There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 407 Rules of Technology Barriers

In the end, Li Chu spent 200 million to customize five Yangwei ships, a 37mm single-barreled Hotchkiss cannon, and [-] rounds of artillery shells.

Among them, this 37mm single-barreled Hotkiss gun was installed on one of the ships.

There are still 29 Li Chu's customized coins left!
Then there's the fuel for those ships.

Instead of burning gasoline, it burns coal.

Coal is easy to handle. According to the distribution map of mineral resources, Zhoushan, which is not far from Tongzhou, has abundant coal resources. After taking Fangla, people can be sent to Zhoushan to mine coal as fuel for future ships. .

But before that, Li Chu had to spend [-] custom coins to custom buy a large amount of fine coal as fuel supply for ships before they landed in Zhoushan.

After the five cruisers were determined, Li Chu called out the customization interface of Fuchuan again.

Huh, the price has changed?

Li Chu discovered that the customized price of this blessing boat dropped from more than 20 yuan to [-] yuan.

This, this price drop is a bit watery.

Li Chu looked at the sandboat again, and found that the price was even lower, only [-] yuan.

This price is Li Chu's customized price after wrapping it on the iron frame.

In the end, Li Chu ordered 12 more iron-covered sand ships. Due to the large number of orders, the final order price was only [-].

Sand boats are afraid of big waves.

Li Chu didn't intend to put these fifteen sandships into the sailing formation, but they were used to pacify Fangla and enter the inland river.

In addition to adding iron sheets to these sand ships, Li Chu added a ram angle to the front of each sand ship.

After all, customization is not enough!
Li Chu was too lazy to come up with the names of these fifteen sand boats, so he directly gave them code names, such as sand boat-1, sand boat-2...

Anyway, it is used inland, and as more and more technological barriers are broken, a large number of ships of later generations will appear, and these sand ships will be eliminated in a short time.

After this customization, Li Chu understood another rule of the system.

This barrier is not just a one-off break.

It can be done multiple times.

For example, if you get a certain technological item, you can break this barrier, and the customized price of this item will drop, but there is a limit to this decline, but if Li Chu customizes this kind of thing again, it will also lead to this already broken The opening of the barrier, the price will drop by one point, and if more and more such items are customized, the opening will be bigger.

Take tablet computers as an example.

If Li Chu breaks the price through the barrier, and custom buys [-] tablets.

When buying 1000 units, the price is assumed to be [-] million units.

But after [-] units are available, the subsequent customized price may only need a few hundred, or even dozens of customized coins to buy one.

The water for this custom system, is too deep.

Li Chu had already named Tongzhou the name of the five new customized cruisers this time.

Except for the Yangwei that was drawn by the lottery to keep the original name, Li Chu named the following five ships respectively: Shentong, Zhongtong, Yuantong, Huitong and SF Express...

It's a bit of a spoof, but it feels good.

Four eminent monks, plus a Shunfeng.

Among them, the 37mm single-barreled Hotchkiss cannon is installed on SF.

So Shunfeng, Yuantong, Shentong, Zhongtong, Huitong, plus Dingyuan, Yangwei, and Zheng He's treasure ship, together eight giant ships became the foundation of Li Chu's East China Sea Fleet.Fifteen of these sandships were compiled into the Inland Fleet under the name of the East China Sea Fleet.

Kirin Army East China Sea Fleet, this is the name Li Chu gave this naval base.

220 million customized coins, and now only the 16 customized coins are left.

Li Chu decided to keep the 16 in case of emergency.

Now that the naval base is almost built, it is no problem to park warships.

Immediately, Li Chu took out the Dingyuan, Yangwei, Zheng He's treasure ship, the four eminent monks, and Shunfeng, and let the system deliver them, along with fifteen sand ships.

It's just that the heroic soul of 'Deng Shichang' should be injected in a good way, or?

In the end, Li Chu chose the latter and appeared in the form of Deng Shichang's original body.

In terms of image, Li Chu did not modify it, but replaced his original dazzling whip with the hair attire of the Great Song Dynasty.

Let him drive the Dingyuan and return here together.

Looking at the Fuchuan keel in the system storage space, Li Chu also realized one thing.

Some things cannot be customized simply by relying on the customization system. Although they can be customized directly, it will not make much progress for the development of the entire society.

It's time to get a shipyard of your own.

When the time comes to build the ship by yourself, and then customize the ship-building technology and the blueprints of later generations of ships, only then can it provide great help to the technological progress of the entire society. At the same time, Li Chu also has a hunch that if he uses the blueprints to build ships, then the barriers that will be broken will be huge. will be bigger!

On the naval base, the construction work here has been completed, and the civilians have all gone to repair the road.

In such a huge naval base, there is nothing else except a hundred Qilin army guards here.

At this time, Wang Delin, the governor of Tongzhou, came over.

"I have seen the general."

"What's the matter?" Li Chu turned around and asked him. Wang Delin's attire today was different from usual. He usually wore casual clothes, but today he was wearing armor.

"Is this the king's envoy?"

"General, don't you know?"

"Huh?" Li Chu asked puzzled.

Wang Delin shook his head, bowed to Li Chuyi, and then said: "General, the latest news from the south is that Fang La has captured Suzhou yesterday, and Wuxi and Changshu are also in danger. Fortunately, the rebel army The main direction of attack is Wuxi, I am afraid that Wuxi has already fallen into the hands of Fang La at this time."

"So that's the case. I also know about this matter. What's wrong?" Li Chu nodded.

Wang Delin immediately became anxious after seeing Li Chu's unconcerned look. He hurriedly explained: "General, once Wuxi and Changshu are captured by Fang La, Tongzhou and Changshu are only separated by a river. I'm afraid they will rebel by then. The army will come to Tongzhou."

"Get through Tongzhou? No rush."

"How can you not be in a hurry?"

"General Wu is also a sensible person, so he can naturally see the truth in it, why bother."

After seeing through Li Chu's purpose, Wang Delin stopped talking for a moment.

The rebels attacked Tongzhou, which was just his excuse.

He is not stupid, and neither is Fang La.

Although Tongzhou and Changshu follow a big river, why should Fang La beat you to Tongzhou?

It is certain to open up Tongzhou, but not now.

Because Zhu Xi is in Jiangning, Fang La will definitely attack Jiangning first after taking over the Suzhou area, and take down the headquarters of the court in Jiangnan. Fighting Jiangning is Fang La's current top priority. How can he come to Tongzhou at this time?

"General, once Suzhou is broken, Jiangning is also in danger. I wonder when the general is going to send troops?"

Li Chu didn't answer him, but looked towards the sea.

On the surface of the sea, some black spots appeared, as well as the rising black smoke...
