Chapter 174: Get a New Crossbow for Free

"This is cotton iron wood. Although it is wood and its texture is loose and porous, its hardness is not inferior to hundred-refined refined iron. It should be very good... Um, what is it called?" Mr. Huang suddenly paused and thought about the vocabulary.

"Energy absorption." Gu Sheng had been observing Huang Lao's techniques attentively, and naturally knew what he wanted to say, but the term energy absorption was too unfamiliar to Huang Lao, and he couldn't remember it for a while. Gu Sheng reminded him smoothly. arrive.

"Oh, yes! Energy absorption! Judging from your description, the shrapnel inside is mainly to divide and block sound. I specially chose cotton iron wood, which is not only strong enough but also has a good energy absorption effect. The finished product has a sound attenuation effect. It should be better."

After completing the production and installation of the shrapnel, Huang Lao pulled out a dark green-looking fluffy algae plant from the pile of materials on the table.

"This is a special kind of seaweed in the sea. It has a soft texture and many small holes in it. It is usually used as a buffer material in the more precise parts of forging large instruments. I think its energy-absorbing effect should be good."

Gu Sheng picked it up and squeezed it early. It felt very soft, a bit like a sponge in his previous life.

Although Mr. Huang is old, he is quick and accurate with his hands. He completed the installation of all the internal materials of the second-generation muffler in just a few minutes!

"Give me the gravel crossbow!"

Gu Sheng handed over the gravel crossbow, and Huang Lao put the second-generation silencer on it with gleaming eyes.

Mr. Huang is worthy of being a top-grade Huang-level blacksmith. His craftsmanship is much better than that of Gu Sheng, who is half-assed. Putting aside the effect, the appearance alone looks much more exquisite than what Gu Sheng made.

Gu Sheng was also eager to know how effective the second-generation silencer was, so he hurriedly pulled out an arrow and handed it to Mr. Huang.

"Huang Lao, let's go back quickly and try the effect!"

Mr. Huang opened the cover of the silencer, loaded the arrow with it, and said with a smile: "What are you going back for? Just try it here!"

As he spoke, he raised the gravel crossbow in his hand, pointed it at the wall, and fired the crossbow. Gu Sheng did not expect Huang Laoyi to be so aggressive at his age.

This forging room is obviously unique, the walls are surrounded by thick granite!

The strength of granite is very high, and it is impossible to penetrate it with the power of a gravel crossbow. If it were an ordinary arrow, the powerful force would directly explode the arrow at the moment of collision, but the problem lies with Gu Sheng's arrow. It is special. The arrow body is made of hundred-refined refined iron. It has good hardness and elasticity. If it is shot, it will bounce back!

The room is only twenty or thirty meters wide at its widest. If it bounces back from this distance, it will be very powerful. At the very least, Gu Sheng is not sure that he can catch it without damage. When Huang Lao pulled the crossbow, Gu Sheng was in a hurry and used a sliding shovel to get to the side. Go under the casting table.

There are granite supports on the front and back of the casting table, which is relatively safe.

"puff"

The gravel crossbow made a soft sound, and the arrow shot out quickly. When it collided with the granite wall, it bounced immediately. The arrow bounced back in the direction where Gu Sheng was standing just now.

The arrows that bounced back were nailed to the shelf at the back. Fortunately, the shelves were filled with large pieces of heavy metal, otherwise they would have to be overturned.

"It's done! It's done! Hahaha..."

Huang Lao's eyes shone brightly, he looked at the silencer in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and laughed heartily.

Gu Sheng also hurriedly climbed out from under the forging table.

He could hear it clearly just now. The sound of the crossbow when it was fired was already very small. He could only hear a little bit from being so close. The sound sounded like a secret fart, and almost only the operator himself could hear it. See you!

This effect has exceeded Gu Sheng's initial expectations for the silencer!

"Open it quickly and take a look inside!"

There was no need for Gu Sheng to remind Mr. Huang that he had already opened the lid to check what was going on inside.

The cotton-iron wood separators are intact, but they are a bit hot to the touch. The seaweed in the filling has some burnt color and some wear and tear. Looking at it like this, the filling will have to be replaced after firing up to twenty arrows. seaweed, otherwise the sound insulation effect will be much worse.

Gu Sheng was also very excited at this time! The successful production of the silencer can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the gravel crossbow in battle, which will be very helpful for their subsequent hunting opportunities!

Mr. Huang was also very happy at this time! In fact, he has always felt that the power of the bow and crossbow weapon is not weaker than that of ordinary swords, axes, and axes, and it also has the effect of long-range shooting, so it should also become the main weapon. However, the bow and crossbow weapon has a big problem. The disadvantage is that the more powerful this thing is, the louder the sound will be! Many people buy bows and crossbows for sneak attacks or rear output. Isn't this huge sound actively revealing their position?

This is also the reason why the bow and crossbow weapon has always been popular but not popular!

But things are different now. The advent of the silencer will completely change this situation and infinitely amplify the advantages of crossbow weapons! Mr. Huang knew that the emergence of silencers would set off a craze for crossbow weapons. This would be a huge business opportunity!

After a brief period of happiness, Gu Sheng suddenly fell into a dilemma. He almost forgot that he had no involvement in the material or forging of this second-generation silencer. Strictly speaking, the second-generation silencer had little to do with him.

The materials used in the second-generation silencer are valuable, especially the deep-sea immersed silver used to build the main body, which is a low-grade yellow-grade forging material. With Gu Sheng's current financial resources, he simply cannot afford it!

At this time, Gu Sheng was hesitating about how to communicate with Mr. Huang so that he could temporarily lend him the second-generation silencer on credit.

Old Huang couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Sheng's sad face, "What are you thinking about? You don't look happy!"

Gu Sheng pouted and said, "Can you give me this silencer on credit for now? I'll return it to you when I make money in a while! Don't worry, I'm a disciple of the Shengdan Sect and I won't run away with the order!"

Old Huang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and returned the stone crushing crossbow to him directly: "What on credit? I have worked hard for more than ten years to solve the problem of silencing bows and crossbows, but I haven't come up with a good solution. If it weren't for you today, I don't know how much time I would have wasted! Although these materials are valuable, they are too cheap compared to my time! This is for you!"

Gu Sheng was immediately delighted when he heard this and thanked Old Huang repeatedly.

Although Gu Sheng did provide ideas and thoughts, there is no such thing as intellectual property rights in this world. Besides, Old Huang is not only a top-grade caster of the yellow level, but also a master of the marrow refining realm. If he is really unreasonable, Gu Sheng can't do anything.

Huang Lao solved the problem that had troubled him for more than ten years, and he was in a good mood. After searching on the counter for a while, he took out some forged parts, quickly assembled the parts, and soon made a crossbow.

A quarter of an hour later, a brand new crossbow appeared in Huang Lao's hand. Its appearance and size were similar to the stone crushing crossbow, but its power was definitely much stronger than the stone crushing crossbow. Because Gu Sheng had just witnessed the production process of Huang Lao, the materials used for the bowstring and fuselage of this new crossbow were much better than the stone crushing crossbow.

When Huang Lao took the second-generation silencer from Gu Sheng and installed it on the new crossbow, it fit perfectly, as if it was custom-made!

"Arrow!"

Gu Sheng picked up the previous arrow and handed it to Huang Lao, and then he was about to get under the table again. Huang Lao grabbed his collar and smiled: "Just stand behind me."

Gu Sheng nodded and carefully hid his body completely behind Huang Lao.

The arrows shot from the stone crushing crossbow were so powerful when they bounced back, not to mention the new crossbow made by Mr. Huang. Gu Sheng cherished his life very much and dared not be careless.

"Puff!"

The sound made by the arrow this time was a little louder than before, but it was not a big deal. Although it was the same arrow this time, the power was very different!

This time, the arrow did not bounce back but shot directly into the hard granite wall. When Gu Sheng came to the wall and saw that the entire arrow was almost two-thirds in, he couldn't help but gasp!

"Hiss! This power, I'm afraid that even the Silver Bone Realm will shake his head after seeing it!"

Old Huang grinned, "As long as you shoot accurately, the people in the Silver Bone Realm will be crippled if they are hit! This is mainly because of your limited strength. Otherwise, I don't mind making a yellow-level lower-grade treasure crossbow for you. When you break through to the Golden Bone Realm, come to me and I'll give you one! I'll thank you for helping me solve my worries for more than ten years!"

As he spoke, Old Huang threw the new crossbow in his hand to Gu Sheng.

Although this crossbow is not a treasure, many of the materials used in it have been seen by Gu Sheng on the material list given to him by Qingqing, and they are all very valuable. The cost of this crossbow alone is estimated to be more than 50,000 taels!

This is just the material cost. If the labor cost is added, Gu Sheng estimates that it will cost at least 100,000 taels to sell the finished product outside!

Gu Sheng took the new crossbow and couldn't let it go.

"Help yourself! I'll go get busy first! I still have some filling materials here, you can take them yourself."

After Mr. Huang left, Gu Sheng took some seaweed for backup and left the foundry with Qingqing back to the first floor.

This time, Qingqing looked at Gu Sheng with a little more curiosity and respect. She had worked at the Mu's Company in Shengdan City for so many years, and Gu Sheng was the first person besides Mr. Huang to enter his forging room!

The forging room of a forger and the alchemist's alchemy room are like the boudoirs of a virgin girl. If they are not very close, it is impossible to enter!

At least Qingqing remembered very clearly that before, a person from the main branch of the Mu family came to the headquarters of the Mu's Company and wanted to go in for a visit, but was ruthlessly rejected by Mr. Huang. The people of the main family wanted to force their way in, but they were beaten by Mr. Huang and cried for their parents. Finally, after the headquarters of the Mu's Company learned about this, they specially sent an elder to twist that person to apologize to Mr. Huang.

It can be seen that Mr. Huang has already recognized Gu Sheng in his heart!

This is a great thing!

Although Mr. Huang looks quite old, in fact, warriors have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people. Ordinary people are considered to have a long lifespan if they live to 70 or 80, but warriors are different. Even if they are in the Blood Refining Realm, as long as they don't die prematurely, they can still be very strong when they are 100 years old! It is common for warriors in the Marrow Refining Realm to live to 150 years old, and it is common for people who are willing to spend money on maintenance to live to 200 years old.

Mr. Huang is only 92 years old now, which means he is still in his prime!

When he was young, Mr. Huang was also a famous forging genius. He successfully created his first treasure at the age of 30! After joining the Mu's Chamber of Commerce, his refining skills improved rapidly. It only took him 20 years to independently create a yellow-level treasure, and the success rate was extremely high! This also made him famous and became a special worshiper of the Mu's Chamber of Commerce!

Mr. Huang's skills have been honed to the extreme at the upper-grade Huang level. It is rumored that if he can obtain the Xuan level illustrations one day, he will be able to successfully be promoted to a Xuan level caster!

Although the casting atlas can be made by yourself, it is a very difficult thing. The process of making the atlas is very complicated. There are too many things that need to be conceived and perfected when designing. The difficulty is like cutting mountains and rivers, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

The casting atlas, like the pill recipe, is basically passed down from ancient times.

Although there is also a Xuan-level atlas in the Mu's business, things of this level are naturally regarded as the foundation of the Mu's business, and of course they will not be taken out casually. They have also communicated with Huang Lao and asked Huang Lao to marry into the Mu family and become one of their own, so that they can give him the Xuan-level atlas to study. However, Huang Lao is unwilling to have too much involvement with these so-called wealthy families. He just wants to forge without being disturbed. This is why he has been stuck in the upper grade of the yellow level for so many years.

Even so, Huang Lao's status in the Chiyun Mansion is still not to be underestimated. It is no exaggeration to say that with his skills, he will be treated as a guest of honor wherever he goes.

Being recognized by people like Huang Lao, it can be seen that Gu Sheng is also very talented in casting!

Gu Sheng is so young, with good martial arts talent, excellent casting talent, and handsome appearance. He is definitely a high-quality young man! Which girl doesn't like this kind of person? Qingqing looked at Gu Sheng with a little more shyness in her eyes.

Gu Sheng was immersed in the joy of getting a new weapon at this time, and did not notice Qingqing's subtle changes at all. Gu Sheng rubbed his hands back and forth on the new crossbow, just like a child getting a new toy.

"Please help me calculate, do I need to pay more this time?"

Gu Sheng didn't stay here for long this time, and Qingqing quickly handed the bill and the refunded 100 taels of silver to Gu Sheng.

"You don't need to pay more this time. This is the refund and the bill, please check it."

Gu Sheng put the bill and money in his pocket without even looking at it.

"If you need anything next time, you can come to me directly."

"Sure!"

After leaving Mu's business, Gu Sheng looked at the star-like pattern on the crossbow and smiled: "Just for this look, I'll call it the Star-Breaking Crossbow!"

Gu Sheng couldn't help but kiss the crossbow before reluctantly putting it away.

The Star-Breaking Crossbow is powerful, and even people in the Silver Bone Realm find it difficult to resist. Gu Sheng is confident about the next hunting operation!

When Gu Sheng left Shengdan City and rushed to Shengdan Sect, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the person who just passed by.

"Hey! Isn't that Mu Qinghe? What a coincidence?" (End of this chapter)
