Regarding the application of new technologies in this film, we will reply to book friends in a unified manner
Recently, I have seen some readers discussing the new technology of this film at the end of the chapter, and here Huang He will give a unified reply and explanation to you.
First of all, here Huang He bowed to all those who supported this film.
Let's talk about the main line and features of this film. The main body of this film is a special soldier back to the Ming Dynasty, did a vigorous career, the protagonist in addition to crossing and slightly exaggerated force, insist on trying not to hang, airplanes, cannons, ships, nuclear weapons will never appear here, careful readers may have found that there are many characters in it are recorded in history, the reason why this is the case, the Yellow River is to maintain the social characteristics of the late Ming Dynasty, try to stay away from fantasy and fantasy, and do not deviate from the track of historical novels.
During the period, when there are readers' messages, the Yellow River generally gives a reply, even if it is given a smile, it will never cause the reader's message to be ignored.
Because whenever I see a reader's message, Huang He is very happy, and Huang He's writing can resonate with everyone, which is undoubtedly a supreme honor and satisfaction, and put it in the novel, this is the cool point of the protagonist.
Regarding the application of new technologies, relatively speaking, there are more messages, and some book friends have mentioned it more than once.
The protagonist is a modern person, or a special soldier, worn to the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years ago, if the modern war technology, war concept, especially guns, are applied to ancient times, killing all directions, invincible in the world, it must be very cool.
But Huang He thinks that it is cool to write it like this, but it is a bit outrageous, and he can't write a historical novel as a journey to the west.
In addition, Huang He always believes that endlessly exaggerating the protagonist's ability is equivalent to endlessly weakening the opponent, doesn't it look cool? Is it interesting to PK an elephant and an ant, or is it more interesting for a lion to fight a tiger? The Yellow River thinks it's the latter.
The protagonist was a soldier before he crossed over, and he definitely had modern knowledge, and he was able to invent and create, but due to the limitations of productivity, he could also make models of some advanced weapons that he had seen, but it was impossible to produce them on a large scale, and the smelting technology could not be reached.
As for the eight-bull crossbow mentioned by book friends, it was actually used on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, and the Greeks were even earlier, more than 2,000 years ago, they used powerful ballistas in war. The firing range is capable of reaching 400 meters, it is capable of firing stones, spears, rockets and much more. Able to pierce metal armor and shields and nail people to the city walls, its accuracy is also amazing, hitting one target in a row.
The protagonist of this book could have improved on this and made him more powerful. Moreover, this thing is inexpensive, you can use iron tools, there are wooden and animal rubber bands, the weight is relatively light, easy to carry and move, suitable for mobile combat.
However, considering that this is a society at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although it is still in the era of cold weapons, gunpowder has been used in warfare on a large scale, not to mention all kinds of firearms. Even the Tartars outside the gate can mass-produce redcoat cannons, in this case, how meaningful is it for the protagonist to bother with brains, what bow and crossbow to improve, is this a kind of regression?
Of course, it is undeniable that the improved bow and crossbow may be useful for individual combat, or for small detachment raids, and it may be very rewarding to win by surprise.
But in large-scale legion battles, tens of thousands of horses or even hundreds of thousands of horses are often invested, and the red-coated cannon sometimes becomes a short board, and no matter how powerful the bow and crossbow are, it has to tremble in front of the red-coated cannon.
The film does not exclude the application of new technologies, and in the later stages, if necessary, the protagonist can be modified on the red cannon or firecracker. For example, it is possible to achieve continuous firing, reduce the rate of explosion, increase the range and accuracy, and increase the types of ammunition for the redcoat cannon to increase its range of function and increase its power.
If you organize a few firearms experts, like Song Yingxing, Song Yingsheng, Tang Ruowang and others, the protagonist gives them guidance, gives them spirituality and creativity, and works together with their wisdom and labor to improve these firearms.
That's not a spoiler!
There are too few readers of this film, and whether the Yellow River will expand these plots by then, it will be said.
If the reader's support becomes more and more powerful, this film will definitely go further, and 2 million or even 3 million words are possible, which is not the Yellow River bragging. On other websites, the Yellow River has a complete record of more than 2 million words, and it is also a historical novel. But if it's the opposite, it's still so cold, maybe 1 million words will be finished, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to readers, constantly changing, and not rotten.
Luo Luo said so much more, and finally thank you again for your support, and I wish you a good mood every day.
