Chapter 978

"Kongming, you've done a good job. This wooden ox Liuma is really meritorious to the country. The solitary society wants to ask you for credit for the son of heaven. How about going to work in the solitary shogunate?" Liu Ye invited Zhuge Liang.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have one more thing to show you." Zhuge Liang said again.

"Oh? Although Kong Ming brings it, the things he creates will surely be of great use. " Liu Ye said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang said slowly: "this weapon of the military state should not be tried many times. The wooden ox and flowing horse can still be used for civilian use in the future. However, it must be controlled by the government. Otherwise, I am afraid there will be endless disasters. Please hold back all the people."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's solemn appearance, Liu Ye immediately nodded his head and said, "all of you should step down for the time being."

In addition to Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Guan Hai accompanying Liu Ye, all the guards and craftsmen retreated. Only Zhuge Liang and Ma Jun were still in the yard.

"Deheng, go and take it out."

Ma Jun turned around and took out one thing, which was covered with sackcloth and then slowly opened.

"Is this... A crossbow?" In front of Liu Ye.

"Yes, it's a crossbow." Zhuge Liang said: "the ordinary crossbow can only shoot three or five arrows, but the crossbow mechanism of this kind of crossbow can shoot ten shots at a time, continuously!"

In fact, the crossbow was invented and used very early. The Qin state, which unified the six kingdoms, used the crossbow skillfully. Because of the delicacy of the Qin method, the bronze crossbow machine almost reached the standard of automatic production.

The reason why the Qin state was able to cope with the strong Zhao in Hu Fu, Meng Tian led 300000 Qin troops to expel Xiongnu in Hetao area, and Qin crossbow contributed a lot.

"Therefore, some named it profit and loss crossbow." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile.

Liu ye may be able to confirm that this is the prototype of Zhuge Liannu. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms Shu Shu biography of Zhuge Liang, the bright nature is good at thinking skillfully, and the profit and loss Liannu and the wooden ox flowing horse all have their own meanings. It is very important to deduce the art of war and make eight battle plans. According to Wei's spring and Autumn Annals, there are rules and regulations to train Li's officials. Also profit and loss crossbow, known as Yuanrong, with iron as the arrow, arrow length of eight inches, a crossbow ten arrows all hair.

Zhuge crossbow, also known as profit and loss crossbow and Yuanrong crossbow, has a length of eight inches. One shot is ten arrows. However, it is not small, so it is difficult for a single soldier to use. It is mostly used in the defense of the city stronghold, and it is good to attack the city.

"You go up and test it." Liu Ye said to several guards beside him.

In the open space, a target had already been set. The two guards went dozens of steps away and lifted Zhuge crossbow. They worked together and aimed the crossbow at the target.

Launch!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was heard. Ten arrows were sent out together, all of them were nailed on the target. The target was directly shot through, and the arrow penetrated the target and shot out. If it was shot on the human body, it could be imagined that the crossbow was really ferocious.

"The sharp weapon of the military state, it is really the sharp weapon of the military state!" Liu Ye sighs that although he is a master of Chinese martial arts, ordinary bows and arrows can be caught with empty hands. In martial arts, there are skills of catching arrows with empty hands, in order to catch the hidden weapons such as iron lotus seeds and dark green seeds shot by the enemy.

However, the crossbow is fierce, even the trainer can not catch it. If the bow and arrow are like rifles, then the crossbow is like a machine gun. Who can resist it?

There is a rule in all dynasties in China, that is, the crossbow can't help but bow. The power of the crossbow is incomparable. Even if the farmer takes it up, it may threaten the elite generals who have been fighting for a long time. Archery is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and it is impossible for a hunter to hunt with a fork instead of a bow and arrow? Not everyone is Wu Song.

"But this crossbow has one drawback." Zhuge Liang said bluntly: "it is very difficult to load one shot of ten arrows. There is no time to replace it in the battlefield."

Compared with bows and arrows, the firing speed and firepower of crossbows are naturally much stronger, but there are some troubles in loading them. Otherwise, the bows and arrows will completely withdraw from the stage of history. The profit and loss crossbow has more powerful firepower than the general crossbow, so it is more troublesome to load it.

Liu Ye doesn't know how to make crossbow, but he thinks about it and says, "can you make this crossbow machine detachable? Usually more crossbows are built. Ten crossbows are placed in one crossbow, and they are replaced immediately after shooting. How about that? "

This idea originated from the heavy machine gun of later generations. When the heavy machine gun was fired, there was a long string of bullet belts. After the heavy machine gun was fired, it was immediately replaced by another row, and the firepower was endless. It was unknown how many European soldiers were killed and injured in the first World War.

As soon as he said this, Ma Jun's eyes lit up: "this is just a genius's idea. Qin Gongzhen is a god man."

"Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Qin Gong, can you... Give me the profit and loss crossbow to improve, so that... I can guarantee to develop it!" Ma Jun excitedly said.

"What do you mean After all, the profit and loss link is the wisdom crystallization of Zhuge Liang. In other words, it is Zhuge Liang's intellectual property rights. Of course, Liu Ye can't take over all of them at one go.Zhuge Liang said happily: "if we can improve the profit and loss crossbow, this is a good thing. How can Liang disagree?"

Liu Ye immediately said to Ma Jun: "in this case, Ma Jun, you will be sent to your majesty immediately, and you will be appointed to improve the profit and loss crossbow as soon as possible."

Ma Jun is naturally very happy. He is an inventor. He is very happy to have the opportunity to improve the profit and loss crossbow. In the end, he did not expect that Liu Ye would add an official position to him. This is a real joy.

Liu Ye is escorted home by Liu Ye.

"The Duke of Qin did his best to use it. He really had the talent of being a master." Zhuge Liang praised.

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Kongming, you put forward the idea of wooden oxen, flowing horses and even crossbows of profit and loss. You have made great contributions to the imperial court. From today on, you will serve as Du Zhi Shi Lang and serve the court wholeheartedly."

Duzhi was in charge of the state treasury, which was the most powerful part of the CAOS. Zhuge Liang was a clean and honest official. He was the Prime Minister of Shu Han for decades, but he never bought private property. When he died, his family property was only 20 mu of thin farmland and hundreds of mulberry trees. Naturally, his incorruptibility was obvious. Let Zhuge Liang take charge of the national treasury, which was complementary to each other.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ye has just mentioned himself and immediately entrusted him with an important task. Zhuge Liang was greatly moved and felt that a scholar died as a confidant.

"The Duke of Qin is so valued that Liang dares not to obey his orders?"

Liu Ye took Zhuge Liang's hand with a smile: "the world will be stable soon, and it will be a world of great rule in the future."
