Chapter 565 Competition (Part 2)
"Come, take out the wine." Ren Baqian shouted to the guard behind him.
Nowadays, dyeing cloth can be seen with your eyes, so it is naturally the second item.
The empress was excited after hearing Ren Baqian's words. After that day, she kept thinking about the wine. Unfortunately, there was only a little left, which forced her to control herself from thinking about it. Otherwise, she would be afraid that she would not be able to let go and drink all her food. Ren Baqian would definitely lose by then.
Then a guard brought out three glass wine bottles per pound, and through the bottle, you could see the shaking amber wine industry in it.
The empress glanced at Ren Baqian, and it seemed that there was nothing left that day.
In fact, the jar was only ten kilograms that day, and the empress drank only more than one kilogram. Fortunately, there was some wine in the still, and another two kilograms were made.
"Sir Ren, can the grass people taste it?" Zhang Jun was looking at the bottle brought by Ren Baqian. He had given up on this fight. He only wanted to know what the taste of Ren Baqian's wine and how much better than the Zhang family's wine.
Ren Baqian poured Zhang Junzheng a bowl of about two taels. The amber wine poured out from the bottle and emitted a very strong fragrance. Even everyone behind the empress could smell it, and immediately a sound of swallowing saliva came.
Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan both had their eyes straightened.
After Zhang Jun took it, he closed his eyes and sniffed it deeply, then took a sip. The mellow and pleasant scent of his mouth ignited his taste buds along the tip of his tongue. Then he felt like his throat and stomach were on fire. After a long time, the flame faded away, and a hint of coolness sootheed the place where his throat had just been burned, and it immediately felt comfortable.
"Zhang, I'm willing to give up on the disadvantage. We lost this second game!" Zhang Junzheng closed his eyes and savored for a long time before opening his eyes and said, "There is no need to compare with this wine alone."
Although he was surprised by the loss of two consecutive games, what he cared about the most was the third game.
He is confident that he will definitely win the third game.
The torsion springs used by Izumo's continuous shooting crossbow trucks were made by the Zhang family. He believed that even if someone got the Zhang family's spring, he could not make them.
You should know that several unknown materials are added to the steel used to make springs. Even if others know what these materials are, they will not be able to do it in a short time to study the ratio, not to mention that there is also a method of quenching.
"Why, take out the things."
Following Zhang Junzheng's words, Zhang Heqi took out a tray from the yard, with two torsion springs of the same size on it, each of which was the size of a fist.
In addition, there is a shelf made of wood and metal.
"Your Majesty Emperor Da Yao, Lord Ren, and all of you, this is the most important achievement of my Zhang family. The spring. The continuous crossbow made of spring is a hundred times better than the Daxia Shen Crossbow Camp. This spring is the core of it. If the spring does not meet the requirements, the power of this continuous crossbow will be greatly reduced." Zhang Junzheng was not affected by the failures of the previous two games and introduced confidently.
He believed that this thing would definitely impress the empress.
"Sir Ren, I don't know if you made this spring?" Zhang Junzheng smiled with his fists.
"It's done..." Ren Baqiandao. However, the size is somewhat different from Zhang Junzheng. The rack that Zhang Junzheng took out was obviously a simple crossbow machine that tested the tension and elasticity of the torsion spring, but his own spring size was not up to par. This was something he missed before.
"It's okay, this crossbow machine can change its size. No matter what the size of Lord Ren's spring is, my Zhang family has a solution." Zhang Junzheng smiled immediately after hearing Ren Baqian's words.
"That's good." Ren Baqian clapped his hands, and immediately a guard Zhiji took out a bag. The bag fell to the ground, and a jingle sound was heard, and a bunch of springs appeared on the ground... From the size of the tail finger to the size of an ordinary person's fist, to the size of an ancient clan's fist, there were everything, at least hundreds.
Moreover, there are not only single-strand torsion springs, but also double-strand torsion springs, and various strand torsion springs...
The pile of springs and piles of garbage were dumped to the ground, and the Zhang family was immediately stunned.
"Impossible..." Zhang Jun was staring at the pile of springs on the ground, and opened his mouth and almost screamed. He suddenly had an illusion that the secret of the Zhang family, such as spring, had actually been ruined, and only the Zhang family was hidden in the dark.
Not only him, but even the craftsmen who looked at the situation here in the East Courtyard exclaimed a burst of exclamations. Then several craftsmen in their forties and fifties rushed from the yard to the pile of springs and quickly began to check, and exclaimed while checking: "This is impossible, how can it be so many? How can it be so small and have such elasticity?"
"You see, this is a double-stranded one. It turns out that this can be done. If it was done too fine, the tension and elasticity would not be enough, but in this way, the double-stranded ones or multiple strands can be solved!"
"This combination of multiple strands can reduce the volume of the spring."
After exclaiming, several craftsmen quickly sat on the ground and started discussing.
Seeing the performance of these craftsmen, Zhang Junzheng felt a dazed.
Ren Baqian looked at Zhang Junzheng with a smile. In fact, in his opinion, this thing has indeed become a mess and can be seen almost anywhere, such as clocks, cars, doors, locks... Only the Zhang family still takes it as a treasure.
"Do you still want to compete?" Ren Baqian looked kind.
"Bi..." Zhang Jun was squeezed out a word from his teeth.
Then a craftsman first installed the Zhang family's spring on the crossbow machine, then installed a short arrow. Then a guard smashed the wall and there was an empty space between the two yards. Then he placed the crossbow machine aside, and three layers of wooden targets were placed on the other side a hundred steps away.
Then there is a test. There is a rocker arm next to the crossbow machine, and the torsion spring can be twisted by shaking the rocker arm.
One arrow was shot on each of the six and nine circles, and one wooden target was shot through six circles, and two wooden targets were shot through nine circles, and deeply pierced into the third layer of wooden target.
Shaking nine circles is the limit that the Zhang family can do. The crossbow shot through leather armor at a distance of 200 steps on the flat ground, and its range is twice as far as the Daxia Divine Crossbow Camp. It can definitely be said to be a powerful weapon at present.
Even the officials in the court showed surprise after seeing this.
Hongwu, Xiwanya and others even had solemn expressions. I heard from the Northeast Protector Zidong that said that there is a crossbow cart with a range of 200 steps and a hundred crossbow arrows at a time.
Unexpectedly, this crossbow cart was made by the Zhang family.
