The two walked while talking, and after a while, they arrived at the camp. As a senior leader, Qingpi naturally would not lead Zhao Shu himself.
Instead, find someone from below.
The chief minister had to take care of many things every day, and Zhao Shu was just a soldier. He couldn't arrange it if he stayed by his side.
Commander Su Jiu asked Zhao Shu to be trained into a qualified crossbowman, so he had to start from the bottom.
"Wu Changgui, I will hand him over to you so that he can learn to become a qualified crossbowman." Qingpi glanced at Gui and said in a low voice, "This is what the captain meant."
"No." Gui nodded in agreement and saluted Qingpi: "Please rest assured, Commander Shi, the general will definitely make him a qualified crossbowman."
"Well, I'm not worried about you, general." After settling down for a while, Qingpi left.
The Qin army was highly disciplined. Even though Qingpi felt that Zhao Shu had a close relationship with the captain and had a deeper background behind it, he still did not linger.
The soldiers of the Qin Army in this era are confident and proud. The warriors of Great Qin are the best in the world, they are proud and invincible.
"Zhao Shu has met Wu Commander!" After Qingpi left, Zhao Shu quickly saluted Qingpi.
"Soldier Shu, follow me." Gui nodded and led Zhao Shu to the camp. Then he pointed at a crossbow machine and began to introduce it to Zhao Shu.
"In the crossbow camp, there are several common types of crossbows, among which single crossbows are divided into two types: spring-tension and arm-tension."
"Among them, the arm-zhang crossbow is a powerful crossbow that is tied to the arm, has a long range, and has a higher accuracy, while the kick-zhang crossbow is a bow-strung crossbow with the foot on the bow, the arms pulling the waist, and the whole body's strength to string it."
"Although the firing speed of a crossbow is far inferior to that of a bow, the arrows it fires are extremely powerful, and their flying speed is several times that of a bow."
"There are Rhubarb crossbows, Rhubarb tool crossbows, and Rhubarb force ten-stone crossbows. Among them, the common crossbows in the army are Rhubarb crossbows, two-stone crossbows, three-stone crossbows, five-stone crossbows, six-stone crossbows, and eight-stone crossbows. Ten stones with crossbows, etc.”
After explaining it, Wu Changgui threw a scroll of bamboo slips to Zhao Shu and said: "There is information about the crossbow in it. As a crossbowman, you must understand the crossbow in your hand."
"You just came here today, so you don't need to participate in the training. Look through these bamboo slips and write down the data and effects of each crossbow."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Shu looked at the various crossbows in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement. He was a mechanic himself.
Looking at these crossbows, I couldn't help but fall in love with them.
The crossbows in the Qin army are the pinnacle machines of this era.
The Qin crossbow was made under the unified supervision of the Shaofu. The bow was flat and round, generally five to six feet long, made of mulberry wood, and the entire bow was bound with dense leather strips.
Not only does it enhance the structural strength of the bow stem, but also because the leather strips have excellent toughness and strong elasticity, they can store more energy.
The Qin Nu was made of a composite bow with a mulberry wood core, leather strips, and bronze. It was the most powerful killing machine of the era.
The wooden arms are generally three to four feet long and two to three inches wide. There is a joint at the front end of the wooden arm. The upper lip is short and the lower lip is long, which just fits the bow.
Then tie it with a leather strip and tie it back to the ears on both sides of the wooden arm, so that the bow and the arm are tightly connected.
There is a concave arrow path on the crossbow arm, which can hold the arrow and increase the surface contact area with the arrow, increasing the launch resistance.
However, the arrow path can effectively fix the position of the arrow cluster on the crossbow arm, improve accuracy, and prevent launch failure caused by emptying the string.
The arrow path has been finely polished and appears to be extremely smooth, and is painted and waxed to reduce friction between the arrow and the arrow path when fired.
The rear of the crossbow arm is equipped with a firing sight device, which is a set of components made of bronze precision casting. It consists of Wangshan, Xandao and Niu.
Watching the mountain is a sighting device.
…
While looking at the records on the bamboo slips and stroking Qin Nu, Zhao Shu's face was full of intoxication, like a gambler who saw the chips.
The size standards for each part of the crossbow machine are unified across the country and are interchangeable.
When Zhao Shu saw this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In this era, the Qin people have mastered standardization and assembly lines.
The wisdom of our ancestors is really amazing.
Zhao Shu scrolled down and read: Arrows are composed of arrowheads, bows (arrow shafts), feathers and 杝 (small crosses at the end of arrows).
The arrowhead is made of bronze, and the arrowhead is usually a triangular pyramid, and the arrow shafts are made of bamboo or wood. The arrowhead collar is inserted into thin bamboo, wrapped with thin silk rope, and then painted on the surface.
The two ends of the twig are sharp, usually half an inch deep, and are used to stabilize the arrow on the string. The complete arrow is three and a half inches long.
…
An hour later, Zhao Shu finished turning over the bamboo slips. His face was filled with shock. The craftsmanship of this era was so shocking.
Zhao Shu remembered clearly that in later generations, Maozi taught us industrialization and Yingjiang taught us standardization. However, more than two thousand years ago today, the Qin people had mastered standardization and industrialization.
Moreover, Daqin Manufacturing has formed an assembly line operation.
Since the Qin Dynasty, for more than two thousand years, such perfect craftsmanship has been discarded, so that later on, I had to look down and find others to learn from.
It’s really heartbreaking!
When Zhao Shu came to this era, he was also upset. Later, all he wanted to do was to make contributions and change the Qin Dynasty.
He has seen the elites of Great Qin's warriors, and now he has seen the power of Great Qin's craftsmen, as well as the development of Great Qin's industry.
This gave Zhao Shu a huge ambition in his heart. If he waits for him to achieve great achievements, he will be in charge of the ninth rank and the young manor.
In the future Great Qin, it is very likely that the technology tree will be completely ignited and many future things will be realized in Great Qin.
After all, Great Qin had such excellent craftsmen, and he also had a man who pretended to be a later civilization to show the way. At this moment, Zhao Shu was extremely convinced that Great Qin could definitely become a great country in the future.
"Soldier skills, how about the crossbows from my crossbow camp?" Gui took a sip of water and walked over with a water bag.
He knew that Zhao Shu was not simple. The most important thing was that Zhao Shu was the one who had been told by the commander and the commander of thousands of people. No matter what, he had to ensure that Zhao Shu mastered these.
"Perfect."
Looking at the various crossbows in front of him, Zhao Shu was filled with emotion and said: "They are like beauties, one cannot put them down."
"Haha..." Gui laughed when he heard Zhao Shu say this. As a crossbowman, he naturally likes others to praise Qin Nu.
"The power of our Great Qin Arrow Array is unparalleled in the world. If there is a chance in the future, I will show you it!"
Gui knew in his heart that it was impossible to appreciate the charm of Qin Nu unless he was on the battlefield, especially a war involving hundreds of thousands of people.
Zhao Shu likes Qin Nu so much, which makes Gui recognize Zhao Shu more, because in Gui's view, a person who does not love crossbows cannot become an excellent crossbowman.
Gui looked at Zhao Shu with satisfaction in his eyes. Seeing that Zhao Shu couldn't let go of Qin Nu, he couldn't help but smile and said.
"I like it so much, do you want to try it?"
