"I hope she can."
Hearing Gongshu Jiruo say this, Hou Feiqing felt doubly sad and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, meaning - the path of brotherhood is very bumpy, and I really don't know how to comfort you.
However... Gongshu Jiruo was too tall, and Hou Feiqing could not "climb" up at all, so he could only "snap" his arm casually a few times.
"Brother, I understand. She can only lose to you and lose to others. You are unwilling, unwilling, and worried about it, right?"
Gongshu avoided him as if he was disgusted, and did not let him get too close to him. Seeing the strange and pitiful look in his eyes, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hou Feiqing, I'm afraid that the Julu Kingdom has also obtained the Cangxuan Order belonging to the Nanchen Kingdom. The Ye Kingdom has two, and the Julu Kingdom also has two. You are the only one who waits for everything, and is too slow to do anything. First step, I don’t think you look like a loser. It can’t be because of your short legs, right?”
Hou Feiqing's face suddenly changed. He tried hard to straighten his hunched back, stretched out his slender arms, and bared his teeth angrily: "Expose others but don't reveal their shortcomings. If the public loses, just watch it. Lao Hou, I will go and capture it immediately." Xize comes back to show you."
No wonder others call Hou Feiqing the "White Ape". Once his prototype is revealed, his teeth and claws are indeed similar to the movements of an ape.
Gongshu Jiruo withdrew his sneer: "It's not easy to capture Xize Kingdom."
Hou Feiqing was full of confidence: "In the past, it may have taken some twists and turns, but this time our Beiyuan Army has you. The Steel Halberd Team has been cultivated and formed by everyone in Gongshu. With such an indestructible army, we must Why is it so difficult to win?”
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. I think General Hou must have heard this."
"I, Lao Hou, don't have those bad habits." Hou Feiqing looked at the public loser, with white eyebrows and white beard, but his facial features did not show signs of aging. Instead, he was like a tiger and wolf in his prime, seizing the day and night: "The knife in my hand can cut. I know in my heart what kind of people I will kill, arrogant soldiers? No, it’s my prime years in Beiyuan, the country is strong and the army is prosperous, I have my own pride."
When Gongshu Jiruo heard this, his eyes as cold as snow and glass showed a bit of satisfaction. Then he picked up the teapot from the table, took a new cup, and poured a cup of tea with clear blue water and less than eight minutes full.
"Then if you are here, I would like to congratulate General Hou in advance on his victory and his return with the order."
He only poured tea but did not serve it. He turned around and left the main army's tent. His blue clothes were as light as feathers and as calm as the smoke in the lake. When he lifted the curtain and walked out, the slanting wind blew through his hair, as if The light smoke and the moon make the scenery even more beautiful.
A trace of confusion flashed across Hou Feiqing's expression.
Whenever he thought of such a charming person struggling to pursue a widow, he felt pity, but at the same time he didn't understand how high-minded Zheng Quchi must be to look down on his brother. A handful of men?
Sure enough, he was blind.
——
Zheng Quchi, who had been blinded by the slander, was currently comparing the differences between his own trebuchet and others.
There's a saying, oh, she remembered it. It doesn't matter whether a bitch is an ugly dog or a poor family, but there are really technical barriers between their trebuchet and other people's trebuchets.
Their Ye country's trebuchet is the most basic type. It consists of a gun mount, a gun shaft, a gun tip, a magazine and a gun rope. The use process is very primitive. The gunner pulls the gun rope, and then pulls the gun tip to hoist the shell. The stones in the pocket, which are the cannon stones, are finally thrown out.
But this ordinary trebuchet, which is not grand, requires more than a dozen people to operate it together.
But look at other people's trebuchets. Although they are both called trebuchets and have the same name, their functions are several levels different.
Not only is it much more complex in structure, it also doubles the power of throwing stones and reduces the manpower.
Unlike their principle of using pure manpower to create leverage, they use elastic projectiles.
Its fulcrum gun axis, after technical improvements, can be flexibly rotated and is no longer fixed in one direction, or requires many people to move the chassis for adjustment.
And its cannon rope turned into a lion's head carved from a boulder, which was extremely heavy. Instead of the human-pulled ejection, it used a rope joystick to carry out the project. Press the tilted joystick and turn the rope to lift the cannon tip. Pull it down, then lower it at the end, like a seesaw, one heavy and then light, throwing the object.
The operation of other people's catapults is simple and convenient, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It only requires one strong person to press the rod, and two strong people take turns to release the stones, and a set of processes can be completed.
Zheng Quchi had already dismantled a catapult from Nanchen Kingdom and his own catapult. The parts scattered on the ground looked messy. Of course, this was for others to see.
"It just doesn't work, does it?"
When Liu Chaiji saw Zheng Quchi standing there thinking for a long time without taking the next step, he felt that he had understood her embarrassing situation.
When Zheng Quchi heard this, he indeed said with a sad look on his face: "Yes, time is limited. The best I can do is to modify several serial projectors before the next wave of enemy attacks. What will I do with the remaining ones?"
Liu Chaiji's eyes widened: "Huh?"
What is she talking about, what kind of company, what kind of continuous shooting machine is it?
"Come here, you are strong. You will stand here and help me move the wooden parts in a moment. Do you understand?"
Seeing her serious state as she began to work with her sleeves rolled up, Liu Chaiji, who originally claimed that he was very busy, swallowed his words silently: "Oh."
Is she really good?
You're not playing, are you?
Liu Chaiji followed slowly and reluctantly.
Zheng Quchi moved the temporary carpentry workbench. As a professional civil engineer and part-time carpenter, she naturally carried various tools with her. She instructed Liu Chaiji to carry the wood and began to modify and reposition them. Drilling, cutting and splicing grooving...
She doesn't seem to be playing.
Her movements are familiar and precise, positioning, cutting, and polishing. Her craftsmanship is as precise and exquisite as a measuring stick. The wooden sticks are flying all over the sky, and her hands, eyes, heart, and spirit are all focused.
When these dismantled wooden parts began to be reshaped and transformed by Zheng Quchi, and turned into a piece that had the original outline but took on a brand new form, Liu Chaiji was simply stunned.
Although I didn't understand it, I didn't know how serious it was.
He couldn't help but ask: "This, this is the serial killing machine you want to make?"
"Serial trebuchet, yes. Although the trebuchets of Nanchen State are much more powerful than those of our Ye State, for me, there is still a lot of room for progress. For example, their efficiency of throwing one stone at a time is too slow. If If I can throw several shots in a row without stopping, wouldn't that be equivalent to hitting several trebuchets?"
Just like a pea shooter, you shoot zombies with pea bullets one by one. If you encounter a high-level zombie wearing protective gear, you can't kill it at all. But if you upgrade it to the power of spraying several pea bullets at a time, you can destroy it before it gets close. If A shoots him to death, he won't be afraid of having his brain eaten by zombies.
"If the conditions in the camp were not limited and the tools and materials could only be disassembled, I could make a dozen fire snakes in one go and eject them in succession. As you can see, this device does not have any shortcomings. It’s called a serial firing device, and with it, the cannonballs can be thrown five times in a row.”
After Liu Chaiji listened to her talk for a long time, he finally understood the meaning of her words only by catching the key words of the language.
"This, after this is done, can the cannonball be thrown five times in a row?!" (End of this chapter)
