Red Alert 1895

Chapter 413: visit (2)

When Wang Guorui explained the content of the automated production in front of the students of the industrial department of the University of Berlin, most of them were very disdainful, and then the politicians who came from this "industrial desert" place like Wang Guorui were obviously also disgusted. Don't take it seriously. Because in their eyes, China is a place without industry, and politicians in a place without industry will naturally not understand what industry is, so they all think that this is Wang Guorui's nonsense. In their thinking, how can the machine move automatically? This obviously does not conform to their consistent thinking. They even criticized this as their own conjecture in the industrial desert of the East, and even believed that this automated production is actually something that cannot be realized like a perpetual motion machine.

However, there are also some people who feel enlightened, and then think that this is the direction of the next research. Therefore, this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot transcend inertial thinking, while geniuses can break inertial thinking, transcend traditional inertial thinking and develop something that is very frightening. At the top level in Germany, even this content about automated production will be sent to the industrial research departments of various countries for automation research.

But they don't know that if they want to realize real automation, they must be able to make a computer. And without computers, the ability to automate would be poor. And to make a computer, there must be enough transistors, and most importantly, a large number of electron tubes, and these two things are not currently available. Even with the conditions. There is still a long way to go for real automation! Without decades of technology accumulation, it is impossible to truly realize the so-called automated production. So Wang Guorui throws out some specious things from time to time, which is enough for them to study for decades. Anyway, don't look at it as just one sentence. However, there are still a lot of industrial technology tree processes in it, making it impossible for them to climb this technology tree in a short time.

"Governor Wang, next we will visit the Berlin Military Academy. The Berlin Military Academy is the most famous military academy in Germany. The graduates here will become the backbone of our German army and our most important officers. One of the training places. Clausewitz, the author of our German war theory, has also served as the dean of this Berlin Military Academy for a long time, and he is one of our greatest military educators in Germany."

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Wang Guorui replied.

soon. The car came to the Berlin Military Academy again.

"Governor Wang, what kind of arms do you want to teach?"

Wang Guorui replied: "Go and see the engineering soldiers!"

"Engineers? Governor Wang is indeed an expert!" the German police officer laughed.

Of course, Wang Guorui knows that Europe in this era has changed because of his arrival. Europe has paid great attention to this trench warfare, and trench warfare must be inseparable from engineers. Now the status of engineers has been greatly improved. Not only do they need to dig in trench warfare, but they also need him for work such as blasting. In addition, the design of various tunnels also requires them to complete. In this way, the status of the engineering soldiers is also greatly improved, not as low as in the past. As for now, the basis of trench warfare is engineers. Because the firepower has reached the limit and cannot be improved, and the enemy cannot attack. The only breakthrough is the engineering soldiers, and the only way is to hope to break through the tunnel tactics.

As for tanks being researched by Western countries, they are all in the process of research and development at present, and it doesn't seem like Taiwan can put them into teaching. Therefore, there should be no training on armored soldiers in the military academy.

And soon, among the students of the engineering soldiers. The two are discussing something.

"Governor Wang, they are arguing about how to clear mines faster. Because in current trench warfare, the enemy not only has enough firepower in front, but also has two very powerful weapons, barbed wire and mines. mines, it must be very dangerous for the attacking side. Therefore, landmines are an effective weapon to curb the enemy's attack, so they are discussing how to clear the mines the fastest. Only after the mines are cleared can the follow-up troops be able to break through the position and rush to the before the enemy."

Wang Guorui heard that they actually wanted to discuss how to clear mines. This can be said to be some improvement of the German tactics in Taiwan. Wang Guorui only used barbed wire as a prop to stop the enemy, but the Germans were even more ruthless. Landmines were laid again directly in front of one's own position, and after the mines were laid, the enemy would inevitably step on the mines after charging over. So I want to open a gap for the follow-up troops. That must be demining.

However, the speed of mine clearance is a very serious problem. If there is not enough demining speed, it will not be able to quickly open the way for the follow-up troops. Therefore, the engineers responsible for demining have a very heavy responsibility. They must clear the mines as quickly as possible, otherwise the follow-up troops' attacks will be delayed. These two engineering students are also here to discuss how to clear the mines as quickly as possible.

But they thought a lot, and there was no good way to clear the mines.

"If you want to clear mines, the best way at present is to clear mines manually. Only artificial mines can adapt to any terrain!" Immediately, a student engineer said.

And immediately someone retorted: "Then why can't we use shells to clear mines?" As long as we use shells to clear mines, then we can quickly clear mines. "

"No, no, the enemy's minefields are generally built outside the range of our artillery, and they will not easily let the minefields be within the range of our artillery shells. Moreover, the density of shells cannot guarantee that all mines will be eliminated. , the landing point of the shell is very complicated, even the most elite artillery can't be sure where the shell lands. The accuracy of shell demining is not enough, not to mention that if the shell explodes, it will be impossible to observe whether the mine is cleared. Therefore, shell demining In fact, the efficiency is not much better than manual demining.”

"Then what should we do? We can't just let it go, right? If there is no way to clear mines quickly, how can we clear mines where we are?"

The two students were arguing, but the officer next to Wang Guorui saw Wang Guorui's smile, and suddenly said treacherously: "What's the point of your arguing here? Why don't you ask the inventor of trench warfare? The inventors of war are all beside you, why don't you ask?"

"What? The inventor of trench warfare? Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, China?" a student immediately asked.

And Wang Guorui knew that it would be impossible not to come forward at this time, so he took the initiative to say: "Hi, I am the Governor of Taiwan, China, Wang Guorui, and I am the perfecter of this kind of trench warfare. In fact, trench warfare originated in the West. It's just using him to the peak and developing him to the peak!"

"Oh? Mr. Wang, can you solve our problem?" A student immediately asked.

And seeing the students in these German schools looking at him so expectantly, Wang Guorui also knew that it would be impossible not to show his hands. If you don't show your hands, how can you gain the respect of these military students at this time?

"Actually, what you said just now is correct. One is to use the air wave pressure of the artillery to detonate the landmines, but the accuracy of the artillery is too low to be controllable. And many times the enemy's minefields are also outside the range of the artillery , so it is impossible to clear mines by artillery. The other is to use manpower, but manpower is not only dangerous, but also faces the fire of enemy machine guns and other weapons. It is too difficult to clear mines under such intensive firepower. So you hope to be able to Quick and precise demining, so that the engineers will not be exposed to the enemy's firepower for too long, and the mines can be cleared as quickly as possible." Wang Guorui said.

"Then Governor Wang, do you have any good ideas?" the student asked.

"Actually, you just need to combine your two methods!" Wang Guorui said.

"Combined?" They obviously didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Actually, you can let your frontline combat engineers carry some special weapons~lightnovelpub.net~ and then take those weapons to the frontline to carry out blasting. That's all right, and a lot of landmines will be removed."

"However, how do you know where the landmines are? You can't blow them up randomly, right?" Someone still asked.

Wang Guorui immediately explained again: "You can try a peeled rubber tube, and then fill it with some gunpowder, but don't put shrapnel in it. As long as you have this thing, you can extend the thin rubber tube filled with gunpowder to the front. Then a rubber tube can be laid on the minefield. Finally, as long as the rubber tube is ignited, the gunpowder inside will explode immediately. Such a powerful gunpowder gas can also generate huge force, and then the safety zone within one meter .As long as we have these safety zones, we can quickly clear further mines.”

And those German students were also very surprised, they didn't expect to use this method to quickly open up a passage. This method is not only efficient, but also uses firepower to clear mines, unlike those manual mines. And it is controlled by manpower, and the process of demining can be completely controlled. And the rubber tubes filled with gunpowder are also very easy to manufacture, not difficult. So, this is also very easy.

"Then how can you throw it so far? You can't throw it too far with human power, and you can't throw it very straight!" Someone immediately asked. (to be continued)
