All the top craftsmen that Niu Jinda had brought over from the Western Regions were somewhat moved at this time, but there was still a trace of despair in their numb eyes. This was because they knew what kind of result awaited them. No matter what kind of promise was given at this time? Would they live to see the next day?
Algernon was even more clear about this.
As slaves, how could they not know what would happen to them?
Once upon a time, they were top-notch blacksmiths whose names had shaken the region, and they had their own pride.
Although they had been reduced to such a state, they still had their own pride.
Niu Jinda couldn't stand it anymore and was about to get angry, but he was stopped by Zhang Feng.
"Old Niu, don't be anxious. These people are now my people. I have the final say. Can you stand aside first?"
Zhang Feng hurriedly comforted Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong.
Zhang Feng had plenty of methods to make these people obediently submit. To put it bluntly, these people were no different from the mad scientists of the future!
In fact, they had not seen some things. If they knew that he had things that they had never heard of or seen before, would they still be like this?
That would be like seeing a ghost!
Zhang Feng wasn't anxious or angry. He just took out some forging blueprints that he had drawn when he had nothing to do.
These blueprints were very simple, but they were basically plans of roads and roads.
Zhang Feng purposely shook the snow-white blueprint until it made a rustling sound.
As for Algernon and the others, although they didn't say anything, from the way they quieted down and leaned forward slightly, it could be seen that they were carefully observing Zhang Feng's actions. Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong couldn't understand Zhang Feng's actions. They wanted to say something, but after opening their mouths, they didn't say anything. They wanted to see what Zhang Feng was up to.
Zhang Feng opened the blueprints and spread them open. The blueprints were about the size of a table. On them were the blueprints of an improved crossbow, as well as the blueprints of a disassembled crossbow.
These blueprints weren't the ones that everyone knew. They were the ones that had been modernized and improved in the future. They were the type of crossbow that could shoot about 1,000 meters.
When the blueprints were spread out, You Junda and Yuchi Gong were instantly attracted by them, even though they couldn't understand them.
However, they still recognized the body of the crossbow and Jian Xuan. No matter how much this thing was modified, they could still see the outline of the crossbow on the top of the blueprints.
"Fengzi, why does this look different from the crossbows we have seen before?"
Now, he couldn't help but stare at the drawing with his bearded eyes, trying to figure out what it was. However, he could only roughly tell that it looked like a crossbow from its shape.
He really couldn't understand the details of those bits and pieces.
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin also came up and asked at the same time, "Feng Zi, what is this thing of yours? Why does it look a little … "
Their conversation instantly attracted the attention of the guards standing at the side.
Then, everyone started whispering to each other.
They were all soldiers, so they often dealt with bows and arrows. However, when they saw this thing again, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Was this kid trying to make a crossbow?
Zhang Feng smiled. His eyes were fixed on Arjinnong and the others.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Zhang Feng didn't hold back and said loudly, "You have all seen this before, so you should be familiar with it. That's right, it's something that everyone is very familiar with, a crossbow!"
"However, your understanding is a little off. This thing is indeed a crossbow, but a normal crossbow has a shooting range of about 100 to 150 meters. However, according to my requirements and the blueprints, a crossbow made of steel can shoot at least 1,000 meters if it's based on an ordinary person's physical strength and configuration!"
"What? 1,000 meters? How is that possible? "
"Impossible! What in the world can make a crossbow shoot 1,000 meters? This is simply absurd! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
You Junda and Yuchi Gong couldn't help but exclaim. From what they knew, there was nothing that could shoot more than 1,000 meters.
Even that kind of huge crossbow wouldn't be able to shoot that far!
At this moment, the craftsmen from the Western Region couldn't help but become restless.
However, Arjinnong and Cheng Yaojin didn't react at all. It was as if this temptation hadn't reached their limit yet.
Zhang Feng seemed to have expected this.
He glanced at Arjinnong and Cheng Yaojin.
He seemed to be talking to Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong, but rather to Arjinnong and Cheng Yaojin.
"You should have heard of something that I've mentioned before, right?"
Niu Jinda narrowed his eyes, "You're talking about the crossbows made of the same material as the impenetrable shield and the invincible spear?"
"…"
