"Use a submarine? Submarine, sir, what is a submarine?"
Chai Shao heard this, confused and understanding at the same time - because he finally understood why he and Li Sheng were so confused by their nonsense, and after a long time, Li Sheng came up with a new idea.
If there are any new weapons or military ideas that Li Sheng wants to bring out, it's no wonder that he can't understand them.
but.
This is so shocking when you think about it carefully. Chai Shao's eyes nearly popped out when he stared at Li Sheng.
Who is that? It’s Cao Zhi!
This ancient man was famous for his talent and he could write poems in seven steps.
But Li Sheng was much more terrifying. Looking back on the conversation just now, Li Sheng seemed to have come up with a new military method the moment he learned about the imperial court's use of troops.
Whether it's some kind of strategy or a new weapon, this talent is so incredible!
Chai Shao's face was full of astonishment. Looking at Li Sheng, his tone even trembled, "Master, this is a new weapon."
"New weapons."
Hearing this, Li Sheng touched his chin and started thinking, frowning.
Chai Shao was stunned at this little expression. His Highness was indeed unusually mysterious and profound.
After a long while, Li Sheng seemed to be wondering about something for a long time before he considered it and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not true, but it can also be said that it is."
"This submarine, as its name suggests, is a ship that can travel underwater."
"Underwater navigation?"
Chai Shao originally thought that Li Sheng could come up with a new military method in the blink of an eye, which was already powerful and outrageous enough.
As a result, these four words came out.
Chai Shao was stunned for a moment.
Damn it, His Highness is talking in his sleep!
"Your Highness, when a ship goes underwater, wouldn't it become a sunken ship?"
Chai Shao was shocked!
He could not imagine at all that according to Li Sheng's intention, the ship was built to go underwater.
But what is it called?
"What kind of sunken ship? Since it is a ship built for human use, of course it can be controlled. It can float up and down. Do you understand?"
Li Sheng chuckled as he spoke, and Chai Shao also reacted, but he didn't know what kind of trick it was this time.
In the past, Li Sheng used all kinds of magical arts every time, and there was not even one that did not cause great changes in the world. Whether it was gunpowder or printing.
The impact on the Tang Dynasty can be said to be extremely profound.
But Chai Shao still couldn't imagine how awesome it must be for a ship to move underwater. Can such a magical object really exist in the world?
"Old man,"
For a moment, Chai Shao didn't know how to answer the call.
You ask me if I understand, I understand!
"Sir, this ship can move underwater, which is indeed powerful, but the sailor corpsmen on the ship are also underwater? Isn't that right?"
Chai Shao didn't know how to answer the call anyway, so he simply asked another core question.
There are at least two core problems with the thing called "submarine" that Li Sheng mentioned.
One is what I just said, a ship becomes a sunken ship under water. Which serious shipyard in Tama specializes in building sunken ships? Even Hangzhou West Lake Shipyard would not dare to try such a weird production line.
The second problem is the problem of people. Even if the boat can travel underwater, but people are also soaked in the water, wouldn't they all become drowned ghosts?
This ship called a "submarine" is really no ordinary strange thing.
But this time Li Sheng was no longer impatient, but smiled. This time Chai Shao's question was even more critical.
The ancients couldn't understand this thing. Li Sheng still had some psychological expectations, so he went on to explain, "That's not the case. Although the boat is in the water, but this, this, Mr. Chai, if the boat moves in the water, then naturally
There will be no need to set sail."
"There is no need for sails on a ship without sails, so why do sailors need to be on the deck? Everything is done in the cabin, and that's the end of it."
"In the cabin."
Chai Shao couldn't help frowning as he listened.
But this time Chai Shao was not confused, but he felt that he had really grasped what the "submarine" Li Sheng mentioned was.
This means.
"Sir, is this submarine similar to a wooden barrel?"
After thinking about it, Chai Shao felt that it should be like this, but its shape was very different from ordinary ships.
Of course, then again, since it is a ship that can move underwater, it is not unreasonable to have a different shape from ordinary ships.
Li Sheng heard this,
This time it was Li Sheng's turn to be surprised.
He actually guessed it!
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's exactly it, but the resistance under water is high, so it has to be an elongated wooden barrel. And, to be honest, it's better to make this thing out of steel."
"steel."
Chai Shao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his eyes widened for a moment.
Need steel to make??
I am no stranger to steel shipbuilding for a long time. Among the maritime forces of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, the strongest and pinnacle combat power is the steel warship.
But it is understandable to use steel to build a ship that sails on the sea, but to build a ship that can move underwater, it is already amazing and outrageous to think about it. It actually requires a steel hull.
What the hell.
Chai Shao suddenly found that he was at a loss for words!
He looked at Li Sheng for a long time and couldn't say a word.
If people of Li Sheng's contemporaries saw this scene, especially people in North America, they would not be unfamiliar with it.
Back then, North America sent humans to the moon for the first time. This was the feeling of the humans watching that scene in front of the transistor screen.
People were dazzled by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Whether this kind of thing is good or bad is not what Li Sheng cares about at the moment, but Chai Shao is so difficult to understand the shape of the submarine's slender bucket. Li Sheng wants to explain further, but he can't help but sigh in his heart. This technology
It really is never-ending.
Submarine sounds simple, but in fact it still requires several "core technologies".
"It doesn't matter that Mr. Chai doesn't know the secret of this submarine. I just need to explain it to Mr. Chai. This one naturally needs to be sealed first, which requires welding technology."
Welding technology was regarded as a craft in later generations. In China's mainstream society, it was always regarded as a craft that low-income people who could not afford to study and cannot go to college would learn - rather than a "tec".
But in fact!
At the forefront of industrial manufacturing - the military industry.
At the forefront of the military industry - the submarine industry.
Welding is the core technology that determines how high-performance a type of submarine can be!
The better the welding skills, the quieter the submarine will be - the degree of silence is highly positively correlated with the welding skills.
There is no need to popularize the importance of silence to submarines.
