When Cao Shuo came to the craftsman's workshop, the craftsmen were rushing to make a catapult.

Walking to a catapult cart that was being driven, Cao Shuo asked, "Why is this catapult cart so short?"

"Go back to the young master." A craftsman who had stopped his work and stood next to him said, "These are all things that Mr. Ju must be equipped on the sea boat."

"Mr. Ju, there is a way." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I just mentioned once that equipting a catapult on a sea boat can suppress the defenders on the shore. He actually remembered it. But did he think that if this catapult is to work, it must polish the stones. Otherwise, storage will be a problem."

"It's Zhou Xiang who was considering the young master." The craftsman said: "The stones have actually been polished and have been polished into spherical shapes. They can roll further when projected out. Putting them on the sea boat can also save storage space."

"Did you think of these?" Cao Shuo asked.

"No." said the craftsman: "It was what we remembered. The catapults used on land are because stones can be found everywhere, so there is no need to do this. But those on sea boats must be polished in advance and placed on the boat. Otherwise, once the war begins, where can I find these stones?"

"It's reasonable." Cao Shuo asked with a smile: "Where are the armors made for the generals placed?"

The craftsman did not say anything, and the old craftsman in charge of the craftsman workshop said, "When I go back to my son, my armor was taken away by Mr. Mi."

"Let Miheng come over." Cao Shuo ordered Cai Ji: "Bring all the armors here, I will check them myself."

Cai Ji asked a guard behind him, "Have you heard what the young master said?"

"I heard it!" the guard responded.

"Since I heard it, why don't you go?" Cai Ji urged.

The guard took two steps back, turned around and left quickly.

Cao Shuo, Cai Ji and others walked back and forth in the craftsman workshop to watch the weapons made by the craftsmen.

In addition to weapons, the craftsmen also made some big trucks.

These big carts are different from those Cao Shuo had seen on the battlefield.

Their wheels are wrapped in a soft layer of sackcloth.

The linen is soaked in tung oil and wrapped around a cart. Such wheels are smoother to crush the ground than pure wood wheels.

Whether using horses or manpower, traction such a large cart will consume much less power.

"See or not." Cao Shu said to Cai Ji who was following behind: "This is the wisdom of the working people. I just made a few designs to expand their thinking, so I have these. If our army goes to the battlefield in the future, and if it is equipped with such a big cart, the marching speed will be much faster."

Cai Ji nodded: "What the young master said is, but if it weren't for the pattern the young master drew, they wouldn't have thought so quickly."

"Actually, I've thought about the bread outside the wheels for a long time." Cao Shuo said: "There is a plant called rubber in the Nanman area. When we go there in the future, we can wrap it on the wheels with rubber. That thing is much more useful than a linen soaked in tung oil."

"Rubber?" Cai Ji looked at Cao Shu blankly.

He had never heard of such a thing.

If the words were said from others, Cai Ji would definitely think that person was crazy and could even be pulled out of something that he had nowhere to do.

But when Cao Shu said these things, Cai Ji couldn't believe them.

"You will know when you see it in the future." After patting his shoulder, Cao Shu continued to watch the equipment that had been made in the craftsman's workshop.

Most of these equipment were drawn by him, but now they have been improved by craftsmen.

After all, Cao Shuo was not a craftsman who was engaged in the production industry. The patterns he drew only gave the equipment basic functions.

However, the improvement of craftsmen made these weapons more superior in performance.

While watching the weapons in the craftsman's workshop, Mi Heng hurried over.

In a hurry, Mi Heng asked Cao Shu unhurriedly: "Young Master is looking for me?"

"I'm looking for you." Cao Shuo asked, "Where are the armors made for the generals?"

"I brought it all." Mi Heng replied.

"Take it out and let me see." Cao Shu ordered.

"Take out all the armor." Mi Heng ordered several soldiers who came with him.

Several soldiers walked forward with the armor in their hands.

One of the soldiers uncovered the red cloth covered with armor.

"Which set is mine?" Cao Shuo asked.

"This set." He was obviously very familiar with these armors, and Mi Heng directly picked out the set of armor belonging to Cao Shu.

Each set of armor has different colors, and there are ordinary copper pieces on the outside of the armor.

Cao Shu asked: "This set of armor looks no different from ordinary armor."

"The salamander skin is hard to color." Miheng replied: "The craftsmen thought of this method and first created several sets of refined armor, and then tied the salamander skin inside. In this way, there is no difference from the outside, but there is a unique world inside."

"Find a stump and tie the armor to it." Cao Shu ordered Miheng.

"Young Master wants..." Mi Heng asked in surprise.

"Of course I have to try it." Cao Shuo ordered Cai Ji: "Come here with a bow and arrow."

"Young Master wants to try the armor?" asked Mi Heng.

"How do you know if it can withstand arrows and swords if you don't try it?" Cao Shuo asked back.

Miheng waved to a nearby craftsman.

The craftsman walked up to him, and Miheng ordered: "Put on the armor."

Not daring to disobey, the craftsman honestly put on his armor.

Mi Heng said to Cao Shu: "Young Master wants to try the armor. It has no effect when tied to the stump. It is still worn by people to try the effect."

After glanced at Mi Heng, Cao Shuo's eyes fell on the craftsman wearing armor.

"They made the armor, of course they have to try it out." Mi Heng said: "If the armor can be shot through by arrows, even if he dies, he should have no complaints."

Putting on the armor, the craftsman looked a little flustered.

Although I know that the salamander skin is very tough, no one has ever tried what it will do after making armor.

If he fails to block the arrow and the armor is penetrated, his life will be explained here.

However, what Miheng said is not unreasonable.

Since they made the armor, and it was explained in advance that this armor could withstand swords and arrows, it was reasonable to try it out by the craftsmen who made it.

Turning his eyes to the craftsman's face, Cao Shu asked, "Would you like to try out the armor for me?"

"It is my glory to try out armor for the young master." The craftsman said with a tough bullet: "Please also ask the young master to draw the bow."

Cao Shu nodded, took the longbow from Cai Ji's hand, and turned around and walked towards the distance.

Walking twenty or thirty steps away from the craftsman wearing armor, Cao Shu stopped, opened his bowstring and aimed at him.

Cold sweat was already oozing from the craftsman's forehead.

But he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, for fear that a subtle action would change the position where Cao Shu shot the arrow and shot to a place that was not protected by armor.
