of inspiration, and the demon's strong combat power was certainly an important factor, but to say that it could push dozens of warships on its own without pressure would be too nonsense. What was the decisive factor that led to the reversal of the battlefield that day? Yes, it's the Barlow Flame Demon who can fly, and the pirate battleship is powerful but can't fly, and that's the biggest sticking point.
The various weapons systems existing in the new world rarely consider the ability of air strikes, and even those air targets with weak defense capabilities can easily escape ground fire attacks by virtue of their superiority in altitude and degree, and have an asymmetrical advantage over the troops operating on the ground and the sea.
There is a saying in the old world of Go: "The good point of the other is also the good point of mine." Relying on his mobility advantage of being able to fly, Balo Yan Demon hit the pirate fleet heavily, almost causing Luo Zhengdao to suffer a death crisis, and after suffering such a big loss, he didn't make any progress, could it be that he ate all these painful lessons?
Staring blankly at the ceiling, Brando Scarlet knew at a glance that he must have wandered, while the one-eyed dragon Fore Chopin had a wry smile on his face, he didn't understand what Luo Zhengdao was smoking, and the other participants were not so polite, talking at the bottom and saying:
"Hey, I didn't understand a word of what Lord Earl meant!"
"Shut up, idiot. Listen well, and listen if you don't understand. ”
"Okay, be quiet, don't you think it's noisy?"
Looking at these subordinates who were a headache, Luo Zhengdao only felt speechless for a while, but fortunately, his plan was very simple, and he didn't need these guys to fully understand it in order to carry it out. You really call Luo Zhengdao a weapon system with subversive creativity, he really doesn't have the ability, put together the existing technology, and finally create a new weapon beyond the imagination of others, for Luo Zhengdao, a weak chicken in the liberal arts, it is probably the limit of his ability, and if he is the science and engineering demon traverser Ma Linxi instead of Luo Zhengdao, it is estimated that he can drive a star destroyer to counterattack the main 6.
The alchemy recipe used in the Goblin Rocket is no secret in the New World, and almost all alchemy basic textbooks mention this classic propellant formula, and the reason why this technology is not valued is because the performance of the Goblin Rocket is too poor.
Due to the unstable combustion performance of the cheap alchemy mixture developed by the goblins, deflagration and flameout often occur, the guidance zhì goblin rocket is almost impossible to accurately guide, and even conventional inertial guidance is difficult. Someone once ridiculed that when a goblin rocket shoots at a target at a distance of more than 200 yards, there is not much difference between shooting directly at an enemy ship and shooting at the moon in the sky, and the probability of hitting the target is basically the same. With such poor shooting accuracy, unless you rely on the density of a wide area of firepower to win, it is not surprising where those goblin rockets that follow the trajectory of Brown's motion fall after launching, and it is this kind of alchemy mixture with primitive performance and lack of reliability that gives Luo Zhengdao a chance to open his mind.
As we all know, the Space Shuttle of the Old World took off on rocket fuel, and theoretically, as long as the motive provided enough thrust that even a refrigerator could be launched into the air, then it was logical for the traverser to build an enlarged version of the Goblin Rocket-Driven Vehicle.
After announcing the crazy research plan he had formulated to his subordinates at the meeting, Luo Zhengdao immediately devoted himself to this long journey with no end in sight with a hundred times more enthusiasm and energy. The first step he had to do was to send the first plane of the New World into the sky, hoping that in the end it would not turn directly into martyrs like the great pioneers of the Old World
"Bang-"
A low explosion came from the direction of the open sea, and the pirates, who had been listless under the scorching sun, winked at each other, and said gloatingly:
"Look! It's exploded again! I said that the Earl must have broken his head when he got up at night, otherwise how could he have come up with such a crazy idea? ”
"Shhhhh
You don't need to know much about it, just go through the brief conversation between the pirates watching the flight test site in the previous paragraph, and you can know that the aircraft research program is definitely not a complete success. That's right, during this period, Luo Zhengdao unsurprisingly trained the first batch of paratroopers in the new world, if he can be regarded as a paratrooper if he learns to parachute from an airplane, then he can indeed be called a meritorious contribution to the promotion of aviation.
