Chapter 2652: Is that the Point?
Chapter 2652: Is that the Point?
This made Gu Xia Mo truly admire these people.
Perhaps they didn’t know it yet, but it was through their accumulation would it be possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to become even better in the future.
Technology had to progress step by step.
And without sufficient people who were knowledgeable enough and willing to experiment, it was impossible for technology to advance.
So even if he came from a world where the technology was a thousand times better, Gu Xia Mo was still full of admiration to the people in this era. Their design was by no means that worse than him as they should have their own concern and methods.
But all in all, the design would definitely last for a long time as long as there was no nuclear bombs or anything like that launched on the site.
Well, it was not something they should concern themselves about.
Gu Xia Mo looked at Song Yun Xiang and asked, “Are you thinking that I should try to make the wall even better and introduce some technology?”
Song Yun Xiang, who was thinking about other things, frowned. “No. Whether you truly want to improve the kingdom or not it’s up to you… but you have to know that if you truly decide that way, the history will change drastically.”
To introduce things that should have taken decades or even longer to appear in this era, it would definitely change many things.
And the uneven development could even possibly destroy an entire civilization.
There were many civilization that had been lost in time for various reasons. Neither of them wanted to be the one who did it…
Even if they did, it should not through this way of forcefully introducing technology that should not have existed.
Gu Xia Mo laughed. “Even if you tell me to make it, I won’t make anything other than what had been made here… besides, I think that the current weapons are already good enough.”
“Do you mean the crossbows or the catapult or even that tower?” Song Yun Xiang asked in confusion.
He knew some of the few things that had been used in war in the past few years, but these things were not used all the time. And to be honest, these things were easy to make in Song Yun Xiang’s opinion as long as they knew how to make it and had enough materials to do so.
“Yes, those things are good. They’re useful in some wars but they would not break people’s cognition because of their existence.” Gu Xia Mo smiled and then continued, “But what I’m talking about is this war with the northern tribe. The existence of another transmigrator will definitely change the situation.”
Ah…
For this matter, Song Yun Xiang had no good idea aside from letting Gu Xia Mo to make some useful weapons for their war. Even if he knew that these might destroy the fragile balance that the people here had but they couldn’t possibly let Fei Yang Kingdom fell apart right after their unification.
It would be ridiculous.
A new dynasty fell in their first year?
Many people would mock them and history would declare them as failure.
“Are you truly planning to make weapon for the army?” Song Yun Xiang asked quietly.
Gu Xia Mo looked at Song Yun Xiang solemnly and asked, “What weapon do you need?”
Now that he was no longer busy with the wall and didn’t look like he would die anytime soon, Gu Xia Mo felt that he could free some of his hand to do his old business again. Besides, he also didn’t want to see Fei Yang Kingdom fall but his knowledge in war or anything like that was very limited.
The only thing that he could do was to help in other matters.
“Repeating crossbows… I know that there’s already this weapon existed in this era and had been used in some siege battle, but their design was a bit cumbersome to use.” Song Yun Xiang looked at Gu Xia Mo solemnly. “I want you to make one that’s easy to carry and use.”
“You sure ask a lot.” Gu Xia Mo was speechless. “But as long as you don’t ask me to make a hot weapon, then I can still make it.”
“Didn’t you already prepare a hot weapon to use as emergency?”
“What are you talking about?”
Seeing Gu Xia Mo playing dumb, Song Yun Xiang rolled his eyes. He knew that his friend didn’t want this matter to be known because it would be dangerous. Besides, it would be best if the weapons that Gu Xia Mo prepared for emergency would not be used in the slightest bit.
As for what weapon it is, Song Yun Xiang himself didn’t know.
He only knew that Gu Xia Mo wanted him to be prepared in case it was necessary that he had prepared a special weapon. But this weapon could only be used during emergency and would be buried after everything was over.
Song Yun Xiang also didn’t know how Gu Xia Mo was able to make a gun if that was truly what he made.
After all, the delicate parts that was needed to make one was not exactly something that could be build in this era.
“Anyway, do you think it’s possible?”
“Yes, it’s not difficult.” Gu Xia Mo nodded.
He knew the principle of repeating crossbows and as long as he modified the current crossbows a bit, he could easily make some.
“In that case, I need a few thousands.”
*cough* *cough*
Gu Xia Mo chocked on the air when he heard the outrageous request from Song Yun Xiang. He looked at the other party and asked rudely, “Are you planning to kill me?”
“What? We’re going to war, so of course we need as many as possible. Be glad that I didn’t ask you the same number of my soldiers.”
“You’re as hateful as Long Qian Xing at times like this.”
“Tsk, that man is worse than me.”
Gu Xia Mo: “…” is that the point?
