Chapter 20 The Chariot Concept

Zhou Shixiong originally studied a brief history of domestication of large animals and knew that the habits of domestic animals are very different from those of wild animals of the same species. The main reason is from the primitive people who initially domesticated wild animals. They set the purpose of domestication for these animals in the most barbaric way. After tens of thousands of years of development, the population that is most suitable for human needs has been preserved, resulting in the living habits of most domestic animals that are very different from those of wild cousins.

Zhou Shixiong has the assistance of nanorobots to transform livestock from the genetic level. Although it is impossible to create new species in large quantities, it is still okay to create a few new cattle and new sheep. However, if you want to cultivate a species that can reproduce naturally, it is probably not possible to do it in a short time. According to the information provided by the chip, without the natural evolution of more than ten or even dozens of generations, it is almost impossible to stabilize a new species. [..com]

Zhou Shixiong calculated with his fingers. Ordinary buffaloes need at least three years to breed. If calculated in three years, it will take 30 years to complete the first cycle of the new species with the help of gold fingers. This depends on whether the new genes are completely preserved after the natural stocking generations. If so, congratulations, you can name this new species. If not, congratulations, your retirement time has been extended and there is a lot of work waiting for you.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty that Zhou Shixiong learned in his previous life, Emperor Chongzhen could play for more than ten years, and probably wouldn't be able to survive Zhou Shixiong's new cattle. He was originally full of confidence in cultivating new breeds of livestock. After careful analysis, he realized that he was having a long dream. Zhou Shixiong did transform hundreds of war horses and dozens of elephants. The problem is that he didn't know whether the descendants of these war horses and elephants could inherit the excellent genes of their parents. If not, would Zhou Shixiong want to transform war horses and elephants one by one?

How many war horses are needed to form an army? How many less than 700,000 nanometer robots left by Zhou Shixiong can support him to transform? Thinking that the robots will also be depleted, Zhou Shixiong determined that the plan to create a large number of biochemical war horses, elephants, and cattle is stranded.

"It's better to leave this golden finger to transform a few more people. At least no matter whether the descendants are strong or not, at least this generation can help." Suddenly, Zhou Shixiong paid attention to the Sanbai Jinyiwei, who had not paid much attention to it. He planned to return to Pingxiangzhou to conduct a census of these students, develop their abilities, and give him more help.

Two of the three roads were blocked, and Zhou Shixiong could only leave his hope for the option of box truck. The box truck was invented to give infantry a certain defense in the field, which could effectively block the impact of war horses and the shooting of arrows. Shen Fu's new box truck was equipped with a firearm to replace the original archers. Zhou Shixiong was once addicted to the interest of making car models, and the invention of the centipede car was inseparable from Zhou Shixiong's creativity.

As a modern person, Zhou Shixiong knew that vehicles needed power, and power not only refers to the traction provided by livestock, but also the various forms of power provided by internal combustion engines in response to their needs. It doesn’t matter whether internal combustion engines can be made. For Zhou Shixiong, the cross-age thinking of power can be installed in the car is the most important. Zhou Shixiong spreads out his paper and pen to design a new box truck and puts the power in the car.

In this era, the only things that can power vehicles are cattle, horse, donkey and mule. Super powerful animals such as elephants, have caused very few people to drive them as traction as vehicles due to domestication and living environment. Zhou Shixiong did not care about so many, and he designed a supporting vehicle for every large livestock. After reading his own design drawings, Zhou Shixiong sighed again. It is difficult for such a large vehicle to find a suitable road to drive normally. As a war tool, a vehicle with built-in power must be able to adapt to most terrain.

Crawler-type vehicles can meet the requirements, but where can I find them? If we use metal to make tracks, the horse's strength is definitely not enough to push the vehicle, and the cattle can barely run. But it is meaningless to just push the vehicle. The vehicle must also be equipped with combatants and weapons. If these loads are added, there is no need to test them. Zhou Shixiong knew that only an elephant could pull this kind of car.

Well, even if you can only use an elephant, you have to make it. Just use it as a secret weapon. Zhou Shixiong made up his mind to build this new type of chariot, first designing the vehicle as needed, and then reducing the load item by item according to the actual power provided by the elephant. After a month of tossing, a brand new drawing appeared. The appearance of the vehicle is similar to a common minibus, because it is not possible to give the elephant enough space.

The elephant is inside, and the combatants can only be arranged outside. Four crossbows are installed at the four corners of the roof and a bed crossbow in the middle to ensure strong long-range attack power. In addition, a circle of knife and shield is installed around the car, and the desperate person will hit him up and kill him. The front end of the vehicle is the cab. How can a car that cannot change directions come from Zhou Shixiong's shooting? The cross-bar change direction controller is Zhou Shixiong's final design product. He considered that the elephant could not turn for a short distance, and used the cross-bar to fix the maximum steering angle to avoid overturning accidents caused by operating errors.

Although there was no physical object, Zhou Shixiong could basically judge the effectiveness of this car. When encountering infantry, it was guaranteed to be defeated, and it was easy to attack cities and villages. It could effectively curb the cavalry's rushing and conduct short-range counterattacks. So many advantages made Zhou Shixiong laugh happily, but he knew that this kind of car could not withstand the bombardment of medium-sized artillery. Zhou Shixiong was very troubled by artillery. Nowadays, artillery has almost no hit rate. Only a very small number of artillery can reach about half of the hit rate under the operation of experienced artillery soldiers. If the target is large enough.

There are not many people like Sun Yuanhua who can build cannons and fire cannons in the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Shixiong has nowhere to dig up even if he wants to poach. At this stage, he can only pray to God to deal with the attack of cannons, so don’t be attracted by the flying iron lumps. If you want to create a chariot that can withstand the bombardment of three-pound cannons, at least a layer of steel plate must be laid on the outer layer of the car body. Zhou Shixiong still doesn’t know if the elephant can pull such a heavy car.

The wheels of the first generation of combat vehicles only use the axle, and the load-load wheels at the rear are directly installed on the carriage, as long as they can withstand the weight of the body. Zhou Shixiong himself was not satisfied with this design, so he immediately began to design and optimize. The load-bearing wall structure was replaced with a frame structure, and the frame was made of metal, and the wheels were placed on the frame. The body could be modified as needed. Zhou Shixiong was quite satisfied with the design of this second generation of combat vehicles.

"Brother Hongchang, the elephant team is here, are you ready?" Wan Qi'an walked into Zhou Shixiong's courtyard and saw Zhou Shixiong basking in the sun. In fact, Zhou Shixiong was mentally calculating how much steel the chariot frame needed and what size of materials are the most suitable.

"There is nothing to prepare, just bring these cattle and sheep with you." Zhou Shixiong went to find his landlord Lei Chen and said, "He was going to leave Longtan Village for a while. He took the cattle and sheep away and gave the other things to Lei Chen.

"Where are Brother Hongchang going?" As for a shepherd who raises animals, the tables and chairs in the house are all property. Zhou Shixiong gave it to Lei Chen so generously, so Lei Chen had to ask what was going on.

"My friend helped me find a long-term job in Pingxiangzhou. You see, I am not young anymore. If I have a long-term job, I have to find a wife. Unfilial and unfaithful ones are the most important. I don't want to be an unfilial son." Zhou Shixiong joked and said goodbye to Lei Chen and drove the cattle and sheep to leave Longtan Village.

"Young Master, it's great to see you." Zhou Wu is a senior executive. It is necessary to know that Zhou Shixiong pretends to die. Guan Chongguang is worried that if several major generals are hidden, he will easily have other ideas. It doesn't matter if others are confused. These people who control the army cannot be confused.

"Come on, I'm not as good as you cry." Although Zhou Shixiong could change back to his original appearance, he didn't want others to know that he had such ability. Therefore, in addition to verifying the password for the token, Zhou Shixiong also had to tell what he had worn when he saw Zhou Wu for the first time. Wan Qi'an heard Zhou Shixiong say that he didn't wear anything when he first met Zhou Wu, and he smiled and covered his stomach and thrust. It was estimated that Zhou Wu was so enthusiastic that he was afraid that Zhou Shixiong would calculate the accounts.

"Several ladies are looking forward to your return. Just as the funeral was completed, the eldest lady drove me out to pick you up." Although the imperial edict had not yet come down, You Min's name had already been implemented as the eldest lady. Zhou Shixiong thought that this mistress would be reborn quickly!

The journey was peaceful and safe. I returned to Pingxiangzhou in late October. This time I came back and didn't have a single greeting. Everyone resisted pretending not to know Zhou Shixiong. To be honest, only Wan Qi'an and Zhou Wu can know that they are Wan Qi'an and Zhou Wu. Hu Guangli, who had seen Zhou Shixiong many times, did not know that this was his boss.

In a yard behind the commander's yamen in Baiyun City, several women sneaked into the yard under You Min's leadership and were taken down by Zhou Shixiong on the spot. "Honey, your face?" In front of You Min, Li Jie and others, Zhou Shixiong played a magic trick of changing faces. In order not to scare his woman, Zhou Shixiong only changed two faces.

"This is a secret technique that can change another way for a long time. Once it is fixed, it cannot be changed. You still have to be familiar with this face in the future. In addition, you cannot tell anyone about this matter, and neither Cheng Peng nor Jishi can be said." Zhou Shixiong fooled several women and then turned back to a new face to wait for the arrival of Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng. They both had a lot to say.

"Sir," Guan Chongguang said as soon as he spoke, Zhou Shixiong waved his hand to stop him, "Don't call him sir, call me Hongchang from now on. I don't want to reveal flaws because I'm not used to it." Zhou Shixiong didn't know how long he would have to hide his name, and in order to avoid Emperor Chongzhen's entanglement, he recognized it.

"Yes, Hongchang, this plan seems to be a surprise, but in fact it has missed a lot of things. The faces of the toasts around Xiangzhou have changed again. Although they have not turned against each other, the meaning of staying away is very obvious." Guan Chongguang was a little uncomfortable with calling this name, and he spoke a little stumbling.
