Gongshu Wang walked into Tianquanshi's study surrounded by a group of assistants, but she did not take the initiative to speak. Instead, she tapped the floor with her cane first.
The assistant immediately got busy.
They took out many machine parts from the package and started splicing them together on the spot.
Goldman Sachs did not ask. He knew that most of the representatives of these government agencies had eccentric temperaments and were accustomed to going their own way. Instead of opening their mouths and being ignored, it was better to wait and see what happened.
After a while, two long-pole-like mechanical iron tools appeared in front of the Heavenly Envoy.
"Is this the iron ball crossbow used by the Jinxia Army?" Goldman Sachs raised his eyebrows.
He had conducted detailed research on the defeat of Qi Guo's army, and naturally knew about the existence of this new weapon. Unfortunately, the Ten Provinces Allied Forces were defeated so miserably that almost no battles were won, so all the information came from word of mouth from the defeated soldiers. , not even a single captured weapon could be obtained.
It wasn't until three weeks ago that things started to change.
A group of people from Qixing stole an iron ball crossbow from the reserve team of Baihe City through inducement and bribery, and transported it to Gyeonggi Province overnight. This was the first time that Tianquan envoys actually saw the real thing.
But now, the physical object has become two.
Goldman Sachs could feel that there were slight differences between the two weapons, but he couldn't tell what the specific differences were.
Only then did the old lady say, "The one on the right was copied by me."
The Tianquan envoy couldn't help but be overjoyed. The public loser's ability was indeed remarkable. He could understand the Mohist masterpiece in such a short time. If it could be produced on a large scale, Jinxia's land in one state would definitely not be able to match the resources of the other five countries. Although he looked down on the use of foreign objects on the surface, he had to admit that this kind of weapon could significantly bridge the gap between low-level alchemists and ordinary people.
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being a member of the government." Goldman said, "I will notify the Xuzhou government immediately and let them prepare for the new workshop. Based on your estimate, how much can be produced within the year?"
The battle for the Gate of Heaven is getting closer and closer, and every increase in strength at this time is extremely important.
"Probably not more than this number." She stretched out her five fingers to compare.
"Five thousand?"
Gong Shuwang shook his head.
"Only five hundred?"
The other party found a chair and sat down, and said impatiently, "Fifty."
Goldman Sachs was stunned. Seven Stars can at least mobilize the resources of five countries. With just one order, craftsmen from all over the country can gather in one place. Under such circumstances, only fifty can be manufactured in six or seven months of the year
The Jinxia Army is far more than this number!
"Why? Is this thing difficult to imitate?" He was a little confused. Judging from the parts just assembled, the structure of the Iron Pill Crossbow was not very delicate and detailed.
"Personally, it's not difficult for me. But there are no more than ten people in the entire Gongshu family who can have this ability." Gongshu Wang's expression showed a rare solemnity. "I initially thought that this thing was just a clever idea, and there was no technical leap forward. But after actually using it, I found that it was more troublesome than expected, such as the mechanism that controls the rotation and air intake of the iron crossbow."
She took out a piece of iron from her arms and waved it in front of the angel of heaven. "Ordinary copper and iron castings cannot meet the usage requirements. They will crack and deform after being shot hundreds of times. Hundreds of times must be used." It can be replaced with forged steel. The problem is that its thickness is about one and a half, and it is basically impossible to process at room temperature. The reddish state of the steel sheet must be maintained throughout the process. This makes it difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, let alone fine processing. .”
The Tianquan envoy didn't know much about mechanism art, so he could only cough twice and said, "So you mean that the difficulty in imitating it lies in the forging of high-heat steel sheets? How did Jinxia solve the problem? Is it because the living dead family is working for the Mo family? Effectiveness? If you need Kanmancers, I can also mobilize a batch of them."
"No need. I don't know the method of Jinxia City, but it is definitely not struck with a hammer against a red-hot steel piece." Gongshu Wang snorted, "There is no trace of any trace on the components of that iron ball crossbow. The traces of multiple knocks, whether it is the air tank or the air box, seem to be natural, there must be a secret to this."
"I understand." Goldman Sachs nodded slightly, "You hope that we can find out the secrets of the Jinxia Mechanism Bureau, right? At present, Qixing has indeed sent many spies to the south, but it may take some time to sneak into the Mechanism Bureau. "
"No, sir, you don't understand what I'm talking about at all." However, the old lady picked up her cane and leaned forward to interrupt, "The significance of this skill is huge, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a revolutionary breakthrough. Jin Xia Cheng's recent machine weapons are emerging one after another, and nine out of ten are related to this technique. It means that hard steel can be changed into the desired appearance at will. For machine masters, this is simply a dream! How many do you want to use it? I think it’s just nonsense for the spies to find out such a core secret!”
The last sentence made the envoy of Heaven frown.
He respected the old man in front of him because she represented the entire public loser, and the public loser was the largest manufacturer of military weapons. Seven Stars needed to use their abilities to enhance their own strength.
But this does not mean that the other party can be superior to the Seven Star Privy Council.
Even Yuyi had to restrain his sharpness in front of him.
"Then what do you want when you come to me?"
"Girl from the Mo family, Mo Yun." Gong Shuwang narrowed his eyes, "Or the whole Jinxia City."
Goldman couldn't help but sneered, "Okay, after Ning Wanjun surrenders, I will deliver Mo Yun to you intact."
"My lord, what I mean is that the Qixing Privy Council should immediately mobilize a large army to attack Jinxia City and eliminate the rebels within this year at all costs." Gong Shuwang's tone became more displeased, "This is not a joke! Provided by Gong Shuwang With the wooden dragon, the five countries can gather an army of 300,000 in two months, and then enter Leizhou from the border of Gao. I don’t know why you want to focus on an island country overseas. This is undoubtedly Give Jinxia a chance to breathe!"
Tianquan's face turned serious. This was not an issue that a family of government officials could discuss. Only a few Seven Star Envoys can truly understand the importance of the Gate of Heaven. It is the key to awakening immortal weapons, far beyond the comparison of a few exquisite magical weapons or mechanisms. "Your Excellency Gongshu, the strategic plan formulated by Qixing certainly makes sense. Instead of worrying about this, you should make more ghosts for our army to use. As for the iron pill crossbow, it doesn't matter if it can't be copied for the time being. Ning Wanjun is still concentrating on the business. As long as she doesn't come out to cause trouble in Shenzhou, we can leave Jinxia to deal with it later."
It's not like he hasn't considered taking Jinxia in one fell swoop and bringing the entire Qi Kingdom into the Seven-Star territory before considering moving eastward. However, the sudden blockage at sea and the long-distance strike capability demonstrated by Jinxia's side made this plan unrealistic. Since there is no way to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, it is also a feasible strategy to control the forces in the north of Qi State to guard against Ning Wanjun and use the main force to fight for the Gate of Heaven.
"That would be too late!" Gong Shuwang stood up suddenly and said.
