Chapter 156: The Disadvantages of the Great Slingshot

In other words, Liu Hou finished talking about the advantages of the big slingshot, and then began to talk about its disadvantages. As mentioned last time, Liu Hou commented on the first shortcoming of the large slingshot, which is also its most fatal shortcoming, that is, the range is too short, and then he began to comment on the second shortcoming:

"The second disadvantage is that its accuracy is also very poor, so it is impossible to achieve precise strikes by pulling by human hands, not to mention how much to the left or how far to the right, even if you want to hit a little farther or closer, it is difficult to master."

The shortcomings mentioned by Liu Hou are obvious, the cannon can be relatively accurate when adjusting the shooting of Zhuyuan, and the angle on the gun mount is adjusted by the precise gears, and the cannon will be fixed in a good position after adjustment, and it will not move when firing. Even if it is a rocket launcher, there is a simple gun mount to adjust the firing angle, so there is still a certain accuracy.

However, this large slingshot does not have any aiming device at all, and the angle of launch is completely determined by the pull of these ten people, and it is difficult to achieve unified action when there are many people, so that even if someone comes out and is specifically responsible for aiming, it is difficult to command them to pull the angle into place.

In addition, even if the aim is good and the launch angle is adjusted, but ten people pull the two springs together, will they continue to move their positions before launching? It's really hard to say. I'm sure you've heard of it even if you haven't played Pen Fairy.

When playing with the pen fairy, it is generally necessary for two or three people to hold the pen together to play, why? Because each of these two or three people has different ideas, and each person has a different direction of force, in this way, the pen will move in the direction of the combined force of several people under the action of several people's different directions of force, so that the things that are written are strange, and these things often do not appear according to someone's mind.

Similar games include Chopsticks Immortal and Saucer Immortal, which are not new modern games, but are variants or simplified versions of one of China's oldest witchcrafts, Fu Ping. Two or three people can't grasp the direction when they work together, but what about ten people?

Ten people have ten kinds of thoughts, and each person's direction of force is different, and it is impossible to maintain a steady dìng for a long time. Therefore, even if this large slingshot is aimed, it is likely to move its direction very quickly.

In other words, it is much more difficult to target a target than it is to play Angry Birds, and the best place to use it is to face a dense camp of enemies and strike them indiscriminately. Because of the disadvantage of the large slingshot, the third disadvantage is introduced:

"I think there is a third drawback, which is that this large slingshot is a waste of ammunition, because it cannot carry out precise strikes, but can only use covered strikes, which requires the use of a large number of explosive packs. This will inevitably put a lot of pressure on our logistics. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, but this kind of explosives package is very easy to produce, as for transportation, it can be transported from Chengdu to Jingzhou by boat, and then transferred to horse-drawn carts and ox carts to go north in Jingzhou, so it should not be difficult to transport." Huang Yueying said.

"The shipping is really good, but we don't have many horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, mainly cows, horses, and donkeys, which are very difficult for us to get. In addition, to do these things, you have to have people's strength, where can I go to recruit so many people's strong? Liu Hou saw that Huang Yueying looked like she was standing and talking without back pain, and couldn't help but be angry and funny.

"This concubine doesn't know, the concubine is only responsible for developing weapons, as for how to use it, that's a matter for His Majesty, or you can ask the concubine's husband and ask him, let him think of a way, maybe he has a way to solve it." Huang Yueying didn't care about Liu Hou's dissatisfaction at all, and directly ignored the problem.

Liu Hou couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he saw that she looked like a scoundrel who didn't care about herself. This is really asking Yu Blind. Huang Yueying is a nerd who only knows how to study institutions all day long, and she doesn't listen to things outside the window, how can she understand if you ask her how to solve such political affairs as logistical pressure?

Liu Hou had no choice but to put down this question and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this problem for now, these big slingshots will be temporarily used in the army, I don't know how many such big slingshots Mrs. Huang brought this time?" ”

"A thousand sets." Huang Yueying said. Hearing her answer, Liu Hou was a little excited, a thousand sets, this is equivalent to a thousand cannons, and the picture of a thousand cannons finally has a chance to see.

"Good, good, good!" Liu Hou said excitedly, "These thousand sets of large slingshots will surely become a nightmare for the # army of the Wei State."

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks the name of the big slingshot is too ugly, so it's better to give them a more powerful name." It was Zhou Xue who came to see the excitement instead of Huang Yueying who said this.

"Hmm...... Okay, a majestic name, huh...... What's it called? Why don't you just call it 'Angry Birds'? Liu Hou thought about it for a while.

"Uh...... What does 'Angry Birds' mean? Why is it called that? Huang Yueying asked puzzled. She also had a question in her heart: "Where is this name mighty?" Where is the majesty?

"Oh, this, this, this 'Angry Birds', that is, it means ......" Liu Hou really couldn't make it up, so he had to swallow and spit out.

"I wanted to make this explosive bag in the shape of a bird, and when they were thrown out, they flew in the air like a small bird, and finally exploded with a 'boom', and the explosive bag exploded to pieces, like an angry bird, and exploded into feathers."

"Your Majesty, the concubines do not approve of making the explosives package in the shape of a bird, because this will increase the difficulty of processing and will inevitably reduce the yield; Second, the painstaking efforts to make those useless accessories, such as the wings of a bird, will also increase the wind resistance, making the explosive bag fly slower and shorter distance. It can be seen that this is a foolish design solution. ”

Hearing Huang Yueying's very unceremonious remarks, Liu Hou could only continue to smile bitterly, didn't he just say it casually, do you need to be so serious? Also, I'm an emperor anyway, is it really appropriate for you to say 'this is a stupid design solution' so ruthlessly?

Does your mom know you do this? If you don't pat the emperor's ass, even if you come, and say that the emperor is not, aren't you afraid that my dragon face will be angry and punish your nine clans?

Although Liu Hou felt that Huang Yueying was telling the truth, why did he sound so harsh? It seems that he is also a layman, he likes to listen to good things, and he doesn't like to listen to ugly words. No wonder he knew that the little eunuch Huang Hao was not a good person, so in the end he left him to continue to hold important positions in the palace, instead of disposing of him early.

"This ...... Mrs. Zhuge , I didn't plan to change the explosives bag to the shape of a winged bird, I wanted to print a bird's pattern on the linen on the surface of the explosives bag, so that it would not waste too much production power and would not affect the aerodynamics of the explosives package. Liu Hou hurriedly changed his words and explained.
