However, what Shen Ning didn't expect was that Gu Qingze had no interest in the improved version of the Ten Repeater Crossbow.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her eyes and said: "I also know that there is a blueprint for a crossbow that can fire fifty arrows at the same time. It is extremely powerful. Unfortunately, the blueprint I remember is incomplete and the specific production method has been lost. ”
"Five...fifty repeating crossbows?!"
This time Gu Qingze was really shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at Shen Ning for a moment.
"Is there such a magical forging technique in this world? I don't believe it. Hurry up and show me the drawing." He urged impatiently.
It was the first time since Shen Ning had known him that she saw him so unstable.
"But master, the drawing is incomplete. Even if I draw it, I can't make it." She deliberately spread her hands, showing a helpless expression.
Gu Qingze glared at her and said, "If I ask you to paint, just paint. If you can't do it, why can't you, the teacher?"
He could no longer hide the excitement in his voice, the palms of his hands pressing on the chair were even hotter, and his eyes were extremely eager.
Fifty repeating crossbows! This is a fifty-fifty repeating crossbow!
Haha, if he could make a fifty repeating crossbow, he would trample that man under his feet and make him look up to him forever!
Just thinking about it made him feel indescribably happy.
"Okay, then I'll draw it now."
Shen Ning pursed her lips, picked up the charcoal pen again, and began to draw.
Although the manufacturing method of the fifty-repeating crossbow invented by Ma Jun has been lost for a long time, she remembered a few pages of incomplete drawings, so she drew them meticulously according to the graphics in her memory.
Gu Qingze took the drawing, his face became solemn, he frowned and looked at it very carefully.
Shen Ning held her breath and concentrated, not daring to disturb his train of thought.
Because there are so many missing parts in this drawing, and there are no examples of many key parts, it would be extremely difficult to restore the Fifty Repeater Crossbow with just these few pages of incomplete drawings.
The ten arrows of the Zhuge Liannu were already too heavy and clumsy to be used by a single soldier. The fifty arrows of the Fifty Liannu were five times more than the Zhuge Liannu. The weight and volume of the arrow case were also five times larger. , for one person to fire fifty arrows at the same time is tantamount to fantasy, and it is simply impossible to accomplish.
Gu Qingze quickly realized this, so his brows wrinkled tighter and tighter. This was a problem that he couldn't solve at all.
Even if he could make a fifty-fifty repeating crossbow based on this incomplete blueprint, it would be like Zhuge's repeating crossbow, flashy and unusable!
This is absolutely intolerable to him who pursues perfection.
"Fifty arrows weigh twenty kilograms. Even if the arrow shafts are all made of the lightest material, the arrows must be made of iron. If it is the lightest thin-blade type, an arrow must weigh at least six Two, it is no longer possible to reduce the weight. If the weight of the arrow box is added to it... a person will not be able to use it anyway. No, we must find ways to reduce the weight of the arrows... "
Gu Qingze murmured to himself while thinking about it.
He raised his head and looked at the roof, thinking of many ways in his mind, but he rejected every one of them.
"No, this method won't work either. Let me think about it again, maybe this will work? No, it still won't work."
Shen Ning listened without saying a word, knowing that he was stumped by the weight of the arrow.
