Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 171 Million Arrows
"he's gone?"

In the new study room, Lu Buwei listened to Luo Wang's report. Unexpectedly, the boy ran away without saying hello.

"It's okay to leave, there's one less variable."

Standing up and walking out of the study, looking at the rising sun, thinking of the next plan, Rao Yi couldn't help being excited.

After planning for so long, it is finally time to reap the rewards. I will become the Prime Minister below one person and above ten thousand people.

"Where's Yun'er?"

Suddenly thinking of his silly daughter, Lu Buwei was still thinking about how to bring the two of them together and win over the boy as soon as possible for deeper cooperation.

"Miss is practicing martial arts in the Herb Garden."

Another killer stepped out to report. He was responsible for monitoring the interior of the mansion and knew everyone's whereabouts and actions.

"Practice martial arts?"

Lu Buwei was surprised and walked towards his daughter's courtyard.

Because that girl was born with a weak body, even if she practiced medical techniques, she was only a little stronger than ordinary people. She was even worse in some aspects. She actually practiced martial arts today?
Is it possible to find a cure for the disease in the arsenal?

I walked slowly outside a courtyard full of flowers and plants. Before I walked in, I saw a cute and flexible figure moving around a wooden man. From time to time, he threw flying needles, which tied the wooden man into a knot. Hedgehog.

This girl was weak and sick at an early age. He spent a lot of money to send her to live with the head of the doctor's family. She also developed the living habits of Master Nian Duan. She has always been frugal and always wore coarse clothes. , the hundreds of herbs in it grow and restrain each other, and the medicinal energy emitted is the most nourishing.

My daughter has not suffered from symptoms in recent years, thanks to this herbal garden.

But it just didn't happen. Once you do strenuous exercise, you will still have symptoms of discomfort, let alone practicing martial arts so quickly.

"Daddy!"

After finishing shooting the silver needles on his body, Lu Xingyun stopped and took a breath. Only then did he find his father standing outside the courtyard gate watching, and hurried over to greet him.

"He made an unintentional mistake that day. There is no need to hold a grudge like this."

Walking into the Baicao Garden, looking at the seven-foot wooden man and the dense silver needles on it, Lu Buwei slammed his mouth to comfort him.

One look at this figure and he knew it was that boy, obviously the girl still had grudges in her mind.

"I won't let that bastard go!"

It's okay if I don't mention someone. When Lu Xingyun is mentioned, he is filled with shame and anger. When he recalls what happened that day, he almost goes crazy.

In this life, there is him without me, and there is me without him!

This hatred made Lu Buwei's eyelids twitch, the girl is not such a stingy temper.

Is it...

"Did he bully you in the arsenal?"

This question made Lu Xingyun unable to hide anymore, his fair and pretty face instantly turned red like blood, and he hurried to speak.

"Father, don't worry about it."

Although she was so angry that she wanted to bite someone, she, Lu Xingyun, would not use her father's power to deal with the lewd thief. She would take revenge with her own hands.

Of course, the most important thing is that you must not let anyone else know, not even your biological father, otherwise you will be embarrassed to death.

"Okay, okay, dad doesn't care anymore, doesn't care anymore!"

Seeing that his daughter was so angry that her head was boiling, Lu Buwei agreed in a funny way, but he was quite satisfied in his heart.

No matter who bullied whom, the two of them had a connection, and it would be logical for them to get married after the king ascended the throne.

As for the current appearance of enemies, that's not a problem, and it can even make the relationship between husband and wife better.

He has seen this kind of example a lot. For marriage, what he fears the most is that there is no connection and no feeling, just like he gave away those concubines, even Zhao Ji back then.

And Lu Xingyun didn't know that he had been betrayed by his father, and he was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to take revenge.

"The arsenal is indeed the accumulation of the Great Qin for hundreds of years. Even Yun'er, a congenital disease like yours, has a cure, and it is so effective."

Looking at the wooden man covered with silver needles again, Lu Buwei was filled with admiration. It was indeed the right thing to let his daughter go to the arsenal, so he could rest assured.

Yun'er's mother was the only woman he ever loved. She died to save him back then. He has always felt guilty. He loved this girl very much, and he had also been suffering from headaches and anxiety about her illness.

Now it's finally over.

"I've made Daddy worried over the years."

Lu Xingyun did not talk about the treatment process and methods, nor did she say that this time it was just a temporary treatment, not the root cause. She didn't want her father to worry about her anymore.

"You're not young anymore. Daddy discussed with His Highness and asked him to accept you as a foster daughter. He told you about our marriage. That person is a rare young hero in Daqin today. He has both civil and military skills, but his appearance is a bit ordinary."

Lu Buwei took the opportunity to talk about the marriage so that his daughter could be mentally prepared.

"If you don't marry in this life, you will stay with your father."

Lu Xingyun didn't follow her anymore, and she also resisted in her heart, and even felt a little inferior.

I am already unclean, how can I marry?

"Haha, what you say now is so sweet. If you fall in love with any brat in the future, your father and I will be thrown away thousands of miles away."

Lu Buwei poked his daughter's fair forehead. This little girl had a sweet mouth.

Not to mention the warmth on Lu Buwei's side, Tian Hao performed light kung fu all the way back to the royal tomb under the escort of Xuan Jian and Six-fingered Black Man. Then Xuanjian went straight to Baiyue, and Six-Fingered Black Man went to the base in Longxi first. , with the Eight Swords of the King of Yue harvested this time.

"Kunwu Excalibur is indeed better than the Eight Swords of the King of Yue."

Inside the Longxi Mine, Mrs. Xu received the Luan Shenjian from the Black Man with Six Fingers, and couldn't put it down.

Chaos God was only the second name of this sword. Its first name was Kunwu Divine Sword. Different from that Kunwu sword, this sword carried the power of wind and thunder. When it was forged, it was made of the rare white ox. The white horse priests the god Kunwu, and then a strong wind rises, and thunder comes to the world. The three elements of heaven, earth and man merge into one to forge this sword.

If you really want to swing it, this sword is better than Yuewang Bajian, it is a top famous sword, not inferior to top famous swords such as Tai'a Longyuan Chunjun.

It's a pity that there are only sword slaves in the net and no sword master, so it is difficult to bring out the true power of this sword. It is a pity that the famous sword is covered in dust!
On the other side, Master Xu was admiring and appreciating the Four Swords of Zhengang Shuishui and Zhanso Soul Destroyer. These were also rare high-grade swords. Next, he had to forge them into pairs, which was a big test for himself.

"Can that kind of inner armor be made?"

The Six-fingered Black Man asked, and he had a side mission this time, which was for Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu, mother and son, to work together to melt the God of Chaos into an inner armor.

"It can be done. That kind of chain mail itself is just rings. It has nothing to do with the hardness and softness of the material. It's just a pity that it is a top-notch famous sword."

Mrs. Xu is very sorry, this kind of top famous sword is rare in the whole history of Central Plains, what a pity.

"His life is more important."

The Black Man with Six Fingers didn't think much of it. Compared with a top-notch famous sword, the life of that cheap disciple was more important.

The sudden thunder that came last time shocked him greatly, as if God was going to destroy that kid. An extra piece of thunder-attributed armor can also provide an extra layer of insurance.

"This workcloth should be useful to you."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Six Fingers Heixia took out the Gongbu sword hidden in his belt.

This sword had been kept at Zhao Ji's place before, but this time the boy brought it out because it was also a steel sword and could be either strong or soft. It should be very helpful for the research on elastic steel.

"Gongbu!"

Hearing Gongbu, Master Xu immediately put down the Duan Shui in his hand, and rushed over to stare at the soft sword with a body as thin as a cicada's wing. This is one of the famous swords in the Eight Desolation.

"A good piece of steel indeed!"

Mrs. Xu took the Gongbu sword and danced a few moves in her hand. She was amazed by the firmness and softness of the sword.

According to legend, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang used Cishan Tieying to cast this sword, and tempered it into steel.

"Help is there, but it's not much use now."

Handing the gongbu sword to her son who was watching eagerly, Mrs. Xu spoke with pride.

"The research is done?"

The Six-Fingered Black Man quickly asked if the elastic steel had really been successfully researched.

"Although it is certainly not the limit of this kind of steel, it is already better than ordinary wooden bow arms!"

Mrs. Xu took down a steel bow hanging on the stone wall and threw it to Six Fingers Heixia. She actually had a clue as early as Baiyue, and after she came back, she just tried some combinations. Naturally, the results will come soon.

While this is certainly not the most perfect proportion, the resulting limb surpasses all existing wooden limbs.

The only pity is that it can only be smelted in small batches, thinking that large-scale smelting still needs a long way to go.

The six-fingered black man caught the steel bow and tried to pull it, but even with his current arm strength, it was difficult, which shows how strong this steel bow is.

"This bowstring..."

He quickly noticed that the silver-white bowstring had a metallic luster similar to that of the bow body, and it was obviously also made of steel.

"It is the steel wire he proposed. The steel skin is cut into thin wires, and after being polished, they are twisted together like hemp rope. Although it is not comparable to silk bowstrings such as silkworm silk and blood silk, it is better than mass-produced. "

Mrs. Xu explained, feeling quite emotional in her heart. She didn't expect that steel could be woven, and its strength was far superior to ordinary bow strings, which was only inferior to sky silk.

However, the production of Celestial Silkworms is very small. To make a bowstring requires the silk threads produced by thousands of Celestial Silkworms. It is too difficult to mass-produce it.

This kind of steel wire is much simpler in comparison, but it needs to be maintained with grease from time to time, otherwise it will easily rust.

This time, if we want to produce a crossbow that is enough to deal with the Qiang Di and Yuezhi armies, we naturally cannot use sky silk. This kind of steel wire comes in handy. Everything is part of the little guy's plan.

"What about the making of arrowheads?"

After trying to pull the steel bow several times, the Six-fingered Black Man asked about the making of arrows, which was also a major point.

"Take you to see!"

Mrs. Xu signaled and walked out, followed closely by the Six-fingered Black Man. Mrs. Xu continued to admire and appreciate the swords, while thinking about how to recast them.

Soon Six Fingers Heixia followed Mrs. Xu to the deep space in the belly of the mountain where the steelmaking blast furnace was located, and saw the assembly line for making arrowheads, but there were only three people making arrowheads.

"Only three people?"

Six Fingers Heixia frowned, three people were too few.

"It's been a lot, and the new way to make arrows is far beyond your imagination."

Mrs. Xu smiled and took the Six-fingered Black Man closer to watch.

I saw a Mohist disciple pushing an initially flattened mold under the mechanism. Then the mechanism dropped a steel plate with tens of thousands of holes to further compact the material inside the mold. Then the mechanism dropped a steel plate with countless spiked arrows. , just pass through the holes in the previous steel plate, and poke holes in the inner material of the mold below.

The finished mold is pushed onto the assembly line, and first passed to a furnace burning with raging flames to raise the temperature of the mold so that the molten steel will not cool down too quickly after it flows in. After the temperature rises, it is sent to the blast furnace.

There was also a Mohist disciple guarding over there, pushing the formwork sent by the conveyor belt under the blast furnace, and starting the mechanism, hot molten steel flowed into the mold.

The molten steel quickly covered the mold. The disciple was also controlling the amount of molten steel. When it was almost done, he turned off the mechanism and then slowly shook the molten steel evenly so that all the arrow holes were filled with molten steel. Finally, only a thin layer of molten steel was left on it. steel skin.

Then the mold was pushed onto another conveyor belt and sent to the other end. It was lifted up by the Mohist disciples guarding there and placed on a huge shelf on the side to slowly cool down. At the same time, the Mohist disciple was also responsible for shaking the cooled molds apart. Reveal the crafted arrow.

The steel sheets with arrows attached were strung together and hung on an iron shelf. From a quick glance, there were at least hundreds of them hanging.

"How many arrows are there in one piece?"

The six-fingered black man was silent for a while after watching this scene before asking. The number made his scalp numb just looking at it, he was afraid it was millions.

“1 arrows per piece, this is just today’s production, we can make 200 million arrows every day.

This is just the first process. After that, the steel frames will be pushed to a nearby furnace to be quenched and tempered to increase their hardness. Finally, they will be polished and connected to the arrow shaft.

There is a kind of tree in this area that is very straight and hard. It is not easily deformed after being divided. The weight is also suitable. It can be used to make arrow shafts, but it requires a lot of manpower. "

Mrs. Xu said it very calmly. After they came back, they jointly designed this assembly line, which was specially used to make arrows.

"Can the gun head do the same?"

The six-fingered black man asked, if the gun head can be made like this, no one in Qin Guozhen can resist it.

If necessary, give all the old Qin people a spear head and let them find a stick to wear on their own. That means all the people are soldiers. Who among the countries in the world can stop them?

"It's OK to throw a spear, but not a long gun. Although this kind of steel is very hard, it is very brittle and can easily break. What the boy pursues for this kind of arrow craft is that it can be used once, and because they are all crossbow arrows, even if they are shot If a foreigner gets it, they won’t be able to use it for a short time.”

Mrs. Xu didn't think highly of this kind of arrow, it was too brittle and hard, it was really just a one-time item, and it was specially used to deal with aliens.

Because those alien races rarely have armor, most of them are just leather armor, which cannot protect against such hard arrows.

"Is it enough to make so many arrows?"

Can't help complaining, the six-fingered black man doesn't know how to evaluate this kind of play that was previously inhumane.

Although bows and arrows are sharp and known as the most common weapon on the battlefield, their production cost is much higher than that of spears and swords. In particular, most arrows are consumables, and even the national level cannot carry too many.

But now, that kid has made it possible to produce them in batches, and the units are still in the tens of thousands.

The 200 million arrows coming down every day will probably accumulate to tens of millions when the war starts.

If you really want to shoot all the tens of thousands of arrows, no matter how many people from Qiangdi and Yuezhi come, they will all be buried.

"Regardless of how fast the arrows can be made, compared to the types of crossbows he designed, these arrows are far behind."

Shaking her head, Mrs. Xu didn't know how to evaluate that boy. His mind was too bright, and the characteristics of the several types of bows and crossbows he designed were amazing. With this kind of arrow production, it was enough to suppress any army, even Wei Wu. Even if the pawn comes over, he will be shot into a hedgehog.

"So cruel?"

Six Fingers Heixia gasped, did he really consume such a large crossbow?
He did know that the boy had learned some mechanics from Mo Ban when he was in Baiyue, and had designed several kinds of bows and crossbows, but he never paid attention to it. It seemed that what the boy had designed was a terrifying weapon.

"You'll know when the battle starts."

Mrs. Xu smiled, and it will definitely surprise everyone.

"The last battle between Baiyue and Chu's army has caused many forces to focus on the method of steelmaking. This battle will be accompanied by those new bows and crossbows. It will definitely attract more people to focus on it. It will be troublesome. .”

Taking a deep breath, Heixia Six Fingers knew that the days of peace and stability were coming to an end, and there were bound to be many forces eyeing the method of steelmaking, even some people inside Qin.

The principle and structure of this kind of bow, crossbow and arrow is not difficult to design, not to mention that their Mohist family also has an old rival, the Gongshu family, whose real core lies in the method of steelmaking, and it is this method of batch steelmaking.

This thing can only form a terrifying power when it reaches a certain scale. If the number is insufficient, no matter how well-designed it is, it is just a show.

"We have deployed three lines of defense. Whoever comes will die."

Hehe sneered, Mrs. Xu was not worried about anyone being able to break in. In this kind of mountain passage, even if a strong person in the Heavenly Realm came, it would be difficult to exert much strength.

When the time comes, in a narrow space, facing powerful arrows with units of tens of thousands fired one after another, the Heavenly Realm will also be shot into a sieve, unless the master of the armored door breaks in.

"That's true."

The six-fingered black man nodded in agreement. After that kind of crossbow was designed, it would definitely be a priority to arm this base.

"Jizi, don't worry about the invasion of foreign enemies. No matter who comes in, and how many people come in, they can make them come and go."

At this moment, Moban walked over and said with a smile, very confident.

In Baiyue before, he never forgot to deduce and perfect the structural design of the organ beast and the organ man. In addition, he got a lot of inspiration from Brother Tian, ​​and he has already produced the main body of the first generation of organ man. Completely done.

With that size, even a strong man in the Heavenly Human Realm is worthy.

Of course, it is not easy to fight against the Heaven and Human Realm. After all, the mechanism creation is much weaker in terms of speed and agility. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless if it cannot be hit.

However, against ordinary masters, it can sweep thousands of armies.

"I feel relieved if you have confidence."

The Six-Fingered Black Man was finally relieved. As long as this base could be defended, the New Mo Family could have a new beginning.

"You have to think carefully about the location of the base with that kid. The quality of this iron ore mine is not good, and the smelting consumes a lot of money. There are no coal veins around, and the efficiency of charcoal made entirely from wood is also very low.

At most, support the end of this battle, and then shape some steel living utensils for the people from Baiyue.

The future is the age of steel. We need to find a place with large iron mines and coal mines as a real mechanism city. The smelting of this kind of elastic steel also requires some special ores, and we also need to find ore veins. "

With a serious look on her face, Mrs. Xu talked about the future site selection. This was just a temporary location in the original idea. They needed a perfect location to build a real machine city.

"The place has been chosen, it's in the land of Bashu."

His expression became more solemn, and Six Fingers Heixia revealed the result of his discussion with the cheap disciple.

"The road to Shu is not easy to walk on."

Mrs. Xu and Ban Mo were both puzzled, why did they choose that place?
"He didn't say it, but you could tell from the look on his face that it was important."

The Six-fingered Black Man didn't know why the disciple chose the land of Bashu, but he chose to support it unconditionally.

What that kid can see is much further than what he, the master, can see.
