Chapter 1474 Loyal to the Emperor and Patriotic Tesla
Latest website: The development and production of weapons and equipment in war is a matter related to the fate of the country.
Even Emperor Zhu Da, as the supreme ruler, needed to pay attention to these issues without exception.
When looking at the preliminary design plan of the Army's new 75mm field gun, Emperor Zhu directly gave instructions on the document.
"Taking into account the real threats of tanks and armored vehicles, when developing new artillery, it is necessary to consider the issue of left and right firing ranges, and it must have anti-tank effectiveness. In addition, please learn from the technology of the Navy's capped armor-piercing projectiles to develop corresponding capped armor-piercing projectiles.
For use in anti-tank warfare."
As the ruler of the empire, Emperor Zhu Da was worried about this war. Now he finally understood why during World War II, Mustache and Steel would personally develop weapons. In the final analysis, it was to win!
It seems that as rulers, they all have a kind of self-confidence, that is, they have their own unique opinions on weapons. Of course, in this regard, the mustache is not as good as steel. The mustache may have certain opinions, but most of the time it is paranoid, or even
It is precisely because of the paranoia of others that Santoku wastes a large amount of industrial production capacity. On the other hand, steel is open-minded on this point. No matter what kind of weapon it is, as long as it can fight Santoku, it can be produced, and then it can be produced
Focus on producing certain weapons based on feedback from the front lines.
"Anything that can pull out pus is a good plaster, but even a good plaster needs to be verified!"
While muttering to himself, Emperor Zhu Da casually took out another sketch that he had drawn long ago. It was just a sketch.
Compared with Mustache and Steel, Emperor Zhu has an advantage they cannot compare with - he knows the future!
Standing on the shoulders of the giant of history, he does not need to produce various weapons and equipment like steel, and then continue to try in wars. Such attempts are not so much trying, but rather using war to trial and error.
, and such trial and error comes at the cost of human life.
Of course, he didn't need to be like Mustache, who fell into some kind of paranoia in the end and came up with some "Dora", "Rat" and the like. Those heavy weapons made people puzzled.
It's a shame Santoku could come up with a thousand-ton tank.
Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, Emperor Zhu Da needs to try and make mistakes. He only needs to "take out" the successful weapons in history. Even if he cannot come up with exactly the same ones, he can at least come up with similar ones.
concept.
Sometimes all a lot of weapons and equipment need is an idea. In the past few years, Emperor Zhu Da, who has been in charge of the direction of the empire's weapons and equipment as well as science and technology, knows very well where to cheat.
As long as you cheat a little bit in those places, the results will be very different!
"Electric torpedo..."
After looking at it for a while, Emperor Zhu Da said to himself quite proudly.
“This is a pioneering work ahead of its time!”
But when he was so proud, Emperor Zhu Da didn't know that someone was already walking in front of him at this time.
…
"It is an invention of the sea!"
In Tesla's laboratory, facing the visiting naval officer, Tesla said directly.
"It is well known that torpedoes are extremely widely used weapons in naval battles, but they are easily exposed - they use high-pressure air as power. After launch, the high-pressure air bottle releases air to drive the propeller, propelling it to sail through the water.
But when sailing, it will produce a large number of bubbles. In naval battles, these bubbles will expose the existence of the torpedo, allowing the enemy to clearly see the torpedo and discover its threat, and then adjust the course by accelerating and turning the rudder sharply.
Avoid torpedoes, and for this reason, aerodynamic torpedoes reduce the threat of torpedoes!"
Pointing to a torpedo five to six meters long behind him, Tesla said in a rather proud and excited tone.
"So, after the war broke out, based on the needs of the war, I invented it... The electric torpedo, unlike the aerodynamic torpedo, uses lead-acid batteries as power. It not only has the advantages of long range and fast speed, but also has the advantage of sailing
It will not produce any bubbles when it is operating, and it will hardly be discovered by the outside world when sailing underwater. This is definitely a weapon most suitable for the sea, and of course, it is more suitable for the empire’s submarine force!”
When the words fell, Tesla looked at the naval officers in front of him with expectant eyes. He believed that his invention would be sought after by them. Of course, that was not what he cared about. What he cared about was that he could finally
Serve the Empire.
Tesla is a patriot!
He has always been grateful to the Empire. When he received honors, he expressed it time and time again - if the Empire had not provided him with a scholarship, he would not have even had the opportunity to obtain higher education. And the Empire not only allowed him to accept it
Higher education, and in the empire he also realized the value of life - becoming an inventor.
Here he not only received higher education, but also became an inventor and even a millionaire.
In Tesla's view, it was the empire that gave him everything!
Wealth, status and honor!
"All glory goes to the empire! To the Ming Dynasty!"
Many people in Ming Dynasty know Tesla's speech at the annual meeting of engineers a few years ago. He is a passionate patriot.
After the war broke out, as a subject of the empire, in addition to issuing a statement immediately to express his support for the empire, he also purchased more than one million yuan in defense bonds, but this was just a way for him to express his love for the empire.
A way of being loyal.
"In this war, every one of our scientists should do our best for the empire!"
From that day on, like many scientists, Tesla also began to study new weapons. While studying "controllable torpedoes", he learned that aerodynamic torpedoes often expose the position of submarines in naval battles and allow the enemy to have
With advance warning, Tesla immediately began developing electric torpedoes.
Despite the mediocre performance of lead-acid batteries, he successfully developed a torpedo that was comparable to aerodynamic torpedoes.
"Is it electric? No wake?"
an officer asked.
"Sir, the battery will not produce bubbles, just like a submarine sailing under the sea, silently!"
Tesla answered directly.
"With it, the empire's sea wolves can attack from the bottom of the sea and sink more enemy ships!"
Looking at the naval officers who were looking at the technical information with great interest, Tesla emphasized again.
"And I personally have signed a declaration that based on the sense of responsibility of the imperial subjects, I will give up all patents on electric torpedoes. I believe that this weapon can help the empire win this war and return the world to peace!"
In Tesla's view, some money can be made, but in many cases, making money is secondary. Being able to have this opportunity to serve the empire is enough for him. This is his way of repaying the empire.
Way.
Facing Tesla's generosity, the leading lieutenant colonel was surprised and said in a rather admiring tone.
"Mr. Te, thank you for your generosity for your excellent work! If it is as outstanding as the technical data, I believe the sea wolves of the empire will definitely cheer for your achievement!"
