”Alright, I definitely won't let you down.”
When they heard that there were also rewards, the craftsmen became excited and excitedly took their designs to work. The few little girls were not interested in working, so they followed Yang Lin out of the workshop. Zheng Wei and Zhang Ying looked at Yang Lin in confusion, but after thinking for a while, she suddenly asked.
”How far can the lithoclast you designed shoot?”
This caused Yang Lin to be stumped, he truly couldn't remember how far lithoclast could throw a rock. Furthermore, a rock could also be big or small, it couldn't be generalized. However, according to the principle of leverage, after doing some mental calculations, he came up with a rough conclusion.
”According to my design, this kind of lithoclast should be able to shoot from eight hundred to a thousand steps. However, depending on the size of the stone, the stone will definitely be closer. ”
”If we can shoot from eight hundred to a thousand paces, we can destroy the defenses on the walls. But how long does it take to make one? ”
”I don't know yet. However, let's try it out first. If it's okay, we'll do a lot. ”
”Then will we have to march with such a stupid big guy in the future?”
”No need, I designed all kinds of artifacts to be of standard sizes. When I didn't use them, I would take them down, and when necessary, I would assemble all of the artifacts to make another lithoclast.”
”Doesn't that mean that there will be a special person to control these lithoclast?”
”Of course, I want to find Qiao Mao and ask him for ten thousand people to train them into a lithoclast team just for attacking cities.”
Hehe, this is an opportunity for you to find Qiao Mao.
”You're smart. I find myself liking you more and more.”
”Go, be serious.”
Maybe it was because of Yang Lin's rewards, but in the afternoon of the second day, Wang Po came to find Yang Lin, saying that the lithoclast had finished their work and wanted to invite Yang Lin to take a look. From his smile, Yang Lin could guess that they had already tried it. He immediately ordered Yang Hu to notify the various generals and advisors to take a look.
”Brothers, Military Advisors, let's invite you to take a look at a new weapon. Carpenters are waiting on the field.
On the field, more than a hundred carpenters were gathered together, conducting the final inspection. All of them had excited expressions on their faces. The older craftsman chided while rubbing his hands and circling the lithoclast. From time to time, he glanced at the field and waited anxiously for Yang Lin's group to come.
”He's coming.”
It was unknown who shouted, but everyone immediately stood together, waiting for Generals to come over. Yang Lin and the rest walked to the front of the lithoclast, and the artisans immediately greeted them. Yang Lin waved his hands and asked the older carpenter.
”Have you tried it?”
”Sir, we have already tried it several times, there shouldn't be any problems. ”Lord, all the generals and strategists, please come take a look, we will demonstrate this once for you.”
”Today is a good day. There will definitely be good news. Let's start. Let's all take a look. ”
”Alright, then we'll begin.”
A few carpenters went forward and pulled lithoclast s over, pressing them behind the seats of the lithoclast. The three carpenters lifted a large stone that weighed several dozen pounds and placed it in the magazine. The carpenters all turned to look at Yang Lin. Yang Lin nodded his head, the older carpenter shouted.
”Fire!”
Everyone's eyes were fixated on the lithoclast, only to see the craftsmen loosen their grip, the ejection rod suddenly stood up from behind and swung forward. That large stone immediately soared into the sky and let out a whistling sound. It drew a beautiful arc in the air before flying into the distance.
”Bang …”
There was only a deafening muffled sound as the huge rock smashed into the ground at the end of the field. The entire field shook a few times, startling everyone who was standing on the field.
”Good boy, if you were to smash on the city wall, wouldn't it collapse?”
Xu Zhu shouted loudly. He was the first to rush out, and everyone ran towards the end of the field. When they saw the boulder, they were all dumbfounded. The rock had sunk so deep into the ground that if they wanted to touch it again, they would have to dig it out with tools.
”One thousand two hundred steps.”
Zhang Banxian suddenly shouted from the distance. Everyone was looking at the stone, but he was someone who knew what she was doing, so she personally measured the distance. When Yang Lin heard this, it was even better than he thought. Seems like she did not learn physics for nothing, her interest was immediately piqued and she shouted towards the distance.
