Chapter 146: Ballista

All the way non-stop, seventeen Kodo beast trolleys arrived in the afternoon of the next day, on the edge of the river of a pile of supplies that had been discarded by Yao Ran before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe ironware and tools are still in place.

After a short rest, Yao Ran left behind the two of Wei's nine horsemen, Wei Huo and Wei Feng, as well as ten strong men. Naturally, there is something to do to stay. That's fishing! And to catch big fish. According to Yao Ran's agreement, he will send someone back tomorrow morning to pick them up.

On the sixth day of leaving, Yao Ran and his entourage finally returned to Dahu Village before sunset, and they rushed back in full armor.

Xia Zhi ran back to the village and called dozens of men and women to help Yao Ran's people here unload the goods.

After a brief dinner, let everyone rest in place. Later on, the grouping began, with detailed statistics by type and finished product. Then hand out the tool and pick up the part. Yao Ran has a lot of tools, and several tools will be accepted before noon tomorrow.

After the meal, this temporary camp was already a construction site. The clanging of pounds, the grinding of saws and wood, and the sound of all kinds of people's sounds.

It's like following up the big vegetable market one by one. Yelling, scolding, and the crowd is full of voices, Yao Ran is very satisfied with this state.

But Yao Ran turned on the retina system and counted the number of people, now there are only more than one hundred and thirty people here, and there are nearly 100 people who he brought from Yao Village, and there are only forty or fifty people who come to help with Dahu Village?

Yao Ran called Xia Solstice, and wanted to force Xia Solstice to drive everyone from Dahu Village over to work, but after thinking about it, his foundation was unstable, and he lost his place because of the ugliness here. Let's take a detour.

Xia Zhi came to Yao Ran's side, looked at the crowd at work, and said to Xia Zhi, "There aren't many people in Dahu Village." ā€

Xia Solstice immediately returned, "I'll go and call!" ā€

"No, no, when you go back to the village, you can say what I said: 'If you come to help with the work, you will have three meals a day, and if you can't eat, you can take it home.'" In the evening, dry and eat at night. 'Do you remember?' Yao Ran said slowly.

What money temptation, what pie painting, in the current state of society, nothing is as important as food.

After listening to Yao Ran's words, Xia Zhi was also stunned, "Three meals a day, and there are more at night, isn't that just four meals?" ā€

Yao Ran nodded, and Xia Zhi didn't ask much and turned around and ran in the direction of Dahu Village.

Now the summer solstice can be skillfully used with numbers. Yao Ran is still very satisfied with Xia Zhi's learning ability. Some basic principles of physics are also very fast to learn. When I was in Yaozhai, Xia Zhi almost rushed to the blast furnace camp and slept all night guarding the waterwheel.

Because Yao Ran was busy preparing the weapons to hunt Canglong, he didn't have time to solve Xia Zhi's puzzles, and he didn't know when and where Xia Solstice would get a few pieces of paper. Write and draw on it with a charcoal pen, almost all over four sheets of paper. What is written on it is not like words, nor is it a pure picture, and Yao Ran really doesn't have time to ask in detail.

After the summer solstice was arranged, Yao Ran went to the venue where the ballista was made. said that it was Yao Shi who presided, but in fact, Yao Huo and Xiaoping were in charge, and Yao Shi was studying everywhere.

Four of the ballista chassis have already been installed. Yao Ran actually prepared six ballista carts, because they were materials for batch production. The dimensions of the materials are the same.

A ballista has already been assembled, and it doesn't take too long to assemble a set in about an hour, so it won't be too difficult to understand the drawings. It's just that there was an accident when the bowstring was loaded, and the bow arm on one side was not fixed, and the other end was not dragged by too much force, and as a result, the bow arm rebounded and injured a slave. At the moment, he is being taken care of by Hua Tuo.

The chassis of the ballista is actually also. It is a large chassis built vertically and horizontally. The bow arm was fastened to the very front of the body, fastened to the wood of the chassis with rope and cast iron sheet.

A thigh-thick bamboo was fixed on the shelf at the rear of the car, and four holes were made on both sides of the bamboo and iron bolts were inserted, like a winch.

The upper part is a little more complicated, and a raised half of the bamboo is fixed on the beam in the middle of the chassis, and the bamboo and the bow of the front of the car are basically horizontal and vertical, just stuck in the card slot in the middle of the bow body.

The rope has been put on the skein, and after passing through the two holes of the skein, it is fixed, a total of two ropes, one on the left and right sides of the hollow bamboo in the middle. At the other end of the rope was a grappling hook-like cast iron head, now resting on a bowstring three fingers thick. There are also two relatively thin ropes attached to the back of the grappling hook.

It is worth mentioning that the ballista now uses cast iron wheels. The wheels are not very big, but they are very wide.

The diameter is 30 centimeters, and the width is also 30 centimeters. The wheels are fixed to the chassis using cast iron bottom brackets and iron nail ropes, among other things. The wheel Yao Ran uses an integrated bearing with clearance.

Of course, Yao Ran also wanted to get ball bearings, and it was not impossible to do it, but the construction period was not allowed. So settle for the next best. There is also a large amount of animal fat, and the most pumped lubricant is still very good.

After the first car was checked, Yao Ran led three people to push the ballista to a distance of about 100 meters on the edge of the woods. Yao Ran himself carried two iron spears, let the two slaves turn the winch to the end of the bamboo in the center, Yao Ran put the iron spear on his shoulder on the hollow bamboo, and checked whether it was against the bowstring.

After everything was checked, Yao Ran ran to the back of the ballista. In his hand, he tugged at the string on the back of the grappling hook. I aimed my retinal system at a large tree, took a deep breath, and pulled the string in my hand back vigorously. The bowstring is like a wild horse that has broken away, and it is like a whip whipping in the air.

With a "bang", the iron gun was pushed out, and then the sound of metal trembling was heard. The iron gun hit a big tree a hundred meters away and is now stuck in the middle of the tree, but the angle of the shot, there are still some problems, of course, because the iron gun has no tail, when it flies, it will be changed by the resistance in the air without adding rotation.

Now although Yao Ran has shot, it is difficult to say how to aim for the head without experience, and Yao Ran's accuracy is given by the retinal system.

Yao Ran can't come up with the retinal system to popularize it for everyone now, and even if he did, he wouldn't give others such a rebellious thing, and then overthrow himself, or let his own people surpass him. It's completely impossible. (To be continued.) )
