Chapter 251: Various Bows and Crossbows
Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang nodded slightly, and both thought Qin An's words made sense. As long as the people had enough to eat and drink, how could there be war in China? Without war, the population would continue to increase.
It's just that the number 1.4 billion shocked them, but they didn't pursue it. Everyone knew Qin An's true identity, and no one was sure how many people there would be in China in the future.
"Sir, can we test it now?" Meng Sheng asked impatiently.
Qin An, who had already assembled the machine shield, said excitedly: "That's it."
Qin An was seen wearing the mechanism shield on his left hand.
The appearance of the mechanism shield is like a round turtle shell. This is the core of the shield. It is about five centimeters thick and ten centimeters in diameter. It is a little heavy and a bit big when worn on the hand.
There are three buttons on Shield Heart's body, which are red, yellow and blue.
I saw Qin An pressing the yellow button, and the shiny steel pieces ejected. There were seven pieces of fine steel in total, each piece was in the shape of a scimitar, seamlessly connected to form a circular shield.
The diameter of the shield suddenly became twenty centimeters.
Then Qin An pressed the blue button, and another steel piece popped out. The shield turned into a forty centimeter round shield.
Finally, Qin An pressed the red button, and all the iron pieces were quickly put away.
The reason why this can be done is that there are mechanisms in the mechanism shield, among which the spring plays an important role.
"It's done, great, we're done." Gong Shuyang said excitedly.
Meng Sheng's whole body trembled, which was caused by excitement. He said tremblingly: "It's done, it's happened. I never thought I could succeed in one go."
The two of them seemed very excited. They learned some skills from Qin An, skills that they had never been exposed to before.
Although some children of public losers already know how to use springs, they don't know it.
At this time, Qin An touched the shield and said, "It's not a success yet. Although its shape already looks like a shield, we don't know what its endurance is.
Now, we just have to test the shield's endurance. As long as the shield can withstand thirty bows and arrows, it is considered qualified.
An archer usually only has ten arrows in his quiver, or at most twenty. And a person will be exhausted after pulling a bow and shooting thirty times, so we tested thirty arrows. "
"Sir, your analysis is correct." Meng Sheng said, "Let's build a bow and arrow now for people to test."
Qin An said: "It's better to just use crossbows. I was going to make crossbows for special forces, and now is the time."
"Sir, we already have bows and crossbows, why do we need to build them again?" Gongshu Jia said.
Qin An shook his head and said: "I know you have them, and I believe your crossbows are the Qin crossbows from the Qin Dynasty.
This crossbow is too big to carry.
Special forces operations require sufficient flexibility. How can you have such flexibility with such a large crossbow?
But you are right, it is best to use the Qin crossbow to test the mechanism shield. Mr. Lao, please go get a crossbow.
Go and call Lao Zhang over, and bring the bows and arrows at the same time, and try out the crossbows and bows and arrows. "
"Okay, I'll go now." Gong Shuyang said first.
Immediately afterwards, the person left.
Meng Sheng watched Gong Shuyang leave. He had no intention of getting the crossbow. The reason was simple. He had just arrived in the village and was not familiar with it.
Taking advantage of Gong Shuyang's time to call for help, Qin An had someone make another mechanical shield, but the steel plate was thickened by about one centimeter.
And the shell of the box is a little thinner.
Through the demonstration of the mechanism shield just now, Qin An knew that this mechanism shield could be optimized and even a better mechanism shield could be created.
However, this is something that will happen in the future. Qin An can't build it right now, it will take a few days.
Qin An himself started discussing bows and crossbows with Meng Sheng.
"Mr. Meng Sheng, do you know the range of Qin Nu?"
Meng Sheng thought for a while and replied: "The longest distance is seventy meters. Generally, within fifty meters, you can achieve perfect accuracy."
Qin An nodded and said, "That means the effective range is fifty meters."
"That's right."
"It's a pity that I can only shoot one crossbow arrow at a time." Qin An said regretfully, "Now I want to invent a repeating crossbow that can hold fifty crossbow arrows at a time.
In other words, you can shoot arrows all the time, and there is no need to install any more crossbow arrows until all fifty crossbow arrows are fired.
In this way, it is more powerful and more lethal than the Qin Nu. "
Repeating crossbow, a crossbow that fires continuously, can be equipped with fifty crossbow arrows.
Oh my god, is this gentleman going to build a war artifact?
When the Six Kingdoms had such crossbows, the Qin Dynasty's arrow array lost its power.
As we all know, part of the reason why the Qin Army's combat power is so strong is the Qin Army's arrow formation, which consists of bows and crossbows.
Before the two armies started to fight, the Qin army's round of bows and crossbows directly wiped out some of the opponent's people.
This greatly damaged the morale of the enemy army, causing the Qin army to defeat the opponent every time, and finally unified the six kingdoms, and the world became the world of Qin.
However, a few years after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Meng Sheng unexpectedly learned that there were crossbows such as Liannu in the world.
"Sir, can you make a repeating crossbow?" Meng Sheng asked excitedly.
Qin An nodded and said: "Of course it can, but I don't want to design a large repeating crossbow, because the repeating crossbow is large in size and heavy and cannot be used by a single soldier.
What I want to design is a lightweight repeating crossbow, which is very small in size and weight.
Of course, the range is also short, only less than twenty meters, and the effective range is only less than ten meters.
Its advantage is that it is easy to carry and can be used by individual soldiers, making it very suitable for use by special forces. "
"Sir, teach me." Meng Sheng said excitedly, "Whether it is a large repeating crossbow or a light repeating crossbow, I want to learn it."
"That's no problem." Qin An said, "I will draw the drawings, and then Mr. Meng Sheng and Mr. Gongshu will complete it together.
Not only the repeating crossbow, I will also invent the bed crossbow. The effective range of this bed crossbow can reach a distance of one thousand meters. "
"So far?" Meng Sheng was shocked. "At such a long distance, no one can see clearly. Can it hit the opponent?"
"Why do you have to worry about a target a thousand meters away? Why don't you look for a target within a hundred meters?
Being able to shoot a thousand meters shows that it is powerful. The closer the target is, the more powerful the crossbow arrow is and can penetrate the enemy.
A crossbow arrow might be able to kill four or five enemies, and the bed crossbow was one of the best weapons against cavalry. "Qin An explained.
"Is the bed crossbow as big as a bed?"
"There shouldn't be this one, but half of it must be there. If you like, I can draw it too." Qin An said.
"Thank you sir."
Immediately, Qin An began to draw drawings again.
He is also a military enthusiast. Qin An likes both hot weapons and cold weapons, so he also researches cold weapons and long-range weapons.
Some people died, but not completely...
