Although muskets are powerful, they are hot weapons after all.
All thermal weapons in the world have one thing in common, that is, they will make one or more loud noises when they use their power.
With such attributes here, it would be somewhat unobjective to say that this thing is a special warfare artifact. Of course, its tactical value is still great.
However, according to Li Sheng's understanding, the Tang Dynasty was planning to encroach on Rome, so not only was the security war the main task, it must be at least a key project.
Since it is definitely the key point, then muskets and grenades alone are definitely not enough. This requires relatively quiet weapons.
For relatively quiet weapons, the Tang Dynasty already had strong bows and crossbows, not to mention the divine arm bow that Li Sheng once provided. However, the divine arm bow is not omnipotent after all.
First of all, the Divine Arm Bow can only have a single shot, and the rate of fire is slow in battle. This thing is used by two armies to stand in formation, or used by top elites with relatively strong arm strength. However, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty is not a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general.
, after all, they are all human beings, they are just braver. How is it possible that everyone can draw the divine arm bow continuously? The name of this thing is "bow", but it is actually a heavy-duty crossbow.
Besides, because this thing is so powerful and heavy, in addition to the problem of high rate of fire, another problem is that the string of a heavy crossbow makes a loud sound when it vibrates.
The sound of fifty strings turning outside the Great Wall refers to this situation.
The application scenario of this thing obviously does not belong to special operations, so for Li Sheng, this matter is simple. He only needs to hand over the entire special operations weapon to Li Er and it will be considered a success.
As for what to use specifically,
The easier way to think of is the repeating crossbow, because first of all, this thing fires fast enough, and at the same time, because the power is not as exaggerated as the divine arm bow, the sound is relatively small, and it is also easier for the imperial troops to fight at the same time - who knows when,
Will stringing the string just one more time achieve great success?
The key is this thing.,
It was said to be magical in later generations of cyber legends, but in the eyes of professionals like Li Sheng, it was actually simple.
No top-grade materials are needed, just ordinary materials can be used to complete it. Everything is just machinery.
This idea seems good.
Of course, the Liannu of later generations was basically made up by netizens of later generations. In fact, no one knows what the real original official product looks like. The full name of Liannu is Zhuge Liannu. If you want to know, it is naturally like a wooden cow and a horse.
It has long been lost in the long river of history.
but.
Netizens just made it up, but it doesn’t mean it’s not good – in fact, they were all educated by later generations in modern science and engineering. Just because it’s a fabrication, it actually performs well!
Of course, even the structures of these crossbows are not simple, and most people still don’t know much about them.
But thinking of this moment, Li Sheng couldn't help but smile.
I happen to be one of the few people who understand and do research on this stuff!
The reason is very simple. Li Sheng majored in engineering, and during his long and boring campus career where there were more boys than girls, he really knew about this thing. He actually remembered the design structure of the continuous crossbow on the Internet! And there were more than one kind.
, there are several different versions,
The restoration is not simple, it is much easier than a waterwheel-driven textile machine.
The more he thought about Li Sheng, the more he felt that he should be kinder to himself. He was already doing so well, so why not just let it go, and get involved in such troubles, but where would he put other young people in China?
With a wave of his hand, he pushed aside the textile machine design at hand, but at this time Li Sheng couldn't help but be startled.
etc.
Although this water wheel spinning machine thing is very annoying, I have been working on it for so long, and it is already half done.
If you don’t finish it, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he shouldn't make such a repeating crossbow. However, Li Sheng wanted to get one of these repeating crossbows back then, but the state-owned and national laws could not rectify it.
Now that I think about it, I have conditions again, and it seems unreasonable not to do it.
So it took ten minutes to assess the situation.
Li Sheng suddenly realized something.
My workload is going to increase, Mad, this is really a scam!
However, thinking about the increased workload, Li Sheng couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window.
Since this matter has become so troublesome anyway, I am afraid that the next step is to really think of a solution. At this time, Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
I think back to when I was in school, my instructor said, you have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, you are the material to study engineering, you will have product ability in whatever you do, if you work hard, you will be the next Steve Jobs.
As a result, Li Sheng just wanted to complain at this moment. Because of this obsessive-compulsive disorder, he has become even busier now. It seems that it is time to find a tool person. But when it comes to tool people, Li Sheng doesn't find it difficult in this aspect.
.
There are two ready-made right now!
One is Li Tai and the other is Li Ke.
Both of them were princes of the Tang Dynasty. According to the history in his original memory, Li Ke lived a mediocre life and was relatively happy. However, because Li Tai's light was too dazzling, it irritated Li Chengqian, and then because of Li Chengqian's incident, he was arrested again.
Li Er hated it, but in the end he was sent to another place, which turned out not to be a good outcome.
Ancient times are no better than modern times. In modern society, as long as you have money, living in California is a paradise, and living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also a paradise. There is no difference.
But in ancient times, putting it outside meant that the quality of life plummeted, which was definitely not comfortable.
In fact, of course, among the princes, except for the prince, who has always stayed in the palace, the rest of the princes were originally going to be sent elsewhere.
Although they were all exiled, the conditions were destined to be poor, but because Li Tai was inextricably linked to Li Chengqian's rebellion, he was "expelled" from Chang'an - this determined that although Li Tai was exiled to
place, but after that, he will definitely not receive spiritual care and material comfort from Chang'an. This is equivalent to the fact that postmodernism talks about a sense of gain anyway. I don't know if Li Tai has a sense of gain in his life in Chang'an, but after being exiled,
It was definitely a feeling of loss once.
However, Li Tai's situation in the world line this time was different. Before Li Tai had time to exert his influence in Chang'an, he directly embarked on an unimagined path.
In a nutshell, Li Tairen came to the Port Saint-Vincent area and started a business - of course, this is not surprising, it is nothing more than a personal choice anyway.
However, what surprised Li Sheng was that what Li Tai built was not just a factory, but an almost complete copy of the Hangzhou set. Not only did he have a factory, he also had a research institute!
