Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

The demand for artillery on the battlefield reached its peak at one time.

As for the Shogunate army, although they could only hide in their positions and shoot, and although the performance of their equipment was not very good, they would always hit the target if they fired more shots.

The battlefield was in a stalemate for a while, and as time went on, statistics showed that the casualties of the Kaigi army were even higher than those of the Shogunate army.

After all, the Haiji Army can only rely on shelters such as trenches for protection. There is no such thing as a barrier for the time being. The most they have is hard bulletproof vests and helmets.

One of the few benefits of this battle was that it moved the battlefield to the area south of the Wuxiang Blade Gap, so that the Tengdou Fort area was no longer threatened and the factory could resume work smoothly.

After resuming production, the factory in Tengyezhai began to resume the output of electronic components, the production capacity of robots began to recover, and it assumed the responsibilities of a logistics base.

After restoring production capacity, Haigi Island began to upgrade a batch of robots and sent them to the front line to participate in the war.

The difference between these new robots and previous ones is that they replaced the baffles and meaningless decorations that were mainly for aesthetics with armor plates that are mainly for protection.

At the same time, the Institute of Oceanology has developed a special war program for it and slightly optimized its intelligent program. Human soldiers only need to give it an attack command once through wireless communication as authorization, and the robot can automatically identify and attack the enemy.

A large number of robots were deployed to the front line, and the situation began to show some improvement.

After all, this thing is covered in hot-rolled homogeneous steel armor, and the only equipment in the hands of the Shogunate Army are elemental bombs and elemental cannons that can cause damage to it.

Fortunately, the intelligence level of these robots is not high enough. Without anyone to operate them, they would just rush forward stupidly. This allowed the Shogunate army to inflict damage on them with the elemental bombs in their hands. Otherwise, these robots alone would be enough to destroy the Shogunate army's positions.

"They really played around with the Jiyoudan system. It's really a big problem."

The doctor was in the military factory (formerly the Evil Eye Factory), looking at the current situation on the battlefield in silence.

Although there were some changes in the initial development, the overall situation was as he expected. The shogunate army under his "evil eye system" successfully blocked the attack of the Kaigi army, and the two sides at least reached a stalemate.

With such discipline and will, the bandits who make people frown can be defeated. If they were replaced by the soldiers of the Fatui or the elite shogunate army, they would probably be able to launch a counterattack against the Kaigi army.

It's a pity that the old guy Kujo Takayuki refused to touch his treasures. After all, he still needed cooperation. There was also the puppet general standing behind the old guy, so he couldn't push him too hard.

Later, the large-scale investment in robots changed this situation. Robots, which only needed to replace a few armor plates and flash a new program, had already created tremendous pressure and were constantly squeezing the shogunate army's front line.

As time goes by, the possibility of the shogunate army maintaining its current level and holding Yamato Island will become smaller and smaller, and failure will only be a matter of time.

After a period of time, when the industrial system of Kaigi Island is operational and a large number of artillery are produced and put into use, it will probably be the end of these shogunate troops.

Practice has proved that his evil eye system is still slightly inferior, and the opponent's combination system is obviously stronger at this stage.

"Can't you also make a bunch of dolls and send them over?"

"That thing is a product of alchemy. It is impossible to produce it on a large scale in a short period of time."

"These shogunate troops will all die sooner or later."

"It doesn't matter. I just need to get the actual combat data. I can already foresee the future developments, and I will continue to make targeted improvements. By the way, please send me 5 test subjects numbered 20. I want to try again to use the evil eye to power the barrier shield and control the load to see if I can optimize it further."

Using the shogunate troops on Yamashita Island as consumables is not a metaphor or exaggeration.

After providing energy for elemental cannons or barriers and suffering strong backlash, they become excellent material for the doctor's experiments and observations.

It's really refreshing. It's a hassle for other countries to obtain such a large amount of materials.

With this large amount of material, the doctor felt that he could soon find possibilities for further optimizing the Evil Eye.

By that time, the output of the Evil Eye will be further enhanced, and it may be able to be adapted to more powerful equipment, so these robots on Haigi Island will nothing to be afraid of.

"If we can make heavy artillery similar to theirs, then these shogunate troops will be able to hold out for a little longer, so I can get more data."

The scattered soldier turned around to look for the experimental subject, and the doctor stayed in front of the test bench, thinking about the problem silently.

He made this plate of dumplings just for this little bit of vinegar.

Currently in Teyvat, the only place where he can have a large-scale war to test new equipment is Inazuma.

Therefore, he can't just sit back and watch the shogunate and Kaigi Island sing the same tune and rely on acting. If you don't fight, how can I conduct experiments, obtain data, and fish in troubled waters?

Coincidentally, the development of Haigi Island provided him with some new ideas, which made the two sides even more likely to fight.

Only by fighting each other can we perfect ourselves in actual combat.

For example, this time, before the artillery battle started, he didn't know that the Haiji Army had produced artillery that was powerful, efficient, accurate, and most importantly, cheap and could be mass-produced. Although the small number did not change the situation beyond his expectations.

In addition, it also makes it easier for him to obtain experimental subjects.

As for the impact and casualties caused by the war...

Anyway, we are all Inazuma people, and we are all devoting ourselves to science, so it doesn’t matter.

Chapter 147 Break through the defense

During the stalemate in the battle, the doctor was trying to find a way to upgrade his equipment to fight back, and Jiang Ming was also trying to find a way to improve.

The current main task is to increase artillery production. In the long run, it will have to be solved through development. There are two main directions in the near future. One is to reverse and master this barrier-based shield technology, and the other is to accelerate the deployment of power armor.

Their powered exoskeletons have been successfully applied in the industrial field, and are used in fields such as construction and transportation. However, in actual experience, due to limitations of sensors and control programs, the movement delay is too high, so it has never been put into military use.

Since they are indeed short of manpower, they have entrusted the relevant project to the Fontainebleau Science Academy, but it is expected that it will take some time.

Now, they are in urgent need of equipment that can effectively attack the Shogunate army's barrier while providing effective protection for themselves.

The concept of armored units, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and the like, was brought up by Jiang Ming for discussion.

Because there was no demand before, Jiang Ming had no plans to develop in this direction.

The shogunate army was only a cold weapon army, so tanks were not needed to deal with them. And above the shogunate army, even the thunder generals could not be dealt with by tanks.

It is a typical case of being not as good as the best but better than the worst.

Moreover, there are no precedents for tanks or infantry fighting vehicles in Teyvat, so they need to design and develop them from scratch. On the contrary, humanoid or bionic mechas, whether it is the clockwork technology, the puppet technology of Kanrea, or the one-eyed Xiaobao, are all precedents they can refer to, and they are available in large quantities.

Furthermore, Inazuma is mountainous and the terrain is extremely bad. It is questionable whether these heavy armored vehicles can enter the battlefield, and their passability is worrying.

He would rather use these mechas, carrying weapons such as machine guns, to counter those special units with superior individual combat power and provide fire support.

Now, facing the shogunate army with upgraded equipment, the situation is different.

Under the requirement of "penetrating and defending", nothing is more suitable than tanks.

Jiang Ming called the team that had previously designed the truck and asked them to work in the direction of the tank.

Secondly, the artillery research and development team was asked to develop a cannon suitable for use on tanks before developing a larger caliber howitzer.

In order to target the Shogunate army's barrier, they required the initial velocity of this cannon to be high enough, and also required the development of new types of ammunition to match it.

In addition to their own research and development of new types of ammunition, Mond will also contribute.

Over there, Klee was having a lot of fun bombing things. She was so happy that she would make a new recipe every few days. Although not every one of them was suitable to use, if there were enough of them, she would always win a prize.

Despite having to pay a huge amount of follow-up expenses, they still feel it is worth it. If the money was used for research and development, it might not even make a splash.

A weapons officer named Emato who came to the institute to cooperate with the research and development work, with the help of Klee and the new materials provided by them, tried to use the conical cover to gather the energy of the explosion of the explosives.

——That is, armor-piercing shells.

This research has made some initial progress.

After Mond took over the development of armor-piercing shells, their responsibilities became much easier.

There are also some projects that cannot be seen in effect now, such as the development of the fairy magic system in Liyue. They are trying to simulate the way fairy power works and replace it with electricity to see if they can have similar effects. Secondly, combined with the research on relic heavy machinery and talismans, they also proposed the concept of rune enchantment.

Although there has been no progress in the research on enchantment for the time being, I have some ideas about fairy projection.

If they could replace energy and mass-produce, their computer output would no longer have to rely on paper.

Surprisingly, after the two sides exchanged their research conclusions, they discovered that the barrier technology used by the Shogunate Army and the energy operation of Liyue's fairy projection had a lot in common.

The two seem to have some common origin, and I don't know if the doctor borrowed any information from them during the research and development process.

However, considering this common characteristic, the research on the barrier has become a cooperative project between the two sides.

Among these, we have to mention that Liyue has already set up the relevant equipment, and they successfully connected to Liyue for instant communication using cables.

This is also a prerequisite for them to launch cooperative projects, exchanges and simultaneous research in multiple locations.

During this period, Fontaine had learned about the data transmission method through electrical signals, and they showed great interest in it.

Not only did they take the lead in developing wired telephones and switches, they were also trying to develop new cables to increase their transmission bandwidth, so that they could have the ability to transmit video in real time, similar to the recording port, and be able to transmit long distances across countries, instead of just being able to transmit text as it is now.

Under the promotion of Yamagami Hideo and his team, Fontainebleau Science Academy undertook the production of wires and agreed to promote the connection of communication cables with Liyue.

It is not difficult for the Fontaine factory to start production. After all, the technical data is already available and the process is not complicated. All they have to do is follow the standards. They are all old partners of the Fontaine Science Academy and are familiar with the process. They have even shipped a batch to meet Liyue's order.

Mainly on the issue of connection, the approval procedure of Momang Palace is very cumbersome, otherwise they would definitely connect the communication cable with Liyue as soon as possible.

At this moment, the talents of Haigi Island intuitively felt that now, unlike before when their limited R&D capabilities were now limited, it would be an exaggeration to say that they could directly integrate the scientific research capabilities of all of Teyvat, but mobilizing and utilizing a considerable amount of them was no problem.

"In addition to engineering projects, we have obtained the formula and process of superconducting materials from Albedo, which can be mass-produced. The main material is star silver ore. Therefore, we proposed a snow mountain development plan to the Knights of Favonius, which requires at least 3000 sets of electric heating suits and other supporting equipment."

"Add it to the production plan and find a way to even it out."

Jiang Ming had a headache. He had to revise the 22nd version of the plan.

Previously, a large amount of production capacity was diverted to serve the war, so the 21st edition was revised.

"Also, according to Yamagami Hideo's report, the oil extraction equipment has been shipped to Xumi. They asked if they still need to obtain permission from the Council of Ordinances?"

"Of course, we have to go through the necessary procedures. The House of Representatives does not seem to know the value of oil. We can take advantage of the information gap and sign a 99-year contract at a low price."

The secretary wrote it down silently, typed it out at the terminal and sent it to Liyue.

"There is one more thing. Captain Beidou asked you about the recent war. Do you think you can answer it in person?"

Chapter 148: False and True, It's Hard to Be Confused

Liyue has been very lively recently.

As Beidou expected, after she brought the robots and supporting facilities back to Liyue, Ningguang fell into a rare silence.

I stared at these robots in a daze for a long time.

Finally, Ningguang ordered that these robots and related equipment be sealed and kept strictly confidential.

She really couldn't imagine what Liyue would become if these cheap robots replaced Liyue's workers.

Where will the workers of Liyue go?

This is more serious than the changes in the abyss. It is the lifeblood of millions of workers.

This will shake Liyue's foundation.

As for the solution...

Ningguang listened to Beidou's description of the solution to Haiqi Island and didn't know what to do.

Liyue is a country founded on commerce. Liyue's merchants and chambers of commerce are the main body that maintains the operation of Liyue society. Even the Seven Stars are merchants. In Liyue society, except for transcendental beings such as the Emperor and immortals, merchants are the real masters of Liyue.

If the Haiji Island method is followed, this will directly subvert the society of Liyue, and the impact caused will be no better than the previous one. (Based on Ningguang's current understanding)

No matter how you look at it, this is a big step.

The national conditions and situations faced by Liyue and Haigi Island are different. The plan used by Haigi Island is based on the fact that they did not have a complete social system before. After violently purging the conservative forces, they started planning from scratch. This method cannot be applied to Liyue at all.

Until a better solution is found, the only way to temporarily protect the survival of Liyue’s workers and maintain the operation of Liyue society is to ban robots.

These robots cannot replace workers' labor, and they cannot even be used.

However, after negotiations between Yamagami Hideo, Beidou, and Ningguang, the sealing order was changed to restriction.

These robots are only allowed to be used within the institute and are not allowed to be disclosed to outsiders. Their costs are also kept strictly confidential.

Ningguang will send someone to supervise.

One important reason is that everyone in the Southern Cross Fleet actually knows what is going on, and it is not realistic to keep it strictly confidential.

It would be better to just release some true news and mix it in with some false news, so that the false and the true will appear more true.

The only information they released to the public was that the purchase and maintenance costs of these robots were far higher than the workers' wages, and that they would only be used when there were dangerous needs within the institute, in order to avoid causing panic.

At the same time, Ningguang will approve a huge amount of funds, nominally for the maintenance of robots, but in fact, it will eventually be transformed into scientific research funds.

With Ningguang's help, no one would be so ignorant as to come and check the accounts.

As for the real price, only a few people such as Beidou, Ningguang, and Yamagami Hideo know it.

Even the big chambers of commerce and aristocratic families in Liyue will not reveal it, to prevent them from having any ideas and then putting pressure on the Seven Stars.

The sailors of the Southern Cross Fleet who had some understanding of this used many excuses to evade them, such as the import premium and the high price that Haigi Island had to pay due to a shortage of manpower. In short, the cost of using these robots, at least in Liyue, was much higher than that of humans.
