Chapter 187 (1/2)

PS: Thank you for the reward of ”Huang Yinglong” and ”fallen angel”. To tell you the truth, I was really scared when I saw the reward of 50000 yuan Thank you very much for your support.

PS1: Thank you for the vote of ”dark evil” and ”Ibrahim”! Thank you, 300 appraisal votes have been reached, and I am in a good mood ~ hehe ~

PS2: let's stop the problem of magic sticks. I don't want Kay to become a ”God said” prodigy. No one knows about his foundation for thousands of years, so let's call it a day.

PS3: sure enough, England still needs a fleet to enjoy!

Rocal raised his hand and exclaimed, ”rudder! Turn the rudder

Suddenly, three or four strong men pushed the rudder hard, but slowly turned the rudder over, and the hull began to move sideways.

It's not about leaving or fighting. It's Keller's Secret Weapon - ”crossbow preparation!”

The stone crossbow is not an arrow. It is soaked in tung oil for 60 days through the crossbow inlaid on both sides of the ship's side, and then the tendons are twisted. The tendons are soaked in fish glue and turpentine. They are very elastic. Even ordinary people can't pull them apart. So there is a kind of thing called winch here.

The winch is formed by a cross, with a strong man on each side slowly pushing it, and finally pulling the string to half open, which is almost OK. Opening it again may increase the range and power, but it will cause damage to the bowstring. This half open state is enough to shoot a distance of more than 1000 meters. In this century of only bows and arrows, the range of bows and arrows is about 230 meters This kind of weapon can be said to be cross era.

Of course, this weapon is not without weaknesses. First of all, it takes a long time to load ammunition, about once every 30 seconds. But in terms of its power, it is not a problem, because a red leaf warship has eight crossbows on one side and sixteen crossbows on both sides. Then there is the problem of ammunition.

The East-West track is concave, in other words, it is used to launch stone bombs. The requirements of this kind of stone bombs are very high, and it must be mined and polished by stonemasons above intermediate level, which increases the cost and time.

Maybe some people will say why not use metal? As long as the metal melts, it is easy to make ammunition in batches with a mold.

but there is one thing that can not be ignored: now the mining industry is not developed, iron is valuable. To the armor, sword, arrow, spear, horseshoe, horse armor, down to the ore pick, shovel, plow, no need for huge iron, Camaro is an island country, and can not waste iron on a large scale. All over the mountains and plains,

lead is too heavy, and it is a great pressure on the ship's load. Bronze is much more than lead. So, finally, we can only choose stones from all over the mountains and make complaints about ammunition (Tucao, England is really a lot of stones).

However, don't underestimate this thing. It's not made by Keller, nor created by him with the wisdom of later generations. It's the ”homework” that his students completed in three years after he put forward the idea!!

Never underestimate the wisdom of ancient people!

The aim rate of the target can be increased by 20 times of the target accuracy of the target, which is similar to the target accuracy of the target set by the target!
