"This is Cotton Ironwood. Although it is wood and has a loose and porous texture, its hardness is not inferior to hundred-refined iron. It should be very good... Um, what is it called?" Elder Huang suddenly paused and thought about the vocabulary.
"Energy absorption." Gu Sheng has been observing Elder Huang's techniques attentively, and naturally knows what he wants to say, but the term energy absorption is too unfamiliar to Elder Huang, and he can't remember it for a while, Gu Sheng reminded him smoothly.
"Oh, yes! Energy absorption! Judging from your description, the shrapnel inside is mainly for dividing and blocking sound. I specifically chose Cotton Ironwood. It is not only strong enough but also has a good energy absorption effect. The finished product should have a better sound attenuation effect."
After the shrapnel was made and installed, Elder Huang pulled out a dark green-looking fluffy algae plant from the pile of materials on the table.
"This is a special kind of seaweed in the sea. It has a soft texture and many small holes in it. It is usually used as a buffer material in the more precise parts of forging large instruments. I think its energy-absorbing effect should be good."
Gu Sheng picked it up and squeezed it. It felt very soft, a bit like a sponge from the previous life.
Elder Huang Although he is old, he is quick and accurate with his hands. It only takes a few minutes to install all the internal materials of the second-generation silencer!
"Stone Shattering Crossbow Give it to me!"
Gu Sheng handed over Stone Shattering Crossbow, and Elder Huang installed the second-generation silencer with eyes shining.
Elder Huang is worthy of being the forger of Yellow Grade High Rank. This craftsmanship is much better than that of Gu Sheng. Putting aside the effect, the appearance alone looks much more exquisite than that of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng was also eager to know how effective the second-generation silencer was, so he hurriedly pulled out an arrow and handed it to Elder Huang.
"Elder Huang, let's go back quickly and try the effect!"
Elder Huang opened the cover of the silencer, loaded the arrow and said with a smile, "What are you going back for? Just try it here!"
As he said that, he raised the Stone Shattering Crossbow in his hand and pointed it at the wall to trigger the crossbow. Gu Sheng also didn't expect Elder Huang to be so tough at his age.
This forging room is obviously special, the walls are surrounded by thick granite!
The strength of granite is very high, and it is impossible to shoot through it with the power of Stone Shattering Crossbow. If it is an ordinary arrow, the powerful force will directly explode the arrow at the moment of collision. But the problem is that the Gu Sheng arrow is special. The arrow body is made of hundreds of refined iron, with good hardness and elasticity. If it is shot, it will bounce back!
The room was only twenty or thirty meters wide at its widest. If it bounced back from this distance, it would be very powerful. At the very least, Gu Sheng was not sure that it would be able to catch it without damage. When Elder Huang pulled the crossbow, Gu Sheng thought out of the blue and used a sliding shovel to get under the casting platform on the side.
There are granite supports on the front and back of the casting table, which is relatively safe.
"Poof"
Stone Shattering Crossbow made a soft sound, and the arrow shot out quickly. When it collided with the granite wall, it bounced back with a bang. The arrow bounced back in the direction where Gu Sheng was standing just now.
The arrows that bounced back were nailed to the shelf at the back. Fortunately, the shelves were filled with large pieces of heavy metal, otherwise they would have to be overturned.
"It's done! It's done! Hahaha..."
Elder Huang's eyes sparkled, he looked at the silencer in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and laughed happily.
Gu Sheng also hurriedly climbed out from under the forging table.
He could hear it clearly just now. The sound of the crossbow when it was fired was already very small. He could only hear a little bit from being so close. The sound sounded like a secret fart, and almost only the operator himself could hear it!
This effect has exceeded Gu Sheng's initial expectations for the silencer!
"Open it quickly and take a look inside!"
There is no need for Gu Sheng to remind Elder Huang that he has already opened the lid to see what's going on inside.
The spacers of Cotton Ironwood are intact, but they are a little hot to touch. The seaweed in the filling has some burnt color and some wear and tear. Looking at it like this, the seaweed filling will have to be replaced after firing up to twenty arrows, otherwise the sound insulation effect will be much worse.
Gu Sheng is also very excited at this time! The successful production of the silencer can greatly enhance the effectiveness of Stone Shattering Crossbow in combat, which will be very helpful for their subsequent hunting opportunities!
Elder Huang is also very happy at this time! In fact, he has always felt that the power of the bow and crossbow weapon is not weaker than that of ordinary swords, axes, and axes, and it also has the effect of long-range shooting, so it should also become the main weapon. However, the bow and crossbow weapon has a big drawback: the more powerful it is, the louder the sound! Many people buy bows and crossbows for sneak attacks or rear output. Isn't this huge sound actively revealing their position?
This is also the reason why the bow and crossbow weapon has always been popular but not popular!
But things are different now. The emergence of silencers will completely change this situation and infinitely amplify the advantages of crossbow weapons! Elder Huang knows that the emergence of silencers will set off a craze for crossbow weapons. This is a huge business opportunity!
Gu Sheng was suddenly in a dilemma after a brief period of happiness. He almost forgot that he had no involvement in the material or forging of this second-generation silencer. Strictly speaking, the second-generation silencer had little to do with him.
The materials used in the second-generation silencer are valuable, especially the Deep Sea Sinking Silver used to build the main body, which is the forging material of Yellow Grade Low Rank. With Gu Sheng's current financial resources, he simply cannot afford it!
Gu Sheng was currently hesitating on how to communicate with Elder Huang so that he could temporarily lend him the second-generation silencer on credit.
Elder Huang couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Sheng's frowning face, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you look unhappy!"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Can you give me this silencer on credit for the time being, and I will pay it back to you after I make money for a while! Don't worry, I am a disciple of the Saint Pill Sect and I will never run out of orders!"
Elder Huang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and directly returned Stone Shattering Crossbow to him. "Credit for what? In order to solve the problem of silencing bow and crossbow weapons, I have worked hard for more than ten years and still can't come up with a good way. If it weren't for you today, I don't know how much time I would have wasted! Although these materials are valuable, they are too cheap compared to my time! I will give this to you!"
Gu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Elder Huang repeatedly.
Although Gu Sheng did provide ideas and ideas, there is no such thing as intellectual property in this world. Besides, Elder Huang is not only Yellow Grade High Rank's foundry master, but also a master of the Marrow Refining Realm. If he is really unreasonable, Gu Sheng can't help it.
Elder Huang was in a good mood after having solved the problem that had troubled him for more than ten years. After rummaging on the counter for a while, he took out some forged parts, quickly assembled the parts, and soon made what looked like a crossbow.
A quarter of an hour later, a brand new crossbow appeared in Elder Huang's hand. Its appearance and size were similar to Stone Shattering Crossbow, but its power was definitely much stronger than Stone Shattering Crossbow. Because Gu Sheng has just witnessed the production process of Elder Huang, the materials used in the bowstring and fuselage of this new crossbow are much better than those of Stone Shattering Crossbow.
When Elder Huang took the second-generation silencer from Gu Sheng and installed it on the new crossbow, it fit perfectly, as if it was customized!
"Arrows!"
Gu Sheng picked up the previous arrow and handed it to Elder Huang before getting under the table again. Elder Huang grabbed him by the collar and said with a smile, "Just stand behind me."
Gu Sheng nodded and carefully hid his body behind Elder Huang.
The arrows shot by Stone Shattering Crossbow are so terrifying when they bounce back, not to mention the new crossbow made by Elder Huang. Gu Sheng cherishes his life very much and does not dare to be careless.
"Poof!"
The sound made by the arrow this time was a little louder than the previous one, but it didn't matter. Although it was the same arrow this time, the power was very different!
This time, the arrow did not bounce back but shot directly into the hard granite wall. When Gu Sheng came to the edge of the wall and saw that the entire arrow was almost two-thirds of the way in, he couldn't help but take a breath!
"Hiss! I'm afraid Silver Bone Realm will shake his head after seeing this power!"
Elder Huang opened his mouth and smiled, "As long as you shoot accurately, Silver Bone Realm's people will be crippled even if they are hit! This is mainly because of your limited strength, otherwise I wouldn't mind doing it for you. You build a Yellow Grade Low Rank treasure crossbow. Come to me when you break through to the Gold Bone Realm, and I will give you one! Thank you for helping me solve my problem for more than ten years!"
As he spoke, Elder Huang threw the new crossbow in his hand to Gu Sheng.
Although this crossbow is not a treasure, Gu Sheng has seen many of the materials used in it on the materials list Qingqing gave him, and they are all valuable. The cost of this crossbow alone is estimated to be more than 50,000 taels!
This is only the material cost. If you add in the labor and the final product is sold outside, Gu Sheng estimates that it will cost at least one hundred thousand taels to complete!
Gu Sheng took over the new crossbow and couldn't put it down.
"You can do it yourself! I'm going to work first! I still have some filling materials here, just get them yourself."
After Elder Huang left, Gu Sheng took some seaweed for backup and then left the casting room and followed Qingqing back to the first floor.
This time Qingqing looked at Gu Sheng with a little more curiosity and respect. She has worked for the Mu's Merchant Guild in Saint Pill City for so many years, and Gu Sheng is the first person besides Elder Huang to enter his forging room!
The blacksmith's forging room and the alchemist's alchemy room are like a maiden's boudoir. It is impossible for people who are not very close friends to enter!
At least Qingqing remembers clearly that when a person from the main line of the Mu Family came down from the headquarters of Mu Shi Trading Company and wanted to go in for a visit, he was ruthlessly rejected by Elder Huang. He tried to force his way in, but was beaten by Elder Huang until he cried for his father and mother. Finally, after the Mu's Merchant Guild headquarters found out about the incident, they sent an elder to torture the man and apologize to Elder Huang.
It can be seen that Elder Huang has recognized Gu Sheng in his heart!
This is an incredible thing!
Elder Huang Although Elder Huang seems to be quite old, the lifespan of a warrior is actually much longer than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people can live to be seventy or eighty years old, but warriors are different. Even Blood Refining Realm warriors can still be strong and strong as long as they live to be over a hundred years old! Marrow Refining Realm It is common for warriors to live to be one hundred and fifty years old. It is also common for people who are willing to spend money to maintain their bodies to live to be two hundred years old.
Elder Huang is only ninety-two years old now, so he is still in his prime!
Elder Huang was also a famous forging genius when he was young. He successfully created his first treasure when he was thirty years old! Later, after joining the Mushi Chamber of Commerce, the level of weapon refining improved rapidly. It only took twenty years to independently create the treasure Yellow Grade High Rank, and the success rate was extremely high! This also made him famous and became a special enshrinement of the Mu's Merchant Guild!
Elder Huang's skills have been honed to the extreme at this stage of Yellow Grade High Rank. According to rumors, if one day he can obtain the Xuan-level illustrated book, he can successfully be promoted to the Xuan-level caster!
Although you can also make a casting illustration by yourself, it is a very difficult thing. The process of making the illustration is very complicated. There are too many things that need to be conceived and perfected during the design. The difficulty is like cutting a mountain and breaking a river, which is beyond the reach of anyone!
Casting illustrations, like alchemy recipes, are basically passed down from ancient times.
Although Mu's Merchant Guild also has a mysterious level illustrated book, things of this level are naturally regarded as the foundation of the Mu's Merchant Guild, and of course they will not be taken out casually. They also communicated with Elder Huang and let Elder Huang enter it. The Zumu family became one of their own, so that they could give him the Mysterious Level Illustrated Book for study. However, Elder Huang did not want to have too much involvement with these so-called wealthy families. He just wanted to forge without being disturbed. This is why he has been stuck at Yellow Grade High Rank for so many years.
Even so, Elder Huang's identity should not be underestimated among Chiyun Prefecture Domain. It is no exaggeration to say that with his skills, he will be treated as a guest wherever he goes.
Being recognized by people like Elder Huang shows that Gu Sheng is also very talented in casting!
Gu Sheng is so young, with good talent in martial arts, excellent talent in casting, and a fairly handsome body and appearance. He is such a high-quality young man! What girl wouldn't like this kind of person? Qingqing looked at Gu Sheng with a bit more shyness in his eyes.
Gu Sheng was immersed in the joy of getting a new weapon at this time, and did not notice the subtle changes in Qingqing. Gu Sheng rubbed his hands back and forth on the new crossbow, just like a child getting a new toy.
"Please help me do the math. Do I have to make up the money this time?"
Gu Sheng didn't last long this time. Qingqing quickly handed the bill and the refunded one hundred taels of silver to Gu Sheng.
"You don't need to make up the money this time. This is a refund of your money and bill. Please check it out."
Gu Sheng put the bill and money into his pocket without even looking at it.
"If you need anything else next time, you can come to me directly."
"Definitely!"
After the Mu's Merchant Guild came out, Gu Sheng looked at the star-like patterns on the crossbow and said with a smile, "With this look, let's call you Star Shatterer Crossbow!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but kiss the crossbow before reluctantly putting Star Shatterer Crossbow away.
Star Shatterer Crossbow is very powerful, even Silver Bone Realm's people will have a hard time resisting it. Gu Sheng is very confident for the next hunting operation!
Gu Sheng came out of Saint Pill City and was rushing towards the Saint Pill Sect when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the person he just passed by.
"Hey! Isn't that Mu Qinghe? What a coincidence?"
