"Ten gold?" Even if he is a teenager, he is used to eating and drinking, and he is very surprised. Isn't it just a piece www.biquge.info of torn paper, and it costs so much gold? ”

"Little brother, we are people who know the goods, if we don't know the goods, we still think that we are liars. In this case, then we can only say goodbye here, and wish the two of you all smooth sailing in the future and a lot of wealth. The young man surnamed Wei arched his hand at the two of them as he spoke, got up and was about to leave.

"Wait."

The boy hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother Tai, don't worry, we want something, Uncle Zhong will take the money."

The money and goods were handed over, and the young man left in a hurry.

The boy got something good, and he was very excited. "Uncle Zhong, I don't want to let me wait for such a big thing in this small Tongfu Inn, so that we can save another effort in Hanzhong."

Uncle Zhong was a little speechless when he saw the young man so happy.

"Childe, the old slave has something to say that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"Uncle Zhong, my mother said it, I have to listen to you all the way, you can say it if you have something."

"The old slave thinks that this trip may not be too smooth, and I don't know if this thing is true or false, can we not use it first, Childe can make it?"

"Uncle Zhong, you are too cautious. It's okay, be careful to walk the ship for ten thousand years, and do as you say. The boy nodded in response.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, everyone got up early in the morning, and with the wooden card they bought yesterday, they passed Cao Jun's checkpoint very smoothly.

After walking less than 500 meters, there is another checkpoint in front of him, which is the checkpoint set up by Hanzhong at the mouth of the sloping valley.

I saw a sign on the side of the road in front of the checkpoint, which read: Chen Shi to Shen Shi will be released, and the rest are forbidden to pass.

"Stand still and be checked. Where did it come from, what did it do, and where did it go? The guard at the checkpoint asked.

"Hello military master, we are from Hebei, go to Hanzhong to sell some food, please do it well." As he spoke, Uncle Zhong stuffed a piece of silver into the soldier's hand without a trace.

I didn't want to, so I angered the soldier all of a sudden, threw the silver into Uncle Zhong's arms, and shouted, "What are you doing? Want to pay a bribe but can't do it? Nothing to do, either treachery or theft, brothers, give me a good check to see if it is food? ”

"No!"

As soon as the order was given, several soldiers came up and inspected the vehicles one by one.

"Report, it's all food, no anomalies found."

The soldier who seemed to be in charge was a little surprised to hear the report.

At this time, the young man in brocade also hurried to the front to see what was going on, and Uncle Zhong saw him coming over and hurriedly pulled him behind him.

The soldier swept Uncle Zhong's face a few times suspiciously, "New here, right?" Grandma, what the hell are you nervous about? Delay everyone's time, didn't you see the back of the queue waiting? Go, go, get out. With that, he waved his hand and let him go.

Uncle Zhong and the young man thought that they had to make things difficult again, and they didn't want to let them go like this.

After the sloping valley, the back is basically smooth.

The soldiers at the gates of Yangping Pass and Hanzhong City didn't even bother to inspect at all.

Only then did the two discover that the checkpoint in Hanzhong was wide and strict, and the vehicles that went out seemed to be very strict, and the vehicles and goods that came in seemed to be very loose. This is indeed very different from the situation in other places.

Entering Hanzhong City, people come and go, traffic is busy, and it is extremely lively and prosperous.

"Uncle Zhong, what are we going to do next?"

Not to mention how the master and servant started business in Hanzhong, they also talked about Liu Zhang in Chengdu when they returned.

Liu Zhang has lived a leisurely life for more than a year.

A pair of twins are now getting better and better, the longer they are, the more cute they are, learning to crawl and learn to talk, the two children occupy most of Liu Zhang's time, Liu Zhang sometimes even forgets what his name is, forgets that he is still Yiliang Zhou Mu, and forgets that he is in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago.

Occasionally, Liu Zhang would go around the academy and inspect the Academy of Engineering to see the progress of Thor's Fury, and if he became interested, he would also go to see the step/crossbow that Ma Jun had researched and improved.

Ma Jun's step/crossbow was the focus of attention of Bing Cao and the military.

On the basis of the original repeater, Ma Jun made a breakthrough improvement.

In the original repeater, every time an arrow was fired, a wrench needed to be pulled to re-pull the string. The difference between a repeater and a strong crossbow is that a repeater has an arrow magazine, and the arrow box can automatically load arrows, unlike ordinary crossbows, which also have to be loaded manually. Upper arrow, buckle string, are two actions.

And for the step/crossbow, Ma Jun put the hand board on the winding and changed it to stepping on the foot winding.

The step/crossbow itself is also much more complicated than the repeater. A complex gear transmission device is adopted, which rotates the gears and constantly pulls the bowstring to wind it by foot pedaling. Moreover, the entire tread/crossbow is not like a repeater, there is only one crossbow machine, but eight crossbow machines in the upper and lower columns. The springs of the eight crossbow machines are connected to the trigger on one side and the winding gear set of the foot pedal by means of a gear set.

The crossbow machine is much larger than the normal strong crossbow machine, and the bowstring is thicker and stronger.

The arrow box has also been changed from the previous vertical type to the horizontal type.

The crossbow arrow itself is one size larger and one thicker than the crossbow arrow of a strong crossbow. The Arrow Cluster also replaced the normal armor-piercing arrow cluster with a new type of shallow cross zigzag arrow cluster. Liu Zhang has seen the effect of this crossbow arrow, and its penetrating power can be described as piercing gold cracking stones. If you are hit by an arrow, even large animals such as mules and horses must immediately lie down.

The whole pedal/crossbow device can be baffled in front, and a vision area can be left in the middle to be protected by barbed wire. Attached to the device is a single seat, on which the shooter sits and steps on it, with one hand controlling the direction and the other being responsible for the trigger.

At the bottom of the device, there are four wheels. You can push it or you can pull it.

This Dongdong is said to be the pinnacle of the era of cold weapons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super invincible killing weapon. It's definitely a myriad of technical levels higher than trebuchets and the like.

The tread/crossbow is now in small-scale mass production.

As for the musket of Thor's Fury secretly carried out by Liu Zhang, the sample has already come out, but it is still far from being finalized and mass-produced. Because there are new technical difficulties.

The problem is not big or small.

It's a matter of returning the shells.

Cartridge shells don't always come out of their own way.

That would be a hassle.

Liu Zhang could only press his temperament and let Huang Chengyan and others continue to study, and it seemed that he could not count on the musket in the short term.

Liu Zhang can only lament, why is it easy for others to brush the technology tree, how can it be extremely difficult to take every step when he comes to himself.

From Liu Zhang's heart, he is still not optimistic about Ma Jun's step/crossbow, and Liu Zhang still firmly believes in the correctness of his choice of firearms. Repeating crossbows, stepping / crossbows, these weapons did not pass down in the end, in addition to the inherent use defects of these weapons themselves, the internal structure is complex, not easy to manufacture, and the loss rate is high, which is a big problem. This severely limits the eventual inheritance of these weapons.

Even the current crossbow in Shuzhong also has the problem of too high loss rate.

In a word, it is, easy to break. (To be continued.) )
