Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 333 Transforming the Zhuge Liannu

With the help of Tang Lan's pen and paper, Li Qingwei drew something on the picture, and said after a while: "Brother Zhuge, I think the Liannu needs to be improved, and the arrows of the Liannu should be in this shape."

Li Qingwei changed the arrow according to the style of the bullet, because it is more aerodynamic, shoots farther, and has greater lethality, and if it is made of fine iron, it also has the function of "piercing armor".

Of course, the "armor breaking" here can only break ordinary leather armor, or the kind that combines leather and iron.But enough.

The ancient arrows were designed in a triangular shape to increase their lethality and prevent the enemy from pulling them out.Their design is far from Li Qingwei's science.

Although Zhuge Qingyun looked confused, he still planned to adopt Li Qingwei's decision. After all, in some respects, Li Qingwei's thinking was much stronger than his.

Tang Lan and Zhuge Qingyun admired this point very much.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Qingyun is willing to follow Li Qingwei instead of standing on his own.

First of all, his prestige is not enough, he needs someone with status to overwhelm everyone, he can devote himself to helping Li Qingwei deal with anything, but he needs a backbone, someone with status, prestige, and ability to lead everyone .

In his eyes, Li Qingwei is now a copy of "Uncle Liu". He has a chivalrous heart, but he is capable, and he is a descendant of the imperial family with absolute orthodox leadership.

After all, this is the feudal era, and there is no concept of "everyone is equal". Just being a descendant of the royal family is enough to convince everyone.

But Zhuge Qingyun still said: "If this is the case, the accuracy of the arrow will be greatly reduced."

Li Qingwei smiled slightly at this moment, and he began to draw something on the picture again.

Then hand it to Zhuge Qingyun to watch.

Zhuge Qingyun and Tang Lan looked at the "circle" drawn by Li Qingwei and became dizzy.

Zhuge Qingyun asked: "Brother Li, what exactly is this drawing of yours? Please forgive my poor eyesight. I really can't see it."

Li Qingwei explained: "This is called 'rifle line', commonly known as 'rifling line'. As long as such a line is installed inside the firing port of the Zhuge Liannu, and then the arrows of this kind of arrow are used, the accuracy can be compensated."

Although both of them were confused, they couldn't say anything when they saw Li Qingwei's words.

But the best way to test the truth is to practice.

Right now, designers and artisans are all here.Just make one and try it out.

So Li Qingwei and Zhuge Qingyun were in charge of the design, and Tang Lan was in charge of the production.

Three days later, the three of them successfully copied a "Liannu" modified by Li Qingwei.

Li Qingwei tested the power. Although the rifling was not as standard as modern ones, it still met his expectations.After all, it is handcrafted, and it will never compare to the production standards of regular machine tools in a lifetime.

In terms of power, it is slightly stronger than the previous one, and each arrow shot out does not have the previous "top-heavy" and low "hit rate" problems.

Now there are three words "fast", "accurate" and "ruthless".

If this kind of thing was in his era, it would definitely be a "controlled item".

The rest is the modification of all the Zhuge Liannu. Li Qingwei thought of a good way, that is, to manufacture a batch of metal "rifling tubes" and let the craftsmen install them on the existing Liannu.

This can greatly reduce the waste of resources, and it is also the simplest method.And it can also be easily replaced.After all, if it is used for a long time, the rifling will be smoothed.

but
This modification project requires payment, not only the modification of these things, including the creation of streamlined arrows, arrow modification is also required to pay.

After all, the rifling of this era has to be made by hand, which is very time-consuming and laborious.So it's not free.

After Tang Lan calculated, the price was 5 taels of silver.

Although Li Qingwei felt that it was a bit expensive, these things were still necessary to equip.

After all, although things like rockets are powerful, they are gone as soon as they are fired.

As long as it is well maintained, it can be used for a long time, and the arrows can also be recycled and reused.This transaction is expensive because of the "hand-made rifling".

After all, this is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the most expensive is the "labor cost".

However, Li Qingwei designed a special mold for them in order to "bargain".

All of a sudden, the price was cut from "[-]" to "[-]".

Li Qingwei designed everything, and secretly told Tang Lan about the production method of the "safety lead".

And ask Tang Lan not to spread the word, when the time comes, the propellant and black powder can be handed over to Tangmen's assembly line for production, and the most important "safety lead" must be "hand-rubbed" by Tang Lan himself.

After all, this kind of thing is very dangerous, and no one can say whether the craftsmen who made it will be bought by the enemy and leak the secret.

But if you only master propellant and black powder, it is not a threat at all.

The core of whether the rocket can be launched normally is the "safety lead" connecting the propellant and the black powder. Only Li Qingwei and Tang Lan know how to make this kind of thing and the materials in the whole world.

It's not difficult to make a "safety lead", it's just a matter of material.

Ancient people didn't understand the materials used for manufacturing. Even the list of materials that Li Qingwei wrote down to Tang Lan was written in the form of chemical equations.

And Tang Lan also learned the meaning of those "symbols" after three days of study under Li Qingwei's teaching.

Even if other people get it, it's useless, and even if they get it, they can't understand it.

Even though Tang Lan was the only one who made it, she could still roll out tens of feet a month, and the safety fuse was only used to connect the two types of gunpowder, and ordinary fuses could be used for ignition.

Not many are used, at most one foot long.So Tang Lan can do it alone.

After Zhuge Qingyun helped Li Qingwei improve the Zhuge Liannu, he returned to Chengdu ahead of schedule.

Moreover, Li Qingwei also made a plan for the next step, which was to let Zhuge Qingyun and Tang Lan secretly transport all the things in the warehouse to Zhongnan Mountain and hide them in the real "ancient tomb".

Moreover, Li Qingwei also confided to Zhuge Qingyun that the location of the future uprising will be in Guanzhong.

The [-] "private soldiers" of the Li family were the initial capital for the uprising.

It's just that the time for the uprising has not yet come, and a long-term plan is needed.When Li Qingwei thinks the time is right, he will notify Zhuge Qingyun.

Zhuge Qingyun accepted Li Qingwei's entrustment, and he will go back to prepare now, trying to find a way to transport these things there first.

Zhuge Qingyun was the one who cared most about this cause, he really planned everything for Li Qingwei like a "Prime Minister".

In the past few days after Zhuge Qingyun left, Li Qingwei was only teaching Tang Lan to understand those symbols and formulas.

And Tang Lan's father, Tang Yue.In the past few days, he has been observing every move of his daughter and Li Qingwei.

Except for Zhuge Qingyun, Tang Lan had never been so intimate with any man before.Even his biological father is no exception.

Tang Yue looked at his daughter and Li Qingwei talking and laughing through the window outside the house.

So he secretly made up his mind to match his daughter's marriage.

After Tang Lan fully remembered, Li Qingwei was also ready to leave, after all, he had been bothering Tang Sect for a while.

On the day Li Qingwei was about to leave, Tang Yue invited Li Qingwei to his courtyard, and asked Tang Lan to accompany him, saying that he wanted to practice for Li Qingwei.

There were not many people present, only Tang Lan's parents, Tang Lan's older brothers and younger brothers were busy with the internal affairs of the Tang Sect, so they couldn't accompany them.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Tang Yue didn't hide anymore, he said directly: "Mr. Li, the youngest daughter Tang Lan is about the same age as you, I think."
