After completing the design of the composite bow parts, Qian Yucheng brought Ling Yuan to the Spirit Hall's Craftsmen's Department.
However, for safety reasons, he disassembled all the parts blueprints.
They were to be crafted in batches and then assembled at the end.
As for size issues, that was out of the question; with the blueprints in hand, it was simply a matter of copying and crafting directly!
The Spirit Hall's Craftsmen's Department was composed of families with inherited craftsmanship.
It was on par with the Blacksmith Association of Gengxin City.
The Spirit Hall's Craftsmen's Department consisted of four major families: the Iron Clan, the Plating Clan, the Hammer Clan, and the Forging Clan.
The Iron Clan possessed exquisite smelting techniques;
the Plating Clan excelled in the design and manufacture of large-scale weapons;
the Hammer Clan was skilled in the design and manufacture of various technical weapons;
and the Forging Clan was adept at forging techniques, perfectly removing impurities from materials.
They competed and cooperated, designing numerous weapons and equipment for the Spirit Hall.
Qian Yucheng and Ling Yuan arrived at the Craftsmen's Department and found the work area of the Hammer Clan members.
"Greetings, Second Young Master. What brings you here?"
The visitor was the steward in charge, and his attitude was very respectful.
"I designed some parts in my spare time and would like to ask you to help me build them!"
Qian Yucheng said with a smile.
"Second Young Master, please follow me!" The steward led him into a quiet room.
After inviting Qian Yucheng to sit down, the steward respectfully inquired, "What did you design, Second Young Master? May I take a look?"
"Of course!" Qian Yucheng took out a blueprint of the parts and handed it to the steward. The steward
took it and his eyes widened instantly.
This was a completely new way of drawing parts, and its precision was far superior to what they were currently using!
If weapons were designed using this method, the Hammer Clan would be able to design even more intricate parts!
The patriarch's advancement to Divine Craftsman would become much easier!
"Second Young Master, the blueprints!" The steward excitedly handed the blueprints to Qian Yucheng.
"Second Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch the Young Master
right away!" He couldn't make up his mind about this matter; he needed the person in charge to decide!
Qian Yucheng nodded: "Okay, go ahead!"
He assumed the other party was only calling for the Young Master of the Hammer Clan out of respect for Qian Daoliu.
In reality, the Director also had insights into parts design, and Qian Yucheng's drawings showed him a completely new way of drawing.
Such an important matter could only be told to the Young Master first.
The Director went to the forging hall, passed through it, and arrived at the design room, where he found the person he was looking for.
He saw a middle-aged man looking at the drawings and hurriedly said:
"Young Master, good news! The Clan Chief might have a chance to reach the Divine Craftsman level!"
This middle-aged man was none other than Lu Hezheng, the Young Master of the Hammer Clan.
"It's too difficult for Father to break through to the Divine Craftsman level. Unless he finds a new design direction, it's really hard to break through!"
Lu Hezheng sighed, not taking the other party's words to heart, treating them as mere words of comfort.
"No, I wouldn't dare deceive the young master!"
The council member then explained in detail about the blueprints Qian Yucheng had produced.
"A new drawing method that can design more precise parts?!"
Lu Hezheng was agitated and immediately put down the blueprints in his hand.
"Come on, take me there!"
He was very curious about what kind of design Qian Yucheng had.
Could this mysterious second young master be very talented in forging?!
In just five minutes, Qian Yucheng met the visitor.
"Greetings, second young master. May I ask what parts you need designed? I will complete them as quickly as possible!"
Lu Hezheng really wanted to see the blueprints. If they were genuine, he would do it himself!
"Young Clan Leader Lu, you're too kind. You can take a look at the design first before making a decision!"
Qian Yucheng took out the blueprint he had shown the council member earlier and handed it to him.
Lu Hezheng looked at it and saw that the three-dimensional parts seemed to be placed within the blueprint!
The three-dimensional drawing was clearly constructed, perfectly presenting the entire part from all four angles!
He couldn't help but praise, "Second Young Master's design is truly ingenious!"
With this method of drawing, his father, who had long been stuck in a bottleneck, really had a chance to reach the level of a master craftsman!
A godsend!
He calmed his excited heart and said, "The structure of these parts is simple, and it can be completed in half an hour. I wonder how many Second Young Master plans to design?"
"This is just one of the drawings; I still have six left!"
After Qian Yucheng finished speaking, he handed the other drawings to Lu Hezheng.
Lu Hezheng examined them one by one and found that the design was simple in structure, and the seven parts would only require three hours to complete.
He said, "Second Young Master, this material is not difficult to forge, but there is something I want to discuss with you!"
"What is it? Tell me!" Qian Yucheng said.
"The design method of your drawing is very novel. I hope Second Young Master can pass on this design method to the Hammer Clan!"
Lu Hezheng bowed deeply to Qian Yucheng.
Qian Yucheng instantly understood the other party's meaning, but the other party's status as the young clan leader was not enough to negotiate terms.
If he remembered correctly, the clan leader of the Hammer Clan was in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Divine Craftsman realm.
And his new design method might be helpful to him!
This was a very important matter, and it required Clan Leader Lu's personal involvement!
It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck!
He pondered for a moment and said, "You can't make the decision on this matter yet. Let Elder Clan Leader Lu handle it!"
Lu Hezheng nodded: "Second Young Master, I will design your parts myself. I will talk to Father about it!"
"I haven't seen Clan Leader Lu for a long time. The things he creates are all very practical, bringing a lot of convenience to thousands of households. I do miss him a bit!"
Qian Yucheng said with a smile.
"Father is getting old and is conducting new design research, so naturally he rarely sees people."
Lu Hezheng also replied with a smile.
The matter was almost settled, so Qian Yucheng got up and prepared to leave.
He looked at Lu Hezheng: "Young Clan Chief Lu, I'll leave the design of the parts to you. I'll come over this evening."
Lu Hezheng respectfully replied, "Second Young Master, please take care!"
After Qian Yucheng left, he immediately put the blueprints into his storage soul tool and headed towards the clan's residence.
"Father, you have a good chance of breaking through to the Divine Craftsman realm!"
...
Qian Yucheng and Ling Yuan walked back. Ling Yuan asked in confusion,
"Second Young Master, why did you only give us half of the parts?"
"What are you going to do with the remaining parts?"
Qian Yucheng smiled when he heard her question, "Giving half is naturally to give the other party some choice!"
"The Plating Clan can also design such simple parts. The valuable thing about the blueprints is the way they design the parts!"
Ling Yuan understood now. The Second Young Master was preparing to use the Hammer Clan for his purposes!
Then she also felt puzzled:
But a group of craftsmen can only exert limited power, right?!
Why not recruit a Title Douluo?
The strength of a Title Douluo is much stronger than that of a craftsman!
Seeing Ling Yuan's half-understanding look, Qian Yucheng didn't say anything more.
The Hammer Clan's ability to design intricate parts was exactly what he needed.
He believed those blueprints would be awe-inspiring.
He also had many more sophisticated auxiliary tools he hadn't yet brought out!
To get them to work for him, he had to show the utmost sincerity!
He wasn't Tang San, who could easily control Lou Gao with just a few blueprints and then have him thrown into the furnace to eliminate the sharpness of the Deep Sea Silver!
Qian Yucheng glanced back at the Hammer Clan's work area before continuing towards the library.
Meanwhile, the Hammer Clan was in an uproar.
Clan Chief Lu Tai's aged face turned ruddy, and he became incredibly excited.
"These are the design blueprints I've been dreaming of!"
"The opportunity to break through to the Divine Craftsman realm lies within them!"
"Second Young Master, you are truly a genius in the art of forging!"
