Chapter 422 Xiaozhi, do you want to be a fisherman? (1)
Su Dingfang and Xi Junmai didn't know what to discuss next to me, so they wandered to me for a long time: "My dear Yi Ai is indeed very good at making equipment. The accuracy and ease of use of this thing can indeed make me have a sharp weapon when I was defending the city. However, it seems inappropriate to use this thing to attack the city?"
"Brother Dingfang, don't be anxious. The show has not started yet." I smiled at Su Dingfang. Our stone balls were just used to measure the distance, which was the flesh of the play. I turned around and nodded at Zhong Hua. When Zhong Hua waved his hand, a craftsman immediately brought an iron grenade and walked over and put it in the net bag that had already opened the string. Now, the faces of the three generals changed a little. They had seen this grenade, and the range of killing was much more powerful than that of simple projectiles or arrows.
Su Dingfang nodded his head as if he had some insight. It seemed that he had figured it out. After all, although it was possible to throw grenades by human hands, the distance was short after all. But if it was fired through this object, you can imagine how chaos the enemy would be.
There are short leads with time scales on them. These leads are made up by the craftsmen racking their brains and burning evenly. There will be no sudden jump of fire, nor will it interrupt the combustion.
I nodded to the craftsman who insisted on burning incense. After receiving the instructions, the craftsman lit the lead. I aimed at the distance and pulled the plate machine. The grenade rushed out with a whistle and suddenly exploded at about 35 steps, destroying the target of the archery that was originally standing with its remaining limbs.
This time, no one in the Wuhan Institute of Technology dared to doubt my design concepts and level anymore. Zhong Hua swears to slap my chest and promises me that he will definitely design a batch of new bomb drop devices of different sizes in this way, and will improve the Thunderbolt car in the way I said.
"However, it is inappropriate to call this kind of crossbow chariot again?" Xi Junmai, who asked, crossing the street, crossing the street.
I nodded and patted the long-range strike equipment created by this new concept: "Or what if I call it a crossbow?"
"Bound Cannon?" Yun Song also joined the thinking industry in the area next to him. "It is not the word "Bound Cannon" next to the character "Bound Cannon", but the word "Bound Cannon". If our army attacks the city, it can throw gunpowder products onto the enemy's city head beyond the range of the enemy's attack. In this way, the enemy guarding the city can be scared and morale will be greatly reduced. Of course, it is a better weapon to defend the city, without special arrows and masonry. It can also be used to severely attack the enemy under the city. Moreover, this object does not need other crossbow tools like ours. The crossbow arms need to be formed in multiple processes, which is both labor-consuming and labor-intensive. This thing is relatively simple to make. What do you think?" I looked at the people with a smile, and I knew. This new long-range strike weapon means that it has completely convinced these people.
The next step is to improve other equipment, such as Huihui cannon, yes, changed its name. This young master is an orthodox Chinese man, who has been on this land in both his previous and current lives. Therefore, since the inventor's bloodline is not Huihui, this kind of cannon will naturally be changed. After thinking about it, I still think that it is called Chang'an cannon, but we invented things in the countryside of Chang'an. Naturally, this name is called this.
In fact, it is just a simple improvement of the local artillery cart used by the Tang Dynasty. This thing is really too simple. Anyone who has seen it can improve it, using the principle of ground, that is, leverage. A large and stable wooden frame has a rotating shaft in the middle, and a tough wood is fixed at the center to be slightly, one end long and the other end short, and a huge earth basket is tied to the short head. It is certainly not the heavier the better, but the weight must be enough. Otherwise, there is no way to lift the ground long head. The long head is used to load the ground projectile that needs to be ejected. The pulley set is used to pull the long head down, so that the short head lifts the heavy object. After reaching a certain height, let go, rely on the heavy object on the short head to freely fall and throw the long head end up, so the stone bullet in the long head is thrown out by inertia.
This kind of artillery car is very small different from the ground artillery car used in the Tang Dynasty. In the past, the ground artillery car used the ground not in this way. Instead, human power was used to drag the rope, throw the other end, and throw the stone bullet. In this way, if you want to have a long range, many people have to pull the rope at the same time. This is really a waste of manpower, and the power of many people dragging the ground is uneven, so it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy.
After using the pulley set, the cannon carriage originally required more than a dozen people to operate can be easily pulled up in just one or two people, and then one person aims. Once you let go, the stone bullet can naturally fly out.
"Simple, too simple, why didn't I expect it?" A white-haired craftsman's eyes turned red with excitement. He kept trembling with his hands holding the artwork, and his tone was very emotional. In fact, this cannot be blamed on them. People's thinking patterns are the most fixed, just like Westerners are used to using knife and fork, and are not used to using chopsticks.
This year is the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, which is less than a year since the Prince Brother and King You of Qi. Anyway, I only know that they have rebelled in history this year. I don’t have that leisure time to record the specific year and month. Now I can’t remember it. I can’t jump into King You of Qi to ask him? I’m afraid he is likely to set up five hundred knives and axes before he will tell me the answer.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if I don’t know. In short, I need to pay attention to improving my reputation and prestige, consolidating my status, winning over a group, and forming a small group. This is the best way to save my life. After all, in addition to rebellion, it is also difficult to blame our Fang family for being guilty.
"Brother Jun, I've finished this topic." Li Zhi was always the first to hand in the paper, and there were few mistakes. He seemed to be very smart, but he was too brave and always thought about things. Such people can indeed become wise rulers who are good at accepting advice, but they also have disadvantages and are easily controlled by powerful officials.
"Well, it's right. You're very wrong today. By the way, why do you think you're so poor in your energy these days?" Looking up at Li Zhi, indeed, the child was not happy. Li Zhi casually tried to persuade me and didn't say anything. This was not right. It could be seen that Li Zhi was very dark and repeatedly urged him, but Li Zhi stopped talking, looking very aggrieved and young wife. It seems that he had suffered a loss.
I found a reason, pulled Li Zhi into the hall gate, and wandered leisurely in the north of Taiye Pond. There were the least people here, and it was close to the lake, so no one around could hear me talking to Li Kedi.
"What's wrong?" After asking, I realized that the day before yesterday, Wang Tai of Wei dropped a beloved jade pendant and asked a personal guard of Li Zhi to pick it up. But he didn't know who it was, so he naturally took it into his pocket. But who would have thought that Wang Tai of Wei came up and beat the personal guard of Li Zhi in front of Li Zhi. If Li Zhi had not come forward to protect him, he would have been unable to save his life. Even Li Zhi was threatened by Wang Tai of Wei, so that his psychological shadow had not yet subsided in the past two days.
Li Zhi took a slow step, his face turned bitter. The corners of his mouth were full of self-deprecating smiles: "Although my fourth brother and I are the same compatriots, both of them are the legitimate sons of my mother, but my father and emperor liked my elder brother since he was a child. However, since my elder brother suffered from foot disease, his personality began to change. The father began to alienate his elder brother and then turned his eyes to the fourth brother. Although the fourth brother was not as good as Jun Ge'er, he was the best among my father's sons. In addition, my fourth brother was good at being in front of my father... Alas, Jun Ge, I really want to become a vassal sooner and end up being free and leisurely."
When I walked to a small pavilion halfway into the pool, Li Zhi and I sat on the ground. I asked, "Why don't you look for your uncle? Maybe your fourth brother may not dare not ignore him."
Li Zhi angrily picked up the stones picked up just outside the pavilion and threw them hard towards the water. After hearing what I said, he shook his head: "My uncle is my elder brother who cares about. Although my fourth brother cannot be loved by him, what can I do? I have visited my uncle several times in the past, but when he saw me, he scolded me with a stern face. He never cared about my feelings, and did not ask if I was wronged." Li Zhi's voice became louder and louder, and I clearly saw his eyes flashing with anger.
"Xiaozhi, don't forget, this is the palace!" I shouted softly, shocked Li Zhi so much that he quickly glanced around. After confirming that there was no one, Li Zhi leaned on the floor in dismay.
This child seems to be very miserable. For the first time, this is the first time I have heard Li Zhi's thoughts. It seems that he has a lot of opinions about this fourth brother and Uncle Li, but is this useful? He is just the ninth brother. Although he is also the legitimate son of Empress Changsun, he has a weak personality and has never been loved by Uncle Li. Even his uncle looks down on him so much, but don't he have any ideas in his heart? Li Zhi is not a fool. Because he is not valued, he can clearly see and understand everyone's attitude towards him, and everyone's love and hate to him as a bystander.
I finally got a little bit more. Why, when the Queen and his uncle fought, not only did he not help his uncle, but he instead beat the drums behind the Queen, and it seemed. He hated him from the bottom of his heart that this uncle never wanted to look at him directly. Even if Changsun Yin Ren helped him with his help, he had been holding his anger in his heart for so many years, how could he not find a vent?
