Chapter 863: Just a few broken wheels
The emperor was thinking that the wooden pulleys that Zhao Chen used to lift a thousand-pound stone lock seemed to be different from what he saw.
At least the pulley in front of him was much smaller than what he had seen before.
"You want to put these things on this crossbow?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen, and in surprise, he felt a little regretful.
This is so simple.
The emperor believed that after hitting the pulley, there was no longer so many people needed to pull the bow of the crossbow.
Because last time Zhao Chen could lift a huge rock alone, no matter how hard the bow is to be pulled open, how many thousand pounds are there?
Two or three people tried hard together and could even pull the bow of the crossbow.
The emperor regretted it because he didn't expect that his 300,000 yuan was earned by Zhao Chen.
Just rely on a few broken wheels?
"Li Ke, do your best to help install the crossbow on pulleys." Zhao Chen and Li Ke shouted.
But I was sitting in the sun and basking in the sun comfortably.
The emperor's face darkened.
How come I made money by sitting?
When Hou Junji saw the emperor's face showing a look of surprise, his heart was inexplicably pulled into a ball.
He was thinking about it just now that Zhao Chen must have no way to solve the problem of insufficient power of this crossbow.
But when the emperor saw those little broken wheels just now, Hou Junji's heart suddenly stumbled.
What did Fang Yizhi just say?
Just a few small broken wheels can lift a thousand-pound stone lock?
Hou Junji didn't want to believe it.
But now...
The craftsmen looked at Li Ke and Fang Yizhi's pulleys installed on the crossbow, staring at them tightly.
"Dare you ask this adult, these things can really be hung up with a thousand pounds?"
"Why have we never seen this thing?" a craftsman asked in a low voice.
They didn't believe it in their hearts.
I just knew that the people in front of me were extraordinary, so I didn’t dare to question them in person.
Then he started asking in a low voice.
Li Ke glanced at the craftsmen and sneered and refused to speak.
"This is called pulleys, which was developed by our husband. You only need a rope and several pulleys to form together to easily pull up a thousand pounds of weight."
"This crossbow can be easily pulled open."
"Of course, I can pull it off, too."
"But such a bed crossbow is far behind what the teacher taught us in the academy." Fang Yizhi explained to the craftsmen.
He only thought that these craftsmen were craftsmen in military weapon supervisors.
He never thought that it was Hou Junji who sent someone to capture it from Chang'an City.
"Can you easily pull up a thousand pounds of weight?"
"There are still weapons that are better than the bed crossbow in front of you?" The craftsmen showed surprise.
Let’s not talk about whether this pulley can really pull up a thousand pounds of weight.
They had tried the crossbow in front of them just now, but they didn't pull the bow, but within fifty feet, it was amazingly powerful.
Even now, there is a shooting spear nailed to the courtyard wall within fifty feet.
They said that Chang'an Academy has any more powerful weapons than this?
Or was it created by Zhao Chen and others?
How is this possible?
How old is Zhao Chen? How could he build a weapon that they have never seen before?
The emperor heard Fang Yizhi say that in Chang'an Academy, Zhao Chen taught them how to build a weapon that is even more powerful than this crossbow.
My eyes were green at the moment.
The emperor was even a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not agree to Zhao Chen and paid for his skills.
All Chang'an Academy was built.
Then he can't pay the money.
At that time, whether it is cheating or coercion, it will be better than hundreds of thousands of dollars to enter Zhao Chen's pocket again.
This doesn't work.
"Li Ke, come here." The emperor and Li Ke shouted, and looked at Zhao Chen again.
Seeing that Zhao Chen did not look at him, he pulled Li Ke down aside.
"Father!" Li Ke didn't know what the emperor meant by calling him.
"I just heard Fang Yizhi say that there are any weapons in the academy that are more powerful than this crossbow?"
"But it is true?" the emperor asked Li Ke in a low voice.
Looking at Zhao Chen again, I saw Zhao Chen looking at him with a smile.
This heart was inexplicably shocked.
"Some!" Li Ke nodded.
The emperor looked at Li Ke with a gaze, waiting for him to continue talking.
"The sixth month after the jail time, I gave us a drawing, saying it was the drawing of the Baniu Crossbow."
"Let us explore it ourselves, but we are stupid. We waited until the teacher came out and didn't finish it."
"Later, the gentleman taught us step by step, and then we completed the manufacturing of an eight-ox crossbow."
"Father, you don't know. The gentleman took us to test the power of the Eight Niu Crossbow. The cement wall two hundred feet away was shot directly by the Eight Niu Crossbow!"
"The crossbow arrow has not been pulled out until now, unless the wall is destroyed, otherwise..." Li Ke whispered to the emperor.
A shocking look appeared on his face.
Even now, Li Ke felt a cool breeze coming from his back.
Li Ke didn't dare to lie to himself, that is, Chang'an Academy really has terrifying weapons than the bed crossbow in front of him.
The emperor was a little annoyed.
The bed crossbow he spent 500,000 yuan to develop was actually not as good as the things that a group of young people in Renmin Academy made casually.
It's so incompetent!
Thinking of this, the emperor turned around and looked at Hou Junji with great dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Hou Junji's heart was filled with a ball.
Seeing that Fang Yizhi fixed all the pulleys.
Next is the time to witness whether it is effective.
Hou Junji had great hope that the crossbow that could not be shot out even if it was installed with pulleys.
"Sir, the pulleys are all installed!" Fang Yizhi shouted to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen is not interested in this.
He is waiting for the next morning to go to Hou Junji Mansion to collect the 300,000 guan.
If he can't give it, don't blame yourself.
"You try it yourself." Zhao Chen and Fang Yi waved.
"Your Majesty, are you trying it yourself or letting others try it?" Fang Yizhi asked the emperor.
The emperor is in a very tangled mood now.
On the one hand, he felt that it was too easy for Zhao Chen to earn this 300,000 yuan.
On the other hand, he was worried that the crossbow would still be as powerful as before.
"Come on, go and try it." The emperor waved to the guards in the distance.
Two guards ran over and stood behind the crossbow.
He was pulling two thick ropes in his hand.
The crossbow aims at a giant target a hundred feet away.
After fifty feet of the target, it is a wall made of blue bricks.
"You said, can this crossbow be opened?" Some craftsmen still didn't believe it.
These broken wheels can pull out this extremely tough bow.
"It should be possible, otherwise your Majesty will not be furious."
"I hope it can, too. If His Majesty gets angry, he will definitely take our heads first."
"God, you can bless us, this crossbow must be pulled open."
The craftsmen prayed in a low voice, and their hearts were raised to their throats.
I was afraid that this crossbow would still have no power at all.
Everyone was not talking, and they were covered with bed crossbows in front of them.
The two guards slowly exerted force. They thought that it would be extremely laborious to pull the huge bow of the crossbow open.
It is even impossible for both of them to be.
