Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 223 Hot Air Balloon

Li Weidong went home after the meeting and handed the child to Zhou Xiaobai in the evening, asking her to help take care of the child. Ignoring her resentful look, he ran into the specially built yard.

After working all night and comforting Zhou Xiaolin and the others, he left the small world, made a casual breakfast, and walked towards the shipyard after eating.

As soon as I arrived at the shipyard, I found my father-in-law's car parked in front of my office.

Li Weidong hurried in and saw his father-in-law, Military Chief Yang, sitting in his office.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Li Weidong asked.

"Weidong, I'm here with orders from my superiors. After the World War, the Eagle Sauce and Chicken Foot Basin didn't gain enough military merit, so they've been making a lot of moves lately, provoking wars in many countries. They recently deployed the Seventh Fleet, and they might be stirring up trouble."

Commander Yang said with a serious expression.

"Dad, let's strengthen patrols in the sea area and have the battleships ready to provide support near the coast. I think they are just bluffing and won't start a war."

Li Weidong made a suggestion and then added another sentence.

"Even if a war breaks out, we're not afraid of them. Do they really think our electromagnetic guns are just for show? If their fleet dares to enter the range of the electromagnetic guns, they will be wiped out."

Commander Yang nodded. He thought so too. Although he was not afraid of him, it was a bit annoying for him to do this.

You can't just let them go, right? These guys are really aggressive. If you leave them alone, they'll probably get even more aggressive. So we need to do something about it.

"I think so too, but we still have to deal with them. Our sea area is not small, and the remaining two battleships must be completed as soon as possible to deal with the next situation.

Also, the shipyards will continue to expand production and produce a few more battleships. Who knows if there will be another world war? What if our territory expands again? We must be fully prepared so that if it happens, we will have time to react."

Commander Yang said seriously.

Li Weidong nodded and said to Chief Yang:
"Dad, don't worry! I already held a meeting yesterday to speed up the production of these two battleships. As for the expansion, I'll need your help. Whether it's people or supplies, as long as you are ready, I have no objection."

Commander Yang nodded, very satisfied with Li Weidong's efficiency. He had already made preparations before he arrived yesterday.

"Don't worry, the military will fully support you. The personnel and equipment are already on the way. You just need to make some arrangements.

By the way, Weidong, just like in this world war, hot weapons are completely useless. Can you design a cold weapon for the army? Or think of another way to at least give our soldiers a little advantage!

We can't fight the well-equipped ancient soldiers with bayonets like this time! So this time, the victory was easy with the alliance, but if we fight the elite ancient soldiers alone, we will still be at a disadvantage. "

Commander Yang said with a serious expression.

Li Weidong pondered for a while and nodded.

"Dad, I'll research this, but there aren't many solutions. Ask the military industry to research armor and crossbows, and I'll think of other solutions."

Li Weidong said.

Commander Yang nodded.

Then the two chatted for a while, and Chief Yang said goodbye and left.

After Li Weidong sent his father-in-law away, he went to the shipyard to check the progress, encouraged the workers, and then returned to the office.

Li Weidong sat in his office and began to think. After a while, he realized that there was no better solution. He could only forge a batch of better cold weapons and armor, and then strengthen the crossbows. Then, he could bring more hot air balloons to form an air force. Having an air force should be a dimensionality reduction strike against the cold weapon era.

After all, there were no anti-aircraft weapons in ancient times. Most of them were bows and arrows, crossbows, etc. When the hot air balloons flew up, they could not hit them at all.

It is very convenient to attack below while on a hot air balloon, and the attack force is also strong enough with the pull of gravity.

With this in mind, Li Xin began to design a hot air balloon plan. First, the balloon had to be large enough and have a certain level of protection. He couldn't just fly up into the sky and have a bird crash into it, which would be useless. He might not be flying to kill the enemy, but rather to deliver a headshot.

Then there is the load capacity, which must be increased. After all, you are going to war, and you must carry a lot of weapons, arrows, or heavy objects.

After Li Weidong finished the design, he began to arrange people to get the materials and make it for testing.

It is quite simple to make this hot air balloon, and it can be completed in a few hours. Li Weidong experimented with it and the effect was pretty good. It certainly is not as strong as modern weapons, but in the era of cold weapons, it was already a very advanced thing.

After the experiment was completed, Li Weidong returned to the office and called Chief Yang back and told him about the hot air balloon.

After hearing this, Chief Yang asked Li Weidong to send him a copy of the hot air balloon information and experimental data, and then hung up the phone.

Li Weidong arranged for the production materials and experimental data of the balloon to be sent to Sijiucheng. Then when the time was almost up, Li Weidong returned to his residence.

After returning to his residence, Li Weidong went straight back to the small world. After having dinner with Zhou Xiaolin and others, he sat aside and chatted.

"Brother Dong, is there anything going on at the shipyard recently?"

Zhou Xiaolin asked Li Weidong.

"Yes, Ruoxi's father came today and asked us to speed up the construction of battleships. After these two are completed, we will continue to build more to prepare for the upcoming world war.

And they also asked me to develop a device to deal with cold weapon combat."

Li Weidong answered truthfully.

"Equipment for dealing with cold weapon combat?"

Yang Ruoxi said with some doubt.

"Well, but after thinking about it for a long time, besides sophisticated armor and advanced crossbows, the only thing I can think of is hot air balloons. After all, in ancient times, hot air balloons should be considered as air force. In ancient times, it should be considered a dimensionality reduction attack. After all, most of the ancient means of attack were bows and crossbows, which could not hit units flying in the sky. Hot air balloons have the bonus of gravity, and the power of the attack is even greater. Therefore, making more hot air balloons should greatly enhance the advantages of cold weapon combat."

Li Weidong explained to Zhou Xiaolin and other women.

"Yes, Dong Ge's brain is really good!"

He Yushui said with a smile.

"That's it! Don't you see whose man it is?"

Lou Xiao'e said proudly.

"Haha! So are you going to work an extra hour tonight?"

"Bah! I added it, do you agree?"

……

The girls' conversation went off track again, and Li Weidong scratched his head with a wry smile!
