Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first

Bo Jinchen's last sentence was like a stroke of genius, and Cui Wenxiu was stunned when he asked Cui Wenxiu. He didn't know how to respond. Changes will bring many changes to future wars, even including strategic and tactical arrangements?"

"Well, that's exactly what I meant. Have you noticed that firecrackers and thunderbolts are no longer a secret, they have begun to be equipped in the army on a large scale, and now there are more than one army regiment Let’s look at Liang Chongxin’s impressive record in using the firecrackers in the battle of Tianmayuan. The cavalry of the Maqihan people, especially the heavy cavalry, hardly played a role under the attack of the firecrackers. It is to become the target of the firecrackers training. I have a feeling that the firecrackers will not only eliminate the heavy cavalry from the history of war, but also its appearance and further improvement will make the heavy infantry and archers in the army Eliminated."

Bo Jinchen has a thoughtful feeling on his face, and almost every sentence hits Cui Wenxiu's heart. As one of the two great military commanders of the Tang Dynasty, he has of course seen the performance of the firecrackers, and he has also considered the firecrackers. Soldiers will bring some changes to future wars, but the role of firecrackers in the northern campaign is more of an auxiliary role, and they are not used on a large scale as in the Battle of Maqihan, so what they bring to him The impact is far less profound than that of Bo Jinchen, who carefully read and understood the role and results of the firecrackers in the Battle of Maqihan. Today, he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the firecrackers after hearing what Bo Jinchen said. The emergence of this arm brought great changes to the imperial military.

"Old Bo, what you said is not a bit exaggerated. The appearance of the Fire Gunners and Thunderbolts is indeed a huge improvement. The role of the heavy cavalry may be greatly curbed in the future, or the heavy cavalry It will gradually lose its effectiveness, but is it a bit exaggerated to say that the firecrackers eliminate infantry and archers?" As shrewd as Cui Wenxiu, it is difficult to accept Bo Jinchen's deafening opinion at once, "The firecrackers also have many of their own. Weaknesses. For example, their guns will be greatly limited in rainy days, the projectile filling speed is still too slow, the quality of the firearms is worrying, and they are prone to failure. More importantly, they have almost no combat capabilities in melee. This is their fatal weakness .”

"Wenxiu, the defects you mentioned do exist, but as far as I know, the technology development department seems to have a solution to the problem that the gunpowder will be wet when it rains, and it is estimated that it will be improved soon. It will be used in firecrackers. Generally, rainy days will not affect the combat effectiveness of firecrackers. As for the speed of projectile filling, the Science and Technology Development Department is also further optimizing and improving it. Of course, it is more important to rely on the daily training of army soldiers to improve it. Speed. The quality of the firecracker is not a problem. I consulted the Science and Technology Development Department. The quality of the firecracker is mainly caused by the steel quality of the barrel and the quality of the gunpowder. The two main problems are now said to have made breakthroughs. Now the empire Both the Ministry of Economic Development and the Privy Council are paying attention to this issue. The Ministry of Science and Technology Development is said to have made a series of historic breakthroughs in steelmaking methods, which can be called a major leap in the history of steelmaking in mainland China. Not only will the quality of steel be greatly improved, The most important thing is that the output of steel will increase exponentially, and His Majesty the Emperor will even award several scholars and technicians who have made significant contributions to this technological breakthrough as nobles to encourage them, so the quality of the firecrackers may It will also be greatly improved."

When talking about this issue, Bo Jinchen couldn't help being a little excited. Whether it is the entire continent or the empire, the demand for steel is showing an explosive increase. Although a large number of mining and smelting workshops have been built, but For the thriving economic development of various places, these increases are not enough at all, which has also caused the price of steel to rise rapidly, and has seriously affected the economic development of the empire. The Empire Science and Technology Development Department has long conducted experimental cooperation with the Empire’s largest steel giant in order to achieve a breakthrough in the steelmaking method and improve the output and quality of steelmaking. After several years of experiments, it has finally achieved success in the near future. Bo Jinchen, the right envoy of the Privy Council, only learned of this core secret not long ago. Soon, several major iron and steel enterprises in the empire will usher in a period of rapid development, which will also have a huge impact on other industries in the empire.

"Bo always said that thanks to the improvement of the empire's steelmaking technology, the quality of firecrackers will be greatly improved?" Of course Cui Wenxiu knew what benefits the improvement of steelmaking technology would bring to the empire's national economy. But as a soldier, he is more concerned about what changes and impacts the development of steelmaking technology will bring to the army.

"Well, in this way, the empire will also increase its efforts to produce firecrackers. His Majesty intends to produce at least 500,000 firecrackers of various types within this year. At the same time, the mobile second-generation Thunderbolt will also increase Mass production, the imperial army will usher in an unprecedented era of great change." Bo Jinchen took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wenxiu, as high-level officials of the imperial military, we must all be mentally prepared. You must keep up with the times, otherwise you will be eliminated. Chongxin has officially written a letter requesting that the current army infantry equipment be phased out and replaced by all the third-generation firecrackers. At the same time, the firecrackers are equipped with lighter melee weapons as a supplement. Liang Chongxin had a keen eye on this point, not only did he see that the firecrackers would become the mainstream of the imperial army in the future, but he also proposed supplementary measures so that the firecrackers could make up for the lack of melee combat effectiveness."

Bo Jinchen's words made Cui Wenxiu fall into deep thought. Although the other party didn't mean to criticize her at all, Cui Wenxiu felt a burning pain on her face. When he returned to the Central Continent to deal with the Luzon people and the Sioran and Jutlanders who still occupied Nanmeli, Liang Chongxin, who had just won the southern battle, was able to put forward such an opinion to reform the military system. Cui Wenxiu could not I don't think about whether I have been a little intoxicated by the victory of the northern campaign and have not thought about making progress. I originally thought that my performance in the northern campaign could overwhelm Liang Chongxin, and maybe I will rely on a suggestion from Liang Chongxin.

Compared with myself, when I was still thinking about how to conquer the land, Liang Chongxin considered the development direction of the entire Imperial Army from a higher perspective. Shouldn't I also reflect on it?

As Bo Jinchen said, the huge breakthrough in the imperial steel industry made the entire imperial economic development department and the Privy Council extremely excited. In fact, before the breakthrough in the imperial iron and steel industry, the imperial mechanical processing industry also began to enter a slow and steady state. During the stable development period, starting from 700, the scale of a series of workshops for processing steel products expanded rapidly, and the direct reason was the utilization of water power.

However, the breakthrough in the use of hydraulic power did not come from the Ministry of Science and Technology Development of the Empire, but from the folks in Jiangnan. Due to the huge competitive pressure in the textile industry, Ke Chenglun, a textile businessman in Jiangnan, took the lead in developing manual spinning that increased the spinning efficiency by 20 times. After a series of improvements, this advanced technology was officially finalized at the end of 700, and in 5019, it obtained the official patent from the Patent Department of the Imperial Science and Technology Development Department, named the Offset Spinning Machine. Because of the patent, Ke The rapid rise of the traditional textile enterprises in the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River made other textile enterprises have to purchase patents from them if they needed to use this kind of machine. This also made the calculating Jiangnan merchants jealous, and they became more enthusiastic about developing newer and more advanced technologies.

Just when the offset spinning machine was shining brightly, a more advanced and more efficient hydraulic spinning machine finally appeared, and it was only half a year after the patent of the offset spinning machine, and soon the hydraulic spinning machine Also obtained a patent ~IndoMTL.com~ This directly led to the rapid development of the textile industry in Jiangnan. The rapid improvement of the technology of the spinning industry has put the weaving industry under great pressure. Of course, the weaving industry has already accumulated considerable technology. Not to be outdone, after the offset spinning machine appeared, major weaving companies began to carry out targeted research, and soon after the hydraulic spinning machine appeared, corresponding supporting hydraulic looms appeared, spinning and weaving The complementary technological improvement of cloth has caused a huge revolution in the textile industry in Jiangnan and even the entire empire. The improvement in efficiency has made the textile industry in Jiangnan greatly surpass other parts of the empire. The leaders of the group have forced textile enterprises in other regions to follow suit quickly. , The textile industry has also entered a period of rapid renewal.

As the technological upgrading of the textile industry has led to the frantic pursuit of various technological upgrading in the entire imperial economic circle, this upsurge has quickly spread to all walks of life in the economic circle, and the huge benefits brought by technological upgrading have made all walks of life The giants of the world are all aware that if they cannot take the lead in technology, it means that their leadership position is likely to become history, and they will be overthrown by those rising stars. Offset enterprises are a typical proof. The short-term leadership of the yarn machine has brought about the rise of a company, and this also makes those business owners who want to become the boss in their respective industries jealous. If they want to become the second offset, the investment in upgrading technology is the biggest. hope. To make breakthroughs in technological upgrading, it is necessary to have sufficient reserves and innovations in technical talents, which also makes major business owners dig and recruit technical talents.
