Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming had said long ago that he wanted the arsenal to produce tanks at all costs.

Tanks require a lot of materials and advanced technology, which they cannot make at the moment.

But it is still possible to use internal combustion engines to make some small mobile tanks on the battlefield.

It is not afraid of artillery fire, moves quickly, and can kill enemy troops on a large scale.

Such a weapon is equivalent to a mobile fortress, which will surely terrify the enemy.

"I've already made a batch, I'll give these to you first."

Qin Ming's early arrangement of troops under Wu Qingye's command does not mean that the troops at Bailong Pass and Changning Pass will be weakened.

On the contrary, with chariots, their combat effectiveness will be stronger than imagined.

"Okay, when can it be delivered?"

Liu Chuang rubbed his hands with a hint of excitement on his face.

After the things are delivered, he still needs a few days of training before he can deploy them on the battlefield.

"They will deliver the parts today, and then several craftsmen will help you assemble them."

"no problem!"

After informing Liu Chuang of the matter, Qin Ming and he took a group of troops to the station where the train was parked.

Although he was the one who ordered them to conduct research, apart from coming up with the idea of ​​the internal combustion engine, Qin Ming did not participate in the production of many tanks afterwards.

So even he didn't know what these chariots actually looked like.

"It's here! It's here!"

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting for the train to arrive.

The station guard who was waiting for them from a distance suddenly waved to them.

Qin Ming looked up and saw a long freight train speeding towards him from a distance.

Dozens of craftsmen stood at the front of the train.

These people are all Qin Ming's core internal combustion engine project personnel.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing them arrive, Qin Ming personally stepped forward to greet them.

The leading masters hurried down and saluted Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, we have already made the chariot you need!"

As they were talking, they took out a drawing that was covered with densely packed annotations.

The entire drawing appears extremely complicated.

Liu Chuang stretched his head, glanced at the drawings, and his eyes rolled back immediately.

"What the hell is this? It's so damn complicated."

"You claim to be literate and have already started studying, but you still can't concentrate on reading the blueprints?"

Qin Ming glanced at him and smiled faintly.

Since they began to establish schools in various places and recruit talents from all over the world.

Liu Chuang also followed the trend and went to study in some nearby schools.

However, everyone's requirements for him were very simple. They only needed him to be able to read and write, understand maps and intelligence, and understand how to translate the secret code created by Qin Ming.

But even if it was just this, Liu Chuang had already tried his best.

Even now I am not very proficient in it.

Hearing Qin Ming's question, he scratched his head and said:

"Oh, this drawing is not on the same level of difficulty as reading. You should take a look at it."

Qin Ming took the drawing and looked at it carefully.

Only then did he realize how creative his craftsmen were.

Because the tracks were difficult to make, they directly replaced the tank tracks originally described by Qin Ming with solid rubber tires.

This type of tire is very easy to use. It doesn’t matter if it is stabbed by a knife or a gun, it can still move.

Although there will be wear and tear, they can be replaced when they are worn out. After all, it is easy to make rubber products in the factory.

In terms of shock absorption effect, the craftsmen adopted the design of more than a dozen shock-absorbing springs, which are arranged very reasonably. The vibrations coming from all directions can be effectively offset, and the problem of chariot bumps was solved with a sledgehammer.

As for the outer shell, they used an iron shell with a rubber inner layer. When external attacks hit it, the combination of rubber and a part of cotton can absorb a lot of noise and will not deafen people.

Weapons, equipment, internal combustion engines and other things are still the same as before.

It may sound a bit outrageous, but they still haven't made any breakthroughs in the technology of internal combustion engines, so they have to use various alternative methods to produce tanks.

Fortunately, the effect is still good.

While Qin Ming was looking at the blueprints, dozens of craftsmen and hundreds of soldiers had already assembled the chariot.

This is a chariot the size of a carriage, with spikes all around it and small openings on it that can be opened automatically to facilitate the installation of firearms and artillery.

It can accommodate up to eight people, one of whom is responsible for driving, and the others are responsible for bombing them after the tank rushes into the enemy position.

“The distribution is very reasonable.”

Liu Chuang nodded with satisfaction. Since the advent of the firearms era, their troops have also begun to fight on the battlefield in the form of small-scale combat.

This can help them maximize the effectiveness of their firearms.

Sometimes the role a small team can play on the battlefield is beyond everyone's imagination.

"Go up and give it a try."

Qin Ming asked Liu Chuang and several captains to step forward and try to control it.

Soon, the chariot began to move slowly.

As a buzzing sound was heard and black smoke rose, the speed of the chariot began to gradually increase.

On the empty training ground, several chariots began to move, swaying from side to side.

"So fast?"

Gradually, Qin Ming discovered something was wrong.

Somehow, this group of people managed to speed up the chariot.

On such a rough road, the speed is even faster than that of a train.

"Yes, it not only has an internal combustion engine, but we also added a steam engine. The two engines drive the six wheels together, which is more efficient. We just need to add more fuel."

After several craftsmen explained the advantages and disadvantages of the chariot to Qin Ming, Qin Ming thought these were minor problems.

This chariot can be said to be the highest product of Qin Ming's existing technology, integrating advantages in all aspects.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if this chariot was given to the Northern Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty for research, they would not be able to replicate it within a few years.

"Your Majesty, the Xishan troops have taken action!"

Just as several people were trying to practice controlling the chariot, Chenpi suddenly came back from afar.

Because there will be no more major battles here, they handed over the affairs of Henglan Pass to several Western Region generals who stayed behind in the past few days.

Chen Pi returned to Bailong Pass and Changning Pass, joined Liu Chuang, and resisted Yan Guangshou's attack.

"really."

Qin Ming was not surprised by this.

It was a very correct decision to withdraw troops early to support Wu Qingye.

"Your Majesty, Lao Wu has always remembered what you said. Until now, he has not dared to fight against those Northern Dynasty troops. You see..."

At this time, Liu Chuang walked up and spoke tentatively.

Qin Ming had previously said that he wanted to annex the Northern Dynasty's troops.

The other side has a large number of people. If they can be used by the Southern Dynasty, it will surely relieve a lot of pressure on them.

Hearing this, Qin Ming sighed.

"The Yan army is about to be defeated, and the Northern Dynasty is still in this state. It seems that we have to put some pressure on them."

"Send a message to Wu Qingye, I will personally lead the army to the Western Hills tomorrow to fight the Northern Dynasty!"
