Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 255 Qi Machine

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, but no one spoke first, Lu Kang understood that this was the time when he had to play his role, so he took the initiative to introduce the topic: "Ahem, my lord...it seems that there is an unknown colleague in the Ministry of Industry, okay?" Could you please introduce yourself?"

"That's right, the Ministry of Industry is usually busy with affairs and involves a lot of secrets, so if the Pang Si Department has nothing important to do, it won't come to the monthly meeting. Huang Jijiu is also because she has just joined the General's Mansion, so I invited her here this time... ...This is Huang Yueying and Huang Jijiu who joined the Ministry of Industry of the General's Mansion after being invited by the Marquis many times!" Bai Tu said.

It is precisely because there are no other important officials in the Ministry of Works, only a few "administrative" officials, that the grade of the Grand Ceremony Wine is the highest among the officials present in the Ministry of Works, which is why they sit so high in the front.

Everyone present could naturally notice that Bai Tu specially called himself "Ben Hou" at the end.

Bai Tu rarely calls himself this way, obviously not to make it smooth, but to emphasize - Huang Yueying is the talent that I, the dignified Marquis of Chu, invited at every turn!
"Nanyang Huang Yueying, a female, loves machine learning, and is seventeen years old. If you have any... ideas related to machine learning, you can come to me at the Ministry of Industry." Huang Yueying said calmly.

"I didn't expect Huang Jijiu to be so young, but...Huang Jijiu works in the Ministry of Industry, so there will inevitably be a lot of inconveniences, right?" Zhang Zhao expressed concern.

Before Huang Yueying could speak, Bai Tu said for her: "Hahaha, I'm afraid Zibu is worrying too much this time. Judging from the current results of the recruitment of the staff, Huang Jijiu is not only in terms of merit, but also in terms of the support and support of his subordinates. I love wearing them, but they all rank at the forefront, especially the new 'Yueying Liannu', which is about to enter the assembly line production stage.

Recently, a new crossbow has been developed. Its single-shot range and damage are very amazing. In the future, when these crossbows are popularized throughout the army, they can increase the combat effectiveness of the army by at least [-]%, which means reducing casualties by [-]%. Spend [-]% of the manpower consumption... If you don't work hard, this year's New Year's Day Festival, I am afraid that the Yellow Festival Wine will be the only one! "

"My lord, the structure of the new crossbow was designed by me, but the energy supply device is the credit of Pang Si's department, otherwise I would not have thought of designing this kind of crossbow." Huang Yueying said not greedy for credit.

It's just this chorus that makes others feel a little uncomfortable.

That is to say...

Huang Yueying has not only been appointed, but has also passed the evaluation, and has even achieved results?
"Lord, didn't the Ministry of Industry also have a batch of new crossbows called Divine Arm Crossbows before? They have been developed and are being assembled with generals and elites in the army. Is this the same batch?" Yu Fan said very straightforwardly.

It's not that he has much objection to Huang Yueying, he just can't stand Bai Tu's "false claims of merit".

In fact, Bai Tu did have elements of flattery, among other things...Pang Tong's recent discovery is the highlight!
"Yes, the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Repeating Crossbow each have their own strengths. They will be equipped with the entire army in the future. The new crossbow I am talking about should be regarded as an enhanced version of the second generation Divine Arm Crossbow. It will be equipped with warriors first...especially He is the general of the navy that is about to sail away." Bai Tu said and looked at Gan Ning.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but... naval battles require a range advantage, and traveling long distances will also test the durability of weapons. Longbows and steel knives are better to use." Gan Ning said with some concern.

In the era when artillery had not yet appeared, water battles themselves accounted for [-]% of "counter-firing" and [-]% of board battles.

A simple longbow is more practical!
Crossbows not only have a lower range than bows and arrows, but also have complex structures and are easily damaged.

"Don't worry Xingba, you just came back and you didn't know it. Now the Divine Arm Crossbow has exceeded the range of ordinary longbows, and it has begun to develop ship-based bed crossbows. In the future, the Navy will have weapons that can destroy the hull at long range. In this half month, we will first popularize divine arm crossbows and repeating crossbows for the navy that is going to sea, and the war generals will try to be equipped with second-generation divine arm crossbows," Bai Tu said.

"What god arm crossbow, the second generation god arm crossbow... I just left for half a year, and there are many new things in the general's mansion..." Gan Ning sighed, and at the same time added in his heart: If Jinxiu can develop so quickly alright.

It's a pity that the silk weaving and textile development in Jiangdong is indeed rapid, but... it is developing in the direction of convenience and popularization, which is not the same direction as the gorgeous brocade that Gan Ning likes.

"The Divine Arm Crossbow can be seen as an enhanced version of the pedal crossbow, and the second generation Divine Arm Crossbow... is difficult to explain. The concept is not just a 'crossbow', but can be used in all directions... cough , just take this opportunity to demonstrate it." Bai Tu said.

When Pang Tong first discovered this energy supply method, Bai Tu was also very surprised.

Although there are still many constraints, Bai Tu sees different hopes in the direction.

"First of all, let me show you something. It is a new type of... material that was developed by Pang Si Department before." Bai Tu said, and ordered someone to get a fist-sized glass bead. The whole thing is green, but one end has about five touch points. A depression that is one-third the size of the depression is filled with red colored glaze, and from the red colored glaze, a colored glaze pillar that is as thick as a thumb and as long as the middle finger protrudes...

Everyone here is already familiar with this kind of brittle colored glaze, and you are already somewhat aware of its cost. At least... you will no longer regard it as a rare treasure!
Thinking of how they had not seen it more than a year ago, everyone felt a little ashamed.

"Is this the new material developed by Pang Si Department? The color... is indeed a lot brighter." Yu Fan complimented against his will, and then looked at Bai Tu, saying that except for the color, he didn't see anything different between this thing and other artificial glazing. what is the difference.

"It's not a matter of color. When I was in Shouchun, my adoptive father, Ziyi, and Zilong worked together to make medicines to treat epidemics. Do you still remember it?" Bai Tu asked.

"And my brother..." Sun Quan, who was in the corner like Lu Xun, added weakly, but unfortunately he was too far away from Bai Tu and was not heard.

"This is also... um, an instrument for 'extracting' the essence?" Zhang Zhao guessed after hearing this. He has learned a lot of new words in these years.

"No, I got the inspiration from there, not something... After that incident, Pang Sibu discovered that the nature of zhenqi is different from that of ordinary natural substances.

Moreover... By changing the ratio of trace elements in the glass, you can create a material that is very sensitive to Qi. Then by changing the ratio, you can combine the material with different forms of Qi... Well, to put it simply... ...Lingqi, come and demonstrate. " Bai Tu saw that no one understood much, so he handed the things to Lu Lingqi at the side for "demonstration".

Lu Lingqi also took it directly, "covering up" Bai Tu's clumsy tongue. She held a fist-sized glass bead, and then poured infusing energy into it that showed no lethality - although the intensity was not high enough. to liquefaction, but the control power of this hand alone is already stronger than that of Sun Ce!
Then the green part of the glazed bead became more emerald green, even... faintly glowing!
Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he saw this - he had already decided to inlaid this kind of "precious pearls" in his bedroom.

Afterwards, Bai Tu handed the slightly shiny glass bead to Gan Ning, and said to him: "Xingba, just treat yourself as an ordinary warrior, use your weakest and weakest true energy to slightly stimulate the red bead." Part... note that it is 'stimulation', not 'attack'."

Gan Ning took it, admired it first, and then did as Bai Tu said.

Nothing dazzling happened as they imagined. Others just faintly heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing through the narrow place. It was not loud, but it came from Gan Ning's hands...

Gan Ning soon showed everyone the source of the sound - Gan Ning put his palms on one end of the red pillar. At this time, some of the staff who were close could already see that the red pillar was like a reed. The rod is also hollow!
Judging from the sound, it is the red rod-shaped part that is constantly spraying air...

"This is the use of two kinds of colored glaze with different ratios, which are different in harmony with the true energy. In short... the green part can be stored, and when passing through the red part, the true energy will be transformed into air flow... Anyway You don’t know what air is, just know that the air will continue to spurt out at this time!" Bai Tu said.

Although the explanation was perfunctory, Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao and the others didn't care. They were not interested in these principles at all, they just knew that "it can store true energy" and "it will continue to emit air after it is activated".

As the gas gushes out, the glass bead gradually dims, and soon returns to its original appearance.

Unconsciously!

It's amazing!

uncanny workmanship!

however……

what's the point?
"You can't use this kind of strong airflow to shoot arrows, right?" Gan Ning asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, this is just a new structure discovered by Pang Sibu. I call it the 'Zhen Qi Machine'. There are infinite possibilities for how to apply it... But since Xingba is already in a hurry, let's take a look at the second generation of gods." Arm crossbow." Bai Tu said helplessly.

Sure enough, it was not the steam engine that started the Industrial Revolution, but the Industrial Revolution that made the steam engine possible...

Steam engines, coal, steel, and iron are the four kings that promote and accelerate industrialization, but are not the founders and starters.

Just like the land at the feet of Bai Tu, in the history without the White Rabbit Effect, there have been countless advanced inventions and discoveries - without the background of the times, just more inventions cannot be converted into productivity at all!
If it were in history without the White Rabbit Effect, even if the steam engine was really born, I am afraid it would be just like Huang Daopo's textile machine. Even the name of the creator would not be left. Only the regrettable "In XX" will be left in the textbooks of later generations. Years ago, our country had its first "XXX", but other than that, nothing can change.

At this time, Su Wei also sent a crossbow gun that looked very "industrial" to Bai Tu.

Overall, most of it is made of metal components, and the most conspicuous thing is that this crossbow does not have a horizontal crossbow arm, but two opposite bow arms, which are placed vertically on the crossbow body, so it looks very "slim" overall. It’s also very long…

　Dongdong: The shape of the crossbow is roughly based on the modern "Angry" crossbow. I will see if I can post a picture in this chapter later.
