European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 153 Test
After handing over the design drawings of the weapons to the blacksmiths, Li Peijun also followed the helpers to measure the size. The self-made double-edged axes and halberds were only slightly improved on the original weapons, and there was no wild imagination. After the key parts are sized, the rest is left to the blacksmiths to complete by themselves.

The Zhuge crossbow machine was different. The craftsmen knew nothing about this mysterious weapon from the East. Even the crossbow machine technology left over from ancient Greece had no solution. Li Peijun had to personally supervise every link and component.

"Lord, is this a catapult? It doesn't look like it?" After listening to Li Peijun's description, the craftsman naturally thought of the familiar siege catapult.

Li Peijun couldn't deny it, "It can't be strictly said to be a catapult. It's similar to a long-distance killing weapon. It can be used to defend against enemies and attack cities."

Before he could explain too much, Li Peijun couldn't wait to take shape of the design drawing in his hand. Because it was the first generation model, he didn't plan to use metal products so extravagantly. He just tried to make a 1:1 model using all wood. Actual combat effect.

The crossbow bolts of the giant ballista tentatively use the original crude spears, which are old equipment that will be eliminated anyway, and they are just in the end.

The crossbow machine has the same firing function as the real Zhuge Liannu. Due to technical obstacles, the first-generation machine can only be equipped with five spears at a time, and at least three people are required to operate it. The two are responsible for adjusting the steering.

The assembly of the crossbow machine was carried out by twelve craftsmen at the same time. Li Peijun carefully corrected every mistake on the side. The crossbow itself is not complicated, but it occupies a slightly larger area. The small workshop cannot accommodate the first-generation forming machine. Pedestrians were really taken aback when they saw this huge monster that was four meters long and three meters wide.

"Is this a strange guy? He looks pretty powerful."

"Could it be a new product launched by the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Don't touch it, maybe it's an exclusive weapon, you look like a bow lying down, but the appearance is really exaggerated."

There are more and more crowds watching. Everyone has never seen this novelty before, and they are all attracted to it at once.

"Give way, everyone. This is a newly equipped weapon for Hafleur's standing army. If you want to know more, join the army." Li Peijun did not drive away the crowd, but instead used his strength to promote a wave of recruiting plans.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Li Peijun hired more than a dozen cooks to transport the first batch of ten double-edged axes, ten curved-edged halberds and this big guy to his manor for testing. Even with a wheel, it couldn't be pushed easily. Li Peijun could barely pull it with two horses.

"Everyone, take a look here. These are your newly equipped weapons and equipment. Come here and practice your hands." Li Peijun called to stop the daily labor of the leaders, and then ordered Birmingham and Wiener to gather the recruited standing army for testing.

Since there was still a big gap in the quantity of the first batch of rushed weapons, Li Peijun had to let everyone pass them one by one to try their hands.

Although the township warriors are a little unfamiliar with these weapons, they are very good at using them. After Li Peijun briefly taught the essentials of the movements, each of them became handy.

"You don't need to think about how to defeat the enemy in front of you. You just need to imagine them as a straight tree, a piece of wasteland waiting to be reclaimed, how to cut down trees and cultivate them on weekdays, and use the corresponding actions to do it. Already." Li Peijun vividly drew an analogy.

"I'll try." One of the bold Xiangyong looked at a piece of land on the side, and slammed the war halberd deep into the soil like a hoe.

"Is it like this?" Xiang Yong asked.

Li Peijun nodded, and added: "If you want to cause greater damage, you need to slide back and forth. The blade of this weapon is a specially made curved blade."

"Okay, my lord, I'll try." Xiang Yong realized the essentials of it, and pulled out the halberd as usual, raking the soil, and the black soil buried deep splashed out and smeared everyone's faces.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Xiangyong apologized again and again: "My lord, the common people deserve death the most. Please forgive me, my lord."

Li Peijun patted the dust off his face, and said with a smile: "Don't blame yourself, it's great to feel the moisture of the earth, and it's the same when fighting, but when the time comes, the corner of your fall will be facing the enemy in front of you, splashing everywhere." The ground is nothing but blood."

Xiang Yong said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Lord for your forgiveness."

The use of the tomahawk was also very smooth. The standing army surrounded a tree and hacked each other with an axe. They also sang Normandy folk songs. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

"Be careful, everyone run." Inadvertently, the base of the tree had been hollowed out, and before it crumbled to the ground, Li Peijun hurriedly urged everyone to evacuate to a safe place.

After the originally lush oak tree collapsed, Li Peijun calmly held a summary meeting on the sidelines.

"There is no problem with your movement range, but there are still many flaws in the strength of this movement." Li Peijun pointed out the shortcomings in the test.

"Problem? Lord, forgive me for not understanding what you mean, but I usually do this when cutting down trees. What is the specific problem?" asked the village heroes who didn't know what was going on.

Li Peijun carefully explained the difference between the two, "there is not much difference between the two in action, but when cutting trees, because the trunk is thick, it is impossible to cut down with an axe, so when chopping, they will deliberately maintain a high frequency. The movement, and the corresponding strength will also be weakened."

"Swinging and slashing in war is different. Killing is just a stroke. The slashing of the ax must be a heavy blow with full power. This is the difference between the two."

After listening to the explanation, the township warriors suddenly realized that they nodded and praised again and again. Li Peijun added: "When you train in the future, you have to imagine that you have to cut down this tree with one blow, so that you can go all out when you exert your strength."

"Understood, my lord." Everyone responded in unison.

The test of the ballista caused crowds to empty out. The people of the manor became very interested in this novelty weapon. Some children even stepped on the haystacks and stopped to look far away, trying to see the spectacle.

The test site was arranged in a flat and open area on the border, facing a dense forest directly in front of it. One is to see the test results more intuitively, and the other is to minimize the economic losses caused by accidents.

The giant repeating crossbow is not like Zhuge's repeating crossbow, which can be easily held by one person in the hand and fired continuously. The person operating the launching device exerts great effort, pressing the stick like a water pump in the countryside, and then pumping half of the Only when the personal burden is placed on it can the operation be done reluctantly.

"emission"

With a command, a spear burst out from the shooting port, disrupting the airflow around it with a flick of a finger, and flew straight into the dense forest like a comet, hanging on one of the trees.

"Distance test, depth test." The exclamation has not stopped, Li Peijun has already ordered the hunters to start measuring the data.

"Reporting to Lord Lord, the range is 120 meters, and the depth of the crossbow's insertion is about twice that of the arrow." When the result came out, Kesar quickly replied.

"Very good, continue the test." Li Peijun was not overjoyed, but ordered the test to continue.

As the only five spears were fired, Li Peijun also obtained a set of data accordingly. The range of the first-generation aircraft was about 2 to 3 times that of bows and arrows, and the lethality ranged from 2 to 5 times depending on the range. above is a good result.

"Okay, the test is over, and everyone has finished training." Li Peijun glanced at the results and announced that the entire test process was successfully concluded.
