    No. 1 Three Kingdoms time and space, Luoyang, the imperial capital.

    Since Li Zhe officially moved the capital back to Luoyang, the place has once again returned to the hustle and bustle of the past hundreds of years. Most of the empire's institutions have once again settled in this ancient capital, followed closely by these state agencies.  There are a large number of peripheral affiliates and a huge population serving these people.

    The population changed the face of the city. The huge influx of people caused buildings to rise one after another in Luoyang. Markets in Luoyang were crowded with people, and it soon returned to the prosperity of its heyday.  One of the differences between industrial civilization and agricultural civilization is that the carrying capacity of industrial civilization is relatively much higher, and the degree of population agglomeration is far beyond that of agricultural civilization. Today's Luoyang is less than  Within one year, the city's population once again exceeded the 500,000 mark, heading towards the limit of 1 million people.

    Back here, the Ming Empire also has a major issue that requires Li Zhe to make a decision in the near future, and that is the finalization of a series of new weapons that are closely related to the imperial military power.

    ¡­¡­

    His Imperial Majesty¡¯s chariot appeared again after disappearing for a long time, stirring the thoughts of the imperial subjects, and stretched towards the north.

    In the vast Mang Mountains to the north of the imperial capital, among hundreds of miles of rolling hills, there are a large number of cement buildings hidden. The two major scientific research institutions of the Empire, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, which were recently officially separated, are now located here. They are far away from each other.  Checkpoints have been set up in this area, and warning signs of the empire's military restricted areas are everywhere along the mountain.

    Li Zhe came here today and was invited to comment on the empire¡¯s recent strategic scientific research direction.

    "Your Majesty! Look, this is the result of our Thor project team. It is a direct-firing breech-loaded rifled gun with a 37MM aperture. It uses a spring group to retreat and buffer, and uses a series of threaded rod groups to control the lifting and direction. The tube sight device and the gun mount are all modules.  It's easy to operate, and it's definitely a good cannon." Jin Xin, the imperial fire expert, came up to him just after the ceremony.

    Looking in the direction of Jin Xin, there was a small cannon parked in the open space. The barrel was only more than one meter long. It was small and light. The gun mount was also different from before. It looked completely different from the original cannon. It was somewhat modern in time and space.  The style of the Yingguo Taisho 11th-year-old 37MM flat-firing cannon in the Middle East.

    Li Zhe nodded, encouraged Jin Xin a few words, and felt a little excited.

    "How is it? How are the results of the test firing experiment?" Faced with such a sharp weapon, even he couldn't wait.

    "Okay! Very good! You will definitely be satisfied. Just wait, we will demonstrate it for you right away." Li Zhe's words made Jin Xin extremely happy. From this, he could see that His Majesty the Emperor valued his work!  These alone mean a great gift to a scientist like him!

    Immediately following Jin Xin's order, the artillery drill began. A group of artillery crew members rushed to the small cannon. Just four people completely lifted the entire artillery crew, demonstrated the maneuverability of the small cannon, and then installed the gun mount.  And disassembly is also very quick and easy.

    Then came the re-deployment of the artillery crew. Under the intense work of the artillery crew, preparations for deployment were completed in just ten minutes. After asking Li Zhe for instructions, the gunner loaded an integrated artillery shell into the breech.  , pull the fire, launch, boom, boom, boom, three loud thunders in succession, and precise bursts from the target three kilometers away, turning into a ball of fire!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The artillery crew cheered in unison. Three shots hit the target at a distance of three kilometers. This was definitely their best result since the artillery drill. Even a group of senior officers watching nearby were shocked. Such accuracy was greatly  It surpasses previous smoothbore cannons and can be called a sniper.

    "How's it going? The effect of this is better than the curved fire cannon! There's no way that thing can compare with us!" Jin Xin encountered an unexpected surprise and was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear!

    "Your Majesty! I think Ma Jun's cannon project can be scrapped. It has been studied for several years, but it still doesn't work. Why not just use my Thor in the future and derive products of different calibers, which will be completely satisfactory.  For different needs, build tens of thousands of them and equip them into the Imperial Army. From now on, in this world, no matter what kind of fortress it is, it will no longer be able to stop the iron hoof of the Empire!" This old thing  , even when he is most proud, he still never forgets to cause trouble for his old rival.

    Li Zhe pursed his lips to hold back a smile, raised a finger and shook it at Jin Xin, "Haha! No! It doesn't matter what you say, your cannon is very good, very good, but Ma Jun's side  The curved artillery project is equally important. Both of your projects will be a heavy hammer for the imperial army in the future and are equally indispensable. Please stop giving me eye drops in front of me!"

    Jin Xin was rejected by Li Zhe, grinning widely, showing his iconic silly smile, and alsoI don¡¯t know if he is hiding his uneasiness!

    The curved gun is actually an imitation project of the mortar. Compared with the breech-loaded rifled gun, it is simpler and easier to operate. Since the breakthrough in the chemical industry the year before last and the successful experiment of the industrialized production method of mercury fulminate, it has been included in the military development list by Li Zhe  The plan had already been ordered to start.  But I don¡¯t know why, but it hasn¡¯t been completed yet.  In this round of competition between Ma Jun and Jin Xin, they are undoubtedly far behind!

    The rear-mounted rifled guns and mortars are a new leap forward in the Empire's artillery project. From the on-site exercises, it can be seen that its range and accuracy are not even slightly improved compared to before.  With this, is it still necessary to form a cluster strike with hundreds or thousands of artillery pieces like in the past?

    After these long-range and accurate-shooting artillery are equipped with the Imperial Army, it can be said that the army's ability to attack difficulties will definitely grow by leaps and bounds. From now on, as long as the firepower of a small unit equipped with an artillery team is sufficient, it will have enough firepower to attack difficulties.  Ability means attacking wherever you go, being able to complete an attack at the level of destroying a city or a country.  It is conceivable that in the future, countless battalion-level troops will fight, forming countless arrows, and all-out attacks that will cause mercury to fall to the ground. There will no longer be the need to gather large armies to siege the city at every turn, resulting in long-lasting battles like in the past.

    This thing can almost change the mode of war!

    At the very least, from now on, ballistas and smoothbore cannons should be completely outdated. Under the attack of new precision long-range artillery, coupled with the support of rocket launchers suitable for cluster strikes, the Imperial Army's  I am afraid that the way of fighting will also undergo a big change!

    In fact, such a change has already occurred in the empire¡¯s army!

    The breakthrough growth of the chemical industry has brought changes to the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army. It is definitely not just as simple as detonators and integrated artillery shells. New guns and new weapons are coming in clusters like a kaleidoscope.  Jumped out.

    It can be seen from the battles of the Imperial Army in the southern jungles from last year to this year. Due to terrain restrictions, the combat mode of the Imperial Army has changed in the battles in these areas.  That kind of devastating cluster strike is increasingly being replaced by the small-scale assault force model.

    In the past, landslide and tsunami-like attacks on fortified cities could hardly find targets in the areas of these primitive indigenous people.  Except that the rocket and incendiary bomb offensive is still as terrifying as ever, other aspects have undergone profound changes.

    The empire's army and marines had to become increasingly small-scale in their combat formations and tactics in these battles. Often a single unit or unit would become the main force destroying cities and countries in the jungle!  The attack of the empire's grassroots troops is becoming more and more irresistible!

    " What really plays a huge role in this is not the empire's famous artillery and rocket launchers. Those big guys are really difficult to move in the jungle, but a series of mature standard individual weapons and equipment.

    The black powder grenade of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, with a flame tube made of potassium chlorate as the main component, is almost a typical example of large-scale shoddy manufacturing by the imperial weapons industry.  With a ten centimeter long and four centimeter diameter cast iron projectile and a ten centimeter long wooden handle, it was almost a stubby bomb, ugly and heavy.

    But despite its unimpressive appearance, the huge amount of explosives gives it extraordinary power, and it is also full of firepower in the jungle.  Although most soldiers hate the shortcomings of this kind of grenade that cannot be thrown far, in real battles, this thing is the most reliable weapon for imperial soldiers when dealing with groups of natives.

    Also favored by grassroots soldiers is the Ming Dynasty individual black powder rocket launcher. After a period of technological development, the range of this rocket launcher has not increased much, but its power and accuracy have greatly increased. It is recognized by soldiers as the best  Use offensive firepower.

    Others include black powder mines and boxes of incendiary bombs, which are weapons that soldiers like to use in the jungle.

    Coupled with the most powerful weapon in hand-to-hand combat, the large twenty-centimeter caliber shotgun held by an individual soldier, a terrifying guy that can completely beat people into a pulp at a distance of five to ten meters, the grassroots soldiers of the Ming Empire,  Just use this kind of thing to deal with the indigenous people armed with bows and arrows, daggers, blowpipes and other weapons.  The resulting overwhelming offensive is not surprising. During the battle, a well-replenished team would often dare to lead his men into the garrison of a large primitive tribe of thousands of people, destroying all the troops.  Everything is looted!

    The empire¡¯s army is like this, creating patches of no-man¡¯s land in the jungles of Indochina, devouring everything like locusts, and destroying the local primitive indigenous civilization!  Writing a new chapter in the great expansion of the empire's territory!

    And Li Zhe, seeing all this, the new situation finally prompted Li Zhe to make up his mind!

    ? ??The new situation and the new battle mode pose new challenges to the imperial army!  Reorganize!  Once again, major changes have been made to the empire's military system, training system, strategic and tactical use, and matching military rank system!  It seems to be imminent!  (To be continued.
