Chapter 56: The Giant Ballista
Early in the morning, Cheng Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soft delicate body in his arms, his heart was full of a feeling of fulfillment, and he looked down at the lovely person in his arms, only to see Shen Min's long eyelashes constantly shaking, as if to indicate that the beauty in his arms was about to wake up.
Cheng Ming smiled and reached out to pinch Shen Min's cute little nose, looked at Shen Min's eyes that opened because of suffocation, and said gently.
"Awake?"
Shen Min looked at Cheng Ming's smile, his face flushed with shyness, and he flipped up in a flash.
"That~ That, Brother Cheng, I drank too much yesterday."
Cheng Ming said with a smile, moved his arm, which was a little numb by Shen Min, and said, "It's okay, I didn't suffer anyway, hehe." โ
Cheng Ming made a rare indecent ridicule of Shen Min, causing Shen Min to blush and rush out of the door, he should have gone back to his room.
Cheng Ming stood up, moved for a while, and saw that the bed of the old road next to him had not been moved, and said strangely: "This old guy didn't come back overnight, why did he go?" โ
Cheng Ming washed up, then came to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, as soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Lao Dao and Di Yan sitting in the cafeteria eating breakfast, both of them did not look good, and the heavy dark circles under their eyes indicated that they had not slept well last night.
Cheng Ming finished the meal, sat opposite the two, and asked strangely.
"What did you two do last night?"
Lao Dao said with a tired and helpless face.
"Last night, Di Yan and I squeezed into a bed, and the kid in his dormitory was so snoring that I didn't sleep well all night."
Di Yan is a little better than the old man, after all, he is much younger, although he is also a little tired at this time, but the focus is Cheng Ming's gossip.
"Brother Cheng, how was it last night, how many times?" Di Yan asked with a wicked smile.
"What times, what do you say?" Cheng Ming tugged at the meal suspiciously, and asked Xiang Lao Dao again: "Real person, you don't sleep in your own bed, why do you run to sleep with Di Yan?" โ
Lao Dao said with an indignant face: "It's not to create space for your kid, I saw Shen Min go to the room last night, and he didn't come out, I was afraid of disturbing your kid's good deeds, so I didn't go back." โ
Cheng Ming was embarrassed by what Lao Dao said, and immediately understood the meaning of what Di Yan said several times, and said with a blushing face: "Don't talk nonsense, Shen Min was drunk last night, and we have nothing to do." โ
Di Yan listened to Cheng Ming's words, suddenly shook his head and said, "Brother Cheng, you reminded me of the previous story that beasts were inferior to beasts. โ
"What beast is not as good as?"
The three of them were talking, a crisp female voice came, and the three of them looked and saw Shen Min walking over with a plate of food and sitting next to Cheng Ming.
"It's nothing, Di Yan is talking nonsense." Cheng Ming naturally knew the allusion that beasts and beasts were inferior, and hurriedly diverted the topic and said.
"Real person, how do you arrange it today?"
Lao Dao said angrily: "What is the arrangement, I want to go back to sleep, no one will disturb me today, if you two have something to do in the future, go to Shen Min's house, hasn't she always been alone!" After speaking, Shi Shiran left.
Shen Min was extremely embarrassed by the old way, and pinched Cheng Ming hard under the table, and Cheng Ming, who was in pain, grinned for a long time.
Di Yan saw that Lao Dao was gone, and he also smiled: "Sister-in-law, you can take Brother Cheng to your room, and I can move over and no longer be bothered by snoring." โ
Cheng Ming slapped Di Yan a little embarrassed when he heard Di Yan say this, and scolded in his mouth: "What nonsense! "But Di Yan was born as a gangster, and it's strange that this light slap can't be avoided.
"Sister-in-law, I will entrust you for my future happiness, I will leave first, and I will not disturb you two." After saying that, he smiled evilly and ran away.
"You~ don't listen to their nonsense, they are the ones who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Cheng Ming said to Shen Min a little embarrassed.
Shen Min lowered his head at this time, vigorously picking up the food on the plate, and did not speak.
Just when Cheng Ming was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Shen Min suddenly said in a low voice: "If you want to move over, just move over, I don't object." โ
Shen Min's words made Cheng Ming's heart flutter, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.

The next two weeks passed smoothly, and after two more battles, the Pioneer had been perfected to a great extent, upgrading to the Pioneer 2, with 8 erected around the base, achieving all-round defense without dead ends.
At the same time, with the efforts of several academicians, 4 super-large modern ballistas were also created, using the throwing spears left over from the spider S type as arrows, with an attack distance of up to 12 kilometers, which played a decisive role in the third defensive battle, so that Cheng Ming and the four of them felt that there was no chance to shoot.
As for Cheng Ming personally, in the end, under the coercion and temptation of Lao Dao and Di Yan, and with Shen Min's acquiescence, Cheng Ming finally moved to Shen Min's room, but as for the two of them never crossed the thunder pool, only the two of them knew.
In the conference room, everyone discussed the gains and losses of the third battle.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Jin Xin, 28 years old this year, his ancestors are very famous bow and crossbow craftsmen, and the four crossbow cars this time are also made thanks to his help."
This is a very delicate man, with a polite temperament, which gives a very comfortable feeling.
"Academician Chen praised it falsely, I just started it, and the rest was done by a few academicians." Jin Xin said modestly.
"Young people, don't be so modest, you did a good job, although everyone knows the principle of the bow and crossbow, but how to increase the range and ensure accuracy on the basis of this, this is not something we can know, these weapons have historical precipitation.
Academician Chen has always said one thing and directly said the important role of Jin Xin in this project.
"Well, the lad did a good job, but is there any way to improve this accuracy and lethality? Although our range is very long, the lethality and accuracy are still a bit insufficient. โ
Lao Dao asked, because in this battle, although the range of the giant ballista was dazzling, many of them needed three or four to shoot a spider mecha, and at the same time, the accuracy was also a little insufficient, and the hit rate was less than 50 percent, so Lao Dao asked such a question.
Everyone also looked at Jin Xin when they heard Lao Dao's question, and Jin Xin thought for a while and said.
"I won't go into detail about the workmanship of the original crossbow machine, I'll just talk about the super large crossbow machine we made this time, first of all, in terms of materials, we chose the spear-throwing metal provided by the spider mecha as the bow arm, we found that the flexibility of this metal is particularly strong, and it is very suitable for use as a bow arm, and at the same time, we added multiple sets of pulleys to improve his range on the basis of saving energy.
As for accuracy and lethality, because the time is too tight, we haven't dealt with the arrows yet, and we directly use the spear as an arrow, if we make the spearhead a spiral cone, and add an alloy tail to the spear, it should improve the accuracy and lethality. โ
Jin Xin explained the principle of bow and crossbow production and the solution to the lethality and accuracy in front of everyone, and everyone knew it in their hearts, yes, the time is so tight, it is very good to be able to make this.
"Okay, Jin Xin, then I hope you can complete the improvement of all the things in the next week, hard work." Major Chang said with a smile that these three battle victories also increased Major Chang's confidence a lot, and the momentum of the unconscious superiors also increased a lot.
"Yes, Major, promise to get the job done."
