Chapter 528 Steampunk Technology

Steampunk, as the name suggests, all technology here is done by machinery and gears.It can be said that steampunk has developed pure mechanical technology to the extreme.

For example, without computers, these brainstorming engineering teams created extremely complex difference machines.This is a mechanical computer that converts the complex calculation of the function table into a difference operation, and replaces the square operation with simple addition.To put it bluntly, this thing is to use the movement of mechanical gears to calculate.Of course, you don't have to think about how fast its calculation speed is.After all, this is a mechanical gear turning.

The first prototype of the difference engine contained more than 4000 parts and weighed 2.5 tons.For such a behemoth, the calculation speed is only once per second.It is not the same as the computing speed of several Gs when we use electronic computers now!

But under the brains of these engineers, they just found a way to make the difference engine practical.

To manufacture a difference engine with a higher calculation speed, you need ultra-high-precision metal parts processing capabilities, and make it as small as possible, so that the difference engine can be used in various equipment.

Under the shadow of the red cloud, it is impossible to achieve such a high precision by purely relying on manpower to process.But on the dock ship, it's different.

Relying on nano-manufacturing equipment, the precision of the manufactured parts must be as high as possible.How small and how small the parts have to be.These nanofabrication devices can even process metal components at the atomic level to create metal gears the size of bacteria.

Then these frantic scientists shrunk down the difference engine weighing several tons to the size of a pronunciation box, and at the same time, the calculation speed reached hundreds of thousands of times per second!
Although there is still an essential gap with electronic computers, a differential engine of this level can already fully meet the requirements of ordinary calculations.

And if the size and weight are not considered, as long as enough of these differential machines are linked together, it can be completely comparable to modern high-speed computers.

After the successful development of this new type of mechanical computer, a large number of new types of artillery were equipped with differential engines to calculate the impact of shells, which greatly improved the shooting accuracy.At the same time, due to the use of the difference engine, the mechanized equipment can realize semi-automatic operation, which greatly saves human resources.The efficiency of the machining center inside the base has been greatly improved.

At the same time, Yun Qi also found that as his sphere of influence became wider and wider.The number of zombie hordes encountered starts to skyrocket.

The most frightening thing is that these zombies are not only terrifying in number, but also have a large number of mutants.This greatly increases the difficulty of troops attacking, and it is not easy to transport survivors to Dawn City.

For this reason, under the leadership of the Dawn City Military Headquarters, all kinds of new war vehicles began to contend.

Lay railways, manufacture special armored trains, thick armor and extremely fast speed, making these armored trains driven by steam power the first choice for troop and material transportation!
More wheels, thicker armor, more barrels, and a large number of super-heavy tanks that completely ignore the maneuverability of the crazy debut.

Two 150mm smoothbore guns, high-strength alloy armor equivalent to [-]mm, and two diesel engine snorkels that emit billowing black smoke all the time, these new-age Apocalypse tanks will play multi-steel riveting and gear transmission To the extreme.Coupled with the use of a large number of difference engines to simplify operations, these heavy tanks that originally required five people to operate, now only need two people.

This allows Yun Qi, who is short of human resources, to explode tanks with impunity!
In addition to the armored forces on the ground, Yun Qi also let the military develop an air force.

In this world of ineffective electronic technology, the propeller, an invention that has disappeared for a long time from the history of human science and technology, once again bursts out with new vitality.

Huge shape, thick external armor, all kinds of gun barrels inserted all over the body, plus a heinous number of propellers, this armored airship full of steampunk style made its debut.

Relying on its amazing ammunition load, this big guy can serve as a floating war fortress in the air, launching endless artillery strikes against zombies on the ground.

However, Dawn City is making progress, and these zombies have not stopped.

It seemed that Yun Qi's frequent attacks were like stabbing a hornet's nest, completely angering the surrounding zombies.

An unprecedented attack of hundreds of millions of zombies has begun!

According to the deduction of the staff department, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to gather such a terrifying number of zombies.The only possibility is that there must be some smarter zombies among these zombies, and these smart zombies drove other unsmart zombies to launch a new general attack on Dawn City.

The number of zombies in this wave even exceeded millions.Such a terrifying amount even dyed the continent into a black moving sea!

Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance airship, these zombies are no longer all human beings, but mixed with a large number of huge zombie beasts!
These gigantic beasts have been mutated to an unusually large size.But even so, they will still die from the virus infection, and once they die, the flesh of these mutant beasts will expand again under the stimulation of the virus.

As a result, many huge monsters with a size of more than tens of meters appeared in this zombie wave, and there were even many flying zombie dragons.

Yun Qi couldn't believe it when he saw the information from the scouting troops ahead.

This is an out-and-out flying dragon!But as we all know, there are no creatures like dragons on the earth at all, and the only dinosaur died out 500 million years ago!
But this weird virus seems to have caused inexplicable mutations to various creatures.The increase in body size is only the simplest change, and various mutations that are absolutely invisible to normal creatures, such as returning to ancient times and alienation, are all presented one by one!

It seems that this virus completely disrupts the DNA genes in the organism, and completely activates many ancient genes deposited in it, causing these zombie beasts to undergo special changes similar to returning to the ancient times.

And these huge flying dragons flying in the sky, and many birds should be the alienation phenomenon that appeared after the wild animals were infected with the virus.

Such an army of mixed land and air zombies is enough to destroy a large city with tens of millions of people.If it was Dawn City three months ago, even the full support of the fleet would not be able to stop such a wave of attacks.

But now, Yun Qi, who has a new type of armor power, decides to fight the zombie army with hard steel.After all, only blood and fire can forge a true Iron Legion!
