Wang Can talked to Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and others for a while before he looked at Mo Yan and said with a smile: "Mo Lao, shouldn't you be fooling me into coming over to cheer up the Academy of Sciences, so that students and craftsmen can work hard!" ”

Mo Yan shook his head again and again, and said, "How dare you deceive the lord, please lord!" ”

As he spoke, Mo Yan took Wang Can and continued to walk forward.

Only Mo Yan, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun were following Wang Can, as well as a few guards such as Dian Wei. As for the other craftsmen, they had already begun to do their own thing, but they were obviously a little absent-minded, and their eyes stayed on Wang Can's body.

Wang Can, Mo Yan and the others came to the center of the venue, and then stopped.

Mo Yan waved his hand, pointed to a weapon placed in the center of the field, and said, "Lord, please see, this is a new weapon we made not long ago, a new type of giant crossbow. ”

Dian Wei followed Wang Can, saw the ballista placed on the ground, and gasped.

Good fellows, this new giant crossbow has wheels.

Dian Wei is not proficient in forging, but looking at the structure of the ballista, he feels quite shocked.

Wang Can stepped forward and carefully looked at the ballista at close range. After reading it, Wang Can couldn't help but sigh, this weapon is now called a giant ballista, but it is more appropriate to call it a giant ballista.

Wang Can looked at Mo Yan and said, "Mo Lao, introduce me!" ”

Mo Yan walked over, stretched out his hand and pointed to the giant ballista and said, "Lord, this crossbow is made by us according to the remnants left in the pre-Qin era, it is powerful and has a long range, enough to shoot more than 600 steps, which can be called a divine object." ”

After a pause, Mo Yan continued: "You see that the structure of this giant crossbow is similar to that of a horse-drawn carriage, it has two movable wheels, which can advance and retreat at will, and it is easy to move and relocate. Moreover, the giant crossbow can fire five crossbow arrows at a time, which is more than the average bow and crossbow. In addition, the crossbow arrows fired are all specially made, each crossbow arrow is about six feet long, forged from stainless steel, although it is very material-intensive, but it is very powerful, and it is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield. ”

After Wang Can listened, he pondered it carefully.

This new type of giant crossbow is indeed different from ordinary crossbows, Ma Jun's crossbow invented by Ma Jun can also fire five crossbow arrows at a time, but it is light and easy to carry, and the new crossbow car in front of him can not only fire five crossbow arrows, but also has greater power.

Wang Can rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Give it a try and see how powerful it is!" ”

"Okay!"

Mo Yan was very excited, and immediately waved his hand and called over more than a dozen craftsmen and asked them to bring crossbow arrows and load them on the ballista cart. The process is somewhat slow, takes a certain amount of time, and it takes more than a dozen people to complete the loading of five crossbow arrows.

"That's it!"

After about half an hour, the bolts were loaded.

As far as the eye could see, the five crossbow arrows forged from stainless steel were all six feet long, all loaded on the ballista, shining with a cold light. Mo Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to the rows of stone walls at the edge of the field, and said loudly: "Lord, please see, we are about twenty zhang away from the stone wall, not far or close, but it is enough to measure the power of the ballista, you can see it." ”

Wang Can put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll watch, let's launch!" ”

Mo Yan looked at the craftsman who was executing and shouted, "Launch!" ”

After a dozen craftsmen pounded it, the five stainless steel crossbow arrows on the ballista roared and shot out like meteors. Wang Can's ears are bright, and his eyesight is already very good, but after the crossbow arrow is fired, he only sees a few silver-white rays of light flashing in the air, and then there is a thumping sound.

The speed of the crossbow bolts is staggering.

Moreover, Wang Can listened to the sound coming from afar, and could already tell that the power of the giant crossbow was very great.

If nothing else, the six-foot-long steel crossbow bolts alone are surprising enough.

Wang Can couldn't wait to step forward and said excitedly: "Hurry up, take a look!" ”

Wang Can, Mo Yan, Ma Jun and the others quickly walked forward, towards the rows of stone walls more than 20 zhang away. When the group walked to the first stone wall hit by the crossbow arrow, Mo Yan, Ma Jun, and Pu Yuan all showed satisfied expressions on their faces, and there were smiles in their eyes, while the surrounding craftsmen were even more excited.

Seeing the situation of the stone wall, Dian Wei gasped coldly and muttered, "It's amazing!" ”

Wang Can also nodded in praise and was pleasantly surprised.

The first stone wall, like papier-mâché, was easily pierced by five stainless steel crossbow arrows, leaving only five round holes in the stone wall, which were shot by the five crossbow arrows just now.

When Dian Wei was surprised, he seemed to be a little disbelieving.

He thought about it, simply walked to the stone wall, stretched out his hand and knocked on the erected stone wall, and carefully distinguished the material of the stone wall, and saw that the material of the stone wall was real hard stone, and it was the stone used to build the city wall, Dian Wei really believed it. It was the first time he had encountered such a crossbow arrow, and he was completely frightened by the power of the crossbow arrow, and he was so surprised.

If such a crossbow arrow is shot at the body, it is simply too dead to die.

Wang Can continued to walk forward and saw that the second stone wall had also been shot through.

Then, on the third stone wall, five crossbow arrows hung from it. The five steel bolts all pierced the third stone wall, but the tail feathers hung on the wall and failed to pass through.

After Wang Can read it, he couldn't help but admire: "Mo Lao, such a crossbow arrow can almost shoot through the city wall. If the ballistae are placed in rows and fired at the walls or gates, they are enough to destroy the walls and shoot through the gates. In the future, we can attack cities and seize land, and we can no longer limit ourselves to the use of gunpowder, which is a great weapon. Well done, very good, people who participate in the production of ballistas, you follow the rules of the Academy of Sciences, give rewards, you can be generous, don't be stingy. ”

At this time, Wang Can was very excited.

Such a ballista does not require much, only a hundred are enough. A hundred ballistae were placed outside the city, and they were fixed to shoot at the towers, which would surely destroy the city walls, and with the use of catapults, it was perfect.

Moreover, the ballista can also be used for conquest.

When the two armies fought, a hundred or more ballistae suddenly fired, whether it was infantry or cavalry in front, or heavy cavalry or light cavalry in front, all of them were destroyed because the power of the ballista was too great.

Mo Yan listened to Wang Can's words and smiled from ear to ear.

Medical colleges, academies of science, martial arts academies, and academies of literature, all of which have corresponding official positions and rewards.

However, it is not easy to get a reward.

The more rewards the Academy receives, the greater the contribution. In this way, Mo Yanke has the capital to show off, and he can compare with the rest of the old guys.

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Yan's heart was jubilant.

At this time, Ma Jun said again: "My lord, the gunpowder we developed has also been improved. ”

After Wang Can heard this, his heart blossomed.

This time he led the army back to Chengdu, which was really a good thing, and good news continued to come. Wang Can smiled and asked, "Deheng, can you tell me what improvements there are?" ”

Ma Jun said unhurriedly: "After the gunpowder is improved, it can already be projectile, and there is no need to manually stack it." When attacking the city again, you can replace the catapult that throws stones with gunpowder, and when the gunpowder falls on the castle tower and suddenly explodes, it will definitely be of great use. Unfortunately, the power of gunpowder is still limited, and no progress has been made for the time being. ”

Wang Can smiled and said: "It's good to make progress, take your time, don't be in a hurry." ”

Ma Jun nodded, and then stopped talking.

Compared with other medical schools, liberal arts institutes, and martial arts academies, the Academy of Sciences has made great contributions. However, it is also the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences who have worked tirelessly day and night to achieve such an achievement.

Pu Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, the Academy of Sciences has made contributions, you can personally correct the name of the Academy of Sciences."

Wang Can turned his head to look at Pu Yuan and asked, "How to correct your name?" ”

Pu Yuan clapped his palms, and saw several craftsmen walking over with a desk. On the desk, white paper and pen and ink have been placed, just waiting for Wang Can to put down the pen.

Mo Yan said excitedly; "Lord, you only need to write three words on the paper, and then seal it."

Wang Can picked up the brush and said with a smile; "Mo Lao, you are very calculating!"

Mo Yan said righteously: "Lord, for the sake of the Academy of Sciences, I have to do this!" ”

Wang Can did not shirk, holding the brush that had already been moistened, and wrote the three big words of 'Academy of Sciences' arbitrarily, and signed the money, and then took out a seal from the cuffs, covered it heavily on the white paper, and said with satisfaction: "Mo Lao, this is okay!" I'm afraid that if I don't put on my seal, I won't be able to leave the Academy. ”

The words made the craftsmen in the venue laugh.

The atmosphere changed, and a cheerful smile spread on each craftsman's face.

PS: three of the four watches; I don't know much about the crossbow, so it's very rough, and if it's wrong, everyone will bear with me.
