Bai Tu handed the crossbow to Gan Ning and let him try it himself—obviously the general's judgment in this regard is the most important.

Gan Ning pulled the crossbow string...... A feeling: loose!

It's very easy to hang on to the bracket, it's just ...... How do you shoot an arrow with such a loose string?

"Turn the handcrank winch on the side." Bai Tu reminded.

Only then did Gan Ning discover that there was actually a winch-like thing, which was also made of metal.

After turning, I saw that the crossbow string tightened a little bit, and even drove the metal bearings installed at the ends of the two bow arms to bend the bow arms a little bit......

About three and a half times later, only to hear a "click", the hand-cranked winch was stuck, and Bai Tu signaled that he could shoot outward to try, someone had already put a straw man outside the door of the middle hall - from Gan Ning's closest to Bai Tu, that is, the innermost position, I am afraid that there are nearly three hundred and fifty steps!

It is also enough to test Gan Ning's shooting accuracy......

Gan Ning shot an arrow at the straw man, and the crisp sound of the machine including the ejection and the crossbow arrow cutting through the air was so pleasant, and then ...... Just heard the sound of "poof", and the straw man wrapped in leather was directly shot through - the killing distance was half farther than the Divine Arm Bow.

"The strength used by Xingba just now can be achieved by ordinary Ji Zao soldiers, right?" Bai Tu asked.

"When training to exert force, use the skills of the arms and back muscles, and make the winch bigger, it should be no problem." Gan Ning said.

This improvement suggestion was also written down by Huang Yueying.

The reason why the same force can shoot farther is essentially because this kind of crossbow separates the string from the upper string - the original power part of the crossbow is when the string is pulled apart, but now it is wound a little bit through the winch, using the same strength of force, the latter is longer to exert force, do more work, and naturally store more potential energy......

"It's just normal mode, look at the jack in the back...... Plug in the 'True Qi Machine' and try it. Bai Tu said.

Hearing this, Gan Ning looked at the fine hole behind the crossbow, and then looked at the rod-like part of the true qi machine, and after inserting it, it really happened to be stuck.

"The True Qi has been exhausted just now, and it needs to be re-infused...... Pay attention to the perfusion rate and its tolerance limit. Bai Tu reminded.

After Gan Ning re-perfusion, he "stimulated" the red part according to what Bai Tu said, and only saw ...... The winch was quickly wound under the impetus of the real qi machine, and this time it was turned for five weeks - before Gan Ning only used the strength of an ordinary soldier, so after the first jam, he did not continue to wind it, in fact, it did not reach the limit.

You don't need to test Gan Ning to know that the power of the crossbow this time is not only greater, but also ...... This winding speed is faster than a normal short bow!

Not only does the power and rate of fire increase, but it also means "saving the crossbow" - the crossbow can maintain a tight state without exerting effort after the string is drawn, so that it can be prepared in advance, but it is also easy to wear out if it takes too long.

This kind of crossbow separates the string from the winding, and only pulls the string to the bracket, the string is very loose and does not cause additional burden, and with the help of the real qi machine, it can be wound quickly before shooting, and there is no need to maintain tension for a long time.

This time it was still a distance of three hundred and fifty paces, but it was replaced with a new arrow - this crossbow arrow with the True Qi Machine mode was also extraordinarily weighty, not only did the arrow end have a small piece of metal arrow shaft, but even the arrow shaft had a metal tail at the end.

An arrow was fired, and the ministers of the General's Mansion sitting on both sides of the trajectory listened to the roar of the arrow, and they also felt some compassion in their hearts and cold sweat on their heads......

Even if the straw man is already covered with iron armor - it is the inner armor part of the step man armor...... But it was still pierced by an arrow, and the arrow was directly exposed behind it!

In terms of range, 350 steps is already the "limit", and to break through this limit, we can only find a way from the aerodynamics of the arrow, otherwise the longer the distance, no matter how strong the force, the trajectory will be deviated from the words.

On Lu Bu's battle armor before, the dragon tongue bow carried only had a range of five hundred paces in Jinyu, that is, five or six hundred meters.

Of course, now Lu Bu's battle armor is also equipped with a special new bow, as well as the "Shenwei Mode" that transcends the golden jade, and the range is not clear.

And the second-generation Divine Arm Crossbow, when using the True Qi Machine, is paired with heavy arrows to "suppress" the trajectory, and at the same time enhance the lethality!

"Once charged, you can shoot about five arrows, and an ordinary gilded warrior will have to rest after charging two or three times, and at most about ten times a day...... Well, if it's only equipped for the generals, it's probably enough. Gan Ning said after weighing it.

With the war, the proportion of gilded generals increased significantly, and in the army under the general's command, the ratio of gilt to wood and stone could almost reach the level of "1:6" and "1:7".

It's a pity that if the wood and stone generals are not particularly good at the type of true qi, they can't charge the true qi machine, and they need gilded generals to help recharge it.

That is to say, in a battle, an ordinary warlord can use the second-generation god arm crossbow to shoot five extremely strong armor-piercing arrows, and then he will have to wind up the fire normally.

"That's right, the larger the true qi machine, the firing is more difficult, and the ratio is more difficult to master, which is a difficult task that the Pang Sibu is tackling." Bai Tu said.

In fact, even now, although the constraints are not small, if the five "bursts" are used well, the effect is not small!

In particular, winding with a real qi machine is faster than pulling a short bow, and if you are proficient, you can almost shoot five arrows in a row.

Pang Tong, who invented the True Qi Engine, is remarkable, but after Huang Yueying learned about the True Qi Engine, she was able to design a structure similar to a valve so quickly and realize the drive of True Qi, and she was indeed a genius in organ learning!

Of course, if you want to mass produce, not to mention whether the materials and assembly lines can keep up, the nutrition of the gilded warrior can't stand such a shot!

So in general, there is still a lot to improve in the True Qi Engine, and it is only just beginning......

In the short term, the crossbow is the lowest cost and the most promising to be able to equip the whole army, and a generation of divine arm crossbows can only be equipped with elites first.

"Well...... I recognize your technique, which has the effect of 'ten thousand enemies'. Gan Ning turned his head and said to Huang Yueying.

only to find ...... When everyone was just attracted the attention of the second-generation god arm crossbow, Huang Yueying lifted the veil upside down again and was sending a small crisp cake to her mouth.

Seeing Gan Ning talking to her, Huang Yueying put down the veil without embarrassment, and nodded after smoothing it out—as if for her, time was standing still just now.

Gan Ning: ......

The few staff members who originally wanted to persuade Bai Tu to withdraw the appointment of Huang Yueying were helpless at this time - not to mention the side, just say that this repeater and the so-called second-generation divine arm crossbow, if it was really designed by Huang Yueying, how would they impeach? Whoever dares to speak, Bai Tu can push him against the wall with a sentence of "you can do it".

However, thinking that Huang Yueying's duty is not just simple on the surface, but will also bring more far-reaching "negative impacts", Zhang Zhao still stood up and said: "Miss Huang's academic attainments are indeed amazing, the old man represents the people of the world and the generals of the army, and I am deeply grateful to Miss Huang for her magic skills." It's just that...... Lord, if in the future, women in Yangzhou and even the world will learn from Miss Huang, what should I do? ”

first touted Huang Yueying, and then turned his head to look at Bai Tu.

"If that's the case, it's also those who should be worried about the glamorous and ghostly people, if there are thousands of yellow sacrificial wines in the world, why worry about the world." Bai Tu laughed.

Zhang Zhao also found that there was a loophole in his words, so he added: "Your Majesty means that other women don't have the ability of Miss Huang, but they also want to dare to be the ......."

"Huh? I don't just see a woman and appoint her to be the great sacrificial wine...... What exactly is Zibu talking about? Bai Tu has a "hello, no logic" tone.

"No, no, no, my lord...... His Majesty said that although they didn't have Miss Huang's ability, they could do something else, such as ......"

"Like a textile mill? Well, according to the statistics of the household department, the proportion of female workers in the workshop is indeed gradually expanding...... However, this is also a good thing, and the commission system also allows the people to have additional income and reduce the burden. Bai Tu said.

Since workshops also have a "poll tax" on employees, the household department is registered for the ratio of men to women in the workshop.

"Your Majesty is saying ......"

"Zibu doesn't want to ban female workers, right? I can't think of any plausible reason. Bai Tu asked rhetorically.

As soon as they heard that female workers were banned, many people looked at Zhang Zhao - now many wealthy families in Yangzhou have the "business" of the workshop, although it is not a pillar and cannot shake the idea of the land standard, but it is also a big industry.

Zhang Zhao was also confused by the white picture, why did he obviously think about the atmosphere for the sake of the atmosphere, and he wanted to ban female workers for no reason?

In fact, it is still a lack of productivity, as a textile factory, it is only spinning and spinning hemp, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has not yet begun to grow cotton, and it is ...... Cotton that can really be spun on a large scale is still in the Golden State, and even the fiber thickness of the cotton varieties in Kushan (India) is difficult to use a textile machine to spin on a large scale.

What's more, in the case that most of the people's power is still involved in the land, no matter how much productivity is improved, there is still some improvement, so in general, high-yield crops are still necessary - Gan Ning suddenly felt that Bai Tu looked at himself eagerly.

Gan Ning: ???

"Your Majesty actually means ...... Worried that Miss Huang was on duty in the Ministry of Works, she was too aggrieved. Zhang Zhao said genuinely aggrieved.

The atmosphere of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not like the direct oppression of women after the prosperity of science a thousand years later.

Although there is a difference between men and women, even in the eyes of Zhang Zhao and other conservatives, it is important that this has an impact on women's reputation, rather than fundamentally believing that women cannot obtain a higher status and must be vassals of men.

So after seeing Huang Yueying's tangible achievements, they were speechless......

After all...... The Eastern Han Dynasty was a country in which relatives and eunuchs took turns in power.

"Grievance?" Bai Tu looked at Huang Yueying's position, and then looked at Zhang Zhao's position.

The eyes seem to say, Huang Xijiu is sitting much closer than you...... Right? Zhang Master Book.

Zhang Zhao was looked at by Bai Tu's eyes, his face was hot for a while, and he said with some annoyance: "Your Majesty is worried that Miss Huang's husband will have bad thoughts about Miss Huang being on duty in the Ministry of Industry all day long!" ”

That's right, Zhang Zhao doesn't look down on women much, let alone have an opinion on Huang Yueying herself, but is worried that Huang Yueying's use as a "role model" will destroy the family model of "men farming and women weaving" in the opposition and "men outside and women inside" in the city.

Vision decides...... He has great confidence in this long-term stable model, but he has a deep fear of destroying it.

It is not so much about the decline of men's status, but about the collapse of the entire social model......

Bai Tu didn't have this kind of worry, but said: "Huang Saijiu has not been married yet, and you want me to ...... If any man has a prejudice against the Yellow Sacrifice Wine being on duty in the Ministry of Industry, and contributing to the General's Mansion and the people of the world, that kind of person is not worthy of marrying our Yellow Sacrifice Wine.

The same applies to women workers in other workshops...... I understand what Zibu means, but in this regard, I think that the Yellow Sacrifice Wine is a good example. If it were me, I would only be proud of the Yellow Sacrifice Wine! ”

After Bai Tu finished speaking, he found that the scene was a little cold......

Kindness? I seem to ...... Shouldn't this be an example? It's like I'd love to say "it's me"!

Huang Yueying, who was also very calm when she was stealing pastries (blatantly) before, was also in her heart at this time, and said with some trepidation: "Lord, Your Majesty...... Not yet married! ”

I haven't been married yet, don't you have any ideas!
