Chapter 424 Advantages and Disadvantages of Steam Chariots

After all, Lin Lianjiang failed to see the power of the steam chariot.

But fortunately, he still witnessed the steam chariot running during the distance when the chariot was transferred to the ship.

I saw the driver sitting in the driving position, with the ignition heating up, and it took a while before the order was given.

"Everyone push hard!"

Lin Lianjiang: "???"

Finally, seven or eight people got up and pushed the chariot, and then the chariot started running wildly.

At the same time, accompanying the racing chariot was naturally the billowing black smoke.

But it didn't matter. Lin Lianjiang, Huang Biehe and others were following behind on pack horses, so they didn't have to worry about falling behind.

Soon, the group finally arrived at the pier, and the chariot gradually slowed down, finally stopping about a hundred steps away from the pier.

Then, everyone in the institute immediately quickened their pace, then took out ropes to connect the chariot and the packhorse.

Lin Lianjiang was somewhat silent: "Old Huang, how do you brake this chariot?"

Huang Biehe: "Simple, gradually reduce the fuel so that it slows down."

"Of course, it's not impossible to put out the fire directly."

"In addition, when it is almost worn out and the steam leakage is almost done, it will naturally stop."

Lin Lianjiang said silently: "Then why don't you shoot a mechanism and just open it to make the water vapor leak out quickly? Can't you stop the car?"

Huang Biehe was suddenly overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Lian Jiang, you are so smart!"

Lin Lianjiang: "..."

"Then what do you mean by using a packhorse to pull a cart?"

Huang Biehe said confidently: "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the car! It's okay if your boat knocks it over. But if the chariot is destroyed, it will be a big problem."

Lin Lianjiang: "......"

Am I going to you!

.................

At the same time, Liu Wu and Cheng Huaiyuan watched the chariot's movement not far away.

Liu Wu: "What do you think of this kind of chariot?"

Cheng Huaiyuan had naturally seen the tank's data a long time ago and knew that this was the original version of the tank.

"The current problem with this chariot is that it is a bit slow, but compared to the battlefields pulled by horses in history, it already has many advantages."

Liu Wu nodded with his jaw in his mouth, "Tell me about it!"

Cheng Huaiyuan: "The first advantage is that this tank is completely sealed. If you want to board the tank, you need to open the door from the back to enter. This greatly reduces the enemy's ability to climb on the tank and attack our soldiers."

"The second advantage is that everything is sealed, so that the enemy cannot use crossbows and the like to attack our soldiers from a distance, but we can rely on bows and crossbows to attack the enemy."

"The third advantage is that it is also completely sealed, leaving only a viewing gap in the driving position, ensuring the safety of the driver."

"The fourth advantage is the use of steam as power, which reduces various problems that may occur to the chariot and warriors after the horses are damaged by the enemy."

"The fifth advantage is that although the chariot wears a lot of damage and moves slower than horses, it is more stable. It is more effective than cavalry in attacking infantry and large military formations."

"And whether it's adding coal or replacing pistons or other parts, the cost is cheaper than raising a horse."

"The sixth advantage is that it is large in size and has a transportation capacity of up to ten stones. If there are more vehicles, not only will the logistics support not require more people, but it will also greatly ensure the safety of the logistics personnel. The efficiency is really terrifying."

Liu Wu nodded, acknowledging these advantages.

"If there are advantages, then there are disadvantages. Let's talk about it!"

Cheng Huaiyuan said: "This is natural. The shortcomings of this chariot are not small."

"The first is that the speed is a bit slow. Although the car is designed to be entered from the back, this does not mean that the enemy cannot forcefully open the door from the back."

"Similarly, when attacking the enemy's military formation at such a speed, you can only attack large military formations. Careful enemies in the military formation can completely dodge without getting hurt."

"The second disadvantage is that the wear required is too high. Worn parts must be replaced almost every hour of running, which greatly reduces efficiency."

"The third disadvantage is that the best fuel is coal. Although coal is not expensive, it is not easy to solve."

"The fourth disadvantage is that the cost is too high. The steel consumed by one vehicle is enough to arm twenty elite soldiers, and five vehicles can arm a hundred people."

"And if there are more of these people, we can ensure that our army is invincible."

"The fifth disadvantage is that the structure is too complex and the construction is too troublesome. It can be said that the time it takes to make one vehicle is enough to cast a large number of armors."

"The sixth shortcoming is that the scope of application is too low. These tanks are more likely to fight on plains, and their use in mountains and hills has become much smaller."

"But this is not a big trouble. After all, where the chariot cannot be deployed, the enemy's military formation and number cannot be deployed, and the cavalry is also greatly weakened. So the disadvantage is not too big."

When Liu Wu heard this, he was thoughtful.

After all, these things are all on the surface, very obvious.

However, he firmly believes that with the advancement of technology, the shortcomings of this car will gradually be reduced, so he believes that Cheng Huaiyuan also understands this.

"Then do you think this battlefield is useful for the decisive battle on the Yilan County battlefield?"

Cheng Huaiyuan nodded: "Yes!"

"Although there are only five chariots, the charge is fierce and invincible."

"At that time, the chariot was used as an arrow, the cavalry followed, and the infantry followed the cavalry. This formed a huge arrow that pierced the enemy."

"In this way, our army will be like five huge arrows, directly dividing and disrupting the enemy's military formation. Then we can take the opportunity to penetrate, surround and annihilate them."

Liu Wu nodded happily, "Yes, that's what I thought. After all, you are in charge of the real cavalry in our army, and you need to cooperate with it most to exert its greatest power."

"I understand," Cheng Huaiyuan saw it very clearly, but his expression was a little downcast and said:

"It's just that with the development of chariots, the cavalry will withdraw from the big stage of the battlefield in the future."

Liu Wu patted him on the shoulder: "Weapons of war must continue to develop in war, otherwise the enemy will rely on technology that is more advanced than ours to crush us. This is terrifying."

"Just like a steam engine, we can put it on a chariot, we can also put it on a ship."

"As a result, not only the war model, but also the transportation model will undergo huge changes in the future."

"It's even possible that in the future we can use steam engines, coupled with other things, to soar into the sky like an eagle."

"In short, we should be pleasantly surprised by technological breakthroughs and developments, and we don't need to be afraid of their future."

"Because, future people will solve it in the future. What we need to solve now is our current matter."

After saying that, Liu Wu looked at the chariot with a faint look in his eyes.

"It turns out that there is a saying that horses are released in Nanshan and swords are forged into plowshares. You said that in the future, people will no longer need to use human power to plow the fields, but will use chariots."

"Do you think that in the future, people will use chariots for sowing, harvesting, and transportation?"

"At that time, we will be able to plant a lot of land, feed a lot of people, and have a lot of food."

"I think it must be a beautiful world."

Cheng Huaiyuan didn't know, but he might as well look into the future like this, and finally sighed:

"If that day comes, people's lives will at least be more beautiful than they are now!"

Liu Wu nodded and agreed:

"Yes, so we have to work hard to make such a world come as soon as possible."
