In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

Even he could not ignore such a force, or rather, he was a little greedy.

After all, there are more than thirty innate masters, who wouldn’t be greedy?

Chapter 261 Are you really a genius in mechanical engineering?

Taiyi Mountain, in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.

The weather is very comfortable with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine.

Chisongzi and the five elders of Tianzong sat here, leisurely drinking the best tea while waiting for Bai Yuan to come back.

Not long after, several people saw Xiao Ling running towards them.

"Uncle Bai Yuan is back!"

Hearing this, Chisongzi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go and see together."

The few of them soon arrived near Bai Yuan's residence, and discovered from afar that the area within three miles of his residence had been under martial law by a group of maids wearing plain clothes and holding long swords.

There are also a large number of eagles and birds in the sky acting as spies, monitoring the movements on the ground.

Ordinary Tianzong disciples don't dare to get close to here.

Seeing this scene, Chisongzi's eyes twitched slightly and he felt a little curious.

"What the hell are you doing, brother?"

He muttered something, then walked forward and asked:

"Where are Bai Yuan and the others?"

The maid who was asked had been to Taiyi Palace with Bai Yuan before, so she recognized the identities of Chisongzi and others, and quickly replied: "The master is waiting for you in the room, please follow me."

Chi Songzi nodded slightly and followed her into the house.

On the way, he also looked at the girls guarding here, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw with his own eyes how Bai Yuan had quietly trained so many experts.

In fact, except for Qingxuzi and Jingxuzi who were not too surprised because they had seen Bai Yuan's maids before, the other elders of Tianzong were already in great shock.

On the one hand, they were surprised at the strength of these girls, some of whom were even stronger than the Tianzong disciples who had practiced for many years.

On the other hand, I envy Bai Yuan's good fortune. With so many beautiful girls, can he handle it at night?

But they are Taoist elders after all, and they are very good at both mind-nourishing skills and facial expression control, so on the surface they remain calm and serious, and there is not even the slightest change in their facial expressions.

When they came into the house, Chi Songzi and others saw Bai Yuan lying in the middle of a pile of white papers, drawing with a pen, and no one knew what he was doing.

Ningyan and others were helping Bai Yuan organize the things he had drawn.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Yuan looked up and waved, "Master, you are here. Find a place to sit and wait for me."

Chisongzi and others looked at each other, sat down aside, and then the maids brought them tea and cakes.

They were also very patient and didn't rush anyone. They just sat there quietly drinking tea and waited for Bai Yuan to finish his work.

After a while, Bai Yuan finished drawing the last drawing.

He put down his pen, stretched, then stood up and walked towards Chisongzi and others.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

Seeing that he had finished, Chisongzi and others had almost finished their tea.

"It's okay, but you made such a big noise when you came back, and even had people seal off this place and impose martial law. What's going on?"

"Well, you will understand after looking at these drawings."

Bai Yuan asked Ningyan to hand over the drawings he had just drawn to them.

After taking the blueprint, Chi Songzi and the others gathered together and took a look. When they saw the shape of the repeating crossbow on the first piece of white paper, their expressions all changed.

This turned out to be a blueprint of a crossbow, and it seemed to be a style they had never seen before?

They flipped through the pages quickly, and the further they read, the more solemn their expressions became, until they all gasped.

"What a terrifying crossbow!"

Chisongzi and his companions were well-informed people, so they naturally knew what this thing meant.

If placed on the battlefield, this thing would be a sure-fire killer!

In today's world, among the seven countries, the two countries with the most sophisticated skills in bows and crossbows are Qin and Han.

Among them, South Korea once had the reputation of "the strongest bows and crossbows in the world all come from South Korea."

At that time, Korea relied on the Yiyang Iron Mine and the Shangdang area's sophisticated iron smelting technology. The Han crossbow, Han sword, and Han armor could be said to be the best weapons and equipment among the seven countries.

The bows and crossbows equipped by the Korean army are said to have a range of up to 600 steps. If a target is far away, its chest will be pierced; if a target is close, its heart will be pierced by an arrow. This is the best among all the other countries.

This is one of the reasons why South Korea, located in a place surrounded by wars, has been able to remain strong for so many years.

After taking over Yiyang and Shangdang, which originally belonged to Han, Qin absorbed Han's bow and crossbow manufacturing technology and developed the Qin crossbow, which was not inferior to Han's crossbow. Therefore, Qin's bow and crossbow technology is also top-notch today.

However, compared with the crossbow depicted on the blueprint that Bai Yuan took out, both the Qin crossbow and the Han crossbow are not worth mentioning.

After Chi Songzi and others looked at the drawings given by Bai Yuan, they could already imagine how terrifying this thing was, even though they hadn't seen the real thing yet.

"Junior brother, when did you even get involved in mechanical engineering? Where did you learn it from?"

"I didn't go to learn it. I am naturally gifted and learned it without a teacher."

Bai Yuan smiled softly and loaded the system entry, which was naturally a gift from him.

Hearing this, Chi Songzi looked at him suspiciously, but he did not delve into where the blueprint came from. He asked with concern, "Is the power of this thing really the same as described in the blueprint?"

"Of course, I have another test product here, you can take a look at it, brother."

Bai Yuan took out the wooden crossbow he had made earlier.

Chi Songzi and others took the crossbow and looked at it carefully.

Several people were amazed.

This repeating crossbow is very different from the crossbows they have seen before. Most ordinary crossbows only have three parts: the arm, the bow, and the mechanism, while this repeating crossbow has a box underneath for arrows.

Chi Songzi touched it lightly and found that the box seemed to be able to be taken apart, so he gave Bai Yuan an inquiring look.

Bai Yuan smiled and pointed at a mechanism on the crossbow.

Chisongzi understood and pushed it gently. Then everyone heard a click. The connection between the quiver and the crossbow arm was actually loosened and it was taken out with a slight pull.

This structure made Chi Songzi and others open their eyes wide.

"The design of this quiver is simply ingenious! Even without it, it will not affect the use of this crossbow, and with it, it will be even more powerful. Junior brother, are you really a genius in mechanical engineering?"

They all saw how ingeniously designed the quiver was.

This is a completely independent component. After using up the arrows inside, if they have other quivers with them, they can directly replace it, saving the effort of loading arrows.

This design further enhances the firepower of the crossbow.

If you are well prepared, you can defeat a hundred enemies alone.

You don't need too many people, just a few hundred. If they are all equipped with such crossbows and enough quivers, even an army of tens of thousands can be defeated!

Chapter 262: The Six-Nation Alliance

The Taoists suddenly closed their mountain because the matter of the repeating crossbows was of too serious a nature. Chisongzi and his companions planned to make a fortune in silence, so they first made some repeating crossbows to arm themselves.

So the Taoist foundry, which had never been open before, suddenly became bustling.

All the foundry masters affiliated with Taoism were summoned together. They were taught some drawings of the parts of Bai's Crossbow, and then carried out the standardized casting work.

The name of Bai's Crossbow was decided by Chisongzi, Taoist elders, Ningyan and others.

Although Bai Yuan really wanted to say that this repeating crossbow had a name, it was obvious that Chi Songzi and others did not quite understand what the so-called 32mm semi-automatic meant.

Bai Yuan himself was too lazy to explain.

And after he saw that Ning Yan and others seemed to care very much about the name of Bai's Crossbow, he just let them do as they pleased.

Because this repeating crossbow was so important, Chisongzi and others attached great importance to the matter and dispatched many Tianzong disciples to garrison and patrol near the foundry.

Without the permission of the Sect Master or Bai Yuan, no one is allowed to approach the foundry. The Tianzong disciples who are responsible for guarding the foundry have the right to execute on the spot anyone who trespasses into the foundry.

The defense here is as strict as that of the royal palaces of various countries. It can be said that not even a fly can fly in.

The casters responsible for casting the parts of Bai's repeating crossbow are also under strict supervision. Each of them can only be responsible for casting their own parts, and absolutely no communication is allowed between them.

So these foundries all knew that they were casting something very important, but they had no idea what it was.

They may have a high level of attainment in weapon casting, but they know little about mechanical engineering.

What's more, the mechanism of the Bai family's repeating crossbow was very complicated, so it was even more difficult for them to think of it in unison.

......

The capital of Zhao State, at the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Prime Minister Guo Kai received a secret letter from the State of Qin, and the contents of the letter shocked him.

This is a deal, a deal with huge profits but also very high risks.

After thinking again and again, he finally quietly ran to Pang Nuan's mansion and met him in private.

Not long ago, Pang Nuan, a fourth-generation veteran of the State of Zhao who was nearly eighty years old, made a comeback and replaced Li Mu as the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army again. He played an important role in the State of Zhao.

The next day, Pang Nuan went to the palace to see King Zhao, hoping to persuade him to launch a joint alliance to unite all countries to attack Qin.

"Qin has been very active in the past few years, attacking Han and Wei several times in succession. It is obvious that it has recovered its strength. Its evil ambitions are obvious. We must be on guard!"

In the hall, Pang Nuan bowed and loudly spoke of the threat from the Qin State.

King Zhao frowned slightly.

"Qin is very powerful. Now that they have no intention of attacking us, why should we take the initiative to provoke them?"

"Your Majesty! I have learned from this old minister that the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, is about to be crowned, but the power of Qin is still in the hands of others. I think the internal situation must be unstable. If we take this opportunity to attack Qin, we will definitely be able to achieve results and perhaps recapture the Shangdang area!"

After hearing Pang Nuan's words, King Zhao couldn't help but think for a while.

The importance of Shangdang is self-evident, not to mention that this place has special significance for the State of Zhao.

The Battle of Changping was originally triggered by the affiliation of Shangdang. The State of Zhao lost a full 400,000 young and strong men in that war and suffered an extremely heavy blow.

No Zhao citizen could forget that tragic war.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that King Zhao did feel the threat from the State of Qin. Han and Wei had been beaten by the State of Qin in recent years and could not raise their heads.

In addition, the sudden death of Prince Xinling Wei Wuji of Wei meant that no one could suppress the arrogance of Qin.

The internal political situation of Qin is unstable now. It can be said that Qin is at its weakest. If they do not take action, then after the internal struggle of Qin is over and Ying Zheng successfully takes power, they may never have such a good opportunity again.

At that time, how should Zhao resist the Qin army?

After considering various issues, King Zhao finally agreed to Pang Nuan's proposal of forming an alliance and sent envoys to the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu to persuade them to join the alliance.

The Zhao State was so eager to attack Xianyang immediately that it even burned down the Qin State's ancestral temple.

But they were not stubborn. They all knew that Zhao's strength alone was not enough to compete with Qin.

If you really go there, it means you are delivering food!

Soon, other countries responded.

There was no doubt about the two countries of Han and Wei. Just like in the previous four alliances, they joined the alliance almost without hesitation.

After all, on the surface, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei are of the same blood.

Zhao State launches a joint vertical alliance, and South Korea and Wei will respond positively.

In addition to this apparent factor, there are of course other reasons.

In the past few years, the State of Qin had frequently launched military operations against them and occupied a lot of territories that originally belonged to them. The King of Han and the King of Wei were both very angry!

Now that they have the opportunity to take revenge on Qin, they naturally will not miss it.

The State of Chu was initially reluctant to join the Hezuo Alliance.

After all, after Ying Zheng was crowned as a royal heir, he would marry the daughter of the Chu royal family as his queen. The two countries had a marriage relationship, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to join the coalition.
