In the afternoon, Qin Yin arranged for Qu Chu’s residence. Qu Chu living in Zetian Temple as the Empress Taifu was justified, and it could also protect Qin Yin’s safety.
Lin Muyu returned to the temple and was immediately stunned when faced with the large number of files in the chief deacon's office.
"What's the matter, deacon?" Ge Yang smiled and said while standing aside.
Lin Muyu only felt that his scalp was a little numb, and said, "Grandpa Ge Yang, the temple should indeed hire a few civilian officials. Many of these files do not need to be reviewed by me personally. This is a waste of my time."
Ge Yang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The old man knows. Later, some of them will let Deacon Zheng select civilian officials with sufficient qualifications. However, most of the temples are martial artists, and not many people can read."
"There will always be."
"Yes…"
Lin Muyu calmed down. After sitting down, she flipped through and reviewed the dossiers, and there were still some details about the selection of the temple personnel of the empire, the transfer of funds, etc., which was very tedious and boring, and it was much more boring than practice. Fortunately, Lin Muyu could be silent. Cultivating forged keel fragments in the body will not waste a lot of time.
When the sun was setting, before dusk, suddenly the guard of the temple outside respectfully said: "Grand deacon, the imperial army leads the wind to continue to see you."
"Oh, let him in."
"Yes…"
Feng Jixing walked into the office quietly, sat down on the corner of the deacon's desk honestly, and smiled: "Oh, the deacon is reviewing the memorial again?"
"It's just a dossier, the emperor's memorial." Lin Muyu looked up at him and smiled: "Didn't it make an appointment to drink at night? Why did Brother Feng come so early?"
"Haha." Feng Jixing laughed loudly: "I want to take you to a place before drinking."
"Where?"
"Ministry of Engineering, Department of Weapons."
"Oh? The Arms Division?"
"Yeah, let's go, put down your files, the treasures there are much better than these files..."
"okay…"
After leaving the temple, Lin Muyu turned on his horse and rode to the Imperial Ministry of Industry on a gallop of Taxue and Wind. Neither of them had guards. There was no need at all. The two major sanctuary of the empire, who would dare? Hit their idea
The horse has fast feet. After entering the Ministry of Engineering, there were scenes of various supervision of manufacturing processes along the way. When Feng Jixing took Lin Muyu into the depths of the Ministry of Engineering, he finally saw a very solemn building standing there from a distance. , And heavily guarded outside, at least more than 200 guards are strictly guarding around.
It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden in it.
"Remember Qin Ziling?" Feng Jixing asked.
"Remember, what happened to Ziling?"
"Without your permission, I directly sent this person to Ouyang He, Shang Shu from the foundry department. The hunting beast crossbow made by Qin Ziling is very sophisticated, so the skilled craftsman of the Ministry of Engineering re-improved it with his drawings. You will be able to see it soon. arrive."
"Ok."
The two came to the gate of the Arms Department, and the soldiers guarding immediately held their fists respectfully: "Wind commander, rain commanded..."
Feng Jixing nodded: "Take us in, Commander Yu and I want to see the power of the arrow box."
"Yes…"
A centurion respectfully led the two into the Department of Weaponry. Not long after, an official dressed in civilian uniforms greeted him. He was about 50 years old, but his face was pale with deep wrinkles. He clasped his fists and smiled. : "Ouyang He sees wind commander, rain commander..."
Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "Master Ouyang, you are welcome, I will bring Commander Yu to see our new weapon."
"Yes, please take the rain commander here."
Lin Muyu was at a loss, wondering what exactly this arrow box is, is it a continuous-fire new equipment similar to a continuous crossbow? If so, I have actually seen it a long time ago, but I don't know how to make it and I don't understand the principle.
Ouyang He took the two of them all the way to the shooting range of the Weaponry Department. Not far away, a group of people wearing civilian official uniforms of the Ministry of Industry were playing with a black box. The box was full of dense arrows showing holes. Sure enough It is the legendary arrow box. One of these civilian officials is Qin Ziling. Seeing Lin Muyu's arrival, he hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Ziling see the chief deacon."
Lin Muyu saw that Qin Ziling's military rank had been upgraded to a commander of a thousand. He was in the Weaponry Department and seemed to be incorporated into the imperial army. He nodded and said with a smile: "You are welcome, Ziling."
Qin Ziling said with some shame: "Without the permission of the chief deacon, Ziling joined the Department of Weaponry. It is really... I'm sorry, the chief deacon, and the chief deacon forgive me."
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, and lightly patted Qin Ziling on the shoulder, and said: "What silly boy said, your talents in the Department of Weapons have a place for you, I can't be happy for you..."
"The deacon is really happy for Ziling?"
"Well, take me to see the weapons you developed."
"Yes…"
Qin Ziling gave an order, and the two soldiers pushed the arrow box to move slowly, aiming at a distant target. This target was very far away, about 200 meters away, which was already the upper limit of the range of a bow and arrow, and the target was very thick. The wood looked almost half a meter thick visually, Lin Muyu frowned, and his eyes fell on the arrow in the box.
Ouyang He smiled slightly and took an arrow from the table beside him. He saw that the head of the arrow was full of flames. He smiled and said: "This kind of arrow is specially made and tempered with fire poison. The venom of the two kinds of poisonous weeds, Tianzhu and Phytolacca sylvestris in the south of the fire poison, sees the blood in the throat, and the powerful vitality of the armor demon in time cannot resist this toxin."
Lin Muyu was surprised and asked, "Have you tried this toxin on Armored Demon?"
"Yeah." Ouyang He nodded, "Thanks to the few living armor demon that Yu Commander brought back from Daojiang's position, we were able to experiment. It's a pity that these armor demon couldn't help poisoning, and they all died."
"Hey…"
"Okay, ready to release arrows..."
"Yes…"
A soldier pulled the wrench and suddenly pulled it suddenly, and suddenly there was the sound of the machine spring twisting in the arrow box, followed by the "swish swish" continuous shooting, almost instantaneously shooting nearly 40 arrows. , And in the distance, on the wall-like target, countless arrows were "snacked", and the force was amazing, and the target was soaring dust.
"Let's go and take a look." Feng Jixing said.
"Ok."
Lin Muyu stepped away, came to the front of the target, and gently drew out an arrow. The whole body of the arrow is made of steel. The arrow is very sharp. It directly penetrated into the wooden target about 20 cm in depth. Ouyang He stood by. Some smugly smiled and said: "The best archer in the Imperial Army is about this ability."
"uncertain."
Lin Muyu had seen Wei Chou’s archery skills. 200 meters away, Wei Chou would surely be able to penetrate this target with one arrow. He gently raised his hand and pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword. Suddenly, the blade of the sword danced brightly around the blade, and with a "bang", it cut into a gap of about 40 cm on a wooden archery target.
"Lord Yu, are you here?" Ouyang He looked surprised.
Lin Muyu said: "I have fought face-to-face with the armor demon, so I know the hardness and toughness of their carapace, it is about this strength to split the armor demon's hard armor, so Master Ouyang, unless your arrow box can shoot The target is 40 cm deep, otherwise it will not be able to penetrate the armored demon's carapace, let alone shoot into the armored demon's body and kill it with poison."
Ouyang He frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult..."
At this time, Qin Ziling behind him said: "Master Ouyang, give me a little more time, and my subordinates are confident to continue to improve the arrow box so that it can meet the requirements of the rain leader, and... our arrow forging also has room for improvement. , As long as you hire enough good craftsmen, I believe you can shoot through the armor of the armor demon."
Ouyang He joyfully said: "Ziling can really do it?"
"Subordinates will go all out..." Qin Ziling said sincerely.
Lin Muyu also smiled and said: "If Ziling can really improve the arrow box to make it a weapon for shooting armored monsters, then I will recommend you to His Highness Qin Yin as the head of the weapon department..."
Qin Ziling said with joy: "Thank you Yu for your leadership, Ziling must do my best..."
At this time, Ouyang He said: "In addition to the arrow box, we also studied the ballista and the ballista. The wind commander and the rain commander will go over and take a look?"
"Okay, Master Ouyang, please lead the way."
"Ok."
Qin Ziling’s drawings were gone, and Ouyang He, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was excited. The Department of Weapons has always been the least favored department of the empire because the Great Qin Empire was negligent in the study of weapons. The people have always been encouraged to practice martial arts and archery, but they have never been encouraged to study weapons.
This time, Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu, the two empire leaders with great powers, have treated the Department of Weapons so seriously, it is enough to make Ouyang He flattered, and it is natural to recommend new weapons...
Ballistas are divided into single ballistas and continuous ballistas. Compared with the arrow box, the disadvantage is that the number of shots is small, and the advantage is that it is light to carry, far not as heavy as the arrow box.
Ouyang He triumphantly said: "This kind of ballista can shoot through 50 cm of wood with one arrow. The distance is close enough to penetrate the body of the armored demon, but the requirements for aiming at the head are too great."
Lin Muyu nodded without speaking.
Ouyang He pointed to a tool that was about two people tall and said, "This is a legendary ballista. It can project boulders and arrows. It is powerful and requires more than ten people to control it. It cannot be fired. It's very heavy and not suitable for combat."
Feng Jixing licked his lips, looked up, and smiled: "It looks quite mighty."
Lin Muyu's eyes lit up and said, "If this kind of ballista is equipped with sharp stones, will it be able to shoot through the side panels of ordinary warships?"
"Yes, definitely..." Ouyang He said excitedly: "What does Yu commander mean?"
"Slightly improved and reduced, it can be equipped on the battleship of the Imperial Navy."
Lin Muyu smugly said: "The demons are not fools. Sooner or later they will fight us to the death on the waters of the Daojiang River, and the Yihe Kingdom will fight us sooner or later. It will be difficult to subdue them without developing water weapons."
Ouyang He was full of red light: "The next official understands, it's just that... The Jinyin coin applied by the Department of Weapons has not been approved for a long time. Lan Gong and Yun Gong have no interest in weapon development, so the dossier has been kept in the Zetian Temple. The front hall can't reach Her Royal Highness."
"Give me the dossier, and I will directly submit it to your Highness." Lin Muyu smiled.
Ouyang He was overjoyed: "Okay... OK... Thank you Yu for commander..."
Feng Jixing also smiled slightly beside him: "Ayu, do we still drink at night?"
"Let's drink after seeing Xiaoyin."
"good…"
