Chapter 1919: National wisdom

Lu Yu blinked, then smiled bitterly: "Are you letting me go or not letting me go?"

Zizi said: "The dragon clan is there and won't move. If you don't go, it's up to you."

After speaking, it seemed that he didn't have much words with Lu Yu, and he turned around and left, looking very chic.

The others also left directly after giving Lu Yu a slightly profound look.

After blinking, Lu Yu looked at the people who left, then said with a wry smile: "Trouble..."

Shao Yi hasn't left yet. He is standing behind Lu Yu. On the one hand, he is curious about what he is going to say to Zizi. On the other hand, he is also worried that Lu Yu will go with that colorful Divine Phoenix. Kick it out in good deeds.

Hearing Lu Yu suddenly said this sentence for no reason, he directly asked: "What's the trouble? Are you afraid of the dragon clan? No, this war between the wolf clan and the jade rabbit clan thinks that there is no turning back. As a result, To be made into such a good thing by you, for you, what else can be troublesome? And there is such a powerful family behind you as a backing."

Lu Yu sighed and said, "The wisdom of a country is different from the wisdom of an individual."

"Country and individual? What is that...?"

Lu Yu gave a wry smile and did not answer.

Regardless of the previous life or this world, he heard many people complain about the country and the country's lord. In short... In the eyes of ordinary people, all regimes are fools and dementias.

It seems that a dog and a pig are sitting in that high position, which is much better than them.

Is this really the case

It’s also gunpowder. People in later generations often criticize that the ancient people of the celestial dynasty are really idiots. They don’t use what they have invented, and they don’t use it for entertainment. Then they become weapons when they go abroad. In the end, people hold these firearms. You are defeated, what an idiot

Is it really like this

When gunpowder was invented, it was actually used as a tool by people, and it has nothing to do with entertainment. The earliest gunpowder has a high sulfur content, and it can be ignited to drive off the miasma between the mountains and forests. Simply put, it is disinfection and sterilization.

As the proportion of gunpowder was continuously tested and studied, it finally reached the level of black powder, and it was also made into a weapon in the first place.

Put it in a bamboo tube, and then stuff it with a hard stone or iron ball. After blasting, it can hurt people at close range. It was first used on the arrows in the sleeve of the ranger, which was regarded as a hidden weapon.

After being introduced into the army, it was used as a tool for marching and fighting.

But after all, not much.

There are three reasons. The smelting technology is not good. To put it bluntly, the ancient steelmaking technology in the heavenly dynasty was'smelting into steel'. The flame temperature is not enough, and the pig iron can only be smelted into steel under a thousand hammers. This aspect is absolute. Lead. But... How can the steelmaking skills of percussion produce a uniform cylindrical object

can!

But not too small.

So the second development of gunpowder is the gun.

But that was already a long, long time later.

The shackles of smelting technology make it impossible for firearms to be used in large quantities.

On the contrary, on the contrary, foreign countries with less advanced techniques and unable to achieve substantial development in smelting technology took another path.

To put it simply, when forging a weapon, what the heavens look at is the technique, and what foreign countries look at is the raw material.

So what they think is how to upgrade the raw materials, instead of just using limited resources like the celestial dynasty, and then researching the most complex and superb skills for forging.

The result... It was indeed that they first produced a barrel that was not so easy to explode.

Compared with this, there is a difference in disposable and durable firearms between the Chinese and foreign firearms.

The second reason.

applicability!

The war of the celestial dynasty was a melee of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people. One-off, or... Even if it is a musket that can only shoot one bullet at a time, it doesn't make any sense in a war of this scale. First of all, the cost of the gun is very high, and then the meaning of actual combat? Just after firing a shot, it will be wiped out by a charge. Regardless of whether it is defending the city or fighting, the speed and accuracy of loading ammunition are not as good as bows and arrows, and the flexibility is greatly inferior. So why use firearms? On the other hand, in foreign countries, there are thousands or even hundreds of people in a battle. As long as the use of firearms allows a soldier to kill one person first, and then directly meet each other, the sword and the sword will have an advantage.

Of course, to some extent, the peak development of other weapons has also restricted the development of firearms.

Another aspect is climatic reasons. The storage of gunpowder requires very strict environmental factors. It doesn’t work when it’s wet, it doesn’t work when it’s wet, and it doesn’t work when it meets water. Compared with the extremely complicated climate and natural environment of the Heavenly Dynasty, even Britain, which is afraid that it will rain for most of the year, has an advantage over the Heavenly Dynasty.

The third reason.

In fact, this reason may be the most important reason.

Farming is not good at fighting.

It's not a war, it's not a war. The congenital conditions are here, and there is no alternative.

Each country and region has its own suitable and unsuitable things to do.

For the celestial dynasty, war... doesn't seem to be the right one.

The pros and cons of weapons... In fact, they are not as important as people think.

During the Song Dynasty, the development of weapons was extremely advanced. Cold weapons had reached its peak. Even modern weapons could not be surpassed. Even some siege crossbows and the like could not be reproduced now. There are even more expensive and well-equipped cavalry, and even...there are firearms dominated by artillery, with absolute equipment power on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a crushing advantage.

This advantage is relative to the whole world!

But what can be done

Can't beat, just can't beat!

The Qing Dynasty said that weapons were not good, so it was all kinds of losses.

But in fact, although the Qing Dynasty couldn't make things by itself, it could buy everything with money.

The Qing Dynasty had the most well-equipped army in the world at that time, and one clear knife cut off seventeen or eight island samurai swords without jumping blades.

With the most sophisticated and luxurious in the entire East Asia region, it is really the most powerful fleet in East Asia.

Forces, equipment, and logistical supplies are all crushed by several times.

But... Can't beat it, just can't beat it!

A country can always think of more and deeper things than an ordinary person. What needs to be considered is the overall situation. Maintaining a rule is far from simple as people think.

At least for one thing, few people would doubt the legitimacy of a country's rule. This is where the country succeeds.

To put it simply, this is also a difference in'dimensional'.

It's like an ant sees a person getting in a car, maybe it will think, see, what an idiot that'person' is, he ran far away and was swallowed alive by an'ironclad beast', and I ran into other people's stomach by myself. Sure enough, creatures like'human' are stupid!
