For this slingering stick, the catcher seems to be very satisfied.

At present, the catchers generally use an iron ruler, that is, an iron rod, and some will add gauntlets to go up, making the iron ruler like a short fork - this also leads to many officials who would rather take water and fire sticks out on the street than are reluctant to bring this thing, after all, the iron ruler generally does not have a sheath, and the half-cut iron ruler is pinned to the waist, it is uncomfortable to walk and sit and lie down, and it is somewhat unpleasant to look at, far less chic than those knights with swords and swords.

As for why the officials didn't wear swords...... Of course, it's because knives don't work, most of the time they mainly arrest people, not kill people, so naturally it's impossible to wear any bladed guys with them.

The sword can't be used, and the water and fire stick is a long weapon, and the long weapon is naturally majestic and fierce when there is space to swing it, but if you catch thieves and take stolen goods, break down doors and arrest people, this thing is somewhat unsuitable for small space combat - this is why there are iron rulers that are distributed to the catchers, after all, you can't let people be empty-handed, right?

"But this thing works better than an iron ruler!"

At the door of the blacksmith shop, the catcher quickly took the stick back for a while, and then threw the stick away, with a look of novelty.

Compared with the water and fire stick, the iron ruler is already much more portable, but this throwing stick is much more flexible than the iron ruler - this thing is a handle of only seven inches, so small that it can even be carried into the arms, but after throwing it off, it is an iron rod nearly two feet long, which is no different from the size of a normal iron ruler.

And most importantly, unlike the iron ruler that slowly pulls out of the belt of his trousers, when the iron rod is thrown away, there is a crisp sound of metal impact, and the momentum is like a sword unsheathed.

This is too useful for the officials.

Pulling out the iron ruler from the belt, the opposite side may not feel anything, but as soon as the iron rod is opened, the other side has to be startled if it is not said - catching thieves and getting dirty, many times what they want is this momentum, after all, they can deal with it, and it will not be a Jiangyang thief, those ordinary thieves see this scene, I am afraid that their legs will be weak on the spot.

"Why don't you sell me a copy?"

After thinking about it for a while, he simply took out the money and wanted to buy it on the spot.

But Du Chengfeng rejected the deal.

As the world's first throwing stick, of course he had to keep this prototype in his own hands - but he didn't refute the face of this fast catcher, but made another No. 2 machine on the spot, and even confiscated the manual fee, only charged some material money for this fast catch.

"Yes, enough friends, I won't take your things for nothing, I'll talk to the class room when I go back, everyone must be very interested in this...... Rest assured, I will definitely quote the price high, so that you can also make a profit. ”

After making such a promise, the catcher who received the flicker left happily with the flinging stick, and it was obvious that the catcher was very satisfied with the new guy.

And Du Chengfeng is also very satisfied with this transaction.

He doesn't lack this income, in fact, he can even give it away for free, but the things he gives away for free will always seem worthless, so he symbolically received some money - collecting money is actually secondary, the key is to spread this thing out and let more people use it.

After all, the thing itself is not particularly new, and the iron pipe with three sections set together, this thing is actually easy to think of, such as the telescopic spear he captured before, which is a more delicate weapon than the flinging stick, but compared to his throwing stick, the telescopic spear has a fatal flaw.

It's too delicate to be promoted on a large scale.

If there is only one person who uses a blade, then this is just a relatively strange blade, maybe he can do a fresh move when hitting people, but after all, he still stays at the level of a blade - and what Du Chengfeng wants is not this kind of mortal iron, what he wants is a weapon similar to the first judge's pen, which is really attached to the willpower of thousands of people.

And now, after the third attempt, Du Chengfeng has more and more figured out the doorway.

"If you want to be accepted by the public, this blade must be convenient enough for everyone to use, but not too complicated, and the cost needs to be controlled, at least so that everyone can afford it......"

Du Chengfeng, who was sitting in the blacksmith shop, touched his chin and pondered, he felt as if he had stepped into an amazing realm.

"So what if I were to make the world's first musket?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng shook his head directly.

He had hit this thing with a firearm, and it was a serious pistol that was more advanced than a musket, and it was a relic left by Huangtian's father, and it was a commemorative trophy - but it could only be used as a souvenir, after all, the pistol had no bullets, and if he had to rub the bullets himself, it would be a bit too much of a test of his hands-on ability.

What's more, firearms, are they really strong?

If everyone's blades are at the level of mortal iron, then the musket can indeed make a difference, but once it reaches the level of evil qi release, the musket is a little too much.

Every strong man who exerts evil qi can be seen as a moving turret, and the power of those swords and swords is much more powerful than that of bullets.

Even if it's just a matter of getting into the body, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be able to dodge bullets with my agility.

Of course, they are not necessarily faster than bullets, but they are certainly faster than human hands, and if their arms are cut off before the trigger is pulled, the musket will not be able to exert its power.

"This also means that firearms are destined to not be popularized in this year."

Du Chengfeng, who thought of this, had a toothache.

There is no way to popularize it, and there is no way to make the prototype carry the will of the public, and it can't carry the fantasies of all beings, and the musket will only be made of mortal iron.

It's just that a musket of mortal iron may not even be comparable to a throwing stick.

"This ......"

Du Chengfeng suddenly realized that his previous experience, at this time, didn't seem to be very effective.

In this ghostly world of idealism, everything is a completely different set of logic, if he still holds the idea that the musket will definitely be able to defeat the throwing stick, then he will most likely not be able to do anything serious - of course, at the moment, strictly speaking, he made one, and if this thing can be popularized in retrospect, the first throwing stick in his hand is afraid that it can also be the same as the judge's pen, with a lot of incredible power.

And to popularize this thing, it is not very difficult for him, after all, he remembers that Jiang Wenyuan, who is far away in the Jiankang Imperial City, is still working on the prison right now, as long as he asks the other party to help promote it, everything will be fine.

If there is anything bad about it, it is that the slinger is not very friendly to him, and this thing is just a toy in his hands, and it is really not easy to use as a serious blade.

"Hey, wait, am I going to make something for someone else?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng suddenly slapped his head.

He was doing something just now, but he forgot his original purpose.

Looking at the slinger stick in his hand, Du Chengfeng still put this thing away, although he didn't need it, but this prototype machine, as the first promising work, was very commemorative for him - it was at this time that he thought that maybe other people in this world also had this idea, so the original prototype of the blade would become so special in their eyes.

After all, whether it's the first or the first, it's always impressive to come out on top.

"So do something......"

Du Chengfeng continued to think.

This time, instead of thinking with his own mind, he tried to understand this assignment from an idealistic point of view - first of all, he would not be able to do the first one, such as building a sword. And after excluding some of the wrong answers, the rest of the answer choices are also very eloquent.

For example, if the slinger stick in his hand is really extended to all the quick arresters, then this flaking stick, which is used as a prototype, will definitely get some special abilities related to arrest, and considering the huge number of these servants, the willpower attached to this prototype will not be less.

In other words, he has great potential in the future, and if he gives this kind of thing, even he will have a pain in the flesh.

"In other words, there is not so much potential for it."

Du Chengfeng gradually clarified his thoughts.

The potential is not so great, or the people who use it are not so many, as long as the number of people who use it is small, the willpower attached to the prototype can be limited to a relatively limited degree - this means that even if he takes this thing out as a reward, he will not feel too distressed, anyway, this thing has limited potential, it doesn't matter to him.

So the question is, what kind of blade will be used by a certain number of people, but there will not be too many people who use it?

"There it is!"

Du Chengfeng vaguely thought of an answer.

This time, there was no need for sledgehammer repair, more on subtle flame control to deal with the steel, and after a while of busy work, Du Chengfeng finally got his new blade.

It was a slender coil of wire.

"Killers are going to love this, because it's neck-strangulation, it's portable, and it's hard for anyone to make it with the current technology...... But isn't that too little? ”

It's just a roll of steel wire as a prize, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit too perfunctory, it's better to add a few more additions to balance it.

So Du Chengfeng once again used his brain.

There are only two kinds of blades that will be accepted by everyone, one is called portable, that is, it is good to carry, and it does not affect the action when carried on the body, and it is best that others cannot see it, so that it is convenient to carry it. As for the other one, of course, the power is enough, after all, the blade is such a thing, after all, it has to be used to kill people, no matter how hidden it is, at least it must have the ability to harm the human body.

"This should be okay, right?"

This time, Du Chengfeng made a steel flute, this thing stands out as a strong and durable, there is no problem with using it as an iron rod to knock people's heads, the most important thing is that this thing can still be played normally, as long as you don't weigh it, no one can see that there is a problem with this thing.

"No, I still feel like something is missing."

When the new works came out, Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head again, although these works were theoretically passable, he always felt that they were still a little bit uninteresting.

He's a beginner right now, yes, but he always feels that there is something more crucial that he hasn't touched yet.

Thinking like this, he simply made a few more blades, such as a whisk with iron spikes, a staff with a spear head, a pipe made of pure metal, or an iron walnut that could be used to smash people or be played with in his hand...... Although theoretically there was nothing wrong with these blades, Du Chengfeng always felt that something was still missing.

Even, compared to the slingstick, the ones he made later have been inserted in the opposite direction.

Of course, these were originally going to be taken out as prizes, and it was almost enough to do this, but at the moment, Du Chengfeng was already a little bit of a hit, and he always wanted to challenge himself, hit the limit, and see if he could make a better blade than that throwing stick.

"There must be something I haven't touched......"

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng once again began his creation.

Only this time, he didn't rush to pick up the sledgehammer.

Instead, he sat down in front of the forge and thought about it.

If you want a work to be attached to people's willpower, you have to make it recognized, which means that he has to make something that meets people's needs, and no one has done this before this - that is, from nothing, even from zero to one.

"So, what are people's needs right now?"

Du Chengfeng followed this line of thought and thought about it.

People's needs are actually quite chaotic, after all, everyone usually doesn't think about this, as for life, people's needs are diverse, 10,000 people can even put forward 20,000 different needs - and what he has to do now is to find some commonality in this chaos, to find a commonality that has not yet been discovered, but everyone needs it quite a lot.

What everyone needs......

"Wait?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly found that he seemed to have entered a blind spot in his thinking.

Does what everyone needs have to be a blade?

Isn't it a good tool for everyone to need? You know, the Judge's Pen was originally made only as a useful tool, and then evolved into a weapon - or does it have to be a weapon? Isn't armor good? Clothes don't work?

"That's right! That's it! ”

Du Chengfeng grasped the flash of inspiration in his mind.

Then he got busy.

With his previous experience, he finished his work in a short time.

And in front of him, a silver glittering coat was also born.

Whether there was one before, he didn't know.

But this is undoubtedly the first stab-proof suit in the world.
