Lu Kang saw that the atmosphere was cool, but no one spoke first, and understood that this was the time for him to play a role, so he took the initiative to lead the topic and said, "Cough, lord...... It seems that there is an extra colleague in the Ministry of Industry that everyone doesn't know, so could you please introduce herself? ”

"That's right, the Ministry of Industry is usually busy with affairs and involves a lot of secrets, so if the Pang Sibu has nothing important, he won't come to the Yuedan Meeting, and Huang Xijiu is also because she has just joined the General's Mansion, so I invited her this time...... This is Huang Yueying and Huang Sacrificial Wine who have been invited by Benhou many times to join the Ministry of Industry of the General's Mansion! Bai Tu said.

It is precisely because there are no other important officials in the Ministry of Industry, and there are only a few officials of an "administrative" nature, that the grade of the Great Sacrifice Liquor is the largest among the officials of the Ministry of Industry present, so it sits so high.

Everyone present could naturally notice that Bai Tu specially called himself "Ben Hou" in the end.

Usually, Bai Tu rarely calls himself like this, obviously not to say it smoothly, but to emphasize - Huang Yueying is a talent invited by my dignified Chu Hou!

"Nanyang Huang Yueying, female, fond of institutional studies, seventeen years old, what do you ...... If you have ideas related to mechanical studies, you can come to the Ministry of Engineering to find me. Huang Yueying said flatly.

"I didn't expect that Huang Sacrificial Wine was still so young, but it was just ...... Huang Sai Liquor works in the Ministry of Industry, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of inconvenience, right? Zhang Zhao made a concerned tone.

Without waiting for Huang Yueying to speak, Bai Tu said for her first: "Hahaha, I'm afraid Zibu is worrying about it this time." Judging from the results of the current dispatch of the officials, the yellow sacrificial wine is in the forefront in terms of merit and the support and love of subordinates, especially the new 'Yueying Repeater', which is about to enter the assembly line production stage.

Recently, a new crossbow has been developed, and the single range and damage are very amazing, and in the future, when these are popularized throughout the army, it can at least increase the combat effectiveness of the army by 20%, that is, reduce the casualties by 20%, plus the civilian population pays less than 20% of the manpower consumption...... If you don't work hard, this year's New Year's Day Festival, I'm afraid that the Yellow Festival wine will be outstanding! ”

"The lord has won the award, the mechanism structure of the new crossbow was designed by me, but the energy supply device is the credit of Pang Sibu, otherwise I would not have thought of designing this kind of crossbow." Huang Yueying said without greed.

It's just that this singing and harmony makes other people a little uncomfortable.

Other words......

Huang Yueying has not only been appointed, but has also been evaluated, and even has actual performance?

"My lord, didn't the Ministry of Industry also have a batch of new crossbows called the Divine Arm Crossbow before, which has been developed and is being assembled with the generals and elites of the whole army, and this is also the batch, right?" Yu Fu said very straightforwardly.

It's not that he has much opinion about Huang Yueying, it's just that he can't get used to Bai Tu's "false achievements".

In fact, the white picture does have an element of touting, not to mention anything else...... Pang Tong's recent discovery is the highlight!

"That's right, the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Repeater are good at each other, and they will each equip the whole army later, and the new crossbow I am talking about should be regarded as an enhanced version of the second-generation Divine Arm Crossbow, which will give priority to equipping the generals...... Especially the admirals of the navy who are about to sail away. Bai Tu said and looked at Gan Ning.

"Thank you for your kindness, but ...... Naval warfare requires range advantage, and long journeys are also a test of the durability of weapons, or longbows and steel knives are better used. Gan Ning said with some concern.

In the era before artillery, water warfare itself was "counter-shooting" accounted for 70 percent, and broadside warfare accounted for 30 percent.

Or a simple longbow is more practical!

In the case of crossbows, not only is the range inferior to bows and arrows, but the structure is complex and easily damaged.

"Xingba, don't worry, you just came back and don't know that now the Divine Arm Crossbow has exceeded the range of an ordinary longbow, and has begun to develop a shipborne bed crossbow, and in the future, the Navy will have weapons that can also destroy the hull from a long range. In the past half month, the navy that is going to sea will first popularize the divine arm crossbow and repeating crossbow, and the war generals will try to equip the second-generation god arm crossbow. Bai Tu said.

"What god arm crossbow, the second generation god arm crossbow...... I've only been away for half a year, and there are a lot of new things in the General's Mansion......" Gan Ning sighed, and at the same time added in his heart: It would be nice if Jinxiu could develop so fast.

It's a pity that the development of silk weaving and textiles in Jiangdong is indeed very fast, but ...... But it is developing in the direction of convenience and popularization, and it is not the same direction as the gorgeous splendid that Gan Ning likes.

"The Divine Arm Crossbow can be seen as an enhanced version of the Foot Crossbow, while the second-generation Divine Arm Crossbow ...... It's hard to explain, it's not just a 'crossbow' in terms of conception, but can be used in all directions...... Ahem, let's take this opportunity to demonstrate. Bai Tu said.

When Pang Tong first discovered this energy supply method, Bai Tu was also very surprised.

Although there are still many constraints, the direction makes Bai Tu see a different hope.

"First of all, I will show you one thing, which is a new type of ...... developed by Pang Sibu before Material. Bai Tu said, and ordered someone to take a fist-sized glass bead, the whole is green, but one end has a depression about one-fifth the size, the depression is filled with red glass, and the red glass part stretches out a thumb-thick and middle-finger-long glass pillar......

For this kind of brittle glass, everyone here is already very familiar with it, and they already have some understanding of its cost, at least ...... It's no longer a rare treasure!

Thinking of the way they didn't see it more than a year ago, everyone was still a little ashamed.

"This is the new material developed by the Pang Division? Color...... It's a lot more colorful. Yu turned a compliment, and then looked at the white picture, saying that he didn't see any difference between this thing and other artificial glass except for the color.

"It's not a matter of color, when I was in Shouchun before, my father-in-law and Ziyi and Zilong worked together to make medicines and treat epidemics, do you still have an impression?" Bai Tu asked.

"And my brother ......" Sun Quan, who was in the corner like Lu Xun, added weakly at this time, but unfortunately it was too far away from Bai Tu and was not heard.

"That's what it is...... Well, the instrument for 'extracting' the essence? Zhang Zhao guessed when he heard this, he has learned a lot of new words over the years.

"No, it's the inspiration from there, it's not a thing...... After that time, Pang Sibu discovered that the nature of true qi was different from that of ordinary natural substances.

And...... Changing the ratio of trace elements in the glaze can create a material that is very sensitive to true qi, and then by changing the ratio, the material can be combined with different forms of true qi...... Well, to put it simply...... Lingqi, you can demonstrate. Bai Tu saw that everyone didn't understand much, so he handed the things to Lu Lingqi on the side to "demonstrate".

Lu Lingqi also took it directly, "covered" Bai Tu's clumsy tongue, only to see her holding a fist-sized glass bead, and then pouring into it True Qi that did not show lethality - although the strength is not yet liquefied, the control of this hand alone is already stronger than Sun Ce!

Then the green part of the glass beads became more emerald green, and even ...... It's still a little shining!

Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he saw this - he had decided to fill his bedroom with this kind of "jewel".

After that, Bai Tu handed over the glass beads that were already slightly shiny to Gan Ning, and said to him: "Xingba, you should treat yourself as an ordinary general, and use the weakest and weakest true qi to stimulate the red part a little...... Note that it's 'stimulus', not 'attack'. ”

Gan Ning took it, first admired it, and then did as Bai Tu said.

There was nothing dazzling happening as expected, and the others just faintly heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing through the narrow place, and it was not loud, it came from Gan Ning's hands......

Soon Gan Ning showed everyone the source of this sound - I saw Gan Ning put his palm on one end of the red pillar, and at this time, some of the staff members who were close to him could already see that the red pillar was hollow like a reed pole!

Judging from the sound, it is the red rod-shaped part, which is constantly blowing outward......

"This is the use of two different proportions of glaze, the degree of harmony of the true qi is different, in short...... The green part can be stored, and as it passes through the red part, the True Qi will be transformed into a manifestation of the flow of air...... Anyway, you don't know what air is, just know that the air will keep gushing out! Bai Tu said.

Although the explanation is very perfunctory, Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao and others don't care, they are not interested in these principles in the first place, they know that "true qi can be stored" and "it will continue to squirt after excitation".

As the gas gushed out, the glass beads gradually dimmed, and it didn't take long for them to return to their original appearance.

I don't know how to do it!

It's magical!

Amazing!

However......

What's the use?

"You can't use this kind of strength for archery, right?" Gan Ning wondered.

"Don't worry, this is just a new structure discovered by Pang Sibu, I call it the 'True Qi Engine', and there are infinite possibilities for how it can be used...... But since Xingba is already in a hurry, let's take a look at the second-generation god arm crossbow. Bai Tu said helplessly.

Sure enough, it was not the steam engine that started the industrial revolution, but the industrial revolution that made the steam engine......

The steam engine, coal, steel, and iron are the four kings that promote and accelerate industrialization, but they are not the founders and openers.

It's like the land at the foot of Baitu, in the history without the White Rabbit effect, there have been countless advanced inventions and discoveries - without the background of the times, just more inventions cannot be transformed into productivity!

If it is in the history without the White Rabbit effect, even if the steam engine is really born, I am afraid it will only be the same as the Huang Daopo textile machine, and even the name of the creator will not be left, only in the textbooks of later generations, leaving a regrettable "XXX in my country was the first XXX before XX years ago", and other than that, nothing can be changed.

At this time, there were also guards who sent a crossbow gun that looked very "industrial" to Bai Tu.

On the whole, most of them are metal components, and the most conspicuous thing is that this crossbow does not have horizontal crossbow arms, but two opposite bow arms, which are placed vertically on the crossbow, so the overall appearance is very "slim" and long......
