Chapter 471: Competition of the Four Academies
Soon, the entire military fort was cleared, and the defenders of Eastern Wu were almost wiped out. Please search ()!
The fastest updated novel is also something that can't be helped, most of the Eastern Wu soldiers have been killed in the bombing of Keqiu, and most of the remaining ones have been killed in street battles.
There is no room for mercy on the battlefield, and entering a city to fight in the streets, due to the complex terrain, it can be said that it is frightening step by step, and if you react slowly, you are likely to be plotted by the enemy.
Therefore, the strategy adopted by the Han army was to kill the mistake and not let go, as long as they saw a threatening Eastern Wu soldier, they would not hesitate to kill them.
However, in a complex battlefield environment, it is often difficult to judge which Eastern Wu soldiers are threatening and which are not, so this leads the Han soldiers to often overreact, regardless of whether those enemies are threatening or not, anyway, they will shoot as soon as they see someone wearing a Western Wu uniform.
As a result, not many prisoners were captured in this war, but some of the wounded and incapable Soochow soldiers survived.
After capturing the fort, Guan Suo quickly led a group of people to the end of the iron cable.
The Iron Rope was the main target of the attack on the fort.
The group of people brought by Guan Suo were not generals in the army, but some strange people.
In fact, it is not surprising that they are wearing the "Great Han Dragon Academy"
There are students and teachers.
They're here to solve this iron rope.
There are many ways to solve this iron cable in Liu Hou, you can cut it, you can use explosives ~ medicine to blow it up, you can use sulfuric acid to corrode, you can also heat it to melt it, and so on.
But instead of saying it directly, he threw the question to the teachers and students of the academy and asked them to take this opportunity to conduct a study to exercise their research ability.
Since the day this iron cable was established, the "Great Han Longteng Academy"
Many research institutes have begun to study this topic.
There are many research institutes that study this topic, the main ones are the Institute of Chemistry, the Institute of Institutional Science, the Institute of Firearms, the Institute of Smelting and Casting, and so on.
Other majors in philosophy, theology, and gossip are also studying this topic, but those methods are naturally not very reliable.
In the end, each of the above four colleges will come up with ~ a plan that is considered the best in their professional field, and then a group of experts from the college will review and determine the final plan.
The original plan was to use a hydraulic turbine as the power to drive a chainsaw to reciprocate at high speed.
However, thin saws can easily break off at high speeds, and even repeated improvements in the quality of the steel will not help.
Later, Liu Hou heard about their experiments, thought about it, and finally remembered the appearance of the cutting machine in later generations.
Later generations of cutting machines did not use saw blades at all, but grinding wheels.
With a grinding wheel, you only need to do a rotary motion, and you don't need to do a reciprocating motion, so the mechanism is much simpler.
To be honest, Liu Hou also admires Ma Jun and Huang Yueying, masters of mechanical science, who can design and manufacture such exquisite machinery, easily solve the problem of reciprocating motion, and perfectly simulate the process of pulling a saw.
This reciprocating device can be used on vehicles with a slight improvement, and if it is used with a steam engine, many machines and even trains can come out.
The advantage of switching to a grinding wheel is not only to simplify the mechanical structure, but also to break the saw so easily.
A wide blade can successfully cut through hard objects such as metal stones if pressed straight down, and the blade will wear out, but rarely break.
Of course, it was not possible to make a grinding wheel in this era, but it was not difficult to make a wheel with teeth on the edge out of some special steel.
After successfully solving the problem of easy breakage of saw blades, this hydraulic cutting machine device was easily built by these machine masters.
After testing, this cutting machine can cut the simulated Soochow iron cable in an hour or two.
This has to say that their mechanism manufacturing level is indeed very good, although it is not as good as the cutting machines of later generations, but this is mainly a matter of power, not their mechanical manufacturing skills, in this use of water power as the power, can do this kind of process, it is already a great thing.
You must know that if you use manpower to saw, it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half to saw.
However, this scheme also has obvious shortcomings, the first is to install a huge and complex set of equipment, which requires professionals to install and debug this set of equipment.
Fortunately, the site is close to the Yangtze River and has abundant hydraulic resources, otherwise it would have to be transformed into a power unit with animal power.
The second disadvantage is that the loss of the wheel saw is very large, and if you want to cut this thick iron cable, you have to replace the wheel saw many times in the middle.
All in all, this is a technical job, which requires professionals to operate, and ordinary people can't get it, even if Liu Hou comes to operate it, because he is not familiar with the machines of this era.
Moreover, this method takes a lot of time, in addition to the long time it takes to install the equipment, it also takes an hour or two to cut the iron cable, and if there is an emergency military situation and the problem needs to be solved in a short time, this method will not work.
The method of the Smelting and Casting Research Institute is slightly simpler, which is to build a large crucible, put a section of the iron cable into the crucible for calcination, and finally melt the iron cable.
This method is a little simpler than the method of mechanism learning, and the equipment is relatively simpler, but the time is not shorter than the time used for mechanism learning.
The method of the Firearms Research Institute is simple and crude, and of course there is still technical content, they use freshly prepared nitroglycerin to blow up the iron cable.
But this scheme is too dangerous, because nitroglycerin is extremely unstable and will explode if it collides slightly, and no one dares to use their scheme.
After evaluation, the experts unanimously decided to choose the solution provided by the Institute of Chemistry.
The Institute of Chemistry offers both solutions that are safe and simple, and the key is that they are also fast.
Especially in the first option, no equipment is required, and the time is calculated by the second, and it only takes tens of seconds to break the iron cable.
Therefore, today, the Institute of Chemistry sent a group of teachers and students to the scene with Guan Suo's troops, preparing to implement the plan they had been studying for a long time.
The teachers and students did not start immediately, but a middle-aged person who looked like a teacher gave the lecture first.
This teacher obviously thought that he was a senior chemistry teacher, but I saw him talking eloquently, and he taught knowledge related to today's chemistry in simple terms.
A group of students gathered around him and listened with relish.
And on the periphery of these teacher-student circles were Guan Suo and some generals in the army, but they listened tastelessly and were very impatient.
"General, why don't they do it yet, what are they talking about here?"
A general finally couldn't help it and complained to Guan Suo.
It's no wonder that he is often racing against time in military operations, and sometimes a little delay will turn the tide of the war, so most of the soldiers are in a hurry, and they do things neatly, how can they be so procrastinated.
