Chapter 166 True Zhuge Crossbow
"Young master, it's done, it's done!" Ma Chao just stepped into the gate of the arsenal, and Zheng Hun who was waiting at the door was full of excitement and shouted repeatedly.

Ma Chao has been in a bad mood recently, not because of anything else, but because the old man Cai Yong has started to make trouble again.

Cai Yong's fuss is the discovery of Cai Yan and Ma Chao's private lifelong affair.Originally, only heaven and earth knew about this matter, and Ma Chaozhi and Cai Yan knew about it, but a letter from Hedong Wei's family made this good thing known to the whole world.

A few days ago, Cai Yong received a letter from Hedong Wei's family saying that Wei Ning and Wei Zhongdao were ill.Wanting to marry Cai Yan, she was very happy.Cai Yong is a stubborn old man, even if it's his daughter's happiness, he doesn't want to lose his reputation.Therefore, he went to Cai Yan to discuss the matter.

If there is no visit to Fufeng, Cai Yan also obeyed Cai Yong and married Wei Ning in history. After a few days of marriage, Wei Ning had her braids up, and Cai Yan became a widow.

But the problem is that during his visit to Fufeng County, Ma Chao's figure has been deeply imprinted in Cai Yan's heart.At this moment, Cai Yong mentions any nonsense about marriage and parents' orders, how can this make the ignorant Cai Yan submit?With no other choice, Cai Yong had no choice but to make his own decisions and planned to go to Ma Chao to say goodbye.

The reason why Ma Chao is not looking for Ma Teng is because Cai Yong is also a sensible person.He has long seen who is in charge of the Ma family, but it is precisely because of his cleverness that he missed his own clever calculation.How could Ma Chao let Cai Yan go to Wei's house to be a widow? In a fit of anger, he yelled out his intention to marry Cai Yan.

Although Cai Yong was old, his temper was not old. He pointed at Ma Chao's nose and began to curse, saying that Ma Chao had no sense of shame and did not understand the etiquette of saints.And Ma Chao is not the one who suffers, he has already developed a good mouth in the parliament, and scolds Cai Yongming for being stubborn and trying to gain fame.The two finally broke up unhappy, and the final result was that Cai Yong's front and back gates were guarded by dozens of Ma family elite soldiers, with a radius of ten miles, and there were shadows watching secretly...

After Cai Yong went back, he scolded Cai Yan again, and Cai Yan is also the kind of woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She actually said that she had performed the ceremony of Zhou Gong with Ma Chao, and Cai Yong was so angry that she wanted to beat Cai Yan to death.Fortunately, Brother Chou was alert, and immediately brought his shadow into Cai's mansion, and hijacked Cai Yan to come out.

This is good, Cai Yong is like crazy, scolding Ma Chao; Han Ying is also like crazy, scolding Ma Chao after learning about this; as for Yun'er, she almost went crazy, but she was very happy going crazy...

Ma Chao came to the arsenal today after being angry with Cai Yong.Although it is impossible to substitute personal feelings into work, there is always something wrong with my heart.Under the shadow of a cup bow and a snake, he thought Zheng Hun was mocking himself for what he and Cai Yan had failed to accomplish.Immediately, with a flick of his face, he wanted to scold.

However, both Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan are the kind of crazy inventors, and they are not very good at observing words and demeanor.Fortunately, their informality saved them from being scolded.Because Zheng Hun didn't wait for Ma Chao to speak out, he continued:
"Young Master, the True Essence Rong Crossbow is done! Even the Bed Crossbow is done!" Zheng Hun said excitedly.

"Ah!" Ma Chao was so happy that his mind was blinded, he immediately came back to his senses, and dragged Zheng Hun to the research and development room of the arsenal.

"I didn't dare to underestimate the ancient craftsmen, but I didn't want to. They still have room to create miracles! But, what does the 'true Yuan Rong crossbow' mean? Is it the same as the equipment in the game, and it can be divided into imitations?"

In the research and development secret room, Pu Yuan, who has been reinstated as an official, has red and swollen eyes, a messy bun, and his clothes are covered with dust and sawdust, which has been rubbed out of shape.The few craftsmen who started the work also looked exhausted.Seeing this, Ma Chao was a little surprised: When will Pu Yuan become a carpenter?
In fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, iron smelting and woodware were rarely separated, and most of them knew everything.Ma Chao didn't know that Pu Yuan built the tiles himself for the construction of the kang ground dragon...

This is not the time to think about these things. Seeing that the craftsmen were so tired, Ma Chao knew that these two master craftsmen led the craftsmen and stayed up many long nights for this crossbow.Seeing the scene in front of him, Ma Chao's nose felt sore, and his throat was a little choked with emotion.Thinking of that old man Cai Yong made his teeth itch with anger.

Those sour Confucians at the end of the Han Dynasty could fill in a few poems and guess a few riddles, thinking that they were talented, but their fart knowledge did not help the progress of science and technology, the development of human beings, or the improvement of productivity.On the contrary, it is really stupid to ignore the ethics of human relations and only know how to gain fame, loyalty and filial piety.

Looking at the craftsmen such as Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun, Ma Chao felt that they were ten times, a hundred times stronger than Cai Yong's sour scholars!
However, Confucianism has its merits, and it is not right to throw all the children and dirty water away.The central ideas of loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness, and benevolent love are still very helpful to social morality.However, Ma Chao at this moment has already had the idea of ​​​​breaking those crooked Confucian ideas.I plan to write the mathematics, geometry, biology, history, geography and other knowledge I have learned in elementary and junior high schools into a book for children to learn, gradually ease the atmosphere of the end of Han Dynasty, establish an atmosphere of equal emphasis on arts and sciences, and slowly change everything.

"Every craftsman, you have worked hard." Ma Chao greeted everyone without asking about bows and crossbows. Naturally, he paid a lot of attention to details.After everyone returned their salutes, Ma Chao asked Pu Yuan: "Master Pu, I heard from Master Zheng that the True Yuan Rong Crossbow has been completed?"

"Report to the young master, the subordinates are not talented. Last night, the Yuan Rong crossbow made a small success. Please also ask the young master to test it." Pu Yuanyuan's confident voice could not hide his excitement.

In the center of the secret room, under a large red cloth, lies quietly the masterpieces made by several craftsmen with all their painstaking efforts.Zheng Hun stepped forward and lifted the red cloth with a bang, a brand new portable Yuanrong crossbow and a frightening bed crossbow appeared in front of Ma Chao. The body of the crossbow made of fine steel shone coldly.

Ma Chao mentioned the Yuan Rong crossbow, and found that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan had made the arrow box smaller, and there were only five arrow slots left.That's half the weight.Pu Yuan handed over the crossbow and explained: "Young master, this crossbow has also been improved to make it more powerful than before."

Ma Chao picked up the crossbow and looked at it carefully. He saw that the crossbow, which was as big as bamboo chopsticks, was made into a hexagonal shape with extremely sharp tips. There were several deep bloodletting grooves between the edges of the arrow body. Ma Chao even felt this. The sharpness of an arrow piercing the flesh and the viciousness of bloodthirsty.He held the crossbow arrow in his hand, thinking: "No matter how strong a man is, if he is shot by this arrow, he will hardly escape."

The five arrow grooves of the Yuan Rong crossbow were polished to a shiny shine, the double-strand tendon was extremely tough, and a simple sight was cleverly installed on the upper arrow box. This crossbow can fire twenty crossbow arrows in succession. Accuracy, extreme power is unmatched.

Ma Chao randomly compared and felt that the bow and crossbow could penetrate a wooden target of [-] paces, and he was very happy: the cavalry charge only needs [-] paces to complete the accelerated movement, while the heavy cavalry can complete the acceleration movement within [-] paces. Throw the javelins outside, and after the javelins are thrown, use the Yuanrong crossbow to shoot upwards, the enemy army has already collapsed without having to charge!
"Young master, here are the continuous bed crossbows that I and several craftsmen are trying to make according to your guidance and the improvement of the city defense crossbow. Please check it out, young master." Pu Yuan stroked the bed crossbow, full of tears A cherished look.

Putting down the Yuanrong crossbow, Ma Chao was deeply shocked by the crossbow: the body of the crossbow is about two meters long, and the eight-strand tendon is twisted into a bowstring.Looking at the crossbow arrows that Pu Yuan handed over, they were about the length of an arm and the thickness of a finger.If shot by this crossbow arrow, even iron armor would be hard to resist, and the internal organs of humans and animals would be smashed to pieces.

"Young master, how about these two artifacts now?" After telling Ma Chao the test results of the bed crossbow and Yuanrong crossbow, Zheng Hun cautiously asked Ma Chao for his opinion.

Ma Chao thought for a while, and knew that the time to inspire people's hearts had come, and he replied loudly: "Master Zheng, Master Pu and all other great craftsmen, please accept my bow from Ma Chao!" Ma Chao then bowed down.

"How dare I be the young master to bow!" Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and the craftsmen hurriedly moved away from the direction of Ma Chao's bow.

"Everyone deserves a bow for your hard work!" Ma Chao replied sincerely, and then said in a loud voice: "Today, the arsenal produced another magic weapon. I am very relieved. I will pass on an order to let the craftsmen of each battalion rest for half a day, and cook rare chicken soup in the kitchen. Tonic for all craftsmen!"

Due to the expansion of the arsenal, the number of bellows also increased greatly.Poor those hundreds of plucked fat chickens can only be marinated and stored in the kitchen.At this time, it just came in handy to reward the hard-working craftsmen.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the courtyard of the arsenal, except for Ma Chao's heroic figure.The rest is a steaming scene of eating, and all the craftsmen are sweating and eating...

"This chicken soup is good. I have a new invention in the future, and I will make another bowl." Before leaving, Ma Chao said so.
