Chapter 308: Two-line development
As the chief advisor of the royal family, the advisor naturally needs to carry out long-term strategic planning for the state of Chu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the short- and medium-term goals are concerned, it is necessary to quickly unify the mainland, integrate resources, form a cultural identity, and enrich the people and strengthen the army.
However, the long-term strategic goal is how to resist the invasion of the Tang, Han, Ming and other continental hegemons. According to intelligence, these old powerhouses already have one or even several continents, and their strength is far above the Chu State, which only accounts for 1/4 of the Qingyun Continent.
This is overwhelming and has been accumulating for hundreds of years. No matter how hard the Chu State tries, it is impossible to catch up within one or two generations. Therefore, the state of Chu must find another way, not just on the immortal martial arts, but need to adopt double-line or even multi-line development.
Although the knowledge system inherited by the corpse demon clan is very complex, except for the necromantic system, which is relatively complete, the rest of the knowledge systems that have been plundered are fragmented and do not have a complete skill tree.
And although the necromantic system of the corpse demon clan has developed to the highest stage, after all, it is not something that can be cultivated by the living.
In the end, Gu Wen could only put his mind on the scientific and technological civilization system that he was quite familiar with. He is ready to use immortal martial arts and scientific and technological civilization as the dual core, and then learn from some of the characteristics of other civilizations, so that the Chu State can quickly make a civilization leap.
Therefore, after entering the Shenji Workshop, Gu Wen began to sort out the information.
The foundation of scientific and technological civilization lies in energy. There is absolutely no shortage of light energy, water energy, wind energy, and heat energy in the Qingyun Continent, but these energy sources are relatively scattered, the conversion rate is limited, and it is labor-intensive.
Although Gu Wen has already started to design something like a hydropower station, it is unlikely to be deployed on a large scale for the time being.
In fact, Gu Wen is not ready to point the technology tree into a civilian type. Everything takes precedence over war. In fact, at any time, the most advanced technology is first applied to the military.
But in the era of scientific and technological civilization, the combat effectiveness of scientific and technological civilization was simply scum. Any elite warrior in the Qingyun Continent was about the existence of thousands of people and ten thousand enemies in the Blue Star feudal era. Not to mention heroes and real people.
The combat power of scientific and technological civilization originated in the industrial age, and the energy sources that originated in the industrial age were: coal and oil.
With these two things, the power machinery such as the steam engine and the internal combustion engine will burst out with great power. Add chemicals, TNT, nitroglycerin, and the like, and you can make a grand appearance of thermal weapons.
Although the combat effectiveness of ordinary firearms thermal weapons is limited, its advantage is that ordinary people can operate it. Even if the Qingyun Continent is an apprentice, he has the strength of several hundred catties, and it is not a problem to carry a six-pipe Thunder God Dense Array or something.
Civilians equipped with powerful thermal weapons can compete with elite warriors. The invasion army of the outer continent, which is dominated by elite fighters, encounters at least 100 times more armed civilians, and the outcome can be imagined.
Fantasizing about the scene of hundreds of millions of heavy machine guns roaring at the enemy and firing barrages, Gu Wen was a little excited.
But after searching the geological sample library of Shenjifang, Gu Wen was poured a basin of cold water on his head:
"How is it possible? There is no coal and oil in the Qingyun Continent?
Gu Wen studied carefully for a while and found a rather sad reality, the geological structure of the Qingyun Continent, or the Qingyun Crystal Wall, was too stable, and there were almost no traces of continental drift.
In fact, Gu Wen has never figured out what kind of system the Qingyun Crystal Wall is, or what kind of system the Qingyun Universe is.
It seems that the main continent system of Qingyun and the ocean are an approximate plane, ancient and stable.
Gu Wen was blind: "Without coal and oil, do you have to rely on things like batteries and black powder?" ”
Imagine a large wave of civilians, riding battery cars, holding bird guns, heroically attacking the elite soldiers of the outer continent armed to the teeth, the picture is really beautiful.
After being depressed for a few days, Gu Wen finally saw the light of day in a front-line battle report.
According to the legends of some old people in the occupied areas of the Sangshu Plain, a long, long time ago, the Lonely and Gonggar Mountains were one. The Sanshu Plain is a large lake on top of the top, surrounded by dense forests.
In the ancient chaotic era, the immortals of the upper realm could descend to the earth, and they were not so harmonious, and often fought each other. There were two powerful groups of immortals who fought fiercely in the Sangshu Plain.
Eventually, the Great Lake and the surrounding forests were completely destroyed, and the current barren Sansan Plain was turned into the barren Sansan Plain.
Many years later, some strange landforms began to appear on the Sangshu Plain, such as the ground was full of black stones, and in some places, black oil came out from time to time, staining the sand and soil.
These places are known locally as the Cursed Lands. However, in Gu Wen's opinion, this is a real blessed place.
When the geological samples of the Sangshu Plain were transmitted, Gu Wen happily saw the open-pit coal and stone in good condition, as well as oil sand. Judging by the maps drawn, the coal and oil stocks there are quite good, although they cannot support the industrialization of the entire continent.
Gu Wen also asked the Ministry of Industry to send a survey team to go around the places where there are legends of fairy fights to continue to look for mineral deposits.
Gu Wen decided to adjust the plan and first use the resources in front of him to build a modern fleet. On the surface of the sea, thermal weapons are more effective.
The power of the steam engine far surpassed that of sails and manpower, the protection of ironclad ships was better than that of wooden ships, and the battle guns of "justice within the caliber" were hundreds of times longer than those of crossbows and bows and arrows in terms of range and power.
As long as you build two fast fleets with more than ten heavy artillery armored battleships, twenty cruisers, and 100 destroyers, you can defeat any enemy who comes in.
Even if the opponent's fleet is too large, the fast fleet can easily cut off the enemy's supply lines, tilting the war situation towards the Qingyun Continent.
"The era of sea power is up to me. Gu Wen muttered to himself, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw the drawings of the battleship. Being able to reproduce the top weapons of the Blue Star before the aviation era in the Qingyun Continent, Gu Wen's dick silk heart was greatly vainly satisfied.
Gu Wenzheng was painting happily, and suddenly there was a sound outside the door, and his assistant Ding Dingding walked in.
Ding Dingding is a young man with a kind smile on his face all day long. Despite the fact that his whole body was covered tightly by the gray suit, his gait, mannerisms, and voice could still be felt in his happy mood.
Being able to become the assistant of the legendary Mr. Gu really made countless peers envious, jealous and hateful.
Ding Dingding is indeed worthy of being a top student of the Royal Institute of Engineering, his mind is as flexible as his hands and feet, and he can quickly clarify the context of anything that Gu Wen explains, and complete it in the most efficient way, and even always exceed expectations.
Just a little, definitely not too much. It can be seen that Ding Dingding is very smart and his emotional intelligence is unusually high.
And although he was polite on the surface, Gu Wen knew that Ding Dingding was actually an extreme hero, and his combat effectiveness was absolutely amazing. In fact, Gu Wen probably knew that Ding Dingding was definitely more than just an engineering student.
His true identity is either the royal guard or the national security. But Gu Wen didn't care.
If Xiang Yan was so relieved to stay in the core department of the empire, without monitoring and prevention. I don't think anyone can believe it.
Therefore, Gu Wen should not know how to summon it, and if there is something that can be taught, he will not hide it. Ding Dingding didn't know that the relationship between the two was quite harmonious.
Ding Dingding stood still behind Gu Wen's side and made a disciple salute, without interrupting Gu Wen's drawing work.
It wasn't until Gu Wen basically finished drawing the frame of the battleship that he stopped writing. Ding Dingding said respectfully: "Mr. Gu, I heard that Miss Xiao has encountered a little trouble outside. ”
The pen in Gu Wen's hand paused. Xiao Ying's existence is indeed a thorn in Gu Wen's heart. For a long time, Gu Wen has tried to avoid mentioning Xiao Ying in front of and behind others. Xiao Ying's attitude is to avoid it as much as possible, but there is still a little bit of detachment.
The delicate relationship between Xiao Ying and Gu Wen seems to be known to everyone in the entire capital. Therefore, most of the people in the capital are very polite to Xiao Ying. There are even some smart people who take the initiative to ask for consulting services from Wenying Consulting, and give surprisingly high prices.
For these people, Xiao Ying is very polite, but basically rarely takes orders.
In any case, Xiao Ying rarely encountered trouble in the capital. Even if you encounter an eyeless stunned young man by chance, various mysterious forces will soon emerge to help solve it.
So Ding Dingding said that Xiao Ying was in trouble, that is, most of the forces in the capital, even the military commanders and the Praetorian Guards could not solve the trouble.
"What kind of little trouble is it?" Gu Wen asked calmly.
"It is said that someone is proposing to Miss Xiao. Ding Dingding replied, "Miss Xiao refused, but the man still refused to give up." ”
Gu Wen gently put down the pen in his hand and said calmly: "It seems that this person is not small, the prince, or a disciple of the three major sects?"
Ding Dingding said: "Mr. Gu is really smart, that person is the outer disciple of the Xuanbing Palace in the three major sects, and the white snow swordsman is in the river. ”
Gu Wen suddenly smiled: "Interesting, I still have some grudges with this dragon young man." It seems that the time to end it is time to end. ”
Ding Dingding seemed a little stunned, but quickly said: "Why did Mr. Gu come forward in person? I guess Long Shaoxia was also being used." As far as I can see, just brake and wait and see. Long Shaoxia is also a person with status, so he must not act excessively. ”
"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. Gu Wen shook his head and said, "Xiao Ying is my friend and partner. I didn't come forward and let her be a weak woman to stand up for me, which was unreasonable. ”
"So," Gu Wen dusted off his sleeves and pushed the door out: "Let the trouble come more violently." (To be continued.) )
