Chapter 18: Flying Crossbows
Last week, I was second on the new book list and first on the VIP list, thank you for your help, let's continue to work hard this week!
*********************
"It's ingenious." When Mo Zhiwei saw this scene, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.
Mo Zhou and Liu Zhouzi also nodded slightly, appreciating Mo Lin's imagination.
"It's going to be launched next, please look at it." Mo Lin pulled the blue line.
With the tugging of the blue thread, a row of crossbow arrows emerged from the belly of the crossbow machine and automatically landed on the bowstring.
The bowstring was full of strength, and under the watchful gaze of everyone, a series of reeds rang out aggressively, and ten crossbow arrows shot out one after another.
The crossbow arrow broke through the air, and the force was swift and straight into the dirt in the distance, and the tail of the arrow couldn't help shaking.
"Good!" Limpo was the first to applaud vigorously, and the others were full of praise.
A few soldiers who were still looking at Mo Lin with disdain were dumbfounded, and looked at those crossbow arrows in a daze, only then did they know that they had lost their eyes.
The handsome soldier was also in the crowd, and he kept staring at the kite flying in the air, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Under Mo Lin's control, the crossbow machine quickly changed back to the appearance of a clumsy square box, and then slowly descended and returned to Mo Lin's arms.
"Very good, this wind ...... Oh, and the flying crossbow is very well done. Mo Zhiwei gave a thumbs up and praised.
Although Mo Zhou and Liu Zhouzi have already shown obvious appreciation for Mo Lin's work, they are not so easy to let go. The ink shaft was the first to ask the question.
"How many arrows does this flying crossbow have, and how strong can it handle the wind speed?"
He is worthy of being a master craftsman, and he pointed directly to the practicality of the flying crossbow.
Mo Lin was already prepared, and said busily: "The crossbow machine of the flying crossbow can be equipped with fifty crossbow arrows, and there are three shooting methods: single shooting, five continuous shooting and ten salvos, and the operator can choose according to the specific situation." Although the surface of the kite is linen, it is soaked in special grass juice, the crossbow machine is made of bronze and black iron, and the kite string is kneaded with a century-old vine and bronze wire, even in a violent storm, as long as it is operated properly, it can be lifted into the air. ”
Mo Zhou nodded, very satisfied with Mo Lin's answer.
Mo Lin looked at Liu Zhouzi and wanted to see what was wrong with this master craftsman, so he saw Liu Zhouzi ponder for a moment and said, "Why do you make the flying crossbow so ugly?" ”
For onlookers, Liu Zhouzi's question is a bit difficult.
At the beginning, everyone regarded Mo Lin's flying crossbow as a simple kite, and no one expected that there were so many hidden functions. But now everyone knows that the flying crossbow is very practical, and Liu Zhouzi actually asked from the outside, isn't it embarrassing.
However, Mo Lin seemed to know that Liu Zhouzi was going to ask this question, and he took out two cloth rolls from his arms and said, "Actually, I designed three different kite surfaces to use in different situations. As he spoke, he unfolded two rolls of cloth, and when they looked at them, one was all black, and the other was covered with green dye.
Liu Zhouzi's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, but he still asked, "What is the difference between these three?" ”
Mo Lin pointed to the three kinds of cloth one by one and said, "The blue and white cloth used now is used on a sunny day, the black one is used at night, and the green one is used in the jungle. These three colors allow the kite to be as hidden as possible without attracting the attention of the enemy. ”
The three judges couldn't help nodding, and Liu Zhouzi said: "Very good, I didn't expect your mind to be so delicate, and even thought of the protective color." This flying crossbow is very well done, I love it. ”
It is very difficult to make Mo Zhiwei say that he doesn't like it, and it is also very difficult to make Liu Zhouzi say that he likes it. But when he says this now, everyone takes it for granted, because Mo Lin's works really amaze everyone.
"It's a pity that the workmanship is still a little rough. The interior is so detailed, and the exterior should also be more thoughtful. "For his own disciples, Mo Zhou naturally has higher requirements, although he is a little nitpicky, but it is also the truth.
"Actually......" Mo Lin hesitated, but still said what was in his heart, "What I want to convey is that although some things seem useless on the surface, in fact, as long as everyone pays attention, they can still find their usefulness." ”
Mo Lin's words made everyone stunned, and people who knew Mo Lin's physical condition looked at him in surprise, but they didn't expect him to use such a method to express his feelings through metaphors. Although people who don't understand are confused, they also vaguely feel that Mo Lin's words have some truth.
Mo Zhou listened to Mo Lin's words, and then he knew the disciple's heart. Thinking of Mo Lin's hard work during this time, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and said in a low voice: "Mo Lin, it's really hard for you." ”
Mo Lin smiled, looked at the flying crossbow in his hand, and thought: Flying crossbow, I was born as simple as you, but we all have to work hard to be useful.
The little sensation caused by Mo Lin is over for the time being, and the judges continue to judge other works. However, no one dared to underestimate Mo Lin's works anymore, and many people came around to ask Mo Lin about the mystery of the transformation of the wooden box into a crossbow machine. Especially He Xiaogong and a few people, they apologized to Mo Lin for looking away yesterday.
While chatting with everyone, a group of people walked into the auditorium, and a girl in the front had bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and her black hair was tied into a ponytail dangling behind her head. As soon as she walked in, she looked around, and when she saw Mo Lin, she immediately waved excitedly.
"Mo Lin."
Mo Lin followed the prestige, and saw Luo Qianqian standing not far away with a smile on her face, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Qianqian, why do you have time to come." ”
Luo Qianqian said with a smile: "The teacher said that there are a lot of interesting things in your craftsman's final test, let us also take a look, maybe some of them can be used." I'm here to cheer you on. ”
Seeing Luo Qianqian's more and more beautiful face and clever smile, Mo Lin's heart was pounding, and it seemed that some unknown feelings germinated in his heart. He couldn't tell what was going on, he just felt that Luo Qianqian was very sweet when she came to see her final test, and he just felt that talking to her was the happiest thing in the world.
"Come and see my work, the three teachers all said yes." Mo Lin happily took Luo Qianqian's hand to look at his flying crossbow.
There were more than a dozen people who walked into the auditorium with Luo Qianqian, all of whom were inkers at the same time as Luo Qianqian, and they were all former classmates of Mo Lin. One of the tall young men had been looking at Luo Qianqian, and when he saw Mo Lin take Luo Qianqian's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. This added a hint of shadow to his face that had always been calm and calm.
"Yang Li, why are you stunned, go over and take a look." Someone slapped him from behind.
Yang Li smiled, and went to see the work with the others, but his eyes crossed the crowd from time to time and fell on Mo Lin and Luo Qianqian, which were full of complicated emotions.
"Oh, why is it so ugly." is worthy of being a girl who loves beauty, as soon as she saw Mo Lin's work, Luo Qianqian immediately frowned.
"Don't just look at the appearance, it's very practical. In fact, the reason is very simple, it is to combine the kite with the miniature trap crossbow I gave you before, and you can shoot enemies from the air. Mo Lin said triumphantly.
"It's not a big deal, I thought you'd make something new." Luo Qianqian was a little disappointed. She can't be blamed for this, after all, she has been using the miniature mechanical crossbow for a long time, so she is not surprised.
"Uh...... I'll keep trying. Mo Lin said a little embarrassed.
"That's interesting." Luo Qianqian's eyes fell on Lin Bo's roller shoes on the side, and she immediately inquired curiously.
When Lin Bo saw the beauty inquiring, he was already excited, and immediately explained to Luo Qianqian excitedly, and warmly invited her to try it on.
Luo Qianqian was very curious, and immediately tried it, she was worthy of a rigorously trained ink master, and soon mastered the skating skills of roller shoes, and in a few moments she was shuttling back and forth in the auditorium.
"Mo Lin, these wheels are so interesting, much more fun than your flying crossbow." Luo Qianqian seemed to like roller shoes very much, and when she passed by Mo Lin with a smile, she dropped such a sentence.
Mo Lin glared at Lin Bo with a little annoyance, but saw that he was looking at him with envy, and whispered to himself: "Mo Lin, I really envy that you have such a good relationship with Qianqian." ”
"How can there be......" Mo Lin smirked, full of secret joy. Watching Luo Qianqian shuttle back and forth in the crowd like a fluttering butterfly, his heart was about to melt.
A morning of free time passed quickly, and after lunch, the afternoon continued.
The afternoon was simple, with three judges scoring all the entries at a maximum of 10 and a minimum of zero. If the total score is higher than 18 points, even if you pass the final test, you will be awarded the title of Star Craftsman, and you will be able to build machinery independently. If the total score is less than 18, you can only go back to study for another year and wait for the next year to take the test.
In addition to judging whether the artisans passed the test, the three judges also selected the three entries with the highest overall score and awarded them respectively. Because the stakes are high, the craftsmen are very nervous. Mo Lin sat at the bottom of the auditorium, watching the three judges on the stage discussing and discussing, and his thoughts seemed to return to that hot day more than a year ago.
"Hopefully this time there will be a good result." Mo Lin thought to himself.
