Chapter 237: New Intelligence
The great changes in the countryside are inseparable from the village chiefs and township chiefs who were exchanged from the system. It is precisely because of the selflessness of those people that they led the people out of a path to prosperity.
After all, the township and village chiefs exchanged by the system, those people will not seek personal gain, and they will not mess around. The most important thing is to break the family rule in the village, so that the local tyrants and gentry cannot exploit the people.
Two months later, Ye Tong and Zhang Liang returned to Dingjun Mountain.
The local elite Zhang Liang was the first person to enter Dingjun Mountain, which was recognized by Ye Tong. Zhang Liang was really happy in his heart, it was not that Ye Tong didn't want Zhang Liang and others to enter Dingjun Mountain, it was that no one believed some things when they said them.
After visiting and inspecting Dingjun Mountain, Zhang Liangxin has changed a lot. I know the importance of technological innovation and understand why Ye Tong has always listed Dingjun Mountain as a forbidden area.
I have an understanding of scientific and technological research and development, and I know that scientific and technological research and development is actually burning money, and new technologies cannot be made without money. Those hundreds of research institutes and laboratories made Zhang Liang feel emotional.
Ye Tong, Zhang Liang, Huang Yueying, Shangguan Wan'er, and Tesla were chatting, and the topic was nothing more than science and technology.
"Tesla, you invented more than 700 technologies in your last life, what is the current situation?"
"General, some have been developed, there are about a hundred more, and the rest will take time."
"Tesla, transistors, electromagnetics, etc., are the focus of your future research, and this aspect is your specialty. You see, once the computer is researched, it plays an important role in the rise of empires. ”
Tesla has long wanted to study computers, but Ye Tong doesn't let it mess around. If it comes out of the way, it's really troublesome. You know, it's all large-scale integrated circuits, and it's a one-time molding.
"General, don't worry!"
"Yueying, what project are you working on now?"
Hee-hee!
"Miss Ben researches new materials, new processes, new warships. Prepare to screen some warships and finalize several fixed warships. ”
Oh!
Computers, which have more benefits for designing warships. After the original battleship was calculated, problems were discovered and immediately improved to improve the combat capability of the battleship.
"Yueying, the empire is about to go east, and a large number of transport ships are needed. Can we design a general-purpose ship and adopt an assembly line operation, so that the production cost will be reduced. ”
"No problem, how big a ship are you going to build?"
"15,000 tons to 20,000 tons! If it's too small, it's not interesting, and if it's too big, it's not cost-effective, and the manufacturing cost increases. ”
15,000 tons to 20,000 tons is the most suitable ship, once the formation of large-scale production, dozens of enterprises together on the horse, will be very fast.
"Alright! Could it be that the Empire is preparing to conquer our Eastern Continent eastward? ”
Hehe!
"It's not a conquest, it's to take over the Eastern Continent. It was a no-man's land, and while there was no dispute about taking it over now, it would be troublesome to take it over once someone had settled. ”
"How much longer?"
"About two years, enough time for you to produce ships."
Alas!
"Life is hard! Something you can't do every day. ”
For Huang Yueying's sigh, Ye Tong directly ignored it. The girl in front of you is not easy to mess with, once you talk, God knows what will happen.
At this moment, the internal guard crashed in and reported: "General, the information sent by General Zhou Yu?" ”
After receiving the information, Ye Tong quickly read it, and then handed it to Zhang Liang.
The information was very simple, several cruisers under Zhou Yu escorted the oil tanker, and when they arrived in front of the vest, they ran into warships from other countries.
When encountering an unknown enemy, neither side was verbose, and the fight began when they met.
The naval forces of the Qin Empire had only one cruiser with a displacement of 5200 tons and two frigates with a displacement of 3200 tons. The 5200 battleship has three twin 75-mm turrets and two double-mounted 75-mm guns on the 3200-ton displacement, which is relatively low in combat effectiveness.
The other side had more than a dozen warships, each with dozens of guns, and some with hundreds of guns. At the beginning, the Qin Imperial Navy was worried, but when the war began, the Qin army realized that it was a solid bullet.
It was a battle without suspense, which only lasted more than two hours, and the Qin Imperial Navy sank nine warships and escaped one.
The battle was the result, but the two steam engine battleships that suddenly emerged attracted Zhou Yu's attention, so he asked people to send the information to Ye Tong.
Ye Tong gently tapped the handrail with his fingers, and kept chanting, steam engine battleship! Steam engine battleship!
What does it mean?
It shows that what Ye Tong was worried about really exists, and the existence of a golden finger in the Western Empire is not a good news, and it is worth paying attention to.
"Are there any captives?"
Nei Wei said: "Yes, but no one can understand the language, and they are on the way." ”
What kind of country's warship will it be?
Rome? Rest? Or other newly rising empires, all this is not understood, and it must be clarified before a conclusion can be made.
"What do you think of the ovary?"
"My lord, this matter has to be analyzed and studied from two aspects. First, the opponent's warship has sails and also has a half-sail power drive, indicating that the opponent has not fully entered the era of steam engines, or rather, the technology has not passed.
The second is that the opponent's flame is a solid bullet, which shows that the gunpowder technology is backward, and the original gunpowder is still used, and there is not much improvement. ”
"Ofan, the other side has two armored warships!"
"Lord, aren't armored warships still equipped with sails? It fully shows that the power of the opponent's steam engine is not strong enough to propel the battleship. ”
Having said that, Ye Tong didn't dare to be careless in his heart, God knows where the golden finger is and in what country. If the other party's technology relies on input, then what is the situation of the country that really controls the golden finger of the steam engine?
The variation of time and space allowed the steam engine to come out 2,000 years earlier.
After thinking about it, Ye Tong said: "Order!" Tell Zhou Yu to take over the Southern Continent as soon as possible, station a Marine Corps on the Southern Continent, and it is best to send war horses over to facilitate patrols.
In addition, let Zhou Yu's fleet raise the security level, once it is discovered that there are foreign warships entering, there is no need to think about the consequences, and then fight first. Only when the war is won can diplomacy take the initiative. ”
What is diplomacy first, and then war, that is, the other side is not ready for war. Once the other side is ready, who will come to you diplomatically.
"Yes!"
"Command! Tell General Lin Xiao to speed up the takeover of the islands within 'our sea'. ”
"Yes!"
After the internal guard left, Ye Tong was still thinking.
The Northern Expedition will take about a year, and the Western Expedition will take two years, needless to say. There is also the Eastern Crusade, although it is to take over uninhabited land, but it cannot be careless. It seems that there are a large number of indigenous peoples on the Eastern Continent, and although they are not civilized, their combat effectiveness is still good.
Time!
Time is tight!
If Ye Tong is given a few more years, he will be able to keep the empire at its peak. At that time, no enemy will be afraid, as long as he dares to come, he will be victorious.
