    Ai Wen's words are naturally mixed with a lot of water. He is so confident. The high precision in the design of the repeating crossbow is only superficial. The extensive use of Avila alloy in various key parts is his real confidence.  Unless those guys who make imitations have the courage to dismantle more than four machine crossbows, take out the parts made of precious alloys, and re-cast them, they will not be able to achieve the shooting effect of the repeating crossbow in his hand.  Basic materials are the key to restricting the performance of technology. The long-term transportation and purchase restrictions imposed by the United States on China made Aiwen understand this truth very early on.  If there are no qualified materials, even if you send spies to steal the entire set of design drawings of the other party's high-end equipment, you will not be able to produce qualified products.  Unfortunately, Quito is not a professional weapons dealer, so after listening to Aiwen's suggestion, he felt that what he said made sense. If repeating crossbows were really difficult to be counterfeited, a higher price would not be intolerable. Compared with the price  The expensive and heavy heavy crossbow, which can also pose a threat to third-level professionals, is much more cost-effective in combat.  However, due to the habit developed by following Joanna for a long time, Kido continued to give various reasons to strive for more benefits for his side.  Ivan didn't get too entangled in these aspects. Apart from the fact that he had to pay half a million gold coins in cash, he made considerable concessions on other conditions. In the end, the two finally reached a verbal agreement on most of the conditions of the deal.  As for the formal agreement, it can only be signed after Quito has seen the test results with his own eyes.  Aiwen didn¡¯t have much time. After the meeting between the two came to a rough conclusion, they left the small living room and walked out of the cave.  "Evan. I'm very surprised. Although there are quite a lot of large-denomination transactions between us, half a million gold coins is not a small number after all. How can you be sure that we can take it out in one go?" Walking on the road  , Kido played with the repeating crossbow in his hand.  He asked curiously.  "A normal person should ask this kind of thing as soon as possible, right?" Aiwen led the way casually: "Of course, considering your careless character, I won't say anything. In fact, this is not  It's not an unexpected thing. When I discovered that there is indeed a connection between Sindra and you, I felt that the wealth in your hands must be greater than I imagined - I even felt that Miss Johanna had left Sri Lanka.  The Qi family should have been penniless! " "Ah, that's right, the Qi family is not such a generous family!" Kido nodded in agreement.  But there was no confirmation on Alvin's guess.  After a while, the two of them walked out of the cave and followed the stone road to the craftsman area planned by Ivan in the Lion Heart Valley.  This place has not yet formed a large scale, but there are already seven or eight blacksmith shops in operation. Most of the tools in these blacksmith shops are incomplete, only basic stoves and hammers and felts.  But it¡¯s still okay to make some minor tinkering with weapons and armor.  Ivan first took over the repeating crossbow that Kido had been playing with and tried firing it a few times. After Kido nodded and said there was no problem, he took it apart and removed the large parts such as the shell.  Regardless, he directly placed the dozens of core parts in front of Kido and motioned for him to check.  How could Quito have such patience? After taking a rough look at a dozen relatively delicate parts, he stood up.  He said that he had finished checking and Alvin could start the experiment.  So Alvin picked out some of the rougher parts from the dozens of parts and gave them to the blacksmith here, one or two for each person, and they were quickly divided.  The remaining seemingly more delicate parts were handed over to the accompanying mages. These mages all had experience in processing parts of alchemical constructs, and there was no problem in processing these parts.  Regarding Aiwen¡¯s allocation, Kido saw it in his eyes and showed no dissatisfaction on his face.  ¡° This kind of processing method will naturally cost money if it is carried out on a large scale, but if it is just a trial production of a sample, the processing time can be shortened as much as possible.  It took about half an hour for all the parts to be processed one after another. After checking the new parts one by one with the original ones, Quito felt that there was no difference, and finally nodded that the parts were qualified.  Next, it¡¯s time to assemble the parts and test the actual effect.  Considering the issue of avoiding suspicion, Alvin did not do it himself, but just guided Kido from the side on how to assemble the parts.  Although Kido has no similar experience, as a fourth-level warrior, it has become an instinct to flexibly control his hands. After the initial discomfort, he has been able to perform like a skilled crossbowman.  After more than twenty parts were assembled together, Quito picked up a piece again, followed Alvin's instructions, and usedHe inserted it, but his hand paused in mid-air because the part did not insert into the groove as he intended.  "Stuck?" Kido brought the part in front of him, and then took the original part, and compared it carefully. Alvin had already told him that this kind of problem would occur, so he was not too surprised.  After observing for a long time, Kido pulled out an enchanted dagger from his waist and started cutting gently on the part. As the enchanted dagger rotated, strips of metal wires as thin as hair were peeled off from the part.  "At first glance, there is not much difference, but upon closer inspection, the two parts are indeed somewhat different. Just such a slight difference prevents the parts from being put together smoothly. This is what you call high precision.  Design?" Kido asked curiously, then picked up the remade part and pressed it into the groove again.  The part swayed slightly, but it was only halfway in before it got stuck and could no longer go all the way in.  "What's going on? Is there any difference between these two parts that I haven't noticed?" Kido was stunned. He didn't believe that with his eyes, he could miss something.  "It's not that there are any problems with this part, but that the parts that were assembled before originally had problems, large and small. These problems have accumulated until now, and have produced huge errors in size, even if fully qualified parts are used.  The parts can no longer be put together." Ivan looked at him coldly for a moment, and then explained after seeing that Kido couldn't find the problem.  Quito was stunned for a moment, and tried to take the original part and press it into the groove, but it turned out that he couldn't press it to the bottom. In this way, it is understandable that the new part that has been modified from the original part cannot be pressed to the bottom.  "There is such a thing!" Kido put the old parts back on the table, looked at the grooves for a few times, and after a few gestures, he used a dagger to cut off a large amount of metal wires on the new parts. Each time he cut off  With some metal wire, he tried to insert the part into the groove. After several attempts, he finally successfully pressed the part into the bottom of the groove.  However, this part is just the beginning. Every subsequent part encountered various problems, big and small, when it was assembled and put in. Kido wielded the enchanted short knife and kept processing it. Under the guidance of Alvin,  Try not to make too many modifications to the parts, so as not to affect the performance of the final product. It took nearly an hour to finally put all the parts together, leaving only one shell that was not installed.  Quito picked up the semi-finished product in his hand and couldn't help but look at it. He always felt that there was something wrong with it.  "Okay, can you put the shell on?" Ivan waited for a while and finally asked.  "Ah, thisokay!" Kido frowned and read it several times, but still couldn't find the problem, so he could only nod.  When putting on the casing, parts got stuck again. Fortunately, the casing does not require precision. Quito just cut it a little and inserted the assembled semi-finished product, then closed the casing and drove in rivets.  .  "Now you can test-fire!" Ivan suggested from the side.  "Although it hasn't started yet, but seeing your expression, I feel that this test shooting will not be successful!" Kido frowned, then he took a crossbow arrow and put it on the string, and started to pull the lever with his other hand.  It made an unpleasant squeaking sound while moving down. Kido felt the increasing resistance from his palm, and looked at the crossbow string that was only halfway pulled. He began to doubt that if he continued to exert more force, this metal  The tie rod may be broken directly.  "It has no labor-saving effect at all. Is this a problem caused by the insufficient accuracy of the parts?" Kido turned to Alvin and asked.  "Probably, you put the parts together one by one by yourself, you should know it best!" Ivan said.  "Well, I can probably understand" Kido nodded. He did not use the lever anymore, but directly pulled down the crossbow string with his hand, then aimed at a stationary target two hundred meters away and pulled the trigger.  trigger.  "Eh?" The trigger got stuck halfway through, and the crossbow string didn't respond at all. Kido's expression turned extremely ugly. After forcing his fingers a few times, the trigger finally broke through the obstacle and successfully fired the crossbow arrow.  It was launched, but in this way, the power exerted on the crossbow was greatly reduced, and it flew less than fifty meters before falling to the ground.  Looking at the crossbow arrow that fell to the ground, Kido was speechless. This was already a failed product!  However, this repeating crossbow was built one by one by many blacksmiths and mages based on the original parts. It was also slightly adjusted by Quito himself using an enchanted short knife. Not to mention the material cost, the manpower cost alone was nearly  One hundred gold, if??If we continue to improve this repeating crossbow to address the current problems, I'm afraid two hundred and fifty gold is really not too much.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Journal for recommendation
