"This...could this be the legendary Zhuge Crossbow?"

Seeing nine steel balls shot out one after another, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But just as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Cheng Yaojin, "You silly boy, Zhuge Liannu is a crossbow, and this thing is obviously a bow, how can they be the same?"

Cheng Chumo: ...

Is now the time to nitpick?

Regardless of whether it is a crossbow or a bow, as long as it can fire ten shots in a row, it can be called a magic weapon, right?

It's just that this thing is a bit light and soft when you pull it, and its power is not very good.

Just as he was about to express his thoughts, the compound bow in his hand had already fallen into Cheng Yaojin's hands.

As soon as he pulled it, Cheng Yaojin's brows furrowed. "It's light, too light, just like a baby's toy."

Zhou Yu: ...

Lao Cheng, are you polite?

"That's right. If we were on the battlefield, it would be difficult to even penetrate leather armor."

Cheng Chumo also echoed.

Upon hearing this, Li Er took it and tried it immediately.

After discovering that this compound bow was indeed very light, his brows immediately furrowed.

Seeing that the compound bow was being despised, Zhou Yu immediately got angry.

"The draw weight of this compound bow is the initial setting when it leaves the factory. It doesn't mean its maximum draw weight is only 35 pounds."

"What do you mean? Can this thing be adjusted?"

"Of course. The initial draw weight of this bow is about half a stone. After adjustment, it can be adjusted to a maximum of one and a half stones."

"Are you serious?"

"Just try adjusting it and you'll know."

Having said that, Zhou Yu immediately began to make adjustments quickly according to the method taught by the merchant.

The pulling force is adjusted to the minimum for your own convenience. Do you really think that this is the level of modern industry?

Zhou Yu muttered to himself, but his hands did not slow down at all.

He adjusted the tension to the maximum, took out ten steel balls and loaded them in, then handed them to Li Er and said, "Alright."

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin next to him couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, let me, Old Cheng, try."

"Let your son try it! It'll be good for comparison."

Li Er did not agree, but pointed at Cheng Chumo next to him.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo immediately bowed and agreed.

Then, without paying any attention to his father's resentful look, he put his waist and horse together and pulled the bowstring.

whoosh~

After a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a steel ball shot fiercely into the tree trunk in front.

Then came the second, the third...

When there were only three steel balls left, Cheng Chumo directly chose Lianfa.

Bang bang bang~

There were three more muffled sounds, and the tree trunk opposite, as big as a baby's arm, broke directly in half.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"How does it feel?"

Li Er spoke first, his eyes full of joy.

Cheng Chumo came back to his senses from shock when he heard the question.

He fondled the bow, then excitedly said, "Your Majesty, this is a magical item! Not only does it allow for continuous firing, but most importantly, it can save at least 70% to 80% of your energy when not firing."

Cheng Chumo came from a family of generals.

When the pulling force was light just now, I didn't notice this problem.

As the tension of the compound bow was adjusted to the maximum, the difference immediately became apparent.

"Young Master, reload quickly and let me, Old Cheng, have a try."

After listening to Cheng Chumo's story, Cheng Yaojin suddenly became excited.

You know, drawing a bow and shooting an arrow is actually not difficult for most people.

After all, the process of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow only takes a moment.

As long as you have enough explosive power, shooting an arrow is not difficult.

For an archer, the most difficult thing is to stay ready to shoot.

That is to say, pull the bow to ensure that the arrow can be shot out at any time.

Even the most elite archers cannot maintain this state for a long time.

If a compound bow can really save 70% to 80% of the energy when not shooting, it would be a huge blessing for archers.

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin didn't believe him, Zhou Yu simply handed the steel ball to him.

Seeing the steel ball handed to him by Zhou Yu, Cheng Yaojin was not polite either.

Just now, when Zhou Yu was reloading, he saw it clearly from the side.

At this time, he took the steel balls and completed the loading quickly.

Whoosh whoosh~

After another burst of shooting, Cheng Yaojin also became excited, "Your Majesty, this thing is truly a divine weapon. I beg the whole army to equip it."

Zhou Yu: ???

What the hell?

The entire army's equipment?

Old Cheng, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

I am just an ordinary person, but you really think of yourself as a super-time air force fire dealer?

Whether it is a compound bow or a crossbow, if you buy it as a hobby, generally no one will care.

But if they are purchased in large quantities of hundreds or thousands, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant departments.

By then, I guess I will be invited for tea.

As for doing this abroad.

If you have that kind of energy, you might as well pursue "truth"!

"Why? Is it difficult?"

Li Er naturally saw Zhou Yu's expression.

Seeing that his eyes were almost rolling to the sky, he couldn't help but frown and ask.

"Unless we build our own factories, it's simply unrealistic to equip the entire army. Once we build a factory, it will inevitably be supervised by relevant departments. So small-scale equipment is fine, but large-scale equipment is out of the question."
