"Okay, you have made all the crossbows for me, which is worth rewarding. Let me save ten jars of sorghum wine from me, and reward them to the craftsmen of the weapon supervisor." Lu Bu was so happy that the crossbows were heavy weapons, which were used to attack and defend the city. In addition to the good practical effect, it has a greater function to shock the enemy.

These craftsmen in the Weapon Supervision can only be said to be of third-rate level.

After more than ten years of war in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the craftsmen ran away and suffered heavy losses. Lu Bu was pitiful with little family background.

As for Mo Jun, it was a local carpenter's workshop after all. Although it could be done, Lu Bu was worried about letting them make such a powerful weapon.

Li Tiehan said: "Our craftsmen are of good quality. They used to be because of war and running around, and there were no stable places. Now they have stabilized and have complete tools. If you make some things, you are not just catching a turtle in your pocket, so you can take it safely."

Li Tiehan blew it up, and the craftsman next to him wanted to remind him that it was hard to say.

Lu Bu looked carefully and saw that the crossbow arm could be one meter five meters long, mixed with mulberry wood, and dense twine wrapped around it.

The single crossbow is very easy to go to Xuan. With a maximum of two stones, you can quickly go to Xuan by turning it alone.

Lu Bu asked: "Have you tested it, how far can I shoot?"

"I have tested it twice when I returned to the lord. I chose a light wooden crossbow arrow. Without arrows installed, the range of a single-arm crossbow is 100 meters. The range of a double-arm crossbow is 120 meters." Li Tiehan said.

Lu Bu was still very satisfied with his range. One zhang is about two meters and four meters, and a one-arm crossbow range of one hundred feet is 240 meters. If you use heavy arrows, the effective range will be quite powerful even if it is 150 meters. The most important thing is that it is bright and brisk, with a fast firing rate. It can form dense firepower coverage.

There are many processes that a weapon needs to go through from design and production to mass production, but it is relatively simple during the war.

Lu Bu and his group pushed two cars and crossbows to the open field on the river beach to experiment.

Lu Bu turned his arms and waved his arms to Xuan, and his personal soldiers set off crossbow arrows, shot them out, and shot them out in a whirlwind.

Ten shots were shot one after another, each of which was different from the landing point, some were far and near, some were left and right, and the rope was pulled to test the distance. They were basically between 100 and 120 feet.

The penetration power of the two-arm crossbow is stronger and the force is greater. However, the single-arm crossbow has faster firing speed and has more firepower.

"The iron man did a good job and made great progress. The combat effectiveness of our Xuzhou army will be greatly increased with the vehicle crossbow. However, this type of vehicle crossbow may not be accurate, and it requires a lot of equipment." Lu Bu said.

Li Tiehan dared not speak loudly. The construction of the crossbow is now cast in steel, which is more sturdy and durable than the copper one. However, the production process of mulberry-mural crossbow arms is really slow.

"It will take some time for a large amount of equipment," said Li Tiehan.

"If the range of the shooting range is to reach 200 feet, can it be done?" Lu Bu asked.

Li Tiehan looked embarrassed and said, "It can be done, but it is very difficult. First of all, the chassis of the wheelbarrow cannot be used, and a two-wheeled car must be used. Three bow arms are required, and the number of six people on the Xuan is required. The body is bulky and the cost is too high."

The technology is not so advanced these days. If you want to have a long range, you must increase the crossbow arm and increase the overall weight, sacrificing flexibility and firing rate.

"Then use the frame body to make a three-arm crossbow. We mainly use one-arm, two-arm, and a small number of three-arms as the auxiliary." Lu Bu arranged.

Li Tiehan wrote down one by one: "Okay lord."

Lu Bu asked again: "How long will it take to build one hundred single-arm crossbows?"

"It will take a year," said Li Tiehan.

“Why is it so slow?”

Li Tiehan said: "The crossbow arms of the crossbow are processed in one year. Now there are only a few more than thirty people in stock. If the crossbow arms are sufficient, it will be completed in just one month."

"Then build thirty crossbows first and complete them as soon as possible, which is useful. In addition, prepare more crossbow arms and prepare them for later use." Lu Bu said.

"It's the lord."

Li Tiehan arranged to make it quickly, and Lu Bu ordered Liu An of the sword shop to make some simple short spears as big arrows for crossbows. The arrow was a short spear, and the wooden pole was lighter ash wax rod. This big arrow was as long as a mop rod and had no tail feathers. The accuracy of shooting was poor. In order to increase the terrifying effect, the big arrow made a whistle on it and made a scattered scream while flying in the air.

In the era when steel manufacturing was underdeveloped, mulberry, ash and other wood were the main materials for making supplies. This spring, the governor mobilized the people to plant hundreds of thousands of mulberry, ash, elm and other trees.

Lu Bu said again: "The craftsmen in the Weapons workshop have worked hard, and you will be rewarded with twenty boxes of bone soup noodles. Remember to send them to the front-line craftsmen."

"Okay lord."

Li Tiehan is very grateful and never dares to brag again.

Fortunately, Lu Bu did not make any excessive demands. If he forced him to produce on a large scale, he would have to suffer.

After the experiment, I returned to the city, and it was getting late, and a red sun set.

Lu Bu rode the Red Rabbit Horse and walked slowly home in small steps.

This big red rabbit is very proud recently. He has many wives. He walks mischievously on the road and makes noises from time to time.

When the people saw Lu Bu coming, they greeted him and made way for the way.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, familiar with the people nearby.

"Dad, you're back."

As soon as Lu Bu entered the house, a figure rushed over.

It turned out to be that little girl Lu Ling.

The little girl is fourteen years old and is very tall, at least 1.6 meters tall.

"Let your father see, is there any change?" Lu Bu said, holding the girl's hand.

Lu Ling curled her lips and said, "Dad just returned home more than ten days ago, how could there be any changes? But I started practicing martial arts. Look at my marksmanship, hehehe."

This little girl was playing a wooden gun from somewhere and was making random gestures.

Lu Bu said with a straight face: "Why do you learn this if a girl doesn't learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"Didn't my father often say that life is like a grass dog in troubled times? I'll learn to protect my mother and others. If you don't go home often, there must be someone to protect your family," said Lu Ling.

Lu Bu thought it was really reasonable. Although he had the guards day and night to protect him, he was still not wrong to know some martial arts.

"Then tell dad, do you really want to learn or make fun of it?" Lu Bu asked.

"I really want to learn, and when I grow up, I will learn from my father and beat Cao thief." Lu Ling said.

Mrs. Yan came out and said, "When you come back, just mess with your child. Hurry up and go to the backyard to have a look. The yard is full of melons."

Lu Bu took off his armor and changed into casual clothes. When he came to the backyard, he was stunned at that time. The huge watermelon garden was full of black beauty watermelons. They were not big, and they weighed about four or five kilograms after one thorn. It was about eight kilograms to convert it into a Han kilogram.
