Chapter 731: An Iron Shelf


"It's not going to be bad, then how can you think too much.

"In that case, are you just humiliating the old man and the others?"

Hou Junji rolled his eyes angrily, you talked for a long time, Lao Tzu thought you could make a crossbow that wouldn't break, but you actually said that it could be broken, so what are you pretending to be.

Li Muyun knew that he must not be able to carry this charge, so he took over and said: "You can't say that, we are discussing, and it has nothing to do with humiliation or not, the reason why I ask like this is because I have a way to solve these problems." ” "How to solve it" Li Shimin was somewhat interested and sat up straight.

"Simple" Li Muyun snapped his fingers: "Unified standards, modularization and standardization of all equipment, as long as this can be done, the problem of equipment renewal can be easily solved." ” "What do you mean?"

Modular, standardized, a few old guys sitting together can understand every word, but what it means together is a little confusing.

Seeing that it had successfully aroused the interest of the old goods, Li Muyun smiled slightly: "That's it, I just got a shelf and put it outside, if you are interested, I can let people bring it in, so that it can be better explained." ” "Well, bring it in."

Li Shimin really wanted to see what the miraculous thing that was blown by Li Muyun looked like.

A moment later, a shelf made of pure iron was carried into the courtyard and placed next to the eight-ox crossbow.

A few old goods invariably surrounded them, looked at them for a long time, and then looked at Li Muyun with a confused face: "Aren't you just replacing wood with iron, this is what you call modularity" "Of course."

Li Muyun nodded, and beckoned to the few strong men who had just brought things in: "A few of you, dismantle this thing and let a few adults take a look." ” "No" A few strong men agreed, stepped forward quickly, took out the tools in their hands and tinkered with the square shelf for a while, and soon the shelf was broken down into dozens of large or small iron pieces.

"This, what is this for" Li Shimin circled around the pile of dismantled iron, vaguely thinking of something in his heart, but he was a little uncertain.

Li Muyun smiled and said: "These are all built according to certain standards, and each piece has its own number. ” As he spoke, he lifted up a relatively long piece of iron: "For example, this one, the mark on it is foot 1, that is to say, this is an outrigger, numbered 1, three feet high, but it is located in front of the left, if this shelf is damaged in battle, then it can be removed from any other equipment, and it can be used directly by installing it."

And you don't have to worry about whether it works or not. ” "And this is just a frame for an eight-ox crossbow, and we can also produce some trebuchet racks, and the height of the legs can be made to the same standard as this, that is, in the future, if there is a battle, as long as there are some spare parts, we can always transform the eight-ox crossbow into a trebuchet, and in the same way, the trebuchet can also be changed into an eight-ox crossbow."

"This is the benefit of modularization and standardization, the entire equipment, all the accessories can be disassembled at any time, can be replaced at will, so as to ensure the reliability of the equipment on the battlefield."

"Of course, another advantage of this is that the craftsmen don't have to do too complicated operations, and they don't have to need special people to build different equipment as before, as long as they are uniformly trained, the blacksmith who will be the supervisor can create all the equipment."

"Hey, if that's the case, it seems that there is a real need to upgrade equipment."

Li Jing bowed slightly, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I think it's very necessary, even if I don't consider the reliability of the equipment, this kind of thing that can be disassembled and assembled at any time can also provide great convenience in transportation."

Li Shimin is an emperor in the end, and he looks at the problem differently from Emperor Wen, when he joined the army to fight the first battle, he knew that the eight-ox crossbow and trebuchet were the most troublesome things not to use, but to transport.

These equipment are of great use in siege and siege warfare, but transportation is also a big problem, an eight-ox crossbow can easily cost hundreds of catties, and transporting it to the battlefield itself is a big problem, if it is a short march, it is fine, if it is a long march, this thing can only take away the bow above, and the lower shelf is thrown down.

But if according to the current modular design, there is no need to be so troublesome to bring equipment to the battlefield in the future, as long as it is disassembled, each person carries a few pieces on their backs, and then assembles them together on the battlefield, it is very cost-effective in terms of time alone, and even if possible, a large number of troops can be equipped.

Thinking of the large number of equipment troops, Li Shimin's eyes were already burning with raging flames of war, and he seemed to see hundreds or thousands of eight-bull crossbows launching a stormy attack on the enemy's army.

In the past, when facing the enemy's attack, it was covered with bows and arrows, and it is estimated that it will not be used in the future, so get more eight-bull crossbows, and whoever dares to fight against Datang at that time will directly cover them with eight-bull crossbows, and smash them with crossbows more than one meter long, even if there are 100,000 people attacking, they will kill half of them for him at a time.

Hou Junji didn't care about raising the bar with Li Muyun at this time, and greeted the strong men who had just dismantled the shelves: "A few of you come over and put up this shelf." ” The strong man didn't dare not listen, so he quickly stepped forward, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he assembled the shelf again.

Looking at the assembled shelves again, Li Shimin, Li Jing and the others soon saw some doorways, pointed to a few connected locations and asked, "Why is this why things can connect iron tools together so quickly?"

"This is called a bolt, which is newly researched by me, and it can come in handy in many ways."

Li Muyun explained.

"Bolt" Li Shimin walked closer, looked at the bolts that were very common in later generations curiously, and even pushed the assembled iron frame himself, and found that the lines were not moving, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"What is this, why are there so many holes in these two legs, and why are these two legs broken," Li Jing quickly found the problem and asked, pointing to the two hind legs of the iron frame.

Li Muyun explained confidently: "This one is used to adjust the height, and the Eight Bull Crossbow can be used for upward shooting, flat shooting and dive shooting.

After all, there are all kinds of situations on the battlefield, and with the adjustment function, it can be much more convenient. ”:
