Chapter 153: Militaristic Weapons
At dawn, a procession of hundreds of carts passed through the outside of Lingju County, crossed the city without entering, and went straight to the camp of the conquest army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Along the way, both officers and non-commissioned officers talked and laughed, after all, they had just won a victory, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.
When he returned to the camp, Zhang Jun ordered Chen Zhen, who joined the army, to distribute the equipment to the soldiers as soon as possible, and arranged some trivial matters, so he went home directly. I haven't closed my eyes all night, and although I am still in good spirits, I still need to wash and take care of it again.
In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, it was the Deng woman who came out, but the colorful worm was gone. Zhang Jun took the silk handkerchief soaked in warm water and wrung out from Deng's hand, rubbed it on his face and threw it to Deng, and asked, "What about the colored worms?" ”
Deng Shi saluted slightly, and said cautiously: "Miss Caiyu's body is a little uncomfortable, and she is still resting······"
It's dawn and you're still resting? Zhang Jun frowned and went straight to the side room, pushed the door and went in, and sure enough, he saw Cai Yan lying on the couch, tightly covering the quilt.
"Where is it uncomfortable, how have you ever seen a doctor?" Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, put the back of his hand on Cai Fly's forehead to test the temperature, and asked Deng Shi, "What's the matter?" ”
Deng was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and at this time, Cai Yan opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was Zhang Jun, he smiled slightly, and his face showed pale fatigue. She said softly: "Lang Jun, don't complain about Sister Deng, it's just that the slave maid accidentally caught a cold." ”
Zhang Jun was going to tear open the corner of the quilt to check the pulse of the color fly, but when he heard her say that she was cold, he retracted his hand and comforted him gently: "Then you pay attention to recuperation, if you need anything, just give it an order." Anyway, now that you are in charge of this Governor's Mansion, you are going to treat yourself badly······"
"Lang Jun and relax, the slave just needs to sleep." With a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, she whispered.
"Okay then······" Zhang Jun nodded, then got up and said to Deng, "Boil some ginger soup for Cai Yan to drink." ”
Deng nodded yes, and Zhang Jun left with confidence.
Besides, the colored frog was lying on the couch, and his nose was already sweating. In March, the temperature warms up, and it is strange that it is not hot to deal with men in the quilt and concentrate on dealing with men. finally waited for Deng to go out, and the colorful frog suddenly lifted the quilt, revealing a delicate body in a black night suit······
Zhang Jun returned to the signing room, only to see that a stack of documents had been neatly placed on the table, Jiang Wanqing was standing in front of the window, staring directly out of the window, I didn't know what I was thinking, and I didn't even notice that Zhang Jun came in.
Zhang Jun didn't bother her, but sat down quietly, and instead of flipping through the paperwork, he took out a piece of paper and drew a pattern on it.
Zhang Jun was deeply impressed by the great power of the torsion stone machine last night, and it was also the first time he had seen the powerful power of ancient war equipment. However, the torsion stone machine at this time was not perfect, and there were many areas that needed to be improved. On the way back, Zhang Jun thought about how to make this weapon of war more powerful.
He first wrote down the word "rate of fire" on the paper, because Zhang Jun felt that from the rate of fire of the torsion stone machine last night, it was still too low, and it didn't matter if it was used to hit a fixed target during the siege, but if it was used to attack the infantry army formation or the cavalry army coming and going like the wind during the battle, it would be powerless.
Then, Zhang Jun wrote down three key words one after another: "power", "range", and "damage resistance".
If you want to be powerful, then the stone bullet fired must be large, but if the stone bullet is large, it will inevitably affect the range, and the damage rate will be greatly increased if it is used for a long time. In this way, a strange circle has been formed, which affects the whole body.
Zhang Jun began to regret that he didn't study science in the first place, if the master's degree in physics was here, he would probably not be worried, right? After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jun only came up with a way to build three types of torsion stone machines, large, medium and small, to distinguish the corresponding ranges of 300 steps, 200 steps and 100 steps, and the stone bullets should be of the same weight as much as possible.
In this way, ordinary soldiers only need to operate the fire, and do not need to adjust the distance, which greatly increases the rate of fire. In addition, bearings and other components should be clad with solid wood copper or iron as much as possible to minimize the damage rate and improve the service life.
Thinking of this, he rearranged his plan and listed it on paper. That Li Fugui has now stepped down from office, and he has taken a group of his subordinates to serve as a prisoner, and I don't know what kind of sparks will be rubbed out when these two groups of people come together.
"Ahem, cough, ······"
Zhang Jun coughed deliberately.
"Ah······h Jiang Wanqing suddenly found that there was someone behind her, and exclaimed, and after seeing that it was Zhang Jun, she said with a crimson face: "Governor, why don't you call people when you come in?" ”
"Haha!" Zhang Jun smiled: "I see that you are thinking about things, so I can't bear to disturb it." ”
"How can there be ······?" Jiang Wanqing actually took her little daughter and twisted.
"Ahem······" After coughing again to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Jun handed the paper in his hand to the general and ordered: "Send someone to send the horse to the general as a prisoner." ”
Seeing that there was something to do, Jiang Wanqing also made up her mind, and walked out quickly after taking it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jun also felt that he was a little untidy about the relationship with these women, but he was so busy every day that he didn't have time to think about it well, so he could only play an ostrich mentality and pretend to be stupid for the time being.
The problem of the torsion stone machine has been solved for the time being, and it is hoped that there will be a better solution after brainstorming. Zhang Jun took out another piece of paper, this time he planned to manufacture another strategic weapon in advance, that is, the Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Crossbow!
The Divine Arm Crossbow, also known as the Divine Arm Bow, was invented by Li Hong of the Western Xia Dynasty during the period of Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the bow body is three feet long, the string length is two feet five, the firing range is far more than 340 steps (about 500 meters today), it can penetrate the iron armor, and it was introduced into the Northern Song Dynasty during the Shenzong period, and became one of the standard weapons of the crossbowmen of the Song Army.
The power of the Divine Arm Crossbow is so great that it is very convenient to operate alone, and only one person can complete the battle independently. If this weapon is placed in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it can definitely be regarded as a long-range precision-guided missile!
In fact, the Divine Arm Crossbow is equipped with many mechanisms, which is why it can achieve such an effect. Engels said that the longbow used by the British infantry in the 14th and 15th centuries was "a very terrible weapon" at the time, which could shoot 200 yards, but its range and penetration were nothing compared to the crossbows of the Northern Song Dynasty in China.
Zhang Jun searched for the information in his mind and wrote on the paper: The Divine Arm Bow is made of tough mountain mulberry wood as the bow, and the solid sandalwood is used as the body, and the hemp is the string, light and strong. Sandalwood is the bow, iron is the gun chamber, steel is the machine, the hemp rope is the string, and the silk is the string.
In fact, although Zhang Jun had carefully watched its manufacturing principles and diagrams in later generations, most of them were subjective conjectures of later generations, and the original diagram of the real Divine Arm Crossbow has been lost. It is said that the "Yongle Grand Canon" written by Chengzu Zhu Di recorded the pattern of the mechanism of the divine arm bow, but later the "Yongle Grand Canon" was destroyed in the Second Opium War, so the divine arm bow has been completely lost since then.
Ji Xiaolan, who was "iron teeth and copper teeth" in film and television dramas in the Qing Dynasty, had personally seen these patterns and wanted to remake the Divine Arm Bow based on this, but unfortunately the patterns on the "Yongle Grand Canon" were only a single part of the Divine Arm Bow, and there was no combination drawing.
Later, Zhang Jun himself also studied it, and he felt that if the divine arm crossbow wanted to achieve the power recorded in the history books, and it could be operated by one person, it must use one thing - pulley!
