Lin Yuan asked, "Tea cup? What do you mean?"

Chen Fei said: "What I'm talking about is not the teacup, but the water in the teacup. Afghanistan is a landlocked country with many mountains. What this country lacks most is water. If we build several water pipelines from Central Asia to Afghanistan, Can their king be unhappy?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's indeed a good way to transport water resources. How to do this? I need an envoy to go to Afghanistan."

Fade Chen patted his chest and said with a smile, "I can go to Afghanistan!"

Lin Yuan was puzzled for a while, and said, "Are you going to Afghanistan? Is it possible?"

Fade Chen smiled and said: "What's wrong? In our era, I had carried out military missions in Afghanistan, and I had a certain understanding of the terrain there, and I was familiar with the customs and habits. Although the time was more than 100 years apart, the terrain and Customs won't change much."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, you immediately take your subordinates to fly back to the Western Province, from there, enter Afghanistan through the Wakhan Corridor, and discuss this matter with the King of Afghanistan. The base of the Plateau Combat Division is in Kyrgyzstan. , is relatively close to Afghanistan, and they will fully cooperate with you."

Fade Chen agreed to come down and leave, when Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Fade Chen stopped and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Come on, let me show you something, maybe you can use it."

Fade Chen asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You will know when you arrive."

Chen Fei knew that he would not answer if he asked Lin Yuan again, so he stopped asking. He followed Lin Yuan out of the house and came to a yard. There were a few huge pieces of thatch in the yard, and something was covered under the thatch , looked like a big box, Fade Chen pointed to the sheet and asked, "Is this what you want to show me?"

Lin Yuan nodded, walked up to the sheet and lifted the sheet, and saw a motorcycle-like machine inside, but the strange thing was that this motorcycle-like machine had no wheels, but had four legs, and a A big box, Fade Chen couldn't help asking: "What is this weird thing?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, an officer came running from a distance. This officer looked only in his 30s, but he carried two bars of three stars on his shoulders. His rank was colonel. Lin Yuan promoted the rank system in the entire army in 1898. , the military ranks are divided into three grades and ten grades, the third grades from high to low are - General, Colonel, and Lieutenant, and the ten grades are - General, Lieutenant General, Major General; Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major; Captain, Lieutenant ,second lieutenant.In addition to these three ranks and ten ranks, there is also a military rank of "Marshal", which is only awarded to Lin Yuan alone.

The officer ran up to Lin Yuan and Fade Chen, saluted, and said, "Hello, Commander Lin, and General Chen!"

Lin Yuan and Chen Fei returned the salute, and the officer smiled and said, "Shuai Lin, why didn't you say anything before you came? I'll prepare in advance."

Lin Yuan smiled, turned to Fade Chen and said, "This is Xu Shaoqiang, the commander of Unit 168 directly under the General Armament Department."

Xu Shaoqiang hurriedly reached out his hand to Fade Chen, and Fade Chen reached out to shake Xu Shaoqiang's hand and asked, "The General Armament Department is directly under the 168th Unit? What does this unit do?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said to Xu Shaoqiang: "Come and introduce your troops to General Chen."

Xu Shaoqiang nodded and said, "Our army is a brand new army just established this year, and the equipment we use is unmanned machinery."

Fade Chen was taken aback, and asked, "Unmanned machines? Isn't there a drone army?"

Xu Shaoqiang said with a smile: "Although drones are also unmanned machines, they have been widely used in our era. The unmanned machines used by our troops are rarely used in our era, or have not been developed at all."

Fade Chen nodded, then pointed to the strange machine on the ground, and said, "It's also an unmanned machine? What is it for?"

Xu Shaoqiang said: "Its official name is 'quadruped self-propelled load-bearing robot'. It has a load capacity of 100 kilograms and can load 100 kilograms of food, fresh water or weapons and ammunition. The large box on its abdomen is a solar battery, which is used to provide Its energy when walking, its official name is too convoluted, so we usually call it 'wooden cow and flowing horse', this kind of thing is not very advanced in our era, our country has already developed it."

Fade Chen reached out and touched the four mechanical legs of the robot, and said, "The walking parts are not wheels, but this kind of mechanical legs. It must not be walking fast, right?"

Xu Shaoqiang nodded and said: "Yes, its speed is much slower than that of wheeled transport vehicles, but this kind of mechanical legs has many advantages that wheels do not have. For example, mechanical legs can pedal up mountains and cross wheeled transport vehicles. Cars can’t get over obstacles and so on.”

Fade Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Go up the mountain? Afghanistan is a country with many mountains. It seems that this type of robot is tailor-made for me!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "This type of robot has not been tested in actual combat. I transferred the 168th Army directly under the General Armament Department to India this time, just to see the actual combat performance of this type of robot, and then improve it. "

Fade Chen thought for a while and said, "This type of unmanned machine is not the only one in Unit 168, right? It wouldn't be very useful if it was the only one."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The self-propelled load-bearing robot is only a small part of the 168th unit. The 168th unit still has a lot of good things. I will show you slowly in the future. After you return to the western province, I will let the 168th unit take it with you." Some of this equipment went to Afghanistan with you, imagine the surprise of King Rahman, who has never seen the world, seeing it."

Lin Yuan asked Xu Shaoqiang to show Fade Chen the ability of this type of robot to walk and overcome obstacles, and then Fade Chen left, preparing to go to Afghanistan.

Lin Yuan's test of unmanned weapons in India actually originated from a grand idea of ​​Lin Yuan - the unmanned battlefield. The essence of this idea is to replace manned machines with unmanned machines, so as to realize unmanned warfare.

Unmanned warfare is the goal that Lin Yuan has been pursuing, because unmanned warfare can greatly reduce casualties, which will have a huge adverse impact on society's politics and economy.

Unmanned machines can also be used in places that many people cannot reach, such as deep sea and space. Human beings under Lin Yuan's rule cannot rest on their feet on the earth, and must explore the distant interstellar space in the future.

However, in order to realize an unmanned battlefield, science and technology must reach a certain level. Lin Yuan in this era is still unable to do it, so Lin Yuan plans to try and explore step by step. The self-propelled load-bearing robot is the beginning of these attempts.
