"I.. May I ask why the Short Crossbow has burst fire and ultra-long range? Is there any rationale for this? Ying Chang couldn't help but ask curiously.

In this different world, the repeater has not yet been developed, that is to say, Fang Zi created the first repeater in this different world, which is destined to be recorded in the history of Kyushu, this is a history, in addition to the continuous shooting to be recorded in the history books, the ultra-long-range range must also be recorded in the history books.

Although there are many more crossbows with a long range than short crossbows, this is a short crossbow, and such a small object can emit such great power, which is definitely a milestone in the history of Kyushu's weapon evolution.

And the reason why Ying Chang wanted to ask Fang Zi about the principle was that he wanted to apply this principle to other weapons, such as the eight-stone strong crossbow itself has a distance of 600 steps, if this technology is added, wouldn't the range be doubled? Plus continuous shooting, my obedient, when the time comes, I don't need infantry to fight, and directly sweep the enemy with a rain of arrows!

A truly strategic weapon!

"This..."The old Fang and Fang Zi looked at each other, their expressions were embarrassed, and the eyes of many blacksmiths also became a little strange, just when Ying Chang was puzzled, Kong Lu leaned into Ying Chang's ear and whispered; Your Majesty, blacksmiths will not pass on their own unique skills, they will either pass them on to their relatives and disciples, or pass them on to their clansmen. ”

When Ying Chang heard this, he suddenly realized, and after a little silence, he said to Fang Zi: "Fang Zi, are you willing to offer your unique skills?" ”

Lao Fang and Fang Zi made eye contact, and Fang Zi bent down and replied: "The grass people are willing!" ”

After Fang Zi finished speaking, he picked up the short crossbow and came to Yingchang's body, pointed at the thin string on the short crossbow with his finger and said: "Your Majesty, the short crossbow is equipped with a total of ten thin strings, two corresponding to a short arrow, when the crossbow machine is pulled, the first thin string will shoot the short arrow, and when the short arrow leaves the string, the second thin string will bounce on the arrow at a speed beyond the naked eye, this is the second borrowing!" ”

"Generally, arrows only have one bowstring borrowing, and the short crossbow has two borrowing, so it can shoot a distance of three hundred and fifty paces, as for continuous shooting, it is also the reason for ten strings, in fact, the principle is very simple, but few people use this principle, and the grass people just had a whim and made this short crossbow!"

"I see!"

"Haha, I see, I see!"

"The Fang family is really arrogant, this is all said!"

When all the blacksmiths heard this, they all smiled excitedly, they all felt that they had learned something amazing, and at the same time admired the Fang family for not hiding their secrets.

"Good, good!" Ying Chang shouted twice in a row with satisfaction, and then immediately said: "Chang Xiang Yiyi!" ”

"Listen!" Chang Zifei hurriedly responded.

"Fang Zi has successfully developed a short crossbow, and he is willing to share its principle, and he will be given the official title of Ninth Rank and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!" Ying Chang said with a smile on his face.

"Yes!" Chang Zifei bowed down respectfully in response, then turned around and exited the shooting range, to arrange the rewards and canonize the holy decree.

"One thousand taels!"

"Shhh

"I'm still an official, a nine-rank official, this is relative to a small county order!"

"My good man, the family below has suddenly changed from a mud leg to an official eunuch's house, it's amazing!"

When the blacksmiths heard about the reward, they were able to stuff a duck egg in their mouths!

What does a thousand taels of silver compare to? According to their current salary of two taels a month, one thousand taels is worth more than one thousand taels compared to their total salary for fifty years, and the rank of Zhengjiupin, which is worth more than one thousand taels.

Yes, there have been before, but those people are legends that will be passed down through the ages.

While envying Fang Zi, all the blacksmiths were also full of strength, their eyes were full of hope, Fang Zi created a short crossbow and was sealed, so if they also created a new weapon in His Majesty's mouth, wouldn't they also be able to be sealed!

Hope, hope to get ahead!

"Haha, I am an official, there are also people in our old Fang family who are officials, this ancestral tomb is smoking, smoking!" Fang Lao danced excitedly, and he almost fainted with excitement.

Fang Zi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, feeling that all this was like a dream, I became an official? My blacksmith son turned out to be an official? and got a thousand taels of silver.

Rich!

"Fellow craftsmen, if you have unique skills, you can report to the Ordnance Order Kong Lu here, and I will not be stingy with rewards for any unique skills that are beneficial to the Ordnance Division, and if you also develop new weapons like Fang Zi, I will also give you official titles!" Ying Chang said to everyone with a solemn expression.

"Good! Good! The blacksmiths responded excitedly.

In this industry, that person doesn't have any unique skills in his hands, but he usually doesn't dare to show it, because as soon as this thing is taken out, it is equivalent to smashing his own job.

But now, there's no need to hide secrets.

"The scale of the Ordnance Department is still small, and I will definitely expand the Ordnance Department to 10,000 people!" Winning is amazing!

"Shhh

"Ten thousand? Oh my God, is Your Majesty going to recruit all the blacksmiths in Kyushu? ”

"10,000 people, it's terrible!"

"Our current scale is already huge in any empire, and Your Majesty still wants to expand, it is still 10,000 people."

As soon as they heard that the Ordnance Department was going to expand to 10,000 people, many blacksmiths were shocked, what a scale of 10,000 people, the entire six yamen combined did not have more people than the Ordnance Department, and the Ordnance Department was afraid that it would become the first yamen of Daqin.

At the same time, there are also many blacksmiths who think that it is unrealistic, the blacksmiths of the entire Great Qin add up to about a thousand at most, where did the 10,000 blacksmiths come from, is it really necessary to pull all the blacksmiths in Kyushu over? It's even more unrealistic, it's too far.

Not only were the blacksmiths shocked and unrealistic, but so was the Ordnance Commander Kong Lu.

"This recruitment does not recruit blacksmiths, but recruits apprentices, recruits 10,000 apprentices from the people, and when the time comes, you national craftsmen will bring at least five apprentices and teach them how to build battle armor weapons, of course, I will not let you teach in vain, teach one, reward one or two silver, and after ten churches, the instructor will not have to do things, only need to supervise the work of his apprentices, and the salary will not be reduced, I can guarantee that the salary will not decrease but rise, and the church's ten monthly salaries will increase by two taels of silver, that is, four taels a month!"

In order to expand the scale and efficiency of the Ordnance Division, Yingchang had to use nirvana.

When the blacksmiths heard the first half of the sentence, they were a little unhappy, teaching people this thing is very taboo in this industry, and taught them, what do you do? When the time comes, the upper echelons feel that they are useless, and when they are old, can't they kick themselves out at will?

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the worries in the hearts of the blacksmiths suddenly disappeared, and they showed joy instead.
