Everyone was confused and did not know what was going on. However, Duan Chengzhi seemed to have caught on to something and was pleasantly surprised.
"Lord Zhang, can you explain in detail?”Teng Yu frowned his thick black eyebrows and said in a muffled voice.
"Sure." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled faintly," Sharpness is only one aspect of a weapon. This is the main point. I don't deny it either. But other aspects are also very important. This is also my suggestion for your future development. The lethality refers to the damage caused by the weapon to the opponent. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange the smallest movement for the greatest destructive power.”
"I agree." Teng Yun nodded thoughtfully, indicating for Ma Xiao Shuai to continue.
"What I mean is skill. The skill I'm talking about is that you can use some small tricks when designing and developing.”
"What do you mean?" Teng Yun gradually became interested in what Ma Xiaoshuai said. He was really curious when he said this.
"Give me an example." Ma Xiao Shuai smiled and said to Wang Cheng,""Lord Wang, please give me a pen and paper.”
The poor Wang Cheng remained in a daze when Ma Xiaoshuai introduced him. Although he was not particularly proficient in weapons, he would occasionally play with swords and sabers when he had nothing to do. He understood that Ma Xiaoshuai's points were indeed correct, but what he did not expect was that this weak scholar who would be tired to death from riding a horse in his eyes actually had such a deep understanding.
"Lord Wang." Ma Xiaoshuai saw that Wang Cheng didn't move for a long time and couldn't help but push him.
"What? Oh, okay." Only then did Wang Cheng come to his senses. He did not mind running errands at all and quickly brought over a pen and paper.
"Thanks." Ma Xiaoshuai thanked him and started writing on the table.
The surrounding people were either used to playing with weapons or were very proficient in weapons. Naturally, they understood that Ma Xiaoshuai's words did make sense. At this time, seeing Ma Xiaoshuai clearly explain further, they all crowded forward and stretched their necks to watch. Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi were obviously veterans who were proficient in knives and weapons. Compared to the curiosity of the crowd, they were more expectant.
"Alright." In a short while, Ma Xiaoshuai finished what he was doing and blew at the ink.
"What…what is this?" Teng Yun revealed a puzzled expression, and Duan Chengzhi also had a confused expression.
"Ring Blade!"
"Ring Blade?" Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi both said in unison, somewhat anxious.
Wang Cheng, who was the closest, stretched out his neck and looked at the blueprint. His eyes were wide open, but he still didn't understand what was going on. At this time, he couldn't help but urge and complain," Brother Zhang, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly."”
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded to everyone, picked up the drawing and pointed at the notch that was obviously different from the other weapons.
"This ring knife was designed by a friend of mine in the past. It is also a typical weapon that uses techniques to increase its lethality. Look at this notch. This is not a blood groove, but a few iron rings that are specially left empty. There is no doubt that these iron rings weigh a total of five pounds.”
"Five catties?" Everyone gasped.
"That's right, five catties." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and introduced," But this weight doesn't seem cumbersome at all. Now you can imagine what this ring knife looks like. It's empty, and there are eight iron rings hanging from it. If I raise my hand, what will happen?"”
Ma Xiaoshuai made a posture of raising his knife, looking at the people who were either thinking or looking confused.
"Eight iron rings slide down." A weak voice sounded from the crowd.
As expected, everyone rolled their eyes at the same time, as if they thought that the answer would not be so simple.
"That's right, it will slide down." Ma Xiaoshuai snapped his fingers and smiled.
"Then…what will happen?" Yun Teng frowned and tried to think.
"This is simple. Think about it, if all eight rings slide to the back, then wouldn't the handle be heavier and the sword lighter? Then think about it, if such a situation occurs…"
"The saber will become lighter and easier to lift.”Teng Yun impatiently replied, his eyes shining with splendor.
" That's right. So, you're thinking, if I raise it up and then chop it down…"
"The ring will slide down, and all the weight will be concentrated on the entire body of the knife…lethality…destructive power.”Duan Chengzhi, who was standing at the side, cried out in a neurotic manner. He seemed to have understood something as he mumbled to himself. In fact, he was not stupid. His proficiency in weapons was not inferior to that of the Cloud Leaping Sword. Therefore, Ma Xiaoshuai only needed to give him a little bit of advice to understand. "In this way, the force we use to slash down will be added to the weight of the five-pound iron ring, and the destructive power will be much greater than that of an ordinary saber…I understand, I understand.”
"Haha, I don't even need to say it." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and shook his head.
Everyone who had been listening attentively had some understanding of Ma Xiaoshuai's idea. With Duan Chengzhi's explanation, they immediately understood. They stood in place with surprise, imagining what kind of knife this kind of knife would look like. For the first time, they paid attention to the keywords that Ma Xiaoshuai had mentioned.
Pa, pa, pa!
Teng Yun was the first to applaud with a serious face, followed by Wang Cheng, who was late to realize. Finally, the entire cave echoed with applause. Everyone looked at Ma Xiaoshuai with deep respect in their eyes, while Duan Chengzhi had tears in his eyes. To him, Ma Xiaoshuai not only resolved his embarrassment, but also pointed out the direction of his future development. This was of great significance to him, who loved weapons as much as his life.
"Uh…stop, stop, stop. I told you, this was designed by my friend.”
Ma Xiaoshuai was embarrassed and blushed. After all, the ring knife was just a plagiarism of the ancient cold weapon style. The eloquence was just something that the ancients had chewed on. It was naturally very successful to fool these men who loved weapons, but it was a bit embarrassing to get applause and respect.
Teng Yu waved his hand at everyone, and the applause stopped.
" Lord Zhang, is…is there anything else…" Duan Chengzhi asked nervously.
"Yes, I do." Ma Xiaoshuai appreciated Duan Chengzhi's ability to understand things. He had a good impression of this man who had the temperament of a Confucian scholar. If he asked for advice modestly, it would be even more worth encouraging.
Ma Xiaoshuai took out a pen and paper again. He frowned and thought for a while before starting to write.
A knife that looked like a normal dagger appeared on the paper. However, it was very different from this era. The blade of this knife was a little strange. It was not the mainstream sheet shape, but a triangle shape. That's right, Ma Xiaoshuai's drawing was the special forces weapon that he often saw in movies and television dramas, the three-edged dagger.
When the painting was done, everyone gathered around to take a look. The doubt in their eyes did not decrease, but there was not the slightest doubt.
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't bother to explain but asked a seemingly unimportant question.
"Which one of you knows how to treat knife wounds?”
To Ma Xiaoshuai's surprise, more than half of them raised their hands, and most of them were the conservative side of the Cloud Prancing Army. However, when he thought of their experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, he felt relieved.
"Big Brother Teng then. Let me ask you a question.”Ma Xiaoshuai said to Teng Yun.
"I wouldn't dare. Lord Zhang, you can just call me Teng Yun.”Teng Yun grinned and chuckled.
"Alright, Teng Yun, let me ask you, how do you treat an ordinary knife wound?”
"Usually, the bleeding stops first. If the condition is good, apply some herbs. If there are no such conditions, wrap it with bandages."
"Then what if you wait for the wound to heal automatically?”Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile.
"Yes, of course." Teng Yun said matter-of-factly.
"Then…what if the wound is too big to heal and the blood won't stop flowing?”Ma Xiaoshuai said playfully.
"…Die!" Teng Yun pondered for a moment and said in a muffled voice.
"It's only injured in the thigh. What if it doesn't affect the tendons or bones?”
"Die!"
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded with satisfaction, picked up the blueprint in his hand and pointed it at everyone, saying loudly,""Three-pointed thorn, about three feet long, with a triangular blade. Once stabbed, the wound will be triangular in shape and will not heal in a short period of time. There is no way to stop the bleeding.”
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and turned pale with fright.
"What a ruthless weapon!”Duan Chengzhi muttered to himself with an unfocused gaze.
" If I were to get hit by this thing…" Wang Cheng said in a daze. He shuddered at the thought.
"No need to clap." Ma Xiao Shuai saw Teng Yun raising his hand excitedly and immediately stopped him: "This is still a design of my friend. It has nothing to do with me, so there's no need to applaud.”
Teng Yun, who had his hands in mid-air, was very embarrassed. After a long time, he touched his bald head and laughed foolishly.
This gesture made everyone laugh out loud. Even Duan Chengzhi, who was standing at the side, had a kind smile on his face. After this incident, the atmosphere between the two sides had eased up a lot. Ma Xiaoshuai was naturally satisfied with this. Although Wang Cheng was smiling like everyone else, he would look at Ma Xiaoshuai from time to time, thinking about something.
"Lord Zhang, what was the concealment and convenience you mentioned earlier?”
Obviously, they knew that Ma Xiaoshuai wasn't a pretentious person, so they didn't bother to be polite. At this moment, a voice came from the crowd, and the laughter stopped. However, everyone's eyes once again turned to Ma Xiaoshuai, who was smiling bitterly.
"I have one right now.”Ma Xiao Shuai smiled.
Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the cave immediately lit up. Everyone knew that this Lord Zhang had a very good understanding of things. Anything that could be brought by him was definitely not an ordinary thing. Although the things on the blueprint had shocked everyone, they were not as real as the real thing.
There were more than one or two people who thought this way. Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi also had the same thoughts.
"Then Lord Zhang, can you take it out and take a look?”The straightforward Teng Yun was the first to suggest, and everyone agreed.
"Alright, but the things are in my tent.”Ma Xiaoshuai said helplessly.
"What? How about this…Xiaowu, come out and go to Lord Zhang's tent to get it.”
"No, no, no, there's no need. I'll go by myself.”Ma Xiaoshuai quickly waved his hand and declined.
"Alright, then, then we'll wait." Duan Chengzhi urged repeatedly, not as anxious as the impatient Teng Yun.
"Alright, just you wait." Ma Xiaoshuai said as he walked away.
"Brother Zhang, why don't I know what you brought?”Wang Cheng followed up and said in a muffled voice.
"Uh…Brother Wang, don't follow me, I'll be there soon.”
"Hmm? Then…Alright then." Wang Cheng was naturally curious, but he couldn't insist, so he agreed.
Ma Xiaoshuai ran out of the cave, but he didn't go back to the tent immediately. Instead, he walked to a very remote corner and looked around at the five people around him. Then, he took out his phone and turned it on.
Not long after, Tang Xiao's surprised face appeared on the screen.
"Ma Xiaoshuai, what do you want? Tell me quickly."
Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but roll his eyes,"You only know how to sell me things, you moneygrubber.”
" Yes, yes, I'm a money-grubber, I'm a money-grubber. You're the God of Fortune. Alright, tell me what you want," the money-grubber said repeatedly. He was just short of nodding and bowing. The smile on his face was extremely flattering.
Ma Xiaoshuai curled his lips helplessly and said: " I want to…"
