Chapter 413: Visiting (2)

When Wang Guorui explained the content of automated production in front of the students of the industrial department of the University of Berlin, most of them were very disdainful, and then Wang Guorui, a politician from the "industrial desert", obviously did not take it seriously. Because in their eyes, China is a place without industry, and politicians in a place without industry naturally do not understand what industry is, so they all think that this is Wang Guorui's nonsense. How can the machine move automatically in their thinking, this is obviously not in line with their consistent thinking. They even criticized this as their own conjecture that this is the industrial desert of the East, and even thought that this automated production is actually the same as a perpetual motion machine, something that cannot be realized.

However, there are also some people who feel that the mouth is suddenly opened, and then think that this is the direction of the next research. Therefore, this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person, ordinary people are unable to transcend inertial thinking, while geniuses can break inertial thinking, can transcend traditional inertial thinking and develop something that makes people feel very frightening. And at the top level in Germany, even this content about automated production will be sent to the industrial research departments of various countries to conduct research on automation.

But what they don't know is that in order to be truly automated, they have to be able to get a computer. And without computers, the automation capabilities would be poor. To make a computer, you have to have enough transistors, and secondly, a lot of tubes, both of which are currently not available. Even if the conditions are met, there is still a long way to go before you can truly achieve automation! Without decades of technology accumulation, it is simply impossible to truly realize the so-called automated production. So Wang Guorui throws out some specious things from time to time, which is enough for them to study for decades. Anyway, don't look at it as just a sentence, but there are still a lot of industrial technology tree processes in it, so they can't climb this technology tree in a short time.

"Governor Wang. Next, we will visit the Military Academy in Berlin. The Berlin Military Academy is the most famous military academy in Germany, and its graduates will go on to be the backbone of our German army and one of the most important places for officer training. Clausewitz, the author of our German war theory, has long held the position of director of the Berlin Military Academy, and he is one of the greatest military educators in Germany. ”

"Okay, let's go check it out!" Wang Guorui replied.

Soon, the car was again inside the Military Academy in Berlin.

"Governor Wang. What class do you want to see? ”

Wang Guorui replied: "Let's go see the engineers!" ”

"Engineers? Governor Wang is indeed an expert! The German officer laughed.

Of course, Wang Guorui knew that Europe in this era had changed because of his arrival, and Europe had attached great importance to this trench warfare, and trench warfare was definitely inseparable from sappers. Now the status of the engineer has been greatly improved, not only in trench warfare they need to dig, but even in blasting and other work. In addition, they are also required to complete the design of various tunnels, so that the status of the engineering troops has also been greatly improved, unlike the relatively low status in the past. As for now, the basis of trench warfare is the engineering troops. Because in the case that the firepower has reached the limit and cannot be improved. The enemy was not able to attack. The only breakthrough is the engineering troops, and the only way is to hope to break through the tunnel tactics.

As for the research tanks in Western countries, they are all in the process of research and development, and it is not like Taiwan can be put into teaching. Therefore, there should be no training on armored troops in the military academy.

And soon, among the cadets of the engineering corps, two people were discussing something.

"Governor Wang, they're arguing about how to clear mines faster. Because in trench warfare now, the enemy not only has enough firepower in front. And there are two very powerful weapons, barbed wire and landmines. If the mines in front of the enemy's positions are not resolved, it will certainly be very dangerous for the attacking side. So the mine is an effective weapon to deter the enemy's attack. So they're talking about how to clear mines the fastest. Only after the mine has been cleared can the follow-up troops break through the position and rush in front of the enemy. ”

Wang Guorui heard that they actually wanted to discuss what kind of demining in Taiwan, which can be said to be some improvements in the tactics of the Germans in Taiwan. Wang Guorui only used barbed wire as a prop to stop the enemy, but the Germans were even more ruthless, and planted mines again directly in front of their positions, and after laying mines, the enemy would inevitably step on the mines after charging over. So it is necessary to open a gap for the follow-up troops. That would have to be demining.

However, the speed of demining is a critical issue. If there is not enough speed of demining, it will not be able to quickly open the way for the follow-up troops. Therefore, the responsibility of the engineering troops in charge of demining is very heavy, and they must remove the mines as quickly as possible, otherwise the subsequent attack of the troops will be delayed. Both engineering students also discussed here. How can I clear the mine as quickly as possible?

But they have thought about it a lot, and there has been no good way to clear the mines.

"If you want to clear mines, then the best way at the moment is manual demining, only manual demining can adapt to any terrain!" Immediately an engineer cadet said.

And immediately there was a rebuttal: "Then why can't we use shells to clear mines?" "As long as we use artillery shells to clear mines, then we can clear mines quickly."

"No, no, the enemy's minefields are generally built outside the range of our artillery, and they will not easily let the minefields within the range of our shells. Moreover, the density of shells does not guarantee that all mines will be cleared, and the landing of shells is so complex that even the most elite artillery cannot ensure where the shells will fall. The accuracy of artillery demining is insufficient, not to mention that if the shell explodes, it will be impossible to observe whether the mine is removed. Therefore, the efficiency of artillery demining is not much better than that of manual demining. ”

"So what do we do? You can't just leave it at that, can you? If there is no way to clear mines quickly, then how can we do them? ”

The two students were arguing, but the officer next to Wang Guorui saw Wang Guorui smiling, and immediately suddenly said treacherously: "What's the point of you arguing here, why don't you ask the inventor of trench warfare?" The inventors of trench warfare are also next to you, so why don't you ask? ”

"What? The inventor of trench warfare? Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, China? A student immediately asked.

And Wang Guorui knew that it was impossible not to show up at this time, so he took the initiative to say: "Hello two, I am Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, China, that is, the perfecter of this kind of trench warfare." In fact, trench warfare originally originated in the West, and I just used him to the peak and developed it to the peak! ”

"Oh? Mr. Wang, can you solve our problem? A student immediately asked.

And looking at these cadets in the German military academy looking at themselves so expectantly, Wang Guorui also knew that it would be impossible not to show his hands. If you don't show your hands, then how can you gain the respect of these cadets at this time?

"Actually, what you just said is true. One is to use the air wave pressure of the artillery to detonate the mine, but the accuracy of the artillery is too low to be controlled. And many times the enemy's minefields are also outside the range of artillery, so that artillery demining is simply impossible. The other is to hope to use manpower, but manpower is not only dangerous, but it is too difficult to face the enemy's machine guns and other weapons to fire, and it is too difficult to clear mines under such dense firepower. Therefore, you want to be able to clear mines quickly and accurately, so that the engineers will not be exposed to the enemy's fire for too long, and they can also allow the mines to be removed as quickly as possible. Wang Guorui said.

"Governor Wang, do you have any good ideas?" The trainee asked.

"Actually, you just need to combine the methods of the two of you!" Wang Guorui said.

"Combine?" They obviously don't quite understand what that means.

"Actually, you can let your front-line combat sappers carry some special weapons, and then take those weapons to the front line to carry out explosions, so that a large number of mines can be removed."

"But how do you know where the mines are? You can't just blow it up, right? Someone else asked.

Wang Guorui immediately explained again: "You can try a skinned rubber tube and pour some gunpowder into it, but don't load shrapnel. As long as you have this thing, you can then extend this thin rubber infused with gunpowder to the front, and then you can lay a rubber tube on top of the minefield. Finally, as long as the rubber tube is ignited, the gunpowder inside will burst into flames. Such powerful gunpowder gases can also generate tremendous force, and then put those within a meter of the safety zone. As long as these safe zones are in place, further demining can be done very quickly. ”

And those German students were also very surprised, they did not expect that they could quickly open up a channel with this method. This approach is not only efficient, but also uses firepower to clear mines, unlike those that are done manually. And it is manpower-controlled, which makes it possible to completely control the process of demining. And the rubber tube with gunpowder is also very easy to make, not difficult. So, this is also very easy.

"How can you throw it far away? You can't throw it too far with manpower, and you can't throw it very straight! Someone asked right away. (To be continued......)
