Chapter 33: The Transformation of Qin's Crossbow

Although his head was turning, Ying Gao followed Zhang Han to his private arsenal with a smile on his face.

But when Ying Gao saw the row of large and small Qin crossbows standing on Zhang Han's weapon rack, his face, which had a lot of expectations, suddenly collapsed.

I saw that although the row of Qin crossbows was similar to what he imagined, and the structure was fine, the fatal thing was that the height of the smallest one was also to his chest.

In his previous life, Ying Gao could indeed judge that the length of the Qin crossbow equipped by the Great Qin sergeant would be at least five feet long through the traces of the Qin crossbow in the terracotta warriors, but he felt in his heart that the crossbow was a weapon that anyone could operate, and the dignitaries of Great Qin would definitely have a smaller model for them to use more conveniently. But it is clear that this situation has shattered the imagination of Wingo.

"This ...... I wonder if the general has a smaller crossbow here? ”

Zhang Han was obviously a little confused by Ying Gao's question, he stepped forward and picked up a minimum war crossbow, and then knelt on one knee with both hands on the crossbow, while demonstrating that a crossbow of this size can be completely controlled by a person for Ying Gao, while explaining: "This crossbow can be easily operated by a single person, if you can aim within 20 zhang, you can kill the enemy, if it is smaller...... Without waiting for the arrows to be reloaded, the enemy can run closer, and the crossbow will be of little use. ”

Hearing this, Ying Gao finally understood a little, after all, this is a guy who is used against the enemy on the battlefield, and the requirements for range are still there, Qin crossbow has been developed for decades, and there is no doubt that a fixed system has been formed in terms of size, pull and weight, and range.

But for Ying Gao, he doesn't need to be able to shoot an enemy twenty zhang away (that is, about fifty meters), he can shoot an enemy within ten zhang at once, and he is satisfied with winning high, after all, he is not going to the battlefield, but to guard against assassins, observing the size and shape of the crossbow, a trace of thought began to appear in his mind.

"I wonder if the general can cut his love and give Gao Liang such a crossbow?"

Of course, Ying Gao couldn't sit in Zhang Han's mansion to study the improvement of the war crossbow, so he hurriedly put forward such a request, he did this, undoubtedly to express his favor to Zhang Han, he wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Zhang Han, because from Zhang Han's eyes, he could see that this guy could still fight for it!

"Naturally, it's good, just send someone to pick it up!"

"No, no, I'll just put it in the carriage and bring it back at this time!" Hearing this, Ying Gao was impatient, carrying one in one hand, and walked out of Zhang Han's mansion while thanking him.

Looking at Ying Gao's back, Zhang Han couldn't help but think to himself: Gongzi Gao is a bit interesting, could it be that I am a great Qin, not a situation where there is no successor? As for the two war crossbows that were taken away, Zhang Han didn't pay attention to it.

After returning to the house, Yinggao carried two crossbows into his study, with the perspective of more than two thousand years later, the structure of the crossbow is still very simple, and for Yinggao, this huge crossbow bothered him only two points, one is that the main part of the five-foot body is a little too long, according to Yinggao's want, if you want to be able to carry it, it must be reduced to one-third to one-quarter of the original length, and the second is that the bows on both sides of the crossbow arm are somewhat wide, not suitable for carrying, he wants to make the bows on both sides foldable or detachable, In this way, the whole crossbow is folded into a stick more than a foot long, and it is not so abrupt to carry on the body.

As for the core components such as the lookout mountain, teeth and hanging knives made of bronze parts, Yinggao believes that according to his understanding of mechanics, with a slight change, it can still play a role in shooting the enemy at close range, after all, his requirements for this thing are not so strict, and it is enough to save his life when it is critical.

The first time after crossing to Daqin, Ying Gao stayed awake all night, and finally used his rough brushwork to draw out his own improvement of the various parts of the crossbow, safety is the top priority, and he can't afford to win high, not to mention that Ying Gao understands in his heart that he sent the Zhu family is a dangerous soldier, in case he really startles the snake, he estimates that he will definitely be on Zhao Gao's blacklist.

When he drew several sketches of himself and handed them to his guards and secretly told them to find craftsmen to make them, what Ying Gao didn't know was that his achievements that night had almost opened a new chapter in the Great Qin War Crossbow. The original Daqin, no matter what, is large-scale, unified, and institutionalized, so it is good to do it well, but there is one point, that is, it obliterates everyone's nature of invention and creation, and Yinggao came so suddenly, and this nature was stimulated again, of course, this is all a later story.

"Yinggao went to Zhanghan Mansion?"

"Yes, Ying Gao stayed in Zhang Han's mansion for a long time before leaving, and it is said that Zhang Han also gave Ying Gao two of my Great Qin War Crossbows, which shows that the relationship between the two is not ordinary."

Less than a day after Ying Gao left Zhang Han's mansion, the news of his entry and exit from Zhang Han Mansion reached Zhao Gao's ears, which was not because Zhao Gao had made much effort to investigate Ying Gao, but because it was related to Zhang Han.

"Oh? And what else is there? ”

"Not bad! No wonder Zhang Han didn't know how to lift up several times, and didn't accept his uncle's kindness, most of them had already worn a pair of pants with Ying Gao and Feng's father and son, this guy was really confused, so how many foundations did Feng's father and son have in Daqin, and when he knelt under his uncle's knees and begged for mercy, he knew what it meant to regret not being at the beginning! How did he know that we had already arranged for him......"

Obviously, Yan Le was deflated by Zhang Han and didn't get any benefits, so he cursed fiercely.

"Hmph, Zhang Han is like Li Si and the Montessori brothers, they are all high-ranking people, but you don't have to be distracted by this, these people can just play some icing on the cake, it's better to talk than nothing, your focus is still on peripheral matters, remember!"

If Ying Gao was eavesdropping on their conversation at this time, then although they were vague in and out of their words, most of them could guess what Zhao Gao was obviously carrying out a layout, and most of this layout had entered the final stage, and Ying Gao, who had prophetic memory, would probably know that Zhao Gao had probably begun to prepare for the death of the First Emperor.

But Yinggao's attention at this time was all attracted by the transformation of Qin crossbow, Qin crossbow's process is different from a simple saw, just a few bronze parts in the crossbow machine that were changed by him are very difficult to make, so he didn't wait for news for two or three days, but waited for the dusty Zhu family late at night.
