In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 160 Repair
Shimizu from Demon Slayer World is not short.

Although he is only seventeen years old, he is already 1.82 meters tall. He may grow a little taller in the next few years, but his figure has basically taken shape.

However, this puppet, which was modeled after Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, was actually much taller than himself, almost 1.95 meters tall.

I guess that three hundred years ago, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was also of similar height.

"Can you take it apart so I can take a look? Or can you show me a demonstration first?"

Qingshui looked at the joints of the puppet for a few times and found nothing wrong, so he asked Xiaotie.

"Let me demonstrate first!"

Xiao Tie struggled to bring a small stool, stepped on it, reached out and found a switch behind Yuan Yi Lingshi, turned it on, and using all his strength, pulled out a chain, wrapped it around a disc and twisted it.

Qingshui looked over curiously.

Is this... clockwork?
That is, the craftsmen of that era did not have the multiple energy sources of later times, and the most likely power source for the Yoriichi Zero was the clockwork.

The clockwork device accumulates mechanical energy by manually winding the spring, which is then gradually released to drive a complex mechanical structure and maintain power for a longer period of time.

Seeing how hard Xiaotie was struggling, Qingshui took the initiative to walk up and twisted the capstan with the power of breathing techniques and chakra.

With Xiaotie's speed, even if he twisted for an hour, he wouldn't be able to move for more than a few seconds in the Yuan Yi Ling Shi.

He could hear the sound of chains being pulled inside the puppet.

It must be a multi-spring drive system.

This puppet is extremely heavy and has multiple arms. The capstan on its back must be connected to multiple clockwork systems.

"Kacha!"

As soon as the mechanical twisting sound was heard, Xiao Tie immediately shouted: "It's OK, it's OK!"

Then the little brat activated another mechanism and temporarily fixed the winch.

"In the past, if I fully wound this, the Yoriichi Zero could work for a quarter of an hour. It is said that a long time ago, it could last for nearly half an hour once fully wound. But now, even if I replace the spring according to the blueprint, it can only last for ten minutes. Oh, and there are blueprints. I'll go get them!"

Xiaotie ran into the house again, noisy.

By the time he came out, Shimizu had already drawn out his Nichirin Sword and was fighting with Yoriichi Zero Style.

"It is indeed the Sun Breathing technique used. Just as I guessed, although they say that those who exhaust their own path will end up in the same place, in fact, Tsugikuni Yoriichi is still worried that his Sun Breathing will be lost. In addition to the Kamado family, he still left his legacy in other places."

Shimizu muttered to himself, holding the Nichirin Sword, which already had many cracks, in his right hand and fighting against Yuichi Zero Style.

After several rounds of fighting, Shimizu also watched all of Yuichi Zero's moves in full.

It was exactly the Twelve Styles of Sun Breathing, but the movements of Sun Breathing were so swift and sharp that even someone with the physical fitness of a Pillar would not be able to perform it in its entirety. This puppet also needed six arms to be able to perform the moves of Sun Breathing in a precise manner.

Shimizu estimated that for the more difficult moves after Sun Breathing, those who are in Demon Slayer World would have to activate their markings and have physical fitness to meet the standards.

It is not enough to just meet the physical fitness standards, one must also have a high enough degree of compatibility with the Sun Breathing and be able to learn the breathing techniques involved.

No wonder after three hundred years, no one has learned the Breathing of the Sun from this puppet.

I'm afraid that every swordsman who sees the Yoriichi Zero style will have a preconceived notion that it is a set of swordsmanship that requires six arms to perform, and naturally will not try to learn it.

Shimizu did not have the attitude that he must learn the Breathing of Sun. At least he believed that the Breathing of Separation that he developed was more suitable for him. If one day he became stronger than Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the Breathing of Separation might not be inferior to the Breathing of Sun.

At present, he is more focused on using the Sun Breathing moves demonstrated by Yoriichi Zero Style and verifying it with the Fire God Kagura he learned from Tanjiro, in order to better improve and strengthen his Breathing of Ride.

Ten minutes later, after swinging his sword, Yuan Yilingshi suddenly stopped and stood there motionless.

Qingshui also put away the Sun Blade which had several more cuts on it.

Yoshiichi Zeroshiki's combat power may not be worse than that of the previous pillars, but compared with the second strongest pillar in history, it is still slightly lower.

It can't beat the current generation of pillars, but it is enough to be used for training most of the pillars of this generation.

"The second and third arms on the left and the first arm on the right are blocked. There is a noticeable lack of coordination in the steps, and the upper body is stiff when turning..."

After a fight, Qingshui figured out some of the problems with the doll.

The puppet can be disassembled later for targeted repairs.

"Lord Li Zhu, the blueprints!"

Xiaotie handed two yellowed papers to Qingshui.

"The original from three hundred years ago has disappeared. In my great-grandfather's generation, the swordsmith village was attacked, causing the copy of the original to disappear. This one was copied by my great-grandfather, and the other one was copied by my father imitating the one my great-grandfather drew."

Qingshui took the drawing and looked at it carefully.

The first drawing was very tattered, it must have been held together with some kind of paper paste, otherwise it would have been in pieces.

The second one is slightly yellowed, but still legible.

It is indeed as I guessed, it uses clockwork as the main power source, but it is more than just clockwork.

Gravity and springs are both utilized.

Shimizu even saw a structure similar to a pendulum system inside.

Were there pendulums three hundred years ago?

It seems that the time points are about the same, which means that with the level of technology at that time, it was indeed possible for the ancients to make it, but it was not made public.

Forget it, no matter so much.

Throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Qingshui continued to look through the drawings.

Based on his experience, he could roughly tell that the two drawings were missing about 20 percent of the content.

With Qingshui's attainments in puppetry, he could roughly guess what the missing 20 percent was.

But to know the details, we have to take the puppet apart.

The tools here were quite complete, and it took Shimizu less than half an hour to disassemble the Yuichi Type-0.

"This sword..."

Tetsunamori Kozo picked up the black rusty sword that was located on the spine of Eni Ichi-Shiki after it was disassembled in surprise.

Tetsuji Heyuan Tetsujin also leaned over and snatched the sword.

"The forging technique of this sword is indeed from three hundred years ago, and it must have been made by the best swordsmith at the time. Judging from its weight and shape, the user must have amazing arm strength. It is very likely that he is the powerful swordsman who serves as the prototype of the puppet."

The village chief, who was highly skilled in sword-making, made this judgment.
