Chapter Eighty-Five: A Blockbuster
"Mianfu, Mianfu, why are you lying on the ground?"
When Situ Che went to sleep in Fu's room early in the morning, he found him lying on the ground unconscious, so he hurriedly stepped forward to wake him up.
Mian Fu shook his drowsy head and muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?" ”
He remembered what he had said to Reimi Hime last night.
"It's not good, Situ Che, hurry up, let's go to Situ Mansion........"
Ji Lianmei stood on the cliff of the mountain behind Situ Mansion, feeling the warmth of the flowing clouds, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in her heart.
I've been away for so long, and I don't know how Bai Yucheng is doing now........
Ji Lianmei touched her stomach and felt the slight volley. This little life that held him and her together made her feel at ease.
When I met you, I am no longer alone in this world........
"Childe, please follow me to the Elders' Pavilion." The maidservant of Situ Mansion walked up to Ji Lianmei's side and said respectfully.
"Okay, I got it."
When Ji Lianmei came to the elders' pavilion, she saw Mrs. Situ sitting in the hall and said to her:
"The weapon that Chu Gongzi has studied is indeed commendable, but dare to ask Chu Gongzi, can this weapon be in kind?"
"Back to the old lady, no."
Old Lady Situ nodded slightly and said, "Since this weapon has no physical object, then we can't see its power with our own eyes. If Gongzi Chu can put the physical artillery in front of us within three days, and the result can satisfy us, our Situ Mansion can lend you forty percent of the troops, how about it? ”
It is impossible to make a physical artillery in three days, and Ji Lianmei does not have the skills and manpower to complete it. However, the temptation of forty percent of the army is too great.......
At the beginning, Mian Fu estimated that 30% of Situ Mansion's troops were just able to resist Gongzi Yuxin's Imperial Forest Army, but now if they can borrow 40% of their troops, plus the artillery that can fight with 100 enemies, they will definitely win this battle.
Now, I can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.......
"Yes, old lady, in three days, I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer."
"Come on, prepare a room and manpower for Gongzi Chu." Old Lady Situ commanded.
The maidservant led Ji Lianmei to the west wing of the backyard.
The design of the Situ Mansion wing room is also decent, with vermilion tables, chairs and bed frames everywhere, and the feeling of Chinese style is very strong.
"You guys go out, I don't like to be disturbed when I'm researching." Ji Lianmei cleared her throat and suppressed her voice to imitate the male voice.
The two maidservants nodded and quietly withdrew.
When they were far away, and there was no one else around, Ji Lianmei took out the small square box with confidence.
I don't know if this thing has a way to turn drawings into real things........
"Hello, master, is there anything I can help me with?"
"Siri, can you turn the blueprints of the artillery into real life?"
"Yes........ However, you'll need to put in the following materials in order to craft ......."
A list appeared on the blue light curtain.
"300 pounds of copper or iron, 150 pounds of gunpowder, 10 pieces of wood........."
Although the amount of these materials is very large, with the power of Situ Fu, these materials are found
It shouldn't be difficult, as for gunpowder, she has roughly mastered some production methods.
"Master, let me remind you that the time and space you are in now is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and copper has not been fully exploited, and the price is comparable to gold. And iron raw materials are basically used by ordinary people to make agricultural tools, so the materials are scarce........"
"What?"
Ji Lianmei bit her fingers in annoyance. It is no longer possible to make barrels out of copper, but if you want to buy iron at the bazaar, you will probably spend a lot of money. But there are no raw materials, let alone a cannon barrel, and even cannonballs can't be made.......
If you want to find a mine, the nearest iron mine is on the west bank of Luoyang, and it will take at least one day and one night to go back and forth.
Time was pressing, and Bai Yucheng stayed in the palace for a quarter of an hour, the more her heart could not settle down.
Three days is too long, you must think of a way as soon as possible......
Just when Ji Lianmei was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, two people suddenly broke in at the door.
Ji Lianmei forcibly closed the USB flash drive, vigilantly pulled out the long sword she was carrying, and looked at it, it turned out that these two uninvited guests were actually Mian Fu and Situ Che.
"Ji Lianmei, you're too messy. What are you doing here? Come back with us. Mian Fu grabbed Ji Lianmei's wrist with a handful of eyes, panting, "Don't you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us outside?" Dare to run out without permission. ”
Since Ji Lianmei disappeared, he didn't think about tea and dinner all day and night, for fear that something would happen to her. It's a strange feeling.
Ji Lianmei broke free of Mianfu's hand and said, "I'm not leaving, Old Madam Situ finally agreed to be willing to lend us forty percent of the troops, I can't just leave......."
"What do you say? Is Situ Fu willing to borrow troops? ”
"Yes, it's just that they want me to make this weapon in three days before they agree to borrow it."
Mianfu took the drawing from Ji Lianmei's hand, and after a cursory glance, his brows furrowed suddenly.
"It's a good idea, but it's an impossible task. The price of bronze is comparable to gold, and even with iron, our military budget will not be enough for this artillery......"
"What can I do....... Without Situ Mansion's support, what would Bai Yucheng do......." Ji Lianmei suddenly felt very helpless.
I finally thought of a way to save you, but I couldn't put it into action........ I had been sheltered under your wing before, and now that I am away from you, I realize that I am so useless.
I can't hold it anymore........
Mian Fu looked at Ji Lianmei's weak and helpless figure, her heart tightened, and she squatted down to comfort her and said:
"Don't be discouraged, I think I have a way."
"Really?"
Mian Fu looked at the drawing carefully, and suddenly said to Situ Che as if he was inspired: "Situ Che, please bring me a pen and paper." ”
Situ Che nodded and went.
"Mr. Mianfu, what can you do?" Ji Lianmei asked curiously.
"You'll find out in a moment."
After a quarter of an hour, Mianfu handed two delicate drawings to Mrs. Situ.
"Mianfu Gongzi, why did you change the drawings temporarily?" Old Mrs. Situ asked puzzled.
"Old lady, forgive me for being abrupt, although the previous artillery idea was good, it did not take into account the cost, and it was difficult to implement, so I temporarily changed the drawings and asked the old lady to pass
Eye. Mian Fu stepped forward and said respectfully.
She carefully studied the drawings and felt that this weapon was not as lethal as artillery, but it did save money. So she nodded and agreed:
"Just do what you do........."
At night, the three of them sit around a small square table, with candles reflected on the mottled walls.
"To make these two weapons into real things, we have to find a lot of planks, and we have two days to go, so we should be in time." Mianfu pointed to the drawings and continued,
"This one, it's a trebuchet. I wanted to use manpower to pull the tips of the guns attached to the crossbars at a distance from the catapults. After that, the gun tips were erected on a wooden frame, one end of which was tied with a rope to the holster containing the stone projectile, and the other end was tied with many ropes to facilitate human pulling. The maximum number of shoots is 13, and a maximum of 500 people are required to cast them. ”
"As for this, I haven't figured out the name yet. It is made with a crossbow bolt design and should have a range of about 500 meters, both of which can be used for ranged attacks. ”
Ji Lianmei took the drawings and was about to take a closer look, but the pendant on her chest suddenly flashed with a bright blue light, and finally, the blue light screen presented the three-dimensional physical model in front of everyone, and a clear female voice clearly introduced:
"Catapult, the best siege weapon in the era of cold weapons. Boulders can be thrown into enemy walls and castles, causing damage. A trebuchet, also known as a cannon, can throw one or more objects, which can be boulders or gunpowder weapons, or even poison and corpses. ”
"The bed crossbow often requires dozens of people to turn the axle before it can be opened, and the range can reach more than 500 meters. On the eve of the Yuanyuan Alliance, the Khitan general Xiao Tzu Rin was killed by a bed crossbow arrow, which greatly demoralized the Khitan. ”
Mian Fu looked at the suddenly flashing light curtain in surprise, and was speechless in shock, even Situ Che's eyes widened rarely.
"Miss Ji Lianmei, this is ........"
"It's technology from the future. Well, it can make what we want, but we have to prepare the materials. ”
"Great, with this thing, we can save at least a day."
Mianfu was obviously very interested in the future of technology, and almost the whole person was about to lie on the light curtain, but he kept his distance from it with respect and fear.
It was the first time that Ji Lianmei saw that Mianfu was so obsessed with one thing, so she deliberately said: "Mr. Mianfu, Situ and I went out to find wood, you can study it here first." ”
Mian Fu nodded without looking back, and let them go.
"What are you calling me out for?" Situ Che asked with a cold face.
I didn't expect to be seen by him so soon.......
"Situ, what happened when you and Mr. Mianfu went to Xianbei? Now the war is coming, but you seem to be very absent-minded. ”
Ji Lianmei found that whether it was discussing the drawings or making strategic plans, Situ Che was always in a daze, his eyes were distant and sad.
Something related to Bai Yucheng, he has never been so powerless.
"It's none of your business."
"How could it be that it has nothing to do with me! The person I love is now locked up next to a hungry wolf, and his life and death are unknown. And the most important general under his command deserted at such a critical moment, how can you let me not worry? Situ, what happened to you? ”
Situ Che stopped, turned around, and said to Ji Lianmei, "Okay, I'll tell you ........."
