In the Hanlin Academy, Gao Fei came to the room where Gong Shu Fei lived before his death. He saw the dazzling array of organs placed in the room and couldn't help but think of Gong Shu Fei again.
He casually picked up a repeating crossbow. This repeating crossbow was similar to the style that had been popularized in the military. The only difference was that it was heavier, and the arm of the crossbow was much larger than the previous one, and the tension was stronger.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff..."
Gao Fei accidentally triggered the mechanism of the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows were fired ten times in a row, which were nailed to the wall. After a row of crossbow arrows were fired, the huge arrow box was immediately filled with the arrows that had been fired before.
It was blank, and the fired crossbow arrow was buried deeply into the wall, with only the tail of the crossbow arrow exposed.
"Such a strong penetrating power. It seems that this repeating crossbow has been improved. Its range is much higher than that of a small repeating crossbow..."
Gao Fei put down his repeating crossbow and walked around the room for a while. He was eye-opening when he found the things placed inside. Although they were all made of pure wood, such craftsmanship was beyond the limitations of the times.
Finally, he found the machine bird that Gongshu Fei was most proud of in a corner. Next to the machine bird were several items similar to the machine bird. They were similar to modern delta wings, but they were well made.
It is far less refined than the delta wing because the material used is just a layer of cowhide.
Gao Fei looked at these things, and he knew that Gongshu Fei had been studying how to use the machine bird in military applications, and this was something he had mentioned inadvertently before, but he did not expect Gongshu Fei to take it seriously.
"Lord..." A middle-aged man appeared at the door, glanced at Gao Fei in the room, and called out softly.
Gao Fei was playing with the delta wing fondly. When he turned his head, he saw the middle-aged man with dark yellow skin and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Wen Liang, the great scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and I'd like to pay homage to my lord." The middle-aged man bowed politely.
"Oh, you are Wen Liang? I remember Mrs. Gongshu mentioned you to me before, saying that you are from Wen, Hanoi. Seven generations of your family have been carpenters, and you yourself are also very proficient in carpentry. That's why she recommended you to me.
Grand Bachelor, I finally see you today."
Wen Liang said: "Thank you for remembering me, my lord. Wen Liang is very honored."
"You're such a good bachelor, if you don't manage your subordinates, why are you here? I remember, it should be work time now, right? Are you looking for something?"
Wen Liang shook his head and said: "My lord, I am here to see my lord. I have something very important to tell my lord."
Gao Fei put down what he was doing, and seeing Wen Liang's serious look, he walked straight out. When passing by Wen Liang, he said, "Follow me to the hall..."
Wen Liang carefully closed the room where Gongshu Fei used to work and took a final look, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
The two people came to the hall. After Gao Fei and Wen Liang sat down, they heard Gao Fei ask: "If there is anything important, tell me now!"
Wen Liang took out a rectangular book wrapped in yellow cloth from his arms, handed it to Gao Fei, and said slowly: "Since the Hanlin Academy was managed by Mrs. Gongshu, the craftsmen have worked extremely hard. However, Gongshu
In order to improve the overall skills of the Hanlin Academy's two thousand people, Madam did not hesitate to personally teach and teach the craftsmen machine skills. Speaking of which, we are all Madam Gongshu's apprentices..."
"What is the art of mechanism?" Gao Fei took what Wen Liang handed over and opened the yellow cloth wrapped outside. The four words suddenly came into view, and he said it out loud, directly interrupting Wen Liang's words.
"My lord, this organ art is the hard work of Mrs. Gongshu. It combines Gongshu's organ art and Mohist organ art. Taking the essence and discarding the dross, I re-wrote this "organ art", which covers dozens of topics.
This is a weapon with huge destructive power, and the materials used have also changed from wood to metal. In other words, this book is a weapons manual that teaches people how to produce powerful weapons. This is a relic of Mrs. Gongshu, and now my subordinates will use it.
Return the relic to the lord!"
Gao Fei opened "The Art of Machinery" and started looking back from the first page. There were clearly drawn steps for making some siege weapons and city defense weapons, as well as some methods of making machine beasts. When he turned to
In the last half, the words "weapons spectrum" suddenly came into view, followed immediately by knives, spears, swords, halberds,
The production methods, usage methods and pros and cons of eighteen kinds of weapons, including axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grabs, sticks, clubs, sticks, crutches, and meteor hammers, are analyzed. Each drawing is
It is a kind of weapon, such as a knife, which is divided into three types: broadsword, long knife, and short knife. Each type has its own shape, which is painted purely by hand.
"How could she complete such a huge project by herself?" Gao Fei asked curiously.
"Mrs. Gongshu was smart and studious. If she had anything she didn't understand, she would ask various craftsmen for help, and the craftsmen were happy to answer her questions. In the end, it only took Mrs. Gongshu three months to write a book on the key techniques of the machine.
Let every craftsman circulate the essence..." Wen Liang became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally burst into tears.
Gao Fei did not expect that Gongshu Fei would leave such a deep impression on the hearts of these craftsmen in the Hanlin Academy. Before the Hanlin Academy was established, the craftsmen could barely make ends meet. How could they get such stable wages?
It was he who created the role of craftsmen and left them in the Hanlin Academy to research and develop new weapons for himself. Of course, this new weapon was based on his ideas.
He is a modern man. He has never seen guns, cannons, airplanes, tanks, submarines, etc. So when he was with Gongshu Fei, what he talked about the most was how to make the things he imagined in his mind, such as airplanes.
Tank. However, he knew that it was impossible to build it, so he just said it casually.
However, Gongshu Fei took it seriously, and his thoughts opened her mind and allowed him to move away from the simple mechanism technique of playing with wood. In the past, she was reluctant to let others study her mechanism bird, but in the end she still
He dedicated his machine bird, summoned skilled craftsmen, let them study it together, and then copied it, which completely opened up the thinking of the people in the Hanlin Academy.
Wen Liang wiped away his tears, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I would like to invite my lord to see a few things. These things have also taken a lot of effort from Mrs. Gongshu..."
"Well, you lead the way." Gao Fei's heart was full of sentimentality. If Gongshu Fei didn't die, maybe his dreams of planes and tanks would come true.
Gao Fei followed Wen Liang to the workshop where the academicians of the Hanlin Academy worked. When passing by the workshop, all the academician craftsmen saw Gao Fei's arrival, and they all showed enthusiasm and maintained a high spirit.
Not long after, Gao Fei followed Wen Liang to the backyard of the Hanlin Academy. Several new gadgets were displayed in an open space, surrounded by twenty academicians. When they saw Gao Fei arriving, they all bowed and said, "See you, my lord!"
"
"No gifts." Gao Fei said casually and walked forward.
The first thing that caught his eye was a chariot made of steel. The chariot was three meters high and six meters wide. There were ten cone-shaped protrusions evenly distributed on the front of the chariot. It lay on the ground like a mighty statue.
of mythical beasts.
"What is this?" Gao Fei saw this nondescript thing, which looked like a steel bunker or a defensive knife cart, but he just couldn't figure out what it was, so he pointed and asked.
"Lord, this is a tank." Wen Liang said.
"Tank? Is there any mistake? How could a tank look like this?" Gao Fei was dumbfounded by these craftsmen.
"Lord, yes, it's a tank." Wen Liang said, taking out the blueprint and placing it in front of Gao Fei.
After Gao Fei looked at it, he suddenly realized why the drawing looked so familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he figured out that it was drawn by himself. However, no matter how abstract the drawing was, it at least looked like a tank, but in front of him
This pile of steel looks like a protective knife car.
"The tank has wheels, where are these wheels?"
"This is the reason why I invited my lord here. We have tried it all. The wheels made of wood do not have enough load capacity and are easily crushed. However, the wheels made of steel cannot move. Even if we use horses to move, we can't move.
It is also extremely difficult to get up. Since Mrs. Gongshu left, we have been unable to produce decent wheels, so we have to put them here."
Semi-finished products! Everything is semi-finished! The tank is not like a tank, it is like a sword-backed dragon with four broken legs, squatting there quietly without any practical value.
"If you want any wheel to spin, you must have bearings. With bearings, even wheels made of steel can run quickly."
"Bearing? What is it?" The craftsmen are all carefully selected people from the Hanlin Academy. They are among the best in various skills. However, they were stunned by Gao Fei's words and no one could understand.
What is a bearing?
Speaking of bearings, they have a wide range of uses. But if you look at history and do some research, you will find that China is one of the earliest countries in the world to invent rolling bearings. In ancient Chinese books, about axle bearings
Its structure has long been recorded. According to archaeological relics and data, China's oldest bearing with the prototype of a modern rolling bearing structure appeared in 221 to 207 BC (Qin Dynasty) in Xuejiaya Village, Yongji County, Shanxi Province today.
However, it was not popular at that time, and even if it appeared, it could not be used nationwide, and the names were different, so few people knew about bearings.
"I told you, but you don't understand. If I have a chance, I will lead you to make one yourself."
After Gao Fei finished speaking, he looked at the other semi-finished products and sighed silently in his heart: "It is even harder to make a modern weapon in this era. We can only replace it with something similar."
, it has an effect, so what if a tank is built? Without shells, it is just a pile of scrap metal, and it can only be used for defense!"
