Valley Emperor

Saint Emperor Li Xuan saw the report from the Ordnance Department on the second day after the Ordnance Department received the telegram.

Not just the petrol two-wheeler report, but also a detailed analysis report from the Ordnance Department.

Just by reading this report, Li Xuan knew that the "gasoline two-wheeled vehicle" in the mouth of the Ordnance Department was the motorcycle in later generations.

The name is not important, the important thing is that the gasoline engine used in this car is very interesting. The cylinder volume is only 300 milliliters, but the maximum power reaches one horsepower, and the speed reaches 800 revolutions per minute.

It seems that there is only one horsepower, which is many times smaller than the engines used in the other two cars. However, the key point is that the cylinder volume of this engine is small, which means small size and light weight, otherwise it is impossible to directly install it in the dual The wheel is on.

In terms of power, it is quite good, and its body design is also full of praise from the Ordnance Department.

In particular, the good passability of this two-wheeled vehicle has allowed the people in the Ordnance Department to see the future of the mobile army. This thing is better than a bicycle and is more suitable for the mobile army.

Although the organization of the chariot division was upgraded from a division to a division only last year, in fact, the Datang Army began to look for more advanced mobile combat methods very early, especially after the Li's Bicycle Company developed and mass-produced bicycles a few years ago. .

At that time, the army noticed this thing. When this thing was first, it was only some young people who liked to play, but the military also tried to purchase a batch of equipment troops.

After this equipment, found the effect is not bad.

The bicycle is a thing that people can walk on by stepping on it. If it is on a hardened road, the riding speed is still very fast, even on dirt roads, it can be ridden, and even in places with poor terrain, it can also be pushed. .

And it can also carry goods in the back.

This means that when individual soldiers are maneuvering, they can carry more supplies.

The most important thing is that this thing is simple and reliable, no need to eat or drink, and no need to consider the adaptation of the climate environment, and the use cost is extremely low.

What did the Ordnance Department see?

See the possibility of replacing horses to some extent.

Animals such as mules and horses also need to be fed, and they eat a lot. Just feeding them is not a small amount. Any horse can eat more than several soldiers.

At the same time, horses also have a relatively large demand for the environment and climate. There are almost no horses of any breed that can use all climates. Some horses are suitable for plateaus, some horses use northern ice fields, and some horses can only be used in Central Asia.

Over the years, in order to meet the needs of horses in different regions, Datang has built military horse farms all over the world, and cultivated horses with different adaptability according to different climates and environments.

The most typical example of these years is to cultivate horses suitable for use in the southwestern part of the empire, as well as in the Southeast Asian Peninsula, Nanyang Islands and other regions. The empire has invested a lot of money and manpower. In addition to building the southwest horse farm in the southwest of the mainland, it is also in Luzon Province. , Malacca, Australia and other places to build horse farms to breed horses.

But until now, in fact, it has not been possible to cultivate a horse that is truly capable of combat and can adapt to the local climate environment at the same time.

It's hard even to breed suitable work horses!

In fact, it doesn't mean that you can't have strong adaptability, it means that you have strong adaptability, but the shoulder height is insufficient and the explosive power is not good.

But the Datang Army has a high vision. This cavalry unit is used to using native horses that are 1.5 or even 1.55 meters high at the shoulders. Now you let them ride horses that are 1.23 meters high. The cavalry uncles It's to be scolded.

As a result, the garrison troops deployed by the Datang Army in the Nanyang region have to replenish a lot of excellent warhorses every year, which is very expensive.

Later, when the army saw the bicycle, the first thing that came to mind was not a mobile unit, but a unit assigned to the troops stationed in the South China Sea, replacing horses to a certain extent.

After all, the Tang family has a great business, but it can't stand the large number of non-combat losses every year in some regions with harsh climates such as Nanyang.

Later, slowly, the concept of mobile troops came into being.

However, it still has not been formally established. This year, the gasoline engine was officially researched successfully. Zhongyuan Automobile took the lead in launching the first test car. After Hangzhou Power Machinery Co., Ltd. launched the first mass-produced car, Datang Army officially established the first car. A mobile unit.

The scale is small, but the size of a battalion, but it is directly under the Privy Council and acts as a test force for the mobile force.

The mobile unit is already equipped with a certain number of bicycles, and now it should be better if they are replaced by gasoline two-wheeled vehicles.

In this way, the people in the Ordnance Department will value it so much and report it as soon as possible.

After Li Xuan looked at it, although he felt that this thing was too primitive and not even practical, it was already a proper high-tech for the contemporary level of technology.

For the progress of science and technology, Li Xuan always has an attitude of encouragement, so naturally he will not say that this thing is too rubbish, not applicable at all, etc. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but instructs that you can purchase a batch appropriately Experimental equipment to explore the development model of mobile units.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the military pay for purchases to support.

Not only the gasoline two-wheeled vehicle, but also the gasoline four-wheeled vehicle Li Xuan also asked the military to purchase a few, as experimental equipment to be attached to the mobile unit.

However, it can only be limited to a small amount of purchases, experimental equipment, and the current price of internal combustion engines is still too expensive. The large-scale equipment department is realistic, and it is enough to explore the development model first.

As for now, Li Xuan feels that bicycles are more suitable, especially in the Nanyang region where the climate environment is relatively harsh and horses are difficult to adapt to, the tactical role of bicycles is higher.

In any case, Li Xuan personally instructed that experimental purchases can be made!

The people in the Ordnance Department paid great attention to it. After receiving the instructions of the Son of Heaven, they sent a telegram to Wuchang to start collecting information. At the same time, many officers of the Ordnance Department also set foot on the train to Wuchang.

Li Yubo didn't even know about all this.

Now he is still depressed.

Because he consulted the Royal Institute of Technology by telegram, the attempt to obtain the authorization of the petrol engine failed.

It can't be said that it was a failure. The Royal Institute of Technology did not reject him, nor did it embarrass him, but generously and directly agreed.

In fact, up to now, the Royal Institute of Technology has authorized more than ten manufacturers of gasoline engine patents, which basically looks like an open license.

But the problem is, the patent licensing fee is not low!

The patent licensing fee for the gasoline engine issued by the Royal Institute of Technology is already very cheap compared to the development cost, but it is still not affordable for Li Yubo.
