No matter how good the steel elasticity is, it cannot match the naturally formed bamboo and wood tendons. The Romans have practiced this. The metal-made torsional crossbows have twisted red, and they are not as good as the torsional crossbows made of cow and sheep tendons.

Indeed, the steel crossbow that Wang Hou played was weaker than the current Han crossbow, regardless of range or weight, but why did Wang Hou still make this thing? It was really because it was cheap!

Although most of the Han crossbows equipped now use wood as bow arms, that thing is more expensive than steel! First of all, crossbow arms are not suitable for all wood. They must be a few tree species such as oak, and there are still requirements for the growth period of trees. This is the first step!

After that, the bow arm had to undergo silence drying, repeatedly painted, and it took more than a year to make a qualified crossbow arm or composite bow, and the pass rate was less than half. But what about the steel crossbow? Before an hour Wang Hou had a whim, the crossbow machine in his hand was still a large piece of wood and two large pieces of metal. In the crossbow mold brought by Xu Du, the burned steel juice was poured and cooled. After it was cooled, it was put into the crossbow tool carved by the carpenter. Wang Yuan made a steel sheet for half an hour, and the crossbow arm was well-made, and the thing came out.

If you really care about the cost, you can just take a bucket of wheat.

This has the capital to win by quantity! Even if the performance is beaten by bows and active crossbows, you can change the equipment method! Spanish big array!

The archers are used as separate long-range support units, and the steel crossbow equipment is used to some infantry that were originally used for melee combat. The first two rows of halberds are used to fight, and the rear three rows of crossbows are used to fight. Once the square array is in contact with the local square array, the infantry in the first two rows of infantry will be enough to undertake the task of melee combat in a short time. The back three rows of banish arrows use time to shoot, and the attack power of the entire square array will undoubtedly increase by several points.

Moreover, Wang Hou was bad enough. The first batch of experimental weapons were not equipped with his own army. After Wang Yuan commanded to create a thousand crossbow tools, Wang Hou planned to equip Zang Bajun, whether it was good or bad, and let his allies finish the experiment.

Just like the later Emperor Tianqi, he was like a carpenter, and Wang Yuan was like a iron. After receiving the order, he was quite excited and burst out his strong muscles again. He started to hammer, but he casually carried the newly built crossbow to the door. Looking at the lively scene inside, Wang Hou shook his head with dissatisfaction.

Next to the river, he ordered the construction of six water trucks. The shaft of the water truck was connected to the cast gear lever, which could drive twelve water hammers, but for a workshop with hundreds of people, there were too few twelve water hammers.

If you want to increase production capacity, you have to use your brain on these machinery. Looking at the coal burning in coal stoves, a thought suddenly jumped into Wang Hou's mind. I have no shortage of coal now. Can I just get the steam engine out?

Although it seems a bit fantasy to do steam engines in the late Han Dynasty, the most difficult thing to invent is to make things happen out of nothing. When I think of this idea, Wang Hou is equivalent to cheating. The principle of the steam engine is already in his mind. If this thing is made out and to forge steel instead of manpower, for a moment, Wang Hou's mind suddenly appeared in the factory with punk style. The machine spraying steam twitched and smashed the mountain-like swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. At that time, no matter whether President Cao or General Manager Liu or General Manager Sun, he would cry and shout and stuff the gold, silver, copper cloth and beauty into his arms, hold his thighs and call the boss, and sit on the golden mountain with his arms holding his arms and laughing...

"Dongweng!!!"

The sudden shouting made Wang Hou suddenly come to his senses. Zi Liu quickly pumped his saliva back, and he returned to Zhou Mu's appearance. He pretended to be behind his back with his left hand, stroked his mouth with his right hand and coughed lightly. Wang Hou asked reservedly.

"Jia, what's the point of doing?"

He was really breathless. In the morning, he was sent to receive the third batch of minerals sent by Taishan County, and planned to use the cold winter to build a highway in the Guandu mode of Wanghou and Xuchang last year. As soon as he came back, he saw that not far from the beach, a group of strong men were already holding pickaxes to dig soil. After inquiring, it turned out that Wanghou was about to start building Rizhao official residence after building an iron smelting workshop. The guy was so panting that he came to the door.

"I heard that Dongweng was about to build a official residence in Jiang Rizhao City. The official was not talented. When he set out from Xu Du, he asked for a Feng Shui scroll of Yu Shenxian to present it to Dongweng for the purpose of building an official residence!"

As he said that, he gasped and handed a scroll with his hands, but he didn't answer it as soon as possible. Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Good guy, he had to pay it back when he screamed. On weekdays, he held Yu Jihuskin as a banner, which made people knock it back on his forehead? And I really don't know how conservative these aristocratic bureaucrats are! The painting on this scroll is really the most standard layout of the Han Dynasty government! Is it so difficult to accept the minimalist style of Bauhaus that these guys are proud of?

However, he did not refuse. He took the drawings handed over by Jia Xu casually, and he returned a meaningful smile.

"After a while, the governor of the state will instruct the craftsmen to build it according to the pictures! Jia doesn't take care of his efforts!"

"The state minister is wise!"

I really didn't want to live in Wang Hou's ugly square house from the bottom of my heart. For the first time, I saw Wang Hou so kind. He was so relieved that he slapped him with a rare flattery. For a moment, the host and the host were all happy. The two foxes, one small and one big, made a "sincere" giggle together. Wang Yuan laughed so hard that he had goose bumps, and he slammed his hand without a hammer.

…………

People are under the short eaves and have to bow their heads! At present, Qingzhou is still Yuan Tan's territory, and Cao Cao's main strength is in the hands of the warlord Zang Ba. If you want to make a good fortune under Zang Ba's nose, even if Wang Hou is the governor of the state, he has to be flattered.

So at the beginning of the third month of Rizhao, Wang Hou appeared in Zangba's county yard again.

But this time, Zang Ba changed his indifference when he saw him several times. His eager appearance was like a rich man. He personally welcomed him to the yard, and he also bowed heavily as soon as he met him.

"Zang Ba pays homage to the governor of the state. Are these all for the bastard?"

Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but twitch again, and he whispered and dominated. He always felt like he was paying homage to his father-in-law in a TV series?

However, as the corners of his mouth twitched, he still held up a difficult smile and clasped his fists.

"The general is born and die, and keeps the peace of the country! Thanks to the general's merits, the caravan from Mount Tai encountered bandits in the early month, and it was all up to the general's bravery. Only then did he defeat the thieves and keep them in mind, keeping them in mind. Please do not postpone this little power!"

Delayed? It would be nice if Zang Ba did not drool. He clasped his fists at Wang Hou again. He couldn't wait to arrive in front of the iron box brought by Wang Hou, and opened it, which was wrapped in straw. In the cold weather, heavy armor, which was so cold that it had a layer of green light, suddenly appeared in his eyes.

After weighing the armor twice, Zang Ba went to another box with admiration and lifted it up again. The cold light shone on the top twenty-two ring-shougang knife suddenly appeared in front of him. He picked it up and slashed at the air. Listening to the sound of Yingying's wind, Zang Ba couldn't help but let out a long roar in admiration.

"Good knife!".

This time it was considered a lot of blood, but Wang Hou had no pain at all. Even his pupils showed an indescribable brilliance. Seeing Zang Ba open boxes and boxes, he also showed an indescribable smile.

"It's good that the general likes it!"
