Chapter 228 Researching the Crossbow
Everyone was silent after hearing what was said, mainly because what the Duke said was right, they really did not have the ability to solve the problems for the Great Dynasty.
After the reprimand, the emperor wrote a letter and asked him to deliver it to Long Yuan who was far away at the border.
After Su Muyao returned to the room, she locked the door and entered the space.
He quickly started looking for some wood in the space and sawing it into the shapes he wanted, drying what needed to be dried and soaking it in oil.
The most important thing is to start cooking with grunts and then process them one by one.
The little guy was busy and sweating. After finishing, he started to write and draw at the table.
Su Muyao knew that if she wanted to live a peaceful and enjoyable life in the Great Dynasty, she should make the Great Dynasty rich first.
At least you have to become one that all countries fear, and at the very least you have to be able to fight back and protect yourself if someone attacks you.
I am clearly a modern man standing on the shoulders of giants, and I have such a great opportunity.
The emperor was a kind and righteous man. At least when others threatened him and asked him to make a choice, he firmly chose himself. Just for this reason, she had to help Lao Deng to secure his throne.
In fact, when the emperor was about to make a decision, she had already thought it through clearly: if the emperor chose the current crown prince, then she would live in seclusion with her family.
It would be a good idea to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and build a few houses, so that the family can live a stable and peaceful life away from the world.
But Old Deng cared about the country and was a wise ruler, which made him change his mind instantly.
I am still young and there is not much I can really do. Now I have the emperor to protect me, but what if I can't even protect the emperor? What should I do?
So she had to plan ahead.
Today, the iron smelting technology in this dynasty is not well developed, and the weapons are not as good as those in the Warring States Period that I knew in my previous life.
Just from the long swords used by these guards, you can tell that they are thick and bulky.
But iron is extremely brittle and not hard enough, making it difficult to use. People with less strength cannot even lift the sword.
Not to mention that modern steel knives cannot compare, even the iron craftsmanship is far behind.
In the Great Dynasty, it is illegal to wear a sword without reporting it, but as Su Muyao is the national teacher, she naturally does not have this worry.
It seems that we need to make weapons suitable for these soldiers, preferably ones that can be used for both close and long-range attacks, and also suitable for carrying.
The first thing that Su Muyao thought of was the bow. Although the bow is suitable for long-range attacks as well as group attacks, it requires strength to draw the bow, and it is also large in size and inconvenient to carry and not suitable for close-range attacks.
Su Muyao thought of the crossbow she had prepared before. If it could be made, it would change the combat effectiveness of the entire dynasty.
Although there are still a lot in my space, I still have to make them. I think making a crossbow is not too difficult.
A crossbow is a bow that uses mechanical force to shoot through objects, and crossbows generally use multiple layers of bamboo.
The composite bow made of wood chips and glue is shaped like a carrying pole, so it is commonly known as a crossbow pole.
Although it is relatively simple to make, in my previous life’s world it was also known as “one crossbow takes ten years”.
This kind of highly lethal weapon is something that the country strictly controls.
The crossbow is made up of several parts. There is a horizontal bow hole at the front to fix the bow so that it will not move left and right.
There is a groove-shaped arrow path on the front of the wooden arm for placing the arrowhead, so that the fired arrow can move in a straight line.
Nowadays, the stability and forward force are very simple. There is a box at the rear of the wooden wall which becomes the crossbow mechanism, and there is a hook for hanging the string in the front of the box which is called a tooth.
There is a sight installed behind the teeth.
The bottom of the tooth is connected to the trigger. When firing, the bowstring will be automatically pulled back and hung on the hook. The crossbow arrow will be placed on the arrow path, aimed at the target, and then the trigger will be pulled.
The tooth will retract and the bowstring hooked by the tooth will pop out, and the arrow can be shot.
This is probably the most lethal weapon that Su Muyao can make quickly now.
The oldest crossbows have always been single-shot, but Su Muyao made one that could fire continuously.
A maximum of twelve arrows can be fired at one time.
Then, looking at the pile of drawings, I had to make improvements step by step based on what I could understand.
Finally, improve it on the drawing and make a few yourself, so that at least it will be convincing.
Then let the people from the Ministry of Industry start mass production.
Suddenly I thought of the sleeve crossbows used for assassinations that I saw in TV dramas in my previous life.
It's almost the same as what I have now, the only difference is that mine is much smaller.
And it only needs to be hidden in the sleeves, especially under the cover of loose clothes, so ordinary people cannot find it.
Su Muyao stayed in the space for several days, but to the outside world, it was only more than half an hour.
He picked two large baskets of strawberries from the space and took them out.
He placed the strawberry in the room and played with the smallest sleeve crossbow in his hand.
Xibao and Huanbao were reading quietly in the yard. Now, they were both scholars and their temperaments had become very calm.
He is already a scholar at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and his future is promising.
Only Su Mingxuan is still laughing and not naughty every day *罒▽罒*
As soon as Su Muyao came out, she was surrounded by Su Mingxuan.
"Sister, you brought strawberries."
The little guy didn't even ask his sister where he got them from. Instead, he looked at the basket of strawberries with drooling.
These strawberries looked even bigger and more juicy than the ones my sister had taken out before.
Su Muyao placed the basket of strawberries directly on the stone table in the yard.
"Eat quickly."
He called Xibao and Huanbao aside and said, "Give it a try."
The two little guys went to see their sister, what did they take out?
It turned out to be a crossbow? Not to mention that it is very small, the material and style are somewhat unlike the crossbows commonly used today.
Before the two little guys could ask, Su Muyao said, "This is a new type of weapon I have developed and it has a very strong lethality.
If you are in danger again, you can just hide this in your sleeves."
Next, Su Muyao was teaching her two brothers how to use it, while Su Mingxuan was sitting on the stone bench and eating happily.
Soon the noise in the yard attracted the three brothers of the Su family. The eldest brother Su looked at the weapon used by his niece and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
The three brothers all looked at Su Muyao eagerly, wondering whether they would get a share.
As expected, they were not disappointed. In the next second, Su Muyao took out three that were much larger than the ones in the hands of the two children.
As soon as Su Laosan started, he felt something different.
It was not until he stood in the yard and raised his arms that he discovered that this thing could actually aim.
"With this, the problem of accuracy is solved."
Boss Su studied the crossbow in his hand and said, "As long as you train for a long time, you will be able to hit the target every time you shoot."
Boss Su's tone was full of confidence.
Su Lao Er and Su Lao San also nodded frequently.
"Father, please shoot an arrow and see how it goes."
Su Laosan took aim at a big tree not far away and pulled the trigger to fire.
