People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

It only took two short months to fully understand the golden cannon.

And successfully produced a batch of golden cannons.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and personally led all civil and military officials to experiment.

The power of the golden cannon shocked Cao Cao and others.

Then, they insisted that hot weapons are the future.

Cao Cao ordered on the spot.

Order Gongshuyuan and Mojiayuan to make golden cannons with all their strength.

But limited by the amount of iron is not much.

Only twenty golden cannons are produced in one month.

Not enough for a fraction of the golden cannon owned by Sun Ce.

Cao Cao was aware of this problem.

He also ordered the Public Transportation Institute and the Mohist Academy to study technologies to increase iron production.

Gongshuyuan and Mohist Academy took orders.

But this technique is not as simple as preventing the golden cannon.

It takes a lot of time and effort to conduct various experiments.

I can't figure it out for a while.

In addition to golden cannons and technologies that increase iron production.

Gongshuyuan and Mojiayuan have indeed produced a lot of powerful things.

Such as refined salt, such as Quyuanli and so on.

This has greatly improved the economy of Cao Cao's territory.

Cao Cao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

He often praised Gongshu Yuan and Mohist Yuan for their greatness.

And on Sun Ce's side.

Tiangongyuan is more powerful than Gongshuyuan and Mojiayuan combined.

The first is thermal weapons.

Ma Jun not only produced a musket with better performance.

Also upgraded the cannon.

More powerful and more accurate.

The cooldown time has also been increased from three to six.

Range has been greatly improved.

It was originally 3000 meters.

Now it has reached 5000 meters.

The performance of the new generation of artillery far exceeds that of the golden cannon in all aspects.

Sun Ce was very excited.

Great rewards were given to the craftsmen headed by Ma Jun.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce named the new generation of artillery the Shenwu Cannon.

And ordered the Tiangong Institute to fully produce Shenwu cannons.

It is worth mentioning that.

After the production of [-] golden cannons, Tiangongyuan stopped producing them.

In addition to thermal weapons, Tiangongyuan has also made great progress in electromagnetics.

In the beginning it was just light bulbs.

Now there are all kinds of electrical appliances.

Such as flashlights, batteries.

Refrigerator, electric fan, electric kettle and so on.

Although it is still very rough, it is far inferior to the electrical appliances in modern society.

But already has some functions.

What excites Sun Ce the most is.

After vigorous research by the Tiangong Institute, the steam train was finally produced.

In the past two years.

Sun Ce gave Ma Jun the steam engine blueprint rewarded by the system.

Ma Jun then developed the steam ship.

Since then, Ma Jun has been studying steam trains.

It was not researched until today.

Not too early, not too late.

Sun Ce immediately summoned Xun You, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other confidants.

A meeting was held.

Chapter 555 Sun Ce Plans to Build a Super Railway

"Everyone, Ma Jun told me that the steam train research was successful.

I plan to build a super railway between Jiangdong and Xuzhou.

What do you think? "

Sun Ce looked around the crowd, and said straight to the point.

Zhuge Liang and others knew about the opportunity of the steam train.

I heard that Ma Jun successfully developed a steam train.

Everyone was excited.

"Make, must make.

Building railroads and running steam trains has huge implications.

if successful.

Then our battle with Cao thief is already half successful! "

Xun You said solemnly.

"Xun Lingjun is right."

"Great goodness."

Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and others nodded in agreement.

In war, it has never been enough to have a strong army.

And logistics.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

From this we can see the importance of forage.

It can be said that the logistics of the army can not be guaranteed.

To a large extent, it determines whether the army can win the battle.

for example.

At the beginning, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought for hegemony in the world.

Xiang Yu has won many battles and Liu Bang has lost many battles.

But why was it Liu Bang who finally captured the world?

The most important reason is that Liu Bang occupied Guanzhong.

Food and grass are abundant, and the population is large.

The logistics support is in place.

So Liu Bang lost once, and he can do it again.

Although Xiang Yu can fight.

But just able to fight.

Farming and growing the economy are not good at it.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bang can beat Xiang Yu.

The root cause is that Xiang Yu was exhausted.

Back to topic.

What does logistical support have to do with railways?

Transporting food requires manpower and horsepower.

Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass are often transported to the front line.

Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass will be consumed on the road.

According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Grain was transported thousands of kilometers from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.

One hundred thousand stones per shipment.
