Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1256 Military Factory, Divine Arm Crossbow
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting Zhang Shuye, the implanted identity, a veteran of Zhendong, eight-foot tall, looks like a god, well-read, proficient in the art of war, good at shooting with his ape-arm, quite famous among the Zhendong army."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting Li Mibi, implanting his identity, and trapping the governor of the Beidi branch."

hiss!I actually intercepted this one!
Wang Yu's regard for him was no less important than that of Kunpeng!
In the process of Wang Yu's struggle for world supremacy, such talents were far from even comparable to Demon Master Kunpeng.

Talents like this are a rare breed!

To put it bluntly, if this one could appear before Chen Pingping, one of the two deputy commanders used to check and balance Luowang Commander Zhao Gao might not necessarily be Chen Pingping.

In the snow, Liyang Zhaogou, Beiliang Fushuifang and Beimang Spider Web are known as the three major intelligence organizations in the world.

Spider web, a homophonic word for Zhu Xi, was created by Li Mibi, a close minister of the Beimang Emperor, imitating Zhao Gou of the Liyang Dynasty.In the net, there are two cocoons, six poles, three hundred dragon catchers, and eighty butterfly queens to perform tasks such as infiltration and assassination.

Carrying a pole to catch butterflies and dragonflies sounds poetic, but it is extremely bloody. Once stuck to the pole, one's head will fall to the ground.You can kill them first and then tell them, killing several members of the Yelu royal family and descendants of Murong for Empress Beimang.

Li Mibi, the creator of the spider web, was just a depressed scholar from the Han tribe in East Vietnam 20 years ago.After entering Beimang, he turned into a dragon when encountering wind and rain and became the shadow prime minister of Beimang. He was regarded as the ninth shadow holder of orders in Beimang.Li Yishan once said that the death of Li Mibi would be equivalent to killing the Beimang Empress with one eye and one arm.

This man was used to being a loner and liked to hide and plot against others. Xu Fengnian almost took off the head of Tuoba Bodhisattva but failed because of him.

Moreover, this person is not a weak scholar with no power, but a true master of Xuanjing, who definitely has a place even among the ranks of masters.

Moreover, the snare and the spider web are so perfect for each other!
As the summoning was completed, memories about some of the characters summoned by the system began to appear in Wang Yu's mind. After a while, when Wang Yu digested this part of the memory, several more images of people appeared in his memory. Or a name.

In addition to the five people drawn, Luo Yi's son Luo Cheng, Zhang Shuye's two sons, etc.

"Ding, the balance is completed, and new system functions are unlocked. Shenbing Pavilion Level 2 and Mechanical Manufacturing Institute Level [-]. Please choose one of them."

Mechanism Institute, this is a new systemic function!
However, from his name, Wang Yu can also guess a rough idea. Even if he cannot completely join the technological stream, I am afraid he can start to join the technological stream.

"System, select the first level of the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for opening the system's new function mechanism."

An introduction to the Machinery Manufacturing Institute also appeared. As expected, the Machinery Manufacturing Institute was indeed biased towards science and technology.

The Machine Manufacturing Institute will randomly produce three drawings every month. The content on these drawings are the manufacturing drawings of ordnance and armor weapons used by various Chinese and Western armies before the Qing Dynasty.Wang Yu can use summoning points to purchase these drawings. Currently, he can only purchase one piece per month.

Fortunately, Wang Yu had already liberated the second database at this time, so that all relevant drawings from China and the West would appear.

Of course, this is also a very technical job. After all, all the drawings before the Qing Dynasty are likely to appear here. Although a considerable part of them are definitely useful, a large part of them are definitely useless.

The level of ordnance development in this world has reached a considerable scale in the cold weapon era.

This system function can be used as a supplement to Wang Yu, but it is difficult for Wang Yu to crush the enemy on the technology side.After all, although firearms appeared before the Qing Dynasty, the firearms before the Qing Dynasty were not yet mature and could not form an absolute advantage over cold weapons.Moreover, you don’t even have to think about it to know that even if the blueprint of the firearm is really refreshed, the probability of one being refreshed and the price at that time are definitely certain.

Furthermore, firearms or thermal weapons are a system and do not require the manufacturing drawings of a single process.To put it simply, even if we give you the manufacturing drawings of a gun, but do not teach you how to make bullets, will the value of this gun on the battlefield be comparable to that of a cold weapon?

This new function of the system may give hope for the emergence of hot weapons, but there is still a long way to go to truly reach this point.

Of course, before the new features of this system appeared, there were already channels for obtaining these drawings.If those talents with relevant technologies are born, there is a certain probability that they can bring some of the relevant knowledge with them.

When the new function of this system appeared, Wang Yu had already clicked on it directly, and three drawings appeared. The first two drawings made Wang Yu very disappointed, especially the second drawing, which was actually the earliest drawing of the ancient people. The simplest catapult, this thing comes with a hammer, and the price is extremely cheap, with only one summoning point.

Fortunately, the third drawing did not disappoint Wang Yu.

The Divine Arm Crossbow, the "King of War" of the Song Dynasty, was banned by the government from being made privately. It has been lost and cannot be copied to this day.

"History of the Song Dynasty" records that the inventor of the Divine Arm Bow was named Li Hong, who presented the Divine Arm Bow through the eunuch Zhang Ruoshui. Song Shenzong ordered someone to test-shoot it, and it shot half an arrow deep into an elm tree 240 steps away.

However, Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" said that during the Xining period, a Dangxiang chief named Li Ding donated a "biased crossbow".The method of use is similar to the crossbow of the Warring States Period. You step on the stirrup-like part with your feet and draw the bow with both hands. It can shoot through iron armor within three hundred steps.The Song Dynasty imitated it and named it "God's Arm Bow", "the most powerful weapon".

The military equipment of the Song Dynasty was very advanced. In Shen Kuo's words, "Hitting, stabbing, galloping, and shooting are all the skills of Yixia. The weapons and armor are extremely skillful in modern and ancient times." The divine arm bow is the best among them, with a long range and lethality. Large and lighter than crossbows of the same power, it became the new favorite of the Song Army as soon as it came out.

The emergence of the Divine Arm Crossbow has allowed General Wang Yu to replace some of his powerful crossbows and ordinary crossbows.

Although some strong crossbows can break armor compared to ordinary bows, their cost and weight are problems. Therefore, the army only equips some strong crossbows, not all strong crossbows.

The God Arm Crossbow has excellent range and armor-breaking capabilities, but it has a lower weight. This is the biggest advantage of this crossbow.

The only weakness is probably that this crossbow can only be used as an infantry crossbow and cannot be used on horseback.

Initially, the standard bow power of the God's Arm Bow was 2 stones and 3 buckets.Song Jun believed that in actual combat, the divine arm bow was fired at a relatively short distance, and generally did not need a range of two to three hundred steps, and could be made lighter.Therefore, during the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court issued an edict to create a divine arm bow with a bow power of 1 stone and 4 tons. It was lighter and required much less strength from the crossbowman.

In the early years of Emperor Gaozong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, the more powerful "short pile divine arm bow" appeared. Usually there were 500 people equipped for every 100 crossbowmen, including 20 superior crossbowmen, who used 3 stones and 4 buckets of crossbows; There are 20 intermediate crossbowmen, using crossbows of 3 stones and 2 buckets, and 60 inferior crossbowmen, also using crossbows of 3 stones.The ordinary third-level divine arm bow also has a bow power of 2 stones and 4 buckets.

One stone in the Song Dynasty, some said it was 92 and a half kilograms, and some said it was 120 kilograms.In the early Southern Song Dynasty, one kilogram weighed 625 grams. Calculated based on 92 and a half kilograms, it is 57 kilograms or 125 pounds today.

Calculated based on 120 kilograms, it is 75 kilograms or 165 pounds today.Converted to 6.4 grains per pound and 4.85 grains per pound respectively, both are far below today’s minimum arrow standards.

A reasonable guess is that one stone weighs 120 kilograms (165 pounds), which is 82.5 pounds, or 9.7 grains per pound. Such a weight is very suitable for a war bow.

Even if one stone weighs 120 kilograms, the Godly Crossbow obviously has high quality requirements for soldiers' pulling power. Therefore, this is a foot-operated crossbow and can only be used as an infantry crossbow.
