Chapter 62: Improving the Repeater
Since then, Bai Muye has been discussing with Carpenter Zhang and others the feasibility of improving the repeater.
Carpenter Zhang seemed to be very surprised by Bai Muye's words such as "increasing the weight of the crossbow and building the crossbow body with fine iron", and finally replied in a daze: "The work of striking iron? Lang Jun should find a blacksmith, right? โ
The carpenters agreed in agreement, and then nodded their heads.
"That's right! If you work in iron, you should find a blacksmith! โ
You have a point!
I threw you in the face with an assembly line, believe it or not?
Bai Muye stroked his forehead and looked at Wei Tianzhen as if asking for help.
Wei Tianzhen smiled and said, "Carpenter Zhang is right, if Brother Bai wants to use iron, you should naturally find a blacksmith to ask!" โ
Bai Muye was speechless!
He said a little weakly: "The main thing is to have excellent carpentry, the pure iron is too heavy and not light enough, so in addition to the bamboo pieces and arrow boxes on the crossbow, only replace the crossbow body with iron!" And this iron crossbow body, as long as you draw the drawings and go to the blacksmith, you can create a few identical ones in one go! โ
Carpenter Zhang frowned, desperately portraying the image of the repeater crossbow that Bai Muye said in his mind, and it gradually took shape.
"Then I know!" Carpenter Zhang's face was flushed with excitement, and he was a little eager to try, "As long as Xiao Langjun brings the iron crossbow body, I can make a good crossbow!" โ
"Don't be busy, I want more than just this crossbow."
"Huh?" Carpenter Zhang was a little dumbfounded, the method of coming up with this crossbow had exhausted his mental strength, and there were other requirements?
The carpenters also whispered, not knowing what Bai Muye wanted to do.
"Your crossbow arrow, one shot at a time, is not powerful enough, and the error tolerance rate is too low."
Carpenter Zhang didn't understand what the fault tolerance was, so he had to look at Bai Muye in a daze.
A carpenter next to him comprehended the spirit and said loudly: "Xiao Langjun is saying that it is not easy to shoot people with an arrow at a time, right?" โ
Bai Muye turned to him and nodded approvingly.
Wei Tianzhen also suddenly realized, and his cognition of Bai Muye had another layer.
"It would be much better if you shot three or five arrows side by side at a time, wouldn't it?" Bai Muye said with a smile.
Meng can also be blindfolded with an arrow, right?
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed like that was the case.
Bai Muye finally persuaded them, and then asked, "Now, do you have this kind of skill?" โ
Carpenter Zhang replied cautiously: "I have heard of this kind of repeater in the early years, but it seems that it has been lost for a long time, so I don't dare to judge it, but if Xiao Langjun wants to do it, we can give it a try." โ
Bai Muye had no doubts about their imagination at all, but the main thing was that time was running out now.
"How long do you do this?"
Carpenter Zhang hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Half a month!" โ
No, isn't it-
This Bai Muye really can't afford to wait!
"Two days, no more! Don't go home today, just do it here! I will pay ten times the salary for those who can make it in one day, and I will give five times the salary for making it in two days! If the effect is accepted by me, it will be increased by five times! โ
Everyone blew up with a "buzz", and even Wei Tianzhen looked at Bai Muye with very surprised eyes.
Don't you see that my "sister-in-law", who has a simple appearance, is still a person with a solid family?
After a short exchange, the dozen or so carpenters went separately to study the new repeater, and Bai Muye didn't forget to shout behind them: "If you have a question, come and ask!" What kind of iron crossbow body do you need, come and tell me, I'll go to the blacksmith and hit it out immediately! โ
All the carpenters were smiling, and there was a lively scene in the craftsman's shed. Cong Feng watched from the side and was impressed, thinking that his own Langjun is really not an ordinary person! Not only is his heart and eyes good, but his mind is also bright, and even calling workers to do work is unique!
Just thinking about it, he listened to Bai Muye's instructions: "Brother Cong, just go and invite two blacksmiths to come, anyway, we have iron felt for the furnace here, ask them to come over and discuss with the carpenter masters to do it, and see if they can open the furnace immediately!" โ
"Okay!" The wind responded, and he walked out in a hurry.
Bai Muye was also very happy when he looked at everyone's energetic appearance.
I came to Datang this time, and I was in danger again and again, from Li Shimin's spear at the beginning to the soft sword just now, it seems that everyone has a weapon by their side.
As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives! Although I look down on the skills and reactions of these people, but when I fight, I am always in danger, isn't it just a convenient weapon?
Although Wei Jinmi's dagger is a treasure, sooner or later it will have to be returned to someone elseโby the way, it has to be washed and returned!
When I played against Yu Yu just now, I had nunchucks that I was good at using, and I was obviously much more confident. Sure enough, it is not difficult for me to defeat these so-called masters!
The melee weapon Bai Muye completely selected the nunchucks, although the previous one was simple, but he was not in a hurry to repair it, he could barely use it, anyway, the materials he wanted were difficult to get in this era, and this one was just a transition.
At a long range, if the lethality of the repeater is significantly higher than that of a bow and a dart, of course, it is the best choice!
The repeater technique can now be improved, but of course it is the best ......
Bai Muye was thinking about it when he saw Cong Feng come back with a worried face.
"What's wrong, Brother Cong?"
"Lang Jun, I forgot to say it, I just heard someone say it outside......"
"Say what?"
Cong Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Muye, a little worried.
"What did you say?"
"It is said that Qi Servant is looking for a master for divination, saying that tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac to ascend the throne, and at the beginning of tomorrow, the new monarch will officially ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world!"
Wei Tianzhen couldn't help it first, but he was still hindered by the many mouths, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth hatefully, "Piff-"
Bai Muye was also stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless sneer and nodded.
"I know, thank you Brother Cong! Go get busy! โ
Do good, you dead pig's head!
Can't you just not jump like that?
People are making a fortune in a muffled voice, you are jumping out and dying!
Yes! I will fulfill you! Let's settle the new accounts and the old accounts together!
Bai Muye's mind was quickly pondering countermeasures, and at this time, the faltering Qin carpenter came back with a large wooden box.
"Xiao Langjun, come and take a look, look at this treasure of my family!"
Carpenter Qin was so excited that the tip of his nose turned red, and when he saw Bai Muye, he greeted him with a warm smile, and the furrows on his face were suddenly pulled like spider webs and changed shape.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he hurriedly put the wooden box on the stone platform and opened it, Bai Muye's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly pulled Wei Tianzhen over to inspect the goods together.
In the middle of the wooden box was a delicate repeater, which was also padded with silk cloth, and it could be seen that the owner of the repeater was very interested in this crossbow.
