The idea that Li Sheng found after thinking about it that time was so simple that he even wondered why he didn't think of it earlier.
The way to arm...why must it be "armed"?
This kind of thing is just like when playing a game... There are several panel attributes of a character, such as attack power, magic, attack speed, movement speed, and even special superimposed attack power, continuous damage...
All kinds, countless.
So... at this moment, we need to improve the survivability of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and let the merchants of the Tang Dynasty gain an advantage over foreigners... It doesn't have to be any weapons!
In addition to attack power, looking at other panel attributes in a different way... wouldn't that also improve survivability?
At this point, Li Sheng also remembered why he subconsciously felt that the internal combustion engine was something that needed to be developed as soon as possible——
Because the internal combustion engine can directly increase the attack and movement speed, the ship's ability to advance and retreat in battle, the speed of transition on the route, and even the ability to withstand storms and waves are greatly improved.
But armed with such equipment, it will not stimulate the whole world to follow suit, and it will not be used as a basis for attack.
The reason is simple...because other people don't have internal combustion engines.
No one has this thing, so... even though this thing has improved the combat capabilities of Datang's merchants, greatly improved their survivability, and even improved their gaming capabilities even more.
But all this is based on the fact that "internal combustion engines are a new thing", and some people do not.
This is the key to everything. If it is to strengthen the supply of weapons and strengthen maritime trade, no matter what reasons foreigners use, but the simultaneous follow-up of arms can only be done in the real game space rather than hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric.
because……
"What the Tang Empire can do to arm us, we can do it too."
It's because of the foreign version of the saying "If the enemy can go, I can go too", although there is a high probability that this sentence will not be actually said.
In other words, among all the nations in the world... there are only a few who truly know the depth of the Tang Dynasty's foundation.
Most of the other people have only a little knowledge, so of course they will take chances - and based on this chance, they will take action against Datang's overseas interests.
But the internal combustion engine is different. This is something that no one in the world has ever seen.
How can foreigners imitate the use of internal combustion engines to arm maritime merchants? This kind of luck cannot be established, so... even if the maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty conquered cities and established themselves everywhere, no one could take action.
In addition to the core game problems, there are also nominal advantages.
Although this internal combustion engine can greatly improve the attributes of Datang's sea ships, it is not a weapon. Since there are no weapons in the hands of the maritime merchants, who can blame or make a fuss about this matter?
Just like in a fight, a muscular man with bare hands may have an advantage over a thin man with an iron rod, but in a nominal issue like administration, the one with bare hands can claim to be at a disadvantage, and the other party is the violent one...
In short, if you really want to improve the survivability of Datang Maritime Merchants, you just need to avoid those methods that directly increase attack power and use other methods!
As for this "other method", Li Sheng, as a person born in an era when total warfare and unrestricted warfare have long been popular in the world, is too simple to think of...
The internal combustion engine is the simplest and most effective method, but...
Li Sheng touched his chin, but he was also a little worried, because internal combustion engines...are different from steam engines.
A steam engine needs to burn charcoal, and it can actually burn firewood when it is not available, but an internal combustion engine... This thing has no problem burning diesel, and diesel is, to put it bluntly, low-quality residual oil, but even so...
So far, Datang has not been able to find new oil fields!
Originally, in Li Sheng's memory, the best and largest oil field in China was still in the hands of Goguryeo. As for everything else...
I can't remember it clearly, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Even if I remember it, but... a very simple reason, although Li Sheng is a science student, "science" is a huge range, and within this range... Li Sheng is not a petrochemical major, so of course he is not.
May not know the entire industry too well.
The understanding of the petrochemical industry or mineral deposits is no different from that of ordinary people. Under such circumstances...the oil fields that I can't even remember are probably the parts that were developed later, and such fields are often very difficult to exploit——
Think about how much large-scale equipment will be needed to develop an oil field in the future? Now, although Li Er can organize manual mining, it is too difficult after all.
Under such circumstances, Li Sheng also knew that the internal combustion engine matter would be difficult...
This is the reason why Li Sheng looks so embarrassed. It's okay to talk about the machine, but the oil problem is...
If it's just a machine, I can't rush the work anymore and just ask Wu Meiniang to hurry up. But how to solve the problem of oil? Where can I find this thing...
Seeing Li Sheng's face becoming more and more troubled, Xiao Yu on the side gradually became nervous - isn't it... what's going on with Li Sheng? Is this really... something that even Li Sheng can't handle???
At this time, Xiao Yu's brows gradually wrinkled.
It's over...it seems like this is a really big problem...
But in an instant, Xiao Yu's frown disappeared. After all, think about it... No matter how awesome Li Sheng is, he is a god, but a god is not the king of heaven, right? Now it is a merchant who faces foreign enemies.
The regular army, this...
There is a saying: Three people jumped the tower on the road, and the jungler was not around, so why should I go...
Now that the regular army has caught up with him, what can he do? If he is targeted by the regular army, how can even Li Sheng save him?
At this moment, Li Sheng suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu,
"This matter... is not difficult. At this stage, regarding the base, you can first ask your people to form a stronghold to protect themselves and think of ways to support them first."
"Ah? This..."
Xiao Yu immediately wanted to say that I just asked someone to bring a letter to inform his subordinates to do this, but... what's the use of this?
Under the current situation, it is not a problem to sustain it for thirty to fifty days - the heroes at the bottom of the Han people have never surrendered to anyone in terms of their fierceness. But...
Thirty to fifty days, what happens after? The land that was spent a lot of money to manage is still gone...and the camp was built for nothing, including the truly valuable ports, docks, warehouses...the same goes for these things.
.
Isn’t this still nonsense? Support...what’s the use of mere support!
When Li Sheng said this, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that he really thought too well. Who can help this unsolvable matter? In the end, this is probably the result...
