Chapter 247: Three Killing Weapons
Smiling awkwardly, Ao Lie hurriedly diverted the topic: "According to a certain opinion, if this kind of ballista wants to achieve the best effect, it is not possible to use ordinary wood, it must be made of jujube wood, jujube wood is hard, insects are not easy to stay, and water resistance is also very good, it is the best choice for making ballistas." ”
The thinking of Wang Hun and the others was immediately pulled back to the selection of ballistae by Ao Lie's words, and they could no longer care about the grudge against Ao Lie. In fact, the people who will be imprisoned have a common characteristic, that is, the desire to explore the unknown, which is extremely strong, and they are proud of creating things that are not in this world, this trait, in the eyes of ordinary people, may be a little paranoid, a little eccentric, but Ao Lie knows that this trait is the driving force for them to explore the unknown, and in the future generations, almost every accomplished scientist can find the shadow of this trait.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Hun said: "Yes, the tolerance of jujube wood to tension is much higher than that of ordinary wood, if you use jujube wood to make ballistas, you don't even need to improve, the power and range of ballistas will also go to a higher level, I didn't expect that the prince and the marquis will also dabble in the way of the general." ”
Ao Lie smiled, and then explained the principle of the three-bow bed crossbow in the later Song Dynasty to Wang Hun and others, and pointed out the characteristics of the three-bow bed crossbow, which is a gun and three sword crossbows, that is to say, the three-bow bed crossbow can be equipped with four crossbow arrows, one is as thick as a javelin, and the other three are similar to the body shape of the long sword.
With Ao Lie's narration. The minds of Wang Hun and the others were suddenly opened. In the Han Dynasty, many things in later generations, people did not have the wisdom to make them, but no one would think about it at that level, which was caused by the limitations of the times, not that people did not have this ability. Of course, Ma Jun's thinking is still relatively advanced, he can touch the bypass, invent water turning wheels and other utensils that are conducive to farming, but. This is also the sadness of Ma Jun. People who are too talented in a certain field are often regarded as outliers by the vast majority of ordinary people, and Ma Jun in history is like this. When the Zhuge Repeater came out. Ma Jun once spoke to those in power in Cao Wei. said that he could make a repeater that was more accurate than Zhuge Repeater, but in the end his opinion was not adopted, because Zhuge Repeater was placed at that time. is already the existence of the peak, and no one thinks that there will be another kind of repeater that can surpass it, so Ma Jun's remarks are naturally considered by those in power to be a fantasy, so they are automatically ignored. Fortunately, now that Ma Jun has been cast under Ao Lie, his ingenuity can be used to his heart's content and without any restrictions.
Ma Jun, who had an epiphany in Ao Lie's narration, couldn't wait to turn around and walk towards the ballista behind him, he had some ideas, and he needed to compare them with the ballista entity before he could make a conclusion. Because he was too immersed in the improvement of the ballista, Ma Jun even forgot to salute Ao Lie and retire, and directly treated Ao Lie as air.
Ao Lie looked at Ma Jun's back with some consternation, then shook his head and laughed, this is simply the workaholic in the mouth of later generations, he will only focus on research and work, and his whole mind has no place to accommodate anything other than research, and even the basic etiquette of the boss is ignored. In later generations, Ao Lie has seen a lot of similar people, they are the backbone of the enterprise, the company relies on such people, constantly developing products, and generating profits, but this kind of people, it is difficult to get promoted, because of their temperament, so that the boss loves and hates them, and while relying on their skills, they will not give them the opportunity to be promoted. However, Ao Lie is very open-minded, and he only has love for Ma Jun, but no hatred.
Wang Hun defended Ma Jun on the side: "Junhou, Deheng (Ma Jun's word) is obsessed with crops, but he doesn't mean to snub Junhou...... Ao Lie waved his hand generously, and said with a smile: "A certain can understand, and a certain does not mean to blame Deheng." Originally, he wanted to tell Deheng a few other things, but now it seems that he can only bother Lord Wang to relay it to him. ”
As soon as he heard Ao Lie's narration of other strange things, Wang Hun's mind was immediately attracted, and he instructed a craftsman to greet the other disciples, and then ran to the room in person, brought a chair out, and brought Ao Lie a pot of tea by the way, which was developed by Ao Lie and sold by the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. Dare to be affectionate, Wang Hun is afraid that Ao Lie will be thirsty halfway through, it will be too disappointing, looking at Wang Hun's appearance, he is preparing to dig out all the things in Ao Lie's stomach.
Subsequently, the people who were sent by Wang Hun to greet other disciples also returned, and there were ten people behind him, this is Wang Hun's personal disciple, counting Ma Jun, who was meditating hard by the ballista on the side, a total of nineteen people. These nineteen people were all taught by Wang Hun, and each of them had extraordinary skills. At the same time, they are all students who graduated from Yenching Academy, and their loyalty to Ao Lie is undoubted, so Ao Lie is not worried that the research and development of new weapons will be leaked out during the research and development process.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Ao Lie standardized the management of the superintendents, and adopted the method of assembly operation for the production of the weapons of the superintendents, and the core secrets were only in the hands of a few people such as Wang Hun and Ma Jun, and the core components of each weapon were completed by them personally, and most craftsmen just cast some parts that looked very ordinary, and they didn't know how the core components of the Dao were made. In addition, the installation of the weapon as a whole is carried out by another group of craftsmen, who are only responsible for the installation and do not participate in the casting. Ao Lie adopted this method of assembly operation and divide and rule to ensure as much as possible that the new weapons in the army that crossed the era would not be explored by other princes. So far, except for the world-famous Jidu slashing saber and Rahu dragon horn spear of the Blood Killing Army and the Longxiang Army, there is no secret at all, and other advanced weapons are still unique to Ao Lie, and other princes can't imitate them if they want to break their brains. And the horse chopping knife and dragon horn spear, without Ao Lie's original Blood Killing Eight Slash and Dragon Xiang Nine Style, would not be able to exert any power at all, even if other princes followed suit. It's also a chicken-like existence.
Looking at the nineteen outstanding craftsmen in front of him, Ao Lie's heart felt very steady. With the gradual maturity of the students in the Yanjing Academy, more and more good craftsmen will appear in their ranks in the future, and gradually expand the scale of the prison, and wait until one or two years later, advanced weapons such as ballistas can be mass-produced and equipped in the army on a large scale.
Accompanied by joy in the heart. Ao Lie explained in detail the principles of the other two types of mass killing weapons on the battlefield. The first piece. The name is Tiannu Sanhua, and its principle is similar to that of later mines, except that the internal filling is different from mines, which is the use of fire oil with a certain amount of nitrate, sulfur and other mixtures. Fill into a watermelon-sized iron bullet. Then or throw it by hand. Or it can be thrown with a stone thrower, or it can be buried in the ground to make a trigger, once the outside of the iron bullet is violently impacted. Or if the fuse is triggered, an explosion will occur, and the iron sheet on the surface of the iron bomb will be blown open, shattered into fine pieces of iron, and shot in all directions, so it is called the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers. This thing was conceived by Ao Lie according to the principle of mines in later generations, and its difficult problem to overcome is how to adjust the ratio of the filling inside the iron bullet, and the thickness of the iron bullet to be suitable, not too thick nor too thin, not only to ensure that it can be exploded, but also to ensure that the internal filling will explode after being shaken. Ao Lie did not dare to guarantee that this thing would be developed, but in the history of later generations, during the Ming Dynasty, there were triggered mines, indicating that the ancients had a fairly mature technique for the use of gunpowder. Now that Ao Lie has the Fuyu oil field in his hands, he can use the solidified oil to develop a new gunpowder with sulfur and nitrate, a more comprehensive gunpowder than the ternary system that was first published in the Sui Dynasty.
In fact, it has been described in the romance that Zhuge Liang used mines when he captured Meng Shu in the seventh, but Ao Lie doesn't know whether the mines in the Romance of the Dao are the same thing as the mines of later generations, so Ao Lie's expectations for the Heavenly Maiden are not high, and it is good to be able to develop them, but if they can't be developed, Ao Lie will not feel any regrets.
Compared with the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, the second killing weapon that Ao Lie told is much more realistic. This is a new type of warship, different from the conventional building ships and warships of the Han Dynasty, this shipbuilding method proposed by Ao Lie, between the entire side and the bottom of the ship, is an inverted triangle shape, rather than the conventional flat-bottom shape. This kind of warship is somewhat similar to the warships of later generations, which is more conducive to riding the wind and waves, and greatly accelerates the speed of the warship on the water. In order to maximize the speed of the new warship, Ao Lie proposed that a more advanced method should be adopted than hand paddling, that is, pedal paddling. The force of the human leg is much greater than that of the arm, so the use of foot pedals is definitely more able to speed up the speed of the warship than the method of hand rowing. For Ma Jun, who can invent a pedal overturning water wheel, Ao Lie firmly believes that this will definitely not be difficult for him.
At the same time, Ao Lie also separately proposed a large weapon that should be widely installed on warships - the batter. The so-called clap stick is to use the principle of leverage, coupled with the assistance of mechanical force, two hard and thick wooden poles are installed on the battleship in a V-shape, one wooden pole is used as a fix, and the other wooden pole is a weapon to kill the enemy. When the lever is in operation, the fixed wooden pole is stationary, while the killing wooden pole is tied to the head of the pole with a heavy object, and then it falls from a high altitude to inflict damage on the nearby enemy ship, or break the hull of the enemy ship. It's like a giant fly swatter, swatting the fly hard; It is also like the crane of the construction site of later generations, which fell from a high altitude after losing control, its power is self-evident.
The reason why Ao Lie put the new warship on the agenda is because he always has a knot in his heart. Ever since he descended on this world, Ao Lie has thought that one day, he will be able to lead his navy across the ocean and level the island country of Fuso, thousands of miles to the east. In later generations, people's hatred for this island country is infinite, and Ao Lie is naturally no exception, he doesn't want the scene of those countrymen being slaughtered in later generations to reappear. The research and development of new warships and the development of large-scale water warfare weapons are, on the one hand, to prepare for future battles, but more importantly, Ao Lie wants to personally kill Fuso Island, capture Himiko alive, and kill all men, women and children on Fuso Island, leaving no chickens and dogs. Himiko, the queen of the Wa Kingdom in the game of later generations, Ao Lie is not sure if such a woman really exists, if so, Ao Lie must capture her alive, and then give her to his opponents, such as Cao Cao. Ao Lie firmly believes that with the nature of a Fusang woman, the other party will definitely be confused, and it is best to let Cao Cao die on Himiko's belly. Ao Lie thought with some viciousness.
If these three cross-era weapons can be developed and then equipped in the army, the combat effectiveness of Ao Lie's horses, infantry, and naval armies will be greatly improved, and by that time, Ao Lie's troops will become semi-mechanized troops, which will be enough to dominate the world in this era.
