Chapter 68 Improvement of the bow

The next day, when it was dawn, the downstairs was noisy. He looked around and saw that the county government office below was already full of people. The people who were still yesterday came to queue up early, fearing that it would be too late, so they stopped recruiting. No matter why they came, whether it was for money or for revenge, they would become a part of Qing Cang's mission, and he could complete the task of recruiting one thousand people today.

At the same time, Lin Meng, Wang Zongwei, Wu Chaojing and others have been sent out to perform missions. He specifically instructed Wang Zongwei that weapons account for a large proportion of the tax troops, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, which is the reason.

Due to the large number of people, Qing Cang asked Cao Chen to recruit in advance, people were alive and were stipulated to be dead. He also appointed twenty veterans to conduct some physical training for the new recruits. This set of physical training was taught by him with many years of training experience and was of great use.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner until in the afternoon, when Wang Zongwei ran to the command room excitedly.

"gentlemen!"

"What's so panicked?"

Qing Cang saw that he was holding two squid bows in his hand. These two looked a little different. Did he think of a solution?

"I thought of a solution. In the morning, I happened to chat with the carpenter and suddenly found that the ink dou he used had a mystery, so I thought why not combine the ink dou with the slow bow."

The ink dou is legendary invented by Lu Ban, the founder of the industry. It has been found in more than 400 BC and has a history of about 600 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. During this period, it has been improved a lot. The ink dou consists of four parts: ink tank, reel, ink line and ink mark. The reel is like a modern fishing rod shaking wheel, but the structure is simpler. Qing Cang was very curious about what Wang Zongwei would think.

"Oh, come and listen."

Wang Zongwei put two sets of squid bows on the table. One of them was larger and significantly higher. The larger set also installed a shaking wheel on the side and buckled the string. At this time, the string was loose. Wang Zongwei shook the shaking wheel twice counterclockwise, and then pulled the string directly into the slot with the snap.

Wang Zongwei introduced while demonstrating: "To ensure the range, the strings will usually be tightly pulled. If you rely solely on human strength, the efficiency is not high, time-consuming, and it may fail. With this wheel, it will save time and effort and improve the success rate."

Qing Cang took the brow and compared the two, he said: "This method is feasible, but you have to find a way to control a reasonable degree in weight, otherwise it would be better to use a bow and arrow directly."

The manufacturing level of this is not high. For the sake of strength, it uses a lot of wood, so it will be much heavier than a bow and arrow in size.

"Yes, I also consider this, and I will look for some lighter materials."

"I did a good job, but I just kept shooting, what are you going to do with this?"

Although it solves the problem of pulling the strings, the continuous shooting has not been changed.

"Sir, I have a preliminary plan here and have also implemented it. The reason why I showed you the roller structure is to lay the foundation for the following transformation."

I have to say that Wang Zongwei is a talented person, and when introducing this transformation, it is clear and progressive, which makes Qing Cang look up to him a little bit.

"Oh? I'm very interested in listening to your transformation."

After Qing Cang said this, he could feel Wang Zongwei's expression becoming soothing, his voice also increased a little, and he seemed a little excited.

"Sir, look, here, I asked the carpenter to raise the height of the slow arm three inches, so that nearly ten slow arrows can be placed here."

Wang Zongwei pointed at his slow arm, which was indeed very different from the other set of slow bows. Then he pulled down the heightened half, revealing the cross-sectional surface, and placed about ten light arrows inside. He buckled the bottom one, and due to gravity, the other nine moved directly downward and fell into the launching trough.

Qing Cang understood at a glance that this was similar to the bullet clamp, except that the magazine was sent to the bullet into the chamber with a spring. These arrows could only rely on gravity. Once reversed, the device would fail directly.

"Very good, your transformation is very interesting, let me tell you what I think."

"Sir, please speak!"

"First of all, your method is already creative and has solved many problems, which is worthy of recognition. But there are some small flaws, such as weight problems. I have a suggestion. You can try to remove unnecessary wood from the original slung bow. As for where to go, you can measure it carefully. If you look for the materials on the roller, I have an idea for the material of the slung arm. It has a lighter texture and softer texture. It is just a storage space. Using too heavy wood will increase the weight."

Qing Cang first affirmed his efforts and achievements. Being able to come up with and transform in a short period of time shows that he has talent in this area and he has done a good job.

Qing Cang said everything in a straightforward manner, and Wang Zongwei kept nodding, because he was right, and being too heavy was his disadvantage of transformation. Too heavy was one that was inconvenient to carry, and secondly, if you took it for a long time, it would directly affect the shooting accuracy.

"Yes, the sir's words are focused on the point, I will go back and change it."

"Okay, you can go down and work hard."

After Wang Zongwei went down, Cao Chen came up at this time.

"gentlemen!"

His words were a little excited and filled with spirit.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Today's recruitment has made great progress, and so far, a total of 1,400 people have been recruited."

Qing Cang suddenly stood up, with 1,400 people, plus 800 people yesterday, and the total number of nearly 800 people he brought was directly over 3,000. These are the forces of two regiments, and they are combined with improved weapons. As long as the opponent is not as large as tens of thousands of people, who can resist his elite soldiers of 3,000?

Furthermore, more than 2,000 people were recruited from a county town of more than 100,000 people. Their physiques were verified and were already at their limit.

As the population grows, the pressure on food becomes greater. He needs to take a multi-pronged approach. The team originally had a budget of only 2,000 people, but now it is one thousand more, and this number will increase in the future.

"Okay, stop recruiting today. You go find an open space that can accommodate 3,000 people, build a one-meter-high platform, and gather everyone there. I want a military parade!"

At this time, the time is ripe, the formation of elite troops and military system reform will be announced there.

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

"etc"

"What else?"

"Including all the soldiers on patrol should be together."

If this matter is announced, everyone will be witnessed, and it will be treated equally.

"clear!"

After Cao Chen went down, he opened the survival system, quickly clicked, and found the completed task. After clicking to complete, the number in front of him did not stop until 75 days.

He then stroked and selected a drawing of the production of the rattan armor from the system, and took three days to exchange it. He thought it was very valuable. The rattan armor had strong protective power for cold weapons, and was extremely light in weight, easy to make, materials were everywhere, with a short cycle, and could be produced in large quantities.

"Come on, find someone to make a sample of the things on this graphic."
