In the evening, a new group of VIPs came to Sakhalin, Zhao Lu and Lu Jiuyuan arrived......

Speaking of which, I realized that Lu Jiuyuan came to Sakhalin Island this time, first passing through the mill and going all the way with Zhao Lu, so today they came together.

Lu Jiuyuan was promoted to the chief supervisor of the armaments, and now he is already an official of the fourth grade, which is naturally because of his extraordinary achievements in the armament system in the past two years, coupled with the new emperor's accession to the throne, so Lu Jiuyuan sat in this position. In history, Lu Jiuyuan's last official rank is the Zhijun of the five products (Jing 'Gate' Zhi Jun, Zhi Jing 'Gate' Army), in this time and space, with Mao Geng's plug-in, Lu Jiuyuan showed his strengths in the arms manufacturing, Mr. Xiangshan's appeal and organizational ability are super first-class, plus Lu Jiuyuan's painstaking career is also famous, and finally let the Great Song Dynasty weapons manufacturing industry enter a new era, it should be said that when things come to this point, the Minister of Equipment of the Great Song Dynasty is none other than Lu Jiuyuan.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay?" Lu Jiuyuan's temperament is actually better than it was back then, but Lu Jiuyuan's physical foundation is very weak, and every time he sails by boat, he will feel uncomfortable, so Mao Geng asked.

"This time it's okay, in the past two years, Mr. Peng has prescribed 'medicine' for me, and it is acupuncture, and I have practiced Tai Chi a few times a day, and gradually, my health has improved. Hehe, it's easy to remember, this trip is nothing, perhaps, take a boat too much, and get used to it! ”

Historically, in 1193, that is, next year, Lu Jiuyuan died in Jing'men', so it can be said that Lu Jiuyuan's death was due to illness and overwork. During his tenure as Jing 'Gate', Lu Jiuyuan's political achievements were outstanding, and Zhou Bida praised him, saying that officials in all localities should take Lu Jiuyuan as an example of "bowing down." It's really not better than not knowing, if you want to evaluate the "servant of the people", in terms of ability, conduct, and attitude, there are very few cadres of the Celestial Empire in later generations who can rank in front of Lu Jiuyuan.

Now that Lu Jiuyuan's health is good, and the slow 'sexuality' disease on his body seems to have been effectively controlled, Mao Geng felt a burst of relief, and it seems that Mr. Xiangshan in front of him will not die young at the age of 54.

Zhao Luan, Mao Geng, Han Yanxuan and Lu Jiuyuan are the old team members who have worked together in Taiwan.

Lu Jiuyuan's visit this time is actually not a secret, as the boss of the weapons supervisor, the development of the Great Song Dynasty military industry is Lu Jiuyuan's responsibility. The problem is that the military manufacturing industry of the Great Song Dynasty is now increasingly dependent on the Mao Group, and some key technologies are still in the hands of the Mao Group, so the military production of the Great Song Dynasty is like the situation in the 90s of the later dynasties, the key components have to rely on imports, and some domestic military factories are responsible for assembling dry goods. In this way, it is not surprising that the Minister of Armaments of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to come here on Sakhalin Island in person to discuss with Mao Geng the comprehensive development of the Great Song Dynasty military industry, which seems to be the proper meaning of the question.

Lu Jiuyuan not only came by himself this time, but also brought a large technical team, a small part of which of them came to interact with the 'exchange', most of them belonged to the visiting scholars, but most of them came to participate in further training, which is similar to the military-industrial cooperation of the "Sino-US peace model" in the 80s. In the 80 s of the later generations, the United States once opened up its military-technical cooperation with China, and batches of military and military technicians went out, broadened their horizons, and learned some advanced military science and technology. Now, Lu Jiuyuan has brought a refresher training class, in terms of scale, there are more than 120 people, which is not less, this is still the first batch, and there is a second and third batch in the follow-up.

As for why more than 120 people came at once, this is because it is necessary to solve the problem of upgrading the Great Song Dynasty bow and crossbow, which Mao Geng had built with Lu Jiuyuan before. The number of arrows in the Great Song Dynasty is an astronomical amount, and if you don't make good use of it, it is of course a huge 'wave' fee, not to mention that the production of rifles and shotguns is limited, and the cost of bullets is higher than that of arrows.

It is worth mentioning that the Zhuge repeater crossbow has a limited range of "shooting", at most it is effective at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, therefore, according to Mao Geng's plan, in terms of bows and arrows, steel wire pulleys and steel crossbows must be developed, and the bulky "bed" crossbow must also be improved, in addition to using steel wire pulleys, there is also a ratchet structure must be used. However, the wire pulley crossbow is not so easy to make, just a seemingly simple wire rope, in fact it is not the case, I have to say, every line has every line of the road, the wire rope is not only the material, the heat treatment also has to pay attention, it took a year or two, this is to 'feel' some "door" road, that is, this year, the official production of the wire rope suitable for the use of the bow and crossbow.

Two months ago, the Mao's steel wire pulley crossbow was finally trial-produced, and the sample bow was soon sent to Lu Jiuyuan, and then Lu Jiuyuan began to prepare for this trip.

"Yi Sheng, this steel wire pulley bow is still good, but there is a 'fault' problem, which is more delicate, easier to damage than traditional bows, and difficult to serve."

Mao Geng also knows that this is the inherent 'hair' of the steel wire pulley bow, to say that the leather is solid, of course, the traditional bow leather is much more durable, Mao Geng looked at Ma Fen, Ma Fen will understand, and immediately said:

"Lord Lu, according to our practice, there are two uses of the wire pulley crossbow, one is to shoot straight, and the other is to throw 'shot', and the distance of throwing 'shot' is more than two hundred meters, which is difficult to do with old-fashioned bows and crossbows. The advantage of the wire pulley crossbow is that it saves effort, in other words, it can 'shoot' farther with the same force, so throwing 'shooting' is its main advantage, as for the straight 'shooting', this needs training, I think, the archers of the Great Song Dynasty have been trained for a period of time, and they should soon be able to master the use of the wire pulley bow. ”

Ma Fen paused and continued:

"I think that the bow and arrow weapon will be used for defense in the future, well, it will be used to defend the city, and if you defend the city, the maintenance of the steel wire pulley bow is not a big problem, as long as there is a special person responsible for maintenance, the steel wire pulley bow is still very easy to use. Besides, even if there is a steel wire pulley bow, the old-fashioned bow and crossbow can still come in handy, twenty or thirty meters to kill the enemy, Zhuge crossbow is the best to use, thirty meters to 100 meters, is the strength of the old-fashioned bow and crossbow, of course, you can also use the steel wire pulley bow, one hundred meters to two hundred meters, or even farther, that is, the steel wire pulley bow throws the effective range of 'shooting' killing, and then it is farther, then you have to use the 'bed' crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

That being said, the Japanese soldiers trained by Ma Fen now are not equipped with traditional bows at all, but only equipped with Zhuge crossbows and steel wire pulley bows, which have a long production cycle and are much more expensive than steel wire pulley bows, and the Mao Group will certainly not waste time and effort to make these old-fashioned bows and arrows that are destined to be eliminated.

It makes sense, Lu Jiuyuan nodded. Lu Jiuyuan also knew that the 'shooting' range of the rifle was long, unlike the 'shooting' of arrows, which was a heavy work, and when a pot of arrows 'shot' down, the archer's arm would be sore, and the combat power would be greatly reduced, and it was the general trend for the rifle to replace the bow and arrow.

"General Ma is right, Lu also knows that no matter how great the strength of people is, it is not as great as the power of the outbreak of gunpowder, and firearms are the focus of my future military manufacturing in the Great Song Dynasty, so this time, I came to discuss with Chief Mao to expand the production of rifles and shotguns."

"There is also artillery, the output of artillery is too low, and this artillery must also be greatly expanded." Zhao Lu was on the side, not forgetting to remind that of course, rifles and other things must be made in a big way, and artillery must be made with all their lives.

Mao Geng said in his heart, Zhao Lian is really a anxious 'sex', but it just so happened that we were about to sell our mortars, so he smiled:

"Your Highness, Mr. Xiangshan and Mr. Han came at the right time this time, we have just created a new artillery, which has a general advantage compared to the artillery you have seen before. I dare to say responsibly that with this kind of mortar, the 'bed' crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty can be completely withdrawn. ”

"Oh, I'd like to see it, tomorrow. Yi Sheng, you can arrange it. Zhao Lian was a little impatient, wanting to see what the mortar looked like and what magical powers it had.

Shi Baoxiang followed closely behind Zhao Lu, the king of Beihai County, a pair of eyes swept around from time to time, his right hand was always clasped around his waist, and in the yellow-brown 'colored' holster on his waist, there was a Mao's 91-style pistol, as long as something happened, Shi Baoxiang could pull out his pistol at an extraordinary speed at any time, and shoot anyone who dared to disadvantage the king of the county.

It is said that this President Han is about to become the commander of the navy, plus Lu Jiuyuan, the head of the county and the head of Mao, as well as Han and Lu, who fought side by side in Taiwan back then, can be regarded as an old 'friendship'. As soon as I was happy, His Royal Highness the King of the County drank a little too much last night, and after drinking too much, he muttered about "fighting artillery" in his mouth, and he didn't know what "fighting artillery" was.

At this time, a group of stars are holding the moon, surrounded by His Royal Highness the King of the County, this is going to the 'exercise' field, it is said that the head of Mao has created a powerful new weapon, Shi Baoxiang subconsciously rubbed the pistol holster, and his heart did not know what kind of magical weapon it was, it was worth so much to move the people. The revolver he is carrying is magical enough, but if he has a better weapon, according to the 'nature' of the county king, he will definitely 'get' one for himself, who calls himself the strongest guard of His Royal Highness the county king!

When I arrived at a mountain col, I saw from a distance that there were already a circle of sentries around, and those sentries were carrying rifles or shotguns, so tightly protected, there should be no problem with safety, even so, Shi Baofu still had no distractions, just took a look at the scene with his spare eyes, looked at the four roads, and always took precautions.

The target has been set up on the hillside of the mountain, is this to try to 'shoot' the musket?

Then, I saw that the head of Mao took a strange thing from the hand of a person next to him, what is this thing? The whole body is made of steel, emitting a blue and faint cold light, and there are wheels at both ends, and two ropes of unknown material are hung, is this also a kind of bow and arrow! Zhuge Repeater also has a strange appearance, this thing is more magical than Zhuge Repeater!

This thing was handed from the hands of the head of Mao to the hands of His Royal Highness the King of the County, only to see His Royal Highness rubbing this thing, rubbing for a while, and then taking an arrow handed over by the head of Mao, setting up the arrow, and holding up the thing with his left hand, making a bow 'desire' and 'shooting'.

Sure enough, it's a bow!
