Jingshi Xinhua Palace, ten meters underground.

In a small, enclosed room of no more than fifty or sixty square meters, there was a row of machines that should not have been in this era—two flat surfaces that opened at ninety degrees, the one below was full of buttons, and the one above displayed intricate arrangements of frames, icons, and text.

With a rapid "pop-bang-bang" sound, the screen of one of the machines displayed the following line of text:

…… As can be seen from Figure 1 (a), this super-heavy tank is a behemoth with a hull length of between 10-12m and a hull height of more than 4m. It runs on tracks, is equipped with a long 120mm naval gun, and there is a small machine gun turret on top of the hull, and the thickness of the armor reaches 100mm-150mm, which is quite qualified to call it a tank. In terms of the general arrangement [Fig. 1(b)], the 120mm gun was placed at the front, the power-transmission unit was at the rear of the hull, and the space in the car was large, and the expected crew was 8 people. The barrels of the guns were rotated 16° each (Fig. 1(c)). There is a load wheel on each side, and there are 5 carrier wheels on the top of the body. What's more, it's a quasi-overhead crawler structure with long tracks that go around the top but are located inside the body. When firing from the artillery, the bulky armored hull was lowered to the ground to absorb part of the gun's recoil (Fig. 1(d)). It is powered by a 250 hp gasoline engine and is expected to have a maximum speed of 24 km/h.

"Wait! Here, is 24? ”

A certain bearded uncle pointed to the screen with an incredulous expression.

His name is Zhang Yaoqian, then the chief of staff of the army and the minister of the army of the base camp, the leading army general, and the title of Marquis of Ningxi.

"A 170-ton body with a 250-horsepower engine is about the same at 2.4 kilometers per hour, either one less decimal point or one less bar, and it's understandable to climb 2 to 4 kilometers in an hour......"

The person who replied had a shaved chin, and there were still many beautiful relics of his youth between his eyebrows, and his figure also looked quite healthy, at first glance he was only in his early forties, but in fact he was over half a hundred years old - it was the actual commander of the current base camp, the chief of the general staff, the leading army general, the title of Marquis of Ning Dong, and the fifth elder.

"Where's the information, it's too nerve-"

Zhang Yaoqian slid his finger a few times on the trackpad, and quickly found the answer he wanted:

Tanks and Armored Vehicles, No. 1, 2002, p36.

"What is the 2002 material?" Zhang Yaoqian cut in disdain.

"Because it's from a free database." Liu Bailiang shrugged, "Besides, compared to the gorgeous World War II with mechanized aviation, the World War I was not attractive to the historians of that era. ”

"Anyway, Mao Zi really got this perverted thing out, what's next? Mars Tech's Berezinko chariot? Moon Tech's 'off-road vehicle'? Or is it an early step into the era of the Multi-Turret Cult? History has been raped to the point of madness by us. Zhang Yaoqian sighed quite evilly.

"History is either raped or raped, and it is our duty to turn rape into rape." Liu Bailiang answered thoughtlessly.

"Someone's coming."

I saw that the five-centimeter-thick iron door on the right hand side of the two slowly turned to one side, and a graceful woman in a black dress and uniform entered alone, and a few seconds later, the heavy iron door slammed shut behind her.

"Your Majesty, you're here." The two generals just nodded slightly to the comer.

"You two have worked hard." Although the person who came was known as the emperor of the empire, and respected as the leader of the small group of people in the future, when there were no outsiders on the scene, he had to give three points to several group elders.

Empress Liu Qianhua didn't want to for the time being, and she couldn't make any changes.

"Are you looking for information?"

Liu Bailiang nodded and smiled: "Yes, the Russian front has discovered the enemy's new weapons, Mao Zi must have mastered the technology of the Martians, it seems that we are going to ask the Zenith for help - is Your Majesty also here to check the information?" ”

"No, I've been working on a program recently, and I'll take the time to do a little bit every day, you're busy, I'll just use the machine over there."

"Do the program-" Zhang Yaoqian was about to ask, but was stopped by Liu Bailiang on the side with his eyes.

"Our information is checked, Your Majesty, the ministers will retire first-Your Majesty is no problem for the next person here, right?" Liu Bailiang made a sincere concern.

"It's okay, thank you."

Her Majesty's smile is still quite charming......

The iron door opened, and the long corridor reflected by the high-power incandescent lamps as if it were day was empty, and at the end of the corridor was another door full of heavy texture.

After the Beijing Rebellion in 1905, the future equipment that had been hidden under the Ministry of National Defense for many years was transferred to the secret room under the Xinhua Palace, so that Liu Yun could control and use it nearby after ascending the throne.

After Liu Yun's death, the control of the future equipment was inherited by Liu Qianhua, and the computer equipment that was often used, except for the five elders who could directly enter the secret room without notification, other group members had to report to the leader Liu Qianhua before using it.

After Qianhua ascended the throne, in view of the fact that the five elders often had to enter the computer room with other group members, and if the non-elder members who went with them also had to report according to the regulations, the privileges of the elders would be in vain.

Zhang Yaoqian, who was not one of the five elders, was able to enter this secret room with strict access restrictions, and he brought Liu Bailiang in "by the way" in accordance with the above regulations.

"What's the problem? Why are you pulling me out? Zhang Yao was still a little confused.

Liu Bailiang stopped in front of the second door: "I have a very strange feeling. ”

"What does it feel?"

"Have you looked closely at His Majesty's face?"

Zhang Yaoqian nodded dumbly: "Beauty is beauty, and I'm numb after watching too much - why do you ask this?" ”

"No, did you notice her makeup?"

"I don't study makeup." Zhang Yaoqian's face was pure and honest.

Liu Bailiang shook his head and smiled: "Maybe I'm too sensitive, I always feel that His Majesty is deliberately trying to show his aging appearance through makeup......"

"I don't understand," Zhang Yaoqian blinked suspiciously, "You mean, the female official who put makeup on His Majesty should be killed, and His Majesty's own aesthetic ability is seriously flawed?" ”

"I just want to say that if you remove that layer of deliberately distorted and aged fat powder, I am afraid that the appearance of Your Majesty is not much different from ten years ago."

"That's not a goblin...... Zhang Yaoqian subconsciously covered his mouth as he spit out these words.

Liu Bailiang showed a kind of curious expression like a Frankenstein: "What I'm interested in is, what reason does a woman have to do this?" ”

In the secret room, on the screen in front of Qianhua, Liu Bailiang's face was enlarged little by little, until the mouth that was shaven blue around and distorted into a half-moon shape by the expression of Hunting Qi occupied the entire 17-inch screen.

"What do you want to know what the road is? Let's dissect me. I can't dissect myself......"

Qianhua didn't open her mouth, and the metallic sound came from the speakers built into the military laptop.

His gaze stared blankly at the ceiling, and his whole body froze as if it were a stone statue...... No one sees, no one hears......

……

"The production of Feiting Cedian was discontinued two years ago, the new nine-ton Flying Wolf was given priority to the Marine Corps and the Southern Army, the four-ton Jiehu and the two-and-a-half-ton Hound were cavalry chariots with only machine guns, and the five-seven cannon Iron Leopard chariot had been finalized, and only Wang Hu in the trial production stage could still make up his mind......"

He Xin, the minister of science and technology, who wore thick glasses like the bottom of a milk bottle, held a stack of materials to the two generals who came to consult.

"This is the Anglo-French tank material provided by the Germans, there are photos, not very perverted."

"We are mentally prepared." Liu Bailiang and Zhang Yaoqian looked at each other and smiled.

Saying this, Zhang Yaoqian was still choked by the first photo on his face.

"It's ...... A turret 'water tank'? ”

The picture shows a crude piece with over-the-top tracks and a large flat-column turret, and two protruding gun-mounted machine gun emplacements on either side of the hull, reminiscent of a land version of a former dreadnought.

A few lines of small print are marked below the photo: the British MK3 "King" type "cruiser fighting vehicle", with a total weight of 25 tons, a measured maximum speed of 10 kilometers per hour, a measured hull armor thickness of 10-15 mm, the main turret is equipped with a 6-pound (57 mm) naval gun, a total of 3 machine guns in front of the hull and on the left and right, and a crew of 5-6 people, which was used for the first time in the Battle of the Marne in September 1914......

"Cruiser Chariot...... The British have a boat in their heads, and they ......have a bad taste" Liu Bailiang shook his head and turned to the next page, and the tea in his mouth almost didn't squirt.

"Finally appeared...... That multi-turret relic. Zhang Yaoqian seems to have been looking forward to this.

The long and thick hull, the high quasi-overhead tracks, and the inverted pot lid-shaped main turret are surrounded by four auxiliary turrets with a round front and back, exuding a heavy texture and obscene beauty.

Here's what the callout reads:

The British MK4 "Independence" type "battle tank", with a total weight of 50 tons, a measured maximum speed of 6-7 kilometers per hour, a measured hull armor thickness of 10-20 mm, in addition to the main turret equipped with a 12-pounder (3-inch) naval gun, four secondary turrets each equipped with a machine gun, a crew of 7-8, used in small quantities in the Battle of the Marne, usually with the MK3 cruiser combat ......

"Battletanks? It's so evil - this, and sure enough, there is an expulsion chariot! ”

Liu Bailiang exclaimed, pointing to a small chariot with a slender body and a turret that looked like a truncated ship chimney.

MK2 "Doghound" type "Destroyer Chariot", with a total weight of 10 tons, a measured maximum speed of 15 kilometers per hour, a measured hull armor thickness of 7-10 mm, the main turret is equipped with a 2-pounder (37 mm) naval gun, and a machine gun in front of the hull, which was widely used after the Battle of the Marne......

"It's a land fleet."

"Looking forward to the ...... of submarines and aircraft carriers"

"Look at this, let's think it's a patrol boat."

The next page of the "Greyhound" is the "Carden Lloyd" type "Service Tank", which looks like a tracked iron minecart with an open top, and a water-cooled machine gun with a thick round sleeve mounted on the front of the hull - literally the same mold as the Empire's two-and-a-half-ton hounds.
