Chapter 174: The Power of the Crossbow
"Weichen Command!"
Cui Hongdan was ordered to retreat, and then walked in with eight craftsmen, four people on each side, and carried the gold-level eight-company strong crossbow to the test area with thick wooden sticks.
It can be seen that these eight strong crossbows are extremely heavy. But this is also very normal, if it is very light, it will not withstand too much force. Not to mention the power, you will definitely not be able to shoot more than 500 steps, you must know that more than 500 steps is equivalent to a distance of about 350 meters.
Under Cui Hongdan's command, the eight craftsmen began to load the giant arrows and adjust the position. Then under the attention of Zhang Shuo, Xie An and others, it was launched. The eight giant arrows were as fast as lightning and like thunder, and only the sound of "whooshing" could be heard in the air, and the eight giant arrows were firmly nailed to the wooden wall 300 meters away.
Wang Yanlong's face was solemn, and he trotted all the way to the temporary wooden wall, and then ran to Zhang Shuo's side, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Qi Guojun, among the eight giant arrows, there are three, and the arrows have been completely nailed into the wooden wall, and the other five arrows are only less than an inch (three centimeters) compared to them!" ”
Zhang Shuo nodded, and then asked Cui Hongdan again: "Director Cui, how many centimeters is the arrow of this giant arrow?" ”
"Qi Yu Guojun, the length of the arrow cluster used in these eight crossbows is more than eight inches (about 25 centimeters), and within 500 steps, there is no reason to be spared if the enemy is not armoured. If the enemy has armor, then the bronze armor can be broken within 400 steps, the silver armor can be broken within 300 steps, and within 200 steps, this crossbow can break the protection of the gold armor! ”
Cui Hongdan said smugly, if the major cities of Qianguo can be equipped with a large number of eight-company strong crossbows, then it will be a nightmare for the invading enemy!
"Master Wang, how powerful is this eight-company strong crossbow?" Zhang Shuo turned his head and asked Wang Yanlong, who had a solemn face.
"Strong! Very strong. The last general is conceited and brave, and there are few people in the world who can be defeated, but even if he puts on the diamond-level armor against these eight strong crossbows, he can only temporarily avoid its edge. ”
Wang Yanlong had a high opinion of the Eight Consecutive Strong Crossbow, but after thinking about it for a while, he continued: "Of course, this is a dead thing after all, and the trajectory of the advance cannot be changed. Unless it is in the battle formation, the target general is parrying the opponent and cannot take care of or sense other things.
Otherwise, as long as it is a master of the innate level, he can easily sense its trajectory and avoid it in advance. If there is no way to avoid it, with the courage of the last general, you can also hard-catch this crossbow three rounds of shooting! ”
"Good!"
Zhang Shuo was very happy when he heard this. From Wang Yanlong's words, he could hear it. The other party's meaning is nothing more than that the eight-in-a-row strong crossbow has the power to threaten those low-level historical generals, but it is difficult to cause effective damage to first-class masters.
However, this is nothing, the armor above the diamond level, in the current version of the game, is basically only held by a few top famous generals. The degree of cherishing is similar to that of a first-class protected animal.
As for the problem of the dodging of the innate masters, it is even less of a problem, and it is completely possible to make up for this deficiency by increasing the number. They can dodge the shot of an eight-in-a-row crossbow, but what about dozens or hundreds? At that time, as long as you concentrate more than a hundred eight-company strong crossbows, and there will be a direct rain of arrows, I am afraid that there are not many people who can dodge, at least they must be masters of the martial arts mythological level, or warlocks with special abilities.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo, who was in a happy mood, immediately patted Cui Hongdan's shoulder and said with relief: "Director Cui, this time you invented the eight-company strong crossbow, which greatly enhanced the military strength of our country, and you should be rewarded!"
"This is all within the responsibility of the ministers, where do you dare to ask the monarch for reward." Cui Hongdan waved his hand again and again, refusing to accept Zhang Shuo's reward.
However, Cui Hongdan's push did not get Zhang Shuo's consent, he shook his head, and said solemnly: "It is your business to manufacture known instruments step by step." But if you make great progress in your original work, you deserve to be rewarded!
Since Lonely, as the king of the Qianguo, should be clear in rewards and punishments, and if you are not rewarded today, I am afraid that others will say that the rewards and punishments of my Qianguo are unknown, where will you be Lonely?
So this time Lone must be rewarded, and he must be rewarded! In addition, Cui Aiqing, you prepare in advance, the next early dynasty, you will be called by your name, and in front of the ministers, you will be praised and publicized as a labor model! At that time, you also have to stand up and publish your work report and attitude, so that the imperial court can carry out national propaganda in the future! ”
"This ...... This...... I'm afraid this doesn't match the etiquette. ”
Listening to Zhang Shuo's generous statement, Cui Hongdan didn't feel a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly. However, he is still very grateful for Zhang Shuo's attitude. As a result, his loyalty to the city has increased a little, reaching the full value of 100.
"What's this! If you do a good job, you have to be praised, and if someone is not satisfied, just stand up and compare. As long as he does a good job, Lone will not be stingy with praise and awards. ”
Zhang Shuo said, paused, and then continued: "Of course, Cui Qing should not always fight alone. If you encounter any problems, you can also discuss them with Li Cheng.
If Li was in the army, he would have been the commander of the first division by now. Lone transferred him to the Hundred Workers Division to help you, mainly because he had studied in the Mo family, and he also had a certain understanding of mechanism techniques and many instruments. At present, there is a shortage of manpower in the company, and he can help you complete various tasks and reduce your burden. In addition, you should communicate more and conduct technical exchanges, and give Li Yun a space and time to create! ”
"Weichen respectfully obeys the order of the monarch, and in the future, the minister will negotiate with Li to help him make a breakthrough and improve in his skills."
Cui Hongdan didn't defend anything, but nodded sincerely and expressed his attitude.
Zhang Shuo was very satisfied with Cui Hongdan's pragmatic attitude, and immediately announced that he would reward Cui Hongdan with 100 taels of gold and 10 acres of fertile land. In addition, the rest of the 100 Gong Division also had awards, Li Yun was engaged in the 100 Gong Division, and Cui Hongdan's right-hand man won a reward of 20 taels of gold. The rest of the craftsmen are 1 tael of silver each, don't underestimate this 1 tael of silver, it is equivalent to 1,000 copper coins, under normal circumstances, it is enough for the craftsman himself for a month's expenses.
Thanks to the unprecedented craftsman official policy, craftsmen from all over Xuzhou, under the guidance of many players who are responsible for publicity, have converged towards Qianguo, and there are currently 12,862 NPC craftsmen registered in Qianguo! Among them, there are 3,936 people working in the 100 Gong Division. One tael of silver per person, which is enough for 3936 taels, Zhang Shuo wants to give it a little higher, but the economic situation of Qianguo is really not allowed!
Subsequently, Zhang Shuo and Xie An made some suggestions and guidance on the architectural layout and staffing of the Hundred Industries Division, and left the Hundred Industries Division under the congratulations of Cui Hongdan and Li Yun.
