Chapter 80: Don't be a child
Sun Chi couldn't bear to see the little niece arguing with reason, so he patiently explained to Xiao Yuan: "What you said won't work." I've never heard of a repeating crossbow that can hit ten arrows in one hit. ”
"Not now, we can make it ourselves!"
Xiao Yuan tugged at Sun Chi's sleeve and coquettishly said: "Uncle, you are the best, you can make a jumping wooden rabbit, why is it difficult to have a repeating crossbow with ten shots?" As long as my uncle is willing to study it, he will definitely be able to make it. ”
The little girl thought too simply, Sun Chi shook her head: "It won't work." ”
"First of all, archery should be aimed at the target, and ten arrows should be fired at the same time with one blow, and the enemy must be lined up, otherwise it will cause great waste."
"Secondly, firing ten arrows at the same time with a crossbow is to divide the power of a crossbow machine into ten equal parts. In this way, how far can an arrow be fired, and can it still kill people? ”
"Finally, the crossbow machine you mentioned, I thought about it, it must be bulky, difficult to carry, and not suitable for southern and northern wars at all."
Xiao Yuan pouted: "Uncle doesn't try it, how do you know that it won't work." The crossbow machine is not a bed crossbow or a car crossbow, but can be transformed into a weapon suitable for individual combat. Or siege heavy weapons. If you want to increase the range and lethality, make the arrows shorter and use iron to make the arrows. ”
The others didn't understand it, and thought that the child was telling a joke, so they laughed it off.
Only Sun Chi seemed to have grabbed something from Xiao Yuan's good words.
He said blankly: "Arrows made of iron can indeed penetrate armor......
"Little general, this is impossible!" Lao Hai said happily, "Iron is made of arrows, how can bamboo be light?" If this iron arrow flies out, it must not have flown far before it lands. ”
"No, no, no," Sun Chi muttered in a low voice, "the size of the arrow is shortened, and the force of the crossbow machine increases...... It's possible......"
Lao Hai couldn't understand what the little general was saying, the little general had read books and was a Confucian general, different from them. He still guessed with Lao Shi and a few people, and drank more happily.
Dayan has been peaceful for so many years, where is it easy to start a war again. The little general pondered that these things were just playing with Her Royal Highness the princess.
Xiao Yuan looked at Sun Chi's expression, and already knew that Sun Chi must have figured it out.
"Uncle, are you going to build a crossbow?"
Sun Chi's train of thought was interrupted, he lowered his head to meet the girl's starry eyes, and smiled: "When I go back, I'll think about it." Okay, where did you see all this weird stuff? I haven't heard of Zhuge crossbows, car crossbows, or bed crossbows. ”
Xiao Yuanhao sacrificed the cauldron of the third son, Xiao Jianshi: "I saw it from the third brother's book. ”
Sun Chi asked: "What kind of book is it, do you remember?" I'll go back and buy a copy and see what it says in the book. ”
Xiao Yuan shook his head honestly: "The third brother's words were lost after reading the book, I can't remember." However, uncle, if you don't understand anything, I'll tell you. ”
Xiao Yuan liked to read martial arts novels when he was a student, and he was particularly interested in the weapons in the books, especially this Zhuge crossbow. At that time, I also went to check the information. It's a pity that the Zhuge repeater has been lost, and I can't see its true face.
But thanks to Xiao Yuanhao's unforgettable super memory, she still remembers the various Zhuge crossbow drawings drawn by later generations.
She is not an inventor and does not know how to make weapons, but she can draw pictures for Sun Chi's reference.
If Sun Chi could make the Zhuge Repeater, no one would dare to laugh at him for having crippled legs in the future.
Sun Chi was a little disappointed, he didn't believe that the little girl would explain the matter, but he took the matter of the repeating crossbow to heart.
So much so that the next morning, when Xiao Yuan put a stack of drawings in front of him, Sun Chi was still a little relieved.
"What is this?"
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but boast to himself: "This is the picture I drew based on the repeater described in the book. ”
Qi Yuanniang and Haitang set up breakfast together, and when they heard this, they smiled and said, "Lang Jun, what did Ah Hao paint for you?" I can see that her paintings are not far behind the painters. ”
After waiting for a long time, she didn't see Sun Chi responding, and as soon as Qi Yuanniang turned around, she saw Sun Chi frowning, staring at the drawings in his hand as if he had settled down.
"Lang Jun, what are you looking at?"
Qi Yuanniang couldn't understand what was drawn on this drawing, and thought that Xiao Yuan had come up with something interesting, so she asked Sun Chi to make it for her to play, so she urged Sun Chi: "Lang Jun will eat first." It's not too late to go back and do this. ”
Sun Chi's face was solemn, and he handed the drawings to Qi Yuanniang: "Yuanniang, you help me collect them first." This drawing is very important, don't lose it, or let anyone else see it. ”
Qi Yuanniang's heart jumped, and she didn't ask about the drawings anymore, and turned around to collect the drawings.
"Okay, you remember, from now on, you are not allowed to draw this drawing to others. Don't let anyone know that you're going to draw these drawings. It is not allowed to tell anyone about Zhuge Lian's crossbow, not even the third son. ”
Sun Chi probably misunderstood, thinking that Xiao Yuan was good and now he and the third son, Xiao Jianshi, had reached the point where he had nothing to say.
"Uncle reads the drawings, will he make a repeating crossbow?"
Sun Chi smiled: "What are you anxious about?" Don't worry, with the picture you drawn, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll definitely make the kind of crossbow machine that fires ten arrows in a row. ”
Xiao Yuanhao is very confident in Sun Chi, she doesn't know how smart Sun Chi was when he was healthy and healthy, but I have heard that Sun Chi used to have the title of God of War, and he was a person who dared to break through thousands of enemies single-handedly.
Besides, Sun Chi can also make all kinds of exquisite mechanisms, with the assistance of the drawings she draws, even if he can't restore the Zhuge repeater, but it shouldn't be too difficult to make a similar repeating crossbow.
"There's no rush ahead of time." Sun Chi changed his words and said, "You told me yesterday that you want to build a dam on the Lanjiang River, and you told me about it after breakfast, what you think in your heart." ”
Sun Chi no longer dared to treat Xiao Yuanhao as a little girl who didn't understand anything.
He even felt that there was some truth in the outside world that Xiao Yuan was a Wenqu star.
Childish, proposing a flood lake is already shocking, and now he has drawn a repeating crossbow, which is not something that the gods can't say.
With the repeating crossbow in front of him, Sun Chi was very interested in Xiao Yuan's good dam, this is not a child playing a game, this is a fairy controlling the water.
"It's going to be hard." Xiao Yuanhao discussed with Sun Chi seriously, "Uncle, I came to see the water of the Lanjiang River this time, just to build a dam suitable for the Lanjiang River according to the topographical characteristics and water quality of the Lanjiang River. I only walked so far yesterday, and I didn't understand the characteristics of Lanjiang at all. ”
"What? Do you mean you're going to Lanjiang today? ”
Qi Yuanniang had already returned, and she glared at Sun Chi: "Lang Jun, what did you promise me yesterday?" Don't take Ah Hao to play in the water! ”
"Uncle, I'm not playing in the water, I'm going to watch the water!"
Qi Yuanniang smiled "poof": "You are a child, and you still know how to watch the water." Don't talk to me, you're going to play in the water, I don't depend on you. Eat quickly, run out, and play with the cat by yourself. ”
