Chapter 325: Advantages and Disadvantages
In the next few days, Wang Wei asked the other prisoners separately, and his understanding of the holy land became more and more.
First of all, the population of the holy land far exceeds that of Huacheng. The number of warriors in the holy land far exceeds that of Huacheng.
The most powerful weapon in the holy land is artillery.
The shells they brought on the ship were the most common ones in the holy land. Although the hollow shells poured also have the ability to explode, they not only have a short range, but also have insufficient power to explosion. In the open space, they can also explode large areas with shrapnel. However, if you want to sink a warship, you will need three or four shells to do so unless you are lucky.
However, the army of the Holy Land is equipped with more powerful and longer range artillery.
And it is said that they have a Musketeer.
That was not the defective product that Smith and the others brought on the ship, but a musket with a very serious and powerful force that was much stronger than bows and arrows, and was loading very fast.
Although it has not reached the level of full automaticity, it should not be far away.
The domination model of the holy land is religious.
There is no position like the King Chairman, and the biggest ruler is the Pope. Now the forces in the Holy Land are three-legged, and each force claims to be the son of orthodox God, and the rulers are also the Pope.
It is not difficult to find out from what Wang Wei asked about that this holy land has a great relationship with the earth.
Perhaps, the first pope of the Holy Land might even be a time traveler from the earth.
Whether it is the English he brought, the muskets, the funny looks and all kinds of things with the imprint of the earth, it can prove this.
People came to this world for hundreds of years before themselves, and their power has also developed for hundreds of years. The current strength of the holy land is not something that the Chinese can shake.
Not to mention the entire holy land, even any city in the Thirteen Holy Land, can easily destroy the entire Chinese race if you do your best.
Although the other party's gunpowder extract was not pure enough, the muskets were far behind the earth's guns.
However, after so many years of battle, they may not have been unable to find more powerful weapons.
After all, when it was on Earth, the rapid development of technology was during World War I and World War II.
Just like many people think that war is the driving force for the development of human science and technology, this kind of remark is not without certain reasons.
But Smith and the others cannot believe everything, not because they are afraid that they will deceive themselves, but because their status is too low. Among all the prisoners, Smith, the highest-ranking one, is just a nominal bishop.
Such people are not even 100,000 or 80,000 in the holy land.
If he really did a good job, he would not risk his life with the ship to try to cross the Storm Sea.
Such people may not be able to access high-end news in an era when news is blocked.
And being able to cross the storm sea was entirely due to their luck.
If they hadn't happened to discover the secret of the guide fish, even if their ship was harder, they would have been torn to pieces by the storm.
After all, no one has successfully traveled through the storm sea for hundreds of years, but they did it. This is not a matter of strength, and good luck is the king.
As for the other continents they discovered, except for some forbidden areas, the remaining places were also divided up by the three major forces in the holy land.
Every time you arrive in a new continent, it means countless opportunities and wealth, and every newly discovered land, even those small islands with an area of less than a hundred miles, can often create countless rich people.
And wherever they go, these people are like locusts passing through the border.
Trees, plants, minerals, and even some natives from their origins will be plundered by them in a crazy way.
And those rich people also accumulate primitive accumulations in the plunder.
Only when the natives of their origin die until one fifth of their death will they gradually restrain themselves and begin to capture slaves and work for them.
In this world, except for some forbidden continents that are listed as unsuitable for humans to survive, as long as you discover a continent that has never been discovered, it means that wealth, status and everything you want will become within your reach.
This is also the reason why people go into the sea every day in the holy land and set up boats to explore the new world.
Driven by interests, mankind can forget all dangers.
Although there is now a blockade from the Sea of Storms, driven by interests, Wang Wei believes that sooner or later, more people will discover the secret of the guide fish and come to the Chinese.
Once the first group of people come and bring back the news from the New World, then there will definitely be people like locusts coming to swarm and swallowing themselves to the point where they are not even left.
After all, the number of Chinese people today is too small, too small.
Moreover, I am committed to developing infrastructure, and Huacheng has no external troubles for the time being, and the development of force has long stagnated.
After all, when long swords, bows, arrows and drugs can conquer the world, who will have nothing to do and study more powerful weapons?
Therefore, even though the gunpowder workshop can produce a large amount of gunpowder every day, these gunpowder are only made into fireworks and thunderstorms used to open mountains.
Therefore, even if Wang Wei has advanced technology and has not been converted into physical objects, it is just empty talk.
It’s not that Wang Wei doesn’t want to transform, but because he lacks people.
Nowadays, if Wang Wei ignored everything else, was able to build a tank by providing technology and fully develop weapons, perhaps two or three years later, he would be able to piece together everything together.
But what's the use of having a tank alone?
The development of science and technology is not achieved overnight, but requires slow accumulation.
This is like a pyramid. The more accumulated the bottom layer, the more stable the above will be. If you are focused on pursuing high levels, if you don’t accumulate enough at the bottom layer, it will be useless even if you reach the top layer.
Just like when the Soviet Union and the United States were in an arms race, the destruction of the country caused the collapse of the country.
The accumulation of the bottom layer was not enough, and the light industry could not keep up. In that era, those precious tanks could be exchanged for cans, which became a joke that lasted for many years.
The same is true for Huacheng. Wang Wei has the skills, but Huacheng needs to accumulate. If there is no accumulation, even if you are given a tank, no fuel, no shell production line, and no supporting auxiliary tools, it is nothing more than an iron lump for Huacheng.
And let alone tanks, even a bicycle involves dozens or even hundreds of different industries.
Tires, plastics, balls, steel wires, steel materials of different materials, etc.
Now Huacheng will smelve various types of metals.
With the power of the entire clan, Wang Wei can get a purely handmade bicycle in just a few months, but what's the use?
There is no accumulation of the underlying layer, no industrialization, and no production line.
Is it cost-effective to build a bicycle that may be worth 100 yuan?
Of course, the Chinese are not without advantages.
At least, at present, the Chinese have at least two advantages.
The first point is the technology that Wang Wei has mastered.
The level of technology is nothing more than the lack of manpower. Just wait for decades to keep up with Huacheng’s population and develop to modernization. It is no problem to beat the holy land.
And the second point is the blockade of the Sea of Storm.
