"Can you replicate it?" Chen Xi asked casually, of course he had no hope.

"Yes." Li Zhe said calmly, "but the starting requirements are too high, and the overall consideration is not very meaningful. It is okay as a deterrent blow."

Chen Xi was so arrogant that she didn't know how to answer this sentence. She could actually replicate it?

"In my opinion, the Air Force is not mature at present. It is indeed difficult for ordinary guards to make effective counterattacks when facing the Air Force, but this is not that the Air Force is strong, but that we are strong." Facing Chen Xi, Li Zhe naturally said something. After all, there is still some integrity in eating rice from Chen Xi.

"A veteran is already a fifth-level melting veteran, and he has become a group. If he is used to fight the Imperial Guards, the Air Force will not be like that. What shocked us the most is that this is unexpected." Zhao Zhen may have recovered at this time and stood up straight and explained to Chen Xi.

"In fact, if both of the fifth level melting is used, the ones in the air may not have advantages on the ground. The movement in the air brings more maneuver power efficiency. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, there is no substantial improvement for most brothers." Li Zhe pointed to the soldiers flying slowly in the sky and said, "If you come to Old Lu at this time, that team of brothers will be finished."

Li Zhe didn't say much about the following words, but Chen Xi understood very well.'

He could actually know one of the veterans flying in the sky, and the other ones looked familiar. After all, the number of veterans who reached the fifth level of melting was only 2,230 in the local area. The Ganges basically looked familiar with Chen Xi, so Chen Xi roughly knew what the abilities of the veterans flying were.

It can be said that if these veterans are asking for trouble for Lao Lu on the ground, Lao Lu will definitely be beaten to death, but if they fly in the sky, Lao Lu can defeat this team of veterans together.

"There are some veterans' talent structures suitable for flight, while some veterans' talent structures are actually not suitable for flight." Li You had to admit this at this time.

For example, Zhao Ying is a veteran who is not suitable for flying. Although he can fly, he can fly very fast, and he can also air projection soldiers, etc., if you really want to say, Zhao Ying is more suitable for ground combat.

On the ground, Zhao Ying divided the six shadow soldiers who had independent combat capabilities and could wear heavy armor, each of which was at least equivalent to an imperial guard soldier who trained Qi to form a gang. Both the survival ability and the combat ability reached a considerable level. However, in terms of airdrops, due to the load-bearing problem, the shadow soldiers thrown by Zhao Ying could not have heavy armor. The imperial guards without heavy armor are really not good.

Even if Zhao Ying's shadow soldiers can only wear 200 elite shield guard standard armor and cannot wear Zhao Ying's 330 heavy armor, they are still six big fathers. The Imperial Guard without 200 armor and the Imperial Guard with 200 armor are in two worlds. The latter can fight several formers if all qualities are equal to the former.

"Well, I don't expect all the veterans to form an air force to the battlefield. I am more in order to improve the mobile ability of the veterans. Even the top Friesian horse is not as powerful as the fifth-level smelting veterans using mechanical wings." Chen Xi looked at another veteran who flew over his head at high speed and said calmly.

"There is basically no problem with maneuver power. If you fly, you don't need to consider the road issues. It will only be faster than the white horse." Li You was very confident about this. "And if you use this thing as the main force, even I feel a little distressed, but if you only use it as a maneuver to the veteran, it is indeed very suitable."

Li You never talked to Chen Xi about cost because it was meaningless.

"Then there is no problem. Actually, I am more curious about this thing when I come here." Chen Xi watched a group of veterans flying over his head, as if they found out who he was, spinning and landing smoothly, and said with a smile, "I have been asking Qu to advance an electric plane before."

Although there are still many problems with the motors built by Xiangli, such as insufficient output power, demagnetization problems, debris problems, etc., it is generally considered to be on the road. Even if there are certain problems when used on motors, the general route is basically correct.

However, under this situation, the reliable plane from Qu's family had not been created yet, and the flying corps on Li You's side had already set off. Chen Xi thought that he couldn't do it if he didn't come and see it.

"Actually, what I need is not a flying corps. What I need is a technical idea. However, the technology you are doing here is indeed beyond my estimate." Chen Xi said very seriously.

It was obviously a powerless glider, but with the talent output of the veteran, the speed of sound actually flew out. To be honest, it was ridiculous, but it was indeed in line with the ideas of this era.

"You are using electric aircraft, right? What is the purpose of this?" Li You asked strangely, he didn't keep up with Chen Xi's thinking.

"Logistics and Transportation..." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.

Li You was silent by Chen Xi's words, but after a while, he recalled the chariot chassis, the explosive army formation, blast furnace smelting and other things that Chen Xi had pulled him to do. On the contrary, if you think about it carefully, this will be more in line with Chen Xi's previous behavioral logic.

In later generations, the price of air freight has always been the most expensive of all logistics, but that was caused by the combination of many factors. However, Chen Xi is in a different era, and the electric motors produced by Xiangli are almost considered the second type of perpetual motion machine.

Considering the cost of repairing tracks and developing track trains, Chen Xi found that air transport may not be cheaper, and the efficiency of air transport is extremely effective to prevent track transportation.

After understanding this, Chen Xi began to formally invest money for Qu, but Qu was extremely unsatisfied. As of now, no item that could be called an aircraft has been produced.

Of course, Chen Xi also knew that this kind of thing was too urgent. Even if the first generation of aircraft was produced, it would take considerable time to change it to a transport aircraft with a large warehouse. The accumulation of technology requires a lot of time. Impatient to solve any problem.

At the same time, rail trains are also advancing in an orderly manner. Even if Chen Xi is optimistic about the so-called air transport, the current logistics and transportation problem must be solved as much as possible if it can be solved. Large rail trains are the key to Chen Xi's use to solve the logistics in the north.

However, only one of this thing has been built so far, that is, the one from Chang'an to Changshan. This track has greatly solved the problem of how meat from the northern ranch is transported to the core area of ​​the Central Plains. Changshan County has also developed wildly with this terminal.

When Gu Xi was a cancer, he was only one off to move Changshan County to the next side of the Hutuo River. Later, he ransomed Li You for his life and revealed a sum of money. After Jian Yong completed the investigation, Gu Xi mobilized the people of the entire Changshan County to move the county town to the next side of the Hutuo River.

After the old county town was released, it was used as a supporting facility for the northern logistics distribution center. After even having a little extra money, Gu Xi was preparing to repair the Hutuo River and provide the entire dock with it.

Under such excellent geographical conditions, I begged my grandfather to sue my grandmother and communicated with Wang Yi for a long time. Then I was shameless in the Zhengyuan and let the first track reach Changshan, Gu Xi turned over.

The fastest way to operate Jizhou's materials, Youzhou's materials, and Bingzhou's materials is to deliver them to Changshan. After that, whether they are on water, land, or rail trains, they will be delivered to the core area of ​​the Han Dynasty at a very fast speed.

More importantly, the rail train was designed to consider the problem of large etching. Almost all the carriages were burned with temperature-controlled etching developed by Zhou Yu, which directly solved the problem of summer meat transportation.

It takes several months to drive cattle and sheep from Youzhou and the northern part of Bingzhou to Chang'an. The cattle and sheep are so tired that they feel distressed. If they just go to Changshan and then slaughter them, it will take less than a month to go, and then they will be sent directly to the cold chain carriage.

Although there are only four large ranches that can enjoy such benefits due to their location, other large ranches can take some time to transport their cattle and sheep to these ranches while the grass is plump, and then deal with them together. With this method here, the meat price of stations along the track has dropped significantly, which gradually conforms to Chen Xi's perception of the price of meat and cereals.

However, only one thing was built, and the rest was still under planning. There was a large part of the reason why the track was built so quickly. This track itself had been planned for several years. Before it was built, the roadbed from Chang'an to Luoyang, Luoyang to Yecheng had already been paved.

As for the Jizhou section, the most important thing that Gu Xi could convince Wang Yi and the Zhengyuan was that in order to connect the three states, Gu Xi built Changshan into a northern logistics distribution center. The roads built at that time were built according to the specifications of Chidao, because only Chidao could ensure transportation efficiency.

Gu Xi was very clear at that time. He knew that he was terminally ill, so he did this. At worst, he could die. He had no children and no clans. When the roadbed was completed, he would go to the road and pursue it. He would just go directly to pay off the crime.

Anyway, there is not much time left. Death is death sooner or later. It is better to die forever, and it is better to die again!

Originally, this was a big problem of transgression, but afterwards, Liu Tong, Liu Bei, and Chen Xi did not pursue it and just pretended that this was not the case. Who made what happened in Jizhou too bad? Gu Xi showed what the noblest morality of human beings is in the harshest environment.

So this matter was over and no one pursued it. Later, Gu Xi secretly took people to put soil on it, but because of his illness at this time, Gu Xi did not dare to really put it to ten feet wide, but chose nine feet nine, pretending that it was not a Chi Dao. Then, while practicing, he received news that Chang'an was going to repair the track. Gu Xi changed his mind and the Chi Dao with the track could run faster than the ordinary version!

Because the roadbed is qualified and the morals are still respected these days, the Zhengyuan side negotiated with Wang Yi and agreed to pave the tracks all the way to Changshan.

This road solves many problems, but in essence, this thing is actually used to verify technical ideas and transportation efficiency. Now that it has been verified, the remaining eight items need to be built. The problem is that the roadbed of the rail train takes a considerable time to be repaired. This is not something that can be quickly mounted if you want to get on the horse. Even if many county magistrates report to Chang'an, this is something that requires a lot of investigation.

It is different from the situation where two large palace groups are built in Chang'an. This kind of thing that looks worthless is the real thing.

According to the standard construction regulations, the pure cost of each kilometer is about 4 million yuan, and a thousand kilometers are renovated from Chang'an to Changshan.

You should know that these are steel, concrete, etching technology, design, geoscience and other things, all of which are the cost prices after the internal solution of Shaofu.

Two palaces were built in front of Weiyang Palace, saying that it cost tens of billions of dollars, but Chen Xi's own family knew that his family was basically free. The part that was spent was paid by the Wei family, the materials were arranged, and the design and construction were assessed by masters. There were basically not many places where Chen Xi paid for it.

But the track is different. Chen Xi needs to pay for every link of this thing, and in order to ensure quality, no penny can be left.

Unlike other people who move around and end up making money by making money, no matter how you do this thing, you need to take out such a huge amount of supplies. Even if there is an industrial chain and you can dilute everything, you have to take out some of the money you earned from other places.

Of course, the benefits of track repair are also very obvious. In the areas along the track, meat prices have stabilized to the level that Chen Xi had previously recognized, social stability has increased significantly, and happiness has increased again. But overall, with the current situation in the Han Dynasty, large-scale track repairs are actually a loss.

Chen Xi also started to build aircraft after calculating the cost. At first, he wanted to build airships, but later he found that this thing was said to have no technical content. In fact, if it really had to be loaded, in terms of the current environment, it might be more troublesome than an aircraft. The preparation of hydrogen and helium is not that easy, and the danger of hydrogen airships is actually very high.

By the way, Chen Xi had done something like a hot air balloon very early, but this thing is not easy to operate. Overall, Chen Xi has always been thinking of having a date or not for a three-point shot when it comes to aircraft, and he did not consider it as a weapon of war, but as a means of carriers.

"No matter what, it is a success. Although it is not the kind of success I think, it is okay considering other uses." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "At least, it will be much easier for the centurion-level backbone to go to Northern Europe next."
