Carpenter Qin carefully took out the repeating crossbow, wiped it with his sleeve a few times like an heirloom, and then handed it to Bai Muye.

I don't know what kind of wood the crossbow is made of, as soon as I take it out, people can't help but be in awe, the black and shiny surface and the rounded corners make this repeater full of the depth of time.

Bai Muye checked it, this repeater was obviously much heavier than the one that Carpenter Zhang had brought before. If Carpenter Zhang's new crossbow has an effective range of sixty steps, then there is no doubt that it is not an exaggeration that Carpenter Qin's old crossbow can shoot more than a hundred steps!

This is what Bai Muye just thought, increasing the weight of the crossbow body itself, increasing the range and accuracy. It's just that this repeater, the weight is still not enough!

"Uncle, what kind of wood is your crossbow made of? It's not light! ”

"Xiao Langjun, you really know the goods! At a glance, you can see that the wood of this repeater is different? Carpenter Qin shook his head proudly: "The wood for this crossbow is not available here in the Central Plains, but my ancestors got it from Goguryeo!" ”

What the hell? So mysterious?

Bai Muye glared at Carpenter Qin.

Say it, boss! Master, what tree have I never seen? Who to bluff?

Looking at Bai Muye's expectant eyes, Carpenter Qin smiled and said, "Tie Hua! Have you ever heard of it? ”

"Birch?" Bai Muye exhaled softly.

Iron birch is belonging to the birch family, hardy and non-perishable. Emphasis - this thing is very, very, very hard! It's about three to five times harder than ordinary wood, and in short, harder than iron!

It's no wonder that even the crossbow has been passed down for so long, and it turns out that it was made of the hardest wood!

Carpenter Qin was shocked!

"Xiao Langjun knows Tie Hua?"

"You know—"

Bai Muye's understatement made the elderly Qin carpenter feel like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, Bai Muye couldn't help but knock on the stone platform with his knuckles to remind him: "Uncle, I'll try this repeater first!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes! Xiao Langjun, please. ”

The two of them came to the garden next door, which was more than enough for a hundred steps according to what Carpenter Qin said.

Wei Tianzhen couldn't resist his curiosity and followed from a distance.

Bai Muye took a tea bowl in the octagonal pavilion and put it on a boulder in the distance, and then loaded the arrows according to the method taught by Qin Carpenter, aiming at the tea bowl and shooting it with a crossbow!

With a "ding" sound, the tea bowl was pierced in half, and at the same time, there was a "bang" and the bones were shattered. The crossbow arrow was castrated, and it plunged into the wall with a "doo", and the ten-centimeter-long iron arrow was almost rootless.

"Good crossbow!" Wei Tianzhen couldn't help but scream.

Bai Muye was also surprised.

Ouch? Not bad!

The strength of this crossbow is good, and although the range is still much worse than what I used before, it can be regarded as an artifact today, right?

In Bai Muye's opinion, this repeater has two main advantages.

First, the arrow trough and the crossbow body are connected by a lever, which is very flexible, and the crossbow that Carpenter Zhang brought just now needs to pull the arrow magazine back to its original position every time it is fired, which is very troublesome, and strictly speaking, it is not a repeater at all.

Second, unlike Carpenter Zhang's crossbow, the firing is controlled by a pull ring, which is very light and fast, which is very close to the trigger principle of modern repeaters, so that there will be no accidental disengagement or jamming during firing.

All right! That's it!

"Uncle Qin, are you selling crossbows?"

Carpenter Qin looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Xiao Langjun, this crossbow is an ancestral heirloom, and it can't be sold!" If Xiao Langjun wants, I can make another one for you......"

"I want this handful of iron birch, do you want to sell it?" Bai Muye interrupted him, his tone a little forceful.

"This ......," Carpenter Qin looked very embarrassed, "forgive the old man for being difficult to obey." ”

Bai Muye azolated the tooth flower, gently stroked the repeater in his hand, and asked softly: "Uncle, if you buy such a good crossbow normally, how much will it cost?" ”

Carpenter Qin stretched out his hand and measured it in the air for a long time, hesitantly comparing "one, two, three, four", and finally fixed the gesture on "five".

Bai Muye raised his eyebrows and looked at him, unclear!

"Five, five!"

Wei Tianzhen frowned, thinking to himself, isn't this sitting on the ground? It's just a crossbow, no matter how good it is, it's not made of gold, so why is it so expensive?

This Bai Muye doesn't seem to know much about the price of the repeater, so it's better not to let people trick him.

Wei Tianzhen just wanted to help, but he saw Bai Muye wave his hand, and the words he said were extremely refreshing.

"I'm out of ten, do I sell it or not?"

"No, don't sell ......"

"Twenty times!"

"Don't sell ......"

"And how much money do you have to sell?"

"It's said that it's an ancestral heirloom, and it won't be sold for much money!"

"Five taels of gold."

"Deal—"

Carpenter Qin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The same is true for Wei Tianzhen.

Bai Muye smiled "hee-hee", he was a little suspicious of being a trick, didn't he treat you badly?

Even if you ask for a sky-high price, I still pay ten times the price, you really don't lose this wave!

Bai Muye took out four golden beans from his sleeve pocket, Zhou Ze said, one bean is almost a little more than one or two. He estimated it, it was just five taels, and then it was quietly stuffed into Carpenter Qin's hand.

I'm still red gold!

The bag is safe, and the bag is safe.

As soon as Carpenter Qin's money arrived, his reluctance immediately turned into nothing, and an old face was squeezed into eighteen folded buns, and no one paid attention to it left and right, so he carefully picked up the gold.

"Uncle, is your ancestral craft also made this kind of repeater?"

"Except for the wood, everything else is the same!"

If you directly improve this repeater, I don't know if it will be feasible......

Bai Muye suddenly had a bold idea, and he didn't feel sorry for the five taels of gold he had just spent.

He flicked the curved bamboo piece: "Old man, can you change your crossbow body to iron?" ”

Carpenter Qin pondered for a long time and hesitated: "The one that is replaced with iron is too heavy and inconvenient. ”

"I'm not afraid of being heavy, I'm afraid it's not heavy enough! Can the old man change? ”

"I can change it!"

It's really not that difficult, just forge a commensurate crossbow body and put it on.

Bai Muye nodded, and then suddenly thought that the current iron-smelting technology may not work, the crossbow body is the most sophisticated, in case the workmanship is unqualified, it is easy to break down, it is better to use the crossbow body of this old repeater.

"Uncle, according to you, is it better to change the crossbow body or the arrow box?" Bai Muye explained: "I just hope that my repeater can have a worthy weight!" ”

"This ......"

Carpenter Qin was a little embarrassed, he had been a carpenter all his life and had never encountered such a requirement.

"This crossbow is very good, it's a pity to scrap it, is there a way for the old man to make the repeater heavier, but not to destroy the original advantages of this crossbow?"

Carpenter Qin said: "In this case, it is indeed better to replace the arrow box, just make an iron one according to the original." ”

"Then think about it again, is there a way to let this repeater fire three crossbow arrows at once? Can it be transformed? ”
