Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Zhang family's new residence in Fangshi became lively again. Zhang Shengye personally welcomed everyone.
Speaking of which, after the mansion was built, the Zhang family didn't have much use.
First it was borrowed by the Black Iron Guild, and now it's borrowed by the Weapon Refining Guild—it should be said to be a 'quasi' Weapon Refining Guild.
Early in the morning, the place was crowded with people; guards from various families and trading houses completely sealed off the surrounding area, which aroused countless curiosity.
Carriages drove into the compound one after another; but a barrier rose over the compound, completely blocking the outside world.
After arriving at the compound, everyone silently occupied a position and took out the things in the carriage or the things in the storage ring.
Because storage equipment is expensive, scarce, and the space is small, it can only be decorated with precious small things; bulk items must be transported by horse-drawn carriages.
But everyone's eyes were mostly focused on the Zhang family's belongings.
The Zhang family placed three groups of items, all of which were unfamiliar.
The first group looks like a crossbow bed, but the shape is... a bit strange, even exaggerated.
The second group is a bunch of large and small black iron circles. They look very complicated and I don’t know what they are used for.
The third group is a pile of tools, which are arranged neatly and orderly, but no one can understand them.
At this time, Zhang Hao was also looking at the items brought by everyone. Everyone placed beautifully crafted flying swords, swords, crossbows, hidden weapons, spears, talismans, armor, shields, iron ropes, mirrors, gourds, formation flags, and thunder hammers.
, jewelry accessories, etc.
Most of the items in each household are duplicates.
Thinking about it, there are only a few magic weapons commonly used by cultivators; there are not many who play too off-line.
Zheng Changqiu walked around in a circle and finally stopped in front of Zhang Hao: "My dear nephew, how about starting with you? I can't understand anything you say here."
Everyone agreed.
Zheng Changqiu pointed to the weird and exaggerated crossbow bed again, "How about we start with this."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Zhang family's crossbow bed.
The shape of the crossbow bed in front of me is extremely exaggerated, almost two feet wide, with a total of three pairs of six crossbow arms as thick as an adult's arm; different from ordinary crossbow arms, these crossbow arms are actually forged from black iron and have a weak wavy shape.
At the end of the crossbow arm, there are some round wheels; bow strings are hung on the round wheels; under each pair of crossbow arm round wheels, three bow strings are hung, not the same one.
The bow string is also different, it is actually made of thin black iron wires twisted together.
A total of nine bowstrings are neatly and orderly submerged into a slider. In front of the slider, there is a guide groove as thick as an arm.
Also, this crossbow bed does not have a common winch.
Zhang Hao was not polite, but did not introduce him immediately. Instead, he came to the side of the crossbow bed and gently shook a half-meter-sized turntable, which was very easy.
Compared to the crossbow bed and compared to common winches, this turntable is indeed very small.
But as Zhang Hao quickly turned, he heard a heavy creaking sound, the slide moved backward, and then he saw that the crossbow arm bent down quickly, and the arms of the arm were bent backward.
, the iron rope made of twisted black iron wires tightened, and the chute moved backward quickly.
The creaking, buzzing, and rattling sounds became deeper and deeper. Everyone's expressions changed slightly, feeling the power of this steel monster. They all moved out of the way of the crossbow bed.
Finally, there was a click, and the slider stuck on a protruding stuck point.
Zhang Hao directed two guards to twitch a 'super crossbow' that was as thick as an arm and three feet long from under the crossbow bed.
This crossbow weighed almost 400 kilograms. The two guards easily placed the 'crossbow' on the guide rail groove, and the tail was stuck on the slider.
This crossbow is also extremely extraordinary. In addition to the dense array patterns on the surface, there are also two deep spiral grooves extending from the tip to the tail end. The crossbow has no tail feathers or the like.
Seeing such a strange missing crossbow, everyone began to wonder: If this thing can't roll in mid-air, then it would be a joke.
Zheng Changqiu was also curious: "This crossbow is missing. It has an armor-breaking formation, a forbidden-breaking formation, and is a bit rough. But what are these two spiral grooves for?
Also, without tail feathers, will this roll over?"
"Then please take care of Uncle Zheng!" Zhang Hao said with confidence on his face.
About 100 meters ahead, there are thousands of thick iron ingots placed. These are not smelted by the Zhang family themselves - they are too far away to transport, but are customized from the surrounding black iron smelting families.
These black iron ingots were built together and tied together with iron ropes.
Zhang Hao aimed through the mountain and then moved the trigger at arm's length.
But I saw that the slider that was fixed just now suddenly moved.
"Buzz..."
There was a buzz, and the air seemed to tremble; the sound of the crossbow firing even made the earth tremble.
Everyone only saw the crossbow arm rebound suddenly, and the crossbow flew out like a bolt of lightning.
The crossbow flew past, and there was only a faint hiss in the air.
"Bang!" A muffled sound came, and the thick iron ingots in the distance suddenly exploded, and the iron ropes were broken; but in the center, there was a bunch of candied haws!
Xuan Tie's arrow shot directly through four iron ingots, and finally sank into the fifth iron ingot.
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped. The physical defense ability of five iron ingots definitely exceeded the defense ability of the Yuanying stage. Of course, the Yuanying stage moves quickly and can dodge; but on the battlefield, who knows the cold arrow?
Where did it come from?
The most important thing is that such a powerful crossbow bed can knock open the strongest city wall bit by bit!
Everyone looked at the crossbow bed, then ran over to check the crossbow and iron ingots themselves, and finally confirmed that it was not their own eyesight.
At this time, everyone began to observe the shape of the Zhang family's crossbow bed with interest. Compared with the traditional crossbow bed shape, the Zhang family's crossbow bed is so different.
First of all, the arm of this crossbow actually has wavy patterns; secondly, the bowstring is actually twisted with very thin black iron wires. The black iron wires are as thin as hair. How did the Zhang family do it?
The entire crossbow arm and bow string are all made of dark iron with a purity of over 90%; these alone are nearly a ton of dark iron.
Most of the remaining structures are made of thick iron, as well as some unfamiliar I-beams, triangle steels, etc. However, the internal mechanical structure of the crossbow bed is wrapped and cannot be seen.
Everything is so strange, but its power is unquestionable.
The most important thing is that such a powerful crossbow bed is very easy to operate; except for the process of loading the crossbow and transferring the crossbow bed, the rest can be completed by one person. In fact, the crossbow can also be lost by oneself.
Everyone is a weapon refiner. In this prosperous age of cultivation, weapon refinement is not just about refining magic weapons, but also military equipment. Therefore, they saw the huge value of this crossbow bed at a glance.
Everyone looked a little surprised, and even more shocked. I used to think that the Zhang family was just a black iron smelter, but the Zhang family gave everyone a shocking answer.
After the sound of swallowing saliva, Zheng Changqiu began to ask carefully: "This...nephew, can you explain what this crossbow bed is?"
