"Young master, it's done, it's done!" Ma Chao just walked into the gate of the arsenal, and Zheng Hun, who was waiting at the door, was full of excitement and shouted repeatedly.

Ma Chao has been in a bad mood recently, not because of anything else, but because the old man Cai Yong has started to make trouble again.

Cai Yong's uproar was to discover Cai Yan and Ma Chao's private lifelong agreement. Originally, only God knew about this matter, and Ma Chao knew about Cai Yan, but a letter from Hedong Wei's family made this good thing known to the world.

A few days ago, Cai Yong received a letter from Hedong Wei's family, saying that Wei Ning Wei Zhongdao was ill. wanted to marry Cai Yan and rushed to the door. Cai Yong is an old man who eats the past, even if he is spreading his daughter's happiness, he does not want to lose his reputation. Therefore, he went to Cai Yan to discuss the matter.

If there was no Fufeng to visit, Cai Yan would have obeyed Cai Yong and married Wei Ning in history, and within a few days of passing through the door, Wei Ning had braided his hair, and Cai Yan became a widow.

But the problem is that when he visited Fufeng County, Ma Chao's figure was already deeply imprinted in Cai Yan's heart. At this time, Cai Yong mentioned any about marriage and the life of his parents, how could this make Cai Yan, who knew nothing, comply? Helpless, Cai Yong had no choice but to make a decision and plan to go to Ma Chao to resign.

The reason why I didn't look for Ma Teng and looked for Ma Chao was because Cai Yong was also an understanding person. I have long seen who is in charge of the Ma family, but it is precisely his cleverness that mistakes his clever calculation. How could Ma Chao let Cai Yan go to the Wei family to be a widow, and in a fit of anger, he shouted out that he wanted to marry Cai Yan.

Although Cai Yong is old, his temper is not old, and he pointed at Ma Chao's nose and scolded, saying that Ma Chao is shameless and does not understand the etiquette of saints. And Ma Chao is not the master of losses, he has long practiced a good tooth in the parliament, and scolded Cai Yong for being stubborn and selling his reputation. The two broke up unhappily in the end, and the final result was that Cai Yong's front and back gates were guarded by dozens of elite soldiers of the Ma family, with a radius of ten miles, and there were shadows watching in secret......

After Cai Yong went back, he scolded Cai Yan again, and Cai Yan is also the kind of woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and actually said that she had done Zhou Gong with Ma Chao, and Cai Yong was so angry that she wanted to kill Cai Yan. Fortunately, the ugly brother was alert, and immediately broke into Cai's mansion with a shadow and kidnapped Cai Yan out.

This is good, Cai Yong is like crazy, scolding Ma Chao; And after Han Ying learned about this, she was also like crazy and scolded Ma Chao; As for Na Yun'er, she was almost crazy, but she was almost crazy with joy......

Ma Chao came to the arsenal today after being angry with Cai Yong. Although I can't substitute personal feelings into my work, I always have this kind of bad mood. Under the shadow of the cup, I thought that Zheng Hun was ridiculing himself and Cai Yan for not succeeding. At that moment, he waved his face and wanted to scold.

However, Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan are both inventive and crazy characters, and they are not strong in the ability to observe words and feelings. Fortunately, they are so informal, so they are spared the pain of being scolded. Because Zheng Hun didn't wait for Ma to be silent, he continued:

"Young master, the true Yuan Rong crossbow is done! Even the bed crossbow has become! Zheng Hun said excitedly.

"Ahh Ma Chao was so happy that his mind was clouded, and he immediately came back to his senses, and pulled Zheng Hun to the Arsenal R&D room.

"I didn't dare to underestimate the ancient craftsmen, but I didn't want to, they still had room to create miracles! However, what does the 'True Yuan Crossbow' mean? Is it the same as the equipment in the game, but it's still authentic? ”

In the R&D secret room, Pu Yuan, who had been reinstated, had red and swollen eyes, messy hair, and clothes full of gray soil and sawdust, which had been rubbed into shape. A few craftsmen who have laid down their hands are also generally tired. Seeing this, Ma Chao was a little surprised: When will Pu Yuan also be a carpenter?

In fact, in the late Han Dynasty, iron smelting and wood were rarely separated, and most of them were single-handed. Ma Chao didn't know that Pu Yuan had personally built the tiles for the construction of the fire kang dragon......

This is not the time to think about this, seeing that the craftsmen are so tired, Ma Chao knows that these two masters led the craftsmen and stayed up for many long nights for this crossbow. The scene in front of him made Ma Chao's nose sour for a while, and his throat was a little choked with emotion. Thinking of Cai Yong's old man, he was even more angry.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, those sour Confucians could fill in a few poems and guess a few riddles, thinking that they were talented, but their fart knowledge did not help the progress of science and technology, the development of mankind, and the improvement of productivity. On the contrary, because he disregarded human ethics and blindly only knew what fame and loyalty and filial piety he would win, it was really foolish.

Looking at Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun and other craftsmen, Ma Chao felt that these people were ten or a hundred times stronger than Cai Yong's sour Confucianism!

However, Confucianism always has merit, and it is not right for children to splash all the dirty water. The central idea of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and benevolence and love for others is still very helpful to social morality. However, at this moment, Ma Chao has already risen to the idea of breaking the crooked ideas of Confucianism. I plan to write a book on mathematics, geometry, biology, history, geography and other knowledge that I have learned in elementary and junior high school for children to learn, slowly channel the atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty, establish an atmosphere of equal emphasis on literature and science, and slowly change everything.

"Craftsmen, hard work." Ma Chao didn't ask about the bow and crossbow, he greeted everyone first, and naturally worked the details. After everyone returned the salute, Ma Chao asked Pu Yuan: "Master Pu, listen to Master Zheng, the Zhenyuan Rong crossbow has been completed?" ”

"Report to the young master, the subordinates are not talented, last night Yuan Rong crossbow Xiaocheng, please ask the young master to inspect." Pu Yuanyuan's confident voice could not hide his excitement.

In the center of the secret room, under a wide red cloth, lay quietly the masterpieces of several craftsmen. Zheng Hun stepped forward and lifted the red cloth with a swipe on the ground, a brand-new portable Yuanrong crossbow and a chilling bed crossbow appeared in front of Ma Chao, and the crossbow body made of steel was shining with cold light.

Ma Chao mentioned the Yuan Rong crossbow and found that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan had changed the arrow box to a smaller size, and there were only five arrow troughs left. That's half the weight. Pu Yuan handed over the crossbow arrow and explained: "Young master, this crossbow arrow has also been improved, and its power is even greater than before. ”

Ma Chao picked up the crossbow arrow, looked at it carefully, and saw that the crossbow arrow the size of bamboo chopsticks was made into a hexagonal shape, the tip was extremely sharp, and there were several deep bloodletting grooves between the edges of the arrow body, and Ma Chao even felt the sharpness of this arrow into the flesh and the bloodthirsty viciousness. Holding it in his hand, the crossbow arrow pressed his hand heavily, and he thought: "No matter how strong a man is, if he is shot by this arrow, I am afraid that he will not be spared." ”

The five arrow grooves of the Yuan Rong crossbow are polished to a shiny shine, the double-strand ox tendons are extremely tough, and the upper arrow box is cleverly installed with a rudimentary sight, which can fire twenty crossbow arrows in a row, if the accuracy can be guaranteed, the power of the end is incomparable.

Ma Chao compared it casually, feeling that this crossbow was estimated to be able to shoot through a wooden target of 100 paces, and he was very happy in his heart: the cavalry charge only needed a distance of 200 steps to complete the acceleration movement, and if the heavy cavalry threw the javelin 200 paces away, and after the javelin was thrown, and then use this Yuan Rong crossbow to shoot upward, the enemy army did not have to impact, and it had already collapsed!

"Young master, here is Xia and several craftsmen according to your guidance, under the improvement of the city guarding crossbow, trying to make a continuous bed crossbow, young master, please take a look." Pu Yuan stroked the bed crossbow, full of cherishing looks.

Putting down the Yuanrong crossbow, Ma Chao was deeply shocked by this bed crossbow: the crossbow body was about two meters long, and the eight strands of ox tendon were twisted into a bowstring. Looking at the crossbow arrow handed by Pu Yuan, it was about the length of an arm's arm and the thickness of a finger. If you are shot by this crossbow arrow, it will be difficult to resist even the iron armor, and the internal organs of people and animals will be affected to pieces.

"Young master, how are these two artifacts right now?" After telling Ma Chao about the test results of this crossbow and Yuanrong crossbow, Zheng Hun cautiously asked Ma Chao's opinion.

Ma Chao thought for a while, knowing that the inspiring moment had come, and replied loudly: "Master Zheng Dajiang, Master Pu and all the craftsmen, please accept my Ma Chao's worship!" At that moment, Ma Chao bowed down and bowed.

"How dare you be a young master!" Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and the craftsmen hurriedly dodged the direction of Ma Chao's worship.

"You have worked hard and deserve it!" Ma Chao replied sincerely, and then said loudly: "Today, the arsenal has another artifact, I am very relieved, and I will give the order to let the craftsmen of each battalion rest for a while, and boil and stew mountain chicken soup in the room to nourish the craftsmen!" ”

Due to the expansion of the arsenal, the number of bellows manufactured also increased significantly. Pity the hundreds of fat chickens that have been plucked, so they can only be pickled and stored in the room. At this time, it comes in handy to reward the hard-working craftsmen.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the compound of the arsenal, except for Ma Chao's wise and martial figure. The rest is a steaming scene of eating, and the artisans are sweating and feasting......

"This chicken soup is good, another day I have a new invention, and I will get another bowl." Before leaving, Ma Chao said so.
