Chapter 12: The Real Trick
Sunset
Chen Sheng drove the Xingchen and followed the Empress into a small private port, and when he walked through the port, he was greeted by a coconut grove, through which there was a small garden, and behind the small garden was a residence.
The size of the mansion was beyond Chen Sheng's imagination.
After Qin Xueyan arranged Chen Sheng and his party at will, he disappeared in a hurry.
Then Chen Sheng and the others lived as guests of the Qin Mansion.
And there is a monthly salary, and the housing and food are all-inclusive. Chen Sheng, who had nowhere to go, also calmed down.
A few days later, inside the blacksmith shop in an alley in Tianluo City.
The rhythmic sound of clanging bells sounded in Chen Sheng's ears.
Chen Sheng was seriously watching the master polish the parts one by one. This old man who was striking iron was Chen Shenggang's master.
As for why Chen Sheng would worship a blacksmith as a teacher for a living? It's all the hexagrams that Ling Yunzi calculated for himself.
Chen Sheng's master, surnamed Zheng, was about fifty years old, and he had the face of a toiling public and a burly body. Everyone called him Old Man Zheng, and Chen Sheng called him Master Zheng.
Zheng Shiyi has a son who does not like to strike iron and loves business, and he has achieved something on the road of business.
In order to prevent the loss of the craft, the old man Zheng had the idea of accepting apprentices, and it happened that Chen Sheng also came to learn the craft, one was willing to teach and one was willing to learn, and the two got along very well.
At first, Chen Sheng thought that Master Zheng was a reclusive master, after all, Ling Yunzi was still quite good at divination.
Later, Chen Sheng found out that Master Zheng was just an ordinary old man, and his cultivation was only in the late stage of mortal level.
However, Old Man Zheng's manufacturing skills are extraordinary, this blacksmith shop does not make agricultural tools, but specializes in creating various traps and traps.
Ordinary people build hidden arrows, repeating crossbows, traps, and there are also large fishing boats that ask Old Man Zheng to help build special giant crossbows for hunting large sea beasts.
Chen Sheng has been a free apprentice here for more than a month and has learned a lot. From the simplest basic ore to the manufacture of various hidden weapons and giant crossbows.
Chen Sheng also combined the experience of his previous life to bring forth the new, and transformed the single-shot giant crossbow of the Star into a repeating giant crossbow.
Although the power of a single shot has decreased, the rate of fire of three rounds per second and 120 rounds per minute is enough to terrify the Yellow Monk.
The modified Megabow is similar in appearance to the Blue Star World War II battleship battery.
The base of the crossbow has a 360-degree rotating base, and a semicircular steel shield protects the crossbowman from the periphery of the crossbow.
In order to keep up with the rate of fire of the giant crossbow, Chen Sheng also built a crossbow arrow conveyor belt in imitation of the machine gun chain feed.
To use a crossbow, you need to use a wheel to wind it up in advance, then mount the bolts one by one on the conveyor belt, and finally 360 bolts can be fired in two minutes like heavy machine gun bullets by pulling the trigger.
And 360 crossbow arrows is the best result that Chen Sheng calculated, too little sustained firepower is not enough, too much will increase the volume of the combo giant crossbow and turn to aim.
Calm early morning.
Chen Sheng walked out of the Qin Mansion, walked through the city gate, and walked through the streets.
With a jar of old wine and a roast duck in his hand, he walked towards Zheng Shi's blacksmith shop. As soon as Chen Sheng arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop, he found that Master Zheng was sending two men in fancy clothes out.
"Master Zheng has a big order again?" Chen Sheng asked kindly.
Then skillfully put the roast duck in his hand on an iron pier, took out two clay bowls and poured the wine.
"It's a big business, and I didn't want to take it. But thinking that there were materials for you to practice for free, I took over the business.
You have to study hard these days, and I will take this opportunity to pass on something unusual to you. ”
Zheng Shi's words today were particularly solemn.
After that, Old Man Zheng found a piece of ore at random and sat down, and he didn't care about the dust in the house and sat in front of the iron pier to eat and drink, and Chen Sheng didn't care about a stone and sat down.
For ordinary people, drinking and eating greasy things in the morning hurts the body and stomach, but for the old man Zheng, who is used to it, where does he have the strength to strike iron for a day without drinking or eating meat.
"Master, what is the unusual thing you just said?" Chen Sheng asked curiously.
"Tricks!" Old man Zheng said mysteriously.
"Aren't the repeaters and hidden arrows you taught me before?" Chen Sheng was very skeptical.
"What kind of trick is that, you come with me!" At this time, Old Man Zheng looked very arrogant.
I saw Old Man Zheng come to a hidden corner of the blacksmith shop, dragged a large iron box out of the corner and said.
"This is a riddle iron box of the male family, it can only be opened safely in the right way, if it is opened violently or in the wrong way, the corrosive liquid in the iron box will flow out and destroy the contents of the box."
With that, Old Man Zheng began to move on several wheels painted with animal images outside the iron box.
Click! The iron box opened automatically. Chen Sheng bowed his waist and found that it was a pile of papers.
Zheng Shi carefully put the paper on the tool table and spread it out, and Chen Sheng found that the paper was drawn with a design drawing. Chen Sheng carefully observed some of the data on the design drawings and found that it was a design drawing of a steel spider with a height of nearly two and a half meters.
"This is the blueprint of the steel spider, this morning the Sun family's family asked me to help them build a set of mechanisms to protect some important things, and they also need to be able to hold on for five minutes under the attack of a master in the middle of the yellow level.
In order to pass on my real mechanics to you, I took out all the drawings at the bottom of my press box. Lend them materials to you to practice. Old man Zheng said with a wicked smile.
"Thank you, Master Zheng!" Chen Sheng said movingly.
"Thank you, it's the greatest reward for me to pass on my craftsmanship!" Zheng Shi said with emotion.
Old man Zheng began to teach Chen Sheng in a targeted manner. The two of them first used hammers and files, spent a month, hammer by hammer, and then polished the bodies of the three machine spiders little by little.
Looking at these three hideous-looking steel spiders, Old Man Zheng said to Chen Sheng.
"People can move because they have bones, muscles, meridians, hearts, blood, stomach, and brain.
Our engineers summarize them as support systems, power systems, energy transmission systems, energy storage systems, energy harvesting systems, information acquisition systems, central control systems, etc. ”
"The bodies of these three spiders belong to the scaffold system, and after the scaffold is made, the power system must be made." Old man Zheng continued.
After that, Old Man Zheng took out a piece of silver-gray ore and said.
"This is the Yuan Magnet Mine, which is indispensable for making trap beasts, and it is a strange attribute of the Yuan Magnet extracted from the ore. When spiritual power is injected through different metal materials, it will produce a powerful force to attract or repel nearby elemental magnets.
And we're using this property to power the joints of the trap beasts. ”
Then there is the energy transmission system, which in Chen Sheng's understanding is a wire that can conduct spiritual power.
The old man Wu called the spirit thread, the production of the spirit thread is very simple, that is, the powder of the spirit stone is added to a certain proportion of metal melted and drawn into a silk thread, and then coated with a spirit paint.
Finally, there are energy storage and central control systems as well as information acquisition systems. The three systems are condensed into a small box known as the Trap Core.
I saw that Old Man Zheng took out a six-diamond-shaped metal box that had been built in advance, and began to use the spiritual threads with the thickness of a hair to build a complex spiritual power circuit in the metal box.
While constructing, he also explained the role of each circuit for Chen Sheng, detecting the spiritual path, judging the spiritual path, balancing the spiritual path, attacking the spiritual path, receiving the spiritual path, restoring the spiritual power to the spiritual path, identifying the spiritual path of friend and foe, controlling the temperature of the spiritual path, etc.
After finishing it, Chen Sheng looked at the dense spiritual power lines on the football-sized metal box, and his scalp tingled for a while.
In the end, I saw Old Man Zheng carefully embed the metal box into the belly of the steel spider, and then took out a yellow-colored spirit beast Neidan and put it in as the energy core of the mechanism.
Finally, he put the spider's armor on it, took out an iron token and twisted it in a keyhole on the spider's head, and the hideous iron spider stood up.
I saw Old Man Zheng point to a piece of ore with a token, and with a brush, the hard ore was split in two by the forelimbs of the steel spider.
