    In the evening, another group of distinguished guests from Sakhalin arrived, Zhao Luan and Lu Jiuyuan.  .

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, when Lu Jiuyuan came to Sakhalin Island this time, he first passed through Zhafang and met Zhao Guan on the same road, so they came hand in hand today.

    Lu Jiuyuan was promoted to the Chief Superintendent of Ordnance Supervision, and is now a fourth-rank official. This is naturally because he has made extraordinary achievements in weapons production in the past two years and God has ascended the throne, so Lu Jiuyuan took this position.  Historically, Lu Jiuyuan's official rank was Zhijun of the fifth rank (Jing'men Zhijun, Zhijingmen's army). In this time and space, with Mao Geng's plug-in, Lu Jiuyuan showed off his talents in weapons manufacturing.  Chairman, Mr. Xiangshan¡¯s appeal and organizational skills are first-class. In addition, Lu Jiuyuan is also famous for his hard work in his career. Finally, the arms manufacturing industry of the Song Dynasty has entered an era. It should be said that things have reached this point.  , the Minister of Equipment Department of the Song Dynasty was none other than Lu Jiuyuan.

    "Mr. Lu, are you feeling well?" Lu Jiuyuan's complexion is actually better now than before, but Lu Jiuyuan's health is very weak, and he will feel uncomfortable every time he goes on a long voyage. That's why Mao Geng asked.

    "It's okay this time. In the past two years, Mr. Peng has been prescribing medicine and acupuncture for me. I have practiced Tai Chi several times every day. Gradually, my health has improved. Haha, it's easy to worry about trouble.  Nothing happened this time, maybe I¡¯ve gotten used to it after taking many boat rides!¡±

    Historically, in 1193, that is, next year, Lu Jiuyuan died while serving in Jingmen. It can be said that Lu Jiuyuan's death was due to exhaustion due to illness and overloaded work.  During his tenure at Jing'men, Lu Jiuyuan's political achievements were outstanding, and Zhou Bida praised him highly, saying that officials from all over the country should follow Lu Jiuyuan as an example of "doing their best".  It's really no better than I don't know. When it comes to "people's servants", in terms of ability, character, and attitude, there are very few cadres in the later dynasties who can be ranked in front of Lu Jiuyuan.

    Lu Jiuyuan is in good health now, and his chronic diseases seem to be under effective control. Mao Geng feels relieved that Mr. Xiangshan in front of him does not seem to die young at the age of 54.

    Zhao Jue, Mao Geng, Han Yuzhou and Lu Jiuyuan are the old team members who worked together in Taiwan. At the reception banquet, they exchanged greetings and expressed their feelings before getting down to business.

    It is actually no secret that Lu Jiuyuan came this time. As a weapons supervisor, it is Lu Jiuyuan's responsibility to develop the military industry of the Song Dynasty.  The problem is that the military manufacturing industry of the Song Dynasty is now increasingly dependent on the Mao Group. Some key technologies are still in the hands of the Mao Group. Therefore, the military production of the Song Dynasty is just like that of the later dynasties in the 1990s.  In this situation, key components have to be imported, and some domestic military factories are responsible for the assembly of dry goods.  Having said that, it is not surprising that the Minister of Arms of the Song Dynasty would come to Sakhalin Island in person to discuss with Mao Geng the development of the military industry of the Song Dynasty. This seems to be the intended meaning of the title.

    This time, Lu Jiuyuan not only came by himself, but also brought a large technical team. Although a small part of them came for interactive exchanges and were mostly visiting scholars, most of them came to participate in further training.  , which is similar to the "China-US Peace Model" military-industrial cooperation in the 1980s.  In the 1980s, the United States once liberalized military and technical cooperation with China, and batches of military and military technicians went abroad, broadened their horizons, and learned some advanced military technology.  Now, Lu Jiuyuan has brought a class of advanced training students. In terms of scale, there are more than 120 people, which is not a small number. This is the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch in the future.

    As for why more than 120 people came all at once, it was because they had to solve the problem of upgrading the Song Dynasty bows and crossbows. This was something Mao Geng had suggested to Lu Jiuyuan before.  The number of arrows in the Song Dynasty is an astronomical figure. If it is not used properly, it will of course be a huge waste. Moreover, the production of rifles and shotguns is limited, and the cost of arrows is higher than that of arrows. From an economic perspective  'Looking at it, since bows and arrows cannot be completely eliminated for the time being, there is only one way to improve the efficiency of bows and arrows.

    It is worth explaining that the Zhuge Liannu's shooting range is limited, and it is effective at a distance of twenty or thirty steps at most. Therefore, according to Mao Geng's plan, in terms of bows and arrows, steel wire pulley crossbows must be developed, and the bulky crossbows must be developed.  The 'bed' crossbow also needs to be improved. In addition to using a wire pulley, a ratchet structure must also be used.  However, the wire pulley crossbow is not that easy to make. It is just a steel wire rope that looks very simple. In fact, it is not that different. I have to say that each row has its own rules. The steel wire rope is not only exquisite in materials.  , heat treatment must also be paid attention to. It took a year or two to figure out some of the ways. It was only this year that steel wire ropes suitable for crossbows were officially produced.

    Two months ago, Mao¡¯s steel wire pulley crossbow was finally triedAfter the production was successful, the prototype bow was sent to Lu Jiuyuan soon, and then Lu Jiuyuan began to prepare for this trip.

    "Yisheng, this wire pulley bow is pretty good, but it has one problem. It is more delicate, easier to damage than traditional bows, and difficult to maintain."

    Mao Geng also knew that this was an inherent problem with the wire pulley bow. To say that the leather was thicker, of course the traditional bow was much more durable. Mao Geng looked at Ma Fen, who understood and immediately said:

    "Mr. Lu, according to our method, there are two ways to use the wire pulley crossbow. One is to shoot straight, and the other is to throw. The distance of throwing is more than two hundred meters. This is difficult to do with old-fashioned crossbows.  Got it. The advantage of the wire pulley crossbow is that it saves effort. In other words, it can 'shoot' farther with the same force, so throwing 'shooting' is its main advantage. As for direct 'shooting', this requires training. I  I think the archers of the Song Dynasty should be able to master the use of wire pulley bows after training for a period of time."

    Ma Fen paused and continued:

    "I think that weapons like bows and arrows will be used for defense in the future, well, for defending the city. If the city is defended, the maintenance of the wire pulley bow will not be a big problem. As long as there is a dedicated person responsible for maintenance, the wire pulley  The bow is still very easy to use. Besides, even with the steel wire pulley bow, the old-fashioned crossbow can still be used. It can kill enemies from twenty to thirty meters away. The Zhuge Liannu is easy to use. From thirty meters to 100 meters, it is the strength of the old-fashioned crossbow.  Of course, you can also use a wire pulley bow. One hundred meters to two hundred meters, or even farther away, is the effective range of the wire pulley bow. If it is further away, you have to use the Song Dynasty's bed crossbow.  .¡±

    That being said, the Japanese soldiers currently trained by Ma Fen are not equipped with traditional bows at all, but are only equipped with Zhuge repeating crossbows and wire pulley bows. The production cycle of traditional bows is long and the cost is much higher than that of wire pulley bows. Mao Group  Of course, there is no time to make these old-fashioned bows and arrows that are destined to be eliminated.

    That makes sense, Lu Jiuyuan nodded.  Lu Jiuyuan also knew that the shooting range of a rifle was far away, unlike shooting arrows, which was a heavy physical activity. When a pot of arrows was shot down, the archer's arms would become sore and his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Rifles replaced bows and arrows.  That is the general trend.

    "General Ma is right, and Mr. Lu also knows that no matter how powerful a person is, it is not as powerful as the explosive power of gunpowder. Firearms are the focus of our future military manufacturing in the Song Dynasty, so this time I came to talk to Chief Mao  Discuss expanding the production of rifles and shotguns.¡±

    "There are also artillery. The output of artillery is too low. The production of this artillery must be greatly expanded." Zhao Huan stood aside and did not forget to remind him that of course rifles and other things must be made on a large scale, and artillery must be made at all costs.

    Mao Geng thought to himself, Zhao Huan is really an impatient person, but just in time, he thought that we were about to sell our mortars, so he smiled and said:

    "His Royal Highness, Mr. Xiangshan and Mr. Han are here at the right time. We have just built a new type of artillery. Compared with the artillery you have seen before, it has special advantages. I dare to say responsibly that there is  With this kind of mortar, the Song Dynasty's 'bed' crossbow can be completely withdrawn."

    "Oh, I want to see it, I'll see it tomorrow. Yi Sheng, please make arrangements now." Zhao Luan was a little impatient, wanting to see what the mortar looked like and what magical powers it had.

    Shi Baoxiang followed closely behind Beihai County Prince Zhao Lu, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time. His right hand was always clasped around his waist. In the tan leather holster around his waist, there was a Mao Type 91 pistol.  Whenever something happens, Shi Baoxiang can pull out his pistol at an extraordinary speed at any time and shoot down anyone who dares to go against the king.

    The prince just arrived at Sakhalin Island yesterday. Mr. Han from Taisong Maritime Trade arrived the day before yesterday. It is said that Mr. Han will soon become the commander-in-chief of the navy. Together with Lu Jiuyuan, the prince and Chief Mao as well as Han and Lu  , they had fought side by side in Taiwan back then, and they were old friends. When the four of them got together, they were very excited.  When he was happy, His Royal Highness the County Prince drank a little too much last night. After drinking too much, he started talking about "push cannon" and didn't know what "push cannon" was.

    At this moment, a crowd of people gathered around His Royal Highness like stars holding the moon. They were going to the playground. It was said that Chief Mao had created another powerful weapon. Shi Baoxiang subconsciously rubbed the holster of his pistol, thinking  Dao didn't know what kind of magical weapon it was that was worthy of such an effort.  The revolver he is carrying is magical enough, but if there is a good weapon, according to the prince's character, he will definitely get one for himself. Who calls himself a prince?  His Highness's powerful bodyguard!

    When we arrived at a mountain col, we could see a circle of sentries posted around us from a distance. Those sentries should be carrying rifles or shotguns. With such tight protection, there should be no problem with security. Even so, Shi Baofu  Still focused on something else, he just glanced at the scene out of the corner of his eye, looking at all directions, always taking precautions against unexpected events.Targets have been set up on the hillside of the mountain. Do you want to try shooting muskets?

    Then, I saw Chief Mao taking a strange thing from the hands of someone next to him. What is this?  The whole body is made of steel, emitting a faint blue light. There are wheels at both ends, and two ropes of unknown material are hung on them. Is this also a kind of bow and arrow?  Zhuge Liannu also has a strange appearance. Could this thing be more magical than Zhuge Liannu?

    This thing was handed from the hands of Chief Mao to His Highness the Prince of the County. His Highness was seen stroking the thing for a while, then he took an arrow handed over by Chief Mao, nocked the arrow, and raised the thing with his left hand.  Make the bow look like "wanting to shoot".

    It is indeed a bow!  The novel "Dream of the Song Dynasty" will have so much fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% 'draw' prize for everyone!  Open WeChat now, click the "+" sign on the upper right "Add Friend", search the official account "qdread" and follow it, hurry up!
