Chapter 10 Ballistae of all kinds
There is a watch at 8 o'clock in the evening, thank you for your support in recommending the collection of monthly passes......
Lao Wang said disdainfully: "This is your own factory, isn't it at your disposal?"
Wen Fei listened to it, but he really smiled bitterly. In fact, most of the business of this factory is his own. For example, the weapons and armor made for his subordinates, although they are all cost prices and labor costs, but this is still too much financial pressure on his Wenda Heavenly Master!
"Don't want this kind of look! How much do you make it?, can the bear child wear it?" Wen Fei asked again.
"It must not be able to wear it, after this armor is made, it will be at least more than a hundred catties. It's just a decoration!"
Wen Fei said: "I don't want to be so heavy, I want to be able to really wear it on my body, you have to think of a way to see if there are any good materials." Well, and to have real defense......"
After explaining a lot, Wen Fei patted his ass and prepared to leave. But he was stopped by Director Wang, and said mysteriously: "Boss, the things you asked me to get last time have been done!"
Wen Feiqi said: "What is it?" He Wen Da Heavenly Master and noble man forgot a lot of things, and he said something to Director Wang, but he couldn't remember it all at once.
Director Wang said mysteriously: "Have you forgotten it, the return cannon you said last time?"
Wen Fei was overjoyed: "You won't really make the return cannon?" Lao Wang, you are really powerful!"
Director Wang smiled: "This kind of thing, for modern technology, is very simple. It's nothing more than the principle of leverage. I didn't just build a return cannon. I also made a scorpion crossbow!"
Wen Fei's heart was even more happy, although he didn't know what the scorpion crossbow was. After reading a certain famous book, I learned that the ancient people used this thing to build Xiangyang City.
However, now in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is impossible to manufacture gunpowder in large quantities. Then we have to think of something else. And the return artillery, needless to say, is also a peak of siege weapons in the era of cold weapons.
Although Wen Fei felt that there was not much use of such a thing as a return cannon. He estimated that the Jurchens should not hide in the city, and let him come to attack the city.
followed Director Wang to the warehouse at the back, and Director Wang suddenly appeared in a corner. Turned over a rain cloth.
What are you kidding, Wen Fei was taken aback, but not because of shock. But no matter how you look at it, you feel that this time the return cannon is too small. At most, it is only two meters high, which is completely different from the imaginary murder weapon with hundreds of catties of stones.
However, he immediately realized that if this small return cannon had a real combat use, it would be much more useful. At least it's not just for sieges.
"This is the model. Director Wang smiled: "But it's really made according to the proportions." Iron is much stronger than wood, and stone can be heavier. ”
"Well, this is a scorpion crossbow, how to say it, it doesn't feel very practical. This thing is made with animal tendon twisting. Director Wang pointed to a ballista next door that looked a little similar to a chuáng crossbow and said, "This thing, according to records, can be shè nearly three hundred meters away!"
Wen Fei gasped, if he hadn't felt anything about this number before. But now, after experiencing the battlefield firsthand. You know what that means.
This small ballista weighs only a few hundred pounds. In fact, it is somewhat similar to the whirlwind cannon of Western Xia. That Western Xia was blocked on the Silk Road, and it was not possible to learn the technology from the Western Regions.
The whirlwind cannon of the Tangut people could be carried directly by camels, and the stones the size of a fist were enough to break the blood flow of people's heads, and break their tendons.
The effective shè of those bows and arrows in the Northern Song Dynasty army was about sixty or seventy meters, and it was difficult to shè armor no matter how far it went. In the army, there is a large-scale killing weapon such as the divine arm crossbow, and the shè distance is more than 340 steps, that is, about 500 meters. But in fact, this kind of divine arm crossbow is a kind of pedal crossbow.
and another big killing weapon in the Song Dynasty army, that is, the chuáng crossbow. One or several bows were mounted on a chuáng rack to twist the axle at the back of the bow to load the arrows. At the time of the Battle of Lanyuan, if it wasn't for the death of the Liao general, I don't know what the war would have been?
In short, the Great Song Dynasty was very rich, and because it had been beaten, it attached the most importance to the research of these new equipment. It can be said that the equipment is good, and it is the crown of all dynasties.
In comparison, Wen Fei even made a bunch of guns to go to the Northern Song Dynasty. There is almost no advantage in shè. Modern firearms have always pursued not shè range, and the effective shè range of rifles is only seven or eight hundred meters, which is not far away from World War II.
As for automatic rifles, it's only three or four hundred meters. It can be said that unless Wen Fei can organize the frontal fire of a regiment, it will hardly play any role in front of the cavalry of other people's brigades. Liao is known as a country with millions of iron horses, and the Jurchens are more ferocious than Liao.
And the scorpion crossbow can shè three hundred steps away, this thing cāo is much simpler than the chuáng crossbow. There are many types of chuáng crossbows in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", ranging from 2 to 4 bows. The number of people who twist the shaft when the multi-bow chuáng crossbow is stretched is 5~7 people for small ones, and more than 100 people are needed for large ones such as "eight-bull crossbows".
And the scorpion crossbow only needs to be made by one person, and the top breaking genius is paired with two people to help......
Thinking of this, Wen Fei, who had become a war maniac, was almost red. nǎinǎi, with a long-range trebuchet (回回炮), with a medium-range chuáng crossbow, a scorpion crossbow, plus a divine arm crossbow, and then a close-range bow and arrow. A three-dimensional saturation strike of far, medium and near, covering type was formed.
Teach the Liao people or Jurchens a lesson and let them know what non-contact warfare is......
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Master of Wenda couldn't help but feel cháo! Other traversers, even if they want to get it, can't do it, without him, the ancient craftsmanship is very difficult to pass. However, Wenda Heavenly Master has the support of modern industry behind him, and he can do it!
"Actually, these things are also ancient designs, and they are nothing remarkable. Director Wang said: "If it is replaced by modern materials, it will be much more powerful." ”
Wen Fei didn't know much about these cold weapons, but it seemed that when Director Wang talked about these things, he was like a river. If you think of this product as the earliest in making swords and the like, it must be an enthusiast of these cold weapons......
Sure enough, when asked, Director Wang smiled and said: "Yes, now the various cold weapons made by our factory have slowly made a reputation." Our factory is not the kind of streamlined mass production parallel goods, but they are all made in a single piece, but they are all Jing products!"
Wen Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said, "Then you can design a ballista for me, which is better than these." Don't ask me what's the use......" Wen Fei took the first step to block all the words.
"Ballistae made with modern spring technology are naturally much more powerful. But this is a real murder weapon, boss, are you using it to kill or set fire?" said Director Wang jokingly.
"Nonsense, are you going to kill people with ballistas and set them on fire?" Wen Fei sneered: "I'll contact the business, you hurry up and find someone to design the ballista I want, if you don't do it, there will be a big business, enough for you to be busy for a while!"
As soon as he heard that there was a big business, Director Wang didn't try to do it, and making money was the biggest good thing, but could there really be anyone who took a ballista to rob a bank?
Leaving the factory, Wenfei naturally will not be in contact business. He is a customer himself!
In his mind just now, a thought suddenly arose, and he felt that he was too stupid. Why do you always think about getting some resources from the Northern Song Dynasty and selling them to modern times in exchange for funds?
Of course, it is actually good to be able to get things from the Northern Song Dynasty and sell them to modern times. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there really weren't many that could be sold in large quantities in modern times. Don't mention those unlucky furs, Wen Fei is about to be killed!
Things like all kinds of gems are produced very little in the country itself. And most of them are unmanageable by Wenfei, one is the difficulty of mining. Buried too deeply, do you think there was that kind of mining technology in the Northern Song Dynasty?
Moreover, the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty was too small, and many gem mines were not located in the Northern Song Dynasty at all. You say jadeite? You know no, at this time, Yunnan was still the territory of Dali. It seems that at this time, it was still when Duan Yu was the emperor of Dali, that's right, it was Duan Yu in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon.
I can't stretch my sphere of influence, and I want to go to Myanmar to mine jadeite, which is like a dream. So Wen Fei has been worried about his capital chain.
But now, Master Wen has a new idea. We can't sell entities, we can be creative, no, it's about selling culture.
Thinking of this, Wen Fei called Zhang Yu's guy: "Fatty, where is your wife's cousin?"
Zhang Yu was stunned by Wen Fei's tongue twister-like statement, and immediately reacted, and said disdainfully: "You are talking about Xiaoxiao, I sue you, it's late, it's late." At the beginning, you didn't chase it, but now that people have a boyfriend, you came to inquire......"
Wen Fei laughed and laughed, what kind of joke are you kidding? Can I, the Great Heavenly Master, still need to chase girls? As long as I say it, the beautiful woman can line up from the gate of Shang's Father's Mansion to the Suzaku Gate in Tokyo City!
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm looking for her to have something serious!" Wen Fei shouted.
"Serious business?" Zhang Yu said: "The issue of men and women is the most serious thing in the world. I tell you, your mother has come to me many times, and she has always asked me how your personal problems have been solved, and let me help you cāocāo. He also said that you are not too young, and you don't even have a girlfriend, which is just too stupid......"
Just kidding, I, the Great Heavenly Master, am about to become a figure in the Great Song Dynasty, and I want to marry the most beautiful princess in the Great Song Dynasty. He still said that this Heavenly Master can't marry a wife?
However, then, Wen Fei was completely deflated. !。
