Chapter 34: The Law of the Repeater
When the sky was bright, Zhao Qian entered with a basin of water, the door was open, Zhao Kuo was not in the room, he went straight to the table, and was immediately attracted by the pattern on the table, and he couldn't figure out what it was for a while and had to put it down, just Zhao Kuo stepped inside, "Put it here, after meeting Bai Ying for a while, let him go to the armory workshop and invite the leader of the black beard!" ”
Zhao Qian agreed, and her eyes fell on Zhao Kuo's face, "Childe!" ”
Zhao Kuo raised his head, "What's wrong!" ”
"Childe is a lot haggard, but you have to pay attention to your body, otherwise Qian'er will have heartache!"
"Out of the way!"
Zhao Qian agreed to walk out, and on the way, she happened to see two figures hiding behind the rockery, and from time to time she let out a burst of laughter, she could see clearly through the gap, and she walked lightly to the front, only to hear the woman say: "Brother Bai, did you miss someone last night?" ”
"I think about it, I think about it every day!"
"Lord Xuan said that a man's words can't be believed."
"In that case, why did you come here thousands of miles away, and you always talk about your son, you must have also moved your mind, could it be that my son-in-law is not a man!"
"You said bad things about the general, go and sue the general now!"
"How dare you, see how I punish you!"
A burst of women's laughter came, followed by a burst of forgiveness, "Spare me, don't dare next time!" Then there was another burst of laughter, Zhao Qian smiled evilly, and her figure was close, in other words, Bai Ying must be alert in normal times, but now all her thoughts are on the woman.
I saw that the two of them were almost close together, their eyebrows kept flashing, they were holding each other's waists, Bai Ying's body was slowly approaching, Zhao Qian was suddenly ashamed in her eyes, and hurriedly turned around to dodge, exclaimed, and stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Who!"
Bai Ying heard the sound, her lips that were pressed together quickly parted, and the two figures were one left and one right, and she happened to see Zhao Qian who fell to the ground.
"It's Miss Zhao!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"It's okay, Qian'er didn't mean to, she didn't want to disturb the two!" Zhao Qian looked at the two of them with a guilty face.
The faces of the two of them turned red instantly, the scene just now must be seen, Lang Qing and Concubine were difficult to control themselves for a while, people's emotions were so strange, I thought that I couldn't do that, but my body couldn't help past, I couldn't wait to stick together and never separate, Bai Ying coughed, "Have you ever seen a child?" ”
Zhao Qian nodded, "Childe confessed, if you see Brother Bai, please go to the Armory Workshop once!" ”
"Armory!"
"Leader Blackbeard, please!"
"Okay, Bai Ying will go over!"
The black beard frowned deeply, and what he was holding in his hand was the repeater diagram drawn by Zhao Kuo overnight, which was divided into four parts, which was much more cumbersome than the ordinary bow and crossbow process, and the most important thing was that it had a huge crossbow body, the distance of the crossbow body was much shorter than that of ordinary bows and crossbows, and the internal structure was even more fine, with several wooden sticks supporting each other to form a loop, and it was impossible to figure out Zhao Kuo's intention for a while.
"General, whose hand is this picture from?"
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "It's just a whim painted by Zhao Kuo, although there is still something to discuss, but it has been roughly completed, and the rest depends on Brother Heihu!" ”
"This picture was drawn by Childe, incredible, incredible!" Hei Hu said two incredible things in a row, you must know that there are no less than hundreds of craftsmen who design weapons in the military alliance, and the bows and crossbows designed are far from being compared with those in their hands at this time, and several of the wooden poles are very exquisite.
Black Beard's brows furrowed, "General, can this kind of bow and crossbow really be realized?" ”
"Why not!"
Hei Hu put down the weapon diagram, "First, the crossbow body is too short, and the distance launched must be limited, so it loses the role of the bow and crossbow, and the current crossbow arrows are even more unsuitable, and the strength is insufficient, which will inevitably affect the accuracy, and the second is that the role of the wrench connected by the roller is unknown, even if it can be realized, the requirements for the crossbow body must be extremely high!" ”
Heihu is worthy of being born in the military alliance, most of the time with weapons as a companion, a sentence to say the pros and cons between Zhao Kuo's design of the crossbow and the ordinary bow and crossbow, loss of lethality, even if it can be done quickly It is useless, when the soldier is in battle, the soldier wears thick armor, and the ordinary bow and crossbow can be completely penetrated, and it also costs the soldier's body, and those who lack the strength of the arms cannot install the arrow at all.
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "What the leader of the black beard is worried about is not unreasonable, although this kind of bow and crossbow is smaller, but the strength is not weak at all, as for the arrow, Zhao Kuo has also considered whether it can be done with a shorter and sharper weight comparable to ordinary arrows!" ”
Heihu hesitated, "If the general can solve the arrows, Heihu will definitely go all out to develop this bow and crossbow!" ”
"It's a deal!"
Zhao Kuo slapped Hei Hu on the shoulder with a smile on his face, since the alliance with the Soldiers, the soldiers have entered Handan, and they have set up several weapons workshops, working non-stop every day, and the long swords, armor and other things needed by the new army are processed from here every day, and with the support of the Soldiers' Alliance, the armaments of the new army have been improved, and even surpassed the Handan guards.
"I didn't go to the armory shop for some days, and I was thinking about those brothers!"
"Then let's go together!"
Everyone walked out of the Governor's Mansion and went straight to the armory, the sound of beating kept coming, bursts of smoke came out of the chimney, one person picked up the firewood on the ground and quickly threw it under the big ding, there was a raging fire below, the four of them held the copper plate in their hands and kept fanning, the fire then rose, and after a while, the four people were already sweating profusely.
The ancient three bitterness is to support the boat to beat the iron and grind the tofu, each of which is a man who consumes the body, time passes slowly, one person breaks the wooden row above, a black liquid flows out from the top, falls into the mold below, one is full and then enters the next, goes down in turn, and finally stops, and the metal smelted each time is very limited.
Zhao Kuo knew in his heart that the weapons built during the Warring States period were very rough, and the material used was copper with a low melting point, which was doped with some bronze made of other metals.
The sword made by the Bing League is sharper, and the key is to know how to extract a harder material from the ore, which is later iron, which is separated from the iron ore by high temperature, and the molten iron is poured into the mold to cool and then forged.
Zhao Kuo had an idea, "If the arrows can be made of metal like the long sword, it may be able to solve the disadvantages caused by the weight and length." ”
Heihu nodded, "The general's idea can be tried, but refining this black metal is very difficult, and the firepower is not enough to smelt it at all." ”
Zhao Kuo smiled: "This is simple! After speaking, he came to the front and took out the pen, Hei Hu hurriedly stepped forward, and admired Zhao Kuo very much, many seemingly unsolvable problems could be easily resolved in Zhao Kuo's hands, only to see a rectangular character, with a handle on it, the handle can be passed through, with two hollows on both sides.
"General, what is the use of this thing?"
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "This is a bellows, which can quickly blow the wind in, and it can also save effort!" ”
The four men in charge of fanning the wind came closer, looking puzzled, "Bellows, really blow this thing into the refining furnace as the general said?" ”
Zhao Kuo nodded, "Just add a skin bag inside to achieve it!" ”
"If you can do it, it will save a lot of effort!"
Heihu picked up the drawings, "Immediately follow Childe's design plan!" ”
There was no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the alliance of soldiers, and after a short time, the two of them carried a long thing to the front, and everyone immediately gathered around, touching it with their hands very curiously, and wondering whether this long thing could really be used to increase the wind as the general said.
Zhao Kuo nodded, a strong man stepped forward, grabbed the handle with his arm, with a little uneasiness in his expression, his hands exerted force, pulled out with the lever of the pisai, and the air entered through the traps on both sides above, the strong man pushed hard in his hand, and the air accumulated in the box rushed out instantly, and a wave of fire rushed out suddenly, and the wind generated by the power of one person was far above the combined force of the four people, and the strong man was stunned there, most of them couldn't believe their eyes, and pulled out and pushed in again, and the wind was loud.
"You really can!"
"The general is a genius! But you can invent something that works with just a stroke. ”
"Start building a new smelting furnace immediately, this kind of bellows will also need to be done more, if you can develop a new type of bow and crossbow to produce metal arrows in large quantities!"
Hei Hu shook his shoulders, "This matter is handed over to the Bing League, and it will definitely live up to the general's trust!" ”
Zhao Kuo immediately, several big men took turns to step forward and twitch the bellows, and the curiosity in their eyes was gradually replaced by admiration, not only did they know how to lead troops to fight, but they were also design geniuses.
