This steam train is nothing else. It is the biggest key to the Tang Empire's surge in national power in recent years, especially its military strength.
The reason is too simple. The transportation capacity of steam trains completely exceeds any other means of transportation that has ever appeared in the world.
No matter how precious a horse's pedigree is, its strength seems to be no longer weak in front of the steam train, it is no different from an ant.
In addition, grenades, artillery, and the steel chariots that appeared more than a year ago, these terrible weapons are also one of the reasons.
After all, if it was just crossbows and armors, and the Tang Empire's army came to Europe with something, it would be doubtful what they could produce during an expedition. For the same reason, in fact, as long as we apply it to Rome and put ourselves in their shoes, we can reason.
It is not difficult to come up with the answer.
However, these things still appeared, and it was after Li Sheng emerged from the Tang Empire that he began to appear in the world one by one!
And the information that Rome used various means to find out was completely in line with everyone's thoughts. This guy named Li Sheng was responsible for all of this.
Such a powerful character is so amazing. The key to his power is that he is different from a wise king like Li Er and a powerful minister under the emperor. This guy directly provides a lot of things, which is exactly the same as his power in strategy.
There are two aspects that I don’t want to do.
In comparison, although the emperors and ministers of the Tang Empire were very powerful, at least for the current Rome, they were not that special. But the various things Li Sheng created were not like this.
, how would Rome have been able to produce things like fertilizer and gunpowder if it hadn't been for the help of a young Tatar by luck?
After clarifying the idea, it is not difficult to see that if the entire Tang Empire was a life-and-death enemy to Rome, then this Li Sheng would be Rome's for generations and could be regarded as a natural enemy!
Just like the comparison between a lion and a sheep, even though the two are similar in size, with one head and four legs, their combat capabilities are still very different.
There is no need to even mention things like steam trains and steel chariots, just talk about the "submarines" recently developed by the Tang Empire. This thing is the best example.
With such an obvious big threat on his face, anyone who is not blind knows what it means to Rome. What else can Rome do in the waters around Selis next? This is obviously extremely suspicious.
This Li Sheng.
However, it was this name that excited Marcus.
Because although this Li Sheng is troublesome, although it is indeed too powerful, the Rome of today is no longer the Rome of the past, and it is used to these things. Anyway, even if it is anxious all day long, it is of no use.
But after all, Marcus still remembered the name deeply, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.
This person will have more influence on the fate of the whole world, especially Rome, in the future, and the impact will obviously be adverse. As a young generation in Rome, I must think about how to defeat this guy.
Of course, Marcus is also an elite in Rome, and his mind is still very flexible - the chance of directly killing such a super genius is too small. According to the information he has obtained so far, this guy is simply Archimedes, Euclid
Yes, it is as powerful as Plato and other powerful figures in European history put together, and may even be more powerful.
So, to defeat this kind of opponent, the idea must be to use the opponent's strength!
Only by leveraging the opponent's strength can we truly defeat the opponent, rather than just impress ourselves.
Although there is no such term as "old age to seek a country" in Europe, Marcus still knows something like realism.
Facts have also proved that this idea is correct. The simplest, if not decisive, quietly obtained the special technology of Selis, Rome can now produce its own gunpowder, cost, and even bronze cannons, I am afraid that Tang Dynasty would have long ago
The empire was destroyed.
How can you still survive to this day?
However, although there are ideas, many times people are helpless in this world - no matter how powerful your ideas are, you can only do things bit by bit, and there will always be more problems than your abilities.
This may be a major basis to prove that the world is worthy, but the Roman Empire does not have so much time to lament this, although it did secretly obtain the fertilizers, gunpowder, and even papermaking technology of the Tang Empire in the past two or three years.
The big bronze cannon was made.
But more things are not so easy to handle!
When it comes to gunpowder and fertilizer, the process can be written down on a piece of paper. Especially for gunpowder, the formula is actually quite simple.
Fertilizer is much more difficult, but considering the great importance of this thing to an empire, so after a lot of effort, the Romans secretly obtained a lot of Selis craftsmen - through merchants on the sea.
After arriving in Europe, he brought a group of Roman craftsmen to work, and things went smoothly.
It has indeed achieved many things, but how to build a steam train?
This level of difficulty is incredible!
As for the steel chariot, the difficulty of manufacturing it can be described as a miracle!
As for how the Romans didn't know the secrets of those things, and how they learned that they were extremely complicated and difficult to make, they naturally learned about them through merchants at sea.
In fact, Rome was still a big empire after all, Hannibal the Younger was also a British master, and Marcus was no ordinary young man. There must be many factors that can make these people's trapped heads buzz and hurt.
.
In addition to the fact that the Tang Empire's current accumulated national power is too strong and its moves are too steady, leaving no opportunity for strategists, there is also the fact that if Rome wants to master the magical technologies of Selis, it will be increasingly difficult for Rome to master them.
It’s difficult because the complexity and integration level are getting higher and higher, to the point where ordinary people no longer know about it and can no longer follow the trend and get on the bus.
but.
Marcus was worried about his country at this time, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a good opportunity in the blink of an eye.
I was worried about how I could steal more of Li Sheng's talents and use them for Rome, but then I turned around and the opportunity came.
Since this is what Li Sheng said, there is a giant island in the unknown sea area to the south of Southeast Bay, then it is probably true!
I thought this news was first revealed by Li Sheng, and it was a "giant" island.
