When Lu Gi had rewarded her for successfully developing various weapons, she had hardly shown any interest.
Now she was actively asking for a reward.
After pondering for a moment, Lu G seemed to think of something, raised an eyebrow, and decisively said, "Then I'll give you a reward of 300 coins, plus two bolts of fine silk and a piece of jade ornament.
" Lu G's generosity was quite remarkable.
Just that last piece of jade ornament was worth a fortune in the current myriad civilizations.
However, upon hearing this, Yishin's face suddenly turned bitter.
I don't want these.
Your majesty, you know, I want to research new weapons.
Chapter 335.
Inspiration emerges.
I don't want these.
Your majesty, you know, I want to research new weapons.
Yen said while blinking her big eyes continuously while making the final modifications to the crossbow.
Her mind was racing with thoughts of what to do next.
But she wasn't getting any inspiration in a short time.
So she turned her attention to Lu OG since in her impression their majesty always had explosive ideas.
Currently only Isen dared to act like this.
The guards on both sides were adopting an eyes on the nose nose on the heartstance pretending not to see.
Clearly unable to do anything about this little ancestor.
When Lu Gi heard this, he also showed Aaz's expected expression.
But even if he was asked, he had no immediate ideas because there wasn't much equipment that his army particularly lacked.
If he had a list a few, he could certainly rattle off a bunch.
But the problem was that according to current technology, they couldn't be made.
For a moment, Lu G fell into deep thought.
Then, as he glanced over a document on the table, he suddenly froze.
This was a document he had just opened and was about to read when Yishen arrived.
Now, having unconsciously caught a glimpse of its contents, he suddenly had an idea.
Hidden arrows.
What is that? What is that? Yish's eyes brightened to hearing another unfamiliar term from Luog and immediately leaned in closer.
You can understand it as a pocket-sized version of a hand crossbow, usually strapped to the wrist and concealed in the sleeve.
When needed, just raise the hand or apply a little force and it can shoot arrows to attack the enemy.
As he spoke, Lu Gi spread out a piece of paper and casually sketched it.
The drawing was quite ugly, but the idea was conveyed.
Is that so? There can be such a weapon.
Yish quickly took the paper with the sketch from Lu G's hand.
This couldn't be called a design blueprint as the important mechanisms and structures were not depicted and Lu G himself didn't know what the internal structure of the hidden arrow was.
So he only drew an outline based on his imagination.
But at that moment, Lu G suddenly realized that this was enough.
There was no need to mention any important structures.
Yen had an extraordinary sensitivity to weapon research.
She only needed a small spark of inspiration.
And the entire thought process could be opened up in an instant.
But your majesty, considering concealment, such a small mechanism probably can't guarantee range and power.
Right? In just a moment, just looking at Lu G's ugly outline, Yish already realized the hidden arrows flaws.
Luo G secretly marveled.
As a modern person, he could immediately think of this problem.
But for Yishien, an ancient person, her brain was turning too quickly.
As for range, a distance of 10 to 20 meters would be sufficient because the hidden arrow is a concealed weapon.
Its important aspect is its stealth, launching a surprise attack on the enemy at a critical moment.
If it could silently kill the enemy, that would be even better.
Concealed weapons.
Concealed weapons.
After pondering this new term for a moment, Yishian's eyes grew even brighter, and she seemed to be bursting with inspiration on par with discovering a new continent.
Your majesty, your majesty.
Yen was a bit incoherent at this moment.
She was talking to Lu G, but her mind was already thinking about other things.
Lu G clearly understood what she needed and directly placed a set of paper and pens in front of her.
Without speaking, Isen skillfully picked up a charcoal pencil and lay down on the ground to start drawing, leaving the guards on either side in a days.
Your majesty, Shu, Lu G made a gesture for silence.
Inspiration is fleeting.
You might think of something in one second, but when you turn back, you've forgotten it, and then you might not be able to recall it, no matter how hard you try.
In any case, his new office was spacious enough, and he usually reviewed reports in extreme quiet without any interference, so he let Yusian draw there.
With this thought in mind, Lu Gi signal the guard to fetch him a new set of paper and pens, then turned his attention back to the document in front of him.
This document was sent by Jeang Tang, the leader of the Mingjing Division's Dark Department.
The responsibilities of the Dark Department include using some unconventional methods to interrogate prisoners, gather intelligence, train special spies and assassins, and carry out special missions, which clearly fall within their scope of duties.
However, for these special professionals, concealment is key.
Wearing weapons directly would undoubtedly be too conspicuous.
So, Jean Tengs report was to apply to Lu Gi for a batch of bronze daggers as weapons for their dark department members.
It was precisely because of this report that Lu Gi suddenly thought of the concept of concealed weapons.
His army indeed didn't have much that was urgently needed at the moment.
Unless Ein could make further upgrades to the existing weapons and equipment, but special departments like Ming Jing division and the dark department needed them.
With this in mind, Lu Gi approved Jong Tanggs application and quickly flipped through the hand crossbow design diagram that Yiani had sent over.
The attribute window he opened confirmed without surprise that this was a black iron level design.
Then Lu G took a blank sheet of paper and clearly wrote down instructions for the armament's manufacturing department to mobilize most of their personnel, setting a small target first to produce 300 hand crossbows.
Subsequently, he had a guard take the design diagram along with this order to the armament's manufacturing department.
Crossbowmen are similar to archers.
If their numbers are too few, they are of no use on the battlefield.
300 was already Lu G's bottom line.
Ideally, he would like to form a crossbow unit of 500.
However, Lu G could also anticipate that the armament's manufacturing department would likely not have an easy time with the hand crossbows.
The mechanisms involved are intricate work, and it would take at least a few months.
It would be impossible to establish a crossbow unit in a short time.
But he was about to receive another piece of good news.
Your majesty.
A guard glanced at Yen who was lying nearby drawing.
Then quietly approached Luo Gi and whispered.
Lu G's expression brightened decisively and without disturbing Yien he quickly left his office with several guards.
End of chapter chapter 336.
Black Tiger Banner riding the blazing fire.
Luo Gi hurly arrived at the military camp in Mingjing City where a well-organized formation of 500 soldiers stood in a vast training ground.
However, apart from the sound of footsteps from Lu Gi and his group, there was essentially no sound in the entire training ground.
Faced with this well-trained posture, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu G's eyes.
In contrast to Lu G's satisfaction, the guards who came in with him felt a heavy pressure when looking at these 500 soldiers.
This was an intuition honed through life and death battles.
And at this moment, that intuition clearly told them that these guys were strong, very strong.
This strength came partly from their own capabilities and partly from their luxurious equipment.
All 500 soldiers were clad in black dyed bronze armor, even wearing black bronze masks that resembled roaring tigers.
In their hands, they held a bronze shield in one hand and an elongated double-bladed battle axe in the other.
Undoubtedly, Luog had truly invested heavily in these nearly fully armed soldiers.
To be honest, this move was in some respects even more extravagant than the two bronze siege towers built by Zhao Donan back in the day.
