In the valley between Xiaobei Mountain and Nanyan Mountain outside Chaoyang City,

Amid the sound of the hululu stretching and twisting, a polished stone egg was smashed into pieces, and then a bunch of sand was smashed on the mud floor marked by the shooting boundary.

"The shooting angle is eight hours and eight minutes, and the landing point is more than 143 steps..."

As the flags were waving from a distance, a rebel soldier shouted loudly.

"Reduce it for a while and prepare to send it again..."

With the sound of resounding one after another, many projectiles of different materials have fallen on the bumpy and messy ground; among them are the broken Chenduobao round pottery bullets, and some are purely made of local red clay, which are crushed and scattered all over the ground, and some are also the arson grass eggs mixed with croton and horse urine or soaked with oil. There are even the crushing bullets that are made of mud and pebbles.

In order to reduce the difficulty and facilitate entry-level accumulation of proficiency, Zhou Huaian initially produced several reduced versions of models, and then conducted comparison experiments on different materials and versions. The main components were the graphics he drew and personally supervised to create them.

Among several projection experimental plans, the torsion projectors from the classical Western era have obvious highs and lows in actual range, accuracy, and bomb dropping components. Instead, they have unique advantages in weight and structure, and are easier to disassemble and carry and move with the army.

In addition, although this thing looks quite simple at a glance, as the key to torque output, it requires two tightened horsehair, leather rope or reverse power generated by animal tendons; this seriously limits the upper limit of use and expansion. After all, whether it is the strength and lifespan of hair as biological materials, it is easily affected by the external environment and weakened or even failed.

If it is just a string of a bow and arrow, it is not very obvious, but as a means of charging power for long-range attacks, it is quite embarrassing and helpless, especially in the Lingnan area where humidity and temperature are relatively high. Perhaps after reaching the relatively cold and dry north, this thing will have better application value.

In the end, the rewind cannon, which is used as a counterweight lever and pull-type stone caster, and the upper limit it represents is higher. Although the structure and volume are much larger, theoretically, as long as there are enough people to use to activate the counterweight, the accumulation range can be said to be a considerable degree of accumulation based on the maximum material strength.

However, the materials required for a qualified rewind cannon are also quite considerable, especially for the current rebel army, who has only created such a castrated version of the sample; in addition to the waste caused by inadequate craftsmanship or improper material selection, perhaps in the end, they can only piece together a few of them.

In the suppression equipment targeting personnel killing, the structure of the scorpion crossbow similar to the large composite slingshot is far more complicated than the traditional bed crossbow or car crossbow with the principle of tension superposition of bow arm, but it is still slightly better in terms of simplicity in operation and rate of fire; but with the current material conditions and technical level of the peasant army, even bed crossbows that meet the standards cannot be made, let alone such experimental products;

In the end, Zhou Huaian used various alternative methods to repair and repair it, and finally completed a reduced version of the prototype, and added a winch and an arrow cassette on the cart as a sample that once existed.

On the contrary, later generations became famous in the Song Dynasty's war against the Western Xia. They could be set on horseback or camel's back, and rely on the centrifugal force of the rotating cross-shaped frame to throw stones and other heavy objects. Among the leaders of the rebel army who came to watch, they received a few positive reviews and praises.

The reason is also very simple, because they are used to being poor because of the rudeness. Even bamboo catapults can be regarded as treasures in a sense, let alone projection equipment that can be carried by animals without vehicle loads. What's more, this thing can be used for both tough and field battles.

Although the range and accuracy of the cyclone cannon and the killing performance are the lowest, and the experience and skills of the postgraduate entrance examination operators are also the experience and skills of the postgraduate entrance examination operators; but it really cannot withstand its structure is simple and cheap enough, as long as the fixed frame made of bamboo and wood, as well as the rocker arms made of ropes, leather pockets and wood chips; it is more suitable for peasant soldiers who come from poverty and are seriously lacking in technical troops.

Therefore, at the moment, people made suggestions, and decided to use this as a standard to search for materials on the spot to make one hundred pieces of them before talking about the others.

"Monster..."

After watching this round of demonstration, Wang Pan, the general who took the time to come, also said cordially and sincerely to Zhou Huaian.

"Your ability and insight have helped you again."

"I just know how to use the fur..."

Zhou Huaian quickly praised him humbly.

"It's not a big deal..."

"How can it not be considered a thing..."

Wang Pan suddenly said a little dissatisfied.

"This is a good thing that will make my brothers in the rebel army lose less money."

"Even if you don't take credit, you will inevitably be included in the documents submitted to Canton."

"I'm still thinking about breaking Chaoyang, everyone will reward you well..."

Then he paused and continued.

"For these devices... since you have all been created by you"

"I don't know if there are any subsequent regulations... I'll just say it."

"I plan to create a team in the resident team..."

Zhou Huaian did not respond in private.

"If you want to use these equipment, it will come in real use..."

"You have to have some skill in practicing and proficient in points calculation and geometry..."

"Why is it so troublesome?"

A young captain with a raw face standing beside Wang Pan muttered.

"As long as you can throw the stone out..."

"That's not what I said..."

Zhou Huaian, who was questioned, was not very angry either.

"If the person who is incompetent to use it and cannot calculate the distance of the throwing stone, there will be many mistakes."

"It's still second to not be able to fight the enemy, I'm afraid it will be very unsightly if I accidentally hurt my brothers."

"Wu Xiaoyan'er, are you doing this too much?"

Wang Pan also whispered in dissatisfaction.

"The monk is not a visionary yet. He wants to be ahead of everyone..."

"This is what Guantou said...

The other familiar people around Wang Pan also responded in a verbal manner

“That’s it, that’s it,”

"What if you can't grasp the size and strength well and throw the thing on your own head?"

"Little Yan'er, do you dare to take advantage of your own life and gamble around this?"

"The things planned from now on will be left to you."

Wang Pan also made a decision on the spot.

"If you want any manpower, just go to the camps to pick it up..."

"Just put it into use as soon as possible..."

"All right.."

Zhou Huaian nodded and said.

"I can make some imitation tools first."

"It's better to let your hands practice accordingly..."

"Then make one and put one into it."

"In this way, when all the equipment is made, you can get started and work."

"After all the teams are skilled in their performances..."

Then Zhou Huaian added that it was a certain expectation and promise.

"You can further send the battalions to teach the corresponding means of handling..."

"You're still thinking carefully and properly..."

Wang Pan patted his shoulder kindly and said to the left and right.

"It's decided like this..."

"You all have to cooperate with each other..."

"Don't blame our military law for being ruthless."

Of course, the next thing is not that simple; even the simplest whirlwind cannon and this relatively backward era are still technical weapons in the true sense; Zhou Huaian has already made the prototype of the matching surveying and mapping standards and icon styles along the way and has begun to practice them on a small scale;

It is mainly based on the scale of the heavenly stems and earthly dominations that people are most familiar with in this era, and the 61-year cycle of reincarnation is used as the subdivided time unit, plus the twelve hours (oz) and the direction and angle of the entries are expressed; and as the standard setting and promoting the people, they are also stuffed into the corresponding private goods, expanding their influence and authority in disguise.

"By the way, monk brother...."

After saying these business, Wang Pan suddenly seemed to have changed his body and looked at Zhou Huaian with a relatively relaxed expression.

"Have you had any fresh food and dishes recently?"

"After catching up tightly these days,"

"My mouth is already salty and tight..."

"There are some gains on the way..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but smile. Is this a result of some kind of "the flowers are arranged intently but the flowers are not blooming, and the willows are formed into shade without intention";

Since joining the Nufeng Camp, the results of other aspects are hard to say, at least they have successfully grasped their appetites and habits. Under their own leadership, these rebel leaders have also become more particular and picky about the requirements and standards of diet.

Then, in a special kitchen truck in Zhou Huaian, a large pot of dried cornus, galangal, dried mushrooms, duck stands and other auxiliary ingredients, cooked spicy and sour fish belly pot and a large plate of vinegar-fried fish roe, and a fish bladder ball drizzled with green onion and garlic noodles sauce, and then placed a table for a private drink.

.........

It is already early winter when snowflakes fall in Chang'an, Xijing thousands of miles away.

In Guangxiamen, which is exclusively traveling with filth and firewood, almost every day, there are a large truckload of frozen refugees and poor households in the city gates that are open every day. They are transported from beginning to end and disappear between the gray-white and mottled land dyed by frost and snow.

Since the sudden whim of a boss in the Fenggong Temple in Jingzhao Prefecture decided to implement the plan of replacing firewood in Xijing City to purify the dirty eastern atmosphere in the city; those families who have been forbidden from the source of firewood outside the city and the corresponding livelihoods and cannot afford to buy official carbide will inevitably have to struggle and suffer in the cold winter; especially the shanty towns in the south city and the western suburbs can almost be carried out to death in the frozen area.

Fortunately, the prime minister in the court who was worried about people's livelihood has finally changed his mind and started to compassionate with the people's sentiment again. While Jingzhao Prefecture continued to promote charcoal burning, it finally stopped banning the import and supply of firewood, and also gave up some way to the charcoal sellers outside the city and the civilians in the city.
Chapter completed!
