Episode 1989 The confrontation between chariots and gunpowder(1/2)
The shipyards on Earth manufactured these things after ten days of production, mainly because these things are not difficult for the productivity on Earth. What Li Cong wants is how to make these sailors
Learning how to adapt to these battleships is the most important thing.
In fact, when Li Cong knew that the Eastern Empire began to develop the ocean, he had already begun to look for deep-water ports on the ocean. This is what Li Cong found. Li Cong named this place the New World. It was said to be a continent, but in fact it was just a
It's just a relatively large island. This island is nothing here, that is, it only covers 12.5 million square kilometers. This kind of territory is about the same as a province on the mainland, but it is the same size as the continent on Earth.
It's almost done. Li Cong has already had the airship inspect all of this island. The island is basically an undeveloped place. Most of the land is plain. It can be said to be a very good place. You can treat it as your own.
The base is very good.
The strategic location here is also very important. It is only 1,390km from the coast of the Eastern Empire, which can be said to be very close. It is also only 1,566km from the coast of the Southern Empire, which can be said to be very close on such a planet.
place, but they have no intention of mining here, so no one comes here. The Eastern Empire is developing to the east of them. As for the south, they have no intention of doing so. The Southern Empire does not have
Any marine development plan, so this area became a blank area. What Li Cong thought was that this would be his future naval base, and even the source of maritime trade would start from here.
There are currently about 300,000 people camped here in the New World. All supplies here are transported by airships, mainly because this place needs to be kept secret. Using airships can be said to be the most confidential thing. Nan
At the beginning, the empire did not allow Li Cong's airship to move on their territory, but now it has opened its airspace to them, mainly because the Southern Empire also understood at this moment that even if they banned it, Li Cong just needed to
Just change the flight time to night and then raise the flight altitude. There is nothing they can do.
Looking at this place from the airship, most of the place is still very primitive. Although 300,000 people is already a lot, for such a huge piece of land, 300,000 people are still very few. However,
Li Cong is already preparing to slowly transform this place within a year. The main thing is to use airships to carry out airship sowing in the places where it is used. He will first turn this place into a huge grain base. In addition to using
Ports are to be built in several places. The other land totals 11 million square kilometers, which translates into 16.5 billion acres of land. Almost all of it can be turned into cultivated land. Such good places are really rare. Now
Li Cong's food sales are already on track. It can be said that relying on some supplies on the rty planet is already making ends meet. It is a very normal idea to have such a plan now. What needs to be solved is how to proceed.
There is a problem, so Li Cong plans to use a month to train hundreds of people step by step. Their role is to use modern machinery to carry out agricultural activities. They should be able to do simple mechanical work very easily.
, and then they continued to teach the remaining people. Of course, these people also had to take genetic medicine. According to the ratio on the earth, this would require at least tens of millions of people. To find so many people in a short time
It is not an easy task for many people to come, it is a huge challenge.
To build a huge farm, Li Cong only needs to spare a few hours every day. The remaining two or three hours are spent teaching those people how to sail, and then he has to look at himself at night.
The third son, it can be said that Li Cong is really tired now and doesn’t know what to say. After two days on the island, he finally achieved some results.
First of all, in terms of agricultural production, more than fifty people have learned how to drive and use machines for watering the ground. The underground water source here is also very rich, and the precipitation is also very abundant. It can be said that there is no such thing here at all.
There are some things that need to be considered about the weather. As for things like harvesters, Li Cong has no way to demonstrate them to them now. The machines used for farming can just be pulled by tractors. These things have been modified to a certain extent and are now
It’s time to use solid energy. Many people on the earth have not started to use solid energy. We should supply it here first. A piece of solid energy the size of a palm can allow a tractor to cultivate more than 5,000 acres of land. Such solid energy
It's really good. The task of these fifty people is to teach thousands of people every day, and then these thousands of people will become their teachers. If they continue to reproduce like this, one of them will be born in a month.
There will be an exam, and those who pass the exam will become instructors. From now on, their task is to train these people specifically. The rest who fail can go to work. Anyway, there is nothing here.
People, they can just slowly explore on their own.
The sailors are also doing a very good job. In the past few days, they have become proficient in using those artillery. As for sailing the ship, it is not difficult for them. They have already begun to hit distant targets.
Although the hit rate is not very high, Li Cong has prepared enough artillery shells for them. Such things can keep them in contact for a long time as long as the factory on the earth is open for one day. Mainly things like this
There is no technical content at all.
Of course, what makes Li Cong the happiest is his third son. This boy is already at level three. Li Cong also knows a lot of things from books and this little guy’s inherited memories, that is, this boy no longer needs to eat.
It's money. You only need to eat a little of this thing every day. Now he can extend more than a dozen tentacles that are fifty meters long. Li Cong carefully counted 18 tentacles, and his attack power is still good.
.At least a fifth-level warrior will feel great pain when he hits him. Of course, Li Cong will not ask this little guy to kill people. He can do such a thing two levels higher. It is really good, but Li Cong
There was no reason to be complacent. Knowing that he had officially started to develop, Li Cong could not hold back this little guy at this time. When he came, Li Cong had already bought enough things he needed.
At this stage, what this kid wants to eat is a kind of fruit in the Warcraft Mountains, something called plum fruit. This thing grows anywhere in the Warcraft Mountains. It can be said that as long as you have time, you can carry a lot of it.
Come on. The price of this thing is slightly more expensive than a grenade, only 200 taels of silver. There are many outside the Warcraft Mountains. Many first-level and second-level warriors can get more than a dozen in a day.
Of course. This is also risky. Ordinary people naturally don't dare to come here, but they also eat a lot of worthless things. This little guy eats a million plums a day.
When Li came here, he directly plundered a lot of plums from the entire Northern Empire, and had to transport a lot of them every day. This is 200 million taels of silver per day. This is only the first stage of the third level. Li Cong
When I talked to him, I knew that in the second stage, the number would be twice that, and in the third stage, it would be four times, which means that at that time, 4 million pieces will be eaten every day, and 800 million silver pieces will be consumed every day.
This kind of amount is a bit too much for Li Cong. Fortunately, Li Cong has a complete acquisition network. Without such a network, it is estimated that Li Cong would not be able to find so many plums even if he has so much money.
Yes, because basically everyone does it for themselves.
In addition, this kid had to suck away Li Cong's mental energy every day. Li Cong knew from books that if he ate so many plums every day, he would not become so powerful.
It is estimated that this has something to do with my mental power. At the beginning, my mental power also made many of my subordinates in the Warcraft Mountains become very powerful. Maybe this time is completely the same as that time, otherwise this
There is no way to explain things.
In addition, Li Cong also often needs to understand his own magic. Li Cong has not delved into magic for a long time. In fact, there are a lot of magic that Li Cong needs to learn now, but all the magic books in the future are required.
If you don't do the task, it will never be given to you. Even if you are the president of the Magician's Guild, you can't do it. But Li Cong is already very powerful with some foundation magic.
So Li Cong felt that he should just slowly improve his mental power. As for those magic books, forget about them. He had no intention of learning them at all.
Just when Li Cong was living his life peacefully, a new war was ushering in on the front line of the Northern Empire.
Linghu and Tuoba Yuanye were both smart people. Tuoba Yuanye knew that Li Cong wanted to cooperate with this guy, so he had no intention of treating him as a prisoner. This guy didn't want to be a prisoner himself.
Awakening, this guy doesn’t know anything about things in the army, so the two of them usually get along very well.
"Why did you get up so early? Isn't today the same as yesterday? It's pointless for you to fight a war like this. Why did you drag me up? Aren't they very powerful? I'm too lazy to watch your one-sided war."
On this day, it had just dawned, and Linghu was still rubbing his eyes vigorously. Tuoba Yuanye pulled this boy up. What was going on? Why did he need this boy to come?
Watch.
"Today is different from the past. Our spies have come to report that there is a very large chariot in the Eastern Empire's army. I asked you to come and see if you have seen anything like this. If not,
If you are careful, something may happen. The most important thing is that the people in the Eastern Empire think they can break through our defense line with this thing." Tuoba Yuanye said worriedly, and he told him when Li Cong left.
Nothing will change on the front line. I will definitely stick here and nothing will happen.
"Chariot? Are you kidding? That thing was eliminated from our Eastern Empire's army a long time ago. They want to use it to fight you? This is simply seeking death. There is absolutely no way such a thing will happen.
, Unless none of them want to live anymore, I feel that such a thing will never happen." Linghu said with some disbelief. The chariot was indeed a good weapon in history. But with the increase of the cavalry,
As it grows, this thing becomes useless. Basically no one likes this thing anymore. Sitting on it means death.
"This is definitely not a joke. This is definitely the most real thing. We are not wrong at all. We have received news that this is the latest tank. It seems that it is the one." Takuba Yuanye said one
The telescope taught this guy that such a huge thing had already appeared on the distant horizon. Linghu saw this thing vaguely at first. Later, he felt that it was as tall as himself. Damn it, this is it.
That so-called chariot? It's too fucking high, it's very huge. Something like this might actually be able to get over.
"The war may become more cruel." Takuba Yuanye said with some worry. He was not worried about whether he could deal with this. He was really worried about how many of these things there were. A small number would be fine, but if there were too many, then...
Linghu is not a fool. He naturally knows that this matter will be similar to what Tuoba Yuanye said. Now it is at the last moment. The combat effectiveness of these tanks is definitely very powerful, and the people over there are also
They all used their lives to block some of the trenches dug by Li Cong and others, and then the people below shouted at the top of their lungs to rush over. The slow process caused more people to lose their lives, but this time it was to the Eastern Empire.
People have seen hope. They can follow this thing and break through the previously insurmountable line of defense. This is such exciting news for them.
"The enemy is coming fiercely. We can't just sit back and wait for death. We have to change our previous tactics, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses. If they break through this line of defense, you are finished, and I am also finished." Linghu said worriedly.
, Although I was worried about the people in the Eastern Empire before, but now I think about my cooperation with Li Cong and what I did on the warehouse island. If this fails, I will have nothing when I go back. This is
This must never happen. I don't want to be like those idle children of the family who eat, drink and play with women every day.
"How to attack? Our army may not be able to get through it now. Even if it can, look at that thing. It's so huge. The cavalry and infantry may not have any effect in the past." Takuba Yuanye said worriedly.
, those tanks are about to break through the trench area, and their losses are also very heavy, but being able to break through here is their greatest victory. Next will be those barbed wire fences, which are very effective for people and horses.
Yes, but for something so tall, the barbed wire may not be of any use and can only become a stumbling block for the other party.
"By the way, the gunpowder that Cao Ke left behind." Linghu was still a little unclear about these new things, so he might not be able to remember them when he mentioned them. "Hurry up, use that thing."
, that is the most effective, it will definitely be no problem if you hit it on that thing." It was good that he could think of this at this time, but if Li Cong were here, he would definitely not do that, he would definitely let him
These things continued to move forward, and when they were close to him, when they opened the iron lid, they directly wrapped the gunpowder with bows and arrows and shot it in. This was the result Li Cong wanted, so that the largest scale attack could be carried out.
Killing, otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve a complete victory. The so-called complete victory is what Li Cong did before. Thousands of his own people died, and others lost hundreds of thousands.
Tuoba Yuanye also thought of that thing, but that thing is their last guarantee. If it is used now, and if the enemy has something powerful, then wouldn't we have no trump card? As the commander-in-chief of an army,
He must think that way, otherwise there will be serious consequences. Is it now the last minute?
The shouts of killing in front were already very powerful. After a rough observation this time, there were about 500,000 people coming from the Eastern Empire, and there were more than 20 such tall tanks. What Linghu Pinqiu wanted at the beginning was
They did twenty, and the people below did five more. They didn’t want their research to be cut off so soon, and they also wanted to hear news of victory. As a result, they are doing really well now.
Millions of cavalry were lost but they did not advance into the trench. Several generals at the back of the Eastern Empire seemed to have seen the hope of victory in this war. This huge tank was really their blessing. They
You can tell Linghu Pinqiu when you go back. This thing must be built on a large scale. Breaking through the entire defense line is just around the corner. They all seem to see Cao Ke's army quickly retreating.
"Haha, I said this thing is absolutely powerful. At the beginning, many people said that I was wasting my life and wasting my money. Damn it, next time I will definitely board the chariot myself and kill it. Haha,
It’s so satisfying. From the beginning of the battle to now, only this time we have crossed over, and the victory in the future is certain. We must give good rewards when we go back." The general who led the team said loudly, and the generals around him also responded one by one.
They all agreed. They all knew that if this thing was really good, the old general would definitely vigorously promote this guy. They originally thought that following them would lead to death, but who knew that this would be a great achievement. Such a thing they
If you don't want to, then you are really a fool. The credit is waiting for you. Of course, they are trying their best to flatter this guy at this time. They are afraid that they will be left behind when the merits are rewarded. That is a big deal.
Isn't it just for that day that you came to the front line? If this is all gone, what else are you doing?
"The general's vision is naturally good. When we go back one by one, we will have to rely on the general's glory. If this thing can directly break through the defense line today, I think the day when the general will become a great general is not far away.
To be continued...
