Chapter 330: A Trip to Jiaozhou (35)

Ma Jun's separation from Sima Hui's research laboratory is actually an inevitable choice after the research institute is becoming larger and the staff is becoming more and more complex.

Now that Ma Jun's research laboratory was founded, after taking away some researchers, it also has a division of labor with Sima Hui's research laboratory on the research road. Sima Hui paid more attention to theoretical research, and his laboratory conducted more research on scientific theories, and Sima Hui even founded a journal dedicated to the publication of papers at the suggestion of Guo Bin. With the application of block printing, the journal is more than enough to support a small range of academic discussions.

Ma Jun's laboratory, on the other hand, is more like a scientific research department of a manufacturing company, where they will conduct research and development according to the practical difficulties of various industries, and then contract the research results to processing and manufacturing factories for production, so as to obtain commercial profits. Looking at Ma Jun, Guo Bin seemed to see the Chinese version of the invention king.

Of course, the profits generated by these research results in the laboratory, in addition to the official distribution of a part of the dividends of investment shares and the collection of income tax, will be used for the dividends of the researchers in the laboratory and the subsequent investment of products. Guo Bin did not have the idea of holding all the money-making business in his hands, so he promoted the establishment of Ma Jun's laboratory, to a large extent, for the privatization of the industry. Because he knows that all systems are not iron laws that can be passed down to all generations, and all government-run enterprises are faced with the problem of overstaffing, bloated institutions, and lack of vitality and creativity. Therefore, Guo Bin borrowed from the way of the later republic, except for the important industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, other industries were handed over to the market as much as possible.

Guo Bin knows that only products that have passed the market inspection are good products, and only enterprises that have passed the market inspection are good enterprises. If an enterprise wants to have a good development, and an industry wants to really grow and expand, it must go through some hard work and fight its way out of the market.

In order to maintain the enthusiasm of the whole society for technological innovation, it is necessary to use the lever of interests to leverage more people to invest in this cause, and only with more capital and talent investment, technological innovation can truly promote the progress of the whole society. Of course, Guo Bin can use the power of the imperial court to form a fixed interest group with some political means, achieve great development in a short period of time, and even create a new dynasty. However, this is not the driving force that can change the social structure and promote the continuous development of the nation, and the best result of this kind of behavior is just another change of dynasty.

For this, Guo Bin neither looked down on it, but also disdained it.

What Guo Bin wants to do is to stimulate the power of the most dynamic and capable merchant class in society, improve their social status, and form a new power group. The rise of this class, which is based on the power of emerging technology, is bound to cause drastic changes in society as he envisions. This will be a powerful force that no one can shake, and Guo Bin wants to stimulate this force, and he relies on the growing industrial power in Yangzhai County today.

Industrial power refers not only to the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, but also to the rational and orderly mode of operation, the more detailed division of labor and mass production, the more astonishing steel production, and most importantly, the higher literacy rate among the common people, the broader knowledge, and the spirit of the common people. Therefore, Guo Bin has always spared no effort to improve the status of businessmen, and he is too aware of the power of capital.

Since the advent of "Kyushu Yutu", it has been sought after by the world, not only ordinary people, but also a group of knowledgeable and literate scholars, which is also full of praise. Even many well-informed businessmen who had published many articles in the Kyushu Yutu gained a high reputation among scholars. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the merchant class has been deliberately suppressed by the imperial court, and today's phenomenon has never happened in more than 400 years.

It is precisely for this reason that in order to improve their political status and social prestige, businessmen with rich families have paid more and more attention to the "Kyushu Yutu", and the quality of their contributions has become more and more eye-catching. What is the so-called nourishment of hope? Isn't it just to let everyone know that you are awesome and say good things about you? In this day and age, what could spread a person's prestige better than the world-sought-after "Kyushu Yutu"?

Not to mention anything else, Sima Hui, who was originally a well-known master of ancient scriptures in the world, has now become a first-class master of scriptures that faintly overshadowed Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan today, to a large extent, it is the credit of this "Kyushu Yutu", because Sima Hui is the editor-in-chief of this "Kyushu Yutu".

It is precisely because of this "Kyushu Map" that Guo Bin actually made the world's businessmen for his own use, and this means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain made Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Xun Yu and others all admire. Xu Shu once sighed: "The lord is a high-minded, lofty-minded, longitudinal and weft heaven and earth, he is really a genius who is not born in the world!" ”

Before entering the city, Guo Bin ordered the sergeants to put on the Yangzhai County standard military uniform, and they went south this time in order to establish their authority. It was not a major battle militarily, but its political influence was earth-shattering. However, Guo Bin went south with more than 50 people this time, not only to win more with less, but also to retreat with his whole body, so as to show the strength of the kingdom and deter the entire Linyi country.

Therefore, although he wants to catch the enemy by surprise, he also wants everyone to know who did it, and the world-famous beige short-placket military uniform is the best symbol. Guo Bin believes that even if Yang Zhai's clothing has not yet been sold to Linyi Kingdom, the people of Linyi, who are closed to information, can also inquire about the meaning of this beige military uniform.

The matter of going south to the capital of Linyi this time went extremely smoothly. Because whether it is the guards under his command or Guo Bin himself, they have already learned about the situation of Linyi from the more detailed and accurate thickened version of the "Kyushu Yutu", plus the guide sent by the Youshi family, it is easy and pleasant to find the king of Linyi.

Xianglin County is not big, the so-called "Wangcheng" is just the earlier Xianglin County Ya, Guan Yu with ten guards galloped in the city, set off rockets, try to create chaos, and Zhang Fei guarded the city gate, Guo Bin took Huang Zhong under the guidance of the guide to capture the king of Linyi is not difficult.

It's just that after taking the people, everyone was met with fierce resistance from the defenders of the city, however, this still could not stop the pace of everyone, because the sharp weapons they took out when they were blocked were too strong.

The famous Zhuge crossbow in later generations is actually not too high-tech, it is just a design innovation.

The traditional Chinese long-range weapons are divided into two types: bows and crossbows, and the reason why crossbows can surpass bows and become weapons that are still forbidden to be possessed by civilians even in the era when hot weapons are prevalent in later generations is because of their huge lethality. And the training of crossbowmen is not too difficult, similar to firearms, a child with a crossbow can easily shoot a general wearing iron armor and training hard for most of his life, regardless of status, regardless of status.

As a result, the crossbow is considered an illegitimate weapon in many cases, as it requires very little skill to operate. Even a new recruit can quickly become a master of crossbows, and the accuracy is high enough to kill an armored knight who has spent a lifetime training in combat.

In other words, the reason why the crossbow can become a killing god on the battlefield is entirely due to its extremely strong lethality and extremely high hit rate.

Unlike bows and arrows, the only action required for a crossbow to be wound is to aim and shoot, while a bow and arrow requires the user to hold the bow and arrow in place with a very strong arm force before aiming and shooting, especially when facing a moving enemy, which takes longer to aim, which greatly increases the physical exertion.

Whether it is the moment a person releases the bowstring or the shaking of the arm muscles due to tension during aiming, it will undoubtedly have an impact on the accuracy of the shot, and the so-called difference is even more obvious at this time. The crossbow is more ingenious than the bow and arrow, and it not only has an increasingly complex and labor-saving crossbow machine design, but also a lookout for aiming, and its shooting accuracy has undoubtedly been greatly improved.

The bow arm of the crossbow is mostly stronger than the bow arm of the bow and arrow, especially the legendary tension crossbow, which needs to step on the ring at the front end of the arrow groove with the foot and use the power of the back to complete the winding action, so the crossbow arrow is much more powerful than the average bow and arrow.

Because the Zhuge crossbow is a repeating crossbow, and its shooting posture is different from the general crossbow, it is shot against the chest and abdomen, and its shooting distance is closer, so it does not need to aim, so the design of Wangshan is exempted. The so-called Wangshan, that is, the simple sight on the ancient crossbow machine, to the Western Han Dynasty, Wangshan is with a scale, so that it can obtain higher accuracy.

The reason why the Zhuge repeater can be fired continuously is because it simplifies the difficulty of operation and appropriately reduces the tension of the crossbow arm, so that people can pull it out and wind it with one hand. The so-called simplification of operation is that it combines the action of winding and placing the crossbow arrow, so as to avoid the action of taking the arrow and placing the crossbow arrow after winding.

Above the Zhuge repeater is a device similar to the magazine of an automatic rifle in later generations, known as the Arrow Letter. The arrow box is covered with ten crossbow arrows, and at the bottom of the arrow box, there is a slipway, where the crossbow string passes, which is equivalent to the barrel of an automatic rifle. It's just that the propulsion of an automatic rifle is gunpowder, while the propulsion of a repeater is a bowstring.

Unlike automatic rifles, crossbow bolts do not use the power of springs like magazines, but rely entirely on gravity, which uses gravity to slide a special eight-inch long crossbow into the slot.

The simplicity of the Zhuge Repeater lies in the fact that as long as it is aimed at the enemy, the only action to be performed is to pull the trigger located above and linked to the arrow letter again and again, and this is the ingenuity of its design. When the arm is relaxed, the crossbow string is in the lowest chute of the arrow, which is the complete trajectory of the crossbow string. At the end of the slide, near the user's direction, there is a groove into which the crossbow string slides and is hooked when the trigger is pushed forward, an action called hanging string.

After the crossbow string is hung up, pull the trigger back, and the crossbow string will slowly open backwards, and the mechanical force on the crossbow arm will gradually increase, which is the stage of opening the bow. When the bow is about to reach its limit, the bolts in the crossbow will slide down the arrow groove, and then continue to pull the trigger, and the crossbow string will be squeezed from the groove back into the chute at the bottom of the arrow box to exert a strong push force on the crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows will shoot outward along the arrow groove after being forced. At this point, a shot is complete, and when you want to fire continuously, you only need to push the trigger forward again, then pull back to open the bow, and finally pull to the bottom to release the arrow.

Because this is a very simple and effortless move, it can fire ten bolts in a row with a single load, allowing it to unleash extremely powerful firepower in a very short time. Coupled with Ma Jun's smaller and lighter bow body, the Zhuge crossbow, which was originally difficult to operate alone, allowed the guards who now accompanied him to complete the operation on the horse.

This kind of repeater with extremely fast rate of fire, great power and considerable effort-saving is extremely suitable for fighting in a small space, and it is also a sharp weapon for street warfare in this era. As a result, guards equipped with improvised stirrups were able to freely unleash their hands and operate this automatic rifle-like weapon of mass destruction on their horses. And it is precisely because of the great role played by the repeater at the critical moment that everyone can quickly break through the enemy's blockade when breaking through.
