Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Chapter 208 New

Since winning the last battle, the White Bear Country's cavalry gave up attacking Beiling.

For ten consecutive days, Beiling was safe and sound.

The scouts Li Shanqi sent out found no trace of them, but they didn't dare to continue their search. Beiling's troops were unable to pursue or rush to their aid, so as long as they could hold on, it would be a great achievement!

These days, everyone in the woodworking workshop is busy.

The large crossbows that had been of great use before were refurbished and debugged, and then they began to be upgraded and improved.

This time, the iron accessories are more durable and have greater supporting strength than the previous wooden accessories, so Liuzi still wants to make some improvements.

"Miss, if we replace this part with iron fittings, do you think it would be more effective? Would it allow the wooden arrows to shoot farther?"

"What you said is feasible!"

When Liuzi heard this, he became more energetic and wanted to just roll up his sleeves and get to work.

But Su Chengnan changed the subject, "But there is no need to continue upgrading."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Liuzi's head. Not only was he stunned, but even the others around him looked at him in confusion.

"Why?" Liuzi asked excitedly.

"Because I have a more energy-saving method that can increase the power."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened.

"More powerful?"

"How much bigger can this get?"

"Yes, the power of this large crossbow is far beyond our imagination. It has made significant contributions in recent times. If its power can be even greater, then wouldn't it be..."

When everyone thought of this, their eyes lit up.

Everyone was waiting with great interest for Su Chengnan to continue.

But she was not in a hurry at all. Instead, she took off the hairpin from her head and raised the pointed end to the ceiling.

"At the time, in order to save manpower and increase production, we didn't pursue perfection in the production of wooden arrows. While the crossbow mechanism is an important aspect, the sharpness of the wooden arrows is even more important."

"Look at these two things in my hands. Which one do you think is more likely to penetrate armor and deal a fatal blow to the enemy?"

"Of course it's a hairpin!"

"I think it's a hairpin too. This thing is thinner."

Everyone was talking at once.

But Liuzi had a different opinion. He shook his head and said, "I think it's a wooden arrow!"

Su Chengnan smiled: "Why?"

He pointed to the size of the arrow slot on the crossbow and patted the base of the device. "With such a large device, it's impossible to use arrows as small as hairpins. It would be too demanding on the operator, and it would easily lose accuracy under the huge thrust."

"Is that right?"

"No way!" someone disagreed.

"Sixth Brother, think about it, those people in the martial arts world who play with flying knives also play with flying needles."

Liuzi nodded and raised his hands to silence the crowd's discussion. "Don't worry, listen to me! They can control the flying needles and knives because they can precisely pinch them with their fingers and then fling them out with the control of their wrists."

"but!"

"Do you think our current devices can accurately control hairpins, flying knives, or flying needles?"

His words silenced everyone present.

Even Sun Liangyuan fell into deep thought, shaking his head silently and muttering to himself, "That makes sense, it makes sense..."

However, someone soon came to their senses.

The man shouted, "Miss, please stop keeping us in suspense."

"That's right!" The others realized what was happening and realized that Su Chengnan had only said half of his words.

"Miss, what solution do you have? Please tell us quickly! We are really worried to death." Liuzi came over to ask for advice.

Sun Liangyuan couldn't help but move closer and stood in front of her.

Su Chengnan curled his lips, turned around and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the dagger on the table by the wall.

She walked over and picked it up.

Then he chopped off the tip of the wooden arrow with force, and poked a dot out of its thumb-sized cross-section.

Her actions have completely aroused everyone's expectations.

Sun Liangyuan was the first to react to her actions.

He laughed heartily: "Brilliant, brilliant!"

Liuzi frowned, "What do you mean, sir?"

He looked at Liuzi with a hint of disdain, frowning and saying, "You, you usually seem quite clever, but how come you've become so dumb when it comes to this craft? I think you're just too obsessed with the wood!"

"I don't understand, please explain it to me, sir and miss!"

Sun Liangyuan raised his hand and touched his goatee, smiled without saying a word, and just looked at Su Chengnan quietly, waiting for her to solve the doubts for everyone.

"Ok?"

"What's going on, everyone?"

"Why are you all standing still?"

A familiar voice came from the door. It was Qingshan coming over.

He asked confusedly.

When Su Chengnan saw him coming, he just happened to capture some able-bodied men.

"Qingshan, you're here just in time! Come on, help me."

"Miss, please give me your orders." He walked over quickly and stood still, bending down and clasping his hands together. His posture was polite and respectful.

Su Chengnan gave him a helping hand, then handed him the wooden arrow with the cut end and the hairpin in his hand.

Qingshan took it and asked, "Miss, what is this?"

Su Chengnan pointed to the dot he had poked and said, "Help me break the hairpin, and then poke the pointed end in!"

In fact, when she came back with these two things just now, Liuzi saw the dot that was poked out, and he already understood it! And Su Chengnan's instructions to Qingshan's behavior further confirmed his thoughts.

"Miss, that's not necessary. I already understand!" Liuzi said loudly.

"No need? Are you sure?" Su Chengnan turned and looked at him.

Liuzi nodded, "I'm sure!"

He walked over and took the hairpin from Qingshan's hand, holding it in his hand and gesturing, "Even if it's fixed to the wood with a sharp end, because it's hard and compact, it only needs to be relatively pointed to increase its lethality. It doesn't have to be as sharp as a needle."

Su Chengnan grinned, "Yes!"

"So, instead of continuing to study the equipment, we should focus on the arrows!"

"Wood is easy to find, but iron is a scarce resource. Why don't we take the iron used to make accessories and refine it into arrowheads, thinner than hairpins but thicker than needles."

Sun Liangyuan also chimed in, "That's right. In this case, as long as we can make it as thin as possible and save the iron, we can make an extra one! At the critical moment, we only need to cut off the wooden arrow and replace it with this iron needle, and then we can carry out a targeted attack!"

Qingshan almost went crazy with joy when he heard this.

"Wow! This method will definitely be very effective!"

"Awesome! So awesome!"
