"Swish swish!"
"Swish swish!"
"Swish swish!"
A series of flying needles shot out like a violent storm.
The dense flying needles turned the wooden dummy not far ahead into a hedgehog.
Although compared to later generations of automatic rifles, this speed is like a turtle speed.
But this is the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago.
It is already very good to have such an effect.
Therefore, when the heavy rain pear blossom needle was shot, everyone including Zhao Hao, Laifu, Chang Wei, Yan Le and others opened their eyes wide.
Mo Ku touched his nose and said a bit irritably: "What do you think, Master?"
"Well...."
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, smacked his lips, tilted his head and said, "How come you made the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle so quickly?"
"this....."
Mo Ku scratched his head and looked at Mo Xuan sideways: "It's all thanks to Junior Sister Mo Xuan. He wrote a letter and asked the teacher for help..."
"Your teacher?"
Zhao Hao said in surprise: "Is it senior Deng Lingzi?"
"Yes."
Mo Xuan nodded: "Teacher is very interested in you and hopes to have the opportunity to meet you."
"So, you Mo family are very interested in my proposal?"
Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
He had not restricted the freedom of Senior Brother Mo Xuan before, he just wanted them to contact the Mo Family Headquarters.
Only in this way can a message of goodwill be sent to the Mohist headquarters and show their sincere attitude of cooperation.
Now that he heard that Brother Mo Xuan and his sister asked for help from the Mo Family Headquarters, he suddenly felt like there was a bright future.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, there will be situations where the younger ones are beaten and the older ones come.
The younger one couldn't make it, so the older one came to help.
Really interesting.
"The teacher didn't say anything else, he just wants to see you."
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Mo Xuan shook his head slightly.
Zhao Hao frowned: "You can see me, but you have to come to Xianyang, and I can't see you anywhere else."
After saying that, he paused and then continued: "In addition, no matter how you made your Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, since I agreed to your request, let me tell you, what do you want?"
"this....."
Mo Xuan and Mo Ku looked at each other and were silent for a moment. The latter then cupped his hands towards Zhao Hao and said, "Master, the teacher asked us to stay with you until he meets you."
"But I don't have anyone around me, what can you do?" Zhao Hao asked with a dull expression.
Mo Xuan pouted and muttered, "I knew you didn't have good intentions..."
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted, spread his hands and said: "I don't care, you can leave at any time, no one will stop you."
"Sir, is there anything more difficult than Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle?"
"Brother!"
Mo Kulian asked unexpectedly, which immediately aroused Mo Xuan's dissatisfaction.
Mo Ku chuckled, scratched his head and said: "Although the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle was made with the help of the teacher, my Mo family is very interested in the "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the hands of the master. I wonder if I can let my Mo family study the novel objects on it. ?”
Ha ha!
Has the bait finally taken?
Zhao Hao almost laughed out loud when he heard Mo Ku's words, but he was very calm on the surface. He hesitated for a long time before speaking: "This "Tiangong Kaiwu" is an undisclosed secret of our Da Qin. It cannot be taught to anyone who is not a craftsman of our Da Qin. You This request makes me very embarrassed..."
"I understand what the young master means. Our Mo family also has many secrets that are not told to others. If the young master is willing, our Mo family can exchange them with the young master..."
"No need, I'm not interested in your Mo family's skills..."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said something, then turned around and left with Laifu and others.
What undisclosed secrets of the Mohist family can be compared with the crystallization of thousands of years of craftsmanship in later generations?
Doesn’t this make you pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon?
Only a fool would agree to exchange with you!
"Sir, wait a minute—!"
Seeing Zhao Hao leave immediately, Mo Ku suddenly became anxious.
"Um?"
Zhao Hao paused and said without looking back, "What else can I do?"
"Sir, we can help you improve this Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. For example, replace it with a crossbow arrow, which should be more powerful!" Mo Ku said quickly.
"Crossbow?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and turned to look at Mo Ku.
But he heard Mo bitterly say: "The teacher said that the heavy rain pear blossom needle inspired him to make a crossbow machine with more than ten consecutive shots..."
"!"
Zhao Hao was astonished and thought that if the crossbow machine failed more than ten times, wasn't this the Zhuge Liannu? ?
Before the invention of firearms, the development of crossbows reached its peak.
The effective range of the powerful crossbow can reach more than 500 meters.
The effective range of the bed crossbow is more than one thousand meters.
Most of the Qin State continuous crossbows he was familiar with were two-miss or three-miss crossbow machines. For example, crossbow machines with more than ten misses would not be invented until the Three Kingdoms period.
The most famous among them is naturally the Zhuge Liannu invented by Zhuge Liang.
It's a pity that this 'divine crossbow', which is so familiar to future generations, only existed for a short time and was lost.
Therefore, later generations often speculate whether this is a legend or a long-lost truth.
The records of "Zhuge Liannu" in historical books only have 23 words:
'There is also a continuous crossbow with loss and loss, which is called Yuan Rong. The iron is used as the loss, and the loss is eight inches long. One crossbow can be fired with ten losses. '
Chen Shou directly called this weapon "profit and loss" in "Three Kingdoms".
This shows that its power on the battlefield at that time was no less than that of later machine guns.
The reason why Zhao Hao is not eager to develop gunpowder weapons is because the current technology is not up to the level of making firearms.
Even if it is barely made, it is not very powerful.
but.
If there is new equipment for transitional firearms, he will naturally not miss it.
After all, such a repeating crossbow is very suitable for cavalry combat.
You know, Zhuge Liang invented the Ten Lost Repeating Crossbow at that time just to deal with the powerful Wei cavalry.
Now that Qin is at war with the Huns, this repeating crossbow comes in handy.
After recovering from the shock, Zhao Hao looked at Mo Ku calmly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Does your master still have such ability?"
"snort!"
Before Mo Ku could say anything, Mo Xuan on the side heard Zhao Hao questioning his teacher. He immediately snorted coldly, raised his head and said, "Teacher is a master of Mo Zi. Not only is he superb in swordsmanship, but his craftsmanship is also unique. He naturally has this ability." !”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he felt a little funny in his heart, but he deliberately said Mo Xuan: "I thought famous teachers would produce great disciples, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."
"you!"
Mo Xuan's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, but his eyes were full of annoyance and pain.
When she couldn't make the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, she wrote to her teacher asking for help because she didn't want to see Zhao Hao despise her.
Although the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle has been created now, it is all due to her teacher.
That's why she was rendered speechless by Zhao Hao.
You know, she was a genius girl at the Mo family headquarters.
Even her teacher Deng Lingzi praised her highly.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Xianyang, I would encounter all kinds of frustrations and grievances that would make me cry.
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Mo Ku coughed twice and said with a dry smile: "Junior sister Mo Xuan, you can't fight with the young master in a quarrel."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Hao: "I wonder what you want, Master?"
Zhao Hao frowned and had no interface.
Mo Ku smiled again and said, "How about we help the young master transform the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow, and the young master agrees to one more request from us?"
"any request?"
"The teacher needs to talk to you about this."
"Then let's wait until you create the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow!"
Zhao Hao flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
He would not agree to such a bottomless request, so he just prevaricated it.
Mo Ku and Mo Ku looked at each other in confusion.
Obviously, they did not expect Zhao Hao to agree to them immediately.
It was just that they had to follow Deng Lingzi's instructions.
........
For the next two days, everything was calm outside the palace.
Soon it was Hu Ji’s birthday party.
According to the previous agreement, Zhao Hao promised the First Emperor to show his hands.
As a result, the palace's dining room was temporarily taken over by Zhao Hao.
The various novel dishes made the imperial chef in the palace dizzy and amazed.
Xin said that he had been an imperial chef all his life and had served three generations of Qin kings. How could he not be as good as a young boy?
Could it be that I am dazzled?
Some of them have never been heard of: frying, frying, stir-frying, stewing, roasting, roasting, boiling, stewing, and steaming.
It turns out that cooking can be so rich?
And those seasonings, aren’t they medicinal materials?
How can medicinal herbs be used in cooking?
While the chefs were full of doubts, as the chief cooking disciple of Zhao Hao, Chef Laifu took the cooking spoon from Zhao Hao's hand without hesitation and gave the chefs a show.
They brought this pot with them.
There is no such thing as a pot in Shangshifang.
"Sir, what kind of dishes does Chef Laifu cook? Why have I never seen them before?"
A chubby imperial chef walked up to Zhao Hao curiously and asked carefully.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and explained with a smile: "What we are cooking now is 'Dongpo Pork', a hard dish, very delicious!"
"Dongpo Pig Knuckle?"
The fat imperial chef was stunned: "Why is it called this? Isn't it pork meat? Is that dolphin called Dongpo?"
"puff--!"
Zhao Hao snorted, smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about so much, just remember it carefully. I will only teach you once. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your understanding!"
"Oh oh oh, okay."
The fat chef nodded repeatedly and immediately concentrated on watching Laifu cooking.
Other royal chefs took out small notebooks and recorded every process in detail.
.......
Meanwhile, the banquet hall.
The First Emperor and his relatives exchanged cups and cups, chatting and laughing happily.
The princes, princes and grandchildren were eagerly awaiting the meal, looking forward to eating dishes that were different from the past.
At this time, Hu Hai, who was sitting on the left side of Ying Zheng, came close to the First Emperor and whispered: "Father, have you asked? Do Thirteenth Brother still have instant noodles?"
Although he only drank instant noodle soup last time, he also knew the taste by eating the marrow and could never forget the taste of instant noodles.
Sometimes I drool when I want to eat instant noodles, and I don’t know how many times I wet the sheets.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hao is not someone he can provoke, so he can only focus on Ying Zheng.
Thinking about today's banquet, I can eat instant noodles again, even if I don't eat the big fish and meat on the table.
Ying Zheng was so amused by him that he couldn't stop laughing. He cut a piece of meat from the table and handed it to him: "If you are hungry, eat this first. When your imperial brother comes later, I will help you ask!"
To be honest, he also missed the taste of instant noodles, but now that there were so many people, he always felt bad eating instant noodles alone, so he dismissed Hu Hai casually.
"oh."
Hu Hai responded with some disappointment and was about to retreat to his seat.
At this moment, Hu Ji, who was on the right side of Ying Zheng, turned to look at him, opened her mouth, but stopped talking, her eyes could not help but turn red, and she was so sad that she almost burst into tears.
Hu Hai froze, not knowing what to say. He hesitated for a long time before stammering: "I...I know...I've always known...but I can't say it now... .”
As soon as these words came out, Hu Ji's delicate body trembled and tears fell like rain.
Ying Zheng sighed in his heart. He knew that Hu Hai's words were not to Hu Ji, but to express to him that he did not resent this mother-in-law.
Therefore, my heart suddenly softened a bit, and I brought the broth on my table to Hu Hai and said, "Drink this bowl of broth, and then eat instant noodles!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Hu Hai smiled, then as if he realized something, he blushed and said, "My son is embarrassed in front of my father."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said nonchalantly, "I've seen you when your butt was naked!"
"Well....."
The corner of Hu Hai's mouth twitched, and he was about to continue his affection for Ying Zheng and his son. At this time, Zhao Gao suddenly shouted from outside the hall: "The birthday banquet has begun, the dishes are served——!"
