Shangwen showed Wang Jian bicycles and four-wheeled carriages, and then took Wang Jian to the steam engine workshop, which mainly produced a large number of steam engines. These steam engines will be used in different places, such as trains, ships, machine tools, and textiles.

Shang Wen introduced the application aspects of the steam engine in detail.

"For example, if we use this steam engine on a four-wheeled carriage, we can drive the carriage on its own. But one carriage is more than enough. Therefore, we can drive more carriages. Run with the first car. In this way, more cargo will be pulled. As long as people want, we can load a company of soldiers on the train at a time." Shang Wen gestured.

"Of course, we have to build some tracks for these. By the way, there is this. Shang Wen said, picking up a piece of track. This was originally used as a tractor. It was to install a steam engine on a carriage. For example, but the carriage It's impossible to cross those gully in the field, but with this, we put shoes on it. He can do it. And the off-road performance is excellent." Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Qin, can I see the specific drawings?" Wang Jian interrupted Shang Wen and said.

"Of course, I'll find it for you." Shang Wen said, looking for an overall car model from the workshop table. This is a drawing of a tractor. Shangwen found it and handed it to Wang Jian. Shangwen believes that when making some locomotives or other things, it is also good to make some models. This is very intuitive.

Wang Jian looked at the drawing carefully. There seems to be something in my mind. These Shangwen can't control it. Wang Jian's idea is very simple, he needs a new assault weapon. Because he saw from the large-scale battle of the Musketeers that if the cavalry force rushed, the cost of casualties would definitely not be worthwhile. Moreover, the probability of death is very high. Especially now. After Shang Wen introduced her the number of orders in various countries. Especially after the number of artillery. Wang Jian felt that the impact effect of the cavalry was very insignificant. Wang Jian’s feeling is correct, because in the Napoleonic era, the rapid development of artillery technology had a great impact on the cavalry. Especially after the rifled gun. This long-range musket has had a major impact on the cavalry. If it continues to develop. The appearance of machine guns is more likely to kick the cavalry directly out of the battlefield. Because of his rich experience in northern cavalry combat, Wang Jian made this association.

After visiting from the musket group. Wang Jian wanted to get a new answer from Shangwen, especially technology. Wang Jian has already begun to transition from a traditional Chinese war-seeker to a path of both strategy, tactics and technology. Because only constant new technology can update new tactics and remain in an undefeated position in war. Continuous learning is the way to win an army.

"Mr. Qin. You said, this tractor can climb over the gully?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen replied somewhat incomprehensibly. He didn't know why Wang Jian asked that.

"So how about the speed?" Wang Jian asked.

"Speed, you have to know that if you use a steam engine, the power is so big, it can't be so fast, and it's used in agriculture, so fast. How to harvest. How to plow." Shang Wen was a little puzzled. Reply.

"You mean. There is still room for ascent?" Wang Jian continued.

"Yes." Shang Wen suddenly felt whether Wang Jian had any signs of making tanks.

"If this tractor is equipped with some iron plates. Speed ​​faster. Can the artillery damage us much less." Wang Jian put forward his own opinion.

Oh my goodness. The prototype of this tank. And Wang Jian has already started to think so. My goodness. The tractor hasn't been built yet. The concept of the tank has already been proposed.

"What's wrong. Mr. Qin, I still have a few questions to ask." Wang Jian looked at Shang Wen dumbfounded.

Shang Wen really didn't know why Wang Jian had this idea. This kind of thinking is almost forward-conscious thinking. Because at this time, the musket has not replaced the ice cooler.

What's more, the cavalry still has a certain position to play, why can Wang Jian think of it.

In fact, Wang Jian’s idea is very simple. Wang Jian deeply understands the characteristics of mobile operations. Especially the combat style of the cavalry. When Wang Jian was in the north, he had already begun to explore new styles of cavalry operations, especially when he would fight against the Six Nations in the future. The mobility of the cavalry will be brought out very well, but the appearance of the musket interrupted the innovation of the cavalry combat style. Especially mobile operations. As long as there is a company, keep the formation in danger. Then the impact on the cavalry is very obvious. If the objects of war are the Huns and Hu people. Wang Jian would not care, because they would never get a large number of muskets. But the target is the army of the six countries, they are equipped with this powerful weapon. Wang Jian's initial idea was to put heavy armor on the cavalry, as did the soldiers, but in doing so, the combat power of the cavalry dropped sharply.

Wang Jian gradually concluded that a vehicle with heavy armor was needed. At first he saw a carriage. But the driving force is horses. Horses are unable to defend themselves from muskets. Especially artillery. The carriage can be smashed in one shot.

When Wang Jian saw the tractor, this vague feeling gradually began to surface. The tractor has a strong load capacity and a certain ability to climb ravines. Although the speed is very slow, there is still room for development. The most important thing is that he can wear heavier armors, which have been able to defend against artillery attacks. until.

Thought of this. Wang Jian immediately told Shangwen his thoughts.

What did Wang Jian do. Shang Wen didn't hear a word clearly. But he knows. This is a tank of advanced consciousness. Shangwen originally planned after tractors became popular. However, Wang Jian was born ahead of schedule when he sought to reduce the number of cavalry casualties. Although there is no drawing yet, there is no model to support it. But this concept has been completed.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think?" Wang Jian talked about his own thoughts.

"En. Oh. Very good. Very good." Shang Wen said quickly.

"If you install a cannon, or a shooting hole, then you will be invincible." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, yes. It should be so, it should be so." Wang Jian said.

Shang Wen was thinking about another thing in his mind, that is, what is the technical reserve for manufacturing tanks, especially the walking suspension system. There is also the perfection of the hydraulic system. How to adjust some machine tools for processing.
