Shang Xi pointed to a position on the crossbow and said, "This should be the sight, right?"

Wan Lianxing said: "That's Wangshan Mountain."

Shang Xi said: "I don't care if it's a mountain sight or a sight, there should be a scale here."

"Scale?"

Shang Xi said: "There must be a scale here. How can you measure the distance accurately without a scale? How can you adjust the launch angle? You can't do either of these. This thing is not flexible."

Shang Xi patted the crossbow body again and said, "Also, should there be a bronze receiver here? How powerful can your crossbow be?"

This crossbow that made Cheng Feng envious just now and Wan Lianxing was proud of was now said to be worthless by Shang Xi in just two sentences.

After Shang Xi was satisfied, he put the crossbow in his hand on the table, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I won't join in the fun with you anymore, I have to go back to work."

Wan Lengxing said, "Wait a minute."

Shang Xi said: "Don't look for a crossbow for me. I don't want it if you give it to me. Without a sight, I can't aim at all."

Wan Lianxing said: "You have devalued me to the point of being worthless, and you just left like this?"

Shang Xi said: "I'm not talking nonsense. I understand architecture and some mortise and tenon technology. I think your crossbow is just average at a glance. I suggest that your crossbow should be improved."

Cheng Feng said: "You are not so demanding when using a bow and arrow."

Shang Xi thought for a while and said: "Bows and arrows are too simple. The simpler the thing, the harder it is to improve. If the bow and arrow were improved by my hand, you would not be able to hit the target, so I can't shoot the bow and arrow at all." From my personal point of view, this crossbow is different. It still looks a bit fancy, but it’s still the same thing with a little improvement.”

Cheng Feng knew that Shang Xi was losing his temper and was a little bit embarrassed. He insisted on talking about it. Since Wan Lianxing is so quick to talk, Shang Xi may not be his opponent, but it seems that he has already There is nothing that can be done to prevent what is about to happen.

Wan Lengxing said: "Don't go anywhere today, you can engrave the scale on my crossbow right now."

Shang Xi said: "Uncle, do you think it is so easy to mark the scale? I can't shoot the target, can the ruler I drew accurate? If I don't draw the ruler, you can still find the target. If I draw the ruler, you have no direction at all. Yes, this thing needs to be measured repeatedly based on practice.”

Cheng Feng also wanted to make his crossbow more useful. He volunteered and said, "How about you tell me how to engrave it? I'll engrave the scale on my crossbow first. I can shoot accurately, no matter how far or near."

Because Cheng Feng, like Wan Lianxing, was also interested in what Shang Xi said. He wanted to do it himself. He thought it would not be difficult to carve a few graduations. He generally understood the role and use of the graduations Shang Xi mentioned. .

Shang Xi rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng and said, "It's not like you can't shoot accurately. Why are you joining in the fun? You are all magic crossbowmen. You don't need any ruler at all. Just shoot with this."

Shang Xi looked at the two men who were staring at her at the same time, and felt that she might be in trouble. She laughed and said, "It's nothing to do with me, so I'll quit."

Shang Xi was about to turn around and run away when Wan Lengxing called out to her.

"stop."

"What's the matter with uncle?"

"I'll invite a few capable people here, and you can instruct them to make rulers for me."

Shang Xi said: "With my uncle's skills, there is no need for a ruler at all. Uncle, your eyes are the ruler. Things like rulers are only for people like me who have no talent."

Wan Lengxing said, "Don't be poor. There's no point in photographing the horses. Cheng Feng, please accompany Monk Xi. Today I must see the scale on my crossbow."

"Uncle..."

Wan Lengxing said: "This matter is beyond discussion. Who told you to see the shortcomings of my crossbow? Carve a scale and install a bronze receiver as you mentioned."

Shang Xi said: "Uncle, I don't know exactly what the bronze receiver looks like. I only know a little bit."

With a grimace, Shang Xi stretched out her little finger to Wan Lianxing to measure her size.

Wan Lianxing said: "I think you are very knowledgeable. Although I don't know where your knowledge comes from, I think what you just said is right. I'll invite someone. You don't need to do anything. You can express your thoughts and the rest will be done." Just leave it to them, I won't make it difficult for you."

Shang Xi nodded vigorously and said, "It's not difficult, but by the way, make me a handy crossbow."

Wan Lengxing said: "You still don't give up. You are not good at hunting. You really don't have talent. I am the best at judging people."

Shang Xi said: "Let me defend myself at the head office."

Wan Lengxing said: "As long as you can get someone to make the crossbow you mentioned, I can give you a few."

Shang Xi said: "It's settled, I only want one."

Wan Lengxing said: "I always mean what I say."

Wan Lengxing moved quickly, and within an hour, he found several people for Shang Xi.

As soon as Shang Xi told these people, they understood what was going on, and then they started studying in the yard.

Shang Xi took a look at it and thought it was good. It seemed like there weren't many places where she could be used. She could go back to her own courtyard and draw some drawings.

"Uncle, where did you find these talented people?"

Wan Lianxing said: "These are specialized in making weapons. As long as you can tell what you want, they can make it."

Shang Xi said, "Can I do anything?"

Wan Liexing said: "It's too outrageous."

Three days have passed, a light rain has fallen, and there is not even a scale mark on Wan Lengxing's crossbow.

Wan Liexing patiently asked one of the craftsmen: "Why is there no progress?"

The man said: "The ruler that Mr. Hou wants is easy to make, but this bronze receiver is a bit difficult. If we really make this bronze receiver, this crossbow will be incredible. It will be like adding more power to a tiger, and its power will be several times greater than it is now." .”

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he realized that this was really interesting, and he could really install a bronze receiver on the slave.

If the power after this improvement can be increased several times, it would not be an ordinary good thing.

He asked the craftsman: "Is it difficult to install a bronze receiver?"

"It's no easy task," said the craftsman.

"Can it be achieved?"

"Yes, but the Marquis has to wait a little longer and let us think about it again."

Wan Lianxing said: "As long as we can make something like this, it doesn't matter if I wait."

The craftsman said with certainty: "It can be done."

Wan Lianxing couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this time. Shang Xi really didn't lie to him.

At night, Shang Xi was lying on the bed reading a book. Cheng Feng leaned over and read the contents of the book, then took the book away, "What are you reading this book for?"

Shang Xi said: "I want to see if there is any trace of what I said."

Cheng Feng threw the book aside and said, "If there are any traces to follow, my uncle is convinced that he must install a bronze receiver on the crossbow."
