Chapter 704: New Weapons
Lin Mengsheng blinked his eyes and said weakly: "I said everyone, in fact, this problem is easy to solve. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at this black boy.
Lin Mengsheng said lightly: "This is very simple. ”
Ouyang Xianxue glared and said, "What is very simple, so many of us didn't think of a way, you thought of it?" Xiao Linzi, if you can't tell me why today, be careful that I beat you into a pig's head. ”
Lin Mengsheng rolled his eyes, and didn't bother with Ouyang Xianxue, and went straight to the point and said: "Suppose that the casting net is a square flake fishing net, then, we can use two wooden poles to link the opposite ends of the casting net, these two wooden poles, one needs to be slightly heavier and the other is slightly lighter, only a trebuchet is needed, the net and the two wooden poles are invested, in the investment process, the speed of the slightly heavier wooden poles will be faster than the slightly lighter ones, so the two wooden poles will be separated, and the net will be deployed, That is, it can complete the deployment of the net in the air and fall into the opponent's cavalry array, so that the original purpose can be achieved? Lin Mengsheng drew as he spoke, everyone understood what he meant, and looked at the exploded drawings on the paper in a daze.
After a while, Yuan Fang slapped the table hard to wake everyone up from shock, gave a thumbs up and said, "Mengsheng, I didn't see it, you are definitely a genius." ”
Lin Mengsheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "This, Boss Yuan has won the award, and I thought of it by chance." ”
Yuan Fang shook his head: "Without this talent, even if you want to break your head, you can't think of such a way." Yuan Fang can be sure that Lin Mengsheng has a talent beyond ordinary people in mechanics, power and mechanics, and at the same time secretly rejoicing that he chose Lin Mengsheng in the first place, is this the will of heaven?
Although I didn't want to admit it, but my brother-in-law said so, the little girl snorted, glanced at Lin Mengsheng and said, "Count you lucky kid, otherwise you will become a pig's head today." This is the little girl's affirmation, and it is also everyone's affirmation of Lin Mengsheng's talent.
Lin Mengsheng seemed to be encouraged, forgot about anything else, and continued: "Actually, although this weapon is good, it is also subject to many limitations, and on the battlefield, especially when facing cavalry, there is only one chance to use it at most, and the price paid is far greater than the benefits. ”
Lin Menghan was puzzled and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Lin Mengsheng took a sip of tea and explained: "You think, the trebuchet is long-range heavy firepower, except for the siege or city defense battle, have you ever seen anyone use this thing when the two armies are in the field?" Even if there were, the trebuchet should be located in the middle and rear of the array. ”
Lin Menghan glared and said, "What do you want to say?" Talk about the point. ”
Lin Mengsheng smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not talking about it." ”
Seeing that the women were not kind to each other, Lin Mengsheng hurriedly continued: "Although the method I just said is feasible, whether it is a wooden pole or an open throwing net, it will be subject to a lot of resistance, in other words, the throwing distance will definitely not be too far, it is already very good to have half of the stone bullet, you are all soldiers, you have experienced real battles, you think about it, what is the range of half of the trebuchet, at most it is four or five hundred meters, if the opponent's cavalry rushes to a distance of only four or five hundred meters, what will be the result?" Does the trebuchet still have time for a second reload launch? ”
Hearing this, the women were silent again, yes, if the enemy's cavalry rushed to that distance, either they had already engaged in a melee with their own troops, or their own troops had been defeated, even if they didn't, after their own troops lined up with a catapult, would they be able to stop all the cavalry by throwing nets?
The answer is no, once the opposing cavalry approaches, the trebuchet loses its effect and becomes the target of the enemy, the trebuchet is not a consumable for bows and arrows, the production of each trebuchet is very complicated, the material and labor costs required are quite high, even if one is destroyed, it is a big loss, then, sacrificing an expensive trebuchet to launch the net, is this tactic worth it? This varies from person to person, some countries may be able to, but the Eastern Saint Empire, with the current financial resources of the Eastern Saint Empire, is far from being able to withstand such a huge consumption.
The little girl stiffened her neck and defended: "I haven't practiced it, how do you know that it can't work?" ”
Lin Mengsheng shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "I'm just talking about my thoughts, whether it will work or not depends on you insiders to judge and measure it yourself." An expert sentence made the little girl feel a little more comfortable, looked at Yu Jingqiu and the others, and sat down dejectedly, they already had the answer in their hearts.
Yuan Fang saw Yu Jingqiu's decadent expression, and said with a faint smile: "In fact, the net is not useless, for example, Niujiao Mountain can be thrown from above to the net, and when defending the city, although the net itself has no lethality, we can improve it, for example, after soaking it in fire oil, it is a very good combustible, and the enemy trapped in it will be burned or even killed, so you can study it from this aspect." ”
Lin Menghan sighed, his idea could not be realized, although he was a little disappointed, it was not a big deal, he took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, we should be discussing weapons that can be used by the Air Force, is it off-topic?" ”
Yuan Fang woke up like a dream and slapped his head: "Off topic, definitely off topic." ”
After a small episode, everyone regrouped and continued to discuss, this time, no one underestimated Lin Mengsheng, he proved himself with his strength.
After the meal, Lin Mengsheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with his own hands, Sang Rou and Yuan Fang and others also helped when they saw this, cleaned up the dining table, Lin Mengsheng threw the stained tablecloth into the basin, and then came to the living room. Almost overnight, Yuan Fang finally told his thoughts completely, and even some improvement details and directions were discussed with Lin Mengsheng to solve the direction, when it was almost dawn, Yuan Fang, who had been talking all night, finally couldn't bear to snoring in the sofa, and Sang Rou and a few of them had already leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
Lin Mengsheng tiptoed to fetch a few brand-new blankets for a few people, and left lightly.
Outside, the air was fresh and cool, and after taking a deep breath, the whole person was a lot more sober.
Moving his body, Lin Mengsheng strode towards the assembly workshop, in the next period of time, he wants to turn those ideas last night into reality one by one, although the road to success will be difficult, but he is not afraid at all, and has enough confidence and courage to overcome all difficulties.
didn't sleep for too long, Yuan Fang opened his eyes tremblingly, the charcoal in the charcoal stove had been burned to ashes, and it was too cold in the room, so he patted Sang Rou, who was still asleep on his chest: "Sang Rou, get up, it's too cold, don't catch a cold." ”
