The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 298

However, it is not an easy task to manufacture so many iron arrows of the same specification, and the financial and material resources consumed are unimaginable. Once this kind of thing is used in the military, it is difficult to take back the iron arrows after shooting. A very large expense.

"General Xu please open the cover of the Liannu again."

General Xu immediately followed suit.

There is a groove under the black lacquered cover, and the iron arrow is fixed with the groove.

Xiao Wanwan stretched her finger down to touch it, thought for a while, and when she raised her head again, there was a faint smile on her face: "The concubine has an idea, would the emperor want to hear it?"

Emperor Jiawen was naturally willing, and Xiao Wanwan organized some words and spoke eloquently.

"If iron arrows of this shape will be used on the battlefield at that time, it will not be a simple matter to replenish them once the stocks are used up. Besides, it is difficult to take back these iron arrows after they are shot, and it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not Collect it, melt it into molten iron, and make other things. In this way, we will suffer a lot."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the groove inside with her finger: "The concubine is thinking, this groove is now directly embedded in the crossbow, so can this fixed groove be made movable?" The groove can be taken out or replaced with other styles. The current groove can hold five iron arrows as thick as a finger at the same time. If the distance between the grooves is made thinner, it becomes the width of ordinary feather arrows. If so, then 15 ordinary feather arrows can be loaded at one time, and the length of the feather arrows is much shorter than that of iron arrows. The movable groove can hold three at a time under such a length, and the middle is connected by a spring. Pulling the trigger once can release 15 feather arrows, and tapping the trigger three times can release 45 arrows."

This is much less expensive and more flexible.

Xu Zhang is a person who can't hide his thoughts. He was dumbfounded when he heard it. When Xiao Wanwan finished speaking, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Majesty is really smart! I originally thought that this Although the iron arrows are powerful, it is a waste of money to build them. The idea proposed by the empress allows ordinary feather arrows to be used in the continuous crossbow, and the infusion force of the continuous crossbow is much stronger than that of a human being. , and the range is much farther than Lian Yuying!"

"General Xu thinks it's feasible," Xiao Wanwan asked.

"It's doable, of course it's doable!"

"What does the emperor think?"

"This method has its advantages, but how operable it is depends on Hezhou." Emperor Jiawen was much calmer than Xu Zhang, "How does the movable and replaceable groove you mentioned work in the Liannu?" It is also a problem to fix it, not to collapse."

Xiao Wanwan nodded: "The emperor is thoughtful, it's because the concubines take it for granted."

Emperor Jiawen couldn't help laughing, he stroked Xiao Wanwan's hair, and said softly: "Your idea is very good, I will order Hezhou to start the experiment."

Xiao Wanwan looked up at him, meeting Emperor Jiawen's eyes.

Xiao Wanwan was the only one in those eyes at the moment, as gentle as a pool of clear lake water: "The waiter for worshiping the gods is right, you are indeed Zhaoguo's lucky star, and my lucky star."

Although Xu Zhang was a rough man, he didn't know how to act according to the situation. He retreated quietly, closed the door gently, and left space for the affectionate emperor and concubine.
