Crossing the Condor Heroes: The First Sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 331
As the movements in Zhuge Qingyun's hands gradually accelerated, the arrows were shot out quickly like "bullets".

And every arrow was nailed to the rock wall.

It wasn't until Zhuge Qingyun finished beating it that he handed the crossbow to Li Qingwei.

Zhuge Qingyun said: "This is the 'Liannu' developed by our ancestor Zhuge Kongming. Although this object is not as far as a heavy bow, the arrow is shorter, and the accuracy is greatly reduced without carved feathers, but the advantage is that it is fast. If the opponent's crossbowman shoots one arrow, we can shoot ten in an instant."

"Furthermore, this thing has been improved by my great-grandfather and Mrs. Tang, and its power has been enhanced. Now the force of the crossbow is only slightly lower than that of ordinary crossbows. The range is also much longer. If you are facing a cavalry charge or an infantry attack When it was in the city, it was a 'rain of arrows' in an instant."

Li Qingwei also installed a row of arrows, and then imitated Zhuge Qingyun and used them just now. Like him, all the arrows were nailed into the stone wall. With the power to penetrate stones, this thing is enough.

Although this thing is not as good as Maxim, it is not bad, at least there is no better weapon than this at present, but it is only against ordinary enemies. If you encounter "armored heavy cavalry" like Iron Buddha no more.

Otherwise, Wang Chongyang and the others would not have been defeated back then.

Li Qingwei said at this time: "Brother Zhuge, I feel that I can try to change the arrowhead of this arrow, so as to make it more powerful."

Zhuge Qingyun asked: "Oh? How to change it?"

At this moment, Li Qingwei picked up a feather arrow, and began to draw it on the stone on the ground. Soon he drew the prototype of the improved feather arrow.

The arrow was modified in the form of the modern "armor-piercing round".Triangle with arrowhead removed.It is all "needle-tip streamlined".

After reading it, Zhuge Qingyun asked, "Is that so? But if you change it like this, the accuracy of the arrow will be even lower."

Li Qingwei shook his head at this moment and said: "It's okay, I have other supporting reforms. Let's go out and talk about the specifics."

Zhuge Qingyun nodded, and then showed Li Qingwei another invention.

This invention is nothing but the "black technology" restored by the Zhuge family, which is the legendary "wooden cow and horse".

Li Qingwei carefully looked at the legendary "Wooden Ox and Horse".

This thing is about the size of a green cow, equipped with four very light mechanical limbs, a wheel under the abdomen, a bull's head in front of the head, and a pull ring on the nose of the cow.On the pull ring is a rope.

Li Qing took a little look at the inside of Mu Niu Liu Ma. Inside was a row of delicate gears and bearing structures.

Zhuge Qingyun showed it how to use it, but this thing is not as mysterious as described in the novel.

The "wooden ox and flowing horse" described in the legend can move by itself.But this will not work.

Zhuge Qingyun pulled the nose ring of "Wooden Niu Liuma". Under the blessing of mechanical kinetic energy, he pulled the whole "Wooden Niu Liuma" with only one little finger.

And when the bull's head turns, the four hooves of the cow will also turn.

Li Qingwei tried it, and found that this thing is really light to pull.This is because there is a design similar to the weight of the "pendulum" in the "Wooden Niu Liuma".

The design principle is similar to that of "Zhuge Liannu".Because the inner warehouse of grain is independent.

When the wooden cow and horse move forward, the contents of the inner warehouse inside will "flow" and tilt forward as "gravity", which will generate a certain "momentum" and then let it move forward, with a "gravity" to propel it.

When the "gravity" leans forward, the delicate mechanical energy of the limbs will pull the forward-leaning "inner compartment" back.Then the front hoof takes a step and the inner chamber will "lean forward", but the front hoof drives the rear hoof to move, and the rear hoof will "pull back" when it moves.

This forms a "pendulum force".

After careful observation, Li Qingwei felt that the so-called wooden cow and horse was an exquisite "exoskeleton" armor, which could allow people to do the most things with the least effort.

But this is a function that can only be used on flat ground.The real strength of Mu Niu Liu Ma lies in its "multifunctionality".Can adapt to combat in many terrains.

In fact, "Wooden Niu Liuma" is not a name, but two modes of this machine.The model of walking on all fours in front of me is called "wooden cow".And its other mode is called "Liu Ma".

Because there is a single wheel in the abdomen of the wooden cow and horse, but the radius of this single wheel is shorter than the limbs of the wooden cow and horse.

Usually use the "wooden ox" mode, and use the four limbs when walking on flat ground, which will not affect the unicycle.

But when going uphill, this "pendulum power" will become a burden.

But Zhuge Liang also thought of this problem. The tongue of Mu Niu Liuma is a mechanism card slot. As long as it is turned, the internal "pendulum power" inner compartment will be stuck.

Because the mechanical power of the inner compartment and the limbs are integrated, and because the inner compartment is stuck, the limbs of the wooden cow and horse will also freeze.Will not move again.

This cannot be used if you encounter terrain such as uphill.

Then you can activate the "second form" of the wooden cow and the horse, "the horse".

At this time, pull up the mechanism on the four hooves.The "knee joints" of the hooves can be bent and then folded over.So that the length of the limbs is shorter than that of the unicycle.This principle is similar to that of a folding bicycle.

Then the single wheel fell to the ground without support because the limbs were folded up.

At this time, the forelimbs of the shortened limbs shrink more than the hind limbs, so the forelimbs are completely folded up without getting in the way.

The hind limbs then become the two support points behind the wheelbarrow.After that, just pull down the two handles on the back of the cow, and then lock it in place.

Then the wooden cow and Liuma successfully activated the second mode "Liuma" and turned into a wheelbarrow, which the soldiers only had to push.

This is specially designed for rugged and difficult mountain roads and slopes.

The pattern on the flat ground is "wooden ox", and the pattern on mountain slopes is "flowing horse".

And Zhuge Qingyun also demonstrated the real usage of the wooden cow and horse for Li Qingwei. He connected four or five wooden cows and horses back and forth, and then he could easily pull four or five horses on the flat ground by himself.

Each wooden ox and horse can carry about catties of grain.

That is to say, if an ordinary soldier uses wooden oxen and horses to transport grain on flat ground, one person can pull five wooden oxen and horses, and one person can transport two thousand catties of grain.

Although this transport is not very much, it is a bit less practical than a real mule and horse cart.

But the most important thing is that wooden cows and horses do not need forage, water, and rest like real cows and horses.

This can greatly reduce the consumption of forage.

During the march, you only need to ensure the consumption of the soldiers. You don’t need to worry about things like sickness, death, lack of fodder, and need for rest.

And this one is just cumbersome to design.However, it is not difficult to assemble and produce. With Tangmen's assembly line operation, it can be mass-produced.

In this way, a lot of horse resources can be saved as war horses.
