Chapter 3350 : Looking back at the Jinshan River in China, looking eastward, Bashu Xilian

Shen Mo's troops have reached an unprecedented level in history in terms of military training and standardization.

The finely divided troops allow every soldier to operate the weapons in his hands accurately.

Whether it is artillery, infantry, scout or cavalry regiment, they have been practicing combat skills day and night for several years.

In addition, the troops have summarized many excellent training methods during military exercises.

It makes the warrior's will quality and combat skills extremely outstanding.

Under Shen Mo's command, officers and soldiers share the joys and sorrows, and their training can even be described as cruel! Each of these 200,000 tiger and wolf troops received ideological education from Shen Mo's family and country.

In addition, he has always rewarded the military achievements of his troops, so the troops' desire for war is also extremely strong.

When the war came, the soldiers of the entire army were filled with anger and prepared to scatter it on the invaders!... Over the years, Shen Mo's huge investment in the military industry has also made the Song Dynasty different from the past.

After nearly ten years of research, the Shengong Camp finally solved the problem of permanent magnets, and the first hydropower station in the Song Dynasty was successfully built.

This means that Shen Mo's military factory has added another important national weapon...power welding technology.

Although power technology has not yet been popularized for civil use, it has already had a strong impact in the military industry in the Song Dynasty, where war clouds are densely populated.

The most obvious advantage is that welding technology makes the production of various weapons and equipment extremely simple and cheap.

This was a great improvement to the war background of the Song Dynasty.

Just a little comparison will tell that Shen Mo made the first batch of military equipment.

When he fought against Xixia, his five hundred Wumu rifles, plus five hundred sets of armor, almost exhausted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Shen Mo's hands at that time.

In the current arms factories, alloy smelting, steel plate stamping technology, die-casting and welding technology are used.

The cost of producing a rifle has been reduced to less than half of that of a civilian sewing machine.

This is the result of Shen Mo's extremely high requirements for military equipment.

Such industrial achievements allow Shen Mo's troops to obtain more sophisticated, cheaper, and sufficient weapons and equipment.

During this period, Shen Mo's exploration and development of mineral resources was also successfully used in military equipment.

Now in Shen Mo's industrial system, molybdenum, known as the "war metal", has been widely used in artillery.

The origin of this metal molybdenum is very interesting, it is in the territory of the Great Liao Kingdom's land.

In the later years of the Yangjiazhangzi area in western Liaoning, the molybdenum ore can even be mined open-pit.

The extremely purified molybdenum essence is like a pencil core converted into segments, and is not buried deep on the surface.

Some can even be picked up directly on the ground, and can be used in industry after screening and cleaning.

Since these molybdenum ores have melting points exceeding two thousand degrees, they have almost never been known in this era.

However, Shen Mo, who came from later generations, knew very well how amazing the effect this thing would have on weapons and equipment! As for artillery, as long as two percent of molybdenum metal is added to the steel, the thickness of its barrel wall can be reduced to one-third of the original, and the gun body can still maintain the previous chamber pressure.

This means that Shen Mo's cannon can be made lighter and more flexible and can withstand greater pressure.

It is not only suitable for field combat, easy to transport, but also has doubled durability.

For many years, Shen Mo's disciple Lu Wuyu secretly transported molybdenum crystals to the Tongzhou military factory like an ants moving, hundreds or thousands of pounds through sea ships.

The heavy firepower weapons of the Song army were freed from heavy constraints, and their combat effectiveness was no longer the same as before.

As for the application of the second metal, it is metal chromium used on the first generation armor made by Shen Mo.

With the careful cooperation of Sihai Trading Company and Mowen Trading Company, all the heads were bribed around the Luobusha Chrome Mining Area located in Tubo and the herdsmen were emptied.

Sihai Trading Company is desperately plundering chromium ore resources at almost a crazy speed.

The alloy produced by chromium metal can increase the strength of steel, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and high temperature-resistant.

Whether it is the bearing balls or shock absorbing springs on the transport carriage, performance can be improved exponentially with it.

In the chamber of any rifle, just a layer of chrome can greatly improve its wear resistance and more than double the barrel life.

In the soldier's armor, as long as a small amount of chromium is added, the armor will be extremely tough.

...Strictly speaking, these two metals were used before and after World War I.

But Shen Mo came from his later generations and developed it at all costs.

It made them appear on the battlefield more than seven hundred years ahead of schedule.

Moreover, Shen Mo's progress in military industry is not just these two metals.

In his arsenal, military chemistry also entered the production stage.

Although they are unable to provide long-term smokeless gunpowder rifle bullets for the 200,000 army.

However, chemical explosives have been used for the loading of shells and anti-mines.

These explosives are small in size, powerful in power, and have rapid explosion power, which is easy to transport and store, adding a heavy weight to Shen Mo's army's combat effectiveness.

Now in each army of Shen Mo, the soldiers' equipment presents a reasonable layout of combining new and old, high and low.

Let's count from bottom to top, and each soldier in the infantry squad is using the Wumu Type 2 rifle.

Because of its rapid firepower and accurate shooting, it is still in service.

However, these rifles use brand new processing technology. Compared with the original old rifles, they have improved their accuracy and power, and their cost has been reduced to an incredible level.

If the Mongolian warriors on the grassland knew that the muskets in their hands were carefully crafted by craftsmen, the scrapping rate was extremely high, and after spending a lot of money to make them, the cost was four to six times that of the Wumu Type II rifle... I wonder if they would burst into tears! Because these two guns, from precision to range, from power to carrying weight, are simply bullying people!... In addition to the six Wumu Type II rifles in the hands of an infantry squad soldier.

In the hands of the infantry squad leader and three combat team leaders, there are four Wumu three-type rifles that can fire thirteen rounds of guns and bullets.

This rifle has a strong and rapid firepower, and is accompanied by a thick bullet with a caliber of 11 mm.

Even if it is shot on a war horse, it has enough stopping effect.

It can effectively restrain the Mongolian army's sea tactics.
