Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 118 Super Consumables

Huang Chengyan took back the missing scale, pulled out the scale, and looked at it. He couldn't figure it out for a while. As a scale for subdividing time, shouldn't the distance between each scale be the same? Could it be a mistake? ?

Seeing that Huang Chengyan did not understand, Fei Qian said: "Huang Gong, in fact, this problem is not too big, but if it is more accurate... Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with the equidistance of the scale scale, but this scale is used for On the water, and a barrel like this, the drip speed is different when it is full and half full, so this scale..."

Huang Chengyan reacted immediately, and immediately called the servants to take out two similar small wooden barrels, one was filled with water, the other was only half filled, and then they both made a small hole in the bottom with a small iron cone After careful observation of the water jets ejected from two wooden barrels with different water volumes, it is indeed the same as what Fei Qian said, but the size is not the same, and as time goes by, the drop rate of the two water levels with different water volumes is also the same. different…

"So that's it!" Pang Tong, who was watching from the side, suddenly understood, and said, "Water also has weight! This bucket has a lot of water, so it is naturally heavier, and the speed of water flow is faster than this bucket, so this benchmark According to this situation, the scale should indeed have the same distance from top to bottom..."

  Huang Chengyan also wanted to understand. Hearing what Pang Tong said, he praised: "Shiyuan can do it. Recently, it seems that he has not only read the classics and history, but also worked **** the investigation of things?"

  Pang Tong was not humble, but a little proud, and said: "That's natural!"

Huang Chengyan said to Fei Qian: "Ziyuan observes meticulously, and it's rare to know Gewu so well, it's amazing!" While thinking in his heart, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan didn't have much interest in Gewu before, but now he actually understands something. Under the influence of this Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan?

   And that small balance, could it be also made by this Fei Qian?

  This Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan really deserves to be a person that Pang Gong valued, knowledgeable and talented...

Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "It's getting late now, you two might as well stay here. I have sent someone to summon the craftsmen, and tomorrow Riyuan will send people the materials needed for the arrows here. Now you can start making arrows!"

  Pang Tong didn't care, he stayed as long as he wanted, anyway, the Pang family and the Huang family were so familiar.

   On the contrary, Fei Qian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, a stone in his heart was finally half dropped, so he bowed his hands to Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, to thank him.

   When it comes to making arrows, Fei Qian is actually a little curious. After all, bows and arrows are long-range weapons for individual soldiers in the Han Dynasty. He happened to meet Huang Jia Huang Chengyan, a master craftsman, so he took this opportunity to ask him for advice.

   When it comes to making utensils, this is Huang Chengyan's strong point. He has a bold personality and has no intention of hiding anything, so he asked his servants to fetch a few arrows.

  Originally, those fired with a bow are called arrows, while those fired with a crossbow are called arrows.

  These arrows are very exquisite. Although Fei Qian doesn’t understand them very well, they feel very good in the hand. The arrows are sharp, the shafts are smooth, and the tail feathers are straight. The overall proportions are coordinated and full of beauty.

  Fei Qian took the arrow and the arrow, observed and compared them, and listened to the introduction of Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family.

   This time Cai Hao said that he wanted to train two thousand archers, so naturally what he wanted to do was to shoot arrows.

  The arrows of the Han Dynasty are similar to the impression of Feiqian's later generations. They are composed of three parts, the arrowhead, the arrow shaft and the tail feather.

According to Huang Chengyan, since it is an ordinary arrow made in the military, there is no need for precision craftsmanship, and it only needs to be qualified, so it is not too difficult. If you want to customize bows and arrows for individuals, it is called a complicated one, not only good materials , but also to consider from the length of the hand to the length of the arm, and then from the strength of the bow to the center of gravity of the arrow, everything must be in line with the person using the bow to be called the best. These arrows are actually samples left by someone just now...

  Pang Tong let out an "oh" and said, "It must be that Han Sheng came here just now to find Huang Gong's arrows?"

  Huang Chengyan nodded and said: "Exactly, the bow of Han Sheng is stronger, and the arrows of ordinary craftsmen can be used, but after all, they are not as good as custom-made ones, so they came to me again..."

   Han Sheng? Huang Hansheng? Fei Qian was taken aback for a moment, this is a genius...

But then Huang Chengyan and Pang Tong didn't talk about Huang Hansheng again, so it was hard for Fei Qian to ask. After all, he really didn't know each other, so it was a bit strange to ask rashly, and if it was a lie, it would be even worse if it was exposed. Now, so I can only wait for the next opportunity to understand...

  Huang Chengyan pulled the head of an arrow from the shaft, handed it to Fei Qian, and said: "The arrow is divided into two parts, one is called the arrow blade, and the other is the arrow collar..."

  The arrow blade is naturally the part of the triangular point used to stab people, and this is the first time I have seen the arrow collar Feiqian.

According to Huang Chengyan, this arrow collar is used to insert the shaft, and it must be thin and hard. The length of the arrow collar must be longer than the length of the arrow. "The crime of...

  The arrow is not the most delicate part, nor is it the most troublesome. After all, the arrow is filled with molten iron and polished in batches. Although the requirements are high, the process is not too much.

  The most important process for arrows is the making of the arrow shaft.

  The arrow shaft is made of spring wood.

   It does not mean that there is a kind of tree called spring, but that it is better to cut it in spring, and it is easy to split in autumn, and it is necessary to cut the tree located in the shade of the mountain.

  But anyway, the materials are provided by Yiji, so there is no need to worry about the wood...

  The most important requirement of the arrow shaft is that it must be straight!

  However, the wood is often not always straight. If you don’t care about the direction of the wood grain, the arrow shaft made by cutting it directly is easy to break, and it is inferior. A good arrow shaft must follow the wood grain throughout.

  So if it is a curved wood grain, it must be baked manually, and then straightened and corrected, which takes a lot of effort.

In addition, arrow shaft polishing is also a part of the main man-hours. It is called "tie rod". It is to use a special tool to polish the original square arrow shaft into a circle, and it needs to be divided into two parts, one rough polishing and one fine polishing. There must be a gap of one day between the two times to allow the wood to adapt so that it will not deform...

  Another point is that when processing the arrow shafts, the weight of each arrow shaft must be basically the same, otherwise the previous arrow will be extremely heavy, and the next arrow will be light and light.

  After listening to Huang Chengyan's explanation, Fei Qian realized why what Huang Chengyan said was a coincidence. Without a large number of skilled craftsmen, it is really not an easy task to make arrows that meet the standards...

  Although the custom-made ordinary arrows in the military do not need too many exquisite things, after all, there is too much manual work, and it takes a lot of time...

   Moreover, this thing is a consumable item. Although it can be recycled, it is also easy to damage... No wonder the price of moving is tens of thousands. In Fei Qian's impression, how much Zhuge Caochuan stole at once with the help of arrows?

   That still hit the boat, and those who didn’t get hit fell into the water more...

   Is there any way to simplify it...

It takes time to make bows and arrows, so archers can only afford them if they have conditions. Most of the time, miscellaneous soldiers will be given a wooden stick. It is great to be able to have a gun head... It is very cool to cover the blow with arrow rain, but it needs There are too many prerequisites, it’s not just a matter of saying that 10,000 archers will shoot a volley in the XX area... The author asks for a recommendation ticket and collects it...
