Chapter 434 Zhuge's Divine Crossbow!
In the past, everyone would get up at seven o'clock every morning.
On their way to work, they would chat as they walked.
But now? Everyone gets up an hour earlier.
When going to work, no one spoke at all; everyone was in a hurry, afraid of being late.
"Have Chenlong and the others keep an eye out and see if they can find any rubber trees." Xiao Yu decided that they had to find rubber trees or something else as soon as possible.
He wanted to first manufacture bicycles to temporarily use as a means of transportation.
After lunch, in the office.
"How's the research on the Zhuge Divine Crossbow going?" The two sisters, Aqiu and Dongdong, were fiddling with something when a voice suddenly rang out behind them.
"Ah, Lord City Lord?" A Qiu exclaimed in fright, and Dong Dong's delicate body trembled as well.
"Sorry for scaring you." Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively and leaned closer to look at what the two women were fiddling with.
It was a weapon that, at first glance, was clearly a crossbow.
However, its appearance is vastly different from that of a crossbow.
Traditional crossbows were made of half beast leg bone and half metal.
This way, the weight won't be too heavy, affecting aiming and firing.
However, the crossbow that the two sisters were tinkering with was made entirely of black metal.
It also gleamed with a dark light, giving people a chilling feeling; it was clearly not simple.
However, just by looking at the size of that arm, you can tell it weighs at least over 100 pounds.
Such weight is probably unusable for low-level experts.
"Have you finished it?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"That's right!" Dongdong nodded proudly and said smugly, "My sister is a genius mechanic. Although the design drawings given by the city lord are not yet complete, my sister has already roughly figured out the overall structure."
This crossbow was the design drawing that Xiao Yu had drawn not long ago.
Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
This is the weapon from that fantasy floor tile book.
I must say, even though it's floor tiles...
However, the design concepts of the various hidden weapons in it are still worth learning from.
After all, the combat power of the world Xiao Yu lived in wasn't necessarily that high.
However, Xiao Yu had never actually seen the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, only knowing a general concept about it.
This design drawing, lacking details about the internal structure, is naturally very rough.
"let me see."
Xiao Yu took the model from A Qiu and examined it carefully.
Judging by its appearance alone, it looks similar to the Zhuge Crossbow in the floor tiles.
It looks like an enlarged version of a revolver.
However, the magazine for storing bullets was replaced by a quiver.
Just like the Zhuge Crossbow in Xiao Yu's memory, it was loaded with six bolts.
As for the internal structure, Xiao Yu was unaware of it.
Based on my own research on the mechanism, I can only make a simple design.
Then, A-Qiu made further optimizations and improvements.
Xiao Yu played with it for a while, then pulled the trigger and fired a shot at the target in the studio.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six arrows hit the bullseye precisely 100 meters away.
"Six arrows fired in quick succession, yet their power is no less than that of a crossbow."
After examining the arrows on the target, Xiao Yu was slightly surprised.
It's important to know that the studio's targets are made of the hide of a fifth-tier ferocious beast, making them extremely defensive.
Ordinary arrows cannot even pierce the skin when they hit it.
Only crossbow bolts produced in Dragon City can penetrate 3-5cm.
But A Qiu created the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
With six arrows fired in unison, the power of all six arrows reaches 3cm!
That's pretty impressive!
A Qiu smiled shyly and said modestly, "This Zhuge Divine Crossbow has only just been manufactured. It is very expensive, too heavy, and its accuracy is not as good as that of the Strong Crossbow. It still needs further improvement."
She definitely wouldn't have been able to create such a powerful weapon before.
Now, Lord City Lord has completely broken through the first five mechanisms.
It was only with the city lord's design concept that she was able to combine the fifth mechanism to create the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
"No rush! You've already done a great job!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and patted the short-haired girl's shoulder, encouraging her, "Take it one step at a time. The first generation was the hardest. You've already successfully designed the first generation; the second and third generations will be here soon."
Moreover, this weapon is not a standard issue weapon; it is only supplied to a small number of middle and high-ranking officials.
The high cost is due to the fact that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow has hundreds of parts of various sizes, each made of black iron that has been forged and tempered to become indestructible. It is not only extremely complicated but also very heavy.
Such weight requires an arm strength of at least several thousand kilograms to use.
People below the fifth rank cannot use it at all!
However, Xiao Yu thought that such high-end weapons should be used by the middle and high-level officials.
Then install a self-destruct device inside.
Even if it is stolen, it can be destroyed as soon as it is dismantled.
Ding!
At that moment, a notification sound rang out.
It's the voice of Aqing, the plant girl.
Xiao Yu connected his mind and immediately heard A Qing's voice: "Lord City Lord, I think I've found the rubber tree you wanted. It's the kind of tree that oozes white sap when you cut it, right?"
"Hahaha...that's right! It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy!"
Upon hearing Ah Qing's words, Xiao Yu was certain that it was the rubber tree he was looking for.
A moment later, Xiao Yu appeared in a grove of trees.
"Lord City Lord!" Chen Long and the others saluted immediately upon seeing Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu immediately spotted a grove of trees, containing hundreds of trees.
Any one of them is over a hundred meters tall, with a grayish trunk, palmate compound leaves, and elliptical leaflets.
Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with excitement: "It really is a rubber tree!"
This large grove of rubber trees is several times taller and stronger than rubber trees on Earth.
With these rubber trees, a large amount of rubber can be produced.
The problem with the bicycle tires can finally be solved.
Thinking of this, he looked at Aqing curiously and asked, "How did you find out?"
"Hehe." Ah Qing chuckled before saying, "After my breakthrough last night..."
Last night, when Xiao Yu evolved the Glowing Tree, it emitted a light of life.
This allowed the plant-like girl, Aqing, to completely break through and reach the fourth level.
Then, she felt that her abilities seemed to have become much stronger.
Just then, this morning she heard that Chenlong and the others were going out to find a plant called a rubber tree. The plant girl thought that since she had the ability to communicate with plants, she came along.
Unexpectedly, she found it easily by simply communicating with a few trees.
"Good job!"
Xiao Yu patted the plant girl on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Aqing, do you know how much you've done? I can reward you with 10,000 merit points, or I can grant you one wish. Tell me what you want?"
"What?" Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this.
The highest-paid members of the city defense army are the top leaders, such as Chenlong and Heima.
Their monthly salary, excluding hunting and benefits, is only around one thousand.
The plant-loving girl, Aqing, also gaped in disbelief.
Ten thousand merits are equivalent to two years' salary for her!
