Chapter 0754 Is This Okay?
After mid-August, the heat could already be clearly felt subsided.
At the weapons test site of the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau, A-mei stands in front of a large three-foot-high shelf.
She looked left and right, and bent down to see how well the joints of the shelves fit together.
There were also a dozen or so students around, each with a pen and paper, jot down any shortcomings that Mr. Mei might point out.
After checking it, Ah Mei nodded: "Yes, let people load the crossbow." ”
When the students heard this, they hurriedly put down their pen and paper, and several powerful students carried a giant crossbow not far away.
Not only was this giant crossbow larger than all the crossbows in the army, but it also had a strange style.
The crossbow arm is five feet long, and the crossbow bow is even more exaggerated, more than a foot long.
The string of the crossbow was thick, and the person who made the giant crossbow seemed to be too strong to add an extra thick string to the crossbow.
Just carrying this giant crossbow requires six students with great strength.
The students placed the giant crossbow on the shelf and fixed it at the same time.
Then a winch was attached to the end of the shelf, and a hook was wrapped around the winch.
After the installation, Amei stretched out her hand, and a student handed her a notebook.
She flipped through the notebook and wrote down the materials and sizes used in the various components of this giant crossbow.
After checking that it was correct, Amei ordered: "Okay, let's start." ”
The students quickly dispersed.
Several specially selected military wrestlers began to turn the winch according to the instructions of the students.
The hook gradually tightened, pulling the bowstring backwards, and then the crossbow squeaked.
Even if it is an empty string, just by listening to the sound, you can feel the tremendous power of this bed crossbow.
The thick bowstring slid through the trigger, and the military wrestlers, who were known for their strength, had to exert their strength to continue to pull the string hook.
"Quick, fast, fast."
Amei was far away, and some students commanded someone to hang the crossbow string on the trigger.
"Bring up the arrows!"
A large arrow, or as it should be called, was carried into the bow slot of the giant crossbow.
"Sir, it's ready."
Amei nodded: "Let it go." ”
The military wrestler got permission and slammed the hammer on the tooth machine.
A dull "peng" sound was heard, and the spear flew forward at an angle, as fast as lightning, and struck straight at the city wall three hundred paces ahead.
A cloud of dust flew up from the city walls.
The arrow bounced off, smashed to the ground, and bounced back until it hit the ground again, kicking up a cloud of dust again.
Ame frowned.
The effect is still very unsatisfactory.
The giant crossbows that can't shoot through the walls are all spicy chickens.
This is what the male monarch said to her when he taught her the general principles of the giant crossbow.
She remembers it very well.
So she built the giant crossbow with only one goal: to shoot through the city walls.
"On the number two."
She commanded decisively.
Compared to the first crossbow, the second crossbow seems to be the same at first glance.
But the type and material of the bowstring, and even the workmanship, are different from the No. 1.
The second crossbow was more effective, and it was already able to barely shoot a javelin at the city wall.
Soon a soldier stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed down slightly, and the javelin was easily torn out.
So Amei drew a cross on the page marked with the various parameters of No. 2.
The students also sighed.
As the backbone or future backbone of the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau, they naturally have an understanding of the bed crossbow in front of them.
I heard that this kind of bed crossbow was available in the pre-Qin period.
It's just that it's too bulky and too complicated to make.
It is rarely used in the military for many reasons, such as inconvenience.
It wasn't until the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau was entrusted by the mountain chief to reimprove this crossbow that Mr. Mei led the people and began to make this kind of crossbow.
It's just that this kind of improvement has not been done by the ancestors, and everyone can only explore it little by little.
These two models of bed crossbows are too far from what they imagined.
made Amei, a genius woman, a little irritable.
The materials, systems, and production processes of the giant crossbow do not have a complete framework.
The principle structure diagram given by the male gentleman also involves a lot of knowledge, and some of it has just been involved by himself.
Amei once again felt powerless: her knowledge still seemed to be far from enough.
She flipped through the back papers, and although there were still a few models that had not been tested, she could already deduce their approximate power based on the actual test results of the first two.
She walked back to the test site and sat down, waved her hand, and commanded, "The rest of you come, take notes." ”
Although the final result has been guessed, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, so I can only take it step by step to let my students lay some foundation and accumulate experience.
The test results of the third giant crossbow were similar to what Ame had imagined, but they were still far from meeting the requirements.
The students were preparing for the test of the fourth model when a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded at the entrance of the proving ground.
In the test ground, except in the case of concessions, you cannot ride a horse at will, let alone gallop inside.
The sound of horses' hooves drew many people to look at the source of the sound.
"Urgent report from the Captain of Huqiang's Mansion!"
A female knight carried a red order flag on her back, and her voice was hurried, "Mrs. Mei, please go home quickly!" ”
Ah Mei recognized that this was the female guard in the house, her face changed, Huo Ran got up, and hurriedly greeted her: "Are the prince and lady okay?" ”
No matter what happens in the house, as long as the male and female monarchs are fine, then everything is easy to say.
Before the horse could completely stop, the female guard turned over and dismounted vigorously, showing superb riding skills.
She ran up to Ame and handed over a token.
Then he leaned into Amey's ear and said a word in a voice that could only be heard by her.
"Hurry, hurry, prepare the car!"
Ah Mei listened to the words of the female guard and hurriedly commanded loudly.
Soon, a maid with a knife came over and escorted Ah Mei to the gate of the test site.
Ah Mei left in a hurry without leaving any instructions, leaving the students a little overwhelmed.
"What are we going to do?"
When I heard the "Urgent Report from the Captain's Mansion of the Protector Colonel" just now, anyone would be worried.
Because the Guardian Captain's Mansion, to a certain extent, represents the mountain chief.
Mountain chief, nothing will happen, right?
All the students were a little nervous.
"There is no movement in the barracks next door, so it must not be an urgent matter......
An older brother stood up and just said a word.
I could only hear a terrible whistle next door, piercing through the sky.
And there is not just one, but one after another.
This means that this is a collection of all the soldiers in the battalion.
Sure enough, after a while, bursts of shouting, counting sounds, and even the sound of neat and vigorous queues came to this side very clearly.
The students all looked at the senior brother who stood up to speak.
This senior brother wanted to slap himself.
"What, pack it up, be careful not to leave these materials behind."
"Especially Mr. Mei's books, you must not lose them."
Someone was ordered to collect all kinds of materials and books left by Amei.
The covers of these books were written with incomprehensible words such as "Solid Geometry", "Plane Analytic Geometry", and "Physics", which were carefully put away.
At this time, the Qiang's Captain's Mansion in the city had already been heavily defended by the maids with knives.
Because Feng Junhou went out on the expedition and took away most of the pro-guard troops, the peripheral troops were insufficient.
Therefore, the military camp outside the city received a military order, and selected a group of soldiers from Nanxiang to enter the city to guard the Qiang Captain's Mansion.
Around the Captain's Mansion, a blank area has been demarcated, and no one is allowed to approach without reason.
Amei's car galloped into the house, and before the carriage could stop, she jumped down and ran towards a small courtyard.
The pampering in the past few years has not made her lose the vitality she practiced in Nanzhong in the past.
The area around the small courtyard that was specially packed out for Guan Ji to be used as a delivery room was the most heavily guarded place in the Qiang's Captain's Mansion.
Zhang Xingyi was sitting in the courtyard, staring straight at the delivery room with the door closed.
Ah Mei ran into the small courtyard, and before she had time to salute her, she ran directly to the door of the delivery room: "Is the lady okay?" ”
Guan Ji's voice came from inside: "It's okay, it's not time yet." ”
Hearing the voice of the female monarch was peaceful and steady, Amei breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and blessed Zhang Xingyi, who was sitting there, "I've seen Little Lady Zhang." ”
Zhang Xingyi let out a "hmm" in his nose, and regarded it as a response.
Her eyes were still fixed on the door of the delivery room, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
There was a faint sound of voice from inside.
The content is nothing more than the words of the female medical worker comforting Guan Ji, as well as Guan Ji's chuckles from time to time, it seems that she is mentally prepared.
At least under the explanation of the female medical worker, Guan Ji was not too nervous.
Ah Mei stood at the door, heard the voice inside, and while relieving her heart, she realized that she was sweating wet.
She saluted Zhang Xingyi again, trotted out of the yard again, and returned to her place to take a bath.
Even his hair was scattered and carefully washed.
After washing all the body, he returned to the small courtyard where the female monarch was waiting for childbirth.
This time, there was already a snort in the delivery room.
Then there were the voices of encouragement from the female medical staff, and the constant orders to take something.
Suddenly, the delivery room was opened, and the maid who served in it came out with a basin, and after a while went in with hot water.
The voice of the female medical worker grew louder and louder.
Amei stood by the door, tugging at the corner of her clothes, and she felt that she was sweating again.
The voice of the female monarch's screaming became louder and louder, and Ah Mei stood by the door, only to feel some buzzing in her ears.
Zhang Xingyi stood up abruptly and rushed to the door of the delivery room with an anxious face.
Amei subconsciously wanted to block the door.
Fortunately, Zhang Xingyi had no intention of rushing in.
She stood in the doorway, listened intently, then turned and stomped back and forth.
At first, she just bit her lower lip tightly, but as Guan Ji's voice inside became more and more heartbreaking, Zhang Xingyi's little face also turned white.
She muttered to herself, not realizing what she was thinking.
However, when Amei passed by her, she could occasionally hear words such as "It's okay", "Kill a thousand knives", "Where is the person".
Now in this mansion, except for Guan Ji, Zhang Xingyi has the most power.
Mobilizing the soldiers and horses of the Captain Guard's Mansion and cleaning up the irrelevant personnel around the mansion was her own initiative by using Guan Ji's authority.
The one who killed a thousand knives was not here at this time.
In order to avoid suspicion, she had to use this method to show her attitude.
Zhang Xingyi glanced at Amei who was standing at the door.
Ah Mei felt Zhang Xingyi's gaze and lowered her head slightly, but her attitude at the door was not to let her go.
It was starting to get dark.
The people in the yard were all focused on the delivery room, and they didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all.
Guan Ji's voice has become a little hoarse from the loud at the beginning.
She really didn't expect that giving birth to a child would be more painful than being injured back then.
"Ah......h
"Madame!"
"Ahh......h
In the delivery room, Guan Ji's hand was tightly gripping the edge of the bed, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
The female medical worker fed her a bowl of ginseng soup to give her a little regain her strength.
"Alang!" Guan Ji hissed, "Feng Mingwen! ”
Zhang Xingyi heard the shouts inside, and his heart began to sink.
It's over, my sister's mind, isn't it already starting to get confused?
I heard that my sister also started to call the emperor's brother-in-law at the last moment.
There are quite a lot of mosquitoes in autumn, and the grass to repel mosquitoes is burned in the small courtyard.
Thick candles were lit, illuminating the delivery room as if it were daylight.
Looking at the swaying figure inside, Zhang Xingyi couldn't help tiptoeing and leaning on the window lattice, wanting to see the situation inside.
"Feng Yong!"
Guan Ji shouted again.
Ah Mei suddenly responded at this time: "Female monarch, male monarch has sent you a message." ”
"Say!"
The tiger girl screamed, heartbreaking.
Zhang Xingyi looked at Ah Mei fiercely.
The news coming from the front will pass through you.
Why didn't she know what Feng Mingwen had sent to her sister?
I only heard Amei open her mouth and read: "The wind rises in the Tiger Roaring Valley, and the dragon leaps into the clouds." ”
When the tiger girl heard this, her spirit was lifted, and then she shouted hard.
At this moment, the night breeze blew, making Zhang Xingyi a spirit.
This tiger roar is quite appropriate......
Amei slowly read down: "The same voice is good to correspond, and the same breath is self-seeking." ”
This sentence is also good, quite a husband sings with the meaning of a wife.
Guan Ji took a deep breath: "Ah......hhhhh
"I love my son, like a shadow chasing my body. Eat a total of roots and ears, and drink a cup of wine. ”
This means that husband and wife share weal and woe.
Guan Ji remembered that he went to Hanzhong with the one who had been stabbed a thousand times, and he started Nanxiang with his white hands, and the corner of his mouth showed a sweet smile of memory.
And then the tears flowed: "Ahhh......h
"The clothes are made of double silk, and the bed is seamless. I am willing to sit on my knees, and I am willing to work hand in hand. ”
As soon as these two sentences came out, let alone Guan Ji, even Zhang Xingyi's face was red, so frightened that she almost couldn't help but cover her face and run away.
How can such a lingering private matter between men and women be said like this?
Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but "puff" in his heart: shameless!
"Zijing, I don't move, Ziyou I don't stay. Qi Pi concentric birds, such as this flounder. ”
The sentence is a good sentence, but I just remembered that I was suffering such a great pain, but the one who suffered a thousand knives led the troops to the battle.
Guan Ji finally became angry and hissed: "Liar! ”
Then she only felt a sudden lightness under her, and the midwife's medical worker picked up the child and patted it gently.
"Wow!"
A loud baby cry rang out.
Is that okay?
Zhang Xingyi opened his mouth wide and looked at Amei blankly.
Ame wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"It's a son-in-law......"
The voice of the female medical worker rang out.
"Son-in-law?"
When Zhang Xingyi heard this, the look on his face became a little strange.
The child in my sister's womb has received the attention of many people.
I don't know how many people have a lot of thoughts, hoping that the Feng family's first child will be a boy.
Now my sister has given birth to a girl...... Things seem to be getting interesting.
The door of the delivery room was opened, Zhang Xingyi collected his mood and was about to enter the door.
Suddenly, there was another shout.
"Quick! Close the door! ”
"Bang!"
Zhang Xingyi was caught off guard and almost hit the door.
"What's going on?"
"And one more, ma'am, keep ...... hard"
Listening to the scrambled voices inside, Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? ”
"Where's the poem?"
Guan Hunu suddenly shouted inside.
Ah Mei finally woke up from her stupe, she opened her mouth, but she didn't remember where she had just read for a while.
Zhang Xingyi reacted quickly and quickly reminded, "Flounder!" ”
Amei glanced at Zhang Xingyi gratefully, and hurriedly read: "Love is broken to the golden stone, and the glue paint is not imprisoned." ”
Zhang Xingyi listened sourly.
"I hope that there will be no difference, and I will become one."
"Liar!"
The tiger girl scolded again.
"Wow!"
"It's a little Langjun."
Zhang Xingyi was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Such an evil ......"
She only said one word, then paused abruptly and said again, "Is this okay?" Both children? ”
