"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for getting a magic weapon card and two mount cards."
Qin Hao, who received the generous reward, was overjoyed. He quickly helped Liu Ye up and said with a smile: "Now that I have Ziyang, why should I be afraid of a million yellow scarves!"
Although Qin Hao's words are a bit exaggerated, the only one who can compete with the combined forces of the Mohist and Gongshu families and move the Han army back to its disadvantage is Gongjia Liu Ye!
"My lord, the praise is ridiculous, although I don't deserve it." Liu Ye said modestly, but his face was filled with confidence.
When Wang Yue on the side saw this, he looked at Qin Hao with a complicated expression. He brought Qin Hao here because he wanted to ask Liu Ye to help him make a catapult, but he didn't expect that Qin Hao actually directly recruited Liu Ye to his subordinates.
A young talent like Liu Ye, who was proud and arrogant, was recruited by Qin Hao so easily. This made Wang Yue feel like he had refreshed his outlook on life.
Mu'er's future husband is not simple! Wang Yue thought to himself.
"By the way, since Ziyang is a disciple of the Gong family, I wonder if he can make catapults?" Qin Hao asked.
Seeing Qin Hao mention the catapult, Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to the point.
"My lord, you have asked the right person. Although Ye is from the Gong family, he is not a successor, nor is he proficient in any instrument. However, the catapult is the instrument that Ye is best at. Ye can guarantee that even the Mohist and Gongshu family
, can surpass Ye in terms of catapults."
Seeing that Liu Ye was so confident, Qin Hao estimated that he must have done special research. Otherwise, how could he have built a thunderbolt chariot that far surpassed ordinary catapults in original history?
Could it be that Liu Ye has already developed a thunderbolt car now? Qin Hao thought with surprise.
Both the range and the load of the Pili Chariots are far greater than ordinary catapults. If there are Pili Chariots in Hulao Pass, even if there are not as many as the opponent, they will not be afraid of the catapults even if they are condescending.
"Can Ziyang make it clearer?"
Qin Hao is very aware of the power of the Thunderbolt Car, but he always gives his subordinates a chance to show their talents.
When Liu Ye heard that his lord was interested in catapults, he quickly said: "Ye's catapults are far superior to ordinary catapults in terms of range and accuracy. The range of ordinary catapults is about two hundred steps, but the catapult that Ye studied can be
If the enemy is attacked three hundred steps away, the range will be even further if used in conjunction with the city defense."
"Three hundred steps?" Qin Hao said in surprise.
The catapult moves clumsily. As long as its range exceeds the enemy by fifty steps, it can basically overwhelm the enemy, not to mention the advantage of a hundred steps.
"That's right? The core components of Ye's catapult are different from ordinary catapults. If we continue to research, there will definitely be room for further improvement."
"What a sharp weapon." Qin Hao was amazed and asked: "I wonder if Ziyang can name this car?"
"Name it?" Liu Ye was stunned and asked, "Isn't it necessary?"
"Why is it unnecessary? This is something you improved, Ziyang, so it is naturally different from other catapults."
"Then...please give me your name, Lord."
"Well..." Qin Hao pretended to mutter, and after a while he smiled and said: "Why don't we just call it a thunderbolt car!"
"Thunderbolt car?" Liu Ye repeated a few words and said with a smile: "What a good name. Thank you, Lord, for giving me the name."
Qin Hao nodded and asked again: "I wonder how many units of this Pili car can be manufactured in one month?"
After Liu Ye thought for a while, he replied: "I'm afraid it won't exceed twenty."
"So few?" Qin Hao said in surprise: "There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, but they can't make a hundred units in a month?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye knew that his lord did not understand this aspect, and immediately explained with a wry smile: "My lord, some parts of the catapult have no technical content and can be made by ordinary craftsmen. But this core component alone cannot be made by many people."
Made."
"What can we do? The Yellow Turbans will probably launch a decisive battle within a month at the latest." Qin Hao said anxiously: "And twenty Thunderbolt Chariots are simply not enough to defend the entire Hulao Pass."
"I'm afraid it's too late to teach and learn now." Liu Ye frowned.
"What can I do?"
Liu Ye frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Master, don't panic, there is a way to make up for it now."
"What can I do?" Qin Hao said in surprise.
"Please help me, Senior Brother Gongjia."
"Elder brother?" Qin Hao knew that another god might be exposed.
"Elder brother is the true successor of my Gong family's mechanical skills. He is familiar with all kinds of mechanical skills." Liu Ye said seriously: "Now only he can quickly master the manufacturing of core components, and only with his help can we have hope.
Catch up."
"Who is the senior brother?" Qin Hao asked.
"The elder brother's name is Ma Jun, and he is the great-great-grandson of Ma Yan, the great craftsman, and the grandson of Lord Ma Rong."
"Ma Jun!"
Upon hearing this name, Qin Hao immediately exclaimed, this name is like thunder.
Ma Jun, whose courtesy name was Deheng, was a native of Fufeng, Liangzhou, and was the best machinery manufacturer in the Three Kingdoms era. He had a stutter since he was a child and was not good at talking. However, he liked to think and was good at using his brain. At the same time, he paid attention to practice and was diligent in hands-on work. He especially liked to study machinery.<
/p>
The new type of damask weaving machine improved by Ma Jun is not only more refined, simpler and more practical, but also has a production efficiency that is four or five times higher than the original one. The jacquard damask brocade weaved has unique patterns and various patterns, and has attracted great attention.
It has been welcomed by the majority of silk weavers.
The keel waterwheel invented by Ma Jun can lead water from the river up the slope. It is so light that even a child can turn it. It can not only lift water, but also drain water outside during rains and floods. It is the world's first waterwheel at that time.
One of the most advanced production tools in the world.
In addition to civilian equipment, Ma Jun also made many inventions and creations in the field of military weapons manufacturing.
When Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, went on the Northern Expedition, he invented the repeating crossbow, which could fire dozens of arrows at a time and was very powerful.
After the old Ma Jun saw the repeated crossbow captured by the Wei army on the battlefield, he thought that this weapon was very clever, but it still had some shortcomings.
So, Ma Jun improved the continuous crossbow, and the effect was very good. The power was almost doubled, and it shined in the war against the foreign tribes in the north.
In addition, Mayor also redesigned a new type of siege weapon based on the Thunderbolt Chariot - the rotating stone-fired chariot.
Although the Thunderbolt Chariot is much larger than the ordinary catapult, it does not break away from the shackles of the ordinary catapult. It is like a big scale, with a bucket hung on one end, filled with large and small stones, and many ropes hung on the other end.
During the battle, the soldiers pulled the end of the rope hard together, and the end holding the stone quickly tilted up, so that the stone was thrown out to hit the enemy. Each time it was launched, it took some time.
The new rotary stone-pulling cart designed by Ma Jun overcomes these shortcomings. It uses a wooden wheel to hang the stones on the wooden wheel. In this way, a machine is installed to drive the wheel to rotate quickly, and large stones can be connected continuously.
Fire it out so that the enemy has no time to defend.
