C3174 Dawn in the Age of Mechanization (2/2)
This kind of kinetic energy could control the sticks and stones, effectively killing the enemy. This was also a type of release of firepower, very primitive but also very effective.
As humans became more and more intelligent, they understood the principle of energy storage from the elasticity of the animal tendon. That was why they had bows, crossbow arrows, and a catapult … Wait for ranged weapons.
The deeper one explored, the more energy humans could no longer be restricted to the use of their bodies. Instead, they focused their attention on external objects, using the fire from nature to kill their enemies.
Oil and wood could be used for fire attacks, while raw gunpowder could provide explosive energy. Once modern chemical technology developed, the power of chemical explosives would be even more powerful, causing humans to be able to kill even more.
The history of pursuing firepower was an evolutionary history of technological development!
When one reached the Second Industrial Revolution, humans no longer only pursued the power of fire, but pursued the power of war to an even more terrifying degree, namely mechanization.
In this era, there was no internal combustion engine, so there were no tanks or aircraft. However, this did not mean that humans could not understand the immense power of mechanization.
For example, a book Zhiyuan Warship. If you use a scientist's perspective to look at this huge monster, then you will find that this was a massive killing machine formed from countless parts.
The strength of his body required the collaboration of hundreds of trained sailors and crew to display!
At this time, what was the important target for testing Zhiyuan Warship's sailors? Not brave, tough, fanatical, bloody, violent, cruel...
In order for the Zhiyuan Warship to display its greatest lethality, it required the accurate control and perfect coordination of the entire crew!
I don't need you to come up with something on the spur of the moment, and I don't need you to be hot-blooded.
Just take a good look at the steam pressure gauge and finish all kinds of operations accurately. One is one, two is two, calmness and accuracy are the only things you need to do.
The time was precise to the point where even the wind was needed to calculate the trajectory of the naval gun. Any individual's disorderly performance was the biggest taboo.
”In other words, the mainstream of future wars will be a close combination of human and machinery. Humanity will have to lose many of its natural attributes and become mechanized, thus being able to keep up with the operation speed of machinery!”
”Soldiers need to become more mechanized. It's best if every soldier is as calm as a pocket watch made in Switzerland, accurate and accurate!”
”The future humans will be mechanized, and the machinery will be nourished by human flesh and blood and will become humanized!”
”This is the future world, the right direction for the development of war. Mechanization will gradually replace the important role of humans …”
”My God! Xiao Letian was using this kind of cruel and inhuman military training to store the ”inhuman” soldiers who could adapt to the operation of the machinery in advance! That must be it! ”
