Chapter 767: Leverage and Fluid Mechanics (Subscription Requested)
Archimedes.
When the Beastmaster Chariot and the Blood Angel walked down the hillside to the southeast from the south gate with ten escorts, and saw Archimedes, the old man in his seventies and eighties was carrying two large ordnance ten meters high to the city with hundreds of young men.
"What is this? Trebuchet? ”
Looking at such a big guy, the blood angel's eyes began to glow.
Archimedes' trebuchet was unlike anything she had ever seen in the plane. In the simplest way to tell the difference, it's very complicated.
At a glance, you can see many fine machine parts.
"Click~Click~"
When the huge trebuchet was pushed up to the top of the city to be fixed, the gray-bearded old man and his assistant began to pull the levers one by one.
Put down the three stone tools and fill them with rolling stones and spears.
When these preparations were completed, the old man went around to the other side, grabbed the thickest and longest lever and pulled it violently.
"Whoosh"
Mixed with the sound of violent wind, the three stone tools immediately rose rapidly from the ground.
When the stone hair reaches its highest point, the internal card slot opens, and a force of thrust throws the Rolling Stone Lance directly.
Crossed a parabola and threw it directly towards the coastal harbor.
It was originally a seaport in Syracuse, but now it has been captured by the Romans and used to dock their Roman ships.
Boulders were thrown from the heights and mercilessly landed in and around the harbor.
The harbor building that was hit collapsed in an instant, and the Beastmaster Chariot and the Blood Angel also noticed that two of the harbor warships that were being taken care of were crying for help.
After a while, the ship sank directly to the bottom, and only a small mast was exposed on the sea.
"It's so powerful!"
The Blood Angel has reason to believe that this is not something that ordinary trebuchets can do.
Although it has a condescending advantage, the attack distance of hundreds of meters cannot be ignored, and it seems that it can directly smash and sink the warship, which shows how powerful this thing is.
It's not Yuanwu, but it's comparable to Yuanwu!
The blood angel's eyes were dazzling, and the young and middle-aged laborers on the side also began to cheer. This is the result of their hard work with Archimedes these days.
They are also honored to have such power.
"One more time!"
Archimedes waved his hand, ready to repeat his old trick.
At this time, the rest of the warships outside the harbor were quickly pulling up their sails.
When the second and third rounds of projectiles sank five ships again, the rest of the ships outside the harbor sailed away one after another.
They won't be near the harbor anytime soon.
Archimedes had no choice but to take it as soon as he saw this, and when he turned around with a slightly bulky step, he saw two young men, looking straight at him.
"Greetings, Dear Mr. Archimedes."
In the face of such a transcendent wise man, even if the Beastmaster Chariot was not a Greek, it was the greatest respect and admiration, so when Archimedes was busy just now, they did not rush forward to disturb.
It wasn't until Archimedes shook his head in regret and stopped attacking that they came over.
"Who are you?"
"We have come from a remote town to help the viscount lord of your country defending the city."
The Beastmaster Chariot first made a brief introduction, and then looked around: "Sir, can you find a quieter place, our two juniors have something to ask you." ”
"Come with me."
Archimedes paused, looked at the Roman army assembled outside the city, and said, "I don't have much time, because I have to lead them and defend their homeland. ”
War!
Let an old man who was originally obsessed with scientific research have to appear at the forefront of the battlefield in person.
The Beastmaster Chariot nodded silently and followed Archimedes into a small building on the Acropolis.
It was not originally Archimedes' residence, but after the outbreak of war, it became Archimedes' home.
There are various leather scrolls scattered around the house, and there are even traces of various engravings on the floor and table.
Judging by the clutter in the house, and the new appearance of the giant stone machine, it was clear that Archimedes had created such a weapon of war in a hurry.
"Tell me, young noble lord, why are you here?"
"Sir, please take a look at this." The Beastmaster chariot did not talk nonsense, took out a cowhide roll from his storage items, and handed it to Archimedes.
Archimedes took it suspiciously, and when he completely spread out the cowhide roll on the table, he raised his head sharply in less than two or three seconds, and his burning eyes were fixed on the Beastmaster chariot: "Where did you get this thing?" ”
"By chance, it's a pity that the younger generation can't understand it."
The Beastmaster Chariot replied with a smile, and then said, "But I think of a wise man like Sir, I should be able to understand, so I hurried here, hoping to help you a little." ”
"No, no, I'm not sure I'll be able to figure it all out."
Archimedes quickly shook his head when he heard this, but then said: "But I beg you, can you let me watch it for two more days, it is too important, Syracuse needs it, and the people here also need it." ”
"Please."
The Beastmaster Chariot felt a burst of joy in his heart, and his face did not move and said: "It belongs to you now." ”
Archimedes didn't pay any attention to this, and stopped being verbose, and lay down at the table again, picking up his pen and some special tools.
Seeing that Archimedes had put all his thoughts on the cowhide scroll in the blink of an eye, the blood angel pulled the beastmaster's chariot. When the two of them left the house together, they spoke, "What did you show him?" Mess him up? ”
"A great gift!"
"Don't talk to me."
"Well, it's actually a kind of vitality defense weapon, have you seen those sci-fi movies? A light mask that can envelop an area and resist outside attacks is that kind of thing. ”
Defensive Elemental Martial Arts?
The Blood Angel raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Are you sure that Archimedes in this world can understand it?" ”
"I'm not sure about others, but his words are at least seventy percent likely."
"Why?"
"Because he was Archimedes, levers made him famous, but in fact fluid mechanics was his pinnacle theory." The Beastmaster Chariot smiled and sighed: "Non-Newtonian fluids are very magical existences, and it just so happens that my 'Silver Flow Sky' is a combination of fluid mechanics and Yuan Qi defense. So in this world, there should be no one better to interpret this kind of thing than Archimedes. ”
Fluid?
The Blood Angel is very unfamiliar with this thing, and the only impression is that some idle people will use the fluid as a video prop to shoot bullet penetrating shots.
As for the rest, she didn't know anything.
"Okay, whether it's a lever or a fluid, which means we'll have to rely on him for this copy?"
"That's right, so until Archimedes succeeds, we have to make sure that Syracuse doesn't fall."
