What else do you need to say?
Zhu Xianhai said in his heart that he knows the advantages of cars better than anyone else.

After all, he himself comes from the automobile age. Is the advantage of automobiles only in transportation?

Of course it's not just about shipping.

The advantage in transportation is only the advantage of the automobile over the horse-drawn carriage.

What is the more important advantage of the car?
It's industry!
The automobile industry is even the leader driving the modern manufacturing industry. The promotion effect of the development of the automobile industry on the manufacturing industry is unimaginable to people in this era. In the 20th century, it will even be called the crown on the industrial pyramid.It is an industry with a relatively long industrial chain. It can drive steel and machinery upstream, and energy, transportation, and financial services downstream. It also has an extremely huge influence on the national economy.

Otherwise, no one would realize it in this era.The power contained in the automobile industry is actually the same at the beginning of the development of many industries. Not many people know what kind of impact it will have on human society.

Just like in this era, countries are scrambling to develop railways. When railways and trains first appeared, they did not realize much of the changes they brought to the world.

But what about now?
Everyone knows the importance of the railway to the country, and the railway in this era is also the leader of industrial economic development.

What is different from other countries now is that apart from the railway, Nanhua has a new leader. Of course, no one will realize the power contained in this leader.

Because it does look very weak.

Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, this truck is not enough to look at at all. Its carrying capacity is not as good as a standard military carriage. Nanhua's military carriage uses an American-style western four-wheeled carriage, and its carrying capacity can reach five tons. It is the most advantageous weapon for the United States to conquer the West.

But what about "a truck"?

Only 1.2 tons!
But even if it is not enough to watch, this is a good start!
"That's right, what you said are all its advantages. As long as there is gasoline, it can keep driving. Even if the load is much less, it has the advantage of speed, and it has the advantage of using hours. advantage, it will definitely replace the carriage in the future, but..."

Taking a closer look at this truck, which looks a bit like a Ford A, Zhu Xianhai said.

"We must find a way to increase its load capacity. After all, not only the army needs a truck with a large load capacity, but the civilians also need it, um..."

Flipping through the materials, he carefully checked the drawing, and suddenly Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up, and he picked up a pen to revise.

"Can you try to improve the rear wheels and turn them into parallel double wheels? After adding two wheels, the load capacity should be improved."

What inspired him was not the trucks he had seen before, but some agricultural vehicles. They increased the load capacity by adding wheels.This is a simple and effective solution, as long as it can increase the load capacity.Then his scope of application will be wider and it will be easier to replace the carriage.

"Oh, what the lord said is very true. After the official returns to the company, let people test it. However, lord, if it is put into production, it will be called "No. [-] Car". Please also give the name to the lord."

Wang Jiamin came to the front line not just to tell the lord that the car has been built, what is the most important thing?
Of course I asked the lord to give me a name.

With the Lord's name, what kind of car will this car be in the future?

Although the car is still a car, its identity is completely different. As the manager of Nanhe Locomotive Company, Wang Jiamin has his own views and opinions on business.

In the future, with the change of the protagonist's identity, this car must also rise with the tide!
"Give a name, well, let me think about it!"

Take a look at the photos of "Trial Truck No. [-]" in the file folder. Although it looks a bit primitive and simple, after a little thought, Zhu Xianhai still writes.

"Call it 'liberation'!"

For the car name "Jiefang", most Chinese people have a special emotion, and Zhu Xianhai does the same. Of course, Zhu Xianhai gave it another meaning here.

"Liberation... Well, after it is finalized, it will be called "Liberation A-type truck". In the future, our army may drive it to liberate South America!"

This is what "liberation" means!

Liberation is not just a car, it is a desire.

Conqueror of South America?
Do not!
That's what the Spanish colonists did.

In Zhu Xianhai's view, he will be the liberator, not only the Indians living in this land, but also those European immigrants and their mixed-race descendants. liberated from the slavery of the trinity of warlords, landowners, and churches of the dilo system.

So, name this truck "Liberation".Absolutely no problems.

Well, Liberation... This can be regarded as a famous teacher!

Nodding in satisfaction, Zhu Xianhai looked at the name of the car he just wrote down and said with a smile.

"Well, let's trial-produce 100 Jiefang A-type trucks first, and hand them over to the army for trial use!"

Since it is the cause of the liberation of the South American people, how can the liberation of cars be absent?With a swipe of a pen, Zhu Xianhai issued the first car order in human history. Afterwards, he even had a lively discussion with him about the production of cars.

"When Buenos Aires is liberated, it may be quite shocking to enter the city with these cars first."

However, compared to the shock it brought to the world, Zhu Xianhai hopes that the car can really play its role in the war.

"The key is to win this battle! I don't know how the preparations are going!"

Zhu Xianhai's so-called "exchange idea" is actually to invest in airship troops and use airships to carry out air strikes on Trenklauken. The air strikes may not be able to completely destroy the fortress, but what is certain is that it will definitely bring great benefits to the people in the fortress. Unprecedented trauma, especially psychological trauma.

Since the cannon can't play a role for the time being, let's use the airship!
Through the observation of several combat operations of the airship unit for a while.Zhu Xianhai found that their thinking was still limited to a certain extent, so they gave full play to the power of the airship.

That being the case, let me remind you.

……

Wang Xinyue didn't even know that when he commissioned a steel company to cast the shell of a new type of bomb, a series of aerial bombs ranging from 10 kg to 2500 kg had already been produced in the arsenal in Nanhua. They did not design these aerial bombs. The blueprints provided by Zhu Xianhai, the so-called blueprints are the drawings he drew casually.

The technology of the iron bomb itself is very simple, and it is still an iron bomb of this era.

When the giant aerial bomb weighing 2500 kilograms was delivered to the airship yard by carriage, everyone including Wang Xinyue was stunned by the giant aerial bomb.

"This, how heavy is this bomb?"

"2500kg!"

The officer delivering the ammunition replied directly.

"This is a general-purpose bomb. The charge is 50% of the weight of the bomb, which is 1250 kilograms. Its detonation power is extremely powerful..."

Does this need an explanation?

1250 kg of explosives!

It is hard to imagine how powerful the explosion of so many explosives is, but they know very well that the 120mm and 150mm charges thrown in the past are only about 10%.

Even for a 10-inch Krupp cannon, the shell weighs hundreds of kilograms, the charge is only a few tens of kilograms, and the charge coefficient is even less than 8%, which is quite normal in shells.Aerial bombs do not need to consider problems such as chamber pressure. The bomb shell can be made thinner, and the charge of high-explosive bombs can even reach 75%!In other words, it is simply an airdropped explosive package.

The power of such an explosive package dropped from the air is naturally extremely amazing.

"Team, captain, what are we going to vote for next?"

Xia Weidong couldn't help swallowing when he saw the bomb that was a bit shockingly large in size.

"If such explosives are thrown down, I'm afraid there will be few people in a radius of several miles who can breathe!"

pant……

It might not be possible to see a single living person within a radius of several miles.Of course, it must be an exaggeration to say so, but looking at such a big bomb, no one would doubt it even if it was a little more exaggerated.

Touching the giant bomb with a length of several meters, Wang Xinyue felt that his design was simply not worth mentioning, because the bomb was really huge!
Who the hell could have imagined making such a big bomb!
You must know that a big guy like this is something he never dared to think about.Now someone not only thought of it, but also made it.

"Imagination is limited, really limited..."

Although Wang Xinyue knew that the airship could carry 2.8 tons, he never thought of using it to drop such a huge bomb. After all, it is too big...

This is a giant bomb weighing 2500 kilograms!

If this is cast, how spectacular the scene will be!
"However, Captain, our bomb drop window seems to be much smaller than it. If we want to drop it, we probably need to expand the bomb drop bay."

As soon as Xia Weidong finished speaking, Wang Xinyue said.

"change!"

"what?"

Xia Weidong, who was a little confused, didn't even react for a while.

"Change what?"

"Change to the pop-up window, and try to throw this big guy down within two days..."

Wang Xinyue patted the behemoth beside him vigorously, and said a little excitedly.

"With such a big guy, if you don't use it, then you will be really sorry to God."

No, I'm not sorry to God, but I'm sorry to those Argentines. It's definitely a blessing that they were able to die under such a huge bomb.

"This, it's not easy to change, this bomb is so big..."

Xia Weidong looked at the bomb in a bit of embarrassment. It was a bit difficult to put such a big bomb into the airship, let alone drop it.

"It's not easy to change, we have to find a way to change."

Wang Xinyue's gaze became a little fanatical, like a boy seeing a new toy, and he was completely immersed in this big toy...
