After leaving the post house, Mo Chuan and Shen Ning remained silent and said nothing on the way back to the palace.
Shen Ning didn't speak either. They were sitting in the carriage, thinking about their own thoughts.
Mo Chuan took out the drawing of crossbow from his arms, and looked carefully one by one. His face did not show much joy because he got the drawing. Instead, his two long eyebrows wrinkled more tightly.
He thought that he had found the drawings in the box and the box, which proved that the emissary of the Northern Qi Dynasty was making trouble and the thief called to catch the thief.
Shen Ning, however, said that this matter had nothing to do with the envoy of Northern Qi Dynasty. He was wronged.
In this way, the suspect who sent someone to steal the drawings in the post house became confused.
And the two most suspect, one is the Military Secretary Li's trip, the other is Dingyuan King Chu Shaoyang.
No matter which one, he did not want to be the main messenger of this incident.
"This five crossbow, after being made, can launch five arrows at a time?" Shen Ning's eyes fall on the drawings in the hands of Mo Chuan, and casually look at them, and then ask thoughtfully.
"Yes, Ning'er, you can understand the weapon drawings?"
Mo Chuan has some accidents. If you have not learned forging skills, most people can't understand this kind of complicated design drawings.
Even he was looking for Li Zhixing and asked for a few books about forging. After a few days of mending, he could get a glimpse of the door.
Shen Ning smiles. She did read the books about how to make maps of cold weapons. Although she couldn't understand them, there were pictures and written records about them in the Memory Palace of her mind.
"I know a little about it, but the five crossbows don't look strange. Is it very powerful to shoot five arrows at a time?"
She recalled the books she had remembered about the crossbow. The most famous one is Zhuge Liannu. It is said that it was made by Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms. It can launch ten arrows at a time, and its firepower is very strong. The disadvantage is that it is too large and too heavy for a single person to use.
Later, Ma Jun, a great inventor of the state of Wei, improved Zhuge crossbow. The improved crossbow is smaller in size, light and flexible, and can be used in a single soldier. However, the most powerful thing is that it can fire 50 arrows at a time, which has great killing power. Unfortunately, the production method has been lost.
After listening to Shen Ning's words, Mo Chuan's eyebrows spread out, touched her hair, and said with a smile: "silly girl, this five Crossbow's manufacturing drawing is very valuable. Dongqin and Nanyue all covet it. A crossbow that can launch five arrows at a time, do you think it's powerful or not?"
Shen Ning blinked and suddenly said, "I know there is a crossbow that can shoot ten arrows at a time."
Mo Chuan slightly surprised: "ten arrows, so powerful?"
He then nodded his head and said, "well, I believe that there must have been ten crossbows in the world. It should be the Northern Qi Dynasty. Otherwise, they would never sell the drawings of five linked crossbows. They have already made ten crossbows. Naturally, they will not be rare any more. But these five crossbows are very good weapons for us in the Western Chu Dynasty."
Shen Ning couldn't help but look at him, cleared his throat and said, "Mo Chuan, I mean, I can draw a design drawing of ten crossbows."
"What do you say?"
Rao is ink River landslides in front of all can not change color, body also heavy a shock, a face can't believe looking at Shen Ning.
