Chapter Twenty-Six: The Flying Carpet and the New Crossbow

Jiang Yue smiled: "I don't know if anyone will be able to do it in the future, anyway, it took me a lot of energy to get to this point"

Zhou Yuanchun said: "You mean to say that the heat burned by Jiaoyu oil is not enough to drive the weight of a flying car and a person."

"Yes, the power that Jiaoyu Man Oil can provide is too small to support the weight of the take-off car and people."

"So, we need to find a new source of motivation"

"Exactly"

Zhou Yuanchun sighed: "It seems that it will take a long time to find the source of gravity that can support the take-off car and people."

Jiang Yue also smiled bitterly: "This is the real reason why I hide so much wine"

Zhou Yuanchun smiled and said, "I can understand Brother Jiang Yue's hard work, but this time, Brother Chang and I came here, and we do have something important to ask for."

"What's the matter?"

"We need ten flying machines"

Jiang Yue was stunned and said, "However, the source of power has not been solved, and I have no way to help you."

"I'm not talking about the flying car you're building, but the flying machine that can send people from the top of the mountain directly to the city."

"Without power, the aircraft doesn't make much sense"

"Who said there is no motivation"

"Where's the momentum?"

"Wind!"

"Wind?"

"You also said that Liezi could ride against the wind back then, and I also wanted to use the power of the wind."

"The wind is not easy to control, and the people who ride it are very risky"

"All I need is a machine that can carry people, fly over walls, and land safely."

"It's better to use a flying carpet"

"Flying carpet?"

"It's easy and easy to carry out a blanket made of cloth that can help people fly"

The term flying carpet was first transmitted to the Qin State from the Western Regions.

Because the Qin State was on the edge of the Western Regions, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Central Plains had already begun to trade with the Western Regions.

At that time, although the Qin State was only a small country and had not yet been civilized, due to the spread of new things by merchants, especially the characteristics of active spread of novelties, the flying carpet, a new thing, could be passed on by word of mouth and cited as a miracle.

I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard about it by many people.

Jiang Yue herself has never seen a flying carpet.

But the concept of the flying carpet has been constantly perfected in his mind, and finally took shape.

In other words, the flying carpet that Zhou Yuanchun and Chang Yu saw was, in fact, the flying carpet made by Jiang Yue.

The flying carpet made by Jiang Yue is derived from people's word-of-mouth descriptions and their own imagination.

The flying carpet is a tool that can be formed to fly with people after Jiang Yue's continuous improvement, and its principle is the principle that Liezi walked against the wind back then, that is to say, through nine years of cultivation, Liezi finally mastered the characteristics of wind flow, and used the flow characteristics of the wind to achieve the purpose of flight.

And the flying carpet made by Jiang Yue does not need to go through many years of cultivation before it can be used directly.

The flying carpet he made is mainly composed of three parts, one is a special fabric, which is different from ordinary fabric, compared with the fabric used in ordinary clothes, it is more wear-resistant and durable, so that it will not tear when flying, the second is a wooden frame, which is a simple tool made of wood, that is, people can hang directly under the flying carpet, and the third is a spiral mechanism to control the flying carpet, adjust the direction, and go with the wind.

When Jiang Yue showed Zhou Yuanchun the flying carpet, Chang Yu sighed: "No matter how well you practice light skills, you can't reach such a height."

Zhou Yuanchun also smiled and said: "Brother Jiang Yue's invention, if it is promoted in the future, we don't have to practice light skills."

Jiang Yue took over the words and said: "The flying carpet is dead, the light work is alive, no matter how good the flying carpet is, it is an external thing, and it has something to rely on, and the light work is practiced by yourself, and most of the time you don't need to rely on external objects, so no matter how good the flying carpet is, it is a kind of instrument, not as good as light work, and it can be used freely."

Chang Yu couldn't imagine that a craftsman who was not martial arts had such a deep understanding of light skills, so he said: "I didn't expect that Brother Jiang Yue not only has excellent skills, but also has some research on light skills."

Zhou Yuanchun said: "Although light gong is only a skill, it is the skill closest to the Tao, because light gong itself is to mobilize all the potential of the human body and give full play to this potential."

"Brother Wang's Theory"

"A few superficial insights"

Chang Yu also smiled and said: "Brother Wang's high remarks really show the essence of light work."

"It's just that no matter what, Brother Jiang Yue's flying carpet is indeed the key to whether our mission can be completed this time."

"I'm only in charge of making flying carpets, and I don't participate in the task, and I don't want to participate, I'm always just a craftsman."

Chang Yu said: "Brother Jiang Yue is humble, with your ability, no matter where you are, you are a guest of honor, even if Duke Lu sees you, he will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility and let you show your ambitions."

Zhou Yuanchun said: "It's a pity that Brother Jiang Yue's heart to retreat is unshakable, and he can't follow Lu Gong to achieve great things."

"What Brother Wang said is very true, I have decided to spend the rest of my life here, and the outside world has nothing to do with me anymore"

"It depends on who you contact"

"At least there's my friend who often causes you trouble."

Jiang Yue smiled: "You are not here to interfere with me, but to help me brush up my sense of existence"

Chang Yu wondered: "Sense of existence? ”

"You can come and prove that I still have the value of existence, if one day even my friends forget about me, it means that my existence is dispensable, or even superfluous"

"Brother Jiang Yue's talent, it is difficult for Gangu to appear second"

"The big waves wash the sand, strange people, for generations, have always existed, but most people don't care, not to mention that no matter how talented they are, they are just a craftsman after all"

"But the skill has reached such a height as Brother Jiang Yue, except for Lu Ban and Mozi, I am afraid that no one can surpass it, it is said that the real craftsman not only needs talent, but also pays attention to the mentality, if you are not willing to be lonely, talent alone will not help, so, the real craftsman can not be found"

Jiang Yue sighed: "Those who know me, Brother Wang is also"

Zhou Yuanchun said: "Between friends, although the direction of focus is different, but the truth is the same, if you don't treat me as a friend, I won't come here to disturb."

"Excuse me? Can't talk about it."

"I also hope that one day, I can find a quiet place and grow old."

Jiang Yuedao said with a smile: "Wait until you complete the task, as long as you want to, you will definitely be able to find it."

"May that day come soon"

Jiang Yue looked at him and seemed to see through him, so she changed the topic and said, "I have something for you, maybe it will be useful for you to complete the task."

"Your new invention?"

"Sort of"

After speaking, he took Zhou Yuanchun and Chang Yu to a new room, took out a crossbow, and said, "This is my newly invented crossbow machine."

"Ballista?"

"Yes, this crossbow can shoot ten arrows at once"

Zhou Yuanchun took the crossbow machine and looked at it, and found that although this crossbow machine was not much different from other crossbows on the surface, it was actually one-third smaller than ordinary crossbows, and the bow and arrow were one-third shorter than ordinary bows and arrows, so it looked even lighter.

When I opened the quiver box underneath, there were only ten arrows, but there were twenty more at once, making a total of thirty bows and arrows.

In other words, a common crossbow can shoot ten bows and arrows at a time, and after shooting, it has to be reloaded, but this crossbow made by Jiang Yue can shoot three times in a row, shooting ten arrows each time, a total of thirty arrows, and it can also be used with one hand.

Such a crossbow is indeed a rare weapon for hand-to-hand combat or assassination missions, and it is likely to be useful for life-saving at critical moments.

After Zhou Yuanchun tried it, he felt that it was better than a modern pistol, so he sighed: "With such a crossbow, it will be much easier to complete the task."

Chang Yu also said: "This crossbow, even if it is thousands of troops, can be blocked by the enemy."

Jiang Yue said with a smile: "This is a crossbow specially customized for Brother Wang, there is only one in the world, even if it is a bow and arrow, there are only these, after using it, you have to find a craftsman to customize it."

Zhou Yuanchun stroked the bow and crossbow as if he were touching a treasure.

For him, this treasure is not only a rare weapon, but also the brainchild of a craftsman's reinvention of weapon making.

Zhou Yuanchun even believed that any thing in Jiang Yue's hands could give full play to all its advantages and reduce its shortcomings to the extreme.

Just like this crossbow, in Jiang Yue's heart, it is no longer just a weapon or a work of art, it can even be said that he has injected his soul into this crossbow.

Perhaps, it was precisely because the two of them knew each other that Jiang Yue was able to make such a beautiful crossbow that matched his needs.

He was a little moved, because in such a war-torn era, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it is difficult to find real friends.

He looked at Jiang Yue, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful and valuable thing, I really can't bear to use it."

Jiang Yue knew what he meant, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No matter how good something is, someone has to use it, and you happen to be the one who is qualified to use it."

"Thank you"

"Between you and me, it's serious to say thank you"

"If you don't say thank you, what else can you say?"

"You don't need to say anything, just come back safely"

Zhou Yuanchun said: "With this hand, I will definitely be able to return safely"
