Meng Tian asked in a low voice," "Gongsun Family Head, can you make this Cloud Piercing Crossbow?”
Gongshu Chou looked at the crossbow. "This kind of crossbow doesn't use the tail feather as the tail, but three metal pieces in a spiral shape. I don't understand why.”He reached out and weighed the crossbow bolt in his hand. It was only three inches long and was completely made of metal. It was abnormally heavy in his hand.："This kind of crossbow bolt is twice as heavy as a bow made of bamboo. The arm of the Cloud Piercing Crossbow is only one foot long, but it can still pierce through heavy armor within 120 steps.”
Wang Jian's head turned black," "The Cloud Piercing Crossbow is loaded with a swing arm, and the archer doesn't need to pull it himself. As long as he learns to aim, ordinary soldiers can use it.”
Gongshu Chou put down the crossbow bolt and picked up the Cloud Piercing Crossbow. He slowly shook the arm and listened carefully to the sound of the internal gears turning. "This is the power of machinery. Although the Gongshu family can also manufacture machinery, I have to admit that this design is completely ingenious.”
Gongshu Chou watched as the bowstring was slowly pulled back by a black iron hook. The bowstring made a buzzing sound, indicating the strength of the pull. With a click, the bowstring fell into the slot. The winding process was completed.
Although he really wanted to put the arrow box back on and see how the arrow was put on the bowstring, this was Xianyang Palace, and the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was sitting in the main hall. He was afraid that he would be killed by the palace guards before the arrow box could be inserted into the slot. He had no choice but to put down the Cloud Piercing Crossbow. He said, "If you want to know the structure of the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, you have to take it apart.”
Meng Tian said nervously," "After Gongsun family head has taken it apart, can you put it back?”
Gongshu Chou glared at Meng Tian," "Bronze asked Gongshu. General Meng, you're underestimating me.”
Meng Ta smiled in shame. "May I ask, Gongsun Clan Head, what material are these bowstrings and bolts made of?”
The bowstring and crossbow bolts were black in color, but they were definitely not made of bronze. They were clearly made of a strange metal. However, it was beyond Gongshu Chou's understanding that the metal could withstand such a powerful pulling force when it was pulled to the thickness of a strand of hair. With a grave expression, he stretched out his finger and touched the bowstring. The taut bowstring instantly cut his hand. "What kind of metal is this?"
Gongshu Chou's craze for the Tyrannical Machine Book made him unable to put down the Cloud Piercing Crossbow. He did not see Wang Jian and Meng Tian's expressions getting darker and darker.
The Yan Country was not the ultimate goal of the two generals. They simultaneously turned their attention to the Chu Country, which had the Xiang Clan. In the future battlefield, they would definitely have to fight against the Xiang Clan. If they could equip their troops with such powerful Cloud Piercing Crossbows, their chances of winning would increase by 30%.
The Xiang Clan, like Wang Jian and Meng Tian, belonged to the same military school. They had been brave and experienced generals for generations. They had conquered the six countries and placed Chu at the back because they were afraid of losing to the Xiang Clan and affecting their morale. After the crusade against the Yan Country, the Qin King's army would definitely target the Chu Country.
The Soaring Dragon Legion under the Xiang Clan was not only well-equipped and well-trained, it was not inferior to Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry. What was even more terrifying was that the Soaring Dragon Legion not only had good generals from the Xiang Clan, but they also had a wise man like Fan Zeng as their advisor. The battle with the Soaring Dragon Legion was bound to be a bitter and fierce battle.
Ying Zheng did not expect that a Cloud Piercing Crossbow would have such a complicated structure. Even Gongshu Chou, who was known as the best craftsman in Great Qin, did not dare to say that he could replicate it.
If there was only one Cloud Piercing Crossbow, it wouldn't be of much use to Great Qin. Only by equipping a large number of soldiers and forming an army would they be able to unleash the Cloud Piercing Crossbow's full potential and deal the greatest damage to the enemy.
Ye Qing asked with concern as the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xianyang Palace.："Milord is not feeling well. I'll go in myself!。”
Yueshen shook her head. "Your personality is unbridled, and you speak without fear of respect. I'm worried about you entering the palace alone to meet the King of Qin.”
Ye Qing's heart warmed. "Thank you for your concern."
Yueshen sighed softly. "I'm indifferent by nature, and I wholeheartedly pursue the path of immortality, but I always have an unspeakable concern for you. Could it be that you're a demon in my heart?"”
Is the Moon Goddess confessing to me?，Ye Qing thought narcissistically and smiled.; "How could a handsome and unrestrained young Daoist like me become a demon in Daren's heart? I can only say that Daren and I are fated in this life.”
Yueshen didn't hear the filth in Ye Qing's words. She quietly looked at his handsome face and said faintly.："According to my personality, I should have killed you the first time we met, but for some reason, I just couldn't do it. Therefore, I had no choice but to accept you into the Yin-Yang School. However, your lawless personality will sooner or later bring disaster to the Yin-Yang School. Ye Qing, let me give you a piece of advice. In front of the King of Qin, it's better to restrain yourself.”
Ye Qing nodded. "Don't worry, Moon Goddess, I know what to do.”
"You have no sense of propriety." Even the noble and elegant Moon Goddess couldn't help but scold.
"Sir, be careful with your words. The word fart is an insult to your status.”Ye Qing smiled.
"Shameless bastard." Yueshen's face flushed red as she laughed.; "Hurry up and get out of the car. How long do you want Qin Wang to wait?”
Ye Qing smiled in shame. The emperor had called him to come and not board the ship. It depended on what kind of king he was to claim to be a wine immortal. Ying Zheng was not a generous king. He was used to being idle and had forgotten that this was ancient times. When the emperor was angry, the land was barren. That was exactly what he meant by a tyrant like Ying Zheng.
When Ying Zheng saw the Moon Goddess and the Demon Master walking into the hall, a rare smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
Yueshen squatted down slightly. "Moon Goddess, please forgive me for being late."
Ye Qing performed a Daoist salute. "Your Majesty, I just arrived in Xianyang and was not used to the environment, so I took a short rest. Please don't blame the Moon Goddess for making you wait.”
When the Moon Goddess heard Ye Qing take all the blame on her, although she knew that the King of Qin would not blame her, she felt a sweetness in her heart. This kid was quite responsible.
Ying Zheng smiled and said," "The Moon Goddess is loyal to the country, what crime is there? How is the Demon Master's body?”
Wang Jian, Li Si, and Meng Tian had long gotten used to Ying Zheng's favor to the Demon Master, so their expressions were blank. Gongshu Chou was shocked. The King of Qin had personally asked about his body. It was unimaginable how much this kid was doted on.
Ye Qing bowed." "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This little Taoist is very knowledgeable in medicine and has taken some medicine.”
Ying Zheng nodded," "Just now, the Gongsun Family Head had already checked the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow. He was full of praise for the exquisite craftsmanship of the crossbow, but he did not recognize the material used.”
