Chapter 134: Confidence

readx;? The Barony of Babia in autumn is still a green and beautiful landscape, because it is relatively southern, even if it is late autumn, the temperature is still relatively high, and there are few trees that have begun to lose their leaves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Barony of Babia was notoriously poor in the province of Pavel, because of the iron ore, the land was red clay with high iron content, very barren, and the Babia River formed by melting snow on the main peak of the Daba Mountains passed through here, flooding almost once a year in summer, which can be regarded as a land of poor mountains and bad waters.

Since Qin Shouzhuo was sealed here, the lives of the people in Babiya Mountain have undergone earth-shaking changes. The first phase of 30 million silver coins of investment and large-scale construction destroyed the subsistence small-scale peasant economy here, and the peasants, who had always relied on the mountains, saw the power of industrialization for the first time.

In order to mine iron ore, Qin Shouzhuo configured a large number of Alfang**, and blasted half of the mountain into the sky in one go. Such a stir frightened the stupid natives into almost rebellion, because it would surely anger the mountain gods.

In half a year, from a small camp, a city was expanded to many, many times larger than the nearest town they had ever seen, and with the power of moving mountains and reclamation, a flat land with an area of tens of square kilometers was created in this territory composed entirely of hills.

For these mountain people who have never walked out of the mountains in their lives, the magic that can bulldoze the mountains is no different from miracles, even for a city far away from the mountains, gathering thousands of magicians to do such a thing as an engineering team, it is unthinkable.

Today, Babia City has become the leading industrial city on the entire continent, absorbing nearly 100,000 people, but all walks of life are still in the most serious state of shortage, and even the main job of the two largest flying ships here is not to transport raw materials and goods, but to help recruit displaced people to move.

After more than two years of development, the output of Babia City Steel accounts for 90% of the entire southern continent, and the quality is close to the level of the elite craftsmen of the dwarf race, but the price is only cheaper than the dwarven steel. Countless forces sent spies to the Barony of Babia to steal back the secrets of mass production of steel, but unfortunately the secrets they needed were never hidden, but turned into huge factories and machines, and some of the spies even worked in them, but they never imagined that they were so close to their targets.

After the completion of the main project of the steel plant, Qin Shouzhuo immediately began the construction of a metal processing workshop, and the area of the city's core area was further expanded.

With further metalworking capabilities, Babia City became a super arsenal. The armor of the new plate armor, the sword body of the knight's sword, the monolithic shield, etc., were continuously sent into the assembly workshop under the continuous work of the forging presses ranging from several tons to thousands of tons, and then under the flexible fingers of the female workers, the quaint equipment walked off the production line, into the warehouse, and then was brought back to the city of Babia by the air fleet all over the continent, and then brought back to Babia City for much-needed funds.

After several years of development, the income here has surpassed the dividends of the magic potion factory, becoming the largest cash cow to inject funds into the system built by Qin Shouzhuo, and it is destined to become even bigger.

As early as the initial stage of the business, a large part of Qin's capital relied on hand-built self-propelled magic cannons and phantom sports cars. After the start of his career, Qin Shouzhuo had endless things to do every day, and these two fist products had been de facto discontinued, although every once in a while someone would come around the bush to inquire about their production plans.

If there is demand, there is a market, Qin Shouclumsy doesn't do it, naturally someone else does it, and in more than two years, he can make something out of it. In fact, due to Qin Shouzhuo's delay in launching new products, the huge market demand pushes capital to seek qualified investors, and a new magic power vehicle has appeared on the market a year ago, but there are still several generations of technology with Qin Shouzhuo, in Qin Shouzhuo's view, those are all waste products, and they can't be called cars at all.

Even so, the strong market demand still made it sell for a sky-high price of 100,000 silver coins, which not only quickly paid off the investment, but also gave them the capital to continue research and development.

The premise is that Qin Shouzhuo continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

How could it be possible to continue to play dumb and then hand over the huge automobile market to others? Even if Qin Shouzhuo agreed, the capital and groups united around Qin Shouzhuo would not agree. The Babia Iron and Steel Industry Complex, which has developed to this extent, is like a high-speed chariot, which cannot be stopped.

In the past two years, Qin Shouzhuo has not organized the original group of excellent magic mechanics engineers to reassemble to build the Phantom sports car by hand, which does not mean that Qin Shouzhuo has not done anything.

As engineers with experience in locomotive manufacturing, these people were arranged by Qin Shouzhuo in various positions in this new factory, and then in the workers' night school, a group of workers with the best grades, who had already sensed magic and were introduced to magic mechanics, Qin Shouzhuo simply saved up the number of workers needed to start the two production lines.

After more than half a year of emergency training in the way of the old and the new, it is finally time for trial production, and their products are nothing else, which is the most versatile model - off-road jeep, and the most important model for social development - 5-ton heavy truck.

Of course, it's also a magic revision.

Qin Shouzhuo has been thinking about how to increase the combat capability of the army without expanding the scale, and updating the equipment is naturally the easiest choice.

If he could, Qin Shouzhuo even wanted to change the Babiya mercenary regiment from an infantry corps to an armored corps, adding mechanized equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns. Of course, this is not possible, at least for a short time, and there are several problems with it.

1. It is difficult to manufacture mechanized equipment. It is not impossible to even build motorized equipment, so it is impossible to go directly to mechanization, but the difficulties are real, and this cannot be overcome by relying on a firm spirit, and it still needs time.

2. The problem of excess force. In fact, this is the most difficult, that is, in fact, Qin Shouzhuo also knows that he does not need such a mechanized armored unit. The whole world is still using cold weapons, and if you get a three-step and one-shot shot, you can run rampant all over the world, so why do you have to get armored troops? If you invest a lot of resources but don't get them, won't you become a big fool who is the number one in the sky?

Whoever is half a step ahead of the world is a genius, and your name will be praised by the world, while one step ahead of the world is just a madman.

As a front-line commander who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, Qin Shouzhuo did not come up with some flashy things for some beliefs or romance, unless he miscalculated.

With a full understanding of the second point, it is impossible for Qin Shouzhuo to order the development of tanks, and it is impossible for the limited resources to be invested in these obviously surplus things.

It's like shipbuilding, if you don't have real naval guns, will you be able to use infantry guns? However, the follow-up naval artillery was only a pre-research project, and there were no specific technical and tactical indicators.

At this stage, the only one with specific performance indicators is the 5,000-ton all-steel structure bulk carrier. Because it is expected that in the future, the strong demand for magic crystal ore and various metal ores in the Babia industrial system, as well as the demand for food in the fast-growing Babia City, are both inseparable from large-tonnage bulk carriers.

In addition, even the design of the 5,000-ton passenger ship, Qin Shouzhuo still maintained a natural attitude, doing it when he was free, waiting for others to do it if he was not free, and then acquired him.

The ground force that Qin Shouzhuo envisioned should be an air assault division model with transport ships and air mobility as the mainstay, supplemented by small assault landing craft, and did not rely much on ground mobile vehicles.

It should be said that this is actually Qin Shouzhuo's empirical mistake. In the early years of fighting, although the Hell paratroopers have always jokingly called the "Pelican who is always late", everyone understands that the Pelican is the only reliable plan for a smooth withdrawal from the front line in the fierce fighting.

The Scorpio and the Juzhu of ground action are meat and scum, and they are easy to use and easy to use, but only the Pelican is a life-saving thing.

When he arrived in another world, Qin Shouzhuo naturally wanted to restore his familiar combat mode, and ground vehicles were naturally reduced, and the priority of research and development was infinitely reduced.

What kind of large corps armored cluster assault, Qin Shou, who is a hell paratrooper, has never seen it. To be reasonable, in the face of the armed Pelican, you Scorpio has an egg.

If he had enough energy, Qin Shouzhuo would definitely choose to light up the small landing craft technology first, rather than the tank technology.

But this does not mean that Qin Shouzhuo will casually ignore infantry support equipment, after all, the Hell paratroopers also rely on their legs to fight on the ground, but the way they enter the battlefield is a little wild.

When fighting, everyone wants to follow a ** artillery division behind their buttocks, and they can't wait to dismantle a machine gun fire point to call for 155 heavy artillery regiment fire coverage.

The infantry support vehicle selected by Qin Shouzhuo was a truck gun.

The 5-ton truck, with a sturdy body, good power, and strong mobility, can carry people and load, and has no problem transporting the wounded and ammunition, and can also install a 75mm infantry gun in the body, all that is needed is a rotating platform.

The most important thing is to return to the dual-use of military and civilian, to supply the civilian market in peacetime, and not even need to adjust the production line in wartime, and you can go to the battlefield by changing the paint, which really can't be more hanging.

The most important thing is that Qin Shouzhuo's R&D team is trying to load a small magic cannon on the carriage, and the elevation angle is as high as 85 degrees, such a cannon truck 4, plus a command/engineering vehicle, a power generation vehicle (equipped with a magic crystal burning furnace) just to form a platoon of 6 vehicles, such a platoon just forms an air defense position.

One such anti-aircraft position after another was combined to control the sky above the ground forces, and although the small magic cannon was slightly less powerful, it made the infantry legion officially bid farewell to the time when it was brainlessly tortured and killed by the air fleet.

Even if it is a small magic cannon, if it is accidentally set on fire continuously, the 3,000-ton capital battleship may be sunk.

PS: The Judice and the Scorpio are both from the Halo, the former is a jeep equipped with a three-barreled Green gun, and the latter is the main tank.
