Nie Chen's words made Mo Xun nod his head repeatedly.
"That makes sense. It makes sense. Just adding two wooden boards and a rope won't increase the load too much. That's okay."
Nie Chen nodded, came to the front of the borrowed car again, and said,
“This borrowed car is a larger and more stable trebuchet, but the base is larger and more solid.
But look at this, there is almost no room for people to stand in front, only two or three soldiers can stand. It is very laborious to pull up a load of several hundred kilograms.
We can change manpower into torsion, add a bearing and a log to the base, and wrap the rope around it, so that two people rotate the bearing and the rope is wrapped around to pull up the weight-bearing stone.
Then add an iron hook to the central axis, and a shackle to the lever. After the lever is pulled down, fix it with the iron hook, and then slowly put the stone bullet on it. When launching, just The iron hook slapped down, loosening the bearing of the rope, and the weight directly drove the stone out. "
"Yes! Yes! That's great!"
Mo Xun clapped his hands repeatedly when he heard this, his eyes brightened, he hugged Nie Chen and said,
"Mr. Nie has a quick mind and understands so many mechanical structures. He is really talented. You should really go to our Mohist headquarters and have a good exchange of inventions with those Mohists."
Nie Chen smiled and waved his hand and said,
"No, my wisdom alone is not as good as the culmination of so many generations of yours. Now that we are busy with wars, we still have to focus on fighting.
But when I have time, I can go to your Mo house and pay a visit.
Young Master Mo, look at you, you know so much about the research and development of machinery and weapons, and here at our side, the imperial court has not yet appointed the Secretary of State. I think you are the most suitable person to fill this position. "
Hearing this, Mo Xun scratched his hair and said,
"There are quite a few people in our Mo family who are officials, but they are all Mo Zhe and Mo Bian. We Mo Xia are all chivalrous and righteous people traveling around the world. It is not good for me to be an official in your side.
What's more, I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to be restricted. Thank you for your support, Lord Marquis. "
Nie Chen is a person who loves talents. If he sees anyone who has the ability, he must recruit him. This is true for people like Ouyang Ming, Ning Wushuang, Zhou An and Zhou Ping.
When you meet Mo Xun now, how can you let him run away?
"Young Master Mo, as far as I know, the Mo family has always regarded the common people of the world as their own responsibility, but now, the national thieves have rebelled and usurped the country. Our country, Dafeng, is in ruins, and the emperor is not allowed to return to the capital.
The people have been suffering from war for many years. They are in dire straits and their thoughts are full of wind.
Why do you care about your body and not serve your country loyally?
I invite you here, not for myself, nor to restrain you, but for the sake of all the people in the world, for the unification of the wind, and for the common people to no longer suffer from war.
What's more, I won't restrict you in anything. You can just do research and development in logistics, and I won't let you go to the battlefield to charge into battle. "
After Mo Xun thought for a while, he clasped his hands and bowed,
"In that case, I would like to thank Lord Nie. Please rest assured, Lord Nie, I will definitely make more of these weapons to help the court and defeat the unjust masters.
When I was free, I wrote a letter and sent it back to the Mo family, asking those Mohists who are good at creating things to come over and serve the court together. "
"Okay, okay, that's great. The court and the people really need talents like you."
"Mr. Nie, the rope plus bearing you just mentioned suddenly gave me inspiration. I found that if this technology is well developed, it can be used in broken military crossbows.
We can change the manual winding of the broken military crossbow to a torque one, which can increase the number of strings of the weapon and increase the launch speed. "
"Yes, when you said that, I also remembered it. Let's go and see the broken military crossbow."
…
Seeing Nie Chen and Mo Xun chatting in full swing, the generals could only watch. Mo Waner yawned out of boredom and looked at the generals.
She pulled Zhou An and asked,
"Hey, Zhou An, I heard that you have four powerful generals here. Who are they?"
"Four powerful generals? I don't know. I only know one powerful general, and that is me, Zhou An."
Zhou An smiled triumphantly.
Ma Niubi rolled his eyes and said,
"Why don't you go and die? You ate Lin Guang's Lin family gun, Yue Dongwen's Yue family sword, and my Ma family swordsmanship?"
"The Lin family gun? Do you have a descendant of the Lin family gun here?"
Mo Wan'er became interested instantly.
"Yes, that's him."
Ma Niubi pushed Lin Guang out.
Mo Waner held a spear in her hand, puffed out her not-so-large chest, and said proudly,
"Are you the descendant of the Lin family gun? Do you dare to compete with me? Let's see who is more powerful."
"Don't dare, you win."
Lin Guang had seen Ouyang Ming's mistakes and had no intention of getting entangled with this little girl.
However, he still greatly underestimated Mo Waner's persistence.
"Ahem, don't go. It's a competition. Are you scared? Don't you dare to fight me?"
Mo Waner quickly grabbed Lin Guang's armor.
"It's not that I don't dare, I don't hit women."
"Don't underestimate women. There are no distinctions between men and women on the battlefield. Will the enemy let me go just because I am a woman?
Come on, come on, I just want to see who is more powerful, your Lin family gun or my fire-refined magic gun.
If you don't dare to fight me, I will pester you every day. "
Having seen Mo Wan'er's ability to pester people, Lin Guang was afraid from the bottom of his heart. If he went on a date with Li Lian from now on, it would be inappropriate to have Mo Wan'er by his side.
There was no other way, Lin Guang could only nod and said,
"Okay then, let's stop here."
"Okay, come on!"
Mo Waner and Lin Guang came to the middle of the martial arts arena. She was holding a fiery red spear, and Lin Guang was holding a pure white steel spear. After the two said hello, they began to fight.
This battle surprised Lin Guang.
Not only was he surprised by the opponent's superb marksmanship, but he was also surprised by the opponent's mouth!
"watch out!"
"One shot to start a prairie fire! Don't run! Take my shot!"
"Watch the moves! Moon-breaking, cloud-chasing, star-chasing, sun-roaring!"
"Watch the moves! Wind-returning gun, wind-controlling gun, wind-piercing gun, blazing wind gun!"
"Watch the moves! Break the air force, break the shadow force, break the enemy's force, break the formation!"
"Watch the move! A fire will start a prairie fire, a spark will start a prairie fire, a prairie fire will start a prairie fire~~A hundred cuts!"
"Don't run away, come over here and take advantage of my strongest move! Refined by fire with a divine spear, I'll have fun all night long!"
Lin Guang was knocked back by Mo Wan'er's shot, then stabilized his body, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but frown and said,
"Girl, I admit that your marksmanship is very good, but do you always talk like this on the battlefield? Do you expect to kill the enemy with your cannon?"
"Humph, what do you know? This is called momentum!"
Mo Waner kicked the tail of the gun, put it on her shoulder, and struck a handsome pose.
