Hearing Meng Huan Chilong say this, Tian Zhikun's eyes lit up, and he said: "Indeed, when a weapon is made, it is carved into the rune array and hidden, not only does it look like an ordinary weapon, but it is also more powerful than the carved rune array after it is formed, at least it is a treasure weapon." But if you learn both, it will be very time-consuming and laborious, maybe you can't learn both, have you thought about it?"

Meng Huan Chilong didn't think about it so much, just blinked his eyes, and said, "I just know that it's always a good thing to learn more skills, not to mention that there are no casters in the mountains, so I want to learn." Maybe it won't work in ten years, but in twenty years, one day I can learn and help my clansmen, I wonder if Mr. Tian can teach me?"

Tian Zhikun was very satisfied with this answer, nodded with a smile, but immediately cooled down again, and said, "Can you endure hardship?"

Meng Huan Chilong said very seriously: "I am a child in the mountains, I have suffered all kinds of hardships, no matter what you ask me to do, there is no problem." ”

Tian Zhikun's face was much better, but he still didn't have any expression, and said, "Okay, if you want to be interested, come here." But there is one thing to be clear, I am only a refiner now, that is, a forger, not a forger. Forging is the foundation of a caster, and a good caster must be able to black. ”

Seeing that the other party agreed, he was a little excited, and he didn't care about the refiner or the caster's statement, but he naturally showed a smile on his face.

Tian Zhikun saw it in his eyes, smiled, and liked this honest child a little, and asked, "You came to me just to learn forging?"

Only then did he remember his main purpose, and hurriedly raised the beaded bow and crossbow in his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to get down to business." Mr. Tian, I heard that you have made this kind of large bow and crossbow, can you make it now?"

Tian Zhikun took the Lianzhu bow and crossbow, looked at it in his hand for a while, and said, "I did do this, but I was an apprentice at the time, and I didn't know some parameters. It's a bit difficult to do now, and I haven't learned the technical stuff. I only remember that the iron crossbow arm is directly proportional to the range, a bow of about five feet can shoot 500 zhang, if you use hardwood as a crossbow arm, the range may be halved, about 300 zhang. ”

Meng Huan Chilong thought for a moment and said, "This range should be enough, but I don't know how many crossbow arms can be made in the workshop a day using wood?"

Tian Zhikun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said coldly: "I am a refiner, I only do things in forging, not in the things of utensils." ”

When he heard this, he immediately reacted, the refiners of the Wu Clan only do things related to metal, because these things involve a lot, mainly related to inheritance, and magic power.

There are no levels to make tables or carved jade vases and other things, but there is no level, just a means of making a living, although these things also have inheritance, and they also use magic power, but they are not as mysterious as runes, alchemy, and casters.

He patted his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, blame me, blame me, it's me who didn't express it clearly." I've heard that you're going to make this kind of bow and crossbow, and I'd like to ask you to help me make it, instead of asking you to do it yourself, just show me around and see if you can make a big bow and crossbow, because it's important to defend the city. ”

Tian Zhikun was also a little embarrassed. "I'm in a hurry, don't be surprised. Large bows and crossbows are called strong crossbows in the warring countries, and if they are made purely of wood, I think five people can make one a day, and if they are proficient, only three or four people will do. But the premise is that we have mastered this technique, and the most important thing is that whether it is wood or iron, we must have good animal tendon as a bowstring, and if the strength cannot keep up, the crossbow spear will not fly far. ”

Remu's voice rang out behind him. "Tendons are not a problem, I can provide them. Tian Zhikun, as long as you make something, I will be rewarded. These righteous dynasty bastards have all hit the door, if you don't want to find a way to beat them out, I can't get out of this breath, please be sure to help. ”

Listening to this tone, he knew that Tian Zhikun was not a servant of the Lei Chamber of Commerce, but an invited hired worker.

There are craftsmen in the chamber of commerce, which is a consistent practice in the Wu Nation, which can facilitate the restoration of some ancient objects or make the utensils requested by distinguished guests. A good craftsman, who has a high status in the Umno country, is basically a free body, and will not easily be someone else's servant.

Moreover, Tian Zhikun is still a refiner, and he seems to be only one step away from the caster, so Lei Mu is very polite to him.

Meng Huan Chilong stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Tian, on behalf of Lord Cheng Shou and Lord Joiner, please organize someone to try it." If it does, it will be equivalent to doing us a great favor, so that the defending city will have lethal weapons to suppress the formation. If you don't succeed, even if you accumulate experience, you can inspire others. ”

Long Qishui responded and said on the side: "Yes, the trial process, all the expenses of the city guard mansion out." If you need other craftsmen, I'll invite them, and the Lei Chamber of Commerce will try to make bows and crossbows. As long as it is made, the city guards will buy it all, and you don't have to worry. ”

Tian Zhikun hesitated for a while and said: "I saw this kind of bow and crossbow many years ago, but I haven't made it myself, so I'm not sure." The adults said to invite craftsmen, I suggest that some top craftsmen come first, there are many people, and they may be able to come out after discussion, but after trying to make it, more craftsmen may be required to do it. ”

Long Qishui felt that this was called Tian Zhikun, and he seemed to be somewhat sure of making a large bow and crossbow, so he didn't hesitate to send a personal guard out immediately, asking him to invite the best carpenters, blacksmiths, and other craftsmen in the city to the Lei Chamber of Commerce.

This idea was thought of by Meng Huan Chilong, and he also had some ideas in his head, so he pulled Tian Zhikun and a few craftsmen to sit on the side and began to discuss the matter of the bow and crossbow.

In the process, some craftsmen came one after another. Three stinkers arrived at Zhuge Liang, there were many people and many ideas, and more than a dozen people discussed for an hour, drew two kinds of drawings, and decided to make such a strong crossbow.

One is a six-foot-long crossbow arm that can be fixed under the foot and made of iron. The other is four feet long, with wheels underneath, which can be pushed on the city wall, wooden, and all bows and crossbows are leaning against columns and sliders, and the direction is adjusted up and down, left and right. In order to distinguish the hand-held bow and crossbow, they continued the name of the warring nation and called this large bow and crossbow a strong crossbow.

What is missing now is the details, such as the crossbow arm slide of the strong crossbow, the curvature of the bow back, etc., these technical things, Meng Yu Chilong can't interject his mouth, he can only watch the craftsmen discuss, and listen to it himself.

Whether it's talking about graphics just now, or talking about technical things now, he has learned a lot of new things. And he also has a feeling that after his consciousness is enhanced, his learning ability and thinking ability seem to have increased a lot, and he can understand everything if he thinks about it a little.

His instinctive sense of things and his super understanding made Tian Zhikun surprised, and he unconsciously glanced at Meng Huan Chilonggao.

After discussing with several people, it was decided to make the wooden one first, and then make the iron one when the wooden one was successful, because the wooden one is easy to make, and you can know whether there is a technical problem as soon as possible, and you can modify it immediately. So after the craftsmen discussed it, they began to move, ready to try out the wooden crossbow.

Long Qishui is anxious, after seeing the drawings, he immediately discussed with Menghuan Chilong, and decided to order the goods now and finalize the matter, because with the help of the Lianzhu bow and crossbow, the drawings have been drawn, and it is only a matter of time before a real strong crossbow is made.

He found Lei Mu in the workshop, saluted, and said, "Mr. Lei, now that the crossbow drawings have come out, on behalf of the city guard, I want to order this batch of goods with Mr. Lei, and I will ask someone to send the deposit when I turn around." And the craftsmen who have been recruited are counted as the guards of our city, and they will not lose a penny of their wages at that time. ”

As soon as Lei Mu heard about the money, his eyes widened, and he said: "This is for Yitian City, how can you ask the city guard to pay for it, if the strong crossbow is built, count me Lei Clan's Chamber of Commerce as contributing to Yitian City, and everything will be sent to the city guards for free." Don't blame me if it didn't work out. ”

Long Qishui looked at Meng Huan Chilong in embarrassment, he had been pulling for a while for the matter of the shield just now, which made him feel a headache, if it was to talk, there might not be many people who were the opponents of merchants.

Although Meng Huan Chilong is wary of Long Qifeng, but the city gate official Long Qishui is to his taste, although Long Qishui also has the sleek of the family, but he is not as arrogant as the family, and he is also playful, some little sincerity, basically the personality of the Wu people.

Seeing Long Qishui look at himself, he knew what he meant. "Master, Lord Long is negotiating a deal on behalf of the City Guard, you have to follow the rules. This battle will not end for a while, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. Let's just say that this strong crossbow, if the power is strong enough, the entire Wu Clan Kingdom will be equipped, do you also give it away for nothing? I think it is still according to the merchant's method, you can do what you want, it's a big deal that the master doesn't make money, but the capital still has to be given. ”

Long Qishui immediately smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, if we don't charge money, we are embarrassed to purchase." What's more, this is not a family business, if you really want to build a strong crossbow, other workshops will also participate. If you don't want money, the rest will be difficult to handle, isn't it?

Tian Zhikun smiled bitterly on the side: "You are trying to force me to death, the strong crossbow has not been trial-produced, and they have started to talk about the transaction." In fact, there are still many technical issues here, and I am not sure, such as whether this slipway will affect the flight of the crossbow spear, and how powerful and far it can be fired. And even if this strong crossbow is made, it's useless for us to keep it, and we have to give it to the city guards, isn't it too early to talk about money?"

Lei Mu hurriedly said when he heard this: "That's it, that's it, I'll talk about it after the thing is tried." When you know the cost, it's good to quote, how can you make money from the government!"

Long Qishui glanced at Tian Zhikun and said, "Mr. Tian, I have confidence in you! Mr. Lei, the cost hasn't come out, how about we not set the price first? But the contract must be there, so that I can go back and have a certificate, and I will be more sure. ”

Psychologically, it makes sense that Long Qishui was in a hurry to sign the contract. That thing hangs there, and it doesn't fall into your own hands, and it's always uneasy.

Lei Mu went to see Tian Zhikun, Tian Zhikun hesitated for a moment and nodded, which means that Tian Zhikun has the certainty of making a strong crossbow. Lei Mu also wants to make himself down-to-earth, if he signs a contract and can't do it, isn't it a joke?

Long Qishui saw the two of them making eye contact, and shouted happily in his heart. In his mind, if he can really build a strong crossbow, not only can he rely on the defense of Tiancheng to go up the ladder, he must have a credit, no matter how he said it, he was the first person to mix in this matter, so he pulled Lei Mu to sign the contract in a hurry.

Tian Zhikun also left, pulling a few craftsmen to study the details on the strong crossbow, these craftsmen knew that there was about to be a war, and they were also very concerned about designing this new weapon.
