When Qu Mao saw the rapid development of civilian technology, he had to convene relevant scientific researchers to discuss the development of military technology.
In fact, in the past five years, the military science and technology in Yidi's territory has also been developing with each passing day. Not to mention anything else, Qu Mao's research and development bonuses for the achievements in the field of military science and technology have exceeded 3 million pieces gold.
From the late July of the 21st day of Tianxuan, when the Yidi Territory held a coping strategy meeting, it has been determined to vigorously develop military technology.
Stimulated by this policy, in March of the 22nd year of Tianxuan, the United Islands Flight Research Institute completed the research and development task of the tracked steel tank. However, when Qu Mao accepted the results at that time, he thought that the tracked steel tank The individual is really too big, and the fuel used is a new fuel called diesel oil extracted from petroleum crude oil. The reserve of Yidi territory is not sufficient, so at that time, a suggestion for narrative optimization was given, and it was not strongly recommended to be listed. army.
On the contrary, Zhao Pan heard that the steel chariot was successfully developed, so he ran back to the Holy Land three times in a row, and every time he came back, he wandered around the nearly one million-ton body of the prototype car.
And emphasized more than once: such a huge monster, even if it is not equipped with any weapons, if it is put on the battlefield, it can kill tens of thousands of enemy soldiers just by crushing it.
However, Qu Mao knew very well that the actual combat significance of this prototype car was not great. It is estimated that as soon as it barely drove onto the battlefield, it would be stuck on the ground of the battlefield and could not move. In addition, there were no melee weapons, so it might not be able to do anything other than frighten the enemy. any substantive effect.
Since March of the 22nd year of Tianxuan, the steel chariot project has been separated from the United Islands Flight Research Institute, and the newly established chariot research institute has carried out follow-up optimization and research and development, and the frequency is almost half a year, constantly Introduce the old and bring forth the new.
All in all, among all the military scientific research projects in Yidi's territory, the steel chariot project should be the one with the longest continuous research and development time. It should have been established together with the iron-clad ships. There are more than a few hundred ships, and the steel chariot has only released a first-generation version.
However, the steel chariot has been developed for so long, and there are some advantages. After all, together with the iron-clad shipyard, Yidi Territory has built more than a dozen steel chariot production bases along the coast of the Eastern Continent. Even though Yidi Territory has developed rapidly in recent years However, the production of steel chariots has not started yet, but the production bases of more than a dozen steel chariots have not been used for other purposes.
Zhao Pan returned to the Holy Land three times, and also approached Qu Mao privately three times, hoping that Qu Mao could put the steel chariot into the army as soon as possible.
However, Qu Mao rejected Zhao Pan's request three times on the grounds that steel chariots were not of practical significance. It is just to accumulate production experience after optimization for future steel chariots.
And Qu Mao also comforted Zhao Pan. After all, the steel chariot project has been developed for more than ten years, and even more than ten years can be waited, and he doesn't care about the one or two years in the final optimization stage.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of research and development of the steel chariot, the research on firearms and artillery has come to the forefront. Although the steel chariot prototype with a self-weight of one million tons is crawler-type, the main gun it carries is only a cannon. Mutant, which made Qu Mao feel that the firepower was a bit behind.
It wasn't until the 25th year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan that Qu Mao saw the sixth-generation steel tank that was barely capable of combat. Only then did Qu Mao allow more than a dozen steel tank production bases to produce steel tanks at full capacity. Vehicles, while producing and training steel chariot control fighters, while forming steel chariot troops, and continuously optimizing the steel chariot project.
As for the rubber-tyred steel battlefield simultaneously launched by the United Islands Fighting Vehicle Research Institute, Qu Mao directly requested to remove the five-ton main gun and other firepower systems and turn it into a purely armored transport vehicle.
After Zhao Pan held the year-end summary meeting for the 25th year of Tianxuan, he knew Qu Mao's order about the steel chariot, and he didn't even want to go back to the battlefield. The progress of loading the army, that's right, Qu Mao requested two models of steel chariots. Once they are produced, the army will be deployed first.
At the beginning of the 26th year of Tianxuan, the prisoners of war among Xinshou Village's god-chosen players who learned that the steel chariot had been put into production immediately began to boil. Published three articles on military motorcycles and civilian motorcycles.
A large number of prisoners of war from the Chosen players said: The era of automobiles is coming, and the territory of Yidi must prepare for oil exploration in advance.
Qu Mao naturally knows that there is still a long way to go to further reduce the engine on the steel chariot to be able to be mounted on a motorcycle. The pattern of technological crushing has been formed, so Qu Mao still gave Xinshou Village a reward of 100,000 gold coins in the past, encouraging the god-chosen players and prisoners of war in Xinshou Village to assist the scientific research workers in Yidi's territory to further develop military three-wheeled motorcycles .
After all, most places on the Continent for Hegemony are still very primitive. There are no concrete roads at all. The steel chariots are not likely to be used to a particularly large extent. On the contrary, they are not as light and dexterous as military motorcycles.
After Zhao Pan heard that there were still military motorcycles, he immediately ran to Xinshou Village and stayed for two full weeks before returning to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi. A bounty of 20,000 gold coins has been added.
And the gossip from the editorial department of "Another World" said: Regarding the manufacturing of military motorcycles, the editorial department of "Another World" received dozens of submissions in a very short period of time.
The military technology of Emperor Yi's territory can now crush the power of any other God's Chosen players on the Continent, but it must continue to maintain this advantage.
Therefore, Qu Mao is very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the prisoners of war from the players of the Gods of Novice Village.
Of course, with the increase in income in Xinshou Village, many god-chosen players and prisoners of war have set up independent research laboratories. Anyway, Qu Mao will allow them to purchase materials related to scientific research as long as they board the plane, and Qu Mao will also give them the results of their research and development. Gold coins are rewarded, and the results are purchased, so Xinshou Village is the area where the most technological products are used in Yidi Territory.
