Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

With Lin Yi's guidance, the first Xuanwu car was made.

This is modified based on a bicycle. The wheels and some handlebars have been modified, and it is divided into primary and secondary seats. Only the primary driver can control the direction.

On the top of the Xuanwu chariot, there is a rotatable observation port. As long as some crossbows or small catapults are placed on the observation port, it can become a long-range weapon!

The most elite soldiers were selected to test drive the vehicle. Although it felt a bit stuffy inside the Xuanwu car, the peace of mind of being surrounded by steel was unparalleled!

The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were all very excited to see what was in the design become a reality!

"Boss Lin, this Xuanwu car is good enough!"

As they spoke, they looked at Lin Yi, only to see Lin Yi shaking his head.

"It needs to be tested."

Lin Yi waved his hand and asked the soldiers to come out.

He then ordered the general to command the soldiers to shoot at the Xuanwu chariot with various bows and crossbows, and ordered the soldiers to kill at close range with spears and swords.

After such ferocious destruction, Lin Yi climbed into the Xuanwu car to observe.

The Xuanwu car was riddled with holes, but it was still able to move overall. However, there was an arrow stuck in the observation port, which was very close to the driver's seat.

“It still needs to be revised.”

"What I want is that no weapons can harm the people inside."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he began to replan the design of the outer iron plate.

After all, current ironmaking technology is limited, and it is impossible to create something with ridiculous hardness. Therefore, he redesigned it based on existing materials.

The iron plate was divided into two layers, with various folded iron sheets stuck together in the middle, and then some cement was added.

As the weight increases, the support is improved, the wheels are thicker, and more support structures are added inside.

Two days later, the real Xuanwu car was finally made!

This time, no matter how the soldiers used swords, guns, sticks and clubs to destroy it, or how they shot with bows and crossbows, the Xuanwu chariot remained motionless!

And everything is safe inside!

"Okay, I can hand it in now."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he took out the weapon mounting device he had researched, and used the outer edge of the wheels to turn it into a rotating "turret".

If we put aside the power and weapons, this thing should be called an "armored vehicle", right?

After all, a bicycle is also a car!

The test had just been completed when Prince Qing and Huangfu Qingling came over to check on the progress.

As soon as they arrived at the military camp, they saw such a huge iron turtle and were immediately excited.

How many days has it been?

"Your Highness, the A-type Black Tortoise Chariot has been completed and has just been attacked by various weapons."

Lin Yi, looking slovenly, took the lead.

This look made Huangfu Qingling cover her mouth and laugh secretly.

"Then let me see!"

Prince Qing couldn't wait to order his soldiers to attack again.

This time even Molotov cocktails were used, exhausting all the offensive methods available to the infantry in the barracks.

The Xuanwu chariot is still intact.

Although there are many scars on the surface, the inside... is safe and sound!

"How's the speed?"

Prince Qing nodded slightly, very satisfied with the defensive performance of the Xuanwu Chariot.

After saying that, he took the lead and entered the car, and started the Xuanwu car with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi used some principles of force-saving levers and added switchable gears like those in a speed-controlled bicycle, so the starting speed was very fast.

As the gear goes up, the top speed is not slow either!

Prince Qing was able to see what was happening ahead through the tiny and densely packed holes on the front.

If you stand back, you can turn the observation port above to see the surrounding situation.

Overall, this thing would satisfy King Qing even if it wasn't equipped with weapons.

"I heard from my men that you also designed weapons for it?"

Prince Qing asked as he rode back.

"Of course, if there were no weapons, this would be a real iron turtle!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, they had already made a circle and returned to the training ground in the military camp.

The people from the Ministry of Industry put up the newly made "turret", which didn't weigh much.

It's actually a medium-sized slingshot.

There is also a roller that can "load and fire" the slingshot in a safe position.

"You can put Molotov cocktails on it, or you can put some stones and arrows on it."

Following Lin Yi's introduction, he turned the turret to the target on the right, took a bow and arrow and placed it in the launcher next to it.

As he pressed the button, the accuracy of this "turret" was no less than that of a well-trained soldier!

"Brother, how many people do you have?"

"How many Xuanwu vehicles are needed?"

Although Huangfu Qingling did not go in personally, just standing there and watching was enough to shock her.

"If not all of them are transferred, there will be about 8,000 people."

Prince Qing has also taken into consideration the public security issues in Liangzhou City and some surrounding cities these days, so he is not planning to take his entourage with him.

"Three to four people per Type A Xuanwu vehicle."

"I also have Type B and Type C."

Lin Yi explained, "We can use one hundred Type A Xuanwu vehicles as the vanguard, and then use Type B vehicles to transport troops and attack."

"There's also Type C that can transport food and supplies."

Upon hearing this, Prince Qing was stunned.

A set?

Then... this army really doesn't need horses!

"How long will it take to build these?"

Seeing Prince Qing stunned, Huangfu Qingling asked.

"That depends on the level of the military's craftsmen."

"If we can follow the manufacturing methods of Niujia Village, we should be able to build everything in less than two months."

Lin Yi calculated the time. After all, the prototype car needed more time to polish.

If there are enough materials and enough craftsmen in the army... we can actually exceed the task.

"Lin Yi, how much money do you want?"

Prince Qing spoke slowly, saying that he would accept any amount of money.

If he only had thirty or fifty of these Type A Xuanwu chariots, he would dare to duel head-on with the King of Qi's army!

This is not only a bonus of courage, but also the confidence brought by Lin Yi's new equipment!

"No charge."

Lin Yi laughed casually, "Now that the King of Qi is rebelling, I'm still asking for money. I'm afraid that would be too heartless. Besides, all the materials used are from the military, so there's no reason for me to accept money."

Upon hearing this, Prince Qing nodded slightly, and he admired such a conscious young man even more.

"By the way, Your Highness Prince Qing, if you want to attack the city, it's best to focus on inciting the people."

"It will take me quite some time to build these things. The people under the King of Qi's rule will probably oppose him. If I can persuade them to submit, the King of Qi will probably lose power."

Lin Yi originally thought that this was to help Prince Qing, but it made Huangfu Qingling feel a little worried.

"Okay, let me lend you some good words!"

After that, the army began to use iron ore in large quantities.

They also brought some Molotov cocktails from the border as equipment for their subsequent march south.

Lin Yi left the military camp after developing two models of auxiliary Xuanwu vehicles, Type B and Type C.

The first thing he did when he returned to the entertainment city was to take a shower.

I'm almost getting moldy after being cooped up in the room in the military camp for a few days!

The moment I soaked in the pool, all my fatigue disappeared.
