To put it bluntly, it's still a tank, but a closed box is built on the basis of the tank.

The horses were covered inside.

A large jet train drawn by eight horses.

Theoretically, defense can leave the people in the chariot unscathed, but they are afraid of pitfalls, because the horses cannot effectively avoid falling into.

It can be said that although the concepts involved were ahead of their time at this time, they were not used that way.

The reason why it was made was so that craftsmen could try it.

Through the trial of Youzhou soldiers, more practical data is obtained, and further improvement.

Li De really wanted to cover his face, his original intention was to let Situ En and the workshop stay aggressive, how could they really make this kind of thing.

It's scary to think about, maybe in Li De's mind, except for wasting materials, it really doesn't seem to have any practical value.

Even if the defense is very good, but the speed of this fully enclosed chariot, the first problem with following the soldiers and horses to the battlefield is that it will delay the speed of the journey.

Then there is the behemoth of eight horses, the width of the road, the terrain are all to be considered.

Seeing Situ En's excited appearance, he didn't go back to rub the other party's positive attitude.

"Okay, just take me to see your results sometime."

Arriving at the exclusive research site of the woodworking workshop, a dozen craftsmen are debugging next to a wooden box that looks large.

Li De had already seen this four-like chariot, and at first glance he knew that this thing was not a big deal, but out of confidence in the skills of the craftsmen, he was still willing to see it.

After Situ En saw the chariot, the spirit of the whole person became different.

"Dadudu, the one in front of you is the newly developed chariot, with eight horses to ride, and the interior can accommodate two people, and the main attack weapon is Spitfire."

Li De was going crazy, using a wooden chariot and an attack with a fire-breathing device without even wrapping it in iron sheets, it was really an old birthday star hanging, obviously looking for death.

"Really?"

Li De still has a trace of illusion to this day.

"Don't worry, the Metropolitan Governor, it's already been tested." Situ En affirmed.

"Tell me to go down and start preparing."

"Yes."

The craftsmen left the chariot, and the man who controlled the chariot entered through the wooden door on one side, and he really understood the big wooden box.

The pulling speed of eight horses can be visually measured to be about fifteen miles, which is a little faster than walking, and it seems that this is the speed of looking at the bulky chariot.

Then the chariot drove to the open field and began to release flames, spewing fire on all sides, and the scene was spectacular.

"That's amazing."

I have to say that the carpenters are attentive, and the flame outlet of the jet has been processed, but there are no unburned oil stains on the wood, but there are still potential safety hazards.

"Grand Duke, this kind of chariot is feasible, but it is limited to speed, eight war horses can support the chariot for half an hour, and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Li De frowned, there was room for improvement, he had already regretted it a little, and he was thinking about how to make Situ En give up and continue the experiment, and his money was really all wasted if he continued like this.

At the beginning, it was not considered, but now it is really a report.

"That Situ En, actually......"

"Grand Duke, after careful study with my craftsmen, I have a bold idea."

Li De's heart was trembling, did he come this time to change to sixteen horses, he already had no hope for these scientific research.

All the things about honing his skills and concentrating on scientific research left him behind. It has been decided that this is the end of this chicken rib project.

It is no wonder that throughout history, there is no such strange setting in the development of weapons, and the development of science and technology must have prerequisites.

"What an idea."

When Li De was thinking about how to refuse, he answered casually, but in fact, he didn't know where his mind went.

Situ En immediately became interested when he heard it, and he felt the game.

"Grand Duke, according to our plan, can we use a steam engine to fit it on a chariot?"

"This project may ...... What did you say? ”

Li De's couldn't believe his ears, who put forward the very constructive suggestion just now.

Seeing that there was only Situ En beside him, he knew that he had heard correctly.

"Be specific."

The application of the steam engine mainly relies on a rotating flywheel to provide the operation of the workshop machine tool, but no one has offered to use it to make transportation tools.

I couldn't have imagined that the first person to come up with this idea was Situ En, who seemed to underestimate this person a little.

"The steam engine is really fine, but the wooden casing can ignite if the steam engine overheats." Li Dedao.

"We've all thought of that, so this wooden chariot is nothing more than a sample made of wood, which can be made of all-iron according to the real plan."

There was a black line on Li De's forehead, and the bad idea really shouldn't be too tricky.

"Is it really the one you came up with?" Li De asked calmly, and he already had the intention of teaching the person in front of him a lesson.

How much iron does it cost to make a steam locomotive, even if you take out all the wealth of Youzhou, there are not so many iron ore materials to give them Huohuo.

"Actually, there are craftsmen who are mainly involved in the project."

Li De thought about it for a long time and felt that it was better not to do it here, as the governor of the capital, he had to be self-contained, and the idea was a good idea, but he really couldn't do it.

"This time the tank project will be stopped for a while, and immediately Youzhou will make a series of deployments to the outside world, and it is impossible to use too much financial resources at this time."

"The last general understands that although we are all anxious, we also know that the overall situation is important."

"Yes, that's good." Li De said lightly.

If Situ En dared not to know each other, he would solve the problem in a direct way.

"The current tank is still very useful, I wonder what the situation of the tank is?"

Li De immediately changed the topic, and he really wanted to know how much combat strength the previous chariot had formed.

Since this part of the army is very hidden, he does not know the situation on the real battlefield, and the value of the tank has been reflected, he knows.

"Now there are a total of 500 combat vehicles, divided into melee collision vehicles, crossbow cars near and far, spray trains, and the combat effectiveness of 10,000 soldiers and horses can be worth three times the number of enemies."

Situ En did not exaggerate when he said this, he was seeking truth from facts.

The best at using the chariot is the Yanyun cavalry, who is very familiar with the use of the chariot after many battles, and also provides a lot of suggestions and opinions for improvement, which provides a lot of help for improving the chariot.

"Well, these numbers are not enough, and the convoy has to play an important role on the foreign battlefield when the number of enemies is superior." Li De emphasized.

Situ En saw that Li De was optimistic about the chariot, and he was very clear whether he could adapt to the battle, how could Situ En not see how chicken the fully enclosed chariot was.
