Hua Qingxue smiled shyly and replied: "Patterned blade is a natural pattern formed on the surface of the blade after being folded and forged for hundreds of times. It is generally divided into two types, one is the water pattern and the other is the cloud pattern. Among them, the cloud pattern is the most difficult to cast. This type of pattern blade has a tough and sharp edge, and a balance of hardness and softness. If other types of swords collide with it, it will be damaged continuously, so it is considered the best among the best!"
Liu Tiejiang was very surprised when he heard this, but he was also convinced by Hua Qingxue's words.
"If it is really so powerful... then... then if I can make a batch of such swords for the soldiers of Da Qi, wouldn't we, Da Qi, be invincible from now on..." Liu Tiejiang thought of this forging method. All kinds of benefits arouse a boiling blood in my chest!
If he could forge the patterned blade, his life... this life would not be in vain!
Blacksmith Liu felt that he suddenly felt motivated, took out the unfinished knife from the cold water, and started forging it again.
Guessing that nothing would happen to her, Hua Qingxue quietly exited the workshop.
As soon as it came out, wow...
So cool.
The temperature was really high in the workshop just now. It was a cold time in early spring. She had only been in for a short time and she was already sweating.
Next, it’s time to go to the crossbow camp.
Hua Qingxue walked leisurely to the Gongnu Camp. On the way, she would meet craftsmen carrying materials and say hello with a smile.
The Ordnance Supervision has always been a man's world. Everyone is very rough on weekdays, but suddenly a woman comes here. She speaks softly and has a gentle and elegant smile. Passing by her is like a spring breeze!
Everyone likes to move up.
"Yo! Miss Hua!"
"Miss Hua is busy!"
"Hello, Miss Hua, where are you going, Miss Hua?"
"Miss Hua..."
"Go, go! You don't have to work anymore!" Liang Wensheng stood at the door of Gongnu Camp and shouted.
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
Liang Wensheng glanced at it proudly, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
It seems that although he is usually a docile and unassuming person, at critical moments, the authority of the supervisor is still needed.
Feeling someone approaching behind him, Liang Wensheng turned his head and looked -
It turns out that the General is here!
"I went to the camp and didn't see you." Fu Tingye said.
Of course Liang Wensheng would not think that this sentence was meant for him...
"I just went to the iron camp." Hua Qingxue smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
"How's the progress?" Fu Tingye walked to her side as a matter of course, and the two of them headed to Gongnu Camp side by side.
Hua Qingxue: "Well, it went very well. We can recruit thirty craftsmen first and let Uncle Liu teach them to give it a try..."
…
Liang Wensheng looked at the backs of the two people walking further and further away, thinking, what is he here for
Obviously he wanted to come to welcome the Chinese girl, why is he standing here alone now...
So bleak…
…
The craftsmen in the crossbow camp are making bows and arrows according to Hua Qingxue's method.
Fu Tingye picked up a handful of unfinished products and looked at them. Although he had already seen the drawings, now that he saw the real thing, it felt somewhat different.
"Can such a bow shoot a distance of four hundred steps?" Fu Tingye reached out and touched the tip of the bow, feeling incredible.
Liang Wensheng was about to explain, but he saw Fu Tingye looking at Hua Qingxue.
All right…
He'd better stop being annoying.
Hua Qingxue took an old bow from the wooden stand and a new bow to compare with Fu Tingye.
"Whether a bow is good or not depends on whether it can save effort and whether the force is uniform. The most primitive straight-draw bow has a significant shortcoming. The greater the draw, the greater the force required to continue to draw. Drawing force curve It keeps rising and the force is uneven. The advantage is that the structure is the simplest. It doesn't matter how you pull it. The arrow is fast and the arrow is released quickly."
She took out another bow and continued: "This is the bow our soldiers are using now. Structurally, it is a recurve bow. The upper and lower ends are bent in opposite directions to the main body of the bow. Its tension curve is very even. But it is not labor-saving enough. A one-stone bow requires one stone of tension to pull it open. When maintaining the bow position to aim, one must also maintain the tension of one stone. Once the aiming time is long, people will feel tired and the accuracy will be reduced. .”
Fu Tingye held the bow and thought thoughtfully, "You mean... this bow can improve the shortcomings of straight-draw bows and recurve bows?"
"The bow designed by Director Liang is called a compound bow. Because of the special structure, the farther back the bow is pulled, the smaller the pulling force required. For a one-stone bow, it takes one stone to pull it open, but you must maintain your aiming posture. It only requires less than half a stone to pull, and the labor saving ratio is very high.”
Hua Qingxue was afraid that Fu Tingye would not understand the meaning of labor saving ratio, so she gave him an example to explain: "There may be no difference between a one-stone recurve bow and a one-stone compound bow, but the compound bow has a special labor-saving ratio characteristic. After being drawn, the continuous force is less than that of a recurve bow." Curved bow, that is to say, if a person can draw a one-stone recurve bow, then he may be able to draw a two-stone compound bow. Of course, the two-stone bow is more powerful than the one-stone bow, and the range is naturally far greater than that of the one-stone bow. An ordinary one-stone bow."
Fu Tingye asked: "I can draw an eight-stone bow. If I switch to the compound bow you mentioned, it means... a bow equivalent to sixteen stones?"
Hua Qingxue: "..."
OMG…
What kind of monster is this man? ! Can you draw the eight-stone bow? !
One stone is equivalent to sixty kilograms! Nine stones are as heavy as a thousand catties. According to legend, only descendants can pull the nine-stone bow. This guy is almost catching up with descendants? !
Liang Wensheng weakly interjected: "But general... the most we can do now is a nine-stone bow..."
Sixteen stones or something, who has nothing to do to make such a perverted bow
If you have this skill, you can just make a siege crossbow, okay
Fu Tingye didn't dwell on this, and asked Liang Wensheng: "Since this bow is so powerful, why did everything you made before fail?"
Liang Wensheng received 10,000 points of damage: "..."
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have interrupted...
"His initial design was too concerned about labor saving." Hua Qingxue glanced at Liang Wensheng and kindly explained to him, "I think Liang Jianzuo's original intention was probably to allow soldiers who lacked pulling power to be able to fight on the battlefield. Use your power."
Fu Tingye nodded slightly, took the bow in his hand and looked at it again, "According to this progress, I should be able to try the bow in the next two days?"
"Yes." Hua Qingxue said with a smile, "Everyone is very motivated and the progress is much faster than I thought. When the bows in their hands are completed, Supervisor Liang and I will select ten bows with the best quality and let them The soldiers tried their bows separately."
When Fu Tingye heard this, his eyes looking at Hua Qingxue became much gentler without realizing it, "I've worked hard on you these past few days."
Liang Wensheng lowered his head in embarrassment, silently avoiding his eyes...
"It's everyone's hard work. I'm just talking, I can only draw a diagram." Hua Qingxue didn't take credit at all, looking gentle and gentle.
Fu Tingye saw this and felt proud in his heart: She is indeed my woman!
His eyes were scorching, and others might not notice it, but Hua Qingxue couldn't bear it. Her face turned red under his burning eyes, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
This man... the possessiveness in his eyes is too strong...
Hua Qingxue tried her best to divert her attention. She walked to the craftsmen and looked at the bows in their hands one by one. If there were any shortcomings, she would give a few words of advice.
Normally, these craftsmen would always crowd around Hua Qingxue and ask all kinds of questions. Today, it was probably the general who was in charge, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes. They all looked at their noses, eyes, and hearts, and didn't even dare to say a word.
Hua Qingxue walked around the workshop, then looked up and found that Fu Tingye was still looking at her...
"General." Hua Qingxue called him helplessly and shyly.
Fu Tingye's expression returned to seriousness and he said seriously: "I will take you back."
Hua Qingxue looked at Liang Wensheng.
Liang Wensheng said quickly: "Miss Hua, please go back and rest. I will take care of you here. If there is any problem, it will not be too late for me to ask you for advice."
Let's go, let's go! Don't forget to take the General with you when you leave! It's really scary to be here...
So Hua Qingxue followed Fu Tingye like a little daughter-in-law.
…
As soon as he returned to the camp, Fu Tingye couldn't wait to hug Hua Qingxue!
The more he looked at Hua Qingxue, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her.
Why is it so agreeable? Fu Tingye couldn't help but ask himself.
He now regrets why he didn't propose marriage a few days earlier. He hesitated for so long and now has to wait a full year before getting married.
Fu Tingye could not help but raise the corners of his mouth when he felt that the person in his arms was clinging to him, faintly, as if he was still crawling into his arms.
Look, he knew that this woman liked him too!
Hua Qingxue tried her best to press her forehead against the man's strong chest to avoid his too sharp beard...
Hua Qingxue was probably used to Fu Tingye's occasional bear hugs.
Fortunately, this man doesn't do anything too outrageous. This may be related to his traditional and rigorous personality. It was an accident that he hugged her suddenly...
but…
A strange idea suddenly came to Hua Qingxue's mind.
Could it be because... he doesn't know how to do anything else
Hua Qingxue thought about it carefully and felt that it was very possible! - Because Fu Tingye's daily life seems to her to be extremely monotonous. In addition to training, he is training, either training others or training himself. He has hardly seen any entertainment activities, let alone any experience in contact with women.
It's quite sad when you think about it carefully...
He is now a prince after all, but he has never enjoyed the blessings of a prince. He has never been able to live a luxurious and luxurious life. All he thinks about is how to resist the Liao soldiers and how to let the people of Qi live a stable life. .
Hua Qingxue felt soft in her heart as she thought about this. Her hands that were hanging down unconsciously lifted up and hugged the man silently.
Fu Tingye's body suddenly tensed up!
His breathing was a little erratic.
Hua Qingxue felt his stiffness, and just when she felt strange, she felt something hard poking her stomach...
