Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Next, Huang Biehe took Liu Wu to the research institute.

By this time, the institute had also changed drastically.

If nothing else, just next to the pier of the institute, there is a wooden ship without sails, with a tall chimney erected on it, and then it moves forward automatically with billowing black gas.

Looking at the ground again, a long, long car pulling something unknown was running forward quickly.

Liu Wu squinted his eyes, what did he see?

train?

Without waiting for Huang Biehe's explanation, Liu Wu rode his horse quickly to the place where the car just passed by, and then looked at the laid rails.

"hiss........."

What is going on? I don’t need to mention it. The institute has researched the train itself?

Huang Biehe looked at Liu Wu and took a breath of cold air, and directly showed off:

"Aren't you surprised!"

Liu Wu nodded, too surprised!

Huang Biehe was very happy. Liu Wu was rarely surprised, but this time he was very happy.

"When we were studying steam engines, we found that they were not very useful on tanks, so..."

I saw Huang Biehe pointing to the river in the distance, "This thing is too big, so after much deliberation and your suggestion, we put it on the boat."

"Then we thought, since it can be used on ships to replace sails, it can also replace water power and wind power, so we studied it and used it in the ordnance station."

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so useful!"

Speaking of this, Huang Biehe couldn't help but dance, "Then we discovered that this steam engine has many uses, and we are ready to restart the chariot project."

"It's just that we have encountered a new so-called problem, that is, the application scenarios of the tank are too limited, and the road problem is a big trouble."

"No, after thinking about it, we thought of the legendary book "Tongwen" in the book, "Do chariots run on the same track?" We thought about digging a hole so that the chariots could run on the track."

"After our research and experiments, we found that this method is not feasible and has many problems."

“So someone suggested why not turn the track over!”

"This sentence is a direct reminder that after more than a year of testing and research, we have found that making roads out of steel is the best."

Having said this, Huang Biehe's excited expression could not help but diminish a lot.

"Unfortunately, this road consumes too much steel. At the same time, we found that such a tank cannot be used at all."

"Originally, we were about to stop the project, but someone suddenly asked if this thing could be used to pull goods, so we spread it from the dock to the ordnance depot."

"Now, this thing saves a lot of effort and trouble, but it consumes too much, so we can only seal the technology and leave only this path."

Liu Wu nodded when he heard this, "Indeed, our current steel production is not enough to produce such a thing."

In fact, railway trains are not something that ordinary forces can afford, especially in the case of the Han army.

Just like in previous lives, it was not the railways that came first, but the excess steel production capacity after industrialization began, and then the railways were born.

"One day in the future, when our steel production is increasing and we can't use it all, we can start this project again!"

Regarding Liu Wu's sigh, Huang Biehe naturally knew why.

However, Liu Wu reminded: "Actually, if it is possible, this thing would be quite good for traveling to and from mines and docks. You can study it first."

"In the future, if steel production increases, we will not be unable to build it. It will be of strategic significance to be able to attract people, goods and deploy troops quickly."

Huang Biehe nodded at this, "I've written it down!"

Afterwards, Liu Wu visited the institute and watched other research.

The first is the research on steel-making furnaces, which includes too many things and is like a noisy construction site.

It's a pity that the furnace is still not very good, and the quantity and quality of the steel produced are not good either.

I also looked at a lot of mechanical research, including steam looms, steam stamping machines, etc.

It can be said that these machines are all related to steam engines.

Finally, Liu Wu, led by Huang Biehe, came to an extremely tightly guarded place.

"This is the Gunpowder Weapons Research Department!" Huang Biehe explained.

Walking into the Gunpowder Weapons Research Office, the scene here is not as lively as other places.

Also, the things here are not very lively.

Otherwise, with a bang, everyone would fly up on the same spot in a clay plane.

However, Liu Wu began to see many interesting weapons.

"This is an iron casting machine!"

Huang Biehe pointed at something that looked like a cannon and said, "Based on Zhuge Shiba's idea, we made this thing."

"This thing is incredible. It can hit an iron ball weighing several kilograms for more than a thousand steps. It is so powerful."

"But this thing is trash!" However, a researcher muttered in a low voice, obviously looking down on this thing.

Huang Biehe glared at this, and Liu Wu also became interested.

He knew how powerful the artillery was, but this person said it was useless. He didn't know whether speaking arrogantly meant being confident, or just wanting to be shocking.

"Tell me!"

This person was not afraid of the stage, and said directly: "It's not me saying that the big sacrifice wine, Zhuge Shiba's idea is good, but it is unrealistic."

"We have tested and found that it is not impossible to knock out the Thunderous Thunder, but it is possible that it will not explode after being hit, or it will explode directly. It poses too great a threat to our own people, and it cannot hit far."

"As a result, after our experiment, if we want to throw thunder, we might as well do it with a trebuchet."

"After further research, it was found that it is better to fire iron eggs."

"It's just that this thing weighs thousands of kilograms and can't move quickly. We really can't think of any use other than placing it on the city wall."

"This thing, even if you say he is a loser, you are looking down on him!"

Liu Wu squinted his eyes after hearing this, shouldn't this artillery be very powerful, the king of war!

That's it?

But when you think about the fact that most of Jiangnan is a mountain road, it is really difficult to move this thing.

In response, he said: "Have you ever thought about adding wheels to this thing so that animals can drag it?"

The researcher nodded, "Of course it does, but as I said, it's not very useful and it's too heavy."

"In our opinion, this thing is of no use even if it is installed on a city wall. In the future, its use should be on a big ship or a chariot!"

"As for now, waste is waste, and useless is useless."

Obviously, the researcher's venomous tongue reduced the cannon to nothing.

At least at this stage, artillery is really useless to the Han army.

I saw this researcher's demeanor change. He didn't have the attitude that he just said that cannons were useless. Instead, he smiled flatteringly at Liu Wu and said:

"Dajiujiu, we have better weapons here, why don't you take a look? If it is feasible, can you allocate more research materials?"

Liu Wu was not angry, just curious, "Okay, let me take a look!"

Later, the researcher led Liu Wu and his party to an open space where there were three wooden carts.

Seeing this, although Liu Wu had no expression on his face, he took a deep breath in his heart.

What did he see?

Rocket launcher? ? ? ?

Is there such a thing as tactical leaning back?
