Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sniper Crossbow
For the current crossbow, He Huan is indeed very dissatisfied with its current power.
Armor piercing within fifty meters?
No, it's weak.
Fifty meters is an easy distance that can be easily shortened for many generals in this world.
It is too difficult to shoot a military general within fifty meters with a crossbow and still moving.
Unless you can shoot the opponent by surprise from a longer distance, it is best to be able to shoot the head with one arrow.
He Huanhui wanted to shoot the head with an arrow, mainly because he thought of the sniper rifle in his previous life.
In such an era of cold weapons, even composite bows have not been invented.
The crossbow that He Huan has developed now can actually be regarded as an otherworldly version of a sniper crossbow for cold weapons.
And what He Huan wants to make the crossbow play the most is to snipe the generals of this world.
The distance is too close, and the generals who protect the body of Gangqi can't shoot, let alone the existence of the inner and outer Gangqi like the Great Prince.
So if you want to snipe them, you can only make the crossbow have a longer range and more powerful.
Since the crossbow in the previous life can shoot so far, even the wall collapses and destroys the city, why can't you do it yourself?
It's okay to be far away, I'm not afraid of not being able to see clearly.
Since he wanted to get closer to the sniper rifle and make the crossbow a sniper crossbow, He Hui also thought of a solution to the problem of aiming.
Isn't it just a magnifying glass or a telescope?
The production of this thing is not difficult for He Huan, although there is no glass now, as long as the transparency is high enough, it can be replaced by other things.
It's just that He Hui doesn't know that in this world, due to the high value of personal force, coupled with the blessing of the military array, the equipment of the soldiers is not very good.
It's not impossible to want everyone to wear armor, but those armors are not all metal.
In other words, travel light.
There may be a few thin sheets of iron in the main location, and most of the place is just cloth.
There are pros and cons to this.
The advantage is that it is light and more mobile, but the defense is too low.
Moreover, because the value of personal force is too high, if the equipment is too heavy, it will undoubtedly be a burden and seriously affect their performance.
Sometimes two armies face each other, and two generals can decide the course of a battle head-on-hand.
Therefore, the people of this world do not think about the equipment of the soldiers so long-term.
To develop heavy armor defense, it is better to cultivate yourself well and let your strength climb to a higher level.
In their eyes, no matter how heavy the defense is, it is also a matter of a knife after the strength reaches the standard.
Therefore, when Yue Feng said that he was wearing armor within fifty meters, he was referring to those leather armors, or light iron sheets.
If He Huan knew that it was just that little power, it was estimated that he would vomit blood.
The power is so low.
This is too far from those powerful crossbows in history!
…………
He Hui has now devoted himself to the study of crossbows, and after dealing with government affairs, he will personally go to the arsenal to discuss the research and development of crossbows with those craftsmen.
It's all about enhancing the power of the crossbow.
Thinking about the crossbows of the previous life, whether it is a rhubarb crossbow or a god arm crossbow, the range is far beyond his current crossbow.
It was also far more powerful than it is now.
He Huan didn't want to exaggerate too much, he couldn't do it if he was too exaggerated, at least he could get closer to them.
As for aiming, He Hui also set his eyes on the sight lens.
What are lenses?
It's glass.
How did the glass come from, the sand burned out.
However, it is only necessary to know that glass is burned out of sand, but this also requires sand.
The purer the sand, the better.
I really haven't studied much in my previous life, so I can only give it a try.
However, sometimes it is not necessary to use glass for the production of lenses, and it is also possible to use crystal with high transparency.
Sulfur and saltpeter have not yet been found in this world, but crystals have long been discovered, and they are expensive and belong to the ranks of luxury goods.
With Fancheng's current financial resources, I dare not say more, and it is still possible to buy less.
He didn't know exactly how to get the scope, but he still knew how to make magnifying glasses and telescopes.
After all, this knowledge is taught when I go to school, and it is the basic of the basics.
As long as you are attentive, you will know that He Huan once made a telescope by himself.
Through contact with the merchants of Yangcheng, He Hui purchased a batch of crystals, which were polished to form a magnifying glass.
Then the two magnifying glasses are aligned with the focal length, and the telescope is formed.
After the telescope is made, it is natural to install it on the crossbow.
However, the current crossbow range is still too short and not powerful enough, and the telescope is placed aside.
However, because crystals are too expensive, even if they are processed into telescopes, they need to be well protected.
And the telescope is not only used for aiming, but also for military strategy.
Seeing with your eyes and seeing with a telescope are completely different things, and the benefits go without saying.
With the lessons of the last battle, He Hui is now extremely optimistic about the development of military forces.
He needs a strong army, and he needs to have great abilities.
In the case of a shortage of generals at the top, the armed forces of the army have become the first element.
It's just that thinking about how to enhance the strength of the army with He Harmony is always not as easy as leveling.
This also made He Hui even more eager to have a leveling place soon.
The capital of the Great Xia Empire is the location of the dungeon.
In order to obtain that pure natural leveling place, He Huan had already locked his strategic goal there.
…………
On the other side of the Putuo River, Yangcheng.
Liu Wei, the county guard, sat on the main seat, and under him stood several strategists.
Yangcheng's only martial arts general who has entered the body is also among them.
Liu Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it, do you want to inform the six princes about this matter?" ”
The incident of the mutiny in the imperial city did not deliberately pass on documents to tell the officials in various places, after all, this is a scandal for the royal family.
If one less knows, one less knows.
It's just such a big thing, and it can be regarded as spreading in the national capital, and then only everyone passed it on orally, and finally it was more than a month later, and it reached Yangcheng.
Moreover, the reason why Yangcheng knew about this was because of the news brought back by merchants who often traded with the national capital.
So since the merchants know about it, Fancheng, who owns cargo ships and often trades with Yangcheng, will not take much time to know about it.
Even if Liu Wei didn't take the initiative to pass on the news to He Huan, he would know it soon.
It's just that the Imperial City Mutiny is a big deal, two princes died, and the three princes still said such a big rebellious thing in front of everyone.
This kind of thing, He Huan, as a royal descendant, naturally has the right to know.
But looking at the current situation, the royal family doesn't seem to want to tell He Huan.
What Liu Wei is thinking about now is to tell He Huan by himself, so as to leave a good impression in front of his eyes.
Or do nothing and let the news pass slowly?
