Chapter 90: The Power of Crossbow Arrows
Fang Guang crossed over, and naturally knew that the sharpest blade in the world should be gunpowder.
But first, it was not easy to collect gunpowder, and the smelting technology of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not carry too sharp firearms.
And the earth grenade like Fuhuo Thunder, in Fang Guang's heart, was worse than the crossbow that appeared in the Song Dynasty.
The Song people were weak in martial arts, but they were forced to specialize in crossbow arrows on top of Liaojin and Mongolian iron horses.
Zhuge Liang, don't you want to compete with him for a while? Fang Guang wanted to see if it was the prime minister's repeating crossbow, or the giant bed crossbow that he could penetrate through Baniu, or the divine arm crossbow that was strong in one hand!
Smelting technology is temporarily subject to ore and money, and Fang Guang can still make a crude version of the crossbow.
What's more critical is that since the mass production of crossbow arrows in the Qin Dynasty, it was not until this time in Dongjun that crossbow arrows were standardized and manufactured again.
The weapons workshop belonging to the Tianzi Department is not far from the paper mill, Fang Guang and his party rushed here, and they were still hundreds of steps away from the workshop, and they heard the sound of clanging iron in the workshop.
Fang Guang took the lead and strode into the workshop, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Han Hao's face full of anger, and in front of him, several Dong'a blacksmiths knelt on the ground, saying what the strokes were explaining.
"Can't you do what Mr. Datong wants? The craftsmen are different, and the things they make are hundreds of millimeters different? ”
"This, this workshop is the brainchild of adults, on the same day, to Er, wait to see the construction drawings, isn't everyone patting their chests, saying that this thing is safe?"
"What's the matter, the grain and rice of my government have been moved home, and now I can't do it, and I dare to cheat even the money of the government?"
Han Hao clenched his fists, his voice was like thunder, and the dozens of blacksmiths kneeling on the ground, one of the most daring, couldn't help but explain out loud.
"My lord, it's not that we don't do our best, my lord wants all the same parts, but my fire head will not be the same temperature every time, and when it is bent, the curvature is different."
"This thing, compared to the giant to make the quyuan plow, is more complicated, a total of forty-three parts, made, my king's beard, fight for a few hours, can not be put together."
"The grain and rice will be returned to the adults, and we will admit the punishment, if this thing is not done, it will not work."
The bold blacksmith who spoke, like the head of all blacksmiths, said something that immediately resonated with his companions,
"Ahem"
Fang Guang coughed lightly twice, and slowly walked in with Xu Shu and the students of the Tianzi Department.
Although he was young, in Dong'a, but because of the cylinder car, the plow, quite respected by the people, seeing that Lord Fang came, the blacksmiths bowed their heads together, and no one dared to say more.
"What? I can't do it, too, it's hard to quench this pig iron, and it's hard to beat a knife, so it's too simple for me to make a crossbow! ”
Fang Guang smiled bitterly, looked at the weapons workshop, and shook his head lightly as there were bed crossbow parts piled up on the ground.
Fang Guang doesn't need to measure the size, sweep it away at a glance, the tolerances of these parts are all big and scary, it seems that the foundation is not solid, the high-end is not stable, it is the end of the Han Dynasty, and the reason is the same.
"My lord, we have done our best, this big thing can barely get out, and the small one, just to make molds, has wasted countless iron materials, it's too difficult!"
It was still the head of the blacksmith, Wang Huzi, who had the courage to explain, and Fang Guang nodded lightly.
From a technological point of view, it is true that the portable divine arm crossbow is more difficult than the bed crossbow.
"Do it slowly, when I find out the Yanzhou iron mine, coal mine, quenching iron with a blast furnace, it will not be difficult for the god arm bow!"
"It's a little worse, it's not that it can't be used at all, Yuan Zhi, what are you doing in a daze, come and help me, there are more than a dozen sets of parts, pick out a few sets that can always be used."
Fang Guang weighed the parts in his hand, frowned and said slowly.
He drew two pages of diagrams, like a cow dismantling a cow, and the structure of the bed crossbow was already clear to him.
The principal greeted, and Xu Shu rushed to Fang Guang's side with dozens of students at once.
Following Fang Guang's order, everyone placed the crossbow machine on the base first, and the bed crossbow was divided into several grades, which were distinguished by pulling force.
What Fang Guang made was a mediocre four-bow crossbow, although it did not have the power of the eight-bull crossbow, this crossbow was set on the head of the city, and the range power was far more than that of the bow and crossbow used by the Han army.
Fang Guang weighed the parts in his hand, and his movements were familiar and fast, as if he knew how to make a living as a blacksmith when he was in the Yellow Turban Army.
"This thing is embedded in the base, be careful, it must be tightly fitted."
"The idea of the winch must be strict, otherwise the tendon tension is insufficient, and the range will be less than 100 steps!"
"The teeth of the machine must be firm, and if you can't buckle the center of the crossbow machine, it will hurt people!"
Fang Guangkou said that the hand-stroked, Cangting students, are all children of farmers, and they have been familiar with the work since childhood. Wherever Mr. Datong pointed, the students ran to get the parts that Mr. Datong liked.
However, it took an hour and a half for the forty-three parts, the Dongjun County Order, and the sweat on the forehead of the busy and tired people to piece together the first bed crossbow between heaven and earth.
Xu Shu stood beside Fang Guang, watching everyone do something, usually for the first time, he couldn't help anything.
The longer he followed Fang Guang's side, the more he felt that the county order born from the Yellow Turban Captain was unfathomable!
Fang Guang has a wide pattern, and it is the common people in the world, subtle and profound, and all kinds of strange arrows.
In the bow and arrow workshop, there is a half-human high bed crossbow, which is placed in the middle of the workshop school.
There are two different kinds of arrows, one is about seven feet long, as tall as ordinary people, and the other is more than two feet long, with more than 20 arrows placed in one place, and the arrows are shining with a faint and cold light.
"Datong, this is the bed crossbow, although it looks fierce, but it's too bulky, right?"
"When the battle is coming, the situation is changing rapidly, where can this thing keep up with the army?"
Tai Shi Ci looked at the huge object in front of him, and couldn't help but touch it lightly with his hand, and in the distance, several Cangting students were placing straw men dressed in cowhides, testing the power of the bed crossbow.
"Ziyi, this thing is for the purpose of placing the city head to defend the city, so you don't have to follow the army!"
"This Dong'e City, so many workshops, so many students, are all my hard work, if you don't guard it strictly, where can I feel at ease?"
"Yuan Zhi, let them guard the target farther away, this long arrow can pierce the wall and pierce the wall, just two hundred steps, who can't be seen?"
"Four hundred steps, all four hundred steps, let others see it, I thought that we were wide, and I made a waste crossbow!"
When the Dongjun Commander spoke, he unconsciously brought the tone of later film and television works.
When Xu Shu heard the four hundred steps, he gasped, and hurriedly gestured to the students to move the straw man farther away.
Everyone was busy, and they carried the straw man to the farthest part of the school yard, clinging to the earthen wall.
Fang Guang knew that the top-level eight-bull crossbow equipped by the Song army could shoot nearly six hundred steps.
His four-bow crossbow is subject to craftsmanship, and the cow tendon is not the best, which is about 450 paces range.
A county guard, together with Xu Shu, personally put the arrow in the card slot.
Tai Shi Ci pulled the winch, and the sound of da-da-da, and the breathing of everyone who listened to it, became heavy together.
"Put!"
With Fang Guang's snort, a thick crossbow shot out like a meteor, piercing through the cowhide on the straw man's body and piercing half an inch into the earthen wall.
The body of the arrow trembles and makes a buzzing sound, which makes people's hearts palpitate when they hear it!
