Chapter 363 Imitation crossbow arrows, three-dimensional defense
Zhao Ya sat cross-legged, trying hard to control the true power of Canglong and the true power of Swallowing Stars in his body, trying to slowly merge the two into one.
But soon, this attempt failed again.
In desperation, Zhao Ya could only open his eyes.
Things were far more difficult than he expected. Just now, he had tried dozens of times, and all failed without exception.
Although the two are inseparable, at every critical moment, there will be an invisible repulsive force that separates them.
It's like onions. Although they are closely connected, there is an invisible film separating them from each other.
It seems that what Guo Luming said is true. Canglong's true power and Swallowing Star's true power are two completely different powers. It is extremely difficult to fuse them together.
Zhao Ya sighed and was about to get up when there were chaotic footsteps outside the hall, and then he saw Gui Xuanqing running in with excitement on his face.
"Brother, it's done, it's done!"
"What happened?" Zhao Ya was still a little confused.
Then Gui Xuanqing happily took out an arrow from his arms and said, "Our crossbow arrow has been successfully imitated."
"Oh?" Zhao Ya was stunned upon hearing this, then reached out to take the arrow from Gui Xuanqing's hand and looked at it carefully.
Previously, Canglong Temple seized many machine crossbows from the killers in Farewell Building.
This thing not only has a long range, but also has huge lethality, and the key sound is very small. It can be said to be a sneak attack and an indispensable for home defense.
The only shortcoming is that there are too few crossbow arrows captured, which are not enough for use.
Coupled with the consumption of the previous battle, although most of the crossbow arrows were recovered, many were so damaged that they could no longer be used.
This resulted in Canglong Temple having an empty artifact, but unable to use it freely.
For this reason, Zhao Ya was also at a loss.
Because this machine crossbow and crossbow arrows are all made by the machine sect, if you want to buy crossbow arrows, you can only go to the machine sect.
But in recent years, the Guan Sect has become more and more mysterious, and its descendants rarely enter the world, which makes it extremely difficult to find them.
Even if you get lucky, you may not be able to buy matching crossbow arrows.
In desperation, Zhao Ya had to let Gui Xuanqing and others find a way to see if they could imitate it.
But they all failed.
Because these crossbow arrows used in machine crossbows are specially made and the processing level is extremely high.
Because only in this way can we ensure that the crossbow arrows will not deflect during long-distance attacks and ensure the hit rate.
But this also makes imitation very difficult.
Because based on the existing conditions of Canglong Temple, it is almost impossible to achieve extremely small errors during processing.
So Zhao Ya gave up later.
Unexpectedly, Gui Xuanqing suddenly gave him a surprise today.
Looking at the streamlined arrow in his hand, with its arrowhead exuding a cold and cold light, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the arrow body. It was smooth and flat wherever he touched it, especially the three-edged arrowhead, which was even more regular.
At least Zhao Ya couldn't see any error with his eyes.
"Has it been tested?"
"After testing, there is almost no difference from the original crossbow at a distance of a hundred steps. There will only be a slight deviation at a very long distance of more than 200 steps." Gui Xuanqing said excitedly.
Zhao Ya was even more surprised now.
Because this achievement can no longer be described as excellent, it is simply explosive.
But it’s obvious that I couldn’t even imitate the most basic shape and quality before.
"How did you do it?"
"Hehe, it's a long story to talk about this and that. Senior brother, you'd better come with me and take a look and you'll know." Gui Xuanqing said with a smile.
Zhao Ya was indeed a little curious, so he followed Gui Xuanqing to the shooting range in the back mountain.
After waiting here, I saw that many people had gathered here.
Most of them were the people who were assigned to use machine crossbows during the previous war.
At this time, their faces were full of excitement, and they were talking non-stop around one person.
When Zhao Ya arrived, the crowd separated automatically.
Then Zhao Ya saw a strange machine.
This thing looks like an oversized spinning wheel, but it's far more complicated than that.
There is another person operating the machine skillfully.
"Jin Fu?" Zhao Ya was surprised.
That's right.
The person who was operating the machinery and processing the arrows was none other than Jin Fu, the outer disciple who was personally summoned by Zhao Ya.
Due to the advent of the war and the impact of the mountain closure, the outer gate at the foot of the mountain has been temporarily abandoned, and the disciples inside have also moved to the temple.
Nowadays, Zhao Ya naturally does not have the time or energy to teach them anymore.
Fortunately, the appearance of Canglong Temple has now taken on a completely new look, and the elders who taught the practice have also changed their minds and started a new life.
So Zhao Ya threw them into the Chuan Gong Hall, naturally including Jin Fu.
However, due to the complexity of everything, Zhao Ya didn't pay much attention to them. Unexpectedly, he actually came to the back mountain shooting range and started working on arrow processing.
"How is it, senior brother? Isn't it shocking?" Gui Xuanqing asked with a proud look on his face.
"Who made this thing...?" Zhao Ya asked in great surprise as he looked at the big guy in front of him. Although it was ugly, many of its principles were similar to those of a machine tool.
"Of course it was created by the joint efforts of us people." Gui Xuanqing said.
"Of course, the one who contributed the most is me, and the other one is Jin Fu."
Speaking of this, Gui Xuanqing's tone was filled with pride.
"At that time, we were all worried about the insufficient processing accuracy of arrows. I thought about it for a long time and felt that it would never be possible to make qualified arrows by relying on manpower and simple equipment. If we want to succeed, we must make a suitable arrow. Mechanical coming.”
"But I was at a loss as to how to get started, until I met him."
Gui Xuanqing raised his hand and pointed at Jin Fu in the distance, his face full of admiration.
"He happened to be passing by the shooting range at the time and saw us thinking about it together, so he came over. After hearing our thoughts, he actually provided some insightful opinions."
"As soon as I heard this, I was enlightened, so I joined hands with him to overcome the difficulties. Unexpectedly, we really succeeded."
"Senior brother, this Jin Fu is truly a rare talent. He is particularly capable of doing things. He is the most proficient at handling this machine, and the arrows he makes are of the highest standard. Even I am far behind."
After listening to Gui Xuanqing's words, Zhao Ya once again deeply realized the importance of talents.
It was an unintentional move at the beginning, but I didn't expect that it would now solve such a big problem for Canglong Temple.
Of course, a large part of this is also due to Gui Xuanqing.
Even though this junior martial arts talent is average, he is very talented in manipulating sophisticated machinery like machine crossbows.
"Well done." Zhao Ya praised sincerely.
At this time, Jin Fu's work at hand was finally almost finished.
He was seen using his hands hard to turn a millstone-like object, thereby driving a grindstone to polish the surface of the arrowhead for the final time.
Soon, the three-sided arrow became discernible.
After the last process was completed, Jin Fu took the arrow off the workbench, and then smiled shyly at Zhao Ya next to him.
"Senior brother."
He had noticed Zhao Ya's arrival a long time ago, but the arrow processing was at a critical moment and he had no time to be distracted, so he did not say hello.
"Well done." Zhao Ya praised with a smile on his face.
"Want to try?" Jin Fu asked.
"good."
With that said, Zhao Ya took the newly processed arrow, took a mechanical crossbow from the person next to him, loaded the arrow, took aim at the bullseye a hundred steps away, and then pulled the trigger. .
Amidst the vibrating sound of the crossbow string, the crossbow arrow instantly spanned a hundred steps and hit the target directly.
The whole process was neat and tidy, drawing cheers from everyone.
Zhao Ya was even more satisfied.
Because in his sight, the fired crossbow arrows were almost in a straight line, which proved that the processing error was extremely small.
Although it has not reached the level of the original crossbow, it is still very different.
A strong look of pride also appeared on Jin Fu's face.
Zhao Ya put down the mechanical crossbow, and then circled around the machine several times. The more he looked at it, the more he felt in his heart.
Although it is very crude in many places, as long as it is slowly improved, sooner or later it will evolve into the machine tools of later generations.
With high-precision machine tools, many things become possible.
When they complement each other, there may be a big explosion in science and technology in this world where martial arts is respected.
Of course, it's too early to think about this now.
However, Zhao Ya still saw a glimmer of hope.
As someone who has experienced the power of science and technology, he naturally sincerely looks forward to this day.
He suddenly stopped and looked at everyone.
"You have done a good job this time, among which Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu are the most important. They helped Canglong Temple solve a big problem. Your contributions will not be buried. I will discuss it with the elders after I go back. Then we will reward you based on your merits."
Hearing what Zhao Ya said, these people were naturally filled with joy.
Gui Xuanqing was even more energetic, looking even more proud than when he sniped and killed the master of the Pulse Opening Realm on the battlefield.
After a commotion, Zhao Ya pulled Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu aside, and then asked in a low voice.
"Now that the problem with the crossbow is solved, do you have an idea of the principle and structure of the machine crossbow? Can it be dismantled and repaired?"
Although the mechanism sect has superb methods and the mechanism crossbow they create is extremely delicate and complex, it also has a high failure rate.
Especially after experiencing the baptism of several wars, many machine crossbows have more or less problems.
There are very few mechanical crossbows that have no hidden defects at all.
This is also a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.
After hearing Zhao Ya's question, Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu looked at each other, and then Gui Xuanqing spoke first.
"Jin Zi and I have been studying this matter for the past two days and have dismantled several mechanical crossbows with serious problems, but to be honest, it is extremely difficult."
"Yes, there are many parts for mechanical crossbows, and the processing dimensions are different. The processing difficulty of crossbow arrows is simply incomparable." Jin Fu added.
Zhao Ya had actually expected this.
After all, the mechanical crossbow is so complex that it can be seen with the naked eye that it would be extremely difficult to imitate it one to one.
"I didn't ask you to imitate it. As long as you understand the principle and structure, you can dismantle the severely damaged machine crossbows to make parts, and then repair the crossbow machines with hidden defects." Zhao Ya said.
"If that's the case, it's not that difficult. You can give it a try." Jin Fu immediately expressed his stance.
"Yes, you can give it a try."
"Well, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just concentrate on your research. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time." Zhao Ya gave the final instructions and then left.
As soon as he walked away, these people gathered around and chatted non-stop.
"Senior Brother Zhao actually came here in person. Our faces are quite exposed this time."
"Yes, who would have thought that Senior Brother Zhao would come in person."
Today's Zhao Ya is simply a legend in the eyes of these young disciples of Canglong Temple.
Especially the last time Zhao Ya turned the tide, attracted the Canglong into his body, and killed Jing Ping Sheng, it has been spread like a legend among these young disciples.
Therefore, one can imagine how excited these people were when they saw Zhao Ya coming in person.
Jin Fu was also very excited at this time.
Jin Fu was full of gratitude to Zhao Ya who recruited him into Canglong Temple and provided him with cultivation and support in all aspects.
So when Gui Xuanqing told him that Zhao Ya was also worried about the processing of crossbow arrows, he immediately made a decision.
Even if he racked his brains, he had to help Zhao Ya get rid of this worry.
Jin Fu has been very capable of doing things since he was a child. Coupled with Gui Xuanqing's whimsical ideas, the two of them were superimposed. This seemingly impossible task was really accomplished by the two of them.
Soon, everyone's rewards came.
Among them, the rewards Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu received were so generous that everyone was stunned.
Jin Fu felt even more terrified, feeling that he had just done something trivial, why did he end up like this.
Later, it was Zhao Ya who personally comforted him and explained the importance of his work, which dispelled his doubts.
Although the problem of machine-made crossbows has not yet been solved, with the sufficient supply of crossbow arrows, Canglong Temple's defense capabilities have reached a new level.
In every corner, Zhao Ya had placed some positions, and these team members armed with crossbows and arrows were stationed there.
These points intersect with each other and cover almost all the blind spots in Canglong Temple.
In this way, a 360-degree, three-dimensional defense system began to take shape.
This is not to say that Zhao Ya is cautious, but after the mountain is closed, it is inevitable that people with evil intentions will come to test him.
Therefore, great efforts must be made in defense.
At the same time in Mohai City, Gui Heshu was staring at a piece of letter in a daze.
After a long time, he showed excitement and joy.
"It's your lord, your lord has finally replied."
No wonder he was so excited.
In fact, in the past few years, Gui Heshu had spent a lot of effort to contact this master who had never seen the dragon.
All ended in vain.
And because of the disappearance of this adult, Gui Heshu lacked confidence, and Mo Haicheng, who was already low-key, became more sharp.
After all, Gui Heshu knew very well that every man was innocent and harbored a jade. Mohai City was like a piece of delicious fat, attracting so many coveted eyes.
