Chapter 105 The number of people is not enough, technology will make up! (Thanks to [Yuanyi]'s
The workshop has 3,000 people!
There are more soldiers than Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan currently have under their command!
Faced with Xia Houlan's surprise, Geng Liang smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way! Lu Qiaoqi has too many ideas. Every mature or immature idea needs someone to implement and verify it.
Moreover, after every successful idea is transformed into a physical object, manpower needs to be allocated to specialize in production.
There are only 3,000 people with hammers and mallets here and there, how can they be enough?"
Geng Liang's words silenced everyone present. After a long time, it was Xia Houlan who was the first to speak with emotion: "Sometimes I really want to see what Mr.'s brain is made of... Why does he have so many strange things?"
Wonderful thoughts??”
"Don't think about it, Lu Qiaoqi is in the innate realm, you can't beat him." Geng Liang teased Xia Houlan, and everyone couldn't help but laugh together.
No matter which pot is not opened, Xia Houlan wants to beat someone...
Zhao Yun was a little dumbfounded. After everyone calmed down, he said to Geng Liang: "We are short of people, right? Okay! I will also convey this problem to sir."
Geng Liang suddenly became happy and responded: "Oh! Then I will have to trouble General Zhao!"
The team of craftsmen was larger than his own cavalry, and they were still clamoring to expand their manpower. Xiahou Lan suddenly curled his lips and said in a sour tone: "I finally discovered that this workshop is a huge gold-swallowing beast...
.”
Xia Houlan's words happened to be heard by Han Hao, who came in a hurry. He came to Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, bowed his hands and said: "The workshop developed and improved tools, which greatly improved agriculture and increased taxes. Wind power and water
The car and the upcoming keel waterwheel will also be left behind for thousands of years!
There is also an improved damask weaving machine. It is currently estimated that it will bring Chen Liu nearly 10 million yuan in income every year in the future, not to mention glass products!
Therefore, although the workshop consumes a lot of money, the value it creates is also extremely huge."
Xia Houlan was speechless, and in the end he could only give a thumbs up and said: "Niubi!" The people who followed Lu Yan more or less learned some later words and sentences from him.
Thinking that Cao Jun now has the best armor in the world, the workshop is indispensable.
Therefore, Zhao Yun cupped his fists and expressed his sincere gratitude to Chen Liu's current logistics manager Han Hao, workshop director Geng Liang, and deputy director Ma Jun: "I, Chen Liujun, have the best military in the world, all thanks to the support of the workshop. Yun is here,
Thanks in advance!”
After Han Hao returned the gift, he said with a hint of teasing: "General Zhao, you're welcome! All you need to do is talk to Lu Qiaoqi and ask him to stop thinking about money-burning ideas and think more about ways to make money.
ah!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again.
While they were joking here, two craftsmen under Ma Jun who were preparing to experiment with crossbows were already ready.
I saw two craftsmen setting up their own formations. Fifty steps away in front of them were two straw men wearing ordinary iron armor.
What they want to simulate is the enemy, and there is no need to use their own high-end armor for experiments.
"General, please look!" Geng Liang pointed to the temporary testing site on the roadside and said.
Seeing Zhao Yun and others looking at him, Ma Jun nodded and gave the order, "Fire the arrows!"
The two craftsmen received the order and pulled the triggers of the crossbows in their hands almost simultaneously. With a sudden "pop!", twenty crossbow arrows were shot into the straw man's body almost in no particular order!
After taking off the empty arrow box, the two craftsmen skillfully replaced it with another one that had been installed in advance, raised the repeating crossbow again, and with a "bang!" shot the straw man again.
"Very good!" Zhao Yun clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "According to the current speed of changing the quiver, if we are dealing with infantry, fifty steps is enough to shoot the crossbow twice!"
Xia Houlan curiously came to the straw man with the craftsmen and began to carefully examine the effect of the crossbow arrows.
When he opened the gap in the armor, he saw that the crossbow arrow penetrated the iron armor easily, and nearly half of the arrow even penetrated the straw man's body.
Returning to Zhao Yun and others, Xia Houlan sighed: "It's very powerful. This is really a weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield!"
But turning to look at the repeating crossbow that the craftsman was holding in his hands, Xia Houlan shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, it is a little bigger and has a shorter range. It is not easy to carry, and when facing cavalry, there is almost only one chance to shoot.
"
Geng Liang had no choice but to reply: "After all, it is just a preliminary product. If we have another two to three months to improve it, we will definitely be able to further shrink it and increase its range and power."
"It's already pretty good... Fifty ten-shot repeating crossbows, one shot is five hundred arrows, two times is a thousand arrows, which is enough for Ji Ling's army to drink a pot." Zhao Yun said with relief.
At this time, Ma Jun came to Zhao Yun, but he signaled Geng Liang to come and speak for him.
"Lu Huiqi also gave us instructions to improve the trebuchet. Today's small trebuchet can throw a stone weighing 60 kilograms and has a range of about 200 steps.
The twenty craftsmen behind Ma Jun are all carefully selected experts in making trebuchets.
When we went to the military camp, there were soldiers working together, and they were able to make twenty small trebuchets in one day." Geng Liang once again acted as a mouthpiece.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan looked at each other. Unexpectedly, they had only been away for two or three months, and the workshop had produced another powerful weapon on the battlefield.
Xia Houlan made a fist with his right hand and waved it fiercely: "Great, with the repeating crossbow and trebuchet, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated this time!"
At this moment, Ma Jun suddenly came to Zhao Yun mysteriously, pulled him out of the crowd, took out two long, hard metal tubes with three finger thickness, and handed one to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun said: "General Zhao, this is what General Piao...Piao...General Qiusi said...telescope, I...I have...study...
Success! You...help me...bring...to...him."
"Telescope?" Zhao Yun held it from left to right in confusion, not knowing what it was used for. "It's hard enough to open a person's skull, but it's a bit too short..."
"You... look... far... far away!" Ma Jun reminded, "The small... small end... is facing... your own eyes...
Eye."
Zhao Yun did as he was told and raised his telescope to look into the distance.
At the moment when the telescope came close to his eyes, Zhao Yun trembled and almost threw it away!
"Ah!!" Zhao Yun's subconscious action frightened Ma Jun into shouting, and he quickly snatched the telescope back and held it tightly in his arms.
"This is simply a magical weapon in the military!!" Zhao Yun was extremely shocked, and his heart was filled with shock.
But after seeing Ma Jun's expression and movements, Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly and said: "Sorry, sorry, just now I thought it was some kind of magic that brought the distant land suddenly to our eyes..."
"Ba...baby! But...can't...break it!" Ma Jun still felt a little distrustful, but still handed the telescope back to Zhao Yun's hands.
"Understood, I will keep it until I give it to sir!" Zhao Yun carefully put the telescope into his arms, and then sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that I got so many good things when I came back this time!"
"Haha... good... good things... there are more... so many!" Ma Jun said quite proudly.
After harvesting two treasures, a trebuchet, and a telescope, Zhao Yun officially embarked on the journey to Qiao County.
