"If I'm not mistaken, I should have inspected the arsenal when I took office, and that's fine, right? If I don't even look at the arsenal, then how can I know what weapons and equipment my Datang uses? Chen Fei asked.

Of course, Yang Hongli couldn't say anything, because Chen Fei's request was very normal, because if he didn't go to inspect the arsenal as a Kurabu Langzhong, how could he take office! Therefore, Yang Hongli naturally couldn't stop it, but he, as his deputy, had to take Chen Fei with him personally. Although his title is relatively high, he often has to consider the relationship between his actual position. If Yang Hongli is not Chen Fei's subordinate, then Yang Hongli will not have any problem with Chen Fei. But if he is his subordinate, even if he has a higher title, he must cooperate as much as possible. Just like the military rank of the army in later generations, sometimes the military rank of subordinates is higher than that of the superior, but you still have to obey the orders of the boss with a lower rank, after all, the relationship between the upper and lower positions still has to be exquisite.

"Alright! Chen Langzhong, I'll take you! Yang Hongli said.

Chen Fei and Yang Hongli came to the arsenal located in the east of Chang'an City, which was where various military equipment were stored. And Chen Fei is also here for the first time, but in the future, it will be within his jurisdiction. And there are some soldiers guarding the door of this arsenal, so Chen Fei doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Chen Langzhong, this is a place where weapons are grown, do you want to go in and have a look?" Yang Hongli asked.

Chen Fei took the initiative to go in and take a look, there were places with some long weapons. This long weapon has a long lance, which is a weapon commonly used in the Tang Dynasty during this period. During the Tang Dynasty, it was mainly based on long lances, and cavalry and infantry were all using horse lances, as well as a horizontal knife and a bow. A square cowhide shield. Such an infantry had at least three offensive weapons, namely a lance and a bow and arrow, and as for the square cowhide shield, it was to protect himself. This is a light infantry weapon, and the other units also have other weapons and equipment.

The proportion of crossbow equipment of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty was one hundred and twenty percent, and every soldier had a bow and crossbow, while the Tang Dynasty did not have a special crossbow soldier, after all, so many bows and crossbows were enough firepower. And the soldier equipment of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be almost the pinnacle of the era of cold weapons, and no one can compare with them. In the Song Dynasty, it was a tragedy, because the lack of cavalry caused the soldiers to be constantly equipped with heavy armor. As a result, the soldiers could not withstand too many weapons. As for the Ming Dynasty, at that time it was already almost semi-firearmed, and it could not be compared with them. Therefore, the pinnacle of cold weapons was the Tang Dynasty, and no one could compare with the soldiers in the era of cold weapons.

"Chen Langzhong, I'm the leader of the craftsmen here, do you have anything to ask?" A craftsman asked.

Chen Fei immediately took the initiative to ask: "Why don't you try to adopt a modular design?" Here the horizontal knife, the lance, and the cowhide shield can be completely combined. If you replace the iron tip of the lance, then put the crossblade on it. Isn't that a big knife? And if you make the barrels of those long lances shorter, and then pass through the connecting parts one by one, so that they can also become guns of different lengths, which can be changed as needed. ”

And the craftsman suddenly patted his head. And then said, "How did we not think of it?" ”

Chen Fei shook his head, the craftsmen of this era actually didn't think of this. In later generations, many weapons were general-purpose. It is possible to use it universally and to implement a modular design of weapons as much as possible. The modular design allows the weapon to be multi-functional and reduces production costs. As for the other situation, it can be replenished in time on the battlefield, which can also allow them to pick up the weapons left by their comrades at any time. Then replace a certain part and continue to use it, and find a repair point again without breaking a little, and then repair it again. So modularity is still very beneficial, but the ancients couldn't think of it at all.

The ancients did not experience the historical development of later generations, so naturally they could not think of using modular design ideas. Modularity is a matter of thinking in the final analysis, but the ancients did not experience so much accumulation, so naturally they could not think of integrating multiple weapons together. In this way, it can be changed at any time, that is, it can be made into different weapons, and even some changes can be made at any time according to the actual needs of the soldiers and the battlefield. This is very good for soldiers, but the ancients really couldn't think of it!

"Chen Langzhong, this method is good, but there is also a problem. Because if weapons can be changed at any time, how do we connect them? If it is like Chen Langzhong's proposal, it will have to go through frequent changes, and the weapon will easily loosen! The craftsman said.

According to the thinking of the ancients, if the weapon is so casually modularized, it will also cause a problem. That is, when ancient weapons used wooden rods and then connected them to iron spear heads, it was naturally very unstable. Originally, although they were not modular, they used various means to make them stronger. However, if you have to loosen the use of modularity frequently, it may end up being loose on the battlefield because it is not strong enough, which is also very dangerous.

"Don't you know how to use threads? If you use threads, you can tighten when you want to tighten, and you can loosen when you want him to loosen. Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei then explained the concept of thread, which was an eye-opener for those craftsmen, who did not expect that the concept of thread could still be used. If you use threads, you can easily loosen them when you want to loosen them, but if you don't want them to loosen, they are often not so easy to loosen, so threads can be said to be a key. If threads can be used, then the final result, that is, the modularity of weapons, can be considered.

"But, Chen Langzhong, the thread is not easy to get! If you get this thread, then each of our craftsmen uses different techniques, and each weapon has its own characteristics, and the thread can't be used! The craftsman said.

Chen Fei began to think about it, this is also a problem. Because every craftsman makes something different, the thread is naturally different, and if the thread is different at that time, it is really a big head. Once the thread standard is different, it will not be able to be screwed in the end. Therefore, Chen Fei also felt that his modularity was a little taken for granted.
