But Chen Ning never thought that Gu Qingze would not have any interest in the improved ten repeating crossbow.
She lowered her head and thought about it. Then she suddenly looked up and said, "I also know of a crossbow blueprint that can shoot fifty arrows at once. It's incomparably powerful, but it's a pity that the blueprint is incomplete and the method to make it has already been lost."
"Five ….. Fifty repeating crossbows?!"
This time Gu Qingze was truly shocked. His eyes opened wide in disbelief as he stared at Chen Ning without blinking.
"There's actually this kind of magical forging technique in this world? I don't believe it. Quickly draw it, quickly draw the blueprint for me to see. "He impatiently urged her.
Ever since Chen Ning met him, this was the first time she had seen him this agitated.
"But master, that blueprint is incomplete. Even if I draw it, I can't make it." She deliberately spread her hands and revealed a helpless expression.
Gu Qingze stared at her, "If I tell you to draw it, then draw it. If you can't make it, then can't your master make it?"
He could not hide the excitement in his voice. His hands on the chair began to heat up and his eyes filled with passion.
Fifty repeating crossbows! This was a fifty repeating crossbow!
Ha, ha, if he could make fifty repeating crossbows, he would step on that person and make him look up to him forever!
Just thinking of this, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
"Alright, then I'll draw it now."
Chen Ning pursed her lips. She picked up the charcoal pen again and began to draw the blueprint.
Although Ma Jun's invention of the method to make fifty repeating crossbows had been lost for a long time, she still remembered a few pages of incomplete blueprints. Thus, she meticulously drew them according to her memory.
Gu Qingze took the blueprint and his face turned serious. He knit his brows and carefully looked at it.
Chen Ning held her breath, not daring to disturb his train of thought.
Because there were too many missing parts of the blueprint, there were many key parts that did not have examples. Wanting to recreate the fifty repeating crossbows with these incomplete blueprints was as hard as ascending to the heavens.
The ten arrows of the zhuge repeating crossbow were too heavy and clumsy, so they could not be used by a single person. These fifty repeating crossbows were five times more than the zhuge repeating crossbow and the weight and volume of the arrow box were also five times larger. Wanting a single person to shoot fifty arrows at once was no different from a fantasy, it was an impossible task.
Gu Qingze quickly realized this point, so his brows knit even tighter. This was a problem he could not solve at all. this was a problem he could not solve.
Even if he could make 50 crossbows according to this incomplete blueprint, it would be like the Zhuge repeating crossbow, flashy but impractical, and unusable!
This was something that a perfect person like him could not accept.
Even if the shaft is made of the lightest material, the arrowheads must be made of iron. If it's the lightest thin-bladed type, then each arrow must weigh at least six taels. It's impossible to reduce the weight any further. If the weight of the arrow box is added … it's impossible for one person to use it. No, I have to think of another way to reduce the weight of the arrows … "
Gu Qingze was thinking while muttering to himself.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling. His mind was filled with ideas, but they were all rejected by him.
"No, this method won't work either. Let me think about it, perhaps this will work? No, it still won't work. "
