Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 852 852A glorious era

After various countries learned about the existence of weapons and equipment such as submarines, they began corresponding experiments: this thing is much easier to understand than metaphysical radio waves. At least if you think about it, you can understand part of the principle.

 There are actually many “smart people” in various countries. They had never thought of such a thing as a submarine before, because of the limitations of their thinking. Now that Tang Guo had brought out the submarine, they opened their minds and could naturally make a rough guess.

 Metal cannot float on the sea. The reason why ironclad battleships can float on the water is because there is air in the cabin. Only part of the air needs to be removed, and the steel can sink into the water. The principle is not complicated.

 So these countries have built their own submarine prototypes to verify the feasibility of diving: after repeated experiments, they have all succeeded.

 It’s just that, like the early submarines on Earth, these experimental submarines have strange shapes and single functions, and are basically just experimental products.

Most of these experimental submarines don’t even have compartments: water is put directly into the submarine without any consideration of how to drain and float it.

In the experimental stage, cables and the like were used to pull the submersible out of the water, but this is obviously not possible in actual combat.

 Some countries have thought of setting up a water bladder in the submarine to hold the seawater, and then using an engine to drive the mechanism to push the water out.

The crude and primitive experimental submarines were obviously of no value, because until two years after the end of the war, none of the toy submarines produced by various countries could dive, rise, and operate normally under non-experimental conditions.

These big toys don’t know how to get periscopes, and of course they don’t even know there is such equipment as sonar. Therefore, how submarines travel underwater is also a mystery to all countries.

In addition, their experimental submarines cannot carry torpedoes. The best experimental result was to hang two torpedoes on the outside of the submarine, just like fighter jets carrying missiles... In this state, they cannot sail far and cannot be used in actual combat at all.

According to their guesses step by step, it is estimated that when submarine technology is perfected to the point where it can be used for combat, the destroyers of the Tang Empire will be equipped with anti-submarine missiles.

 In desperation, all countries finally returned to the most realistic route: save money, then haggle the price, and honestly buy the relevant technology from the Tang State.

 For the decision-makers of these empires, the idea that it is better to build than to buy, and to buy than to rent has become more and more popular.

 For the Tang Empire, creativity is wealth! For the Tang Dynasty, this was a glorious era, an extremely glorious era.

Historians of later generations were all shocked when they compiled the information of this era, because behind every noun of this era, there seemed to be a shadow of the pride of the Tang people.

It is no exaggeration to say that this era was started by the Tang State, so the Tang State will shine in this era. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Mo was destined to be the protagonist of the real stage.

In the first year of the Tang Empire, the Tang Dynasty restored the Bunas World Exposition, changed its name to the Tang Expo, and held it in Linshui. The entire expo is ten times the size of the Bunas Expo! The number of exhibitors has set a new world record.

 In the same year, the Tang Empire held the real Football World Cup (previous editions had a limited number of participating teams and were smaller in scale), and the Datang Empire achieved its best result in history: the quarterfinals.

 It was also this year that the Automobile Group, a subsidiary of Datang Group, swept the teams from other countries in the World Automobile Championship, taking the top three places.

In this year, many of the world's firsts were taken into the hands of the Tang State: the world's first actually equipped tactical ballistic missile, the world's first actually equipped long-range ballistic missile, the world's first experimental launch rocket .

In the second year of the Tang Empire, mass production of the world's first jet fighter began. This was also the world's first supersonic aircraft.

 In the same year, the world's first helicopter was equipped with troops, and on the same day, the first double-rotor helicopter was also put into use.

At the beginning of the second year of the Tang Dynasty, the Datang Navy began testing the first new submarine with a higher underwater speed than the surface speed. This also marked the beginning of the new submarine replacing the old U-shaped submarine.

After more than a year of hard work, a super railway transportation line running from east to west appeared on the world map: this railway line extends eastward from Qin’s Western Wall Defense Line, passing through Wuyang City, the capital of Qin, and connecting all the way to Qin Guodong focused on the town of Guangmian.

After passing Guangmian, the railway entered the territory of the Dahua Empire, passed through the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire, and finally connected to Fengjiang. Entering the hinterland of the Tang Empire from Fengjiang, passing through Sishui to Chang'an, and then passing through Chang'an all the way to Linshui.

 The entire railway is thousands of kilometers long, with numerous branch lines. Within the territory of the Tang Empire, it also connected the important towns of Xicong and Tongcheng, and connected with Nanye from Chang'an in the north, all the way to Beiyuan City.

 Such a huge project was completed in just over a year, which is simply a miracle: in fact, it connected the old railways in various countries together, and was not built directly from scratch.

Even so, this is already the most spectacular miracle in the history of the world: with this railway, it only takes 70 hours at the fastest to deliver goods near the water to Qin. In the past, this was simply unimaginable speed, and people’s travel has become more convenient and faster. Unknowingly, people's living conditions have been completely changed by Tang's technology.

You should know that taking the train is no longer the fastest travel option. If you have money, it only takes more than 20 hours to fly from Qin to Tang.

 At this time, the flight range of the aircraft was not that long, and it was necessary to stop for refueling halfway. So it still takes a little longer.

But this speed is shocking enough. If a Qin official wants to go on a mission to Tang, he can see the Tang official he wants to see in Chang'an the next day!

Such fast communication improves efficiency. As long as you have money, you can enjoy such efficient transportation convenience, which has benefited many people.

Now if you want to research the market and understand the situation, you don’t need to send people to and from the destination so strenuously. You only need to take a plane or train to get first-hand local information within a few days.

 In addition to the construction of railways and airports, Tang also established a relatively complete medical system in the second year of the empire.

This system directly increased the average age of the population of the Tang Empire by more than 10 years, which was equivalent to extending each person's working time by at least 3 years.

In the same year, the improved seeds developed by the Tang Dynasty began to become popular, and the output of grain and crops in the Tang Dynasty increased significantly.

This marks that the world's agricultural development has entered another stage, and the worldwide food shortage problem will be truly alleviated.

After summarizing, thoughtful people discovered that Tang Mo had all four areas related to an empire within two years of the Tang Dynasty being promoted to an empire.

 The "money bag" is in the hands of Princess Alice of Tang Mo. She controls the economy of the empire and can even affect the world economy and trade.

The entire financial circle of the Tang Empire run by Simone and Fankermes has kidnapped the entire world and has greater influence than the Lighthouse State on the earth.

 The "barrel of the gun" is directly controlled by Tang Mo himself. His generals are loyal to him, and Tang Mo's influence is echoed in the army.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Mo ordered his army to do anything without any objection, and... his army can defeat any enemy and accomplish anything!

 The "pen" was gradually handed over to the imperial concubine Le'er. This seemingly harmless cat-eared lady now has unprecedented influence in the cultural field.

The overwhelming output of cultural propaganda has packaged the Tang State as the savior of the world. Everything in the Tang State is good, and all voices that oppose the Tang State are the whispers of the devil.

 The "rice spoon" was something Roger had always been worried about in the Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, this hard-working old man was loyal to Tang Mo.

 With Roger focusing on agricultural cultivation, the empire's fundamentals are as stable as a rock. As long as there are no problems with food and crops, the Tang State will be equally unbreakable.

 "Gun barrels", "money bags", "rice spoons", "pen barrels", plus layers of intelligence departments... Tang Mo's control over the Tang Empire is definitely far greater than that of any other country.

There has never been a country where a monarch could truly "gather all the power of the world in one person" like Tang Mo. There has never been an emperor who dared to say that he could speak the truth in his own country.

Tang Mo did it. He can even tell the truth about other countries! He sits on the throne in the Forbidden City, and every word he speaks will make the person involved seriously consider his opinion.

The power of the monarchs of other countries must be partly divided by the prime minister and divided among various nobles. The opinions of the monarchs of other countries must always be considered, and they may even be influenced by merchants and landlords.

They were already accustomed to compromise on the day they ascended the throne and became emperor, compromising with the aristocracy, compromising with merchants and landlords...

There has never been anyone like Tang Mo who completely eliminated the landlord class, destroyed the old aristocratic class, blocked and killed gods along the way, and finally created a bright world and an enduring foundation.

 But they didn’t have the guts to imitate Tang Mo, and they didn’t even have similar thoughts, and they didn’t dare to have them. Because they were able to sit in that position relying on the support of the nobles.

 For them, the sources of evil that Tang Mo drove out and killed are their natural allies. The stumbling block on the way forward that Tang Mo discarded like worn out shoes was the cornerstone of their empire's existence.

 So, they are not from the same group as Tang Mo.

It's not that they don't want to kill Tang Mo, but they don't have the guts - just like they don't have the guts to imitate Tang Mo.
