Chapter 372: Twin-Shot Crossbow Machine
After Ye Mo finished his lunch, he went to the siege equipment factory to find a systematic farmer who was leading some craftsmen to study siege equipment.
Ye Mo has not forgotten jì, while improving his strength, he is also working hard to improve the Cheng dù of Chinese civilization.
If you want to improve the Chinese civilization, you should originally establish a university in the cottage, and then improve the culture of all the bandits in the cottage in general. It's just that after thinking about it carefully, Ye Mo felt that it was a bit too maverick to establish a university in a cottage.
Moreover, the university building came into being after the development of a civilization to the age of the castle. It's not these people in Ye Mo's cottage, but the cultural Cheng of these people is really not high.
The establishment of a siege equipment factory is different, even if these bandits have not seen siege equipment, they should have heard of it. At this time, Ye Mo said that he wanted to develop siege equipment, and the enthusiasm of the people in the cottage was naturally high. And some of the craftsmen are also actively engaged in research.
Ye Mo wasn't afraid that those people wouldn't be able to study something, after all, the four peasants in the general direction system would give it out.
"How's it going, has there been any progress?" After Ye Mo went to the siege equipment factory, he looked at the busy crowd and asked with a smile.
Seeing Ye Mo coming, one of the system farmers also stood up at this time and replied: "The military advisor is here, just right, how about seeing this crossbow we get?" ”
As he spoke, the peasant also took out the crossbow machine that everyone was fiddling with. And after Ye Mo took over the crossbow machine, he also found that all the people in the factory were looking at him at this time.
"This crossbow machine doesn't seem to be anything special." At first glance, when he took over the crossbow machine, Ye Mo was also a little disappointed. Originally, Ye Mo thought that there was something unusual about this crossbow machine.
Hearing Ye Mo say this, those craftsmen also felt a little lost at this time. Such a good design, Ye Mo didn't see it. Just when a craftsman was about to come out to point out the uniqueness of this crossbow machine, Ye Mo found out.
"Wait, I seem to have noticed something out of the ordinary." After groping for a while, Ye Mo finally discovered something unusual.
The arrow groove of this crossbow machine is a little deeper than that of a normal crossbow machine. Moreover, there are two crossbow strings. It's just that Ye Mo didn't touch it with his hands at first, so he didn't find any abnormalities in the crossbow strings.
"This crossbow doesn't seem to be a single-shot crossbow. Am I right? After discovering it, Ye Mo also asked at those people.
The uniqueness of this crossbow was discovered by Ye Mo, and those craftsmen naturally had smiles on their faces at this time.
"The military advisor really has good eyesight, this crossbow is a double-shot crossbow. At one time, you can fire two bolts at the enemy at the same time. At this time, an old craftsman also stood up and praised Ye Mo.
Praise Ye Mo, this is easy to understand. After all, he can't praise himself. This praise for Ye Mo's good eyesight is not equivalent to praising his own craftsmanship?
Firing two crossbow arrows at a time may seem like nothing to some people. After all, the Zhuge repeater of the Chinese civilization can fire ten crossbow arrows in succession. But firing two at the same time and firing ten in a row is not the same concept.
Of course, the crossbow machine in Ye Mo's hand was not comparable to the Zhuge Repeater at that time. Between the two, whether it is lethal or continuous, the Zhuge Repeater is the storage of the crossbow machine in the hands of Wan Pop Ye Mo.
But what about Zhuge Repeater before it was perfected? How many failures did it take to succeed?
The crossbow machine in his hand, Ye Mo still didn't mean to despise it at all. In Ye Mo's opinion, this crossbow machine is the prototype of heavy firepower.
Although this crossbow machine had many shortcomings, Ye Mo selectively ignored it.
"Can this be improved so that it can fire more crossbow arrows at the same time?" Although Ye Mo knew that this crossbow machine was like this, it would definitely not have much effect. However, Ye Mo would not be stupid enough to directly tell these craftsmen that this thing is useless.
But if it can't be improved, Ye Mo can only ignore it.
After hearing Ye Mo's words, those craftsmen immediately looked at each other a few times, and then the craftsmen who had spoken before stood up and continued: "Strategist, if you want to improve this, it is estimated that it will not be easy to do. ”
As he spoke, the craftsman also gave Ye Mo a detailed explanation of the difficulty of improving this crossbow machine.
After listening to the craftsman's words, Ye Mo was also silent. If, according to the craftsman, there is really no way to improve this crossbow machine, then it will have no choice but to give up.
It's just that before Ye Mo could open his mouth to deny the value of this crossbow machine, a farmer seemed to see the trace of unbearability in Ye Mo's heart. "Strategist, I've heard that there is an army in Plains City, and their mid-week crossbow machine is capable of firing ten bolts in a row. If so......"
"What do you mean?" As soon as Ye Mo heard the farmer's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
If you can get a Zhuge Repeater and give it to these craftsmen to study, maybe they will really be able to study something.
Of course, if nothing can be studied, there is nothing to lose to Ye Mo. If these craftsmen really have developed self-confidence, then maybe Ye Mo will mention a little more, it is possible for these craftsmen to make a steam engine.
"I'll figure it out. If you have any good ideas, go ahead and do it. Also, come out with me. After encouraging the creativity of these craftsmen, Ye Mo also called out the system farmer who had spoken before.
After the two of them went out and were some distance away from the siege equipment factory, Ye Mo stopped.
"Strategist, I don't know what you command." Because there had been a warning before, not to let them call Ye Mo "young master". Therefore, when these four people in the cottage saw Ye Mo, they were also called "military advisors" along with others.
Ye Mo nodded at the man as a sign of respect. "You find a good place in this cottage and build a church."
"Rest assured, within five days, we will definitely choose the best location in the cottage, and then build a church." The system peasant really deserves to be the most loyal cunzài, Ye Mo just gave the task, and these people agreed regardless of the reason.
Moreover, looking at the meaning of this system farmer, if he thinks that the location of the Juyi Hall is the best in the cottage, he will also demolish the Juyi Hall.
Ye Mo saw that the peasant had already agreed to this task, so he would go directly to Ye San at his residence and copy the matter of teaching the doctrine.
Although Ye Mo didn't admit that his words were a little ugly, Ye Mo still felt that it was better for him to check this important thing personally.
After returning to his residence, Ye San was still lying on the table trying to recognize the things that Ye Mo had written.
"After writing this, you will go out with me." Looking at the busy Ye San, Ye Mo also came directly. Then, regardless of the surprised Ye San, Ye Mo directly picked up what he had written, prepared to read it himself, and let Ye San write it
