Chapter 1164: Ten Consecutive Crossbows
After Mo Chuan and Shen Ning left the post house, they remained silent and did not say a word on the way back to the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Shen Ning didn't speak, and the two of them sat in the carriage, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Mo Chuan took out the crossbow drawings from his arms, and looked at them carefully one by one, his face did not show much joy because he got the drawings, and his two long eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.
He originally thought that if he found the drawings in the box, then this incident could prove that the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty was making trouble, and the thief shouted to catch the thief.
But Shen Ning said it conclusively, saying that this matter had nothing to do with the envoy of the Northern Qi, and he was wronged.
As a result, the suspect who sent someone to sneak into the post house to steal the drawings became confusing.
And the two most suspicious people, one is Shang Shuli of the Ministry of War, and the other is Chu Shaoyang, the king of Dingyuan.
Either way, he didn't want to be the main messenger of this incident.
"This five-repeat crossbow, after it is built, can it fire five arrows at a time?" Shen Ning's gaze fell on the drawing in Mo Chuan's hand, and he glanced at it casually a few times, and then asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Ning'er, you can actually understand the weapon drawings?"
Mo Chuan was a little surprised, this kind of complex design drawing, if he hadn't learned the art of forging, ordinary people wouldn't have understood it at all.
Even he asked for a few books on forging for a few days before he could get a glimpse of the door.
Shen Ning smiled slightly, she had indeed dabbled in this kind of cold weapon manufacturing atlas book, although she couldn't understand it very well, but there were graphics and written records about this in the memory palace in her mind.
"I know a little bit about it, but these five crossbows don't look unusual, is it powerful to fire five arrows at once?"
She recalled the books she remembered about repeaters, the most famous of which was the Zhuge repeater, which is said to be a repeater made by Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, which can fire ten arrows at a time, and the firepower is very powerful, but the disadvantage is that it is too large and too heavy for a single person to use.
Later, there was a great inventor in the Wei State, Ma Jun, who improved the Zhuge repeater, and the improved repeater became smaller, lighter and more agile, and could be used by individual soldiers, but the most powerful thing was that it could fire fifty arrows at a time, and the killing power was huge, but unfortunately the production method had been lost.
Listening to Shen Ning's words, Mo Chuan's brows stretched, touched her hair, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, this manufacturing drawing of the five-repeating crossbow is invaluable, Dongqin and Nanyue are all eyeing it, a crossbow that can fire five arrows at a time, do you say it is powerful?"
Shen Ning blinked, and suddenly said, "I know that there is a crossbow that can fire ten arrows at a time. ”
Mo Chuan was slightly surprised: "Ten arrows, so powerful?"
He then nodded and said: "Well, I believe that there must be people in this world who have made ten consecutive crossbows, it should be Northern Qi, otherwise they will definitely not sell the drawings of the five consecutive crossbows, they have already made ten consecutive crossbows, naturally there will be no more rare five consecutive crossbows, but these five consecutive crossbows are a good weapon that we can't ask for in Western Chu." ”
Shen Ning couldn't help but glance at him, cleared his throat, and said, "Mo Chuan, I mean, I can draw a design drawing of the Ten Consecutive Crossbows. ”
"What did you say?"
Rao is face did not change in front of the Mochuan landslide, and his body was also shocked, and he looked at Shen Ning in disbelief.
