Next to Yingshui, the shooting range of Shouzhou's workshop was originally used as a test site for the weapons of the workshop, and the craftsman Ge Xiaoda, the master of ten, operated the Zhuge crossbow of his own design, aiming at the wooden stake thirty steps away.

It is a crossbow slightly larger than the hand crossbow, the upper end of the crossbow machine, there is a wooden box equipped with ten crossbow arrows, the lower end of the wooden box is open, just connected with the muzzle of the hand crossbow, the use of mechanical principles, the crossbow string is controlled by the trigger, every time the trigger is pulled, the crossbow string is automatically pulled, the crossbow string is automatically excited, and the trigger is pushed back to its original position and pulled again, and another launch can be completed, and the crossbow arrow in the wooden box, relying on the principle of gravity, automatically falls into the muzzle, without manual addition, and the rate of fire is ten times that of the original hand crossbow.

Ge Xiaoda held the crossbow in his hand, pulled the trigger continuously, and in a moment's effort, he fired ten crossbow arrows, but unfortunately, the hit rate was not ideal, and the wooden stake on the opposite side was only two arrows!

"Ge Xiaoda, your crossbow can't do it either, two out of ten shots!" Jiao Yu, the head of the workshop, felt that he had lost face in front of the lord, and he fell into the road.

Ge Xiaoda also blushed for a while, feeling that he had embarrassed the manager, and bowed his head in shame and remained silent.

Hao Ren couldn't discourage the enthusiasm of craftsmen for invention and creation, and excused Ge Xiaoda: "Don't say that, Mr. Jiao, invention and creation always need a process, from immaturity to maturity, this crossbow is still useful, and if used properly, it is very beneficial!" ”

Although the hit rate of this crossbow is low, and the range has been fixed, the maximum range is only fifty steps, Hao Ren has already seen the advantages of this crossbow, and this rate of fire alone is already enough to have an advantage.

Ordinary cavalry can only swim and shoot crossbows ten paces away from the enemy formation, and this rate of fire is enough to amplify the role of cavalry by more than three times.

Ge Xiaoda is just a craftsman, not a soldier, and he has never operated a hand crossbow, and in addition to the nervousness, it seriously affects the play of the crossbow, Hao Ren also knows this, Hao Ren in his own guard, selected five masters of crossbow shooting, operated the original hand crossbow of the Qingfeng army, and personally went into battle, operated the Zhuge crossbow, and compared shooting.

All the crossbowmen carried the crossbow behind their backs at the same time, and under the order of the commander Chen Da, all the crossbowmen operated the crossbows together, took off the crossbows, controlled the strings, loaded the crossbow arrows, aimed, and fired.

After Hao Ren finished firing ten crossbow arrows, there were five shots in the ground, and the remaining five crossbowmen, four in one shot, one good hand, two shots in the ground, and five crossbowmen, a total of six crossbow arrows were fired.

"Lord Divine Shot!" The guards and craftsmen cheered and patted their ass.

Hao Ren doesn't like this kind of touting, if he indulges in this kind of touting, he will be lost sooner or later!

He waved his hand to everyone, signaled quiet, and summoned Ge Xiaoda to his side to make a few suggestions.

First, set the sight on the crossbow machine, using the principle of three points and one line, aiming and shooting, second, the tail of the crossbow is not fine enough, affecting the shooting accuracy, third, the crossbow box needs to be improved, using the principle of pressure, to ensure that it is not stuck! Fourth, lengthen the wooden handle at the rear end of the crossbow and put it on the shoulders to improve the stability of the crossbow.

The specific details and how to do it depend on the craftsmen to give full play to their ingenuity!

"Reward Ge Xiaoda 100 taels of silver, seal it as a crossbow workshop for thousands of households, first build ten crossbows, pass on the Luzhou army test firing improvement, ten days later finalized production!" Hao Ren announced loudly.

Make a tool and reward the high position, the craftsmen of the Manjiang workshop are all envious, Hao Ren is also a thousand gold to buy horse bones, to inspire the invention and creativity of the craftsmen, the creativity of the working people is great, who invents and creates useful things, who can get the heavy reward, reuse, no matter high or low, without discrimination, this is the driving force for the craftsmen to move forward forever.

"Lord, please give the repeater a name!" Jiao Yu was overjoyed when he saw that his lord was satisfied. Glad that he could postpone the date of handing in the musket for the time being, the musket was too difficult to do, he said to Hao Ren with a smile.

Name? What's the name?

Since the improved repeater has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, it really can't be called Zhuge Repeater anymore, according to common sense, it should be named after the name of the inventor, Hao Ren always feels that the name of 'Ge Xiaoda' is too obscene, which makes him easily think of Hong Kong movies, Ge Xiaoda, who can kill rats by peeing, naturally can't use this name.

"Joining the army, what do you think?" Hao Ren asked Liu Bowen and Yu Tongyuan with the two crutches behind him.

Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and whispered slowly: "Xiao Ke thinks that if you take the word 'Qingfeng', it will be called Qingfeng Repeater!" ”

"Ge Qianhu is hard!" Hao Ren patted Ge Xiaoda on the shoulder and praised: "This crossbow is called Qingfeng Repeater!" ”

"Thank you for your name!"

……

Qingfeng Army's general workshop, there are already Shouzhou, Luzhou two, the staff is very large, in order to avoid the chaos of the system, must be fine management! After discussing with Jiao Yu, Hao Ren will divide the workshop into specific departments, respectively set up 10,000 households of firearms, 10,000 households of bows and crossbows, 10,000 households of ammunition, 10,000 households of boats, 10,000 households of equipment, and 10,000 households of forging, and carry out scientific and technological research and development and production in different categories.

Among them, there are 10,000 firearms, which are the most important 1,000 households, focusing on the research and development of artillery, muskets, earth-shaking thunder, swarm bees, fire dragon water and other fire/drug-related weapons, as well as mass production.

There are 10,000 households of bows and crossbows, mainly for the creation of bows, crossbow carts, catapults, and siege equipment projection cold weapons.

Ammunition 10,000 households, responsible for the mass production of lead bullets, bows and crossbows for various firearms, mainly production units.

Ten thousand boats and boats, responsible for the construction of vehicles and boats. Hao Ren does not want to go on the Northern Expedition at present, there is another important factor, because there is a lot of dry land in the north, which is not as dense as the rivers in the south, and the supply of logistics can be guaranteed by boats and boats, and the logistics transportation in the north depends on vehicles, so it is urgent to develop heavy-duty vehicles.

Ten thousand households, mainly responsible for the improvement and production of agricultural tools and production tools, colleagues produce glass mirrors, belonging to the civilian sector.

Forging Wanhu, responsible for improving and producing all the cold weapons such as knives and guns needed by the Qingfeng Army.

Ten thousand households are responsible for the fine purification of salt.

……

Among them, there are many things that Hao Ren and Jiao Yu did not consider fine, in the future, each 10,000 households can be abolished, merged, and even added at any time, and the equipment produced by 10,000 households will naturally be unified into the warehouse of the Qingfeng Army in Luzhou, and will be allocated by Shi Mu Youcai, the marshal of the Qingfeng Army, and Mu Youcai can give orders to Jiao Yu, the head of the workshop, to arrange the production quantity of various things according to the supply situation!

Although Hao Ren has set up many posts in the workshop, however, in the Qingfeng Army, there are only 1,000 households, and if you want to do 10,000 households, you have to see the ability of your thousands of households. (To be continued.) )
