Chapter 474

"It's not just because of the accumulation of steel, it's just put in vain, and the lower officials see it in their eyes and feel distressed...... So I wanted to see if I could use the excess steel, and maybe I could improve the tedious and time-consuming process of making my Great Song bow and crossbow. ”

Looking at Wang Yang, who was so excited that his face was faintly red in front of him, Lord Lu stroked his long beard and nodded. “…… Okay, good, it's rare that you can have such thoughts and wishes, in this case, the old man can wait for your good news, just hope, next time you have any good news, say it slowly, let the old man have a preparation. ”

Wang Yang laughed embarrassedly, it didn't take much effort, and someone brought ten old craftsmen from the Crossbow Workshop Department, as well as ten divine arm crossbows.

Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw the divine arm crossbow in front of him, the shape of the sturdy and cold weapon beauty made him think of the steel crossbow that he used to play with his fox friends and dogs.

It's just that this thing is much larger than the steel crossbow, and the length is extremely long, almost reaching the abdomen.

"This kind of divine arm crossbow is an important weapon for my Great Song Dynasty to protect the family and protect the country, and we must not lose it." After Wang Yang said goodbye, Boss Lu was afraid that Wang Yang would not know, so he specially confessed.

After Wang Yang answered, he picked up a divine arm crossbow and looked at it with great interest, while asking those craftsmen about the production of this crossbow, and the old craftsman next to him saw Wang Yang's appearance, so he had the courage to explain,

The production of the crossbow is definitely not inferior to the bow, and even exceeded, for example, this god arm crossbow, it is necessary to harvest the best wood, peel and take the blank and put it indoors for half a year to dry, and then bend it in various ways, every once in a while, bend at an angle, and then have to be viscose, sticky and so on...... Just a crossbow arm process made Wang Yang smash his tongue.

Not only is the crossbow made, but the bow is also outrageously tedious. However, this also made Wang Yang understand one thing, that is, this divine arm crossbow and the bow of the Great Song Dynasty are both composite materials, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a powerful attack power.

"Whether it is a crossbow or a bow, the point is that on this crossbow arm and bow arm, it is precisely because of the sharpness of my bow and crossbow in the Great Song Dynasty that I can control the barbarian riding ......" At this time, Lord Lu couldn't help but show off his literary language.

#####

Back in his office, Wang Yang continued to ponder these bows and crossbows placed in front of him, and even asked those old craftsmen to find tools in order to figure out the structure of this divine arm crossbow, and folded two of the divine arm crossbows into pieces.

While dismantling and asking, and recording at the same time, Wang Yang recorded more than 2,000 words of notes in half a day's effort.

The crossbow body is made of mulberry wood, which does not need to be changed, after all, this part does not need to be replaced, after all, steel is not something that can be consumed casually.

And the crossbow machine is made of bronze, and the technology has been passed down from the Warring States period to the present, and it has already been formed, and it is also made of metal, so there is no need to draw snakes and add more.

And Wang Yang finally set his eyes on the crossbow arm, Wang Yang had played with compound bows and crossbows in later generations. In comparison, Wang Yang felt that the steel crossbow that could easily make him a standard target and pierce through thick planks with one arrow was obviously more powerful.

I remember once I went hunting with a friend with this thing, I wanted to hunt a hare, but I accidentally provoked a wild boar, and at that time, the two brothers directly transformed into Bolt, ran three miles of cross-country running, and rushed home directly in one breath and seemed to want to catch their breath.

Well, there is no need to mention the troubles, but to this day, Wang Yang still remembers very clearly the scene when he was assembling the steel crossbow there.

Wang Yang couldn't help but hold the pen again and recorded the new term steel crossbow arm on the rice paper.

The crossbow arm can be replaced by mild steel, but the level of mild steel is most suitable, at least not too different from this crossbow arm, which takes nearly a year to make.

You must know that the Divine Arm Crossbow still has lethality at about 300 meters, and it is with such lethality that this individual weapon will become the artifact of the Great Song Dynasty to protect the country.

If the killing distance is not advanced but retreated, and it is even more powerful, then it is completely unnecessary.

After Wang Yang weighed the weight of the crossbow arm, he had a rough idea in his heart, and soon, a batch of mild steel plates about one inch wide and about one to four minutes thick were sent to Wang Yang.

After making a good eye at both ends of the steel plate, it is natural to let those young craftsmen from the Jiafang Department come to test, more than three points thick to four points of steel plates, even if it is a strong old driver like Wang Yang, it is really impossible to pull, the strength of this thing makes Wang Yang think of the steel plate for tanks, even if it is soft steel, the thickness is too thick, for manpower.

Four-point thick steel plate is abandoned, three-and-a-half-minute thick steel plate is abandoned, three-point thick steel plate is abandoned...... Still had to give up and pull that thing to the hanging string position, Wang Yang felt that he almost held out the.

The two-and-a-half-minute thick steel plate, although better than the three-point-thick steel plate, is still too laborious, and if it is on the battlefield, it is easy for people to be unable to hang up.

In the end, the two-point thick steel plate was able to pull up enough arc by Wang Yang and most of the strong craftsmen in the way of foot pedals. Perfect!

Next, Wang Yang designed several combinations of crossbow arms, one is composed of two soft steel plates with a short outer length, the other is composed of a thick steel plate in the middle, and the two ends are composed of thinner steel plates.

The other is made of a single steel plate, and three different thicknesses of steel plates are used for testing.

And the skilled craftsmen from the Crossbow Workshop Department could only tear down the ten divine arm crossbows, and then, under the command of Wang Yang, they began to install the mild steel crossbow arms.

With the backing of many skilled craftsmen of the powerful Jiafang Department, and a large number of tools invented by Wang Yang, Rao was like this, and the replacement of the crossbow arms of the ten divine arm crossbows was not completely completed until noon the next day.

Then Wang Yang led his subordinates to take these newly-made steel arm crossbows to the Crossbow Workshop Department for testing, and the Bai Signing Order of the Crossbow Workshop Department had heard yesterday that this champion had obtained the Divine Arm Crossbow and craftsmen from his side, and seemed to be preparing to transform the Divine Arm Crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he first heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but rejoice, so he wanted to visit Wang Yang early the next morning, but after hearing that Wang Yang had been busy, he was very interested and did not bother.

Now after hearing that Wang Yang was going to the Crossbow Workshop to test the steel arm crossbow, he naturally gave the green light and led the way himself. Along the way, he also carefully inquired about Wang Yang's steel-armed crossbow.

He was also a little skeptical in his heart, could it really be possible to replace the costly, time-consuming and laborious crossbow arms of the past with steel arms?

Eventually, the group arrived at the test range of the Crossbow Workshop, which was an open space nearly five hundred paces long, or one mile, and less than a hundred paces wide.
