Of course, the above is an ideal state. The current real situation is this. The difficulty of building Chi Road in Western Siberia is extremely high, which is basically the same as that of Upper Qinghai-Tibet. Moreover, the alpine zone of West Siberia is very likely to cause great damage to Chi Road.
.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for Chen Xi to build a road from Congling or Xinzhou to Sizhaocheng in a short period of time. The best situation is to build a county road, which is basically the limit.
But this does not prevent Chen Xi from showing this to Yuan Da and others. At least Yuan Da and others have indeed been able to bluff them. If a hundred thousand troops, fully equipped, can arrive in forty days, then no matter what,
May be counted outside the extreme walls of the empire.
"This is too fast, it's unbelievable." Xun Shuang also came online, his tone full of surprise, because if he can reach Sizhao City in forty days, he will definitely be able to reach their Xun family's chassis. What else are you thinking about?
If you lose your land and go to Africa, why are you still struggling?
"I'll call a professional for you." Chen Xi pulled Xiang Liji into the small group, and then a group of qualified bosses came online one after another after sensing the small group's participation.
"Come, tell these pillars of the country about your top research on Xiangli." After Chen Xi brought in Xiangli Ji, he handed over the authority to Xiangli Ji, and then continued to explain the development strategies of Chidao and Highway to others.
and significance, and required all aristocratic families to build county-level roads.
After Xiang Liji joined the group, he had nothing to say. He was a pure technical person who could directly comment in a small group and watch the big bosses carve up the world. Human relations were basically the same thing. Naturally, after joining the group, Chen Xi made it clear and he would proceed as soon as he came up.
Popularization of professional knowledge.
Although Sima Jun and others were confused after hearing this, they generally understood that this family had come up with something outrageous again. In view of Xiangli's character in arms manufacturing, even Guo Zhao didn't jump out to be cute and just kept silent.
Listen carefully to Xiang Liji's explanation.
"In short, we have designed an all-electric locomotive. Due to the limitation of output, and the need to use it in an orderly manner to avoid engine damage too quickly, Xiangli called four civilian regiments to conduct verification on the circular driveway. The best operation
The mileage is two hundred and twenty kilometers to two hundred and forty kilometers per day." Xiangliji is relatively satisfied with this speed.
Xun Shuang and others looked at each other. These were 100,000 people. They could travel 220 to 240 kilometers every day. It was crazy.
"The actual speed can actually be increased to 15 kilometers per hour, but because of the need to stand for meals and solve physiological problems, the average daily speed is roughly the same as before." Xiangli Ji said helplessly.
At present, the power of the electric motors produced by Xianglishi is actually somewhat insufficient, and Chen Xi has basically settled on a track gauge of 2.5 meters. The demand for power is relatively large, so Xianglishi can only have one electric locomotive in the front and one electric locomotive in the back.
Do it like this.
In addition, due to technical and sealing problems, the motor needs to be cleaned every one thousand to two thousand hours. In order to avoid losses and unexpected factors, Xiang Lishi's suggestion is to replace a batch of heads every three days. This is how to get from Chang'an to Chongqing.
Ridge, the reason why four thousand kilometers takes twenty days.
In fact, the whole process was non-stop, and there was no need to consider the physiological problems of the soldiers. They marched day and night, and it took more than ten days to arrive. The problem was that people could not withstand it, and Xiangli's electric motor could not withstand such torment. After all, more maintenance was required.
It can be used for a long time, but if it is used up randomly, it will be fatal.
But even so, given the current situation where it takes 40,000 people to carry food and grass from Chang'an to Congling, it takes half a year, and it takes more than a year to carry food and grass for 100,000 people, the rail trains made by the Xiangli family are already at a level that is seriously against the sky. Already.
After all, for a normal march, the larger the scale, the more food and grass are needed. The more food and grass, the more civilians and animals need to escort the food and grass. Similarly, the more of the latter, the greater the pressure on food and grass logistics. This is why there are A situation in which a hundred shi of grain was transported to a border county and only one shi was left.
Sometimes it is not corruption, but people really eat horses and chew them on the road, and these things are used up. This is also why when infantry and cavalry march together, the scale reaches tens of thousands, and there is no supply of food and grass along the way. In this place, the marching speed will be extremely desperate.
This era has the spirit of heaven and earth. The transport capacity of livestock has been greatly increased, and the endurance has also been greatly increased. But even so, the loss of long-distance transportation of food is enough to make people despair. But if something like Xianglishi is created, Sima Jun and others will really I was confused.
Just like fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, everyone used chariots at the beginning. Crossbows were used as large-scale killing weapons because of the difficulty in making them. Bows and arrows needed to be calibrated and the arrow shafts needed to be straight, which was difficult to make. The mainstream were soldiers and soldiers holding long weapons. The tanks cooperate.
Until Great Qin developed the crossbow array and began to wash the ground from a long distance, the shape of the war was directly changed. No matter what the opponent was, it first came with a full-coverage wave of arrow rain to wash the ground.
I originally thought that the tactical revolution was scary enough, but I didn't expect that after so many years, they originally saw this scene in the history books and sighed at their opponents, but in reality they met Sourishi, and Sourishi once again initiated changes. .
"This is the electric motor I heard about before, right?" Sima Jun recalled it, and it was like a mountain. He didn't quite understand this, and he didn't think it was anything at first, but now that you throw it out, it's too scary. .
"Ah, yes, we have built thousands of units of this thing this year. Now we have simplified 70% of the parts to a level that can be put on the assembly line for ordinary craftsmen to make. It is expected that by this time next year, it should be 100% Eighty-five." Xiangliji talked about his profession with great interest.
To be honest, people like Yuan Da and Yang Feng no longer know what to say at this time. Can they say that the Xiangli family is about to squeeze their family to death?
This is completely meaningless. The Xianri clan has no intention of squeezing the others to death. The other party is just doing what they like, but the aftermath has caused them to be squeezed out of shape.
"In fact, we have now developed an electric assembly line. The clan elders have developed low-level lathes that can replace some ordinary craftsmen. They can automatically make some simple parts. Currently, they can make 10% of the commonly used parts in engines by themselves. Parts." Xiang Liji said excitedly about his recent progress.
Chen Xi who was explaining outside was already stuck at this time. What are you Xiangli doing? Say it again, I seem to have heard automation!
Xianglishi is simplifying the manufacturing method of electric motors and trying to modularize it, reducing the difficulty of making some standard parts to the level that ordinary craftsmen can make. This is why only a few people like Xianglishi have been able to build more than 100,000 square meters of electric motors in one year. The reason for thousands of electric motors.
This family itself is very good at simplification and popularization, but you are ready to popularize 85% of the parts in just two years. Are you sure you are serious?
Also, while you are working on electric motors, you are actually working on automation at the same time. Now the lathe can already produce some of the basic parts for you to make electric motors? You want to go to heaven.
"It's just that there are too many demands for electric motors, and there are also many places where they are needed. At present, we can only focus the demand for electric motors on some industries."
If the method is further simplified, it will reach the limit if it is simplified to a third-level craftsman. As for simplifying it to the point where a monkey can make it, it is impossible.
The problem is that the third-level craftsmen are already entry-level. According to the scope of use of electric motors estimated by Xianglishi, the entire Han Dynasty will probably need several million units of these things. But according to the current situation, there are not that many craftsmen.
I can't do it even if I want to.
So much so that Xianglishi took the initiative to suggest that Chen Xi should popularize the education of craftsmen, and even sent someone to prepare a textbook for this purpose. Although Xianglishi was so professional, he could at least reach Level 5 after completing the course.
Chen Xi asked another group of people to correct it, but in general, this situation can already explain a big problem.
However, from this aspect, these large schools of thought that continued from the Spring and Autumn Period were indeed quite enlightened in terms of education.
"Where did you originally plan to use the motor?" Xun Shuang said quietly. He had already made preparations for the Xun family to move. Originally, he wanted to stay there, but now it's better to forget it.
"Where?" Xiang Liji looked at Xun Shuang puzzled, "It can be used anywhere."
"Can it be used everywhere? Is this thing omnipotent?" Sima Jun frowned. Because the scope of knowledge is really far away this time, it is difficult for Sima Jun to think of the role and significance of electric motors.
"Ah, it is not omnipotent, but with relatively good mechanical design, electric motors can replace most human mechanical labor. Our family has already developed electric seeders, harvesters, blowers, etc., although they rely on
People help." Xiangliji said with an obviously depressed tone at the end.
The man-powered harvester and man-powered wind blower that Chen Xi wanted a few days ago have been built by a group of geniuses, but the master craftsmen in Chang'an are actually just short of getting there.
Just because this thing is a creation rather than an improvement, and there is no model, these older and experienced master craftsmen are unable to turn around, and in the end they have to find a group of young master craftsmen.
A few of the Xiangli family came, a few of the Nanyang Zhang family came, and Huang Yueying also went. Together with Zheng Hun and Ma Jun, they quickly got what Chen Xi wanted. From a certain point of view, this was also
It's just a consultation with experts, a bunch of mechanical mental talents, and it's done.
However, Chen Xi does not know the news yet, and the big bosses have no intention of reporting to Chen Xi. They are still arguing with the supervisor.
