Chapter 268: Rotating Thunderbolt Catapult
Ma Jun made many inventions and creations in handicrafts, agriculture, military and other aspects, but he was depressed from his youth to his old age.
Although many of Ma Jun's inventions and creations did not receive the attention of the imperial court, they were welcomed by the working people. His achievements and reputation have been praised by the working people for thousands of years.
Among all the non-civilian and military talents in the late Han Dynasty, Qin Hao wanted to recruit Ma Jun, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji the most.
Qin Hao originally thought that Ma Jun was from the Mo family, and felt that it was almost impossible to recruit Ma Jun, so he had basically given up. But who would have thought that Ma Jun was actually from the Gong family, which gave Qin Hao a chance.
Liu Ye has been subdued by Qin Hao, and with Liu Ye's relationship and Liu Ye's help, the possibility of subduing Ma Jun is still very high.
But Qin Hao didn't expect Ma Jun to have such a great background. He was the grandson of Ma Yan, a great craftsman, and the grandson of Ma Rong, a famous scholar. These two people were quite famous, especially Ma Rong who had served as the governor of Nanyang during his lifetime.
It seems that the Ma family in Liangzhou is the real controller of the Gong family. So what is the relationship between Ma Teng and the Gong family? Qin Hao thought to himself.
Ma Rong's ancestor was General Fubo Ma Yuan, and Ma Teng was also a descendant of Ma Yuan, so it is not difficult for people to make wild guesses about the relationship between the Ma family and Ma Teng.
But after thinking deeply, Qin Hao realized that he might have thought too much. Ma Teng was just a collateral descendant of the Ma family, and he had openly rebelled against Han Sui and others. Although he was later recruited, he always kept a low profile with the Gong family. The method doesn't match, so it shouldn't be Gongjia's hidden son.
The relationship between the Bai family and the Aristocratic family is complicated, and even a smart person like Qin Hao can't help but feel a headache because there is too little information to analyze anything of meaningful value.
Qin Hao originally wanted to recruit Ma Jun, but Ma Jun had such a complicated background, which made Qin Hao feel that Ma Jun was not easy to recruit.
"Lord, have you ever heard of the senior brother's name?" Liu Ye asked doubtfully. The senior brother he knew was a taciturn person who was not very famous outside.
"No, I just didn't expect that Lord Ma Rong's grandson would be the heir to the Gong family." Qin Hao quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Zi Yang, how much do you know about the Baijia?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye immediately smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, if you want to know about the affairs of the hundreds of families, you might as well ask Lord Wang. What Ye knows is limited to the Gong family, but Lord Wang is involved in all the hundreds of families."
When Qin Hao heard this, he immediately resented Wang Yue and looked at him, but Wang Yue turned his head away from Qin Hao.
Qin Hao naturally knew that Wang Yue was the person responsible for the affairs of hundreds of families, but Qin Hao dismissed Wang Yue as soon as he asked Wang Yue about the secrets of the empire, which made Qin Hao crazy.
"Forget it, increasing the production of Pili cars is the top priority." Qin Hao shook his head and looked very helpless, and then asked: "I wonder where Mr. Ma Jun is now? If he is too far away, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up!"
"My lord, don't worry, senior brother Ma Jun is currently in Luoyang." Liu Ye smiled slightly and said confidently: "Some of the actions of the court made senior brother Ma Jun very dissatisfied, but if Ye goes to request it in person, I think senior brother will definitely betray Ye. A thin noodle.”
"Then please leave it to Ziyang."
Then Qin Hao, Wang Yue and Liu Ye went to invite Ma Jun together. After arriving at Ma Jun and waiting for an hour, Qin Hao finally met the inventor king of the late Han Dynasty.
Ma Jun is younger than Qin Hao imagined, about in his twenties, with a very ordinary appearance, the kind that can't be recognized even if he is standing in a crowd.
Waiting for an hour made Qin Hao's sense of Ma Jun much worse. Qin Hao originally thought that Ma Jun was staged, but later found out that he was not a big fan, but just an excuse for not wanting to help.
Liu Ye tried his best to talk and talk, but Ma Jun reluctantly agreed to help. This was because of his old friendship, which showed how dissatisfied Ma Jun was with the court.
Qin Hao never showed any intention of soliciting from the beginning to the end, because he knew that the current Gongjia was not something he could recruit. He could only build a good relationship first, and only after the situation became clear could he obtain the trust of Ma Jun and the Gongjia. support.
When Ma Jun learned that Liu Ye had actually developed a new catapult, he was immediately interested, so the four of them immediately went to the craftsman's workshop.
Liu Hong has fully entrusted the task of building the catapult to Qin Hao, so now Qin Hao is responsible for all the craftsman interviews. After arriving at the craftsman workshop, it was really an eye-opener for Qin Hao.
After four years of vigorous discovery, the Yanmen Craftsman's Workshop is only one-fifth the size of Luoyang, and the Luoyang Craftsman's Workshop alone has nearly 10,000 craftsmen, not counting more apprentices.
Qin Hao estimates that if all the ore materials are available, the productivity of your Luoyang craftsman's workshop can produce 5,000 long knives, 10,000 spears, and 50,000 arrows in one day...
Since Qin Wen led the army to Hulao Pass, the Luoyang Craftsman Workshop has stopped all operations and is specifically responsible for building a series of materials used to defend the city, and then transporting them all to Hulao Pass to ensure that there will be no shortage of materials to defend the city.
In the craftsman's workshop, Ma Jun held the blueprint of the Thunderbolt Car and said to Liu Ye excitedly: "Junior brother, you are amazing. Why didn't I realize that you have such a talent in mechanism skills before!"
Ma Jun did not stutter when he spoke. Qin Hao estimated that the stuttering was a problem he had when he was a teenager, but like Deng Ai, he overcame it as an adult.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With senior brother here, who dares to say that he is talented in the art of mechanism?"
Liu Ye's words can be said to express the pain in the hearts of all Gongjia disciples.
Ma Jun's talent in mechanical skills was simply terrifying. He overshadowed Liu Ye and all the younger brothers from the Gong family, and the others could only lag behind.
"How could it be possible? With this thunderbolt car, you can see that my junior brother is not inferior to me at all."
"What the hell, senior brother is overly praised."
Although Liu Ye spoke modestly, he was also slightly proud in his heart. After all, he had been suppressed for so long, and now he was recognized by Ma Jun. Liu Ye was still very happy.
"But your Thunderbolt car is not perfect yet, and there is a lot of room for improvement."
Liu Ye sighed in his heart, he really couldn't hide it from his senior brother.
"I wonder if senior brother has any magic tricks?"
"Look." Ma Jun pointed at the drawing and gushed: "If a mechanical wooden wheel is installed here, and the wheel is mechanically driven to rotate quickly, the big rocks can be launched one after another, which will save a lot of money. Time for filling, and..."
Liu Ye and Ma Jun were talking in a lively manner, and Qin Hao and Wang Yue couldn't get in the conversation. However, after hearing what they said, Qin Hao was immediately amazed.
Ma Jun is really awesome. He came up with the idea of a rotating catapult after just a few questions. No, it should be called a rotating catapult now. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
