[Ding, it has been detected that the Juggernaut has consolidated its own territory, and the territory area has reached the standard, and the scientific and technological research and development reward task has been started!]

The first anti-Han alliance initiated by the world's natives has been formed, and according to the course of the war and the conquered lands in the Americas, professional yellow powder research experts will be rewarded in stages!

The first stage of the task is to take the lead in declaring war on the anti-Han alliance led by the British Empire, and send heavy troops to attack British Guiana, and after occupying LinkedIn Guiana, reward a yellow powder research expert and start the research and development of yellow gunpowder!

After completing the first stage of the mission, the Juggernaut is free to occupy as much additional land as possible and kill and damage the enemy's living forces!

When the conditions are met, the system will continue to reward yellow powder research and development experts, increasing the research and development speed!

Note that a yellow powder research expert started from scratch and it would take at least ten years to develop a true yellow powder! 】

After Zhao Dutian received this prompt in his mind, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face!

The Age of Empires system is finally willing to open up the technology of yellow powder!

Yellow gunpowder is actually yellow explosive, that is, trinitrotoluene (TNT) is white or amaranth pale yellow needle-like crystals, odorless, hygroscopic. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info This product is a relatively safe explosive, which can withstand impact and friction, but any amount of sudden heat can cause an explosion. Moderate toxicity. It can invade the skin, respiratory tract, and digestive tract. The main hazard is chronic poisoning. Local skin irritation produces dermatitis and jaxanthochromia. The ability to form methemoglobin is much smaller than that of aniline. The chronic effects are mainly manifested as toxic gastritis, toxic hepatitis, aplasia, anemia, and toxic cataracts.

Of course, these are trivial details, and the reason why TNT has been used in Zhao Dutian's previous life until the 21st century is because of its powerful explosive performance!

The explosive performance of yellow explosives of the same quality throws out black powder for several streets!

The invention of yellow gunpowder is a milestone technology in the cruelty of human warfare, and the shells and bullets filled with yellow gunpowder have increased the efficiency of killing people dozens of times!

It effectively increases the range of the musket and makes the grenade a real nightmare for infantry!

The powerful lethality of artillery during World War I was inseparable from the yellow explosives it was loaded with, and later generations made a variety of portable high-power miniature explosives based on the composition of TNT!

It can be said that before the atomic bomb exploded, yellow explosives were the most powerful weapon raw material in the world!

Zhao Dutian, who is from the 21st century, naturally knows the power of this yellow gunpowder, even if it is a blasting canister made of a large package of black powder, it is not as powerful as a palm-sized, grenade filled with yellow gunpowder!

The invention of yellow gunpowder also increased the power of hand grenades geometrically, from an auxiliary weapon in the era of queuing to shoot, and became an essential weapon for infantry during World War I!

Of course, the strongest weapon for yellow powder is artillery!

The explosive shells filled with black powder have already shown amazing lethality, and if they are replaced with yellow gunpowder of the same quality, I am afraid that there are not many elites in this world who can continue to carry artillery bombardment and step on military music drums!

The obsolescence of the tactics of lining up to shoot is not only due to the appearance of machine guns, but also the increase in the power of artillery shells!

The artillery of the First World War period, a shell can send an entire company to the sky during the queue to shoot, and the infantry naturally does not dare to advance slowly against the artillery fire......

Zhao Dutian had already begun to organize scientific researchers to research and develop yellow gunpowder, but unfortunately, the rise of the Han Empire was completely based on the imperial age system, and the system produced by the Han people was reliable, but it was a bit difficult for them to engage in scientific research beyond the times......

Therefore, the research and development of yellow powder in the Han Empire has always been stagnant and lingering in the initial stage!

Even Zhao Dutian gave up the research and development of yellow gunpowder, planning to wait for the Europeans to invent this gunpowder and let the spies steal it, or simply unify the world before the yellow gunpowder appeared, and then ...... There is no need to develop yellow powder......

The sudden appearance of this task in the Imperial Age system was obviously urging Zhao Dutian to strike first, taking advantage of the anti-Han alliance's lack of strength, to catch them off guard!

It is true that in the huge South American and British North American colonies, in the years when there were no tanks, it was a fool's dream to fight a blitzkrieg, but it was still possible to use a preemptive strike to seize some rich border territory and reduce the reserve forces of the anti-Han coalition in the Americas!

The mission target given in the Age of Empires system - British Guiana, the agents of the Han Empire have long been infiltrated, and the degree of development there is not bad.

British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, and French Guiana divided this small piece of land bordering the Atlantic Ocean, bordering the Venezuelan region of the province of Colombia, and three European colonies in Guyana, each with only one coastal city, but the reason why these three areas attracted European colonists to compete for division was that these three places were rich in various minerals and rare metals, in particular, in the Dutch Guiana region, a black combustible liquid - oil was also found!

It's just that oil in this era was of little use except for burning, and steam trains were used to burn coal......

Such a place, although it looks good, but it is not worthy of the Han Empire to capture first, in the plan of the Imperial General Staff, it is a relatively safe way to defend first and then attack, after all, the overall strength of the anti-Han alliance is there, and it is not a behemoth that the Han Empire can defeat!

However, Zhao Dutian knows very well that what he can rise and retain his dictatorial power is not a vast territory at all, nor a large army of hundreds of thousands of indigenous Indians, but the imperial age system!

Since the Age of Empires system says that as long as you grab as much territory as possible and kill and injure the enemy's vital forces, you can obtain yellow gunpowder experts and speed up the research and development process of yellow gunpowder, Zhao Dutian naturally has to work hard to achieve the goal!

As long as there is a mature ratio technology of yellow gunpowder, with the industrial strength of the Han Empire, a real grenade filled with TNT can be mass-produced in a few months!

Even firing such a grenade from a front-loading smoothbore gun is a nightmare for lining up to shoot tactical privates on the battlefield!

It is conservatively estimated that with the current loading capacity of the largest caliber field guns in the Han Empire, a single shell refilled with yellow gunpowder can abolish the horizontal phalanx of an entire company!

It's completely abolished!

How many companies are there in a battle?

Anyway, it can't be compared to the number of shells......

After confirming that the garrison in California was sufficient, Zhao Dutian did not hesitate to take the lead in launching the war!
