Everyone discussed, at this time it was already October, the cold snap had swept the land in the north, the snowflakes were flying, the rivers and lakes in the north of Hengshan were about to freeze tightly, and a large number of materials were transferred before the year, and it was definitely too late to rush to Yuchengling to build the walled city.

At this time, the front part of the demon barbarian had already appeared on the front line of Yucheng Ridge and would soon attack southward, and there were still five or six thousand elite horsemen in the Longxiang camp, and under the leadership of Le Yi, they were still stranded at the western foot of Chopping Horse Ridge, and there was no way to come over for the time being.

The appropriate plan is to wait until the beginning of spring next year, although the flood will wash away the low-lying plains north of Hengshan into mud, and wash away the swamps that devour people and beasts everywhere, but it should be completely fine for the Longxiang camp to have three wind and flame airships to transport men and horses and materials, and build a strong fortress in Yuchengling before the winter of next year.

In addition, the new crossbow structure is not only suitable for individual crossbows, but also for heavenly crossbows.

Although the core arrow array box has not changed much, Chen Hai and the others discussed it and decided to name the new type of war crossbow as a breeched crossbow, so as to distinguish it from the old type of arrow box crossbow.

At present, the 30 old-style Tianji repeaters compiled into the Longxiang battalion are quite troublesome to renovate, and 30 new-style Tianji heavy-barreled crossbows should be built in the next year, and these old-style crossbows will be replaced one after another.

Before the official launch of the Tianji Heavy Rifled Crossbow, the old-style repeater was still a weapon for the clans and clans to compete for.

To ensure that each crossbow can penetrate and tear through a one-third inch thick quenched iron plate beyond the range of 2,000 steps, it will use a three-inch-long heavy crossbow with a cluster tip structure, especially the tip of the cluster bullet, which will be cast with eighth-grade quenched iron.

Even so, each heavy ballista still consumes only one-fifth of the quenched iron of a traditional heavy ballista.

If the refitting can be completed within a year, all the old heavy crossbow arrows stored in the Longxiang battalion will be replaced with heavy crossbow shells, and the continuous combat time of the Huwei battalion will be increased by five times, which will be extremely terrifying for the improvement of combat potential.

Although the closed crossbow structure will bring a series of problems such as overheating, the structure and operation will become more complex, and the crossbow parts need to be more advanced quenched iron casting, but it is also a huge improvement when weighed.

In addition, if the enemy is only outnumbered and the individual defense is limited, the machine heavy crossbow will be replaced with a cheaper ordinary crossbow......

At this time, the individual rifled crossbow can be regarded as really able to expand the scale of mass production.

Tianji School Palace has long established a workshop, manufacturing individual crossbows, although the cost is not very low, although it is not suitable for batch equipment Longxiang battalion, but due to the performance of the old style of individual crossbows, it is still much superior to the traditional bow crossbow, Yanzhou clan is as many as the carp across the river, Tianji Palace made more than 1,000 individual crossbows in two years, or was robbed at a high price, so that Chen Hai was only equipped with less than 200 individual crossbows in the Huwei battalion.

Now the crossbow factory will directly replace it with a new type of individual rifled crossbow, and the annual output should reach 1,000.

After all, the arrow magazine array required for a single soldier's crossbow has been simplified, and the ordinary craftsman apprentices of the Heavenly Machine Academy can start refining it. At present, the Tianji Academy Palace has released the main puppet techniques to be studied by craftsmen and apprentices, and the only requirement is to regularly hand in the parts of the refining rune array. In fact, this is the main means for many factories affiliated to Tianji Academy to break through the bottleneck of output.

However, even so, if it goes best, the Longxiang battalion will have 1,000 soldiers from the most elite guard battalion next year, and they will all be able to complete the outfit. From the first to the fifth battalion, it will take at least five years for 30,000 soldiers to complete the initial redress, which seems to be very slow, but you must know that after the Longxiang battalion completes the redress, the combat power will be comparable to that of the Hexi Provincial soldiers, you can know how terrifying this speed is.

Next year, they will build a city in Yuchengling, and finally defend it in the offensive of the demon barbarians like a torrent, Su Yuan and Sun Gan are still a little worried. In their opinion, with the current speed of dressing and preparation, after three years, all aspects of preparation will be more sufficient, and considering the construction of Yuchengling, there should be greater certainty.

**********************

Zhang Xiong, Sun Gan, and Su Yuan got the secret map of the new-style crossbow, and went down to prepare separately first, and Huang Shuang also accompanied Chen Hai to stay on the city tower, and couldn't help asking: "This is the inheritance of the hidden vein?"

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, only to understand that Huang Shuang was a batch of puppet weapons with the same Yanzhou refining tradition as the rifled crossbow, and he didn't know how to answer Huang Shuang.

Strictly speaking, the civilization system accumulated by the earth after countless years of development should naturally be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

The earth civilization seems to be based on the application of external energy sources and machinery such as gunpowder and electricity, while the inheritance civilization of the Jinyan Prefectures is based on the Xuanfa and Fu Array, but in Chen Hai's view, the most fundamental difference between the inheritance of the two civilizations is that the earth civilization is based on the civilian society, and the inheritance of the Jinyan Prefectures is based on a small group of elite Xuan Xiu standing above the masses of sentient beings, treating the general public as an ant people.

The same is true that the traditional sects and sects of the Jinyan Prefectures are even more obsessed with making extremely elaborate and complex high-level magic weapons or high-level large arrays, and the more advanced the magic weapons and large arrays, the more advanced the Xuan Xiu and Wu Xiu can master, and at the same time ensure that the pyramid ruling structure within the sects and sects can be steadily continued.

Purely from a technical level, the mystical inheritance of the Jinyan Sects is not necessarily more advanced than that of the earth.

The celestial figures in the history of Yanzhou, except for the legendary Wei Boyang, who have not yet been confirmed, none of the other people's longevity can break through 800 years old. In addition to this, there is also a screen neck that cannot be broken through in Yanzhou's heavenly list, not to mention that the physical body is flying around, even if it is a surviving flying magic weapon, there is a limit to the speed that cannot be broken through.

This speed limit bottleneck, Chen Hai has studied, is the speed of sound.

Chen Hai's speed of swinging his halberd at this time naturally broke through the speed of sound a long time ago, but the extreme speed of his body could reach a terrifying breath of 100 meters in a short period of time, but it was only less than one-third of the speed of sound.

This is still related to the fact that Chen Haishen was able to quench his body with wind and thunder after realizing the true meaning of wind and thunder, and in exchange for other martial arts cultivation in the late stage of the Ming Realm and even the Dao Dan Realm, even if his feet could burst out with such a strong force, it would be difficult for the muscles and bones of his body to withstand the explosion of such a huge power.

After all, this is completely different from moving in a high-speed plane.

However, the Earth has long broken through the speed of sound at the technological level.

Chen Hai founded the Heavenly Machine Academy Palace in the depths of Qintong Mountain at this time, and on the surface, it seemed that it was also based on the Fu Array Forbidden Development Mechanism Puppet Technique, but the change in thinking mode was subversive.

The Tianji Academy Palace's great Tianji heavy bore crossbow and individual soldier bore crossbow can be controlled by the ant people, and after control, it can directly threaten the lives of high-level Xuanxiu powerhouses, which is actually the old-style inheritance of Jinyan Zhuzhou, from a handful of elite Xuanxiu control everything to the civilian society.

This was originally a great reaction and overthrow, but due to the chaos in Yanzhou, the control of the Jingjun clan led by the Ying clan was weakened by the first mate, and many border county power forces were eager to enhance their own strength, and the cultivation of elite Xuan Xiu was too slow to fill the consumption of large-scale wars.

Maybe at this time, there are still old stubborn people who regard the Tianji Academy Palace as a place of deviance, but if these people are stubborn, the only end is to be swallowed up by other forces.

Compared with the tradition of the Taoist Zen Institute in Yanzhou in the past to spread the Dharma and support the sect lords, what Chen Hai did at this time can be said to be another subversive new model, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the inheritance of the hidden vein.

It's just that Chen Hai is not complacent because of this, because he knows in his heart that on top of the earth civilization and the mystical inheritance of Jinyan Prefecture, there are also more advanced, more terrifying, and even powerful inheritances that can make people immortal, directly control the laws of heaven and earth, and can truly be called gods and demons.

This legacy is not delusional, nor is it out of reach.

The source of the inheritance of the Taoist Zen Temple, the temple and the Dragon Emperor Cangyu and Zuo Er, they come from this kind of powerful inheritance.

And the Rakshasa Domain at the other end of the Blood Cloud Wasteland is also a much higher level existence than the Jinyan Prefectures.

As a result, some of the powerful beings in the Rakshasa Domain were even suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth, and even if the Blood Cloud Wasteland was completely connected with the Rakshasa Domain and the Jinyan Prefectures, these powerful beings would not be able to enter the Jinyan Prefectures.

What kind of existence is the Rakshasa Domain?

Where did the temple come from, why was it left in the Blood Cloud Desolate Region, and why did it bear the responsibility of educating the Jinyan Prefectures and resisting the invasion of the Jinyan Prefectures by the Blood Demons?

Does he have a chance to return to his homeland in this life?

These are the most fundamental questions tangled in Chen Hai's mind, Chen Hai even suspects that the temple is also from the Rakshasa Domain, and the Rakshasa Domain is even more vast and vast than what Zuo Er said, and the Rakshasa Blood Demon is only a force in the Rakshasa Domain.

It's just that all of this is just Chen Hai's speculation, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to step into the Rakshasa domain in this life to see what is going on.

Chen Hai temporarily suppressed these thoughts that he could not completely get rid of, and at the time of the matter, he still did everything possible to strengthen the defense of the seven fortifications on the eastern front with Hengshan City as the core.

In the short term, as far as the melee defense of the walled city is concerned, there is no better and more convenient weapon than the counterweight catapult - Su Yuan and Zhang Xiong came here this time, and they sent over a hundred accessories for light catapults, but the base of the stone-throwing crossbow and the crossbow rod that need to be made of cutting down thousands of years of solid wood need to be mined and manufactured on the spot in Hengshan City.

Fortunately, when the soldiers of Tianshui County withdrew and handed over Hengshan and other cities to the Longxiang battalion to take over the defense, more than 50,000 auxiliary soldiers and Minyong still stayed, and the Longxiang battalion took over, otherwise it would not be difficult to cut down hundreds of thousand-year-old trees before the year, but it was not easy to mine stone and reserve a large number of stone bullets.
