Chapter 531 His Royal Highness's New Invention
"Your Majesty, with the joint efforts of Qin and Rome, the railway to Rome is being rapidly built.
However, due to the complicated terrain encountered in the construction of the railway from Daqin to Rome, our engineering team encountered many mountains with extremely unstable structures. "
"The geological environment of these mountains is extremely poor, and there are almost no plants growing on them. Therefore, the structure of the mountains is very fragile. If there is a slight movement, it is very likely to collapse completely. This makes it impossible for our engineering team to use gunpowder to forcibly open the road. Naturally There is also no way to build tunnels through it."
"So when encountering these terrains, we had to bypass them for safety and future maintenance issues, which made the length of the railway track lengthened, the amount of work increased, and the time spent naturally increased."
"According to the current speed of railway construction, it will take at least half a year to complete the railway from Daqin to Rome.
Therefore, during the war between Carthage and Rome, it is estimated that it would be difficult to build a railway to Rome. "
Chen Ping opened his mouth to report to Ying Zhenghui.
"It's a pity, otherwise, we can try and take Rome and Carthage in one fell swoop."
Ying Zheng shook his head regretfully.
This is by no means empty talk.
If Hannibal really led the army to successfully attack the Roman army, then it would be logical for Daqin to send troops to Carthage on the grounds of supporting the country of in-laws.
With the current military strength and sophisticated equipment of the Great Qin, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is more than a notch higher than that of Rome and Carthage in terms of the same force.
It can even be said that a fully armed soldier of the Qin army can completely match five Roman or Carthaginian soldiers!
This is true for ordinary Qin Army soldiers, not to mention the strictly selected Qin Army special forces, as well as the most powerful Qin Army Firearms Battalion!
Ever since Ying Yu demonstrated the terrifying power of firearms to Ying Zheng and other ministers, Ying Zheng was shocked and immediately ordered the establishment of a firearms battalion.
The recruits in the firearms camp are all after meritorious service.
These people don't have to worry about loyalty, and after rigorous training, they know how to use firearms like the back of their hands.
And just like the name of the firearms camp, basically everyone in the firearms camp has a firearm.
You know, just a firearm is enough to easily smash a wooden man under the protection of several layers of leather armor and fish scale armor. What is the concept of a firearm camp with a staff?
It is no exaggeration to say that with the power of firearms that transcended ages, the destructive power that a firearms battalion can cause is even stronger than the tens of thousands of troops in Rome and Carthage! !
In addition, after the opening of the railway from Daqin to Rome, the most troublesome rear supply problem of the Qin army can be perfectly solved, and troops can be continuously sent to support by train.
Such a tiger and wolf division with fierce firepower and strong rear support, let alone the backward and weak armies of Carthage and Rome, even if you look at the whole world, there is absolutely no country that can stop it!
"By the way, you kid hasn't been out of the gate for the past few days, and you haven't even made it to the morning court. Have you researched something new?"
Ying Zheng cast his eyes on Ying Yu, his eyes full of anticipation.
"That's true, but I won't introduce it for now. I'll explain it to you and the ministers after my father has tried this thing made by my son."
Ying Yu said with a smile.
"You, let us guess again."
Ying Zheng smiled, then nodded and said: "Okay, then you can present it first, and let me see by the way, what novelty you have researched."
"By the way, before giving the test to the father, I have to remind the father that this thing may exceed your cognition, and the father should be mentally prepared.
Ying Yu opened his mouth to remind.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the court looked at each other in blank dismay, and became more and more interested in what Ying Yu had newly developed.
After all, since the development of Daqin to the present, they have seen too much about Ying Yu's whimsy.
From flying artifacts such as hot air balloons and steam engines, to the shocking railway trains and giant ships behind.
Every invention of Ying Yu is enough to break their perception of this world!
Therefore, the ministers now have considerable psychological endurance. Although they will still be surprised and shocked by the new things created by Ying Yu, they will no longer be as miraculous as they were at the beginning.
Needless to say, as the First Emperor, Yingzheng is naturally more knowledgeable than their courtiers, and has a stronger ability to accept these new things than them.
However, now Ying Yu actually said that Ying Zheng should be mentally prepared first?
How powerful is this new thing!
"Oh? Let me be mentally prepared first? It seems that what you invented this time, Ying Yu, is amazing. Hurry up and let me have a look."
Ying Zheng's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"Yes, Father."
Ying Yu didn't hide anymore, and walked up with a wooden box in his hand, which seemed to contain something important.
Then, under the expectant eyes of the ministers below, Ying Yu opened the box and took out the contents.
It is indeed a pair of reading glasses.
When seeing the real thing in Ying Yu's hands, Ying Zheng, including the ministers below, were taken aback for a moment, and then all showed more or less disappointed expressions.
After all, Ying Yu was building momentum just now, and even said that it would cause a shock to Ying Zheng, so that he should be mentally prepared, which made everyone have extremely high expectations for this new thing.
However, there is a big gap between this real thing and what they imagined.
After all, no matter how you look at this thing, it seems that two glass mirrors are connected in series with gold wires, and then embedded in the gold frame.
At best, it can be regarded as an oddly shaped handicraft.
For this kind of glazed products, the officials of the DPRK and China have long been familiar with it. In their eyes, what Ying Yu brought out was too ordinary and nothing special.
"The thing you said that would shock me is this?"
Ying Zheng's voice was a little embarrassed.
"Father, don't worry, you will know soon."
Ying Yu seemed to have anticipated the current situation long ago, with a confident smile still on his face.
"Father, close your eyes first, and when you open them again, I guarantee that you will see a completely different world from before."
"Okay, I'll just trust you once."
Ying Zheng nodded, then closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Yu stepped forward, put his special reading glasses on the bridge of Ying Zheng's nose, and clipped the eye bridges to the sides of his ears.
"Father, you can open your eyes now."
