October 184 A.D.

At this time, it was early autumn, and Liu Yi, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu came to the Arsenal Division as usual.

As soon as I entered the door of the Arsenal Division, I saw Blacksmith Li on crutches, supported by two apprentices, walking down from the wooden building step by step.

Looking at Blacksmith Li's anxious appearance, Liu Yi hurriedly ran to the wooden building.

"Master Li, slow down!"

When the three people on the stairs heard this, they hurriedly raised their heads, and when they saw that it was Liu Yi, Blacksmith Li hurriedly put his hands on the shoulders of the two apprentices, asking the two to help themselves down quickly.

Liu Yi, who was on the side, saw that he also hurriedly stepped forward to help Blacksmith Li.

"Master Li, let's change the room to the first floor in the future, you are so old, it is not convenient to go upstairs back and forth!"

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your concern!" The bones of the old child's body can't be scattered for a while! ”

After helping Blacksmith Li down, everyone walked all the way to the side of the building room where weapons were made.

Just as everyone was halfway there, a young man in his early twenties in front of him hurriedly ran over.

"Why are you so flustered? Didn't you see the lord here? What a frizzy system! Blacksmith Li's face turned cold, and he began to teach the man a lesson.

Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly smiled and persuaded, "Hey~ Master Li, why be angry about such a trivial matter!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yi looked at the young man who had come to everyone and smiled, "What happened?" ”

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Back to the lord, the weapon has been cured!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi was overjoyed, and even Blacksmith Li, who had a blaming face just now, smiled.

"Where? Take us to see it! Liu Yi asked excitedly.

"My lord, please come with me!"

Then, Liu Yi and the others hurriedly ran to the building room on the side.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the ground was full of all kinds of wood waste, and the waste on the ground made people have nowhere to put their feet for a while.

In the dimly lit room, more than a dozen middle-aged people in their thirties and forties were fiddling around something like a long box, and their faces were excited, and the heavy dark circles under their eyes showed that these people were extremely sleep-deprived.

Hearing a sound at the door, more than a dozen people hurriedly turned around.

"Meet the Lord!" Seeing that the person who came was Liu Yi, everyone hurriedly knelt on the sawdust and worshipped.

"Hurry up, please!" Liu Yi knew what these people were surrounding and hurriedly called everyone.

"This is the repeater I want?" Liu Yi pointed to the wooden box surrounded by everyone and asked urgently.

In other words, since Liu Yi met Zhang Jiao in Chen Liu, he deeply felt the role of archers in battle, especially when defending the city. However, because of the different quality of equipment and personnel at that time, if you want to train a strong team of archers, you can't get down after ten or eight years.

Liu Yi remembered the Zhuge repeater recorded in the history books, according to the history books, the Zhuge repeater is simple to use, does not require the user to have a high level of shooting, and can shoot ten arrows in a row, in this era can be regarded as a semi-automatic rifle, so after Liu Yi came back, he told Li Blacksmith and others the idea of wanting to build a repeater.

After months of contemplation and various experiments, a simple sample was finally developed. That's what looks like a wooden box in front of you.

Hearing Liu Yi's inquiry, everyone hurriedly nodded excitedly.

Seeing this, Liu Yi clasped his hands and laughed.

"Hurry up~ take it out and show it to me!"

After a while, the group lifted the prototype of the repeater out and placed it on a special wooden shelf.

After the prototype of the repeater was carried to the courtyard, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly.

I saw that the crossbow resembled a rectangular wooden box with two ends about one foot square and about one meter long, and two thick bamboo boards stretched out from the middle of the wooden box, and the two ends of the bamboo board were made of animal tendons to form an arc, and the whole looked like a strong bow was buried in a rectangular wooden box.

There is a small round hole the thickness of a thumb at one end of the wooden box, which seems to be the muzzle for shooting arrows, and the other end is connected with a copper ring. There is a long notch above the wooden box, and there is a circle of T-shaped grooves around the notch, which looks like it should be

It's designed to jam something.

At this time, a strong man of about thirty years old walked up with a wooden trough that was much smaller and very flat, with openings on both sides of the trough and an inverted T-shaped bulge on one side, which just matched the groove on the main body of the repeater.

I saw that the man stuck the wooden trough tightly on the main body of the repeater, and took out a dozen special arrows and put them in.

At a glance, Liu Yi understood, "Isn't this just a magazine!" ”

The man filled the bow and arrows and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Liu Yi.

"My lord, please!"

Seeing this, Liu Yi stepped forward with a laugh.

Stroking the weapon in front of him that did not belong at this time, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel excited.

After playing for a while, Liu Yi impatiently asked the strong man beside him, "How do you use this thing?" ”

When the strong man heard this, he introduced Liu Yi in detail how to use it, and Liu Yi couldn't help but start experimenting with it after hearing it.

Liu Yi pulled the copper ring hard according to the strong man's words, only to see an iron rod connected to the back of the copper ring, the iron rod was just pulled out a little, and the bamboo bow in the middle was pulled for a full moon, it seems that there must be a delicate lever mechanism inside.

As soon as the bamboo bow in the middle was full moon, I heard a "pop", as if something had fallen into the box. Liu Yi knew that this must be the sound of the arrow being loaded.

At this time, a hundred meters in front of the repeater, several straw men had just been buried.

"Get out of the way, brothers!"

Liu Yi shouted, only to see that Liu Yi and the straw man were suddenly empty. At this time, the craftsmen in other workshops also ran out, standing far away on both sides, looking at Liu Yi curiously.

Seeing this, Liu Yi adjusted the position of the repeater, so that the muzzle in front of it was facing one of the straw men. Then he let go suddenly, only to hear a "buzz", and an arrow shot out of the main box, hitting the straw man that Liu Yi was aiming at.

The crowd watching the excitement next to him clapped their hands when they saw this.

Seeing that he hit the target, Liu Yi was also very excited in his heart, and hurriedly ran up to check.

When Cheng Yu and the others behind him followed to the straw man, they saw Liu Yi pulling out the arrow with both hands and feet.

Seeing that Liu Yi was so struggling that he didn't pull out the arrow, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked the craftsmen around them to pull out the grass on the straw man.

It is said that the inside of the straw man is wrapped in a log the thickness of a calf, and the head of the arrow has penetrated the log at this time.

Cheng Yu and the others looked at the arrows that pierced the logs, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This weapon is so powerful!" Cheng Yu exclaimed.

At this time, Liu Yi also stopped the movement in his hand, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

Since Lu Duyou's death, this is the first time Liu Yi has been so happy, and Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but feel happy when they saw this.

After laughing a few times, Liu Yi said to the people around him excitedly: "Go, Yide, they called!" Let them see our new weapons too! ”

As soon as Liu Yi's voice fell, someone in the crowd ran to the door of the Arsenal Division.

While waiting for Zhang Fei and a few others, Liu Yi tried a few more shots, and found that the accuracy of the repeater was very high, and within 100 meters, it was almost a straw man.

It is said that at this time, Zhang Fei and others were training in the school training ground, and after learning the news of the success of the arsenal division in developing new weapons, Zhang Fei and Yao Lie hurriedly rushed to the arsenal division.

"How many arrows can we put in this box at one time?" After firing a few shots, Liu Yi, whose arm was a little sore, began to ask about the loading of arrows.

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li, who had been standing behind Liu Yi, stood up and replied proudly, "Lord Hui, according to our design, this repeater can shoot fifteen arrows at a time!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. I thought to myself, "Legend has it that the crossbow developed by Zhuge Liang can only shoot ten rounds in a row, it seems that I am even more powerful than Zhuge Liang!" ”

"Where's the weapon, lord? Show me! ”

Just when Liu Yi was thinking about who was powerful between himself and Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei's hearty shout came from outside the Arsenal Division.

When Zhang Fei and the others appeared in everyone's sight, Liu Yi waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, come on!" ”

Zhang Fei and the others hurriedly ran away when they heard this

Come here.

When Zhang Fei and the others ran in front of Liu Yi, Zhang Fei aimed at the repeater on the wooden frame at a glance.

"Lord, this is the new weapon you are talking about?" Zhang Fei asked with a pant.

Liu Yi smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"Come on, try the effect!"

Saying that, Liu Yi demonstrated it in front of Zhang Fei and the others, and when Zhang Fei and the others saw the arrow penetrating the strawman, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they all said that they wanted to try it.

The first to test was Yao Lie, and after shooting a few arrows, Yao Lie, who had always been calm, also showed a rare expression of excitement.

Seeing that a few people had finished trying, Zhang Fei, who was at the end of the line, shouted and shouted.

"Come~ Let me try it too!"

After saying that, Zhang Fei ordered the craftsmen around him to put a new box of arrows, and quickly pulled the copper ring behind the repeater with the unicorn arm that he had trained in his 20 years of singleness.

Under Zhang Fei's jerk, I saw that the arrows in the box were "swishing ~" shooting out one after another, and the straw man in the distance couldn't bear the successive impacts, and suddenly broke off from the waist.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei paused slightly, and shot again with his muzzle pointing at another straw man.

Just when Zhang Fei shot the thirteenth arrow, he saw a "buzzing" sound from the wooden box, but no arrow was fired.

Zhang Fei was shooting at this time, and when he saw that there were no arrows shooting, he thought that there were no arrows, so he hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand.

And Liu Yi, who was checking the number on the side, hurriedly ran up.

Liu Yi stepped forward to take a look, only to see that there were still two arrows in the box that had not been shot, one of which had just been loaded when Liu Yi came over, seeing this, Liu Yi couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that Liu Yi's expression was wrong, Blacksmith Li and the others also hurriedly ran forward to check, and after seeing the arrows inside, Blacksmith Li's face was a little difficult to look at.

"Master Li, this arrow box still needs to be improved, and it is best to add a weight on it, so that the arrows can be loaded in time under the pressure of gravity!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yi found the crux of the problem, so he put forward his own suggestions to Blacksmith Li.

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li nodded a little embarrassedly.

Seeing that the arrow had been reloaded, Zhang Fei wanted to reach out to pull the copper ring again, only to hear Liu Yi laugh and scold.

"Yide, you fucking slow down, you pull the arrow so fast and you don't have time to load it, besides, I'll just have this prototype, if you drag it for me, you will have to pay for it!"

At this time, Zhang Fei, whose hand was already on the copper ring, heard Liu Yi say that he would make himself pay for the breakage, and the movements in his hand couldn't help but be stunned.

Then Zhang Fei thought to himself, "I'm not a craftsman, I can't get this thing!" He slowly pulled the brass ring in his hand.

After ejaculating three boxes in a row, even Zhang Fei, who was as powerful as an ox, felt a little sore in his arm, so he stopped.

Blacksmith Li was still sullen at this time about the "empty cannon" he had just released, after all, this was developed by himself and everyone with a lot of effort, so there was no room for the slightest flaw.

Seeing that Blacksmith Li was so meticulous in treating the weapons he had created, Liu Yi was very relieved in his heart.

"Master Li, this is just a prototype, there is still a lot of room for optimization, don't be annoyed by a little accident, you have done a very good job!"

After comforting Blacksmith Li, Liu Yi not only ordered everyone to be rewarded, but also ordered everyone to take a week's vacation so that everyone could rest and rest.

Seeing this, the craftsmen thanked Liu Yi gratefully.

Just when Liu Yi and the others were impassionedly discussing how to mass-produce repeaters, they saw that outside the Arsenal Division, Cui Si ran in in a panic.

Seeing this, Liu Yi, Cheng Yu and others hurriedly stopped discussing and greeted them.

"What's wrong, Si'er? But what's the news from Gongsun Chan? After catching up with Cui Si, Liu Yi hurriedly helped Cui Si and asked.

Cui Sishen took a few breaths and eased up, and looked at Liu Yi with a serious face.

"Lord, Gongsun Chan hasn't made any big moves since he returned to Beiping!"

"Oh? So why are you so flustered? ”

"Lord, a good thing, a great good thing!"
