After the group came out...
Ye Qingcheng took a vase and placed it about a hundred meters away.
"Qin Mohan, try shooting at this vase now."
"good."
Qin Mohan nodded, then turned on the handle of the vase placed on the ground.
call out!
In an instant, a small arrow shot out from the crossbow, its speed so great that it cut through the air with a sharp and piercing sound.
Immediately afterwards.
The sound of something cutting through the air hadn't even faded yet.
With a bang.
Then I heard the sound of the vase shattering.
this…
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan and the others all gaped in shock.
"How about it?"
Ye Qingcheng looked at Qin Mohan and asked with a smile.
Qin Mohan pursed his lips, then asked, "Is this what the Princess Consort meant by insufficient penetrating power?"
Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Yes! If it were according to my original idea, the arrow should have destroyed the vase and then continued to advance, but unfortunately it didn't."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan's mouth opened slightly, and he glanced at Ye Qingcheng.
My princess! My princess, who are you? How could you look down on such a powerful and terrifying crossbow?
Do you know? If the soldiers in the army saw this crossbow and knew of your disdain, they would definitely think you were wasting a precious resource.
Such a powerful and terrifying crossbow, and you still feel it's not enough? What else do you want?
Qin Mohan was utterly speechless.
"Qin Mohan..."
Seeing Qin Mohan standing there dumbfounded and not saying anything, Ye Qingcheng called out.
"kindness!"
Qin Mohan snapped out of his daze and nodded in response.
"Qin Mohan, what are you thinking about?"
"No, I was thinking that this kind of crossbow is very suitable for self-defense and surprise assassination."
"That's right. When I first designed this crossbow, I also thought it would be small and portable, so that I could hide it and carry it with me."
After trying it again, I felt it lacked power, so I just left it there.
Qin Mohan smiled after hearing this: "Your Highness is probably joking. This small crossbow with a few bars of force is much stronger than a bow and arrow. If you still think it's not enough, then what else do you want?"
"That's right! Your Highness, if this crossbow were brought to the army, I'm afraid all the soldiers would be fighting over it!" Thirteen said speechlessly.
Qinglian and Ningxin nodded in agreement, like chicks nodding: "Yes, yes! We think so too."
Seeing how much they valued this small crossbow, Ye Qingcheng shook her head with a helpless smile.
Wow! If you saw a modern handgun, you'd all be shocked!
That's right. Ye Qingcheng's original design for this crossbow was based on the performance of a pistol, but unfortunately, there weren't enough parts, so it didn't have the effect she wanted.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the group and sighed, "Sigh! You don't understand. Never mind, Qin Mohan, load up some more arrows and try long-range shooting."
"good."
Qin Mohan nodded, took the small arrow that Ye Qingcheng handed him, and then, under Ye Qingcheng's guidance, loaded it into the crossbow.
"How was it? Did you find loading the arrows tedious?"
Qin Mohan nodded: "Yes, indeed. But Your Highness, if we don't close this valve, wouldn't loading the arrows be much faster?"
"That won't do. The main function of this gate is to fix the arrow and ensure its accuracy."
If you don't cock it, forget about firing it; even if you did fire it, without the pressure of air propelling it, it would have absolutely no power.
"Air pressure?"
"Well! It's just... well, it's about the principle. Okay, try it remotely first."
Seeing that Ye Qingcheng didn't want to explain further, Qin Mohan stopped asking and raised his arm, gripping the small crossbow and pulling the handle towards the distance.
With a whoosh.
The arrow shot off into the distance, but its speed noticeably slowed down after traveling only about 300 meters.
Immediately afterwards.
After flying several dozen meters, it crashed into a peach tree and fell to the ground.
kindness?
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan asked in confusion.
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "How is it? Not enough ranged power, huh?"
Qin Mohan nodded, but showed no sign of disdain. Instead, he praised, "Although its ranged attack power is insufficient, it is also a good crossbow for close-range shooting."
"I find it excellent; it's so small and convenient, perfect for self-defense. I just wonder if the Princess Consort might have told me how to make it."
"You want to make one of these small crossbows?"
"Yes! I intend to equip each of my bodyguards with one."
"It is possible, but as you can see, loading arrows with this kind of crossbow is very cumbersome and not suitable for subduing enemies."
"Yes! I know, but it at least has the power to strike at close range, and its lethality is not bad."
"Tch, this is my failed attempt. Of course, if you want it, you might as well get the other kind of three-arrow crossbow. Although its range is not far, its penetrating power and lethality are very strong."
"A three-arrow crossbow?"
"That's right, but it's quite large and not very convenient to carry. Of course, if you're using it to subdue enemies, it's a really good crossbow. It's also easy to load arrows and can fire in rapid succession."
"Can it fire in rapid succession?"
"That's right."
Which one is it?
"Come on, let's go inside."
As Ye Qingcheng spoke, she turned and entered the weapons shop.
Qin Mohan and the others followed them inside.
Immediately afterwards.
Ye Qingcheng then picked up another crossbow from the table.
"This is it. Look, I designed its firing port to have three holes. Just by fastening the bottom plate, it can fire three arrows at once, hitting three enemies at once."
