Chapter 9: Compound Bow Armor-piercing Arrow

Qian Yucheng came to the library again. He rarely read books, but spread a piece of paper on the desk.

Ling Yuan also came in at this time, holding high-precision measuring tools and fine drawing pens (pencils), as well as a paint tray for coloring.

These products come from Gengxin City. Similar tools are no worse than those on Blue Star!

"Second Young Master, everything you want is ready!"

She gently placed the things on the shelf on the right side of Qian Yucheng and looked at him curiously.

This Second Young Master is not reading books today, but is going to practice painting?

It's better to think more about choosing a suitable soul beast than wasting time like this.

Qian Yucheng didn't say anything. After looking at Ling Yuan, he picked up the painting brush.

When he picked up the brush, he became extremely focused, which made Ling Yuan stunned for a moment.

"Second Young Master, there is a special charm, I..."

She, a woman who practices all day and doesn't pay attention to men and women, was attracted to the other party in an instant!

I can only say that men are really handsome when they focus on something!

Not to mention Qian Yucheng, a handsome middle-aged man with high looks!

Qian Yucheng did not pay attention to Ling Yuan's changes, but focused on sketching on the paper.

With just a few strokes, he constructed a structural diagram of a female portrait.

Then, he began to add details, hairstyle, facial features, limbs, clothes...

In twenty minutes, he finished a sketch of a female portrait.

After finishing the painting, he looked at Ling Yuan and said, "Elder Ling Yuan, how about my painting?"

Ling Yuan walked to his side curiously and looked at the portrait.

"This... is me?!"

She didn't expect that the person he painted was actually herself!

However, this way of painting is really unique. This is a way of painting that has never been seen before.

The characters on the paper are lifelike, which is really magical!

"Second Young Master, your painting skills are better than the royal painters of the two empires!"

She couldn't help but praise.

Qian Yucheng smiled and said, "It's just a small trick. I haven't started to draw for a long time. I didn't expect that I haven't regressed much!" He added, "Take this painting and treat it as a souvenir." This portrait was just for practice. If my painting skills haven't regressed, I can start drawing and designing. Ling Yuan picked up the portrait and put it into his storage soul guide. Qian Yucheng spread a piece of paper again and took the ruler and circle drawing tool from the shelf. The rough shape he drew was a bow, but it looked different from the bows used in the army! There were things like wheels at both ends of the bow! Ling Yuan looked at this preliminary structure and was even more confused. Is this a bow? Why is it different from what I saw? ! The fifth worshiper, Elder Guangling, his bow and arrow are also different from this shape! And the soul masters with bow and arrow martial spirits that I have seen, they are either recurved or compound types. This kind of wheeled one has never been seen before! The thing Qian Yucheng drew is a compound bow!

This thing was a powerful weapon in the cold weapon era!

Of course, there is a more powerful weapon-the compound crossbow!

This weapon must be developed after the compound bow is developed.

Releasing this weapon all at once can easily make others think about it.

The common long-range attack weapons in the Douluo World are recurve bows, crossbows, and javelins.

Every time soul beasts launch a beast attack on human cities, the first two waves are low-level soul beasts less than 200 years old who are sent to die.

The purpose is to consume the number of human bows and arrows, and then the third attack will easily approach the city.

The purpose achieved by the two is very interesting: if the human side does not send soul masters above the Soul Venerable, the soul beasts will not send soul beasts over 1,000 years old to participate in the battle!

Therefore, this is undoubtedly very painful for those civilians.

The nobles of the two empires will definitely not care about the lives of ordinary people. As long as their rule is stable, there is no loss in sacrificing some civilians!

It's polygamy anyway, plus they'll be compensated with two gold soul coins per month for having more children, so they don't worry about the population problem at all!

In addition, the empire will also award medals of honor to soldiers who died in the fight against the beast tide, and their descendants who have awakened martial spirits can enter the junior soul master academy with two-thirds of the tuition waived.

Under this policy, the population of the two empires is maintained in a very sufficient state.

But no one knows the pain of losing loved ones, and the sadness will only fall on ordinary families!

To resist the beast tide, ordinary people will die a hundred times!

The Wuhun Hall also has its own defense army, which is also formed by civilians from all over the country.

He is not the so-called saint, but just wants these ordinary families to reduce some sadness.

Other weapons do not need to be passed on. Once the human weapon state is too powerful, the soul beast will suffer great damage.

Before the research of artificial soul rings, a balance must be maintained between humans and soul masters!

And no one knows whether the gods in the upper realm will interfere with this development. The hidden weapons recorded in Xuantian Baolu are all cold weapons. Considering the civilization of Douluo Continent, the gods certainly won't care.

It is also possible that the gods in the God Realm have selfish motives. After all, the original drama has evolved into a battle between faiths. The battle between the two gods was a battle of heaven and earth.

Qian Yucheng just wants this kind of weapon to spread from the Spirit Hall and let its reputation rise again.One floor!

Every year, we help soul masters from all over the continent to awaken their spirits. As long as they are certified by the Spirit Hall, the soul sect can receive soul coins subsidies before they can awaken their spirits. This makes the Spirit Hall have a very good reputation among civilian soul masters!

The two empires and other sects also have their own systems, but they are only for their own use.

The awakening of civilian spirits has nothing to do with them.

If the Spirit Hall promotes this kind of weapon, it will get more support from the civilians!

Even the two empires cannot gain such people's hearts!

This may allow the Spirit Hall to recruit more potential talents and make the inheritance last forever!

As the people want, Qian Yucheng wants to see how those guys plan to overthrow the Spirit Hall in the future!

In fifteen minutes, he drew the complete shape of the compound bow.

It is definitely not okay to have a bow without arrows, so he continued to draw matching arrows.

Armor-piercing arrows!

Compound bow!

After he finished drawing, Ling Yuan couldn't help asking, "Second Young Master, what kind of bow did you draw?"

"This is called a compound bow. Even a person with little strength can pull it open!"

"At a distance of fifty meters, it basically never misses a target!"

Qian Yucheng put down the pen and said slowly.

Compound bow?

This name made Ling Yuan feel very unfamiliar. She had never heard of this type of bow.

"People with little strength can pull it open. Is it caused by the wheels at both ends?"

Although she didn't understand why this effect could be achieved, it must have a lot to do with the two extra wheels!

"Yes, this is a gear. It can increase the convenience of archery and reduce the effort consumed when pulling the bow."

After Qian Yucheng finished speaking, he briefly explained to her the principle structure of the compound bow.

Ling Yuan looked at the drawing and didn't expect that this weapon would be so powerful.

If ordinary people were equipped with this weapon, they could probably shoot and kill a great soul master by sneak attack!

If you can find the weakness of a hundred-year-old soul beast, ordinary people should be able to easily shoot it with this armor-piercing arrow.

Ling Yuan looked at him and asked, "Second Young Master, if this arrow can carry soul power, wouldn't it be more powerful?!"

"If it is a soul master below the Soul Sect level, then this weapon should not be a problem against soul beasts within a thousand years."

"The arrow is attached with soul power, the armor-piercing effect should be better, and the penetration will be stronger!"

"But the specific effect will have to wait until the finished product is made to know."

Qian Yucheng didn't know what changes would happen when the compound bow was paired with a soul master.

After all, he designed it from the perspective of ordinary people.

Attaching soul power is equivalent to enchanting the arrowhead, and the power will have to wait for the finished product experiment!

Ling Yuan asked again, "Second Young Master, you only have a picture here, do you have any specific parts?"

"Look, are you in a hurry again? I haven't drawn it yet!"

"I'll design its specific parts now!"

After Qian Yucheng finished speaking, he took out a new piece of paper and began to design the specific parts of the compound bow!

Seeing how serious he was, Ling Yuan stood in the distance, quietly watching him create.

An hour later, Qian Yucheng twisted his sore neck and rubbed his eyes.

Looking at the parts on the drawing, he took a deep breath.

"It's done. Next, we'll find a craftsman to make the parts!"

He was very satisfied with the design this time. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was done in one go.

Ling Yuan asked, "Second Young Master, then take this thing to the Great Worshiper now?"

Qian Yucheng shook his head, "No, assemble the finished product and show it to my father!"

A picture can't explain anything. Only the finished product can convince others.
