Chapter 96 Your uncle is still your uncle(2/2)
In the past, before Liu Bei entered Shu, the Han army would come here to practice mountain warfare.
The so-called - look at the peaks to rest your mind, look at the water to rest your mind.
Once upon a time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also liked to stand on this "Victory Bridge" while looking at the mountains and rivers while discussing the changes in the current situation.
However, on the Victory Bridge at this moment, there is no longer the artistic conception of "gazing at the peaks to rest your mind, and looking at the water to rest your mind". Countless people have flocked here to look down at the "wonderful" scene on the plains under the mountains.
When Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang and Guan Suo arrived, the people were talking about it.
"This merchant's stuff is a bit interesting..."
"The continuous crossbow just now, with ten shots in one crossbow, actually knocked a cow to the ground. After ten more shots, the cow died. This power... If it were really on the battlefield within thirty-five steps, wouldn't it be like this?
Even thick armor can be penetrated."
"You think too highly of today's armor. My son is a member of the Guan family army. How can the armor on his body be as hard as cowhide?"
"However, compared to the repeating crossbow, I think the wooden ox and wooden horse that can walk forward on their own are more interesting. If we have one, wouldn't it be much more convenient? We can go wherever we want. There is no need to feed fodder.
, try it, you can still plow the ground even if it’s not all secured!”
On the bridge, next to a carriage.
Mi Fang also came after hearing the news. Not only him, but also the entire Jingzhou, dignitaries, wealthy clans, generals and counselors... they all came over when they heard that the Fourth Young Master was here to inspect the military supplies.
This is so fresh!
Mi Fang suddenly noticed Guan Ping and was greatly surprised, and quickly pulled Guan Ping to her side.
"Frankly speaking, your fourth brother is really clever. If Yun Chang doesn't give him military supplies, he will buy them himself. Not to mention, just from the crossbows and the wooden oxen and horses, this arms dealer is quite reliable. I
I just sent someone to find out, and it seems that they are from Jiaozhou! I never thought that Jiaozhou today could produce such miraculous things!"
Mi Fang spoke very quickly...and her tone was also cheerful.
But when he thought that all this money belonged to him, and these military supplies should have been his, he felt inexplicably heavier.
I really want to have sex with someone from Soochow!
Guan Ping, on the other hand, spoke a little hastily, "I heard that my second brother and third sister are also here. Can Prefect Mi see them?"
"Them..." Mi Fang pointed to a corner under the De Sheng Bridge, "The dozen or so people on horseback were brought by your second brother, and the dozen or so people in green robes here were brought by Qi Sanmei.
Coming down is the highlight.”
"Your fourth brother wants to try the power of that 'strange chariot'... Let your second brother and third sister fight against each other. Oh, Mr. Guan Er will fight against Miss Guan Third. Everyone, stay here and wait.
Look at this scene!"
What Mi Fang and Guan Ping said happened to be overheard by Guan Yu and his entourage who came in a hurry.
Because of Guan Yu's appearance, the people on the Victory Bridge subconsciously opened a path and vacated the best position, seemingly just to leave it to Guan Gong.
"Everyone, thank you very much!"
Zhou Cang bowed to the people around him on behalf of Guan Yu, and immediately led Guan Yu to stand in the middle of the bridge.
Mi Fang and Guan Ping also noticed Guan Yu's arrival.
"Yun Chang." Mi Fang greeted Guan Yu politely.
Guan Ping handed over his hands: "Father..."
Guan Yu raised his hand to signal, and then looked closely at the bottom of the bridge.
At this moment, the people under the bridge naturally couldn't see clearly the faces of the people on the bridge, but the people on the bridge were condescending and could see everything within their field of vision clearly.
Especially, on the Guanxing side, more than ten knights stood in a row, each holding a wooden stick used in "martial arts".
It's a competition, just point it out, there is no iron blade, let alone a sharp attack.
However, it is a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity. It is cavalry versus infantry, and there is millet. They all must sharpen their swords and prepare for the attack.
On the other hand, at Guan Yinping's side, it was under the arrangement of the merchant "You Tanzhi" that the sidecars were arranged...
There were ten horses on the opposite side, and they prepared eight sidecars... also arranged in a row, but You Tanzhi repeatedly told Guan Yinping something.
It's like teaching her what to do when the real competition begins.
For a time, the most leisurely person was Guan Lin, the Fourth Young Master. He was riding on a wooden ox horse and played with the lightweight "Liannu" with great interest...
He was muttering in his mind.
——"People say that your uncle will always be your uncle, and this is true!"
——"Old Huang is indeed Huang Yueying's father. The Mo family's ability in the art of machine learning is simply amazing!"
Indeed, in history, the "Zhuge Liannu" made by Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying,
Even if it is a complete body, it can store at most twenty crossbow bolts, which means that you have to reload the "crossbow bolts" after two rounds of salvos. Doesn't this delay things on the battlefield?
…and it’s too big and bulky. It’s powerful but has a short range.
It was Ma Jun, the "famous man in the world" of Wei State, who made some improvements and expanded the quiver to a capacity of fifty crossbow arrows.
The shooting range is also ten steps further, and the power is greater. The most, most, most important thing is that it has successfully reduced its weight. It can become similar to a bow and arrow, and any soldier can carry it with him.
Of course, it is difficult to make improvements in the middle...
However, for Guan Lin, although this thing was controlled in his previous life, he still made it according to the "design drawings" restored by the great gods on the "Encyclopedia".
——Rabbit is a good hunter when hunting pheasants.
Of course, Guan Lin has several pain points that have never been solved. It’s not that he hasn’t solved them, but even the great masters on the encyclopedia haven’t solved them.
Such as capacity, such as range, but the principles and ideas are there, and the manufacturing diagram drawn to Huang Chengyan also marked these.
I never thought that Huang Chengyan's finished product would directly and perfectly solve those "pain points".
Only then did Guan Lin realize that perhaps when it comes to the art of craftsmanship, especially the handicrafts of Mohism, the abilities of the ancients were so high that it was impossible to say that they were scorning the "experts" of later generations.
No exaggeration.
The same goes for a wooden cow and a stray horse...
In fact, Guan Lin drew three production drawings for just one wooden cow and flowing horse.
They are all perfectly restored by the masters on the encyclopedia.
The simplest design drawing, the core principle, a wooden cow and a flowing horse is a wheelbarrow...
To be more complicated, the "leverage principle", "geometric principle", and "Pythagorean theorem" are used. Through these, the wooden cow and the flowing horse can achieve perpetual motion.
When Guan Lin saw this thing actually moving, he was shocked.
He also pulled Huang Chengyan to ask the reason.
Huang Chengyan said a lot, specifically "a wooden box with a hole on the vertical center line near the upper edge of the left and right side walls. The three-foot-long shaft of the wooden cow passes through the two holes of the flowing horse.
The horse can move forward and backward on this axis."
"As the handle of the shaft is pulled forward and pressed down, the top hole of the fret moves above the left hole of the fret, that is, the center of gravity moves to the front legs. At this time, the right hole of the fret is pried up, that is, the hind legs are not stressed and
It is lifted up in the air and moved closer to the front legs under the influence of gravity or the push of the spikes on the horse..."
In fact, there are a lot more behind...
At that time, when Guan Lin heard this, he was immediately confused and shouted, "Master, stop reading."
At that moment, he was convinced!
——"Lao Huang, I admit, you are awesome!"
That night, Guan Lin also cooked specially and cooked more dishes to reward Lao Huang!
Guan Lin thought about this, Lao Huang, if in later generations, any dynasty with a slightly brighter technology tree, the first industrial revolution would not have "Watt" at all.
Even if the second industrial revolution is not guaranteed, it can come much earlier.
It seems that the only thing that separates Huang Chengyan from the Nobel Prize in Physics is his Guan Lin's "manufacturing drawings"!
