Chapter 854: New Weapons (Part I)
Yuqing shook her head with a smile, gestured out a finger and said, "One hundred, a whole hundred, and all of them are the latest models." Brother-in-law, I want to change an airship as a flagship. ”
Yuan Fang was surprised and said: "One hundred, no, doesn't it mean that there are not many raw materials in the military factory?" ”
Yuqing shrugged: "I don't know about this, anyway, I'll count it, that's right, it's a hundred, of which there are ten super large, I heard that they are specially armored, which can withstand heavy crossbows from a distance of five hundred meters without too much damage." There's also a new weapon, I heard it's something similar to a bow and arrow, I haven't seen it yet, brother-in-law, do you want to go and see it together? The girls have already started to assemble. ”
Of course, Yuan Fang will not let go of this opportunity to join in the fun, without saying a word, he took Sangren and Yuyue and followed Yuqing to the originally idle hangars in the base, as for Yu Jingqiu and them, they are still flying around in the sky with red clothes, Guan Xiaoyun, not to mention, Yuan Fang hasn't even seen his shadow in the past few days, if it weren't for this kid going to the cafeteria to eat every meal, it would be regarded as showing his face, Yuan Fang even suspected that this thing had been abandoned in the wilderness after being assassinated.
In a hangar, Yuan Fang looked at the new airship that was half larger than an ordinary airship, and smacked his tongue, turned his head and asked Yuqing: "Are you sure this is for us, not for Yang Xing and their family?" ”
Yuqing nodded and said, "I asked, and Captain Wang of the military factory that delivered the goods said that these were for us." ”
Yuan Fang nodded, and then asked, "You said that there are ten such large airships?" ”
Yuqing nodded affirmatively, pointed to a few large boxes outside the hangar and said, "That's right, it's all there." ”
Yuan Fang glanced at it: "How do you plan to distribute it?" ”
Yuqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, you're indispensable, well, I'll give you two, and the rest will be assigned to the Tianyao Air Force." ”
Yuan Fang smiled: "What do you say Yang Xing would say if he knew?" ”
Yuqing smiled slyly: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Yuan Fang said depressedly: "You are ruthless enough, forget it, let's write a letter to ask for his opinion, he is the emperor now, how can he give him some face." Yuqing smiled indifferently.
Hongyi and Yu Jingqiu came, and when they saw the huge airship frame, Hongyi was surprised: "Wow, this airship is really big, I'll go inside and see what's different." With that, he pulled Yu Jingqiu and the others to the cabin, Yu Jingqiu's face was helpless, but Ouyang Xianxue was full of interest.
Yuan Fang smiled slightly and said to Yuqing, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
In the cabin, the female soldiers were busy assembling various parts, and the skilled workers sent by the military factory were guiding on the side, Yuan Fang and them came in, signaled the female soldiers to continue, and invited the skilled worker to ask, and finally came to the middle of the cabin, looked at a one-meter-square hole in the ground and asked, "This is what you said?" ”
The worker nodded and said, "That's it, this is the ground shooting port we designed, Lord Yuan, look here, we will install a bracket here later." With that, the worker ran to the window and said to his companion below, "Black boy, bring me the bow and the bracket." ”
The black boy answered, and ran to the place where the accessories were placed with the two female soldiers, and after a while, he came in with a few iron rods and a large pile of screws or something, and without saying a word, he began to install.
In a short time, this simple structure of the big bow was installed, in fact, there is no technical difficulty, that is, two triangular brackets and a rotating base with not too large arc, and a large bow body similar to a heavy crossbow is fixed on the shelf, and the angle is obliquely down, aiming at the so-called firing port.
Yuan Fang stood beside the big bow and studied it for a while, frowned and said, "This thing is too hard, ordinary people can't pull it." ”
The worker took out the last few things and explained as he pressed them: "This is the hardest bow, the range can reach four or five hundred meters, and it is generally difficult for manpower to pull it apart, so it is equipped with this kind of winch." ”
Using the winch to pull the bowstring and snap it onto the spring, the worker clapped his hands and said, "Alright, you're done." ”
Yuan Fang frowned and said, "Isn't this just a simple heavy crossbow?" ”
The worker thought for a while and said: "It's almost, but it's simpler, more practical, and you can also turn the shooting angle, by the way, Lord Yuan, this kind of bow with arrows is also special, there are not many of them, you better save some use, try the effect first, if it's okay, we will produce it on a large scale." ”
Yuan Fang opened the wooden box containing the arrows, and there was a row of wooden arrows about two meters long and short in the middle, which was different from the regular feathered arrows, although it also had the same body and tail wings, but there was no metal arrow, but was replaced by a metal ring. Yuan Fang picked up the feather arrow, pointed to the ring and asked, "What is this for?" ”
The worker didn't explain, and took out a clay pot the size of a football from another box, this clay pot Yuan Fang was quite familiar with, and at first glance it was an incendiary bomb containing fire oil, because the windproof structure was no different from an ordinary incendiary bomb.
Yuqing also picked up a clay pot, pointed to a circle of depressions in the middle and said, "There is something different here." ”
Yuan Fang looked at the annular depression on the waist of the clay pot, and then looked at the ring on the arrow, and suddenly realized: "I know, the arrow is this clay pot." ”
The worker gave a thumbs up and said: "Lord Yuan is really as wise as a torch, is it wrong, this is our design, the incendiary bomb is shot to the ground in the form of feather arrows, it should be more accurate and faster, but no one of us knows how to drive an airship, and the specific effect has not been actually verified, it is just a theoretical idea, if the effect is not good, we have to continue to modify." ”
Yuan Fang quickly fixed the clay pot on the arrow, turned it upside down and said: "The weight is heavy enough, let's try it later, I said that this tail is so high, how to aim?" And this arrow, the angle is downward, it won't fall on its own without firing, right? ”
The worker pinched out two thin lines from the tail of the feather arrow and said: "We have also considered this, pull these two wires before firing to fix the feather arrow will not slip, it is best to wear gloves, otherwise it will cut your hands, aim, if not, add a stool or something." ”
Yuan Fang was a little speechless, but this is already good, the general height is barely enough, and it is okay to stand on a stool if a slightly shorter person controls it.
After a long day's work, the first super-large airship was assembled, and all the supporting facilities were ready, such as four searchlights, such as six heavy crossbows on the upper deck, and so on.
When the news spread, almost all the female soldiers who were okay came to see the excitement, and under the gaze of everyone, Xueqin, holding the joystick a little nervously, ordered to take off after obtaining the consent of Yuqing and Yuan Fang.
This super-large airship is the first test flight, the power control is not very good when taking off, some shaking, fortunately, Xueqin's reaction is fast enough, timely adjustments, the airship quickly stabilized, slowly lifted off.
