Chapter 888(2/2)
The improved version of this vehicle is an open-top vehicle that carries an 80mm mortar. The most powerful thing is that the vehicle can carry more than 300 mortar shells. It can even tow an ammunition carrier behind the vehicle.
car.
It can ensure that the mortar can fight a very intense battle without logistical supplies.
There is also an open-top type that can accommodate ten soldiers.
The surrounding steel plates can withstand the fire of the double 25 rapid-fire cannons, and the excellent performance is the only way to attack the linear position.
The former type is called a tank and serves as the primary assault force.
The latter are called self-propelled mortars and armored vehicles, which accompany tank attacks.
In Li Xiao's words, these things will be the main force in war in the future.
The Xu brothers couldn't understand that such a behemoth was very expensive. If an army was built using these things, the army would be too expensive.
However, the issue of military expenditure is not something they can consider. What they have to consider now is how to turn the commander-in-chief's idea into reality.
Fortunately, Newton has already developed the engine, and it is said that there is room for further improvement. Anyway, according to the commander-in-chief, the first is to reduce the size, and the second is to increase the output power.
"It's good. With this kind of thing, farmers in the Ming Dynasty will not be so tired. It's inhumane to let a bunch of old people still work in the fields." A plow is hung on the back of the tractor, and plowing is much easier than oxen.
And you can open more than a dozen furrows at once, so your ox cart is much faster.
"Yes! It would be great if our British farmers could also use this thing." Newton was very emotional and muttered quietly in English.
He and these British scientists missed their hometown very much. But it was useless to miss them. The most likely thing was to bury their bones on this heavily guarded island.
"Mr. Newton, all of your research was completed with the funding of Ming Dynasty. If you want to leave, you must teach the students of Ming Dynasty what you know.
I will give you one year to teach these students. As long as you teach them, I will send a ship to take you back to England." To Newton's surprise, Li Xiao actually talked to him in fluent English.
"You! Do you know English?" Newton's eyes were as big as eggs.
"Yes! I understand English." Li Xiao nodded and admitted.
"Then why didn't you say you knew English before?" Newton seemed to have seen a ghost. Sometimes they bullied Li Xiao because he didn't know English and said a lot of things he shouldn't have said.
