Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Originally, Zhou Shixiong had studied the brief history of domestication of large animals and knew that the habits of domestic animals were very different from those of wild animals of the same kind. The main reason came from the primitive people who first domesticated wild animals. They used the most barbaric way to define these animals.  For the purpose of domestication, after tens of thousands of years of development, the populations that are most suitable for human needs have been retained. As a result, the living habits of most domestic animals today are very different from their wild cousins.

    Zhou Shixiong has the assistance of nanorobots to genetically modify livestock. Although it is impossible to create new species in large quantities, it is still no problem to create a few new cattle and new sheep.  It's just that if you want to cultivate a species that can reproduce naturally, it may not be possible in a short time. According to the data provided by the chip, there is no natural evolution for more than ten or even dozens of generations. It is almost impossible to stabilize a new species.  possible.  [com]

    Zhou Shixiong calculated on his fingers that an ordinary buffalo must be at least three years old before breeding. If one generation is calculated every three years, it would take thirty years to complete the first cycle of the new species with the help of golden fingers. This also depends on nature.  After several generations of breeding, have the new genes been completely preserved? If so, congratulations, you can name this new species. If not, congratulations, your retirement time has been extended and there is a lot of work waiting for you.

    According to the history of the Ming Dynasty that Zhou Shixiong learned in his previous life, Emperor Chongzhen could still play for more than ten years, and it was estimated that he would not be able to survive the birth of Zhou Shixiong's new breed of cattle.  I was originally full of confidence in cultivating new breeds of livestock, but after careful analysis I realized that I was having a long dream.  Zhou Shixiong has indeed transformed hundreds of war horses and dozens of elephants. The problem is that he does not know whether the offspring of these war horses and elephants can inherit the excellent genes of their parents. If not, does Zhou Shixiong want to transform the war horses and elephants one by one?  elephant?

    How many horses are needed to form an army? How many horses can Zhou Shixiong transform with the less than 700,000 nanorobots he has left?  Thinking that robots would also be lost, Zhou Shixiong decided that his plan to mass-produce biochemical war horses, elephants and oxen was shelved.

    "It's better to keep this golden finger and transform a few more people. No matter whether the descendants are strong or not, at least this generation can help." Suddenly, Zhou Shixiong began to pay attention to the Sanbai Jinyiwei who had not paid much attention to him. He planned to return to  Pingxiangzhou must first conduct a census of these students to develop their abilities and give itself more helpers.

    With two of the three roads blocked, Zhou Shixiong could only leave his hope to the option of a partial truck.  The invention of the sidecar was to allow the infantry to have a certain degree of defense in the wild, which could effectively block the impact of war horses and arrow shots.  The new sidecar modified by Shen Fu was equipped with firearms and replaced the original archers.  Zhou Shixiong was once obsessed with making car models, and the invention of the centipede car was inseparable from Zhou Shixiong's creativity.

    As a modern person, Zhou Shixiong knows that vehicles need power, and power not only refers to the traction provided by livestock, but also various forms of power provided by internal combustion engines in response to needs.  Whether or not an internal combustion engine can be manufactured is not important. For Zhou Shixiong, the most important thing is that the power can be installed in the car.  Zhou Shixiong spread out his pen and paper to design a new type of side-by-side truck that puts the power inside the car.

    In this era, the only things that can provide power for vehicles are cattle, horses, donkeys and mules. Due to the problems of domestication and living environment, elephants are super powerful animals that very few people can use as traction for vehicles.  Zhou Shixiong didn't care so much. He designed a matching vehicle for each large livestock. But after seeing his design drawings, Zhou Shixiong sighed sadly again.  It is difficult for such a large vehicle to find suitable roads to drive normally, and as a war tool, a vehicle with built-in power must be able to adapt to most terrains.

    Tracked vehicles can meet the requirements, but where can I find the tracks?  If the tracks are made of metal, the horse will definitely not be strong enough to push the vehicle, and the oxen will barely be able to move.  But just pushing the vehicle is meaningless. The vehicle must be equipped with combatants and weapons. Once these loads are added, Zhou Shixiong knows that only elephants can pull this kind of vehicle without testing.

    ?? Okay, even if you can only use elephants to make it, just use it as a secret weapon.  Zhou Shixiong made up his mind to build this new type of chariot. He first designed the vehicle according to needs, and then reduced the load one by one based on the actual power provided by the elephant.  After a month of fussing, a brand new drawing appeared.  The shape of the vehicle is similar to a common minibus, because to give the elephant enough space, it is not possible to be too big.

    With the elephant inside, the combatants can only be arranged outside. Four crossbows are installed at the four corners of the roof, and a bed crossbow is placed in the middle to ensure powerful long-range attack power.  In addition, a circle of sword shields is installed around the carriage, and the person who is desperate for his life can hit it upwards and be killed.  The front end of the vehicle is the cab. How can a car that cannot change direction come from Zhou Shixiong's shooting? The crossbar type direction change controller is Zhou Shixiong's final design product.  He considered that it was impossible for an elephant to turn in a short distance, so he used a crossbar to fix the maximum steering angle to avoid rollover accidents caused by operational errors.

    AlthoughAlthough the actual car has not been made, Zhou Shixiong can basically judge the effectiveness of this kind of car.  When encountering infantry, they are guaranteed to be completely defeated, and they can siege cities and plunder villages without any effort. They can effectively curb cavalry charging into formation, and can also carry out short-range counterattacks.  These many advantages made Zhou Shixiong smile happily, but he knew that this kind of car could not withstand the bombardment of medium-sized artillery.  Zhou Shixiong has a headache with artillery. Today's artillery has almost no hit rate. Only a handful of artillery can achieve a hit rate of about half under the operation of experienced artillerymen, if the target is large enough.

    There were only a few people like Sun Yuanhua who could both build and fire cannons in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Shixiong had no place to poach him even if he wanted to.  At this stage, the only way to deal with artillery attacks is to pray to God and don't let the flying iron lumps take a fancy to you.  If you want to build a chariot that can withstand the bombardment of a three-pounder, you must at least lay a layer of steel plate on the outer layer of the body. Zhou Shixiong still doesn't know whether an elephant can pull such a heavy vehicle.

    Of the wheels of the first-generation chariot, only the steering wheels used axles, and the load wheels at the back were installed directly on the carriage, as long as they could bear the weight of the vehicle body.  Zhou Shixiong himself was not satisfied with this design and immediately began to optimize the design.  The load-bearing wall structure was replaced with a frame structure, and the frame was made of metal. The wheels were placed on the frame. The body could be modified as needed. Zhou Shixiong was quite satisfied with the design of this second-generation tank.

    "Brother Hongchang, the elephant team is here, are you ready?" Wan Qi'an walked into Zhou Shixiong's courtyard and saw Zhou Shixiong sunbathing. In fact, Zhou Shixiong was mentally calculating how much steel and what size was needed for the chariot frame.  The material is most suitable.

    "There is nothing to prepare, just bring these cattle and sheep." Zhou Shixiong went to his landlord Lei Chen and told him that he was leaving Longtan Village for a while. He took the cattle and sheep with him and gave the other things to Lei Chen.

    "Brother Hongchang, where are you going?" For a herdsman who raises livestock, the quilts, tables and chairs at home are a piece of property. Zhou Shixiong gave them to Lei Chen so generously, of course Lei Chen had to ask what was going on.

    "This friend of mine helped me find a long-term job in Pingxiangzhou. You see, I'm not young anymore. Even if I have a long-term job, I need to find a wife when I settle down. There are three ways to be unfilial and have no offspring. I don't want to be an unfilial son.  "Zhou Shixiong made a joke, said goodbye to Lei Chen, and drove the cattle and sheep out of Longtan Village.

    "Master, it's great to see you." Zhou Wu belongs to the higher-ups, and it is necessary to know that Zhou Shixiong faked his death. Guan Chongguang is worried that if several major generals are kept in the dark, they will easily have other ideas. It doesn't matter if others are confused. These few control  People in the army cannot be in chaos.

    "Come on, why should I cry without you?" Although Zhou Shixiong could change back to his original appearance, he didn't want others to know that he had such an ability. Therefore, in addition to checking the token and password, Zhou Shixiong also had to tell the story of the first time he met him.  What did Zhou Wu wear?  Wan Qi'an heard Zhou Shixiong say that he was wearing nothing when he and Zhou Wu met for the first time, and he laughed so hard that he held his stomach and twitched.  It is estimated that Zhou Wu was so enthusiastic because he was afraid that Zhou Shixiong would settle the score.

    "The ladies are all looking forward to your return. No, as soon as the funeral was done, the eldest lady kicked me out to pick you up." Although the imperial decree has not yet been issued, You Min's title has been implemented as the eldest lady.  , Zhou Shixiong thought, it would be so quick for this mistress to become a full-time wife!

    It was a safe journey and I returned to Pingxiangzhou in late October. No one greeted me this time. Everyone pretended not to know Zhou Shixiong.  To be honest, only Wan Qian and Zhou Wu can be said to know Zhou Shixiong now. Hu Guangli, who has met Zhou Shixiong many times, does not know that this is his boss.

    They settled in a courtyard behind the Baiyun City Commander¡¯s Office. That night, several women, led by You Min, sneaked into the courtyard and were captured by Zhou Shixiong on the spot.  "Ms. sir, what's your face?" In front of You Min, Li Jie and others, Zhou Shixiong performed a face-changing magic. In order not to scare his woman, Zhou Shixiong only changed two faces.

    "This is a secret technique that can change into another appearance for a long time. Once it is fixed, it cannot be changed. You still have to be familiar with this face in the future. In addition, you cannot tell anyone about this matter. Cheng Peng and  Even the next generation can't talk about it." Zhou Shixiong sent several women away with a trick, then changed back to a new look and waited for the arrival of Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng. The two of them had a lot to say.

    "Sir," Guan Zhongguang started to speak, but Zhou Shixiong waved his hand to stop him, "Don't call me sir, from now on you will call me Hongchang. I don't want to expose my flaws because I'm not used to it." Zhou Shixiong didn't know how long he would remain anonymous. In order to avoid  How long did it take for him to accept Emperor Chongzhen's entanglement?

    "Yes, Hongchang. This plan seems to be safe, but in fact it misses a lot of things. The expressions of the chieftains around Pingxiangzhou have changed again. Although they have not turned against each other, it is obvious that they want to keep a distance." Guan Chongguang  Some of them are not used to being called by this name, so they have difficulty speaking.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? I hope you can be a good fit, and I hope you can be taken care of!
