169 Crossbow Bolts
When walking through the commercial street, Lin Yan found that there were more people, and there were few people on the road when he came, and he could see many people walking around the street, coming in and out of the shops on both sides.
It was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and when it was time for the people who were working everywhere to eat, the shopping street suddenly became lively.
Lin Yan hurriedly walked by, and when the people she met saw her and greeted her, she smiled and said that she was in a hurry to go to the laboratory.
When he arrived at Maomu's office, he was assembling the crossbow arrows.
"Listen to your aunt, the crossbow arrow is ready, let me give it a try."
Mao Mu saw that it was Lin Yan and said with a smile: "It's done." Let's go for an interview. ”
"Okay. Where to? ”
"Go to Pika Plain, there are many pikas and birds over there, just practice your hands." As he spoke, Mao Mu took out the two crossbow arrows that had been made and handed them to Lin Yan for her to see.
After taking the crossbow arrow, Lin Yan pulled it away hard, which was easier than a bow and arrow, "How far is the range?" ”
"More than a hundred meters. Aiming is easier than a bow and arrow, and the requirements for the shooter are much lower. ”
"The lethality of this arrow, aimed at the vital point of a sheep, can it kill with one blow?"
"It should work. Crossbow arrows are more lethal, and as long as you aim at them, you can achieve your goal. ”
Mao Mu is very confident in the crossbow arrow, "I have personally shot pika, and compared it with a bow and arrow, the effect is better. ”
"Didn't the people from the military department look for you?" Lin Yan asked this because when the weapons research office was set up, the military department strongly agreed with it and paid special attention to this matter.
"I found it, I haven't shown it to them yet. I want to make a few more crossbow arrows, compare them and see if there are any improvements and improvements, and then hand them over to the military department after they are confirmed. ”
"You're thinking so well. Let's go and test the power of the crossbow arrows. ”
Walk west along the street to the end of the dirt road that leads to Pika Plain, which is all farmland, and there is a road built every other to make it easier for people to harvest crops from the fields.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he came to a dense forest, and Mao Mu said, "Let's go here, there are a lot of pikas and birds in this area, let's go in." ”
Looking at Lin Yan's height, as soon as he reached his waist, Mao Mu hesitated: "I'll carry you on my back." ”
"No, I don't. I can walk on my own. ”
Lin Yan waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up, she was no longer a milk doll, she could run and jump, and it was no problem to go in by herself.
The two crept through the dense forest, and after a while, they heard movement and stopped to observe carefully.
Lin Yan pointed to the front left and whispered, "There, let's lean over with a light voice." ”
In fact, the sound was at least fifty meters away from them, but both of them had good ears to detect it.
When they got closer, they saw three fat pikas, grazing.
Finding a good angle, Lin Yan pulled out the crossbow arrow, aimed at a pika and let go, the arrow brought a burst of wind and left quickly.
However, in a few seconds, the fat pika fell to the ground, and the whole process was clean.
Mao Mu was not far behind, and in one go, the two of them shot different pikas with their front and back feet.
The remaining pika, sensing the danger, had just run a few meters away when he was also shot.
Lin Yan looked at Mao Mu appreciatively, "Yes, I can shoot two arrows in such a short period of time, and I didn't let a pika escape, and my reflexes are very good." ”
"When you grow up, you can do it with more practice."
"Don't be modest. The lethality of this crossbow bolt is okay, have you ever thought about making a bigger one, if only it could kill a cow? ”
"I've thought about it, in fact, the principle is the same, and you can do it by improving the materials and crossbow arms, crossbow strings, etc. I'm getting ready to make a variety of ranges. ”
"Yes, very promising. Black Earth will be very satisfied with the crossbow bolts and your planning. Let's go, take the pika, let's go to the military headquarters. ”
The improvement of weapons is most beneficial to the personnel of the military department and can greatly enhance their actual combat capability.
Hei Tu and Yun Qing were discussing things, and when they saw Lin Yan and Mao Mulai, they all stared at the crossbow arrows in their hands.
Heitu was surprised: "This is a new bow and arrow?" ”
Lin Yan said with a smile: "This is called a crossbow arrow, it is made of Mao Mu, let him tell you about it." ”
Yun Qing took the crossbow arrow from Lin Yan's hand and followed Mao Mu's demonstration to do it, and when Mao Mu finished speaking, she walked out of the house and shot an arrow at the tree in the distance.
The distance between the tree was about one hundred and fifty meters, and the arrow was extremely fast, and it pierced into the trunk steadily, and the eyes of Yun Qing and the black earth widened.
Although Mao Mu was shocked when he heard him, he felt far less shocked than seeing the effect of the crossbow arrows with his own eyes.
Heitu said happily, "Let me try." ”
Mao Mu handed him the crossbow arrow in his hand, Hei Tu just watched the demonstration, got started quickly, and quickly mastered the essentials, and shot an arrow, the effect was comparable to Yun Qing's.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the frenzy in each other's eyes.
Hei Tu looked at Mao Mu, "Crossbow arrows are better than bows and arrows, and if the military department is equipped with it, its strength will be greatly increased." We're going to ask for a hundred bolts, when will you be able to make them? ”
"A hundred?" Mao Mu was taken aback, "I can't do it alone, I did it for more than half a year, and I only made two handfuls." ”
"People are not the problem, what do you need to prepare, let's figure it out." Yun Qing hit the nail on the head, "You just need to instruct people to do it." ”
"Yes, you are a talent, how can you spend your time and energy here." Hei Tu also said, "You list all the people and materials you need, and we will solve them." ”
Lin Yan reminded with a smile, "The crossbow arrow is the research result of Maomu, and it is also from the laboratory, if you want to use the technology, you have to pay for it." ”
Now there are more and more departments, and the accounts between them must be recorded clearly, and they cannot be used as soon as they are said.
As the person in charge of the laboratory, Lin Yan has the responsibility to increase the income of the laboratory.
Heitu smiled: "I haven't forgotten, the process can be followed as it should go, and it will not be used in vain." I will apply to the arbitral tribunal as soon as possible and proceed to arrange this matter immediately. We still have to work hard and give us good technical guidance. ”
The crossbow bolts also need to be made by the smelter and the carpenter, and it is not possible for one department to complete it independently, and the coordination of the black soil is understood.
Lin Yan smiled more satisfied when he saw the black soil on the road, and pointed to the pika on the side, "This is the pika we hunted when we just tried the crossbow arrow, leave one for you." I'll leave you a crossbow arrow, and I'll discuss with Mao Mu at what price to sell the technology to the military department. ”
"Okay, you guys go get busy. However, don't ask for too much money, the military department has no money. "Black soil is busy reminding.
Yun Qing also said: "It's all for the development and growth of Sun City, give a friendly price." ”
The annual budget of the military department is not enough, and there is not much that can be invested in the production of crossbow arrows.
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "Definitely not too much, I understand, everyone works hard for one goal." I don't have any money in finance. ”
As important managers, several people knew that Sun City's expenses were too high, and the finance department was very strict in approving them.
