Chapter 363 Imitation Crossbow Arrows, Three-Dimensional Defense
Zhao Ya sat cross-legged, trying to control the Blue Dragon True Power and the Swallowing Star True Power in his body, trying to slowly merge them into one.
But soon, this attempt failed again.
In desperation, Zhao Ya had to open his eyes.
Things were much more difficult than he expected. Just now, he had tried no less than dozens of times, and the results were all failed without exception.
Although the two are inseparable, at every critical moment, there will be an invisible repulsive force to separate them.
This is like an onion, although it is closely connected, there is an invisible membrane separating them.
It seems that what Guo Luming said is true. The Blue Dragon True Power and the Swallowing Star True Power are two completely different true powers. It is extremely difficult to merge them together.
Zhao Ya sighed and was about to get up. At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then he saw Gui Xuanqing running in with an excited face.
"Brother, it's done, it's done!"
"What's done?" Zhao Ya was still a little puzzled.
Then, Gui Xuanqing excitedly took out an arrow from his bosom, "Our crossbow arrows have been successfully copied."
"Oh?" Zhao Ya was stunned when he heard it, and then he reached out to take the arrow from Gui Xuanqing's hand and looked at it carefully.
Previously, Canglong Temple seized many mechanical crossbows from the killers in Libielou.
This thing not only has a long range, but also has great lethality, and the key is that the sound is very small. It can be said to be a must-have for sneak attacks, assassinations, and home defense.
The only drawback is that the seized crossbow arrows are too few and not enough to use.
In addition to the consumption of the previous war, although most of the crossbow arrows were found, there are still many that are damaged and can no longer be used.
This resulted in Canglong Temple having artifacts but unable to use them freely.
For this reason, Zhao Ya was at a loss.
Because this mechanical crossbow and crossbow arrows are all from the hands of the Mechanical Sect, if you want to buy crossbow arrows, you can only go to the Mechanical Sect.
But in recent years, the Mechanical Sect has become more and more mysterious, and its descendants rarely enter the world, which makes it extremely difficult to find them.
Even if he was lucky enough to come across it, he might not be able to buy the matching crossbow arrows.
In desperation, Zhao Ya had to let Gui Xuanqing and others figure out how to copy it.
But they all failed.
Because the crossbow arrows used in the mechanical crossbows are specially made and the processing level is extremely high.
Because only in this way can the crossbow arrows not deviate from the trajectory during long-distance attacks and ensure the hit rate.
But this also makes it very difficult to copy.
Because with the existing conditions of Canglong Temple, it is almost impossible to achieve a very small error during processing.
So Zhao Ya gave up later.
Unexpectedly, Gui Xuanqing suddenly gave him a surprise today.
Looking at the arrow in his hand, which is streamlined as a whole and the arrowhead is emitting a cold and cold light, Zhao Ya couldn't help but be moved.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the arrow body. The place where he touched was smooth and flat, especially the three-edged arrowhead, which was extremely regular.
At least Zhao Ya couldn't see any error with his eyes.
"Have you tested it?"
"It has been tested. It is almost the same as the original crossbow at a distance of 100 steps. Only at a super long distance of more than 200 steps will there be a slight deviation." Gui Xuanqing said excitedly.
Zhao Ya was even more surprised.
Because this result can no longer be described as excellent, it is simply explosive.
But it was clear that it could not even imitate the most basic shape and quality before.
"How did you do it?"
"Hehe, it's a long story to talk about this. Brother, you should come with me and you will 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.
When he arrived here, he saw that many people had gathered here.
Most of them were the group of people who were assigned to use the mechanical crossbow in the previous war.
At this time, their faces were also full of excitement, and they were talking around a person.
When Zhao Ya arrived, the crowd automatically separated.
Then Zhao Ya saw a strange machine.
This thing looks like an oversized spinning wheel, but it is much more complicated than that.
And there is another person in front of the machine who is operating it skillfully.
"Jin Fu?" Zhao Ya's face was full of surprise.
That's right.
The person who is operating the machine and processing arrows is none other than Jin Fu, the outer sect disciple summoned by Zhao Ya himself.
Because of the coming of the war and the influence of closing the mountain and closing the gates, the outer sect at the foot of the mountain has been temporarily abandoned, and the disciples inside have also moved to the temple.
Zhao Ya naturally has no time and energy to teach them now.
Fortunately, the appearance of Canglong Temple has been completely renewed, and those elders who pass on the skills have also changed their minds and become new people.
So Zhao Ya threw them into the teaching hall, including Jin Fu.
But because of the complexity of things, Zhao Ya didn't pay much attention to them. Unexpectedly, he came to the shooting range in the back mountain and started working on arrow processing.
"How is it, senior brother, is it shocking?" Gui Xuanqing asked with a proud face.
"Who made this thing?" Zhao Ya asked in great surprise, looking at the big thing in front of him, which was ugly but had many principles similar to those of a processing machine.
"Of course, it was made by the joint efforts of all of us," said Gui Xuanqing.
"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. Come on mechanically.”
"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 really a rare talent. He is particularly capable of handling this machine. He is the most proficient in 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 distract himself, 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.
And 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 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 reward based on merit."
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 principles and structure, you can dismantle the severely damaged machine crossbows to make parts, and then repair the crossbow machines with hidden problems." 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 focus on research. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time." Zhao Ya gave his final instructions and then left.
As soon as he left, these people gathered together and chattered non-stop.
"Brother Zhao actually came in person. We are really showing off this time."
"Yes, who would have thought that Brother Zhao would come in person."
Zhao Ya is now a legendary existence in the eyes of these young disciples of Canglong Temple.
Especially the last time Zhao Ya turned the tide, led the blue dragon into his body, and killed Jing Pingsheng, it was like a legend that kept spreading among these young disciples.
Therefore, when they saw Zhao Ya coming in person, you can imagine how excited these people were.
Jin Fu was also very excited at this time.
Jin Fu was full of gratitude to Zhao Ya for recruiting him into Canglong Temple and cultivating and supporting him in all aspects.
So when he heard Gui Xuanqing say that Zhao Ya was also worried about the processing of crossbows, he immediately made a decision.
Even if he racked his brains, he had to help Zhao Ya solve this worry.
Jin Fu had strong hands-on ability since he was a child, and with Gui Xuanqing's ingenious ideas, this seemingly impossible task was really accomplished by the two of them.
Soon, everyone's rewards came down.
Among them, the generous rewards received by Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu simply made everyone stunned.
Jin Fu was even more terrified, thinking that he had only done a little insignificant thing, why did it come to this.
Later, Zhao Ya personally comforted him and explained the importance of his work, which dispelled his doubts.
Although the problem of the mechanical crossbow has not been solved for the time being, with the supply of sufficient crossbows, the defense capability of Canglong Temple has reached a new level.
In every corner, Zhao Ya has set up points, and these crossbow-armed team members will squat on them.
These points intersect with each other, almost covering all the blind spots of Canglong Temple.
A 360-degree, three-dimensional defense system has taken shape.
It's not that Zhao Ya is too cautious, it's just that after the mountain is closed, it's inevitable that there will be people with bad intentions coming to test.
So we have to work hard on defense.
At the same time, in Mohai City, Gui Heshu was staring at a piece of letter.
After a long time, he showed excitement and joy.
"Yes, sir, the sir finally replied."
No wonder he was so excited.
In fact, in the past few years, Gui Heshu has spent a lot of effort to contact this elusive sir.
In the end, all failed.
Because of the disappearance of this sir, Gui Heshu was a little lacking in confidence, and the already low-key Mohai City became even more low-key.
After all, Gui Heshu knew that a man was innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Mohai City was like a piece of delicious fat meat, attracting countless covetous eyes.
