Liang Xin’an said nothing, but simply stared at Jin Fu intently, only sighing deeply after a long ti.
"Truly, a hero erges from the young!"
Liang Xin’an’s exclamation ca from the bottom of his heart.
Because although this machine is extrely simple, the ingenious ideas it exhibits are sothing he himself admires and feels he cannot surpass.
Upon hearing Liang Xin’an’s praise, Jin Fu didn’t react much, but Gui Xuanqing was utterly excited.
Because it was only until just now that he realized, the Liang uncle who had left a profound impression on his childhood, turned out to be an expert from the chanical Sect.
With this realization, his praise seed all the more valuable.
After all, Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu tinkered with this machine precisely to imitate the crossbow arrows of the chanical Sect.
Getting the praise from the original would, of course, have an extraordinary significance.
In contrast, Jin Fu appeared much calr; he just looked at Zhao Ya with a puzzled expression, seemingly wanting to confirm the identity of this person.
Zhao Ya smiled and then introduced, "This is Liang Xin’an from the chanical Sect."
Upon hearing that he was from the chanical Sect, Jin Fu’s expression changed instantly, looking sowhat apprehensive.
Liang Xin’an didn’t mind these reactions at all; to avoid scaring him, Liang Xin’an even rarely showed a slightly ingratiating smile.
"No need to worry, what you’ve done is excellent. I have no other intentions coming here; in fact, if you’re willing, I could even help you improve this machine."
Jin Fu didn’t dare speak, again turning his gaze to Zhao Ya.
Of course, Zhao Ya didn’t reject such a proposal, smiling pleasantly, "Of course there’s no problem, if there’s anything you need, just say it, Azure Dragon Temple will certainly accommodate."
Without any hesitation, Liang Xin’an pointed directly at Jin Fu and Gui Xuanqing.
"I need nothing else, just the two of them."
"Alright!" Zhao Ya agreed without a mont of hesitation, imdiately giving Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu away.
"The two of you should do nothing else during this period, just follow this Lord Liang, do whatever he instructs, got it?"
"Yes!"
Gui Xuanqing and Jin Fu certainly didn’t dare disobey Zhao Ya’s orders, imdiately bowing and agreeing.
"Alright, now that my condition is t, since this is a critical area, everyone unrelated should hurry and leave, so as not to hinder our work."
After his condition was satisfied, Liang Xin’an promptly issued an impatient order to leave.
Zhao Ya didn’t mind, rely chuckled and then left with the others.
He thoroughly understood this type of iron-willed technologist’s nature.
Once sothing they are interested in cos up, everything else becos unimportant imdiately.
This is not the Azure Dragon Temple exploiting him, rather, it is his voluntary request.
Moreover, since Liang Xin’an dared to co, Zhao Ya was confident he couldn’t leave easily in the short term.
At the very least, he had to stay until the crossbow arrow workbench and the production and repair thods of the chanical crossbow were completed.
Gui Heshu was completely bewildered the whole ti.
Although he had the relationship through Gui Xuanqing, Gui Heshu was sure Liang Xin’an wouldn’t go crazy.
But on the way here, Gui Heshu still felt quite apprehensive.
After all, he knew well that Liang Xin’an ca to the Azure Dragon Temple not just for the crossbow team, but also to et Zhao Ya.
So he feared that there would be conflicts again between Liang Xin’an and Zhao Ya.
Unexpectedly, after Liang Xin’an and Zhao Ya t, not only did the situation not escalate, but they quickly reached an agreent.
Liang Xin’an actually decided to stay at the Azure Dragon Temple voluntarily, and it seed he intended to help them complete the crossbow platform before leaving.
This turn of events was completely unexpected for Gui Heshu.
Only after they reached the front yard, he couldn’t help but ask, "Zhao... Young Hero, I apologize, my visit this ti is sudden, and this Liang Xin’an..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Ya directly interrupted him, "No need to be so polite, Uncle Gui."
"Besides, this ti, I must thank you properly."
"Thank ?"
"Yes indeed, if it weren’t for you, Uncle Gui, Liang Xin’an wouldn’t even be here! Moreover, I estimate after this incident, Xuanqing will also face a new opportunity." Zhao Ya smiled.
Gui Heshu, being very clever, imdiately felt a jolt in his heart.
"You an...."
"It’s sothing that can only be understood, not spoken!" Zhao Ya said mysteriously.
Although the Azure Dragon Temple is now closed off, Gui Heshu, as the family of a disciple of the Azure Dragon Temple, visiting was perfectly reasonable.
Therefore, he was quickly taken away, with arrangents for accommodations and other trivial matters promptly made.
Zhao Ya then turned and went to the library.
Upon seeing him, Guo Luming’s first words were,
"Soone from the chanical Sect ca?"
"Yes," Zhao Ya nodded, and then recounted what happened.
After listening, Guo Luming was also silent in thought, speaking only after a long while.
"I know the chanical Technology Departnt, it’s one of the top forces in the chanical Sect, second only to the Celestial Craft Departnt. I didn’t expect this Liang Xin’an to have such a considerable background."
Zhao Ya listened, his mind stirred.
"Master, what are the divisions of forces within the chanical Sect?"
"The chanical Sect is broadly divided into three major forces: the Celestial Craft Departnt, known for their research in chanisms and ambush techniques, the chanical Technology Departnt, known for their research in bow and crossbow chanisms, and the recently rising Thunder and Fire Departnt."
Guo Luming, known as an encyclopedia of all things beyond the world, could narrate any sect’s matters effortlessly.
And upon hearing of the Thunder and Fire Departnt, Zhao Ya’s eyes lit up, as if sothing occurred to him.
Guo Luming also picked up on his thoughts, pondered briefly, then said,
"Ya, I know what you’re thinking. Nowadays, Liang Xin’an, too, is attracted by Jin Fu and Gui Xuanqing’s talents and voluntarily stays at the temple to help. But you mustn’t let your guard down because of this."
"Rember, the chanical Sect is an entity that straddles both right and wrong; its disciples are mostly eccentric, not to be understood by conventional ans."
"So you must be cautious and prudent when interacting with them."
Zhao Ya knew that Guo Luming’s advice was completely out of care for him, so he nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master, I know my limits."
"That’s good. But the people of the chanical Sect also have their charming sides, mainly that as long as you can grasp their interests, they will behave obediently and not make trouble." Guo Luming laughed like an old fox.
Zhao Ya also laughed, smiling like a little fox.
"I understand!"
Night fell.
After hastily finishing dinner, Liang Xin’an didn’t rest for even a mont before diving directly into modifying the crossbow arrow workbench.
"The way you two are thinking is correct, but many aspects are still dealt with too immaturely. For example, here, why unnecessarily add an extra gear?" Liang Xin’an said.
"But if there’s no gear here, how would the force be transmitted?" Jin Fu asked, frowning in thought.
Gui Xuanqing seed to realize sothing, suddenly brightened and said, "Sir, are you suggesting that they could be fixed together directly here?"
Liang Xin’an revealed a satisfied smile, "No need to call ’sir,’ just call Liang."
"You guessed correctly, that’s exactly what I ant."
Jin Fu also suddenly realized but quickly raised another question.
"But if we do it this way, the pressure on the gear behind will inevitably increase greatly."
"Given the present situation, gears need replacing every day; wouldn’t it be even more unusable then?"
"So, we need to improve the craft; the gears at many key parts need to be replaced with iron ones."
Then the three of them had a very detailed discussion about the working principles of this crossbow arrow workbench.
By the ti they finished discussing, it was already late at night.
The three of them, however, had no sense of sleep, so they took advantage of the montum to start disassembling the workbench.
This kept them busy until the early hours of the morning.
When Zhao Ya brought food and wine over, the three of them were covered in oil and gri, engaged in a heated debate over the details, seemingly akin to arguing.
"There must be an additional corner here!" Liang Xin’an insisted.
"No, doing so would require major changes in many places," Jin Fu argued tenaciously.
"What do you know? Adding a corner here will not only make it look better, but also make the work much easier!" Gui Xuanqing sided with Liang Xin’an.
Zhao Ya listened outside, amused, but still entered with the food box.
"Stop arguing for a mont and have sothing to eat."
Only then did the three stop their debate; they were indeed exhausted after a night of work, so they turned and sat down to eat and drink heartily.
Zhao Ya accompanied them at the side, and after they had almost finished eating and drinking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Liang Xin’an.
"Brother Liang, can such a thing be made by your chanical Sect?"
