Of course, many of the things used for war on the warship used for transportation have been removed. In addition, the materials made of it are also worse, so it looks similar to the warship, but, In fact, such a transport airship is far inferior to a war airship.

There is no way around this. One is that the transport airship needs to transport a large amount of materials and personnel, so it first pays attention to the transportation volume, not the combat power that the war airship pays attention to.

Different needs will inevitably lead to many designs of transport airships, which are completely different from war airships.

However, this also has other benefits.

As we all know, there are a lot of primordial stone cannons, even spirit stone cannons, and other powerful war weapons on the war airship. These things are the main reasons why the price of the war airship is equivalent to sky-high prices.

As for the airship of the transportation nature, because these things are not needed, the manufacturing price is greatly reduced, and many countries can afford it.

The Great Qin Empire, as well as those large countries around them, have built some transport warships, oh no, they should be called transport ships now.

A considerable part of these transport airships are used by these countries to transport military materials.

The territory of these countries is really too wide, like the Great Qin Empire, its territory is as large as more than two dozen China, from east to west, it is as far as 400,000 to 500,000 miles, so far If ordinary means of transportation were used, the troops on the border of the Great Qin Empire would definitely starve to death.

It will take one to two years or even more time to transport such a long distance. No army can bear it for such a long time.

Therefore, how to transport a large amount of military supplements to the army at that time has always been the biggest headache for those countries.

Even, because of this reason, many countries dare not expand after the expansion of their land area to a certain stage.

Because they are worried that such a long distance and the cost of protection will directly drag down the entire country.

Such examples are not without exception, the Great Qin Empire had such an experience before.

When the territory of the Great Qin Empire expanded to about 70,000 to 80,000 miles, the emperor at that time was an ambitious overlord. He did not stop expanding, and continued to expand outward with his army.

only ten years,

More than a dozen small and medium-sized countries were annexed by the Great Qin Empire. In a short time, the territory of the Great Qin Empire expanded to 120,000 to 30,000 miles. It can be said that the Great Qin Empire was the most powerful country among dozens of surrounding countries at that time.

However, such a powerful country was almost wiped out by other countries in the next fifty years.

Why?

The reason is actually very simple. It is too difficult, too difficult to replenish the military supplies of the border army.

At that time, the Great Qin Empire still used carriages and other means of transportation to transport military materials. Even if they used iron-shoe horses or green horses with extremely fast speeds, the speed was still limited, and they It cannot be exercised without sleep like a train.

An iron-shoe horse can only move forward at full speed for four or five hours at most if it is pulling the goods. When the time is up, the iron-shoe horse has to rest, and it will take at least two days to use it again.

Such a means of transportation, such a method of transportation, of course cannot transport materials to the border in a very short time.

Especially at that time, the scope of the Great Qin Empire was 120,000 to 30,000 miles. With such a long distance, even the transportation department of the Great Qin Empire used the method of changing horses instead of carriages, and continuously transporting supplies to the border. It will take at least half a year to deliver the materials to the army.

It took more than half a year to transport the supplies to the army. With such a transport efficiency, how much combat power will the army have.

In addition, such a transportation method can be said to come every other month, plus the consumption and expenses of the transportation team on the road for more than half a year, hehe, in a powerful empire, it can't afford such a consumption that is equivalent to a bottomless pit .

This is still a time of peace. If it comes to wartime, hehe, such a consumption will increase several times, even dozens of times. How can the Great Qin Empire afford such a large consumption.

I believe that even if it is replaced by the current United States, it cannot afford such a huge consumption.

It was for this reason that the Great Qin Empire entered a century of melee, and was almost wiped out by dozens of surrounding countries.

Fortunately, at that time, a talented craftsman in the Great Qin Empire created the war flying boat.

The Great Qin Empire was rich in all directions, and the cost of manufacturing warships was high. However, the Great Qin Empire was still able to persist through gritted teeth. Moreover, it was a time of war, so no one cared about the high cost of manufacturing warships. As long as they could defeat the enemy, No matter how big the consumption was, the Great Qin Empire would not hesitate.

In this way, a steady stream of warships were created. In the end, the Great Qin Empire not only repelled the siege of dozens of surrounding countries, but even counterattacked back in the end, not only taking back the previous territory, but also destroying the surrounding land. More than a dozen countries have expanded the territory to a size of 160,000 to 70,000 miles.

However, this time the Great Qin Empire did not expand its territory blindly, but guarded it carefully until it completely digested these territories, and then peeked at the surrounding territories.

In addition, this time's century-old melee has completely made the War Flying Ship famous all over the world, and the Great Qin Empire has taken a fancy to its powerful transportation capabilities.

The speed of the war flying boat is extremely fast. If it is the fastest, it is similar to the speed of the current combat power. With a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour, the distance of hundreds of thousands of miles is no longer a natural barrier.

Coupled with the fact that the war airship can carry thousands of tons or even more supplies, the Great Qin Empire made up its mind to establish a strategic//sexual///transportation force using the war airship as a means of transportation.

However, the manufacturing price of a war flying boat is really too high. If the transportation flying boats of the Great Qin Empire were all war flying boats, then the Great Qin Empire would not be able to afford it.

So, very quickly, those talented refiners of the Great Qin Empire immediately improved the war airship, removed the war weapons on it, expanded the space, and created a speed half slower than the war airship, but the transportation volume It directly reached the strategic//sexual//transportation airship of three or four thousand tons.

With such a powerful strategic//sexual// transport flying boat, the army of the Great Qin Empire no longer has to worry about the lack of supplies, nor the continuous extension and expansion of the front line, because no matter how far the distance is, the Great Qin Empire can show it in time Send up the supplies.

It is precisely by relying on these transport flying boats that the Great Qin Empire became stronger and stronger. In the next few thousand years, it directly annexed forty or fifty countries around it, making its territory reach the current 500,000 miles. absolute power.

As the national strength of the Great Qin Empire continued to grow, the transportation flying boats that used to belong only to the army were now gradually used by the Great Qin Empire for private transportation.

Someone here asked, since the transport airship is so powerful, why doesn't the state of Chu where Lin Ze is now have such a transport airship?

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the blockade of a powerful country like the Great Qin Empire, and the fact that Chu State itself is not in urgent need of such a transport flying boat.

Compared with the Great Qin Empire, the territory of the Chu State is really far behind. From east to west, that is, a range of about 14,000 to 5,000 miles. For such a range, it is enough to use iron-shoe horses and other transportation.

In addition, although the manufacturing price of the transportation flying boat is much lower than that of the war flying boat, this price is not affordable by ordinary people. The royal family of Chu State can afford such a price, but at most they can buy it. It looks like four or five ships, and if there are more, they will not be able to afford it.

Four or five transportation airships, hehe, how could such a number bear the transportation of supplies for the Chu State's millions of troops.

In the end, the royal family of Chu State did not buy many transportation flying boats, it was for their own safety and the needs of the royal family's rights.

As we all know, the transport airship is actually an improvement of the war airship. Many of the facilities in it are actually exactly the same as the war airship, except that the war weapons are kicked out. However, there is still room for installation.

In this way, once someone with a heart prepares those weapons, and then directly modifies the transport airship, then this transport airship will immediately become a war airship with explosive combat power.

It doesn't matter if a transport airship enters Kyoto, but if a transport airship that has been refitted and has a combat effectiveness comparable to a war airship enters Kyoto, what impact will it have? !

As long as this caring person seizes the time to go to court, and rides the warship to the palace, hehe, when the time comes, the whole court of Chu State will be destroyed by the warship.

The court of Chu State, including the emperor, is not very strong. Except for those top generals and the priests in the palace, their strength is below that of the master, and even most of the civil servants are below the acquired strength.

Such strength, how to block the attack of the war flying boat.

Such an example has not appeared before.

Such things happened in the Later Tang Kingdom around the Chu Kingdom.

Three hundred years ago, the strength of the Later Tang Kingdom increased greatly, and there was an emperor with the heart of a hegemon, so he directly purchased dozens of transport flying boats.

It's a pity that just when the emperor of the Later Tang Kingdom had carefully prepared for ten years and was about to expand outwards, the Chu Kingdom and the surrounding countries secretly united with the fifth son of the Emperor of the Later Tang Kingdom, a guy with great ambitions. Make a covenant and do your best to help him ascend the throne.
