Chapter 182 Mechanical Chariot
Chen Hai naturally believed that the transformation of the mechanism wooden ox can be more practical and effective, so he took the time to disassemble and study it.
In fact, Yanzhou's mechanism, weapon refining and talisman science are so developed that the wind array box can replace the engine. It can completely create a powerful self-driven mechanism chariot that is no less than heavy tanks to charge and rush into the formation. It should not continue to rely on the traction of animal power.
The mechanism war beasts are not practical enough, but will the mechanism war chariots transformed on the basis of the mechanism war beasts be stronger and more effective in the battlefield?
However, at this time, the craftsman in the baggage camp was no longer the direct line trained by Chen Hai in the Pharmacist Garden. His idea of transforming combat equipment has leaked enough in the training record, so he naturally did not want to leak more things out.
However, to accurately draw the parts of the machine wooden cow into drawings, we still need to find these craftsmen out to help.
In the middle of the night, Chen Hai squatted in the yard and looked at these machine spring parts. Su Ling couldn't understand what these things were easy to study, but she didn't know that Chen Hai was thinking of a deeper problem.
Yanzhou is a world where the strong are respected. The separation between the Zongjiao and the civilian class is extremely serious. Chen Hai can see through a lot from the manufacturing of different parts of this mechanical wooden cow.
The core wind array box that refines the wind talisman array must be made by a weapon refiner with a strong foundation in cultivation.
Not to mention the core wind-controlling talisman array inside, even the outer casing is made of high-quality fine black iron, and there is no trace of loss at this time.
However, other spring components are all from ordinary craftsmen and craftsmen. The materials are already good, but they are just ordinary fine-wrought iron, which lacks the necessary lubrication and buffering, and will wear out after traveling thousands of miles.
Chen Hai knew on earth that if a finely made object is to improve the overall life of a sophisticated utensil, the quality of core components must be strictly required; corresponding to the machine wooden cow, the wind array box is the core component, but the importance of many machine spring components cannot be ignored.
In fact, as long as the part of the fine-grained black iron used in the wind array box is melted with the fine-grained iron into a higher-strength precise-grained gold quenching iron, the overall durability of the mechanical wooden cow can be increased by dozens or even dozens of times.
This is simple, but it is essential to clear the gap between the weapon refiner and the craftsman in order to make the superior weapon refiner willing to work together with the lowest level of craftsman.
The wind array case and the machine spring are stronger than ordinary mules and horses, but it is still impossible to compare with the excellent beast riding like Qingjing Horse.
Military officers and generals from the clan family did not cherish the lives of the lower-level generals. They were accustomed to selecting fierce soldiers through the cruel elimination of bloody wars. The elite combat powers selected, such as Taoist soldiers, clans and sects, were more willing to raise powerful war beasts and ride beasts for equipment rather than large-scale war equipment.
Even though the most elite Taoist soldiers in the Hexi Protectorate have already equipped defensive chariots in batches, they are all valuable products that have been refined into defensive magic circles. Hexi itself has enough advanced riding beasts such as Qingjing Horse to pull the chariots, and the wind array box is traction weaker.
Therefore, except for some small and excellent warships, Chen Hai could still see the use of the water-controlled talisman array, on the land battlefield, there are no wind array boxes or other mechanism-driven chariots that have appeared.
Of course, as a substitute, the formation restrictions that can be refined are quite simple. Fortunately, the wind-controlled talisman array inside the wind array box is also quite simple. With Chen Hai's attainment in refining weapons at this time, he can only refine the most basic talisman array.
What's more, the first machine-based combat chariot, as a test piece or a prototype, was a little clumsy or even ugly, and Chen Hai was not afraid that a few blood slaves would laugh at him.
After a month, Chen Hai and Yao Laogen and eight blood slaves finally built the first test-tested machine chariot.
The first generation of self-driven machinery chariots are naturally extremely clumsy, and they slowly advance in the depths of the bumpy rift valley, like turtles, shaft wheels, and cabin bodies are also quite simple, and they seem to fall apart at any time.
The iron-cast car body is too heavy, and it is impossible to ship more goods, and it is not practical, but Chen Hai's excitement is really indescribable.
The manpower in the Blood Cloud Wasteland is still too limited. Blood slaves such as Yao Laogen are really smart and studious. After all, they are not real craftsmen. However, Chen Hai knew that this set of prototype machine chariots would be used as the primary machine chariots he expected to be used to charge on the battlefield.
************************
As the chief general of more than 30,000 brave soldiers, Chen Hai was qualified to completely block his study with a restriction to prevent others from spying on the secrets. Therefore, in the Xiling Camp of Leiyang Valley, he could also unscrupulously sneak into the blood cloud wasteland through the snake bracelet.
Although Su Ling served Chen Hai all day long, she saw that Chen Hai was locked in the study room and wrote and painted, or closed his eyes cross-legged to comprehend martial arts.
The hand-drawn drawings that Chen Hai now and the experiences he wrote as drafts will be burned to ashes, without giving Su Ling a chance to touch her.
Chen Hai was sure to build a chariot, but when he was hesitating whether to use the craftsmen from the Taohuawu casting yard to officially build a chariot, it was already mid-February of Emperor Yitian.
At this time, the hungry people gathered in Tongbei Prefecture once again broke out in chaos, and tens of thousands of people gathered to impact the construction of the Tongbei Dacang, which was to store military food and supplies in Xiyuan, only after the New Year.
Chen Hai was closest to Tongbei Okura and was ordered to suppress it as soon as possible.
Chen Hai was not sure if anyone instigated the Red Eyebrow Sect behind the scenes, but the hungry people who attacked Tongbei Okura this time were really pale and thin and had ragged clothes. No matter how ruthless Chen Hai was, he couldn't bear to make up his mind, but he just dispelled the matter.
By this time, many ministers in the court may have realized that it would be meaningless to continue to clean the refugee and rebels in bloody manner. The famine cannot be resolved, and the bloody purification will only make the Red Eyebrow Cult more and more powerful.
Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun also formally wrote a letter to the Taiwei Mansion in Tongbei to request disaster victims.
In mid-February, the Taiwei Mansion issued a talisman edict, agreeing to distribute part of the grain to provide relief to the hungry people on the northern foot of Qintong Mountain.
