In the field of technological innovation, generally speaking, it is more advantageous for the latecomer to catch up, and the party that holds the first-mover advantage is stronger, but it is also difficult to adapt to the trend of the new era. For example, Kodak, which invented the digital camera, was finally forced to death by its own invention, the main reason is that in addition to the company's ship, it has to painfully abandon the film production experience that has proved to be very successful for many years, and accept a new set of digital age concepts and corresponding operating methods in a daze.

Luo Zhengdao, the traverser, is not developing technology step by step, he is running all the way forward along his own road map, and when he encounters an insurmountable bottleneck halfway, he directly bypasses it, this technology tree climbs too fast, and the rapidly changing technology is even more dazzling.

Such a drastic change was apparently extremely unfriendly to those who tried to emulate it, and in less than a decade in total, it was raised from the traditional wooden sail battleship to the riveted ironclad, then to the welded steelclad ship, to the full-heavy gun steelclad battleship crouched in the dock and about to be launched. These research projects have to be classified as the results of the technological leap forward, and the technical improvements in the corners are not included at all.

Minor innovations, such as replacing cast iron guns with steel cannons, were also significant changes in naval technology, as cast steel guns of the same weight could withstand greater chamber pressure, longer range, and better durability than bronze and cast iron. However, these advances cannot be compared with the efficiency of Luo Zhengdao's stuffy black technology, which is one running underground and the other flying in the sky!

It's normal for the pace of progress to be dizzying, and it's incredibly difficult for goblins to catch up with the paces of the frontrunners. Let's ask what will happen if you are forcibly dragged to a high level without even understanding the previous technology? Like an out-of-control car stumbling down a steep winding road, will this have any good results? Of course, it is a mistake that will turn into a thousand years of hatred, and it is the most likely to kill the whole family!

The intelligent races of the New World have gone from the perception that Will Needham often makes some new gadgets, from the initial stage of shock and curiosity to the negative state of reaction numbness and exhaustion, and it is really impossible to play happily together.

Whenever everyone else thinks that the speed of development of things is incredible enough, someone will make everyone's jaws drop by breaking the record again without restraint, especially in the field of military industry, this decade belonging to Luo Zhengdao has changed more drastically and subversively than in the past 10,000 years. Those imitators who had worked so hard to follow the direction of the trend that they were almost sticking out their tongues, and they were easily left behind by someone, and they could only watch in despair as the back of the peerless rider kept moving away, and almost blinded them from crying.

In the middle of the visit, he stopped to drink tea and rest, and at this moment, Luo Zhengdao talked with several subordinates and said eloquently:

"A year and a half, or a little longer, in two years, the Titan will enter service, and we will have enough strength to defeat the Goblin Navy. It is difficult to seize the sea control of the sea of stars, and it is still very promising to prevent other forces from controlling the sea power. ”

The consul Kofi Ingres could not help but pour cold water on the king and said:

"Your Majesty, you have to take into account the speed of the goblins' expansion and preparations, their total number of warships has exceeded three thousand!"

Zola Hegel had a similar view on this matter, saying:

"Yes! The Goblins built many warships, including many ironclads, but it was a pity that the skilled sailors and naval commanders could not follow suit. The last time I went to the main continent to reconnoitre, I saw three goblin battleships colliding together when they were anchoring and berthing, the weather was fine and there were no wind and waves, and the port was not attacked, it was purely caused by operational errors, this kind of waste navy is really a joke, but there are too many goblin warships, even if they are all waste, it is difficult to destroy them all. ”

He has always despised the lame and sluggish progress of the goblin navy, but did not underestimate their development potential, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and said:

"Zora has a point, too much waste can crush people. Don't look down on the Goblin Navy, it must be very naïve and ridiculous to learn at the beginning, and novices will inevitably make a fool of themselves. If we give the Goblin Navy a chance to correct our mistakes, one day this waste will consume us to death, do you expect to see this? ”

"No, of course not, His Majesty."

It is true that the outcome of a war is determined by comprehensive national strength, but the influence of human factors cannot be ruled out; this does not mean that if you have more money, more food, and better weapons, you will definitely be able to win; at best, you can only say that you can win without accidents, but war is an area where accidents often occur.

Even if the traverser has an absolute advantage, he really wants to catch up with his own back, like Wang Mang's classmate, who bumped into Liu Xiu, the Emperor of the Han Guangwu Dynasty, and people smashed meteorites at every turn, and then engaged in some supernatural phenomena. Even if you have capable generals under your hands, an elite army, and well-equipped and well-supple supplies, you can't say that you can't kneel, which is too strong to kill!

The Northern Song Dynasty in the old world, so rich that the whole world drooled and envied, even the soldiers who watched the city gate could afford to wear silk shoes, and the emperor of the Liao State made a wish in the Buddhist temple to be reincarnated in the Southern Dynasty in the next life. What is the key reason for the military defeat of the director? Of course, there are many, many drawbacks, but the root of the study is actually one, after five dynasties and ten kingdoms of turmoil, the Son of Heaven is strong and strong, the Zhao family's awareness of internal prevention is far more active than resisting foreign enemies, and the civil officials would rather sacrifice the combat effectiveness of the army to suppress the rise of the warriors.

From a generation of famous ministers Han Qi casually found a reason to execute the general of the Western Army, Jiao Yongliwei, as if killing chickens and dogs, and when he faced Di Qing and said the sentence that made countless military generals cold, "The roll call outside the Donghua Gate is a good man", the ending of the Great Song Dynasty has been irreversible.

The soldiers who defended the country on the bloody battlefield became sluts, thieves and thieves in the eyes of the scholars, and the Great Song Dynasty, where good men were not soldiers, died by themselves, and they were doomed to be destroyed in the hands of foreign races in the early morning. Let me ask, how much fighting spirit and determination can the pillars of the imperial court have all kinds of contempt and discrimination against those soldiers and generals who are sworn to defend the country to the death? Do you think they are all shaking M the more masochistic they are? I can't say, according to this logical reasoning, in the end, I can only wait for the alien race to step on the corpse of the Great Song Dynasty and spit at the mouth.

Even if the opponent's money is not as much as yours, and the materials are not as much as yours, but the soldiers are braver than you, and the generals are more experienced than you, the probability of victory and defeat is already half-opened.

The Second Goblin Empire, which has eaten the wealth accumulated by the human dynasties and is probably shining with golden light on its toes at the moment, compared with the grass platform team that Luo Zhengdao has painstakingly managed, it is meaningless to simply measure the hardware conditions, and there is no comparison in terms of quantity or quality. I have to mention the old saying here, after fighting a hundred wars, the goblins will not be cornered if they lose ninety-nine games in a row, Luo Zhengdao may have to be ready to roll up the burden and die in the world as long as he loses once, and he has been under the huge survival pressure exerted by the enemy for a long time, and he is not cautious in doing things, isn't that his own intention to find a draw?

After the group drank afternoon tea, the patrol work in the dockyard continued, and Brando Scarlet Yan was more concerned about the future direction of technological change represented by the Titan than others, and he leaned closer to Luo Zhengdao's side and said:

"Your Majesty, the turret arranged on the whole central axis, are you going to continue to push the broadside shelling tactics forward?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who laughed out loud, did not elaborate on the intrinsic relationship between the new tactics and this arrangement, but only said in a slightly perfunctory manner:

"Hehehehe, everyone is used to this way, but there is nothing new in fact. That's for the future, and we'll talk about that later! ”

As a new generation of capital ships, the Titan is more than two hundred and fifty yards long, and the only possible assumed answer is that they are completely blind.

Will the Yaling Empire hire a bunch of disabled people to serve as military advisors? Since their eyesight was fine, it was naïve to think that the massive Titan had left the curtain of the land slipway to hide from the eyes and ears of others. Knowing what the situation was, Luo Zhengdao was also happy to be generous, and at the celebration on the day of the launch of the Titan, he warmly greeted the military advisers of Yaling to come and watch the ceremony. In order to build this never-before-seen giant ship, twenty-six large cabinets were used in the design drawings alone, and how many secrets can outsiders see with their eyes? The most technical details are hidden below deck! That being said, the large optical rangefinder located above the bridge didn't escape the eyes of the Yaling military advisors, and it was too eye-catching.

"Excuse me, what is this device for?"

Despite the smiling and groaning consulted Luo Zhengdao, the semi-encircled formation formed by these Yaling advisors was enough to prove their determination not to give up until they received an answer. Regarding this point, Luo Zhengdao was not ambiguous, and replied flatly:

"Oh, provide the number of observations for the main gun."

The commanders of the New World usually had a variety of measuring instruments in their hands to aid their judgment, including measuring angles, wind speeds, and calculating relative speeds, and when the situation was urgent, they were too busy to have a few more hands to operate. The problem now is a giant optical rangefinder that is ten yards wide and more than three stories high, and its size is far beyond the imagination of these naval insiders. For example, people eat with bowls every day, but when you see the oversized sea bowl that is more exaggerated than the swimming pool, and can put a large living person in it for a swim, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will be scared silly.

The military advisers who knew what they knew exchanged glances, and the Yaling military adviser who was the leader pretended to be curious and asked:

"Oh, that's amazing! Your Majesty, can I actually do that? ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao played Tai Chi with a smile, and said with a shirk:

"I'm very sorry, this instrument has not been installed and debugged, and it is now an empty shelf."

"Ahh This news is too regrettable, and I hope that when the outfitting is over, His Majesty can allow us to visit the ship. ”

It doesn't matter if he writes a blank check, Luo Zhengdao said with a smile:

"Hehehehe, I'm very generous to my friends, of course I can."
