Chapter 113: Divine Weapons
"Sir, I have already typed out the spring steel plate you want and the ratchet you want. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Lin Chong took the spring steel sheet handed by Ye Meng, which was actually the best iron material that was folded and forged thirty times and beaten into a semicircle.
Lin Chong pinched the steel sheet with two fingers and folded it, the elasticity was very good, and it would not break if it was pressed to the end, and it immediately returned to its original state as soon as he let go, and then checked the ratchet he built, and he was also very satisfied.
"Very good, Master Ye has worked hard, how long does it take to make these things, and can they be produced in large quantities?"
"How dare you say it's hard." Ye Meng scratched his head and said: "Sir, these two things are simple, and the spring steel sheet is nothing more than a little dead strength; The same is true for ratchets, as long as you make a mold, if you have enough materials and manpower, you can produce it in large quantities. β
"Do you have enough materials? Your young eunuch, can the master book make things difficult or deliberately not cooperate? β
Ye Meng shook his head and said a little strangely: "No, they all cooperate very well, and I also feel puzzled, but later I heard that someone from above said hello." β
Lin Chong smiled, the ordnance supervisor was actually in charge of the big eunuch Liang Shicheng.
This product is also a superb, relying on the close ministers who accompany Zhao Ji every day, Zhao Ji's edicts are from his hands, Liang Shicheng actually let people practice imitating Zhao Ji's font, forged edicts mixed with the real edict promulgated, and the court officials can not distinguish the authenticity.
By pretending to pass on the holy decree, Liang Shicheng covered the sky with one hand, which was even better than Zhao Ji.
That's not all, this thing is a dead eunuch, old and not dingding, and his health is not very good, but he has a paranoid pursuit of power, and he actually got more than 100 official positions for himself at once, and the supervisor of the Ordnance Supervisor is one of them.
It may be that seeing that his position in Zhao Ji's heart is becoming more and more stable, he wishes to send himself to Kanxi as soon as possible to let Tong Guan clean himself up, Lin Chong found that Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu and others suddenly became much more friendly and kind to him.
Liang Shicheng here tried his best to make things easier for him, and Gao Yu over there also continued to release kindness, and often sent Lu Qian's goods to find him under the pretext of an old friend, which made Lin Chong very annoyed.
However, they were like this, and Lin Chong was naturally happy to do so, and he also expressed kindness to them, and then took advantage of them not to make trouble for themselves, and hoarded a large number of various things.
Lin Chong took out a drawing, pointed to the things on it and said, "Like the picture, can you connect these semicircular spring steel sheets in turn?" β
"No problem, you can do it with small rivets."
Ye Meng said casually, and then when he saw the picture below, his body was suddenly shocked, and his eyes widened: "Sir, are you going to make an arrow box?" β
Lin Chong nodded: "This is the drawing I designed, the body of the arrow box is made of wood, the bottom of the arrow box is a connected spring piece, and then there is the supporting arrow board, which can be loaded with two rows of twelve crossbow arrows."
You see, when the arrow is loaded, press down and push it back, and the arrow and tail of the crossbow arrow are firmly stuck by the spring and the supporting arrow on the four small raised iron plates at the exit of the arrow magazine.
You can make it for me according to the dimensions marked above, and then debug it. The requirement is that you must be able to cram twelve crossbow arrows at once and not fall out;
Then you use a small stick to push the bolt behind it less than half an inch, so that you can pop out one bolt with a slight push, and you have to push one bolt to pop out, and you have to be able to pop out all twelve bolts.
If the debugging is correct, you can build it on a large scale, but when it comes to assembly, people must be reliable people who originally intended to follow me. β
Ye Meng is the most senior craftsman, what kind of ordnance has not been built, but this time he was shocked and speechless, his mouth was open enough to fit into his fist, and it took a long time before he said:
"Sir, are you going to modify the Divine Arm Bow so that it can automatically send arrows? And this ratchet, but it's automatically used to wind the bow of the god arm? β
Lin Chong designed an arrow magazine that can automatically send arrows to the Divine Arm Bow, and it can not only automatically send arrows, but also use ratchets and pulleys to semi-automatically wind.
Speaking of which, the Divine Arm Bow is also the most powerful and terrifying individual weapon in this era, and it is unique to the Great Song Dynasty (Note 1), but the Song army still fought so many defeats with such a divine weapon.
The reason for this is that the strength consumed by the bow of the god arm is too great, and the speed of loading the arrows is too slow, and the enemy cavalry rushes over after firing up to three arrows in battle.
Therefore, Lin Chong designed and improved the Divine Arm Bow, first changed to a ratchet to automatically wind, and then changed to an arrow box to automatically send arrows when loading arrows.
In order not to affect the aiming, the arrow box designed by Lin Chong is installed under the crossbow machine, and after the winding is completed, the ratchet continues to shake three squares, and the mechanism behind the arrow shaft is touched to rotate half a circle, pushing the crossbow arrow forward by one centimeter.
So the crossbow arrow was ejected and sent to the position in front of the bowstring and was stopped by the baffle, at which time the trigger was pulled, and the crossbow arrow was fired, completing a fire.
Then shake the ratchet wheel to complete the winding, and then continue to shake the three squares to touch the arrow mechanism, pop a crossbow arrow again, and then you can pull the tooth trigger again to complete another fire.
This is simply a semi-automatic AK-47.
This is too time-saving, Lin Chong roughly estimated the time it takes for the original Divine Arm Bow to fire one arrow, and the improved Divine Arm Bow can fire at least three to four arrows.
Not to mention that it is more labor-saving, and there will never be a situation where you will never have the strength to wind it again after firing a few arrows; There will be no situation where you can't fire an arrow when you go to the battlefield because of fatigue and hunger.
The improved Divine Arm Bow's combat effectiveness bonus to soldiers has increased by more than ten times, which can be regarded as a qualitative leap.
This kind of militaristic weapon was originally meant to be kept absolutely secret, but Ye Meng is now the worship of the Lin family, and he has sworn allegiance to Lin Chong for the rest of his life.
Lin Chong also inspected him and felt that he could still be trusted, and when he saw him, he could see that Lin Chong simply didn't hide it from him.
Besides, Lin Chong still kept the small mechanism that pushed out the crossbow arrow and the mechanism that wound the ratchet at the core, and he was going to finish it on Liangshan.
"You guessed right, this is the arrow box of the Divine Arm Bow, you do it well, if you do it, you will not only have a heavy reward but also a heavy use."
"The lord commands, the little one must be handled properly by the lord."
Ye Meng hurriedly said gratefully, his face was both happy and confident.
Lin Chong said again: "But this matter is top secret, you must remember to pay attention to confidentiality, and never let others know." β
"Don't worry, sir, the small one will not leak half a word." Ye Meng obviously understood these truths very well, and hurriedly assured with sincere fear.
Lin Chong nodded, and asked about the construction of five thousand catties of iron weapons, Ye Meng made a report respectfully, and said in his heart that he, the head of the family, wants to build an army with gold?
a god arm bow that can be self-winding and self-feeding arrows; Plus weapons made of the finest iron and Uzi steel; plus the armor recreated from four hundred pairs of Qingtang Monkey Armor;
Coupled with the invincible commander Lin who is super powerful, the combat effectiveness of this army is terrifying when you think about it.
After leaving the armory prison, Lin Chong came to the armor warehouse again, and at this time, the three thousand Divine Arm Bows and the one thousand "damaged" Divine Arm Bows had been experienced.
Lin Chong, Sun and Qian, the two little officials, went through the formalities and were about to take the four thousand divine arms to bow away, but they were stopped by a person.
