Chapter 30: Repeater Blueprints

After negotiating some details, Cao Liang was ready to get up and say goodbye, but before leaving, he still remembered one thing.

"Mr. Ma, I heard that you were very appreciative of the captured Shu repeater, but at the same time pointed out some of its shortcomings, saying that this repeater can be improved, and the efficiency can be increased by five times, is it true?"

Zhuge repeater is a big killing weapon, it can be called a machine gun in the era of cold weapons, because the catapult is bulky, there are not many occasions for use, but Zhuge repeater is different, it can be used in any combat situation, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is a rare weapon.

But what makes Cao Liang strange is that among the Three Kingdoms, only the Shu army is used, Wei and Shu have fought many times, and there will definitely be captures, as long as the physical object is obtained, the difficulty of imitation is not too great.

But in the end, the Wei Dynasty and even the later Western Jin Dynasty armies were not equipped with such weapons, could it be that the military commanders of the Wei and Jin dynasties really didn't look down on Zhuge Repeater?

In short, the Zhuge crossbow disappeared in the long river of history with the fall of the Shu Kingdom, and later generations can only rely on simple information and conjecture to try to restore the Zhuge crossbow, but there are few successes.

What kind of artifact is this Zhuge repeater, Cao Liang really has a glimpse of it.

As for the improved version of the repeater that Ma Jun said, whether it really has five times the efficiency of the original version, Cao Liang doesn't care, as long as Ma Jun can imitate the exact same repeater, it is already the biggest gain.

Ma Jun didn't say a word, but turned around and ran to the corner, tossing and turning around in that corner for most of the day, and finally found a roll of drawings, turned around and handed it to Cao Liang.

Just by looking at the dust that has fallen on it, you can see how many years this drawing has not been touched.

"If Gongzi Cao likes it, he will give it to ...... I'll give it to you. Ma Jun was not stingy.

There is no patent right for the invention of this era, Ma Jun's wish is actually very simple, he just wants to turn the things he invented and designed into truly useful objects, benefit the public, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

is such a selfless dedication, those in power in Cao Wei still love to ignore it, just like this design of the crossbow, Ma Jun has already designed it, and submitted it to the court several times, but it was rejected, and in the end it was not adopted, so it could only be thrown into the corner by Ma Jun and covered with ashes.

Even the reason, the superiors didn't bother to give Ma Jun one, maybe they felt that the army of Great Wei was already strong enough, and there was no need to rely on these gadgets of obscene skills to improve combat effectiveness, and those bows and crossbows in the replacement army seemed to be completely unnecessary, costing the people and money.

Fu Xuandu once sighed with emotion, what Ma Jun did was the essence of the country, and the army had to use it, and it took ten fathoms of wood and the strength of two people to test whether it was right or wrong, but it was a pity that the superior always used his heart to treat all things in the world, and blamed him for no reason, but he turned a blind eye to things that were beneficial to the country, no wonder Jing He cried so much, Ma Jun's experience was roughly the same.

And what Cao Liang wants to say is that MMP, bureaucracy kills people.

Cao Liang respectfully took the drawing with both hands, as if he had received a rare treasure, no, for Cao Liang, this drawing is much more precious than any treasure, no matter how valuable the treasure is, it is also valuable, and this drawing is clearly a priceless treasure.

Cao Liang cautiously opened the drawing, sure enough, the drawing above is the production drawing of the repeater, in order to design the repeater, Ma Jun is wasted sleep and forget to eat, painstakingly and painstakingly, several changes to the draft, this drawing, it is really perfect, the craftsmen only need to make it according to the drawings, you can make the world-famous repeater.

Now Cao Liang's mood is inexplicably excited, this is what he dreams of, there is nowhere to find it when he steps on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Cao Liang put away the drawings, said goodbye to Ma Jun and Fu Xuan, and left the Ma family.

Looking at the shadow of the sun slanting westward, Ah Fu hurriedly persuaded Cao Liang to go back: "Little Marquis, it's really not early, if you don't go back, I'm afraid Madam will be worried." ”

Cao Liang nodded indispensably, today's trip out, it is simply a profit, not only traveling in the mountains and waters, but also unexpectedly harvesting two treasures, catapults and repeaters, the most important thing, and Ma Jun has a relationship, such a top mechanical expert, in any dynasty are hot figures, others abandon them like shoes, Cao Liang can be regarded as a treasure.

Now that the harvest is full, it's really time to go home.

The mountain of Beibi Mountain is not precipitous, the pine and cypress, the scenery is beautiful, the wild path on the mountain is vertical and horizontal, although it is not wide, but the traffic is extremely convenient.

When I went up the mountain before, I came from the station of the Xiaocai battalion, and at this time I went directly back to Luoyang City, and I didn't walk the way I came, and after turning the mountain beam in front, the sharp-eyed Ah Fu shouted: "Little Hou Ye, aren't the people in front of us the people we met in the morning?" ”

Cao Liang looked over, there was a tomb in front of him, kneeling in front of the tomb to worship, wasn't it the young lady they met in the morning, the old coachman who drove the car and the maid with a particularly vicious mouth were standing on the side, not far behind him, there were two family guards with knives.

Cao Liang suddenly realized, it turned out that the young lady was going up the mountain to pay homage to the graves of her ancestors, no wonder she was in a hurry?

But at the same time, Cao Liang was also a little puzzled, although it is now February, but there is still some time before the Qingming Festival, this girl will come to worship now, is it a little early?

The most important thing in Beibi Mountain is the tomb, and this is not a mass grave, and people who have no identity still can't be buried in Beibi Mountain.

Beibi Mountain is the mausoleum of the emperor alone, there are more than a dozen, the royal tombs of the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, all in the Beibi Mountain, including the original mausoleum of Emperor Liu Xiu of Han Guangwu, the Wenling Mausoleum of Emperor Liu Hong of Han Ling, and the Shouyang Mausoleum of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen. In addition, this is also the burial place of the famous ministers and military generals, the Qin Dynasty Lü Buwei, the Han Dynasty Fan Xu, Jia Yi, Ban Chao and so on are all buried here, the North Mountain can be called the place of the requiem of the emperors and generals of the past dynasties.

"There are tombs on the North Mountain, and the eternal years are against Los Angeles. The sun and evening songs in the city are up, and the sound of pines and cypresses is heard on the mountain. ”

"Mangmang is in the north of the mountain, and the high tomb is ownerless. Only the stone unicorn, facing each other in the autumn rain. ”

"Once you are 100 years old, you will return to the north."

There are countless poems that have sung about Beibi Mountain in the past dynasties, and this treasure land of feng shui has become a place where many people are haunted by their dreams.

Cao Liang sighed, Ma Jun is really big-hearted, others are buried in Beibi Mountain after death, he is good, he is a neighbor with so many princes and generals, and he is not afraid of nightmares at night.

Cao Liang walked slowly, and when he passed by the tombstone, he deliberately glanced at it, wanting to see who the owner of the tombstone was.
