"You should also be careful. The Romans may imitate crossbows. After all, we used a lot of these things in the previous war. As a country, they will most likely imitate them after determining the power of this thing. The maximum power is up to
Not up to our level." Zhuge Liang made a few special remarks when sending the group of people away.
"Well, I have estimated this, and it's normal. Countries that are exposed to this thing for the first time will imitate it after seeing its power. However, it won't be a while before the power of this thing reaches the standard." Sima Yi said calmly.
, he had already been mentally prepared for this.
From a certain point of view, war can be regarded as a form of communication, and now that Rome is a big country with a strong foundation, it is not very difficult for them to imitate crossbows.
The so-called technical difficulty does exist, but Rome can still do it without any modifications to ordinary crossbows and directly survey and produce them. At most, the value of the crossbows to Rome and Parthia is not high. After all, the Romans and Parthia
The most classic thing about people is that the bow and arrow can fire ten shots with one breath.
Although the power is not as powerful as crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows have a Achilles heel, which is that they are wound too slowly. Like the powerful single-shot crossbows used by Li Jue and others, the crossbow arrows can be fired at close range and penetrate through when the crossbow arrows are properly tempered.
The armor worn by current generals is not a problem, but have you ever seen Li Jue use this thing twice in one war?
Bows and arrows are pure skills, while crossbows are purely mechanical and have nothing to do with your skills. The difficulty of stringing is related to your skills, and the power is also related to the skills. But there is no problem, that is, the greater the power, the greater the power.
The crossbow is more difficult to string.
This creates a very helpless effect. Crossbows are generally in a wave, and before the emergence of the continuous crossbow, they were basically used to defeat or suppress them head-on.
Of course, it is difficult for the repeating crossbow itself to ensure the balance between power, cost, and the difficulty of reloading the arrows after shooting. Therefore, even if the Romans obtained the crossbow machine, after combining their own conditions, it would be difficult to
It is also unlikely that crossbows can be manufactured on a large scale.
I'm afraid it's more of a small batch production for verification and technical reserve. For a high-attack speed army like the Roman Parthia that shoots a pot of arrows in a few breaths, the crossbow machine is actually not suitable for them. As for the ten-shot
All countries need the continuous crossbow, but the problem is that even the Han Dynasty has not really started to use it.
Speaking of which, this aspect is also the biggest difference between the Central Plains and Rome and Parthia. Due to the quality of iron ore and the difficulty of mining, there are few large-scale legions that consume arrows in the Central Plains, while Rome and Parthia both have open-pit high-quality iron ores.
, the use of bows and arrows became much more casual, so that the two sides embarked on different development paths of crossbows.
Rome and Anxi have obviously taken the route of high firing rate and moderate power, relying on numbers to annihilate the opponent, while the Han Dynasty has taken the route of low firing rate and high power, relying on precise shooting to kill the opponent, so that both sides
There have been great differences in terms of technological development and other aspects.
However, Rome was completely different from the European noobs in the Middle Ages. They were definitely not so stupid that because the crossbows were so powerful that farmers could kill the "noble tin knights" with them, they then technically blocked the crossbows and did not allow anyone to use them.
of.
Speaking of which, Rome can almost be regarded as the conscience of Europe. After the fall of the real Roman Empire, Europe not only made no progress for a whole thousand years, but also regressed. The two sides are really not on the same level. It is simply embarrassing to grandma's house.
.
Huang Yueying has successfully modified the repeating crossbow. The ten-arrow repeating crossbow has medium to high power. Within the charging range of normal elite cavalry, this repeating crossbow can already shoot through warmed leather armor. The closer the distance is, the more powerful it is.
, it can shoot through armor, but the disadvantage is still the high cost.
However, it is barely acceptable, and it can be considered that the system has been restructured enough for mass production. Judging from Zhuge Liang's situation, a batch has been produced and handed over to Li Jue and others. They are going to go to Rome and Anxi battlefields to try the effect. Compared with the Central Plains,
The repeating crossbow that Chen Xi ordered was much better.
At least in the version produced by Huang Yueying, the arrows are already general-purpose arrows, and there is no need to use special arrows like before. After completing this step, this thing is basically on the table and has production value.
However, after reaching this level, even if Huang Yueying uses her own spiritual talent to conduct research, it will be difficult to improve. What's worse is that after switching to the ten-arrow repeating crossbow, the difficulty of changing arrows for shooting has directly exceeded the sky.
To put it simply, after the ten crossbow arrows are fired, there is basically no possibility of refilling the arrows on the battlefield. Filling is extremely complicated, but due to its power and barely acceptable cost, Zhuge Liang still produced this thing first.
One batch.
After all, it is also a high-power destructive weapon. Compared with the single-shot high-power crossbow used by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry before, it is more suitable for use by formation-breaking assault cavalry like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. As for the cost, it is better than training veterans.
The savings are too much.
Of course, Li Yuan also has some imaginative works here, but because Li Yuan lacks hands-on ability in the mechanical department, even though he once crammed in mechanical books, Huang Yueying is too profound in machinery and craftsmanship, and is not as good as this aspect.
You can only seek death.
Even Li You could only make a suitable crossbow machine at most, rather than the best crossbow machine. Faced with a freak like Huang Yueying who could make a lot of mechanical products with his bare hands, let alone Li Yuan, even
Even if Li You comes in person, he can only accept defeat.
Naturally, Li Yuan could only watch helplessly as Huang Yueying quickly fiddled with the almost artifact-like Ten Arrow Crossbow that took into consideration the difficulty, power and cost of production.
As a descendant who came from Liangzhou and inherited the mantle of Li You, Li Yuan knew very well what this kind of thing meant. Even though the cost and production difficulty were relatively high, she was already qualified to be installed.
Judging from the experience accumulated by Li Yuan after living in Fenggao and Yecheng for many years, it would be strange not to build 18,000 yuan of this kind of thing after Chen Hou gets it, and this will be the capital for future promotion.
After all, Li Yuan was on the side during the verification. The fool-like operation, even if held by a soldier, was enough to threaten elite veterans. And top elite heavy infantrymen such as Gao Lan, holding this thing,
It directly makes up for the only shortcoming.
The originally invincible monster infantry is equipped with weapons that can kill the opponent, which simply affects the situation of the battle. However, the only few flaws are probably that it is difficult to deal with the elite sword and shield soldiers, and after shooting, they are basically useless on the battlefield.
Unable to fill.
However, this thing is definitely the best thing to supplement the combat power. Li Jue took away a lot of this thing this time. On the one hand, he was preparing to use it as a secret weapon to provide eye drops to Rome, and on the other hand, it was for verification.
The battlefield adaptability of this thing.
For this reason, since Li Yuan made it clear that he was going to side with Zhuge Liang and agreed with both hands and feet to the marriage of the military advisor's daughter and the military advisor's apprentice, Li Jue and others were ready to go as far as they could after taking the repeating crossbow made by Huang Yueying. Fighting between gods
, we still don’t want to participate.
Faced with this situation, Li Yuan didn't have any good solutions. Huang Yueying was definitely in violation of the rules in terms of mechanical technology. After Li Yuan said unceremoniously in front of Huang Yueying that Zhuge Liang was half as good as herself, Huang Yueying began to brush up on machinery.
All usable machinery was refreshed at an extremely astonishing speed. Those that could be improved were directly improved, and those that could not be directly updated were directly replaced, or substitutes were directly produced. During this period, the entire war machinery in Congling was
Everything has been redesigned.
Obviously, Huang Yueying has also made her plans clear. She just needs to tell Li Yuan directly that even if Huang Yueying does not rely on any external force, she is still a very important role. Oh, it should be said that even without any additional background, she and Li Yuan
Zhuge Liang is also a good match.
Li Yuan's resentment almost reached the sky, and she finally understood that Zheng Wengong and Ma Deheng were not joking when they praised Huang Yueying. This guy is a real mechanical master, and he might be at the same level as those two guys.
of.
Well, it doesn't matter whether they are at the same level or not. Even if they are weaker than those two guys, it doesn't make much sense. Li Yuan's level is still unmatched. Well, I'm afraid it should be said that it is beyond the reach of both parties.
There is no sense of competition at all.
This was the point that really left Li Yuan speechless, and Huang Yueying didn't say anything either, but sometimes it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, the final result is important.
Fortunately, Li Yuan was taught by Li You after all, so at least he knew not to fight the enemy in the category that the enemy was good at. After confirming that he had no hope at all in the mechanical discipline, Li Yuan chose other categories without saying a word.
Fortunately, these studies on the essence of heaven and earth all come from the families of Li You and Jia Xu. They can completely explain the concepts of immortality and practicing qi to become a gang, and naturally render these concepts. Relying on Jia Xu's spiritual talent, these two guys actually do it.
A lot of things.
It's just that the last two guys sealed it all and gave Chen Xi the final result, which is the so-called immortal immortality concept. Li Yuan was fortunate enough to be exposed to these and systematically studied them. For Li Yuan now,
It's a way.
Although this thing itself is a new product, it is precisely because it is a new creature that it is possible to surpass Huang Yueying from a corner with this thing.
Relying on Li Yuan's good mind and systematic study at the beginning, he successfully designed the thing. By the way, according to Li Yuan's experience, he can still ensure that the gadget he designed will have no problems.
But after all, this kind of thing needs a carrier. Don’t you see, from Zhang Heng, the ancestor of the Zhang family, to big guys like Lu Jun, Ma Jun, and Zheng Hun, when making these things, they also need to knock out a carrier by hand, and the production of the carrier
