The strongest engineering student in ancient times

Chapter 46 Is there a pie in the sky? !

How strong is this bow and crossbow? It even killed the tiger with one arrow! !

Sun Dazhu hugged the tree trunk and looked at his son in shock. If it wasn't for the fresh corpse of the tiger on the ground, how could he believe that his son was so brave and killed the tiger with one arrow!

After jumping off the tree, Sun Dashi couldn't help sighing:

"Brother, Yangzi is really talented. It hasn't been long since he used this bow and crossbow, and he has already reached the point of perfection. As expected, the blue is better than the blue, which is much better than you at the beginning."

Sun Dazhu had just experienced life and death, and now he suddenly learned of his son's bravery. Under such great joy and sorrow, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes. After getting off the tree, he said to his grandson:

"I have no regrets seeing my son grow up."

Sun Ziyang was very embarrassed. He really wanted to say that his standard was the eyes, but he missed the shot because of a shaking of his hand, but who knew that the shot missed and killed the tiger instead.

Sun Ziyang said with some embarrassment:

"It's not that I'm good, it's this crossbow. I didn't expect it to kill the big bug."

After seeing that they were safe, everyone descended from the tree one after another. After hearing Sun Ziyang's words, they couldn't bear the curiosity in their hearts anymore, and hurriedly asked:

"Where did you buy this crossbow, can you give me a try?"

"I didn't expect this strange-looking crossbow to be so powerful that it can even kill big bugs. I want to buy one."

"I also thought, why don't we buy a pair of self-defense when we get to the place?"

They were not very interested in bows and crossbows at first, but after seeing Sun Dashi save Sun Dazhu with a bow and crossbow, and seeing Sun Ziyang shoot the tiger to death with an arrow, they longed to buy one as soon as possible. Now they finally know this The magic of the crossbow.

In other words, even if they used bows and arrows, they would not dare to shoot casually, because they could shoot people to death if they were not careful, but they had heard Sun Dashi say that the bow and crossbow had hit every shot before, and they didn't believe it at first, but now they are convinced Undoubtedly, if it weren't for believing in the power of this crossbow, how could Sun Dashi dare to point the crossbow in his brother's direction.

Everyone surrounded Sun Dashi and Sun Ziyang, and even Sun Dazhu immediately pulled out his idle bow and crossbow, and asked Sun Ziyang to teach him how to use it.

Seeing that they all liked it, Sun Dashi suddenly thought of something, so he said to them:

"I bought this in Xishui Town, but I don't know if I can still meet the brother who sells bows and crossbows. How about it, when my eldest brother and I go to Xishui Town next month, I will help you take a look. If there is any In other words, how about 11 taels of silver for each of you? You also know that I need a handful of [-] taels of silver to buy it.”

These merchants earn only the price difference, but this bow and crossbow is different, whether it is Sun Dashi or others, they have never heard of this kind of crossbow with perfect shooting before. Sun Dashi boldly guessed that except in Xishui Town, I am afraid There is no such thing as a bow and crossbow in other places.

When he goes to Shuidong County and other places, he can investigate first. If there is really no one, with the magic of the bow and crossbow, he will definitely sell it! !

The merchants traveling together all have their own fixed routes. They will not go to places like Xishui Town just to save a tael of silver. East County Transactions.

Each of the ten or so people in the company wanted one pair, and some even wanted two or three pairs. They said they bought them back for their other brothers to use. After calculating, they asked for fifteen pairs in total. He could earn 15 taels of silver by reselling them. , and this is only because there are few people in the same industry. If there are more people, wouldn't it be possible to sell more! !

Sun Dashi immediately decided to go to Qi Yibai the next time he went to Xishui Town. He would order at least twenty or thirty pairs of bows and crossbows. He could also try to see how many people were interested in crossbows along the way. If there are more people who want to buy, more crossbows can be ordered.

……

Qi Yibai didn't know that there would be a large number of orders coming soon, and he was still struggling with the money.

Because after he gave the house design drawings to Zhao Yunfan, that is, the leader of the construction team who helped him build the house, he felt that it was a bit complicated. Although it could be built, it was very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It would take at least half a year to complete it. It is impossible to build after winter, and it will definitely not be completed before winter, unless more people are called to help him build it before winter, but in this case, it will cost more money.

The point is not this, but those flat foundation stones are the most expensive, much more expensive than blue bricks, originally used to pave the town or lay the foundation for the city wall, but now they are used to build courtyard walls , Zhao Yunfan thought Qi Yibai would be too extravagant?

According to Qi Yibai's request to build it, it would cost at least 200 taels of silver, which is not affordable by a brother, and he is still a brother in the village, even a family in the town, and it only costs 200 taels to build a house Or so, but they built a house with two entrances and three entrances. Generally, houses in the village can see a courtyard with a three-bedroom hall.

When Qi Yibai heard that 200 taels of silver was required, he actually felt that he could afford it, but in this way, all the money earned during this period would be contributed to the construction of the house, and the AK series he wanted to buy had to be paid for. pushed back.

After struggling for a while, Qi Yibai simply agreed and let Zhao Yunfan let go. The only requirement is to do it well before winter. Sometimes, they can reach the depth of the thigh, not to mention other things, it is almost impossible to go to the town, at most they can only nest in the village until the spring of the next year.

Qi Yibai didn't want to spend the whole winter in the town.

However, when Zhao Sanhu and Aunt Zhao knew that Qi Yibai would spend 200 taels of silver to build a house, they almost thought that the relatives of Aunt Zhao's family had tricked Qi Yibai and were planning to settle the score with Zhao Yunfan. After the request for a house was weird, I realized that Zhao Yunfan was almost mistaken.

After thinking about it, Aunt Zhao persuaded Qi Yibai not to build such a strange house, just an ordinary one, and it is better to keep the money for self-defense.

But Qi Yibai told Uncle Zhao to make fifty crossbow parts within five days, and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao stopped talking at all.

They suddenly realized that Brother Bai's earning ability is much better than his spending! !

It's only been a few days, and there's another order for fifty bows and crossbows!

With this speed of making money, even if they lose money, they can make it back, so they let Qi Yibai let Zhao Yunfan build the house with weird requirements.

However, after Zhao Sanhu calmed down here, the whole village had exploded.

Because the paperwork for breaking off relatives has been completed at this moment, the village head Zhao Hongxing asked Wang Guihua to tell the villagers about it. Spend 200 taels of silver to build a house! !

"200 taels to build a dilapidated house?! Brother Bai, he's crazy!!"

"No, Brother Bai doesn't have so much money to build a house. Didn't he just break up with Qi Fugui's family?"

"Oh, I don't know this. Why don't you remember the young master Qiu in the town? Back then we all saw him hand out 30 taels to Brother Bai. Who knows how much Young Master Qiu gave to Brother Bai secretly? .”

It was Aunt Wang who said this, her eyes were red with jealousy, why did Qi Yibai go with Qiu Ziyue, her daughter Lingzhi is obviously much more tender than Qi Yibai! !

"Regardless of whether it was given by Young Master Qiu or not, it is because Brother Bai has the ability, even Young Master Qiu can take advantage of it. I think Qi Fugui's family is green when they hear that Brother Bai has so much money now. gone."

In the green brick and tile courtyard of the Qi family.

What the villagers said was right, at the moment Li Xiu'e was yelling at Qi Fugui:

"You are so stupid, you were deceived by Brother Bai, and he secretly hid so much money, no wonder that day he was determined to break off the relationship, this is the good brother you gave birth to, no, even if you break off the relationship It's also his father, you go to him and ask for money. Two days ago, people from the town said they want us to move out. If there is no money to redeem the deed after two days, we will move back to that old crappy house. !! When Qiuyue Niang's little hoof comes back, and see if I don't break her leg, she actually used my house deed and land deed to redeem the big treasure and the second treasure!"

Li Xiu'e panicked when she thought of the vicious strong men who came to chase people away a few days ago. She was already in a hurry, but when she heard that Qi Yibai could spend 200 taels of silver to build a house, she was almost furious. I was in a hurry.

However, praying for wealth and being scolded is always silent, and it is annoying to watch.

She felt more and more that Qi Yibai was the disaster star of the Qi family, she thought about it and asked Qi Huajiao:

"Hua Jiao, why hasn't your second brother come back yet? I asked you to look for him in the academy. Did you find him?"

Qi Hua huddled in her room coquettishly, and answered after a while:

"Second brother said he would be back today."

Just as Li Xiu'e was about to curse, she heard Qi Youxue's voice from the door:

"Mom, we're back."

Li Xiu'e and Qi Fugui looked at the door, and saw Qi Youxue holding Dabao in one hand and Qiuyueniang in the other, and Qiuyueniang also holding Erbao.

Qiu Yueniang looked a little cold, and called Qi Fugui and Li Xiu'e to their parents.

But when Li Xiu'e saw Qiu Yueniang, she stood up and cursed:

"How dare you come back, you bastard, hurry up and get my fire stick, if you don't break your leg today, you dare to kill us in the future!"

Qi Youxue saw that Qiu Yueniang's face was even colder, so he hurriedly said to Li Xiu'e:

"Mother, what are you talking nonsense about? How could Yueniang do such a thing? Yueniang is tired from the journey with the child, go back to the room and rest first."

Li Xiu'e was very angry, and complained:

"Er'er, you don't know what she did, she took the family..."

"Mother, I know all this. I think Yueniang is doing the right thing. These external things are not as important as Dabao and Erbao. Okay, mother, let Yueniang go to rest first. I have something to tell you."

Qi Youxue signaled Qiu Yueniang to go back first with the big and second treasures who had lost a lot of weight.

After Qiu Yueniang left, Qi Youxue hurriedly said:

"Mother, do you know that big brother is going to give it away!! The bows and crossbows he made are very popular in the academy, and they can be sold for ten taels of silver. Now there are twenty or thirty bows and crossbows in the academy, which means that big brother has at least Earned two or three hundred silver!!"

Li Xiu'e was shocked and said:

"What bow and crossbow? What two 300 taels of silver?! What kind of crossbow did he earn 200 taels of silver?!"

Qi Youxue hurriedly explained to Li Xiu'e that the crossbow was the bow that Qi Yibai shot and injured her. Li Xiu'e said in surprise:

"That damned thing can sell for ten taels of silver? No wonder he has so much money to build a house! The disaster star is indeed a white-eyed wolf, and he should be punished by heaven!"

Qi Youxue saw that Li Xiu'e scolded fiercely, but didn't say that he was going to ask for money at all, so he was very puzzled. Didn't his mother go to his elder brother to get the money early on weekdays?

He couldn't help hinting:

"Mother, what kind of house does the eldest brother want to build? He will spend all his money, right? Mother, why don't you care about it? That's 300 taels of silver!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu'e felt that she was almost out of breath, and she said angrily:

"Whatever, I don't have the right to care about him now, and don't call him big brother, he broke up with us a few days ago, and now even the divorce papers have come down! That white-eyed wolf can make money With so much money, they have been hiding it all the time, deliberately breaking off the marriage before we know it!!"

"Break, cut off?! Mother, what do you mean by that, we broke off with big brother and the others? Are you stupid, how can you break off with big brother!!"

He came back this time, besides wanting his mother to take all of Qi Yibai's money, there was another reason, that is, he wanted to ask Qi Yibai for a bow and crossbow. And proudly, he even bragged that the crossbow was made by his brother, and this time he came back to bring one, but now he is told that Qi Yibai and Qi Yibai have broken off at home?

How could his father be so confused! !

However, no matter how much they regret it, it's useless, Qi Yibai has nothing to do with them.

Five days flew by.

Qi Yibai rented a carriage and went to the county town with his crossbow and bicycle, after all, it was not easy to get four new bicycles.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, he found that there were many familiar faces waiting at the gate of the city. Except for Gu Chenghu, almost all the people who had learned bicycles and wanted bows and crossbows were there.

As soon as Gu Chenghu saw Qi Yibai, he quickly explained the purpose of his visit, saying that their bodyguard bureau wanted to order twenty sets of bows and crossbows, and others who were waiting for bows and crossbows and bicycles also rushed to buy them.

However, in less than half an hour, not only the crossbows and bicycles were sold out, but also more than 30 orders for crossbows were placed again.

Qi Yibai didn't expect it to be so popular. After everyone left, Xiao Yunuan brought the yamen servants forward. Qi Yibai gave Xiao Yunuan the last new bicycle that he was desperately guarding.

After Xiao Yunuan asked the yamen servant to pay the money, she explained her intentions:

"I came to you today to ask if you have a way to make a crossbow with greater range and power? Well, it's for the barracks..."

Qi Yibai was naturally able to do it, but to his surprise, what did Xiao Yunuan mean to order military crossbows?

When he made the crossbow before, he thought that one day he could push it to the barracks, but he didn't expect the opportunity to appear so unexpectedly!

Qi Yibai immediately said seriously to her:

"Of course I can. Not only can I make military single-shot crossbows, multi-shot crossbows, and eight-ox crossbows for siege and defense, the range can reach up to four or five hundred feet!!"

Xiao Yunuan didn't quite understand the meaning of Qi Yibai's words at all, but she heard the last sentence, the range can reach four or five hundred feet, what kind of concept is this! !

I'm afraid it's a distance that she can't see with the naked eye! !

The bow and crossbow that Qi Yibai said sounded very powerful, Xiao Yunuan was also tangled up, she hesitated for a moment, then quietly said to Qi Yibai:

"It's like this. My father said that during this period of time, bandits may come to our Shuixi County. I don't know if the early spring will come suddenly in Xita, so my father would like to ask what kind of crossbow you said can effectively resist it. Those enemy troops?"

Qi Yibai was astonished when he heard the words, could it be that there is really going to be a war here?

Then he has to equip himself even more!

Qi Yibai settled down, and said with experience:

"Single-shot crossbows are more powerful than continuous crossbows, but continuous crossbows can fire ten arrows in a row, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If it is used for defending and attacking the city, it is best to have eight-bolt crossbows. Single-shot crossbows are also possible, but if you are dealing with flow Bandits, the crossbow is more effective in close combat."

Qi Yibai's explanation made Xiao Yunuan even more confused about what kind of crossbow her father wanted.

Xiao Yunuan hesitated for a while and said simply:

"How about you follow me to meet my father and see what he wants?"

Qi Yibai also felt that if there was going to be a fight, it would be no small matter, so he nodded and agreed.

He went to Xiao's mansion, and when County Magistrate Xiao came back, he met him.

County magistrate Xiao was shocked when he learned that the various crossbows that Qi Yibai was talking about were for public use, and even subconsciously ignored the fact that Qi Yibai was his brother.

If he was the prefect, he would definitely pre-order all kinds of crossbows with a wave of his hand, but how could he have so much money in his hand.

County magistrate Xiao thought for a moment, then said:

"We only have a thousand soldiers in Shuixi City. If we want to defend Shuixi City, there are four gates in total. How many crossbows will we need?"

As for the military crossbow and the continuous crossbow, he has already decided to order [-] pairs each! !

Qi Yibai made some calculations and said:

"It's better to put three to four on each city wall to be safer..."

County magistrate Xiao always felt that the price should not be low, so he hesitated and asked:

"Then if I want to order three hundred pairs of military crossbows and continuous crossbows each, and twelve pairs of eight-ox crossbows, how much money will I need in total?"

So many crossbows are needed!

After Qi Yibai was excited for a moment, he was suddenly embarrassed. He could design it, but could Uncle Zhao make such a crossbow and arrows by himself?

Qi Yibai asked tentatively:

"When do you want these, my lord?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better, I think the bandits are likely to come to Shuixi County this year, and it is estimated that they will come in less than a month..."

Qi Yibai felt helpless immediately, Uncle Zhao would definitely not be able to make so many bows and crossbows within a month.

It's a pity, if the bow and crossbow can be made by the system like a bicycle... Wait, the system forging room doesn't seem to say that it can only make bicycles, right? !

If he had prepared all the blueprints and materials, would the forging room be able to make bows and crossbows? !

Thinking of this, Qi Yibai couldn't hold back, and asked the system in his mind:

[Mr. System, can bows and crossbows be made in the forging room? 】

[Mr. Host, as long as the materials and drawings are complete, the forging room can forge everything you want. 】

Hearing this answer, Qi Yibai's eyes widened suddenly. This answer is too heaven-defying. Does this mean that if he can design all the tanks, the forging room can make tanks for him? ! !

Qi Yibai took a deep breath, he could almost predict that if he was more powerful and could design an atomic bomb, wouldn't he be able to directly destroy the entire world?

[Beep beep!Alert alert!The host has very dangerous destructive emotions, please adjust immediately! 】

Qi Yibai: "..."

He was just thinking about it randomly... and he didn't really want to do it. After all, he didn't have the ability to design an atomic bomb...

"Little brother, are you... all right? Don't worry, we will try our best to protect the people from the bandits."

County magistrate Xiao and Xiao Yunuan saw that Qi Yibai didn't know what was going on just now, his face changed and he didn't speak. They wondered if Qi Yibai was frightened by the bandits?

Qi Yibai regained his composure and said in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry I was distracted just now. I should be able to finish the bow and crossbow within a month, but I have to go back and ask them about their progress. After all, there are so many bows and crossbows. I definitely can't make them by myself."

Seeing this, County Magistrate Xiao smiled and said:

"It should be, but in terms of price..."

These bows and crossbows were used to defend the city, so Qi Yibai naturally wouldn't want that much in terms of price, he didn't expect that the city gates would be breached by then!

He made a rough estimate and said:

"If it is used in the barracks, the single-shot crossbow with greater power and longer range should cost 13 taels of silver, but I will count it as 11 taels of silver for you. As for the cost of the continuous crossbow at 100 taels, I will count it as 600 taels of silver." , As for the complex structure of the eight ox crossbows, at least 660 taels are required, and the total is 940 taels. If you can solve the arrow part by yourself, I will subtract one tael of silver for each bow and crossbow. The arrows of the crossbow can reduce five taels of silver, so if calculated in this way, a total of 900 taels of silver can be saved, then only five thousand nine hundred and forty taels will be needed, so five thousand nine hundred taels will be enough.”

County magistrate Xiao was a little surprised that Qi Yibai did the calculation so quickly, he didn't even need an abacus?But Qi Yibai has already stated the price, if he was a man, it would be easy to say, but Qi Yibai is just a pair.

County magistrate Xiao was too embarrassed to make any further plans on the spot. The price sounded very favorable, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I will trouble you about the crossbow machine. Do you have any requirements for the arrow?"

If the test is complete and usable at that time, he will take the bow and crossbow to see the prefect.

After Qi Yibai agreed to give the arrow blueprints, he returned to Xishui Town with this big order. He took the time to go to Bairu Academy again, and after handing in the forty pairs of bows and crossbows that Qiu Ziyue wanted, he reminded him of the task After completion, in addition to rewarding system coins and the number of draws, there are also [-] points of life.

The task of selling one hundred bows and crossbows within one month was finally completed, and it was still exceeding the quota. There were a total of one hundred and three crossbows, which was not counting the extra orders.

Qi Yibaiguang thought that when this order was completed, after excluding the cost and labor, he expected to earn more than 3000 taels of silver, and felt that he might become rich overnight! !

Suppressing his excitement, Qi Yibai planned to go back to the village first and ask Zhao Sanhu how many bows and crossbows he could make. He planned to let Zhao Sanhu hire someone to make some military crossbows, and the other part to be made in the system forging room. Ba Niu The structure of the crossbow is complicated and rigorous, and it is better to make it in a forging room to be safer.

First of all, he had to figure out how long it took the forging room to make a repeating crossbow.

Qi Yibai did what he said, and immediately went to buy high-quality strong strings, designed a blueprint for a military crossbow with an effective range of 180 to [-] meters, added the materials into the forging room, clicked on forging, Suddenly found that there is a forging quantity button for the materials placed, which can increase the quantity. Does this mean that more than one can be forged at one time?

He tried to click on the largest, and it showed that he could forge three at a time, but he didn't need a system currency, and the time was only 3 minutes, which was equivalent to a crossbow machine that could be made in only 1 minute.

Qi Yibai "..."

Using the forge to make a military crossbow is so fast! !

How stupid he was before, knowing that the forging room can make bicycles, but he didn't expect that bows and crossbows could also be made in the forging room! !
