Thank you for being a little sapling brother for a monthly ticket!

In the first year of Xining, he ordered Zhang Ruoshui, the deputy governor of the inner capital, and Li commented on the crossbow and crossbow of the west pavilion gate.

If the water into the god arm bow, Li Hong offered, cover the crossbow also, with the body of the sword, the sandalwood for the crossbow, the iron for the head of the Dengzi spear, the copper for the horse's face and teeth, and the hemp rope for the string.

The body of the bow is three feet two inches, the string length is two feet and five inches, the arrow feather is several inches long, shoots more than 340 steps, and enters the elm wood half-pipe.

Xining is the name of Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, so the appearance of the divine arm bow was in the Song Shenzong period, and its range is in the single-shot crossbow, which can be said to have reached its peak, and can shoot a distance of more than 340 steps!

What Cao Cao held in his hand at this time was the first type of divine arm bow that had been finalized and could be produced, after test firing, compared with the divine arm bow of the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong period, the divine arm bow produced in the second year of Hongwu had a maximum range of only more than 240 steps, and the effective range was within 200 steps, but this is enough for today's environment!

With the crossbow and the divine arm bow, a tactic vaguely appeared in Cao Cao's mind, but he had not seen the test, and Cao Cao could not guarantee whether this tactic would succeed, but the order to produce 10,000 divine arm bows first was still issued.

After testing the Divine Arm Bow, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the body of the crossbow arrow, looking at the cruel barb on it, Cao Cao felt that the idea of transforming the arrow in his heart was gone.

If the people of later generations want to come up with a transformation arrow, after all, adding barbs or something to it can be saved. Just because the barb has appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty.

The copper arrowheads of the Shang Dynasty were already quite vicious. Convex ridges, triangular flat wings, when the arrow pierces the body. The barbs on both wings will firmly latch into closed wounds and be difficult to pull out, and the blood tank will draw the blood of enemies like vampire bats.

When the time came for the Warring States period, the new three-edged wing style made it more difficult for the arrow to heal even if the wound was pulled out, and the corresponding blood groove increased to six.

As for sweeping the world and exerting the power of the crossbow to the Qin Dynasty, which was only up to that time, the development of the crossbow arrow has also risen a step again.

Not only did the arrowheads of the Qin Dynasty increase the amount of lead that caused poisoning, but like some Qin swords, the surface chromium oxide technology of the Flyover era made some arrowheads enduring.

Wait until the Han Dynasty, which succeeded him. With the advent of the Iron Age, the bronze arrow was replaced by the iron arrow, and its power and the cruel places on the arrow at that time were still not canceled, but have been passed down to the present.

Therefore, if anyone thinks that the soldiers shot by China are just ordinary triangular arrows like other countries, it can be said that they are very wrong, and the ancient Chinese arrows are vicious and ruthless. It's chilling.

Weapons were originally used to kill people, and the ancient Chinese people obviously understood this truth very well, although they did not let themselves have another halo on their heads, but Cao Cao was very satisfied. With such an arrow, even if the range does not reach the peak of three hundred and forty steps, as long as it hits. Enough to make it incapacitated!

After watching the parts of the repeater and crossbow, Cao Cao followed the time. It was to watch some research and production in other places, because of Cao Cao. The Royal Arsenal is completely equivalent to what later generations called black technology!

In the arsenal, in addition to the production of repeaters and crossbows, there are also armor, such as the Song Dynasty's infantry armor that can wrap most of the entire soldier's body.

It's just that any new product, from production to finalized production and then put into use, its time is very long, although at this time the first set of step armor has been produced, the appearance is black, it looks like it is mighty and domineering, but its weight is enough to make the soldiers who wear it can't walk at all, as for killing the enemy or something, forget it.

In addition to the first time, there are all kinds of armor, of course, some are in Cao Cao's mind, and some are made by various craftsmen, with wild ideas, after all, Cao Cao's policy of getting up early, but it has not been canceled, fame and fortune can be said to stimulate the various craftsmen in this arsenal, racking their brains to constantly want to produce an armor with good defense and heavy weight.

Although most of them are failures, which is equivalent to throwing all the money into the water, Cao Cao is not the slightest dissatisfied, although the Great Wei is not as rich and willful as the Tang Dynasty, but there is still money to support the research of these craftsmen.

Crossbows, armor, bows and arrows, various manufacturing workshops looked over, Cao Cao finally came to the workshop that produced swords and studied swords, as soon as he walked in, Cao Cao saw the Mo knife and horizontal knife that had been abandoned by himself.

If you want to talk about Chinese knives, the most famous may be the four knives in the Tang Dynasty and the ring head knife in the Han Dynasty, as for the machete in the Qing Dynasty, that thing is not in Cao Cao's consideration at all, after all, the power of that thing, sometimes even the first knife is not comparable!

Compared with other workshops in the arsenal, this workshop for the production of swords can be said to be the largest, after all, the sword is the main weapon of the Wei army, a group of craftsmen, in this workshop, naked, sweating profusely wielding the hammer in their hands, constantly producing and repairing the ring head knife and some swords the day before yesterday.

His eyes swept from the workshop that made him very depressed, and two weapons with strange shapes attracted Cao Cao's attention.

One of them is like a knife but also like a spear, with a length of 150 centimeters, and the other is more like a knife with a widened blade of a Tang knife.

When he got closer, he took a closer look at these two knives, which were almost unnoticed, and asked curiously and casually, "What is going on with these two knives, and who made them?" ”

The craftsman who followed Cao Cao closely followed looked at the two knives, turned around and left for a moment, and then returned to Cao Cao's side with a young man with excitement and awe on his face and said, "Back to Your Majesty, these two knives were made by Ma He. ”

Cao Cao read the name, looked at the young man named Ma He, and asked with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I just want to know what the names of these two knives are and how powerful they are." ”

The young man who added to Mahe became even more nervous after Cao Cao's eyes fell on him, and said in a somewhat stammering tone: "Hui, back to Your Majesty, these two and two knives are the ritual knives and barrier knives that the villain created according to what His Majesty said in the past." ”

The smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth stiffened, let's not talk about the ritual knife, this thing is just like its name, it can only be used as a guard of honor, but the obstacle knife, what is the situation, if he remembers correctly, the barrier knife seems to be a dagger, when did it become a widened horizontal knife?
