Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 Rotating the Thunder Catapult

Chapter 268: Rotating Thunderbolt Catapults

Ma Jun has a lot of inventions and creations in handicrafts, agriculture, military, etc., but he has been depressed from childhood to old age.

Although many of Ma Jun's inventions and creations did not get the attention of the imperial court, they were welcomed by the working people. His achievements and reputation have been praised by the working people for thousands of years.

Among all the non-civilian and military talents at the end of the Han Dynasty, Ma Junhuatuo and Zhang Ji, Qin Hao wanted to recruit them most.

Originally, Qin Hao thought that Ma Jun was a member of the Mo family, and felt that it was almost impossible to recruit Ma Jun, so he had basically given up.

Liu Ye has already been subdued by Qin Hao, and with Liu Ye's relationship, and if Liu Ye helps to speak, the possibility of subduing Ma Jun is still very high.

It's just that Qin Hao didn't expect Ma Jun to have such a big background. The grandson of the great master Ma Yan and the grandson of the famous Ma Rong are not small, especially Ma Rong was the prefect of Nanyang before his death.

It seems that the Ma family in Liangzhou is the real controller of the Gong family, so what is the relationship between Ma Teng and the Gong family?Qin Hao thought to himself.

Ma Rong's ancestor was General Fubo's Ma Yuan, and Ma Teng was also Ma Yuan's descendant, so it's not difficult for people to speculate about the relationship between the Ma family and Ma Teng.

But after thinking deeply, Qin Hao realized that he was probably thinking too much. Ma Teng was only a side child of the Ma family, and he had openly rebelled with Han Sui and others. Although he was recruited later, he always kept a low profile with the Gong family. The method does not match, so it should not be the dark son of Gongjia.

The relationship between Baijia and Shijia is intricate, and Qin Hao, as smart as Qin Hao, can't help but feel a headache, because there is too little information to analyze anything of meaningful value.

Qin Hao originally wanted to recruit Ma Jun, but Ma Jun had such a complicated background, which made Qin Hao feel that Ma Jun was not easy to recruit.

"Master has heard the name of the senior brother?" Liu Ye asked suspiciously. The senior brother he knew was a taciturn person, and he was not very famous outside.

"No, I just didn't expect that the grandson of Lord Ma Rong would be the heir to the Gong family." Qin Hao quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how much do you know about Baijia affairs, Ziyang?"

When Liu Ye heard it, he smiled bitterly and said, "If the lord wants to know about the Baijia, you might as well ask Lord Wang. What Ye knows is only limited to the Gongjia, while the Lord Wang has something to do with the Baijia."

When Qin Hao heard it, the resentful Wang Yue looked at him, but Wang Yue directly turned his head away from looking at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao naturally knew that Wang Yue was the person who was responsible for the affairs of hundreds of families, but Qin Hao sent Qin Hao away as soon as he asked Wang Yue about the secret of the empire, which made Qin Hao go crazy.

"Forget it, increasing the production of Thunderbolts is the top priority." Qin Hao shook his head with a look of helplessness, and then asked, "I don't know where Mr. Ma Jun is now? If it's too far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!"

"Master, don't worry, Senior Brother Ma Jun is currently in Luoyang." Liu Ye smiled slightly and said to himself, "Senior Brother Ma Jun is very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the court, but if Ye asks for it in person, Senior Brother will definitely sell Ye if he wants to come. A thin one."

"Then ask Ziyang."

Then Qin Hao, Wang Yue and Liu Ye went to invite Ma Jun together. After arriving at the Ma Mansion and waiting for an hour, Qin Hao finally met the inventor of the late Han Dynasty.

Ma Jun is younger than Qin Hao imagined, about 20 years old, with a very ordinary appearance, the kind that can't be recognized in the crowd.

Waiting for an hour made Qin Hao's sense of Ma Jun a lot worse. Qin Hao thought that Ma Jun was putting on a score, but later found out that he was not a big scorer, but an excuse not to help.

Liu Ye's words were almost worn out, and Ma Juncai reluctantly agreed to help. This was still based on his past relationship, which showed how dissatisfied Ma Jun was with the court.

Qin Hao did not show any sign of solicitation from beginning to end, because he knew that the current Gongjia was not something that he could recruit. support.

When Ma Jun learned that Liu Ye had actually developed a new catapult, he was immediately interested, so the four immediately went to the craftsman workshop.

Liu Hong has entrusted Qin Hao with the task of building the catapult, so now Qin Hao is responsible for all the craftsmanship visits. After arriving at the craftsman's workshop, Qin Hao was really eye-opening.

After four years of vigorous discovery, the Yanmen Craftsman Workshop is only one-fifth of the size of Luoyang, and the Luoyang Craftsman Workshop only has nearly [-] craftsmen, not counting more apprentices.

Qin Hao estimates that if the ore materials are available, the productivity of your Luoyang craftsman workshop can produce [-] long knives, [-] long spears, and [-] arrows in one day...

Since Qin Wen's army rushed to Hulao Pass, the Luoyang Craftsman Workshop has stopped all operations, and is specially responsible for building a series of materials used for defending the city, and then transporting all of them to Hulao Pass to ensure that there is no shortage of materials for defending the city.

In the craftsman's workshop, Ma Jun held the blueprint of the thunderbolt car, and said to Liu Ye excitedly: "Junior brother, it's amazing. Why didn't I find out that you have such talent in mechanical skills before!"

Ma Jun doesn't stutter when he speaks. Qin Hao estimates that stuttering is a problem in his youth, and later, like Deng Ai, he overcomes it in adulthood.

When Liu Ye heard it, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "With senior brother here, who would dare to say that he is talented in mechanical skills?"

This sentence of Liu Ye can be said to express the pain in the hearts of all Gongjia disciples.

Ma Jun's talent in mechanical skills is terrifying. One person covers up the demeanor of Liu Ye and other Gongjia younger brothers, and the others can only look back.

"How come, with this thunderbolt car, you can see that the younger brother is not inferior to me at all."

"Where and where, senior brother is overrated."

Although Liu Ye's mouth is modest, he is also a little proud in his heart. After all, he has been suppressed for so long, and now he is recognized by Ma Jun, Liu Ye is still very happy.

"But your Thunderbolt car is not perfect, and there is a lot of room for improvement."

Liu Ye sighed in his heart, but he couldn't hide it from his senior brother.

"I don't know what the magic trick is, brother?"

"Look." Ma Jun pointed to the blueprint, and said incessantly: "If a wooden wheel is installed here, and the wheel is driven by the machine to rotate quickly, the large stones can be launched one after another, which will save a lot of money. Time to refill, and…”

Liu Ye and Ma Jun were chatting with enthusiasm, and Qin Hao and Wang Yue couldn't get in, but after hearing what they said, Qin Hao was immediately amazed.

Ma Jun is really amazing. After a little bit of a question, he thought of the idea of ​​​​revolving a stone chariot. No, it should be called a revolving thunderbolt catapult now.
