Wang Can, Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and others talked for a while, then looked at Mo Yan and said with a smile: "Old Mo, are you trying to trick me into coming here to cheer up the Academy of Sciences and let the students and craftsmen work hard?
"
Mo Yan shook his head repeatedly and said: "How dare you deceive the lord in your humble position? Please, lord!"
As he spoke, Mo Yan took Wang Can and continued walking forward.
The only people following Wang Can were Mo Yan, Pu Yuan, Ma Jun, Dian Wei and other guards. As for the other craftsmen, they had already started to do their own things, but they were obviously a little absent-minded, and their eyes remained on Wang Can.
.
Wang Can, Mo Yan and others came to the center of the venue and stopped.
Mo Yan waved his hand, pointed at a weapon placed in the center of the field, and said: "Please look, my lord, this is a new weapon we made not long ago, a new type of giant crossbow."
Dian Wei followed Wang Can and gasped when he saw the ballista placed on the ground.
Good guy, this new giant crossbow also has wheels.
Dian Wei was not proficient in forging, but he was quite shocked when he saw the structure of the ballista.
Wang Can stepped forward and looked at the ballista at close range. After looking at it, Wang Can couldn't help but admire it. This weapon is now called a giant crossbow, but it is more appropriate to call it a giant ballista.
Wang Can looked at Mo Yan and said, "Old Mo, please introduce me!"
Mo Yan came over, pointed at the giant ballista and said: "My lord, this ballista was made by us based on the residual drawings left from the pre-Qin era. It is powerful and has a long range. It can shoot more than 600 steps. It can be called a miracle."
Object."
After a pause, Mo Yan continued: "You see, the structure of this giant crossbow is similar to that of a carriage. It has two movable wheels, which can move forward and back at will, and is easy to move. Moreover, the giant crossbow can fire five crossbow arrows at a time. The number
There are more arrows than ordinary crossbows. In addition, the crossbow arrows fired are all specially made. Each crossbow arrow is about six feet long and forged from fine steel. Although it consumes a lot of materials, it is extremely powerful and is definitely a weapon on the battlefield."
After Wang Can listened, he thought about it carefully.
This new type of giant crossbow is indeed different from ordinary crossbows. The Ma Jun crossbow invented by Ma Jun can also fire five crossbow arrows at a time, but it is light and easy to carry. The new crossbow cart in front of us can not only fire five crossbow arrows, but is also more powerful.
Wang Can rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Try it and see how powerful it is!"
"okay!"
Mo Yan was very excited. He immediately waved his hand and called over a dozen craftsmen, asking them to bring crossbow arrows and install them on the crossbow cart. This process was a bit slow and took a certain amount of time, and loading five crossbow arrows required more than ten people to complete.
"alright!"
After about half a quarter of an hour, the crossbow arrows were loaded.
Looking around, five crossbow arrows forged from fine steel were all six feet long, all loaded on the crossbow cart, shining brightly with a cold light. Mo Yan pointed at the rows of stone walls at the edge of the field,
He said loudly: "Lord, please look, we are about twenty feet away from the stone wall, not far nor close, but enough to measure the power of the ballista, please take a look."
Wang Can put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll watch, let's launch!"
Mo Yan looked at the craftsman who was executing it and shouted: "Launch!"
After a dozen craftsmen fiddled with it, the five fine steel crossbow arrows mounted on the crossbow cart roared and shot out like meteors. Wang Can was very smart and his eyesight was very good, but after the crossbow arrows were shot, he could only see.
A few rays of silvery white light flashed in the air, and then there was a banging sound.
The speed of the crossbow arrows is staggering.
Moreover, Wang Can could tell from the distant sounds that the giant crossbow was very powerful.
Not to mention anything else, the six-foot-long fine steel crossbow arrow alone is surprising enough.
Wang Can couldn't wait to step forward and said excitedly: "Hurry up and take a look!"
Wang Can, Mo Yan, Ma Jun and others quickly walked forward towards the rows of stone walls more than twenty feet away. When the group reached the first stone wall hit by the crossbow arrow, Mo Yan, Ma Jun and others
He and Pu Yuan both had expressions of satisfaction on their faces and smiles in their eyes, while the craftsmen around them were even more excited.
When Dian Wei saw the condition of the stone wall, he gasped suddenly and murmured: "It's amazing!"
Wang Can also nodded in praise and was pleasantly surprised.
The first stone wall seemed to be made of paper, and was easily penetrated by five fine steel crossbow arrows. Only five round holes were left on the stone wall, which were shot by the five crossbow arrows just now.
When Dian Wei was surprised, he seemed a little unbelievable.
He thought for a moment, then simply walked up to the stone wall, reached out and knocked on the erected stone wall, and then carefully identified the material of the stone wall. He saw that the material of the stone wall was real hard stone, and it was the stone used to build the city wall.
, Dian Wei really believed it. This was the first time he encountered such a crossbow arrow, and he was completely frightened by the power of the crossbow arrow. He was so surprised.
If such a crossbow arrow hits the body, it will be impossible to die.
Wang Can continued to walk forward and saw that the second stone wall had also been shot through.
Then, five crossbow arrows were hung on the third stone wall. These five fine steel crossbow arrows all penetrated the third stone wall, but their tail feathers hung on the wall and failed to pass through.
After Wang Can read it, he couldn't help but admired: "Mr. Mo, such crossbows can shoot through the city wall. If the ballistas are arranged in rows and fired at the city wall or gate, it can destroy the city wall and shoot through the city.
Door. In the future, when we attack cities and plunder territories, we will not be limited to the use of gunpowder. This is a great weapon. Well done, very good. Those who participated in the production of the ballista, you can give rewards according to the rules of the Academy of Sciences. You can be more generous.
, don’t be stingy.”
At this time, Wang Can was very excited.
You don’t need too many ballistas like this, just a hundred are enough. A hundred ballistas are placed outside the city and shoot at the city tower fixedly. They can definitely destroy the city wall. Coupled with the use of catapults, it can be called a
Extremely perfect.
Moreover, the ballistae can also be used in battles.
When the two armies are fighting, a hundred or more ballistae fire suddenly. Whether they are infantry or cavalry in front, or heavy cavalry or light cavalry in front, they will all be wiped out because the power of the ballistae is too great.
.
After hearing Wang Can's words, Mo Yan smiled from ear to ear.
The medical school, the academy of sciences, the martial arts academy, and the liberal arts academy all have corresponding official position benefits and rewards.
However, it is not easy to get the reward.
The more rewards the Academy of Sciences receives, the greater the contribution. In this way, Mo Yan will have the capital to show off and be able to compete with the other old guys.
When he thought of this, Mo Yan was filled with joy.
At this time, Ma Jun said again: "Lord, the gunpowder we developed has also been improved."
After hearing this, Wang Can felt happy.
This time when he led the army back to Chengdu, good things happened one after another. Good news came one after another. Wang Can smiled and asked: "Deheng, can you tell me what improvements have been made?"
Ma Jun said unhurriedly: "After gunpowder has been improved, it can be thrown, and there is no need to stack it manually. When attacking the city, the catapult that throws stones can be replaced by gunpowder, and when the gunpowder falls on the tower, it suddenly explodes.
, it will definitely be of great use. Unfortunately, the power of gunpowder is still limited, and no progress has been made yet."
Wang Can smiled and said: "It's good if you can make progress. Take your time and don't be in a hurry."
Ma Jun nodded and then stopped talking.
Compared with other medical schools, liberal arts colleges, martial arts colleges, and the Academy of Sciences, they have made huge contributions. However, it was only the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences who worked tirelessly day and night to achieve such an achievement.
Pu Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, the Academy of Sciences has made contributions, please personally rectify the name of the Academy of Sciences."
Wang Can turned to look at Pu Yuan and asked: "How to correct the name?"
Pu Yuan clapped his hands and saw several craftsmen walking over carrying a desk. On the desk, white paper and pen and ink were already placed, waiting for Wang Can to write.
Mo Yan said excitedly, "Lord, you only need to write the words "Academy of Science" on the paper, then sign and seal it."
Wang Can picked up the brush and said with a smile, "Old Mo, you are very calculating!"
Mo Yan said righteously: "My Lord, I have to do this for the sake of the Academy of Sciences!"
Wang Can did not refuse. He took the brush that had been moistened and wrote the three characters "Academy of Science" with a flourish, and signed it. Then he took out a seal from his cuff and stamped it heavily on the white paper. He was satisfied.
Said: "Mr. Mo, this is enough! I'm worried that if I don't stamp it, I won't be able to walk out of the Academy of Sciences."
These words made the craftsmen in the venue laugh.
The atmosphere changed accordingly, and every craftsman's face was filled with a cheerful smile.
Ps: The third update of the fourth update: I don’t know much about crossbows, so it’s very rough. Please forgive me for any mistakes.
