I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man

Although Pei Bao took a nasty breath for himself, when he saw him again, Chino still had no good face.

The two met in the yard just set up by the Stuff Department.

Pei was dressed in blue, eyebrowed, under a large tree to the east of the yard, holding an open crossbow in his hand. Officials surrounded by a few white beards are old mathematics students in the Ministry of Labor, as well as several craftsmen, Zhao Ding is among them.

Seeing the emperor come, everyone knelt down to salute. Chino raised his hand.

“I'm here today to see how new weapons are being developed. I didn't expect the general to be here. ”

Pei Zheng rose up with a comforting smile in his eyes: "The Graphics Department has just made another improvement on the sky crossbow, come and try it. ”

He said the bow in his hand and handed it to Chino.

Twice, Qin Noh immediately discovered that the new version of Skybow 20 was more sophisticated than before, and that the handle was foldable with the organ hub.

Folded up, one chopstick is about the same length, of course it should be thicker.

“The Emperor had previously said that if he could fold the long handle and carry it with him, he could be equipped for daily use in the military on a large scale. He ordered the artisans to try it out.” Pei Pei smiled.

The last time we met at the Thunder Battalion, Qin Noh did speak of it. The range of the crossbow was long and it was capable of firing more than once, and could be used as a weapon for future generations. Unfortunately, it's too big to carry. Also, bowstrings tend to pull wear and tear during transport. If it can be improved to be foldable, it will not only greatly reduce the difficulty of transportation, but it can also be used to defend women with the power of unbridled chickens like Huo Xiaokang.

I didn't think I was just suggesting an idea. He really made me laugh.

“How's the power?” Qin Noh opened vigorously, targeting targets 50 steps away.

Pei Zheng went forward to help, correct his posture, and moved slowly and respectfully.

Chino pulled the trigger, an arrow penetrated the target and nailed it to the wall.

At the same time, a rear impulse was transmitted. Qin Noh suddenly couldn't prevent it. His body was standing back, but he felt warm.

It was Pei who caught him from behind.

Qin Noh stood steady and glanced at him. “Pei Qing is very careful.” There is one sentence that has not been said, and the General has not been so considerate in the past. Do you feel guilty that your nephew's in trouble?

Pei chuckled: “Although this improved version is delicate and compact, it is easy to carry, but the rear seating capacity is not small. It is a shame, we should wait for the craftsmen to improve it. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice: “Previously, the younger generation did not understand, because of the battle to follow the route, and after the key, he walked randomly, disturbing the Holy Drive, so ashamed. ”

"President Ren and President Pei are in charge of the inner palace guard," replied Qin Noh. "Forget it this time, just pay attention in the future.” Though still angry in my heart, I can't really punish two people. Even if we find other excuses in the martial arts hall, we can only beat the two people up once, and the same punishment Pei Bao has already executed for himself, and now he can only whisper apologies temporarily.

“Thank the Emperor for his generosity. ”

Bai Xin was lucky, Qin Noo didn't want to let out the news that he knew martial arts, and he never knew what Bai Tuo's boy was doing up there. Feifeng Palace is within the East Palace, surrounded by idle enclosed palaces. The two men, as duty officers, went up for a walk, planned a rotating route, and could barely explain.

Qin Noh continued to place his heart on the open crossbow in his hand.

Shot several times in a row, guarded, easy to dissolve in the back seat.

Ultimately, Qin Noh was pleased to discover that more than 90% of the power was before! After all, this type of bow is powered by its delicate box, and folding changes on the handle of the bow string do not affect the power of the machine.

Chino tried to connect a few times and couldn't let go. It was not until an arrow magazine was ejected. Sighs: "With this thing, the army is like a tiger with wings, but unfortunately it's too slow to make. ”

Before the opening of the crossbow, thanks to the help of Qin Noh, although the research and development was successful, this bow, the crossbow machine box is too complex and sophisticated, unless the old craftsmen immersed in this road for decades can not make success, so the progress has been very slow.

The age of handicrafts is so tragic that there are no high-density precision tools, such as lathes, after all.

"In accordance with the Emperor's advice, we also arranged for craftsmen to simplify the process of making crossbows and split them into several parts. Simple is done by ordinary craftsmen, precision requires old craftsmen, and the speed has been about doubled. ”

Earlier, Qin Noh was worried that the production speed was too slow, and made suggestions for running the pipeline. But Pei and Huo Dong came to oppose it at the same time. Skycross is now the number one secret of military aircraft. There are too many craftsmen involved. Confidentiality will be greatly reduced.

Later, even they couldn't stand the lagging production speed, so they took a compromise method and produced the less important parts by the outside craftsmen, the most critical central box of which still had to be made by the dozen old craftsmen.

So far, more than half a year has passed and just over 500 units have been made. It's okay to support a small war, but it's still far from universal.

“In the future, if it is opposed to Beishuo, if this object can form a battle formation, all arrows will be fired, it will become a natural enemy of the cavalry.” Pei Pei sighed.

“I also heard them say in the martial arts hall earlier that to deal with the horses of Beishuo's cavalry, it is often necessary for the horses of Beijiang soldiers to fill in with their lives. If we can turn the war around with this, it will not be unjust for many years.” Chino laughed.

Being an emperor, you have more information. Qin Noh has seen the research and development process of opening a crossbow, which is much more difficult than he thought. Over the years, a huge amount of silver money was invested. The Household Department and the Ministry of Works called for the project to be stopped on several occasions. For some time, Pei Bao himself invested in the silver to support it.

In this era, the valves and nobles were very rich, and Pei Bao also held many business corridors in the North River. Daily financial resources rolled around, but it still took a certain determination to be able to contribute his own silver.

With this alone, how can you not let Chino take a look at the person in front of you?

Pei Pu pulled the bowstring: “Skycross against ordinary cavalry is remarkable, but if it is against iron float, it is not necessarily effective. ”

The Iron Float massacre is the most elite cavalry unit in Beishuo. From knights to horses, they are all wearing elite armor. Almost knife guns are out of reach. They collide directly on the battlefield. The Horsemen of Beijiang have not known how many battles they have lost over the years.

It was Pei Feng who had won several great victories. Once the iron slaughter was sharp, it could only be stopped and the results could not be further expanded.

“I do have a new idea about iron float.” Chino laughed.

Pei Bao followed Qino to the far corner of the backyard, in a separate small courtyard.

I didn't expect the emperor to come at this hour, and a few of the young officials in there fell on their knees.

They had a gray-headed dirt face, saying whether it was a gray-headed dirt face or a polite face. Several people had black and gray sludge all over their faces, especially the head one, even the official robe was full of dust, with several holes. He used to be a fat, black-faced man, and now he's even dirtier.

If this appearance is to be seen by Royal History, it is necessary to impeach an instrument for loss, and the official will not take it seriously.

Qino was surprised: "Did you do the experiment earlier? ”

“Well, before the emperor mentioned the craftsmanship, I couldn't help but try a little bit. ”

Qino's face sank: “Confusion, dynamite, anything like that, can be tested anywhere? ”

He hurried around a few people and came to the yard. It turns out there's a big hole in the middle of the yard, and the dirt flies around. Fortunately, this large yard, combined with the rain of the previous two days, was covered in moist soil, and the earth pit was not too appalling. Still lets Chino look at his eyebrows and smoke.

Shi Yongchang followed him and saw that the emperor looked unhappy. He only said honestly: “Shen and others knew wrong. ”

He was originally a student at Han Lin Academy, his disfigured black fat man, before he was one of three people selected by Chino to help approve the fold. After working and being unemployed for a day, he chose to go into the Mandarin Palace as a compiler. It was a casual cold door job plan. He thought he would be able to share the iron bowl for the rest of his life. After hearing about Chino's opening of the grid, he actually recommended himself and wanted to be sent here.

Qin Nool didn't know until he heard about it. This guy is from a rich business family. He likes to drum up charcoal stones and other tricks at home. He also personally arranged fireworks for New Year's Eve celebrations, sold them in his own shop, quite popular, and made a lot of silver money. There has been a great deal of interest in the Path of the Grid, and the Nyho court has not taken these trails seriously. The family was so tight that they had to give up their hobbies and concentrate on their work because they were counting on him to read and shine. Heard that the Grilles recruited artisans who knew how to fire fireworks, he was overjoyed and rushed to recommend himself here.

After reviewing this person's curriculum vitae, Chino approved the assignment as he felt it was available. He was entrusted with an extremely important task.

Fire and medicine in this era are already showing their prototype shape, but they are only ornaments used during New Year's festivals, or when the theater team makes tricks, because they can easily trigger fires and are not very popular.

The Weapons Department of the Ministry of Industry also has a special barrel capable of firing firearms, but its main function is to attack fire and set fire to each other's granaries or something, which is not significant in terms of killing enemies.

It is precisely what Chino urgently needs to convert guns and medicines into weapons that give them unparalleled lethality.

After that, Chino personally talked to Shi Yongchang for a long time, including some ideas for things like guns and guns, and found that the kid actually had some insight into the chemistry. Hearing Qin Noh's point, he glanced more and couldn't wait to try it.

Chino assigned them this secluded courtyard and more than a dozen craftsmen specializing in the field. I thought it would be good to get something done in two years. Who knew this guy was in such a hurry to experiment, he actually started to mix things in his yard.

Thanks to his previous repeated orders, the yard was only used for scientific research, and experiments had to be carried out on villages outside the city.

If you really blow up the yard, there's no shortage of these two buildings in the Ministry of Works. In case a man dies, in this era, it's hard to find people who have built chemistry!

Shi Yongchang was reprimanded and Qin Noh asked about the progress of the experiment. Pei was listening beside him, silent.

Get out of here. Pei Zheng followed Qin Noo, a moment later, laughing: “The emperor is really wonderful. If fire and medicine can really increase the power, they will be able to make a big difference on the battlefield.” Pause, "he continued," but the best use of the object should be to attack the city, against the North Sorcerer Cavalry, not necessarily working. ”

Qin Noh scratched his head in anguish, "I understand too, I will think of something else. ”

The two people broke up at the gate of the Grid, Qin Noh turned around the palace, on the way, the look grew heavy, he could not let Pei know everything, especially the secrets of fire and medicine formula.

In fact, guns and medicines can really be made into artillery. Even against cavalry in the process of marching, they can be extremely destructive. Perhaps the power of an explosion cannot be compared to that of future generations, but it can be improved! Like filling the interior with sharp iron needle leather, and the world's poison, the medicine, is quite advanced. The weapon is hidden inside the ammunition, the weapon is disinfected, the medicine...

Alas, I seem to be getting anti-human!

But this is the way it is in this barbaric age, if you don't kill people, they will attack you.

Qin Noh sighed helplessly and returned to the Qian Yuan Palace.

Shortly after Qin Noh's departure, Pei also left the Griggs Department, and he rode slowly on the road with a dozen guards beside him.

Zhao Ding is among them. Because the research and development of the Skycross was transferred to the Geisha Department, Master Zhao also lost a position in the Department.

Pei Bao was ready to go to the Thunder Camp site, just on the road with Zhao Dingshun.

Horseback riding out of the city, walking in the green forest, Pei Pei is in a good mood today. "The fire and artillery proposed by the Emperor seems to be very powerful. It is only a pity that Nanchen did not have such tools. For Shangbeishuo, the effect is not obvious. ”

“The general did not have to worry. With a crossbow open, he could not beat all the wolves of Beishuo.” Zhao Dingyi said in a feisty manner. Speaking of Beishuo, he still sees a lingering hatred in his eyes.

Zhao Ding was originally from Beijiang. Generations were craftsman households in the military. With a good craftsmanship, he was also wealthy locally. He loved his wife and son at home and lived happily ever after. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of a Northbound invasion, happiness was completely destroyed. Both parents of the family were killed by the Beishuo cavalry and their wives were abducted and disappeared because of their outstanding appearance. At that time, Zhao Ding and his wife were newly married, and his wife was pregnant.

In this tragedy, Zhao Ding was in pain of dying. He joined the army, courageously killed his enemies, and on several occasions perished on the sandfield. Later, due to an abdominal injury, he lost most of his kung fu and could only fall back to the second line.

Because of his previous accumulation of military service, he also had some estate, but he was reluctant to retreat, always thinking about his hatred in the early years and wanting to continue to serve in the army.

Later, when he happened to meet Pei Bao, he discovered that he had a great talent in armament casting and was re-recruited as an officer of the rear axle heavy battalion.

After more than a decade of battle with Pei, he slaughtered countless people in the North. Later, Pei Bao returned to Beijing City. He was old, his old injuries recurred, and Sex followed him back to run the Zhao family workshop.

Speaking of the North Frontier past. Even after many years, Zhao Ding is still in pain.
