Chapter 30 Steam Mechanical Dog

What Yan Jian saw was actually just the tip of the iceberg of the equipment of the Ming army.

Jinyiwei is not a regular army after all, more inclined to the nature of the imperial guards.

Therefore, Jinyiwei will be equipped with some new equipment that the ordinary Ming army has not had time to replace, but they will not have a complete heavy equipment logistics like the ordinary Ming army.

Jin Yiwei is more of an individual elite route.

For example, the steam chariots and heavy artillery equipped by the frontier army, the giant war fortress driven by sophisticated gears, connecting rods, and transmissions, and the steam airship that can carry out high-altitude bombing, Jin Yiwei does not have it.

If Yan Jian was allowed to see the equipment of the Daming Frontier Army, he might be stunned on the spot.

But just the individual equipment displayed by Jin Yiwei was enough to make Yan Jian feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

No, I haven't followed Peng Ke for a few steps yet, a strange thing has attracted Yan Jian's attention again.

In the southeast corner of Jinyiwei's temporary barracks, there were a few middle-aged men who were dressed completely differently from the soldiers. They were dressed as literati and wore mechanical glasses. They were fiddling with a bunch of machines.

It didn't take long for those machines to be assembled into mechanical dogs about half a person's height in their hands!
The appearance of these mechanical dogs is extremely mechanical and violent!
The mechanical dog made of many metal parts is not wrapped in iron.

The tightly fitted and precisely meshed gears and bearings, the chains that run regularly, and a bunch of springs that are under mechanical pressure, constantly depressing and restoring, can be clearly and directly seen through the appearance!
This picture is very visually impactful!
Yan Jian could even see the operation of various metal parts through the gap between the gear and the chain.

The strong contrast between the rough shape and the precise structure inside gives Yan Jian a unique feeling, and the scalp feels a little numb!
When these middle-aged men installed steam engines with cylinders on the tails of these mechanical dogs, accompanied by the roar of machinery, the sound of gears running, and the sound of steel colliding, these mechanical dogs seemed to be alive. As if getting up, it began to move with a click.

This extremely shocking scene made Yan Jian couldn't help taking three steps back, and asked tremblingly, "What is this... like a demon from hell!"

Indeed, the mechanical dog, which is completely made of various mechanical parts, has a cold metal texture all over its body, coupled with the skeleton like a skeleton, it really has a penetrating feeling.

Peng Ke smiled, and said with emotion: "This is also something new researched by Mo Academy, steam mechanical dog."

"This mechanical dog was developed by combining the Mohist mechanism. Through the connecting rod on the back, the soldier sits on the dog's back and can operate it very flexibly."

"There are many terrains that are not suitable for cavalry, such as this kind of mountain road. Soldiers can ride steam mechanical dogs along the mountain for reconnaissance and security work."

"This steam mechanical dog is particularly flexible. It can run as fast as a Xiliang high-headed horse. It has flexible four claws and can walk in a very narrow environment. It is not difficult to climb mountains and ridges."

"In terms of flexibility, it is much stronger than a horse, like a tiger in the mountains, it can come and go freely."

"And on the head of the mechanical dog, there is also a fire bomb launcher for self-defense, which can hold up to three thunderbolt bombs, and the lethality is still good."

Yan Jian's lips trembled in disbelief.

"This is simply a creation of the gods!"

"How did Mo Yuan manage to splice together a bunch of cold metals to make them move so flexibly?"

Peng Ke shook his head with a smile, and said in disapproval: "Master Yan, this is not a creation of some god, but a group of mortals with their wisdom."

"It's called, science!"

"Technology is used by people, and manpower will surely win the sky."

"With the help of steam technology and mechanical power, human beings can also possess the infinite abilities of gods, can change the world, and can even defeat nature!"

"You die-hards from the old days can't understand the charm of technology!"

Yan Jian opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't refute anything.

The three views of martial arts supremacy that he has built in his heart since he was a child are constantly collapsing at this moment.
Speaking of which, this steam mechanical dog has nothing to do with Penke, and it didn't appear because he provided some inspiration plan for future generations to Moyuan.

This is completely the proud work of the Mohists in this world.
Mechanism is originally the housekeeping skill of the Mohists. All kinds of flexible mechanism products made of mortise and tenon structure and wood, starting from the flying wooden kite made by Mozi back then, the Mohists have been rushing in the direction of mechanism art all the way.

Now that there is steam technology, and the iron and steel smelting blast furnaces are also mature, a large amount of iron and steel has appeared, which has also brought a new path for the Mohist mechanism technique.

The steam mechanical dog is a new type of steam mechanism beast developed with the participation of the Mohist mechanism lineage!
This is also a new type of equipment, which is in the stage of small-scale equipment testing.

As part of Emperor Hongwu's imperial guards, Jin Yiwei naturally got some.

Now Peng Ke just took it for a test to see if it was as easy to use as Moyuan said.

After passing by a few testers, Penke stopped and asked, "How is it? There is nothing wrong with these steam mechanical dogs. Can they be put into use later?"

The leading tester from the Mo Academy pushed the pair of mechanical glasses in front of him, which were very similar to the pilot goggles that Penke had seen in his previous life, to his forehead, and said to Penke with a smile: "My lord, it's already gone!" Tested, everything works, ready to use."

Peng Ke nodded, and waved his hand to call Wu Yong, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei Songjiang Mansion who cooperated with this operation, and said: "Call together more than a hundred generals from all households to prepare for the pre-war meeting!"

Five minutes later, in the large tent of the Chinese army that was temporarily set up, thirty hundred households, three deputy thousand households, and three thousand households gathered here.

Peng Ke sat at the head of the big tent, holding a waist knife. After briefly explaining the offensive arrangement to them, he said with a cold expression: "Today you only have one task, to take down the Dian Cang faction!"

"Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"

"Now, check the time."

Peng Ke stretched out his hand, took out a fine mechanical pocket watch produced by Cheng's Watch Company, and checked the time.

"It's three quarters and five minutes before the end of the hour. After half an hour, attack the mountain!"

The three thousand households also took out a pocket watch from their pockets one after another, checked the time with each other, and after making sure that everyone's pocket watches were on time, they responded in unison!
"Go get ready." Penke waved his hand, and all his subordinates withdrew from the tent and went to assemble the soldiers.

Looking at Yan Jian, who had been standing in the corner of the big tent, with a disillusioned face and a bewildered look.

Peng Ke said with a smile: "Master Yan, are you ready to accept the baptism from technology?"
