821 New Weapons Completed

That's what these writers are capable of.

Obviously, they didn't take it seriously and put the unimportant documents in an inconspicuous position, but when the emperor asked, they picked them all up, but it was like the emperor was too busy to scruple about it, and they brought it with them in a word.

But this matter is placed in the current rules of the imperial court, and there is really no way to pursue it, even Liu Che, who is not very good-tempered, just waved his hand towards the small yellow door in front of him after taking a breath, and asked people to move those boxes that were almost sealed up and dusted into the small hall where he discussed politics.

'Da-da. ’

With the landing of this heavy box, Gu Zheng's achievements in the past half a year were finally displayed in front of Liu Che's eyes.

As the yellow doors below unfolded these drawings one by one, Liu Che, who was sitting at the top, also turned from casual at the beginning to solemn waiting.

This emperor with a hilly chest, but after reading the construction diagram of the three types of bows and crossbows drawn above, he hurriedly waved his hand to let the person who started it, and rolled these bamboo slips and silk silk silk as they were.

It wasn't until the last bamboo tube was neatly tied up that he was truly relieved.

With a bit of seriousness, he gave an order to all the people in this hall to be tightly sealed.

Then he glanced at Zhang Qian, and it wasn't until the box was stored in the secret treasury of the imperial court that Liu Che temporarily settled down.

"You are like this, these boxes still need to send two people to guard, now go and recruit the chief supervisor, Gu Gongshi and other relevant personnel into the palace, I will have an interview with them. ”

"Whoa!"

The person who received the order quickly retreated, and the hearts of Zhang Qian and the others, who were sitting under Liu Che, rolled up like a stormy wave.

They are excited, apprehensive, and unspeakably excited and nervous.

Because just by relying on the instructions on the drawings handed over by Gu Zheng, they could understand the advanced nature of these weapons after they were roughly seen, and after they were produced...... Importance when defending against cavalry ranks.

This is an epoch-making weapon, and it is a weapon that can make or break the outcome of an encounter.

But how could the courtiers who had the heart of a strong man not be excited after seeing these weapons?

……

The time passed in a slightly anxious waiting, and when the man with his head bowed and honest face was brought into the temple, everyone had a little impatient sound.

"Gu Aiqing, how sure are you that the things you presented will be completed?"

At this time, Liu Che couldn't care about the emperor's prestige, he leaned around the case, just to get closer to Gu Zheng.

And the man at the bottom did not disappoint him in the end, a well-behaved word: "ten" immediately calmed Liu Che's heart.

"That's good! Gu Aiqing, you are really a hero of the imperial court, but I don't know how long it takes to forge these weapons, and how much silver does it cost?"

Hearing Liu Che's inquiry, Gu Zheng also understood in seconds, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and according to the exchange rate at this time, he compared a figure of five, but for the time of weapon production, the data he gave was a blur of three points.

"If you only make a handful of samples, it will probably cost the cost mentioned by Wechen. ”

"However, if the government-run workshops were to start working together and produce the parts in batches, it would be at least half the cost. ”

"And the time is reduced to a minimum. ”

"In the end, the craftsmen who are familiar with it will produce enough standard weapons for 1,000 people in about ten years. ”

"Oh?" Liu Che, who heard this production efficiency, was very surprised, and continued to ask with Gu Zheng's words: "Isn't this made of new materials?

Hearing this, Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and handed over the second forging technique of the steel filling method that had only been prepared this morning.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the blade steel filling method that Weichen has just developed. ”

"If it is according to Weichen's method, as long as the blade made of new materials is poured on the original standard knife, it can not only save most of the work time, but also save more money for the imperial court. ”

"The old weapons do not need to be completely eliminated, they only need to be further processed on the basis of the original and can continue to be used. ”

"This casting process will be more in line with the current situation of the imperial court, and it can also save His Majesty more trouble. ”

What's the trouble? The military spending overrun has caused a rift among various departments.

If it is according to what Gu Zheng said, then this new skill is combined with the old weapon, so mixed with it, even if it is the conservative and pro-faction, they will not be able to say a word of objection.

Liu Che was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was sitting at the top, but he still held back his excited heart and continued to ask seriously.

"So, if Gu Aiqing wants to see the samples of several weapons on this drawing, how many days will it take to complete it?"

It's the mule or the horse that has to be pulled out and slipped, you can't just look at the...... As soon as you get started, it becomes tofu scum, right?

And Gu Zheng, who was standing at the bottom, seemed to know what Liu Che wanted to ask, so he arched his hand and answered the emperor's inquiry again.

"Your Majesty, it took Wei Chen ten and a half years to design the drawings and forging process of these weapons, and it took another ten and a half years to complete the forging, smelting and assembly of various parts. ”

"Now, behind the minister, there are samples of various weapons that entered the palace with the minister. ”

"It inevitably broke the rule that it was forbidden to carry weapons in the palace, and when Weichen brought them into the palace, they were transported in the form of disassembled parts. ”

"If Your Majesty is interested, Weichen is not talented, you can assemble it on the spot, and when the finished product is synthesized, please ask Your Majesty to test it in person. ”

Hearing Gu Zheng's reply, Liu Che was truly relieved.

He laughed happily, and with a wave of his hand, he approved Gu Zheng's request for on-site assembly.

"Then what are you waiting for, come on, come on, all of you, Aiqing, let's come and take a look, and see how our Han Dynasty's enemy killing weapon is completed. ”

Hearing this, the team of his cronies who were originally sitting on both sides of Liu Che ran fast, one by one...... surrounded Gu Zheng and the big box behind him.

To say that this little craftsman is really bold, under the gaze of a young and promising courtier, he still does not blush, his heart does not beat, and his hands do not tremble, and the parts on the weapon are arranged one by one, and they begin to be combined in the same way.

And Pang Jianzao on the side was not idle, following Gu Zheng's instructions, handing over parts for him one by one.

Such a skillful cooperation, at first glance, is a tacit understanding that can only be run in after doing countless times on weekdays.

The people around watched the palms of these two people fly up and down, and while marveling at the precision of these weapons, they also sincerely admired the craftsmanship of these craftsmen who had never known before.

The master is in the folk, if he is in the other party's position, it is really hard to say whether he can make such a subtle thing.

Because of Gu Zheng and Pang Jianzao's performance, the people in this room all retracted the little contempt they had at the beginning, and really put the other party on an equal footing and treated each other.

'Click'

Everyone was still immersed in this kind of ghostly assembly, and the last part of Gu Zheng's hand was also perfectly combined by him on the bow and crossbow he was now holding on his arm.

It was a cavalry crossbow, three circles more elaborate than today's bow and crossbow system.

It has changed from a two-handed crossbow to a crossbow that can be fired with one arm.

In contrast, it is self-evident who is more suitable for operating on horseback.

I don't know how powerful this bow is, and what is the maximum range of the crossbow.

As if seeing Liu Che's question, Gu Zheng once again took out a pack of unopened crossbow arrows from the edge of the box, and placed it in front of Liu Che to salute: "Fortunately, the cavalry crossbow has been assembled, please choose a test target location to test the power of this bow and crossbow." ”

"Well, that's how it should be, why don't you go with me to the backyard and let me test the power of this crossbow myself. ”

The big leaders have spoken, what can you say, one by two said yes, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor snatched the bow and crossbow in Gu Zheng's hand, and ran in the direction of the back garden, everyone could only chase behind them with their robes.
