C1340 Poor Zai Chun (1/2)
After humans entered the Industrial Revolution, they had slowly replaced all the geniuses of the Middle Ages, and the system had also gradually replaced all of one's powers.
For example, the Chinese Navy's trump card, Zhiyuan Warship, from design to water. The number of people who busied themselves with every step of the way was more than a hundred thousand!
Who produces the rubber used in warships? It had to be a large rubber factory, a systematic study of the new rubber combination of industrial bodies.
Who's going to make the steel for the battleships? Steel plant under the size of ten thousand people did not have the qualifications to take on this mission.
Who is going to produce the instruments for the hull? The Dogga precision dashboard factories scattered throughout Prussia had received top-secret orders from the military.
There were also high-strength 210 main cannons. From the model steel and the production of rifling to the design of the automatic projectile supply machine, the number of senior engineers used amounted to more than 60 people.
Even if you took out a screw, Kevin would be able to tell you a story. The Zhiyuan Warship that transcended the era of warship was a product of the combination of Xiao Letian's genius design ideas and the Prussian industry's strength.
However, even with the highest level of scientific research that he had used in Prussia, the overall stats of this Zhiyuan Warship was still not as high as the real one from Xiao Letian's previous life.
The gap of dozens of years was not something that could be made up for with just the power of toppling nations. The only thing Prussia could do was to meet Xiao Letian's requirements on the blueprint without any restriction, and not truly surpass it.
Twenty years of difference was enough for humans to amass a large amount of new technology. These technology powers were the wealth of all mankind. It was unrealistic for a Prussian to overtake them all.
With Prussia's industry and technology, creating a ship that was so difficult, with the Qing Dynasty's ability, would they be able to replicate this kind of battleship?
Of course not! This is what Xiao Letian said, to teach you, but you will never be able to do it! Isn't that a sad thing to do?
”One could imagine, that when the ambitious Zai Chun returned to the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City, and placed the dreams of the countless of powerful nations in his heart, in front of the entire people of the Great Qing Dynasty …”
”Haha …” Xiao Letian smiled regretfully. ”Then, he will discover that dreams are dreams, and that is not reality at all. In order to realize his dreams, he must rely on a powerful system! And how can this system be created? ”
”Unfortunately, I won't teach Zai Chun! Because no matter how much you teach him, he won't be able to learn it! ”
”Hiss …” Xiang Ying sucked in a breath of cold air, ”Master... Master! You... What are you after? Teaching Zai Chun some dreams that he would never realize? Why did you teach him when you knew he could never do it? Why is that? ”
Xiao Letian did not directly answer this question. Instead, he changed the topic and said, ”Later on, I will tell you why. Now, I have to give you another explanation!”
”Why should I teach Zai Chun a lot of military knowledge, help him train the troops, and impart knowledge of geopolitical affairs to him? I even need him to participate in every single battle!”
”Yes, many people do not understand what I am doing. They are definitely creating a big trouble for the Chinese! ”But I don't think so …”
