Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 26 Demonstration (The book will be signed soon, please rest assured to collect it.)
"General, Xun Yu has benefited a lot from this trip." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "During this trip, I met Li Bai's teacher, Mr. Ruixiang. I have been with him for more than a month, and I found that he is indeed a rare talent."

"Oh? Then does he have the will to become an official?" Cao Cao asked casually.

"No, I invited him many times, but he refused." Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Through contact, I found that he does not seem to be a person who is greedy for power. If he is willing to serve as an official, I will definitely recommend it to the general. he."

"That's a pity, since he doesn't want to be an official, forget it." Cao Cao said.

"General, I brought back a few good things this time, and I'll show you." Seeing that Cao Cao wasn't very interested in Zhang Qingfeng, Xun Yu changed the subject and said.

"Oh? What good stuff?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"General, please ask my people to bring the things in. The things are outside." Xun Yu said.

"Okay." Cao Cao nodded, and then shouted to the guards outside the door: "Let the people brought by Tinghou come in."

Not long afterward, under the leadership of several guards, several adult men came in carrying a large box.

Afterwards, Xun Yu opened the box himself and took out something from it.

"Wen Ruo, what is this?" Cao Cao asked, pointing at something.

This is a half-person-high cabinet-like thing, and there is a hammer-like thing under it, which is constantly swinging.

"General, take a closer look." Xun Yu said with a smile.

Cao Cao walked around the thing twice, and suddenly, he saw a disk on it, with many words written on it: Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si noon...

"Is this a sundial?" Cao Cao asked.

"Almost." Xun Yu nodded and introduced, "This is a pendulum clock, just like a sundial, it's a timekeeping tool..."

Then Xun Yu introduced the situation of the pendulum clock to Cao Cao in detail.

"This...is really miraculous..." After hearing Xun Yu's introduction, Cao Cao was very surprised.

"General, besides the pendulum clock, I also brought back a weapon. This weapon shoots like a bow and arrow, and can shoot through heavy armor at a distance of a hundred steps. Do you want to see it?" Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

"Is there such a weapon? Look, of course you have to look..." Cao Cao said immediately after hearing Xun Yu's words.

"Since that's the case, why don't you follow me to the school grounds, the general is too small to use your weapons."

"That should be the case." Cao Cao nodded.

Afterwards, Cao Cao and Xun Yu brought a group of people to the school grounds, and Cao Cao also saw what Xun Yu said could penetrate heavy armor from a hundred paces away.

"This thing can really shoot through heavy armor from a hundred paces away?" Cao Cao was a little unconvinced.

In his opinion, this thing is an iron pipe and some wood, neither bowstring nor feathered arrow, how can this be fired?

"The general will know it at a glance."

Xun Yu did not answer Cao Cao's words, but loaded the flintlock in an orderly manner.

After a while, Xun Yu had loaded the ammunition.

"General, I'm going to shoot. This weapon will make a loud noise, but don't scare the general." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo just shoots, I just watch it." Cao Cao said.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu nodded, then aimed at a target dozens of steps away and pulled the trigger.

Although it is said that he can shoot through heavy armor from a hundred steps away, Xun Yu may not be able to hit it from a hundred steps away, so he put the target within a few dozen steps.

There was only a bang gunshot, and the target not far away fell down.

Although Cao Cao on the side was prepared, he was still startled by the gunfire.

"Go and get the target." Xun Yu ordered to the people around him.

Soon, the target was brought over by a soldier, and Xun Yu and Cao Cao immediately checked it.

This is a piece of wood covered with a layer of heavy armor. At this time, the heavy armor on the wood has been pierced through a hole, and the bullet is deeply embedded in the wood.

"This..." Seeing such a shooting effect, Cao Cao opened his mouth in surprise.

"It's too powerful..." The eyes of several generals beside Cao Cao were even more shining.

"Wen Ruo, tell me, what kind of weapon is this?" Cao Cao said impatiently to Xun Yu.

"General, this is called a flintlock gun, it's..."

Immediately, Xun Yu explained to Cao Cao in detail.

"Mr. Ruixiang can make such a sharp weapon, it's as if Ou Yezi is still alive..." Cao Cao said in a tone of admiration.

"Wen Ruo, may Mr. Ruixiang pass on the law of this weapon to the imperial court?" Cao Cao asked Xun Yu.

"The method of weapons is very simple, I will." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

"Great, with such a sharp weapon, why not worry about a major event?"

"General, the method of this weapon is very simple. I will tell the general, and the general will understand after hearing it." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

Immediately, he explained the firing principle of the flintlock gun to Cao Cao, and finally he said to Cao Cao: "Although the method of this weapon is simple, it is extremely difficult to make this weapon. It took Mr. Ruixiang a month to make it." It costs tens of thousands of manpower and material resources to produce a gun, and it is difficult to equip a large number of soldiers."

"Isn't this just wood and an iron pipe? What's the difficulty?" Cao Cao asked Xun Yu.

As far as he saw, the flintlock gun was just a piece of wood, an iron pipe, plus a firing device, and it weighed less than ten catties. How much would it cost?

"General, don't underestimate this weapon. This flintlock gun is not made of ordinary iron pipes. The barrel is drilled out of high-quality stainless steel bit by bit. With this barrel, there is probably no one in the world today. Except for Mr. Ruixiang, there is no skilled craftsman who can make it."

Xun Yu said: "There is also this firing device, which looks simple, but is actually very complicated. No one can make the spring piece inside."

In the end, Xun Yu concluded, "This weapon is like Ou Yezi's giant fish gut. It is too difficult to equip soldiers on a large scale."

"Is that so? That's really a pity." After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao felt very regretful.

Is such a weapon bad?Okay, very good, but it's too expensive. Tens of thousands of dollars per rod can be equipped with dozens of bows and arrows, which is very uneconomical.

Xun Yu's words made Cao Cao dispel the idea of ​​​​equipping soldiers on a large scale.

However, the two things that Xun Yu brought also allowed Cao Cao to see Zhang Qingfeng's talent, so he decided to formally send someone to Taihang Mountain to recruit Zhang Qingfeng to make weapons for him.

Although flintlock weapons cannot be equipped in large quantities due to cost issues, small-scale equipment is still not a problem, such as his escort.

One month after Xun Yu left, Zhang Qingfeng met the envoy sent by Cao Cao, and also learned that Cao Cao wanted to recruit him to make weapons.

Zhang Qingfeng directly refused such solicitation. Cao Cao only recruited him to make weapons, which showed that Cao Cao did not attach much importance to him.
