Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After seeing the progress of the steam engine project, Li Zhe became more certain about the future of the society under his leadership. In just two years, the productivity of the Three Kingdoms time and space society has spanned 1,500 years and entered the age of steam engines. Its development speed is real.  It¡¯s staggering!

    Although compared with Great Britain in the early industrial revolution of the 17th century, Li Zhe's country is still far inferior in terms of technological quality. Most of the explosions of industrial technology are completely copycat products, and the scientific and technological progress of the entire society has not reached the same level.  level, but even so, the social scene of working fast and getting ahead uniquely in industrial society is still terrifying.

    The future Ming Empire will be a special society destined to surpass all social development laws in history.  If science and technology continues to evolve at this speed, even Li Zhe himself cannot imagine the huge energy produced in the explosion of productivity caused by its unconventional development.

    But even so, until now, the energy of the social progress brought about by the explosion of scientific and technological knowledge he released in the early stage has not even been released at all, and is only in the prelude period.

    The cutting-edge science and technology books he published in important scientific research sites such as Tiandao Grand Library, Taixue University and the Trade Union Engineering Academy have reached the high school textbook stage. Many of the books in them include analytic geometry, algebra, physics, biology and organic chemistry, etc.  They have not yet been thoroughly understood and entered the laboratory.  Not to mention its popularity in society, knowledge such as calculus is still the exclusive preserve of a very small number of elites.  But even so, the drastic changes social progress has brought to society are already frightening.

    As the only explicit science in society at present, Tiandaoxue has a religious value that far exceeds the significance of explicit studies in traditional society, making it quickly become the core of a society's spiritual beliefs. It is so attractive to people in society that it is invisible.  Among them, the production life and spiritual life of countless people are involved.

    This allows scientific and technological progress itself to obtain the greatest input from the overall spiritual power of a society and the maximum allocation of social intellectual resources, which invisibly greatly accelerates the speed of scientific and technological progress and the depth and breadth of its spread in society.

    In history, no country has ever had such a social trend!

    Sometimes Li Zhe even thinks about suppressing it, suppressing it, and not allowing it to develop too quickly. There are many examples of social harm caused by encouraging people's growth in history, and Li Zhe is also very worried.

    But it is obvious that once the general trend of society itself is formed, it cannot be forcibly changed.  Even Li Zhe couldn't do anything about it.  We can only watch helplessly, as this society is like a wild horse, galloping in an unpredictable direction!

    ¡­¡­

    August 202,

    "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Look! What a beautiful grassland!"

    The childish voice awakened Li Zhe from his deep thoughts.

    Is this the time?

    Li Zhe tightened his down jacket to isolate the coldness of the grassland from his body. He leaned out of the hatch and tried his best to look down.

    Grassland!  It really is a grassland, with endless green as far as the eye can see. Under the green background, the white ones are sheep, and the brown ones are cattle and horses, grazing carefree!  As far as the eye can see, you can even hear their chirping and playing in your ears!

    What a beautiful and peaceful grassland!

    It¡¯s a pity that Li Zhe¡¯s purpose of coming this time is to spread the plague!

    Li Zhe is currently flying at an altitude of 800 meters above the ground, with the vast Xianbei prairie beneath his feet!  The vehicle you are traveling on is a giant helium airship obtained from special channels in modern time and space!

    This is another cheating tool obtained by Li Zhe using the space-time system, specifically to speed up the war process.

    The Xianbei people, just like the Huns back then, relied on the grasslands, had full stamina, and had almost unlimited resilience.  With the current military strength of Li Zhe's army, although they can be defeated, if they want to completely conquer the grassland, the process of this war must be extremely long.  Just like the Hundred Years War between the Han and the Xiongnu, it would have been difficult for the Han army to defeat a huge steppe empire like the Xiongnu without a long-term economic blockade and continuous military attacks.

    The vast prairie is the perfect strategic depth for the Xianbei people, enough for the prairie people to use their best maneuver tactics of large roundabouts and deep depth.  With the military power and mobility that Li Zhejun currently possesses, he can basically carry out a devastating blow to him. Mobile warfare on the grassland is enough to make this war protracted and difficult to achieve results.  Moreover, the long logistical road ahead for the army's expedition to the grasslands will still be a disaster-like burden for the newly born Li Zhe regime!

    Victory is inevitable, but it will also take a long time and may be difficult to achieve.?National power!  No matter how you look at it, it is a bad deal!

    However, the Xianbei people must be eliminated, and they must be eliminated in a short period of time, because Li Zhe cannot bear that his industrial process will be interrupted by the continuous military harassment of the grassland peoples, and even small-scale and short-term harassment is not allowed.  .  Around the rising Ming Empire, there could only be one regime in the form of a central court, and other ethnic minorities could only choose to surrender and wait for the fate of being slowly assimilated!

    This is the sadness that every rise of the central empire in history brings to the living environment of surrounding ethnic minorities!  It is also an inevitable fate caused by the unified geographical environment!

    Therefore, after careful selection, Li Zhe adopted an alternative low-cost biochemical warfare and adopted vicious methods such as horse plague!  Fundamentally attack the Xianbei people¡¯s ability to survive!

    Horse plague, as the name suggests, is a malignant disease transmitted to horses!

    After consideration, Li Zhe selected three virus samples obtained from modern laboratories from the wide range of modern equine infectious diseases!

    The first is equine influenza, an acute and highly contagious infectious disease in horses of the genus caused by type A influenza virus.  It occurs frequently from late autumn to early spring and is only infected in animals of the genus Equus.  The second type is equine bubonic disease, an acute contact infectious disease of equine animals caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi. It mostly occurs in spring and autumn and other seasons. Equine animals are susceptible, with horses being the most susceptible, followed by mules and donkeys.  Of.  The third type is equine nasal pneumonia, an acute febrile infectious disease in equine animals caused by equine herpesvirus types 1 and 4.  It is generally endemic and only affects animals of the genus Equus, most commonly in horses aged 1 to 2 years old.

    These three viruses are all infectious diseases exclusive to equine animals. They all have targeted vaccines and treatment and control methods in modern time and space. Li Zhe has already obtained a large amount of reserves from modern time and space, and trained a large number of medical personnel to prepare.  , the entire Han border land has been quarantined for epidemic prevention, and all the livestock on one's side have been vaccinated, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the enemy!

    It is early August, and it is still a time of crisp autumn air. According to the season, now is the best time for the horses on the grassland to reserve fat and prepare for the winter. The horses have a large range of activities, which will greatly increase the transmission efficiency of horse plague.  Horse plague will cause horses to be infected with the disease and die quickly in large numbers, thus fundamentally weakening the Xianbei people's ability to fight and survive!

    What would the life of Xianbei people be like without horses?

    That would be a complete disaster!

    The Xianbei people¡¯s combat effectiveness comes almost entirely from their war horses. Without war horses, they lose the ability to make large detours and maneuvers, so they can fight on foot. How do the Xianbei people want to compete with the Han people?  That's almost impossible.  When it comes to actual infantry combat, not to mention that the Han soldiers are dozens or hundreds of times more powerful, with endless long-range weapons and infinitely better steel armors. The difference is that they are different from what many modern people imagine. Just say that they are the same and hold the same weapons.  In hand-to-hand combat with swords, the grassland people of this era were even worse than the people of the Han Dynasty!

    During this period, the harsh living environment of the grasslands and the relatively low productivity meant that the physical constitution of the grassland people was no stronger than that of the Han people. The saying that one Han acted as the five barbarians during the Han Dynasty was not entirely false!  Therefore, the lack of horses is a qualitative blow to Xianbei's fighting ability, and will cause Xianbei people to become completely sick men!

    ¡°Moreover, losing the horse means more than simply losing the ability to fight for the prairie people.

    The Xianbei people live by water and grass. Their livelihood comes from grazing cattle and sheep. Transportation ability is their most basic living ability. Even for grazing, they have to ride horses to drive cattle and sheep to catch up with at least 100 people every day.  It only takes a few dozen miles.  Without the horse, he suddenly became disabled, unable to graze, unable to migrate, and even unable to find someone who could help him.  You must know that the entire northern grassland region covers millions of square kilometers of land, with an average of less than one person per square kilometer. The grasslands between tribes are far apart. Without horses, just walking would basically be equivalent to being unable to move!

    Therefore, once a tribe loses a large number of horses, it is almost equivalent to being isolated from the world, completely losing the ability to save people and themselves. Even escape is a luxury. Once the time enters winter and heavy snow comes, the only remaining  The cattle and sheep starved to death, and the Xianbei people lost the ability to move and forage. That was the end result of being completely trapped on the grassland!

    This is the most vicious trick to deal with the grassland peoples!

    For the Han people, the value of war horses is relatively much smaller. Even if they are all killed, it will not be a big problem.  And of course Li Zhe would not use it indiscriminately without preparation. It was inevitable to vaccinate his own horses in advance.

    This strategy was conceived on a think tank website in modern time and space. At the same time, two people proposed it. One was named Weapon Ohsa, and the other was named ?Weiye of the Han and Tang Dynasties was said to be a doctor. Li Zhe secretly guessed that both of these two people must have extremely twisted psychology and both have the potential to become terrorists.  He spotted the fatal weakness of the grassland people at a glance, which can be called vicious!

    It¡¯s just that the implementation of this strategy also requires certain conditions. The area of ????the grassland is very large, and the distribution of the grassland ethnic groups is extremely dispersed!  With the means and mobility possessed by ancient people, biological and chemical warfare was not so easy to implement.  In fact, in the history of modern time and space, biological and chemical warfare has been common in the wars between grassland peoples and farming peoples. The most common method used by people is to abandon sick and dead livestock upstream of the water sources that the other party must use, so that the other party will be poisoned without knowing it.  .  This stupid method is sometimes extremely effective and has changed the outcome of countless battles.

    But when things got to Li Zhe, everything was different. Li Zhe not only had a more virulent and contagious virus, but also had more convenient conditions for transmission.

    The helium airship is undoubtedly the most convenient tool for spreading viruses in the air that Li Zhe can currently use.

    Because of the emergence of powered hot air balloons, people are more accepting of things like airships. Although people from the Three Kingdoms will definitely not be able to learn to fly modern airships, their appearance will not be too abrupt.

    These sixteen helium airships were ordered by forest farms in modern time and space in the name of aerial sowing of pesticide seeds. They use the latest rigid airship technology, with internal high-grade alloy skeletons, and distributed air bags using the latest artificial interlayers.  material, which minimizes helium leakage and increases the life expectancy of the enclosure.

    The surface is covered with solar photovoltaic panels. The combined power provided by the combination of solar energy and fuel cells is extremely powerful, and the fastest speed can reach 90 to 110 kilometers per hour.  The volume is 490,000 cubic meters, the length of the boat is 262 meters, the diameter is 61 meters, and the load capacity is 120 tons.  Each one is like a hill, and looks extremely impressive. Of course, the cost is also high.  When it appeared in the sky over Xudu, tens of thousands of people in Xudu watched and were deeply in awe.

    And for better and more convenient use, these airships are equipped with navigation equipment, using digital heavy-duty gimbals for reconnaissance, and can use gyro inertial principle calculation and GPS information for navigation!  A SWIFI transmitter was installed because there is no electromagnetic pollution in the Three Kingdoms. SWIFI can be directly transmitted to the ground through signal amplification and directional antennas. The information processing system is open LINUX programming and uses a processing center composed of ARM processors to process information.

    Of course, such a complex system cannot be easily used even by Li Zhe himself. Most of the functions brought to the Three Kingdoms Time and Space were just decorations. Programmers in modern companies simply made extremely luxurious modifications to it and specially designed it for  Li Zhe designed a fool-like navigation interface that allowed Li Zhe to fly while looking at the digital earth screen. Even so, Li Zhe had to undergo more than a month of theoretical and operational training in modern times.

    In the Three Kingdoms time and space, without GPS, you can only use the gyro inertia principle for navigation!

    For the specific operation of the airship, one person is naturally enough when it is automated, but when it is manual, the minimum combination requires at least four crew members.

    Li Zhe brought an airship to the Three Kingdoms, and spent a lot of effort in Xudu. After half a year of training, he finally selected and trained three people from among the hot air balloon pilots to act as starters and do a good job.  flight preparation conditions.  Then starting from Xudu, after fifteen or six days of flying, and experiencing many setbacks and failures, I finally slowly mastered the key points of long-distance flying under the current navigation conditions, and arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain in the prairie!

    The devil is flying in the sky, and what the grassland is about to face is undoubtedly a nightmare!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
