Chapter 358: Equipment Transformation
In this matter, the Tiger King went home and talked to his wife, and his wife told him to record all the words of his husband, let's learn things slowly, read every day, and there will always be a day when we can understand.
Although the Tiger King's wife is just the daughter of an ordinary merchant, her visible knowledge is slightly stronger than that of the Tiger King, and he feels that it makes sense when he hears it, and from that day on, he will carry a pen and paper at any time, regardless of whether he is useful or not, write it down first.
1,000 auxiliary troops are the first to be in place, don't look at Renault's 3,000 Divine Engineer Army, but in fact, the main army is only 1,000 people, plus 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, as well as the air force and navy, the total number of people must exceed 3,000, and even 5,000 may not be able to stop it.
Renault doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands basic military knowledge, the more advanced the army, the more dependent on logistics, real soldiers, as long as the firepower is exported, he is not ready to build a unit that relies on hand-to-hand combat to win.
"Huya recorded, ordered, established the Admiralty of Shengong City, transferred Lan Bing as the Minister of the Navy, controlled by the Tiger King, and all ships were under the management of the Admiralty. ”
"Yes. Huya recorded quickly, and occasionally there were words that he couldn't write, so he glanced at Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang glared at him, and asked your daughter-in-law.
Huya is married, and now he has a daughter, and Si Shan's name in Shengong City is no smaller than Huya, and everything related to food belongs to Si Shan.
The world is big, the food is the biggest, here, you can not know Huya, there are two people who must know. One is naturally His Excellency Master Lei, and the other is the lady of the chef, if you dare to disrespect these two, the former will be beaten to death, and the latter will be starved to death.
On the issue of children, Renaud has some trouble, and I don't know if it is a problem caused by crossing, now by his side, not only Gong Churui, but also Mo Xiang, even the ninth princess is also included in the room, there are many women around him, but they are not pregnant.
Not only Renault was a little anxious about this, but also several women, as well as the old ministers of the Shengong Palace, were also very anxious.
Renault is different from other temple secrets, the Shengong Temple has now become a Shengong City, with nearly 10,000 people under the 800 subordinates, which is a huge force, not only powerful, but also rich. That is, in Nanzhang, money is useless, and everyone doesn't care very much, if the things produced, including these workshops, are converted into coins, it is an incomparably large number.
Who will these properties belong to in the future?
The temple has such a problem, every secret master will leave a lot of wealth to his descendants, but if the descendants are not filial, two to three generations will be squandered.
Shengong City is not only rich, but also powerful, which is troublesome. If one day in the future, Lei Shi is gone, who will Shengong City listen to?
Except for Song Zhe who can suppress the field, he can't pick out a second person, and even Gong Churui, the grandmaster lady, is afraid that he can't hold it down.
Fortunately, Renault is still young, so he doesn't have to think about these things for the time being, and Renault has now become a grandmaster, maybe in the next few decades, he can get one step closer and become an earth immortal.
"Order, the Shengong City Flying Team, transfer fifty airships, and form the Shengong City Air Force, with Lan Yunxi as the command of the Air Force, under the control of the Tiger King. ”
"Order, the artisan battalion laboratory, three experimental groups will be dispatched, and the craftsman battalion will be dispatched with no less than three hundred craftsmen to prepare equipment transformation and weapon updates. Renault continued.
There are still many benefits to starting a war with the Austrians, and for Da Chu, the pressure is extremely great, but Renault can see the weaknesses of the Austrians from the war, design weapons in a targeted manner, and improve the existing equipment.
First of all, the air force, and now the air forces of both sides, even if children are playing, neither has the means to attack the other, but can only attack the ground.
This is easier to do, in fact, whether it is a hot air balloon or an airship, the shortcomings are too obvious, slow speed, poor flexibility. There are too many ways to target, the best is naturally an airplane, Renault has it in his hand, although it is a foot-pedal, but after all, it is an airplane, and the flexibility is much stronger than that of a hot air balloon.
The airship naturally also has its advantages, the load capacity is large, as long as the largest airship is transformed, it can become an air combat platform, if one airship is not enough, you can also connect two or four airships together to create an air carrier.
The gondola is converted into a platform, carrying the plane into the sky, reaching a suitable altitude, and releasing the aircraft, the initial speed of the aircraft is faster than that of an airship.
Coupled with the flexibility of the aircraft, it is too easy to shoot down the hot air balloon of the Austrians, and it is difficult to miss such a big target. Even weapons are ready-made, there is no need for thermal weapons, it is enough to load the fire-filled crossbow arrows from the battleship on the plane, hot air balloons and airships, the most afraid is fire.
After giving the order, Renault took out a pen and paper, wrote and drew on it, and quickly designed an air aircraft carrier, which is still only a transitional weapon, real air power, must have an internal combustion engine, the manufacturing of that thing is too difficult, according to Renault's calculations, it can be studied after five years, even if it is fast.
"Light and strong materials are needed, as a lifting platform for air carriers, and a considerable number of weapons need to be stockpiled. Renault muttered to himself, put away the pen, in less than an hour, the air carrier design was completed, in fact, this thing does not need to be designed at all, just an idea, the integration of several existing equipment together is done.
Aircraft carriers, bombing airships, transport airships, medical airships......
As soon as the brain hole was opened, after half a day's effort, Renault designed nearly ten airships for different purposes, anyway, they all used the existing airships as platforms, and there were not many places that needed to be modified.
Now the number of airships in Shengong City is more than five hundred, although they are very busy, it is not a problem to transfer fifty airships at all, if necessary, they can also ask for some airships from the Ministry of War, I believe they are very willing to learn from Shengong City, and they should pay some tuition.
What really gave Renault a headache was the weapons on the naval battleship, let him use the front loading seat to withdraw the gun, Renault was unwilling, not to mention the backward solid ammunition artillery, even if it was replaced with a front-loading gun that fired a shell, Renault couldn't look at it, the rate of fire was too slow.
But the artillery can be retracted, there are still a bunch of problems that have not been solved, and the performance of the trigger fuse is still not up to par, do you want to go to bed with a crossbow?
In terms of range, Da Chu's strongest bed crossbow is no worse than the front-loading artillery, and even stronger, with a maximum range of up to 500 zhang, within 200 zhang, it can be shot into the city wall more than two feet deep, and it also has a strong lethality against a single target outside 400 zhang.
The front-loading artillery is far behind, the muzzle velocity is high, but the firing range is only more than 300 zhang, less than two miles, at this distance, it has a good performance, beyond this distance, the kinetic energy is quickly exhausted.
The bed crossbow is a weapon, in naval warfare, it is unrealistic to kill and injure the enemy by the penetrating power of the crossbow arrow, with the oil oil, it does have a good performance, but this is far from enough, as long as the enemy's damage management is forceful, a tube of oil is only two or three catties, and it is easy to be extinguished.
Renault naturally didn't like the effect of this ignition oil, and when it was replaced with black powder, the effect was average.
There is a way, Lao Tzu uses an ironclad ship, and the most powerful thing is defense, since the ironclad defense is strong enough, why not get close to fight?
Thinking, fixed thinking limits imagination. Renault comes from the earth, in his cognition, naval warfare, this way of warfare, basically no more, even if pushed forward a few hundred years, everyone is also outside the visual range of combat, who fights far, hit accurately, who can win, and it is an undamaged victory.
The problem is, this is Da Chu, everyone is still playing broadside battles, biting the knife and jumping on the enemy ship, wielding the knife and slashing is the norm, and the buddy still thinks about fighting outside the line of sight in his mind, and the gap is too far.
Renault wrote on a piece of paper: the optimal distance, between fifty and one hundred zhang, increase the amount of oil and gunpowder.
After the work, there are also weapons for naval warfare, there is no need for front-loading artillery, a sufficient amount of gunpowder and fire oil is installed on the crossbow arrows, blow them up, burn them......
No, it's not over yet, air power, aircraft carriers have heard of it, since they have air superiority, there is no reason not to use it in naval battles.
Aircraft reconnaissance, small hot air balloon bombing......
Aircraft carrier fleet ......
The more Renault thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, the sea is different from the land, the Austrians are afraid that they have not thought about it, the hot air balloon can also be used in naval warfare, even if it is not afraid, from the current wars, Renault did not find that the Austrians have a pedal plane, there is no aircraft protection, the hot air balloon is to deliver food, how many are knocked out.
With a stroke of the pen, an aircraft carrier converted by the fat man was completed, except for the flight deck and aircraft cabin to be transformed, the rest did not need to be changed, directly from the transport ship to the aircraft carrier, anyway, the fat man is under construction, and now the change is in a hurry.
"Huya, give this design to Xiaoman, and let him transform the two fat boats out, the sooner the better. ”
"Yes. Huya never asked what the gentleman thought or what he said, and immediately led people to ride fast horses and headed for the dock by the sea.
"Uncle Wang, this is the first part of the infantry drill code I wrote, take it to study it first, if you don't understand, feel free to ask me, the problem of the source of soldiers has been solved for you, except for a small part of the coolies, from the new recruits of the desert legion, eight hundred recruits are drawn, and only one hundred veterans are needed. ”
"Thank you, sir, thank you. "The Tiger King didn't expect that he just wanted to make some meritorious deeds on the front line, and Mr. went to do it as a big thing, and for more than ten days, he was busy helping him build a new army.
Big face, even if General Wei is in person, Mr. only took the time to see him, the longest long conversation was only half a day, and it took so much time for him to be the king of tigers......
The Tiger King flew in an airship to meet the troops of the Desert Legion, and he asked the master to teach him the method of selecting 800 recruits and 100 veterans.
Twenty days later, in the newly built barracks, the main soldiers of Shengong City were in place, and a thousand auxiliary soldiers also began to practice.
"Stand up straight, even if there are knives in the sky, stand up straight for me, such a little rain, what are you afraid of?" In the wind and rain, the Tiger King roared angrily, the Nine Rank Martial Artist is still quite deterrent to ordinary soldiers.
Discipline, obedience, habit......
Renault has explained several times, but the Tiger King still can't fully understand it, whether he can understand it or not, what Mr. said is right, just do it.
