The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin State Xianyang. Staff.

"Sir, this is the news we just got. The Koreans exported a new type of weapon to them. According to the news from the news reporters we arranged in Chu State, they sold a batch of rockets to the Zhanpu people. Around 3,000 Palauans who had not seen any rockets were defeated by them all at once. The city of Palau fell suddenly." A staff officer reported to Wang Jian.

"Rockets? Unexpectedly, the Koreans actually mastered rocket technology. This kind of weapon can kill on a large scale, and this has a great impact on us." Yang Duanhe said worriedly.

"In fact, we think that the investigation is unclear. We still don’t know how big the other party’s rocket technology is and how powerful they can produce. In addition, we don’t know the range of the rocket. So, I think this matter, We don't have to draw conclusions quickly yet." Wang Jian said.

"Well. Okay, let's wait and see. But we should be prepared for relevant defenses. If the Koreans have such weapons, our infantry tactics will need to be revised. Most importantly, we have also received them before. Zhao Guo has developed information on organ artillery. The caliber of that artillery is quite large, and it will cost our infantry a lot of casualties. Although Zhao Guo has not mastered the new type of gunpowder technology.” Yang Duanhe is also not clear about smokeless fires. The power of gunpowder, but he knows that it is a new type of gunpowder. This kind of gunpowder can produce a lot of power and promote the rapid advancement of the projectile. This is a brand-new gunpowder. This kind of gunpowder has brought great revolutionary technology. .

"In addition, if they mastered high explosives and made a large number of mines to bury them in the Taihang Mountains and their southern areas, we would not be able to attack by force at all. Should they be able to bomb the opponent's defenses with extremely effective air strikes? I think it seems difficult to do this based on the current technology." Yang Duanhe said.

Faced with the continuous emergence of new weapons, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe continued to modify various plans. For example, the early infantry tactics have become extremely dangerous. The range of soldiers' combat became more and more scattered, because excessive concentration would cause great casualties. Coupled with the rapid improvement in weapon performance and effectiveness, Wang Jian and others had to modify various infantry tactics. The war no longer requires soldiers to become extremely dense. Rather, it requires dispersion. With the addition of long-range artillery, the past tactics have become more and more backward. However, new situations are constantly emerging. For example, the places where Qin's infantry can break through in the past have become more and more difficult.

"According to the data, Zhao people are actively breaking through the design and equipment of machine guns. If such a large number of machine guns are equipped with a large number of machine guns, what will happen? Our soldiers will die in groups. In front of the barbed wire fences they built. The barbed wire fences in the Taihang Mountain defensive area of ​​the Zhao Guoren can already cover the entire Taihang Mountains. Soldiers must do everything possible to break through those barbed wire fences. In addition, the appearance of cement and iron bars can allow Zhao to build a large number of Bunkers, together with the machine gun bunkers formed by these machine guns, I think that one of our divisions is not enough to be killed by them." Yang Duanhe said this with extreme anxiety. Wang Jian also has a deep understanding of this. After all, war is not a child's play, and such a situation has indeed occurred before.

"Qin really needs to modify all the state of war. The addition of war technology has made war more and more difficult to understand. However, we now need to invest in new technology to arm our army. After all, we can't do this again. It's up," Wang Jian said.

Inside the prime minister's house. Inside Shang Wen's office.

"I think it is necessary for us to restrict technology exports. After all, if this continues, Qin's technological advantages will be lost. This situation is very dangerous to develop." Meng Yi said to Shangwen worriedly. Regarding the report from the bottom technical staff, Meng Yi thinks it is necessary for Shang Wen to take a look.

"I think we have done too much in this matter. Or, we are too worried." Shang Wen said disapprovingly.

"Too worried, I don't think so. We are too worried. I think we have not done enough. You must know that this is a very serious technology leakage incident. Technology has always been Qin's advantage." Meng Yi Speaking of.

"It is true, but now the situation has changed a lot." Shang Wen said.

"These technologies can bring a lot of capital investment, but our investment cannot satisfy the development of these small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those who have the technology. Could it be that those who have technology patents cannot use their technology patents? Does it cause them to be poor?" Shang Wen said.

"University, not everyone can get scholarships, and many people are at their own expense. The purpose of studying at university is to show their talents. Such talents require some effort from them. This is the result of their efforts. Technology patents, they get paid in time for the results, but at present, Qin Guo cannot provide them with such sufficient funds to satisfy such compensation, and cannot provide further effective steps for them to complete such a cause. They are unable to provide such sufficient funds for them to meet such compensation. You also need to eat, live well, and spend, otherwise there will be no meaning, and this kind of expenditure will bring progress." Shang Wen said.

"Unless Qin State invests in this way, it is impossible to achieve this. The funds flowed in from other countries mainly enter Qin State in the form of metal currency, but they have more than investment in the financial field. Most of them are technology companies. Because they get one or two technologies, they can get great returns in the future. In this regard, those Zhao people and Koreans are willing to do this, but we cannot meet the domestic demand. At the same time, a large number of The inflow of gold has given us a high gold reserve. When a large amount of gold reserves are used, the effect of Qin's paper money will become greater and greater." Shang Wen said.

"South Korea is developing their trade, especially overseas trade, and Chu is doing the same. In contrast, Korean trade is more extensive. At the same time, Zhao is becoming the largest factory and they can produce what we can Cheap manufacturing machinery, as well as all kinds of machinery and equipment, in this way, we even meet the greatest demand." Shang Wen said.

"However, this situation still cannot satisfy Qin's development. The reason is that Qin has a lot of technology in his hands, and the funds have been transferred to those foreign countries. We need to use our advantages to exchange their advantages. This is the technology transaction. The significance of this." Shang Wen said.

"I think what you said makes sense." Meng Yi nodded and said. What Shang Wen said is indeed a fact. This fact is that Qin does need a large amount of gold reserves to enter. Whether it is Zhao or South Korea, they need technology to allow them to enter a safe technical area, and Qin has such a Technological advantages. Therefore, Qin needs to export such technological advantages to these countries to meet their needs. What Qin gets is the profits in exchange for these countries' trade and production. This is what Shangwen needs to do.

"Okay. This is the case for the time being, but there is another thing that we need to pay attention to. And it's very serious." Meng Yi said to Shangwen solemnly.

"The thing is, our oil reserves and exploitation are serious and good. We need more oil exploration sites. In the narrow and long area of ​​the Hexi Corridor, we found a new oil exploration site, but this It needs to explore a long distance. This may be a technical problem for us at present. However, our oil reserves are indeed not many. This is the situation we are facing." Meng Yi said.

"In other words, we may face a lack of oil in the future?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, I think the probability of this possibility is very high." Meng Yi said.

Shangwen began to think carefully about this matter. The Qin State lacks oil. The first possibility is the lack of Qin's exploration technology and well drilling methods, but this possibility is relatively low, because Qin's technical reserves are not lacking in this point. . The second possibility is that the development of resources is very powerful, and the demand becomes greater and greater, while the second possibility is greater.

In fact, this is exactly what Shang Wen thought. With the large-scale use of steam engines, Zhao, South Korea, Wei, Yan, Chu, and Qi have all begun to use steam engines on a large scale. Zhao and South Korea have been able to produce steam engines, and Wei can produce some Parts, Qi and Chu are actively imitating steam engines. As a result, the wide application of steam engines will become wider, but technology can never be stopped. When steam engines are widely used in various countries, Qin also Actively develop a new generation of power plants, internal combustion engines. As a result, the power of internal combustion engines is increasing, and the demand for oil has become extremely urgent. In addition, other petrochemical products are also in wide demand. Although countries still use kerosene lamps, the demand for candles has also increased. With a large number of carriages, the demand for lubricating oil is also great. In addition, Qin’s internal combustion engine has greatly stimulated oil production, but Oil is not the kind of raw material that can be quickly obtained if you want to produce it. Qin's industry is developing, but the supply of raw materials restricts Qin's development.

"We need a lot of oil, a lot of oil." Meng Yi said. Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi.
