As the saying goes, you can't survive without being crazy. It was precisely because Gu Qingze was obsessed with this that he easily fell into the big pit designed by Shen Ning.
"good."
It was his words that Shen Ning was waiting for. She pursed her lips slightly and walked to the desk beside her, laying down some white paper.
She was still not used to using soft brushes, so she asked Xiaoru to go to the kitchen and bring in a charcoal stick, smear it on the white paper, and draw a sketch of Zhuge Liannu.
Although it is only a sketch, with only a few simple outlines for each drawing part, in the eyes of an expert like Gu Qingze, the production principle is clear at a glance.
He watched Shen Ning draw the pictures intently, with a look of enthusiasm and joy in his eyes, pondering as he watched.
"Well, that's what it's supposed to be like."
"Not bad, good idea, don't be too clever!"
Sometimes he nodded, sometimes he shook his head. When Shen Ning finished all Zhuge Liannu's drawings, he held them in his hand and looked at them one by one. After a while, he put down the drawings.
"The idea is good, but unfortunately it is too clumsy. A ten-gun crossbow made in this way requires at least two to three people to use it. It cannot be used by a single soldier. When it is put on the battlefield, it is equivalent to a waste and flashy! "
When Shen Ning heard this, his eyes sparkled even more.
Because Gu Qingze only glanced at the production drawings a few times and immediately pointed out Zhuge Liannu's shortcomings. This was no longer the level of an ordinary master.
"You're right, this ten-repeated crossbow is indeed cumbersome, but master, you can improve it, can't you?" She reminded with a smile.
Gu Qingze, as if enlightened, slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted: "Yes, I can improve it!"
But then he lost interest: "But even if I make ten consecutive crossbows, it's not interesting. Qi Yanyu of Northern Qi can already make eight consecutive crossbows. Even if I make ten consecutive crossbows, I won't be any better than him. It's not worth my time." It’s a waste of effort to improve this thing.”
"Qi Yanyu?" Shen Ning asked curiously. This was the first time she heard this name. "Who is he?"
"You don't even know Qi Yanyu? Where did this drawing of the ten-gun crossbow come from? Didn't Qi Yanyu give it to you?" Gu Qingze said in surprise.
"Of course not. I accidentally wrote down this drawing while browsing ancient books. It has nothing to do with the Qi Yanyu you mentioned. Master, is this Qi Yanyu the master who invented and produced the five-gun crossbow?"
Gu Qingze had a strange look on his face. He couldn't think of anyone else in the world besides Qi Yanyu who would develop these ten consecutive crossbows before Qi Yanyu.
He calmed down and said: "Yes, he made the five-gun crossbow, and I heard that he has recently made the eight-gun crossbow. He is the most powerful weapon maker in the Northern Qi Kingdom and the entire continent. Mentioning his There are almost no names that I don’t know. You are an ignorant girl, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know his name.”
"That's amazing!" Shen Ning stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Master, you said he is the most powerful production master, but is he more powerful than you, master? I don't believe it."
"Who said he is better than me? He is good at making weapons, and I am good at concealed weapons and mechanisms. We are both equal in our own strengths!" Gu Qingze's face turned cold.
Tsk tsk, look at Gu Qingze’s stinky face, there must be a story here!
Shen Ning is such a smart person. He immediately guessed that the master and Qi Yanyu were either friends or enemies, or both enemies and friends.
