Lu Yu blinked, and then smiled bitterly: "Are you letting me go, or are you not letting me go?"

Zizi said: "The dragon clan is there, they won't move, if they don't go...... It's up to you. ”

After speaking, he didn't seem to have any more words with Lu Yu, and turned around and left directly, looking very chic.

The rest of the people also left directly after glancing at Lu Yu with a little meaning.

Blinking, Lu Yu looked at the people who left, and then said with a wry smile: "Trouble......

Shaoyi hadn't left yet, and was standing behind Lu Yu at this time, on the one hand, he was curious about what he was going to say to Zizi, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Lu Yu would go to the colorful god phoenix and finally kick the fox clan out of this good thing.

Hearing Lu Yu suddenly say this for no reason, he asked directly: "What's the trouble? Are you afraid of the Dragon Clan? No, this war between the Wolf Clan and the Jade Rabbit Clan, which no one thought could be reversed, turned out to be such a good thing by you, what else could be troublesome for you? And you still have such a powerful family behind you." ”

Lu Yu sighed and said, "The wisdom of the country is different from the wisdom of the individual. ”

"The state and the individual? that's ...... What?"

Lu Yu smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this world, he heard many people complain about the country and the country, in short...... All regimes, in the eyes of those ordinary people, are fools, dementia.

It's as if a dog and a pig are sitting in that high position, and they are much stronger than them.

Is that really the case?

The same is gunpowder, later generations often criticize it so much, saying that the ancient people of the Celestial Empire were too idiots, and they didn't use what they invented, they didn't use it as entertainment, and then they became weapons when they went abroad, and in the end they took these firearms and you defeated them, what an idiot?

Is this really the case?

When gunpowder was invented, it was actually used as a tool by people, and it had nothing to do with entertainment. The earliest gunpowder had a high sulfur content, and ignition could expel the miasma between the mountains and forests, in short, it was disinfection and sterilization.

With the continuous experimentation and research of the proportion of gunpowder, it finally reached the level of black powder, and it was also made into a weapon in the first place.

Put it in a bamboo tube, and then stuff it with a hard stone or iron ball, and after blasting, it can hurt people at close range, and it was first used in the sleeve arrow of the ranger, which is a kind of hidden weapon.

It was then introduced into the army as a tool for marching and fighting.

But after all, it can't be done.

There are three reasons, the smelting technology is not good, to put it bluntly, the ancient steelmaking technology of the Celestial Empire is '100 smelting into steel', the flame temperature is not enough, can only be hammered under thousands of hammers, and the pig iron is smelted into steel, which is the absolute leader in this aspect. But...... How is it possible to refine a uniform cylindrical object with the hammering of steelmaking techniques?

OK!

But not too small.

So the second development of gunpowder was the cannon.

But that was a long, long time later.

The shackles of smelting technology make it impossible for firearms to be used in large quantities.

On the contrary, foreign countries with less advanced skills have taken another path when they cannot make great progress in smelting technology.

To put it simply, if you forge a blade, the Celestial Empire looks at the technique, and the foreign country looks at the raw material.

Therefore, what they think about is how to improve the raw materials, instead of using only limited resources like the Celestial Empire, and then research the most complex and superb skills for forging.

Outcome...... It was indeed they who first came up with a barrel that was not so easy to blow up.

In this way, there is a difference in disposable and durability between firearms in the Celestial Empire and foreign countries.

The second reason.

Applicability!

The wars of the Celestial Empire are often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. Disposable, or...... Even that kind of smoothbore gun, something that can only shoot one bullet at a time, doesn't make any sense in a war of this scale. First of all, the cost of that kind of gun is very high, and then the meaning of actual combat is that after firing a shot, it will be destroyed by a charge. Whether it is defending a city or fighting, the speed of loading ammunition and the accuracy are not as good as bows and arrows, and the flexibility is also greatly inferior, so why use firearms? On the other hand, in foreign countries, there are thousands or even hundreds of people in a battle, and as long as the use of firearms allows a soldier to kill a person first, and then directly engage in short-handedness, slashing and stabbing with a sword, there is an advantage.

Of course, to a certain extent, the peak development of other weapons has also restricted the development of firearms.

On the other hand, due to climatic reasons, the storage of gunpowder requires very strict environmental factors. Compared with the extremely complex climate and natural environment of the Celestial Empire, even the United Kingdom, which is afraid of raining for most of the year, has an advantage over the Celestial Empire.

The third reason.

In fact, this reason is probably the most important reason.

Farming is not good at warfare.

It's not the fault of the war, it's not the fault of the soldiers, the congenital conditions are placed here, and there is nothing to be done.

!r see % positive ^t version chapter, "on. y

Every country and region has its own things to do and things to do.

For the Celestial Empire, war ...... As if it wasn't the right one.

Weapons are good or bad...... It's not as important as people think.

During the Song Dynasty, the development of weapons was extremely advanced, and cold weapons had reached their peak, even in modern times, there was no way to surpass them, and even some siege crossbow arrows and the like, there is no way to reproduce them now. There were also expensive and well-equipped cavalry, and even ...... There are also artillery-based firearms, which have absolute equipment strength on the battlefield, which can be regarded as the same advantage as crushing.

This advantage is relative to the whole world!

But so what?

I can't beat it, I just can't beat it!

The Qing Dynasty said that weapons were not good, so they also lost in various ways.

But in fact, although the Qing Dynasty could not make its own things, it had money, and money could buy everything.

The Qing Dynasty had the most well-equipped army in the world at that time, and it cut seventeen or eighteen island katana with a single knife without jumping blades.

With the most sophisticated and luxurious fleet in the entire East Asian region, it is really the most powerful fleet in East Asia.

Troops, equipment, and logistical supplies were all crushed several times.

But...... I can't beat it, I just can't beat it!

A country can always think of more things than an ordinary person, more deeply, and what needs to be taken into account is also the overall situation, and maintaining a rule is far from being as simple as people think.

At the very least, few people would doubt the legitimacy of a nation's rule, and that is where the success of the state lies.

To put it simply, this is also the difference between 'dimensions'.

It's like an ant who sees a person in a car, and maybe it thinks, look, what an idiot that 'man' is, running all the way over and being swallowed alive by an 'ironclad beast', and it also ran into someone's stomach by itself. Sure enough, the creature 'human' is stupid!
