Chapter 159 False Zhuge Crossbow
Ma Chao carried the Yuan Rong crossbow and led a group of people to the backyard.

Ma Chao's backyard was originally the place where senior prisoners such as Yang Fu, Han Ying, and Yan Xing were held.Now, among the three people, two and a half are already members of the Ma family.Therefore, at this time, it seemed a little empty and very secluded.

Some of the guards had already been ordered. In the huge courtyard, a few wooden stakes one person tall were erected alone, and a few square wooden boards painted with concentric circles were firmly nailed to the wooden stakes. Everything was ready. , Just waiting for the arrow test.

Ma Chao held the bow and crossbow with both hands, held it flat and tried to aim at the wooden board, and pulled the bow hard, and the bowstring stretched tightly.Then he calmed down and gently pulled the crossbow (trigger).

"Whoosh—" With the first sound, a crossbow bolt was fired.

"Peng!" With a muffled sound, the crossbow was firmly nailed to the wooden board.

Ma Chao pulled the crossbow one after another, and four bolts flew out one after another.Seeing Yun'er on the side, she applauded repeatedly.Yun'er saw the power of this Yuanrong crossbow for the first time, and felt that it was inconceivable that this crossbow machine could fire four arrows in a row.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao shook his head slightly, obviously not satisfied with the crossbow.Ma Chao visually measured the shooting distance of the crossbow, and it was about thirty steps.If he retreated a little further, the crossbow would lose its power.

This kind of firepower is far from what he imagined. Zhao Fei, who had seen the American-style continuous crossbow in his previous life, was a little disappointed with the crossbow in his hand: the reason why Qiang Qin was able to unify the six countries was not only the black iron weapon Victory over bronze weapons.In addition, the powerful crossbow of the Great Qin Empire can defeat thousands of troops, and under thousands of arrows, the lives of people will be ruined.But this Zhuge crossbow, no matter how you look at it, is also a silver spear with a wax tip, which looks useless.

No wonder in the comments of later generations, it is said that the Zhuge crossbow is a steal tool for the people, not a military weapon.

In Ma Chao's vision, his army will be the sharpest compound arms in the late Han Dynasty, and the crossbowmen can only step forward and show off.It would seem too petty to wait until the close combat ran to 30 meters away from others, and then suddenly shoot a tube.Not to mention how many enemy soldiers can be killed, but it is possible to piss off those enemy soldiers...

What's more, at a distance of thirty steps, only one round of crossbow bolts can be fired.In terms of practicality, it is not as good as bows and arrows.

Seeing Ma Chao shaking his head and saying nothing, Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan felt uneasy: it took a month of hard work, and they thought they had figured out the secret left by the young master, but they didn't think about it, and they still couldn't satisfy the young master.Originally, I wanted to rely on this to make up for my mistakes, but now it's a waste of time...

"Master Pu and Master Zheng, both of you have worked hard!" Ma Chao saw that the two were depressed, and he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the scientific madman he had personally selected, so he hurriedly expressed his comfort.

"Young master, I don't know what else to improve on this Yuan Rong crossbow?" Pu Yuan asked sincerely after thinking about it.

Ma Chao was thinking hard at this time, and his mind was full of recalling the introduction of Zhuge Nu on TV. Suddenly, he remembered a passage in the introduction: Zhuge Nu was later improved by the great inventor Ma Jun. It became a five-arrow crossbow, which greatly reduced its size and weight, and became an individual weapon. However, because the production was very complicated and the arrows used had to be specially made, it was not mass-produced and was later lost.

Ma Chao is not worried about the problem of special arrows. The iron ore in Beidi County has already started mining.Fufeng County's smelting technology has also matured, and the power of steel nails is not much worse than that of bows and arrows.The only requirement is the power of the crossbow.

"Can this shooting range be further? Can the beef tendon bowstring be thicker, or use double-strand beef tendon?" Ma Chao asked, wondering if his nonsense could give these two some inspiration.

"By the way, can this crossbow machine be equipped with a sight? Yes, it's here." Ma Chao added another sentence as he spoke, pointing to the top of the crossbow.

"Well, also, can this crossbow be stronger and sharper?" The power has increased, and this light crossbow can't scratch the enemy's itch.

Ma Chao's series of questions made Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan overwhelmed.Zheng Hun inspected the crossbow in his hand, his eyes were firm and heavy, as if he wanted to see the oil in the crossbow.

"Young master, let me think about it again. We will work hard to make what you want." Pu Yuan also patted his chest and replied resolutely.

The dedication of the two made Ma Chao feel relieved: the person I personally promoted is simply neat!At the end of the Han Dynasty, there should be a few more madmen like them!
"Okay, remember, if you have the conditions, you have to do it, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to do it!" Ma Chao patted the shoulders of the two men, and had to admit that this simple and yet defiant slogan really inspired motivation. Looking at the two The look of excitement and determination on his face was obvious.

The direction of research and development has been specified, so Ma Chao waved his hand and let the two go back to study.

With the growing size of the Ma family property, Ma Chao also has a new concept of management.The fact that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan smelted fine steel gave him a great inspiration: that is, the wisdom of the ancients was by no means lower than his half bottle of water, on the contrary, it was much higher.Without him, these people can still invent across the century, and they can invent even better!

As a result, Ma Chao delegated power more and more, and for everything, he only mentioned ideas and directions.The specific measures and methods will be perfected and implemented by the subordinates.I am only responsible for the subsequent evaluation and acceptance. In this way, not only the work efficiency does not drop, but also Ma Chao has more leisure time.

For example, Xinping County and Beidi County are also implementing new policies, training county soldiers, developing technology, returning fields to farmers, and reclaiming wasteland.However, Ma Chao did not intervene in these matters at all. The newly appointed Su Ze was in charge of Xinping County, and the land leader Chu Youchu was in charge of Beidi County. Help each other to create a harmonious and magnificent Majia Yongzhou new chapter.

It’s okay to plan and guide by yourself, but if you don’t delegate power, how can you develop a capable official for the future?The practice of not taking care of everything, big or small, can only make yourself the second Zhuge Liang, and you will be exhausted to death.In this way, how can I have time to do big things?How can there be time to soak up all the beauties at the end of Han Dynasty?

I have to say that even though he crossed over and became a leader, the laziness of modern people is still deeply imprinted in Ma Chao's bones.Ma Chao doesn't want to be such a fool if he can't sneak away when he can.As for the later stage of Ma's Group, Ma Chao, who was not lazy, established a complete and effective supervision system, and finally brought the modern operating mechanism of separation of powers, mutual supervision, and mutual restraint, so that he could fully realize his own The big idea of ​​"govern by doing nothing".

However, at this time, he did not have the kind of majesty and cunning.At this time, after he figured this out, he became a smug fledgling, and walked towards Yun'er's room with a wretched smile, taking advantage of the spring feeling left in his dream.

Not long after, the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month can't stop the room full of beautiful spring...
