Chapter 109: Crack the Pork
Chapter 109
At lunch time, the usually noisy dining table was empty.
The situation was as follows.
Shen Yichen left home to buy frogs. T/his chapter is updated by
Shen Shuangyi was home but taking a long nap.
Shen Shuangchen left home to build a gun.
Shen Jize left home to supervise his third brother's gun building quality.
Shen Wu left home to accompany his fourth brother in supervising his third brother's gun building quality.
Shen Yue stayed home sleeping, studying, and sleeping again.
It was not until the afternoon that the few who went out to build the gun came back home after buying the necessary materials.
With the help of Shen Jize and Shen Wu, even the tools for grinding and cutting parts were prepared.
Shen Shuangchen silently took the materials and started drawing part diagrams. He had to draw the parts first to avoid missing components during later assembly.
Shen Jize was at the side helping out. He had good control over data accuracy from frequently conducting experiments, and could spot problems in the part diagrams with one glance.
In the past, even if he noticed issues, he would silently adjust by himself without informing others, unless someone discovered it afterwards and forced him to explain.
But now...
"Third brother, the tolerance of these two numbers should be accurate to ±0.008mm, otherwise there will be issues during assembly."
Although Shen Jize's voice was still gentle, and often very soft, it was no longer as subservient as before.
The difference was subtle, but he had become much stronger.
"You're no longer afraid of me," Shen Shuangchen stated as he adjusted the numbers according to what Shen Jize said.
Shen Shuangchen preferred to personally confirm things with his own eyes and experience. He would not easily believe others' words, nor casually answer their questions. Once he verbally expressed something, it basically meant he had recognized it as fact.
Hearing Shen Shuangchen initiate a conversation surprised Shen Jize, then he smiled, "Yes, you're my third brother. I'm not afraid."
Shen Shuangchen did not react to this, only said to Shen Wu, "You've changed too, matured quite a bit. I used to see you as a snarling mad dog who would bite whenever you got someone in your jaws."
I want to work hard like third brother and be a cool brother in my sister's heart!"
To become a brother his sister found handsome and awesome!
During Shen Jize's narrative, Shen Shuangchen remained silent and kept working, seeming unmoved by it. But after Shen Jize finished, he began taking the initiative to hand the completed part diagrams to Shen Jize for inspection.
Recalling Shen Jize's words, Shen Shuangchen gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He wasn't protecting anyone, he was merely following orders.
As they chatted, the gun slowly took shape.
With Shen Shuangchen alone it would have taken some time, but with three people the efficiency skyrocketed geometrically.
Shen Yue, who had been holed up in her room, was dragged out to experience the gift presented by her three brothers.
At first Shen Yue was confused. Based on her calculations, the gun shouldn't have been finished this quickly. But upon seeing the expectant Shen Jize and the smug Shen Wu downstairs, she suddenly felt backstabbed.
And Shen Jize was still obliviously beckoning her over. "Sister, come try it out!"
Shen Yue was quite speechless, but still took the gun out to the yard, assumed a stance, and fired.
Then, nothing happened.
Shen Yue checked the magazine. "No bullets."
So the four gathered to make bullets with the remaining materials, completing the gun at last.
The four returned to the yard, ready to test it out.
Shen Wu had long since taken out the pork he bought and placed it in front of Shen Yue, demanding, "Shoot this."
Shen Yue weighed the gun's heft, gripped it steadily, then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang.
The pork exploded.
Before Shen Yue and Shen Wu could carefully observe the blasted pork, they heard eldest brother's voice from outside the gate.
"What are you doing?"
