The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

The navy's plan to go to sea is related to Qin's overseas strategic vision. But for now, Qin still does not have the conditions to go to sea. The Qin State was seriously inadequate in the development of the south. The Bashu Land only provided food logistics guarantee for the Qin State, and the road transportation conditions were bad. Will directly lead to insufficient development of the South.

If you want to solve this problem, Qin must give priority to some domestic resource allocation in this direction. Only in this way can the amount of such resource allocation be accelerated. But Qin currently has no such demand. Moreover, there is no resource that can arouse the interest of Qin's resource needs. In addition to wood and grain, the South does not seem to have a huge temptation to attract Qin to allocate resources on this.

Moreover, the core of this immature plan mentions limited war for the first time. It seems that Zhang Han has already noticed the benefits of Qin's products entering the Chu market. If there is an all-out war, Qin will mobilize a series of military resources to fight. This is what Qin Guo didn't want to see.

Although the role of war in promoting business development is already obvious. But this will undoubtedly increase government spending, and government spending will once again enter a period of unlimited borrowing. This is what Shang Wen tried to avoid. Second, war will increase Qin's tax burden. In terms of Qin's current war potential, there shouldn't be any problems with annexing a Chu state. But this will do nothing to the Qin State.

Qin's taxation will break the current balance, and at least Qin's taxation amount will increase to about 5%. This amount has exceeded the level accepted by Shangwen, and 3% is Shangwen's psychological bottom line.

Not only that, the economic era of Qin's prosperity and development will be hit hard, and higher taxes will reduce the level of investment. At the same time, Qin is hitting one of Qin's largest market, the Chu market. This is bound to slow down Qin's economy. Qin will drag itself into the quagmire of economic crisis for annexing a country.

Moreover, how the Chu State merged. How to develop, Qin State is still not ready. Although the force has reached this level, the management level has not yet been reached. The war must be a limited war, and it is best to start in a limited area on both sides of the Yangtze River. Moreover, it is only the waters of the Yangtze River.

So, in the end, it will inevitably return to the diplomatic goal. Qin will use economic aid, military strikes, diplomacy and other means to achieve the goal of allowing Chu to open the golden waterway.

This was the strategic plan that Shangwen had prepared in advance, and Shangwen submitted this idea to the General Staff in the form of a memorandum. This is Qin's first memo. This memorandum is the first time that Qin State officially proposed the idea of ​​controlling the golden waterway of the Yangtze River.

And just when Qin's senior officials were preparing to plan for the navy in advance. Qin's artillery technology has made a major breakthrough.

The major breakthrough of the artillery is to solve the serious recoil problem of the artillery. Qin Guo successively solved the problem of artillery materials. Qin State owned cold-rolled steel and hot-rolled steel with high quality and endurance. Cold rolled steel is used for the lining of the artillery, so that the high temperature and high pressure generated by the artillery shell can be effectively controlled.

After the gun body adopts the silk-wound gun body, the tube tight gun body and other technologies. Plus the change in the gun’s charge. Using a more powerful explosive, although only a single base charge, this charge has allowed the artillery to reach an amazing range. Ten miles to twelve miles. This range surpassed all the long-range weapons of Qin State.

But problems also follow. The power of artillery is getting bigger and bigger. The recoil is getting bigger and bigger. If there is no good recoil device, one of Qin's artillery will retreat a long distance after launching, and the accuracy and safety of the launch will also be greatly tested. It is precisely because of the recoil problem that Qin's standard artillery still uses the relatively backward six-inch artillery, but the shells, ammunition packs, and the filling method have been improved, but if the recoil is not solved, Qin cannot have this powerful artillery .

There is always a solution. The first type of steel cannon mounts are used on artillery, but this type of steel mounts can be used to defend fixed fortresses. If it is used for mobile combat, it is obviously not a good choice, because the steel gun mount is very bulky. If it is pulled by a carriage, its speed is very slow. It can be said that the frontline war is over, and this artillery Can't get there. Qin Guo only purchased two to defend Hangu Pass, and never purchased the rest. Because this artillery is too bulky. If it hadn’t been for Hangu Pass to pass the train, the military wouldn’t know how to transport it to Hangu Pass.

The problem will always be solved. Qin's automobile industry began to develop, and automobiles and trains all needed good shock absorbers. Especially for the crawler type, a better shock absorber is needed to solve the driving effect of the crawler type vehicle.

Qin's hydraulic system has made great progress. Not only the laboratories began to use large hydraulic devices to study various substances, but even steel plants began to use electromagnetic devices and large hydraulic systems to lift various steels. These hydraulic systems were first used in tracked vehicles. Since the hydraulic device has such a large endurance, it is used for artillery. The endurance of the artillery can also be compared with it.

So Qin's first flexible gun mount came out. The principle is this, the gun body can slide on the cradle through the guide wheel, the cradle is mounted on the gun frame, and the gun frame is connected with the piston rod in the reentry cylinder. When the gun body is sitting back, the piston compresses the hydraulic oil, so that a part of the hydraulic oil enters the air chamber through a narrow oil valve to compress the air. When the gun body sits to the end, it returns to its original position under the counteraction of compressed air.

In this way, the gun mount problem was solved very well. Qin’s first modern artillery has finally come out.

The advent of this gun gave Qin State a powerful new artillery. The artillery was produced by Wenyang Artillery Factory, and the military modeled it as a 3.520 artillery. This is the artillery produced by King Qin in 20 years. The caliber of the artillery is probably a little more than 80 millimeters now. The artillery range has not been calculated. The reason is that this artillery was quickly used in the Western War. There is no training even as a gunner. For this reason, a large number of technicians compiled a large number of impractical manuals based on the characteristics of the artillery. They told the artillery what to pay attention to in lengthy language. Matters needing attention when the artillery is launched. There are also dangers that artillery may encounter. Five copies of this manual are distributed for each artillery. Because an artillery squad must have at least five people to operate the artillery.

But when this kind of book is released. The artillery was very disgusted with this book. The reason was that it was an inch thick, and pages from the first to the twentieth were all descriptions of artillery parts. From the first page, the artillery can't stand it anymore.
