Chapter Ninety-Three: The Giant Crossbow
Today is New Year's Day, and Ran Fei got up early in the morning to run around the farm.
The chicken thief didn't come to the farm in the past two days, I don't know if he wanted to know if Ran Fei was back, or because he also had a "holiday" for himself on New Year's Day.
After running for half an hour, pressing his legs for a while, and playing a set of actions that imitated the fight of various fierce beasts in the orc world, he felt a slight heat on his body, and then returned to Xiaolou.
Pei Yan was just getting up at this time, walking on the stairs with hazy eyes, his hands on the railing of the stairs, as soon as he walked down the stairs, his feet were empty, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Ah......h
Ran Fei hurriedly burst out and hugged Pei Yan, who was exclaiming.
Pei Yan opened his eyes and found that he had fallen into Ran Fei's arms, and couldn't help laughing.
"Stupid, don't go downstairs if you're still confused in the future, how dangerous it is. Ran Fei stretched out his hand and gently flicked Pei Yan's forehead.
"Ouch......" Pei Yan pretended to cry out in pain and covered his forehead.
Ran Fei hugged Pei Yan and put it on the sofa, and when Pei's mother in the kitchen saw it, she couldn't help but say to Pei's father, who was sitting on a chair in the dining room reading a magazine:
"Lao Pei, when will you be able to be so romantic to me once. ”
Father Pei was stunned when he heard this, just now he also saw Pei Yan almost falling, but before he could react, Ran Fei hugged Pei Yan, and replied stunned: "What's so romantic about this, this girl is not confused all the time, but fortunately, Ran boy runs fast." ”
"Phew, you old man, you don't understand any emotion......" Pei Mu said angrily.
Father Pei was dumbfounded for a while, and then shook his head, the old husband and wife, what is romantic.
Pei Yan, who heard the conversation, felt even sweeter in his heart, and seeing that Pei's father and the two did not look at this side, he gently kissed Ran Fei's left cheek.
"Hehe, Yan Yan, asymmetry, there's one here. Ran Fei looked at Pei Yan with a wicked smile and said.
"Hmph......" Pei Yan snorted softly, but without hesitation, he also kissed Ran Fei's right cheek.
After breakfast, he said to Pei's father and the others: "Uncle and aunt, I want to go to the city to do some errands, do you have any arrangements for today? Do you want to go to the city to play?"
Father Pei hesitated for a while and said: "I'll go to your cattle farm by myself later, take a look at the mountains and rocks there, I saw a few of them that time, the shape and color are good, you have time to carve a Dapeng for me." ”
Pei's mother glared at Pei's father: "Xiaofei has something to do, you still let others carve stones for you, your face is so big, but Xiaofei If you want to be busy, you can go first, don't ask us, it's just this New Year's Day, you don't take Yan Yan to play?"
Ran Fei was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Pei Yan next to him, Pei Yan didn't seem to care, while weaving the animal skin clothes she learned from the female little horned beasts, but they changed to knitting sweaters, compared to animal skin clothes, sweaters are simpler.
"Yan Yan will also come with me later, right?" Ran Fei said.
"Ahh Pei Yan replied happily.
"That's fine, you guys get busy. Pei Mu also said happily.
When I walked out of the door, I vaguely heard Pei's father say dissatisfiedly: "I'll go find the stone myself, I'll ......carve it myself."
"Just you, don't look at you for decades, what kind of molding, cats can be carved into rats......"
……
"Brother, aren't you going to the city?" Pei Yan couldn't help but be a little curious as he watched Ran Fei drive to a remote place and suddenly stop.
Immediately, I didn't know what I thought, Pei Yan's face turned red instantly, and he looked around: "Brother...... You won't want to be here...... I'm not ready, that ......"
Ran Fei was dumbfounded, and then couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Yan Yan, you are really cute, just a casual excuse, the tribe has something to do in the past two days, I have to go back and take a look, stop here just to avoid people's eyes." ”
Pei Yan shook his head at this time, and his face was still flushed: "Ang...... I didn't say anything, I thought you were going to ...... Well, open pection, yes......"
Ran Fei chose not to debunk Pei Yan's flawed explanation, smiled and touched Pei Yan's head, and then both disappeared into the car.
But what Ran Fei didn't know was that the camera of a factory in a corner was right at Ran Fei's Wrangler......
"Chief. As soon as he appeared in the shaman hall, Man hurriedly greeted him.
"Full, are the copper coins ready?" Ran Fei said.
Copper coins?!Hearing this word seems to wake up like a big dream, yes, I have seen it in the dictionary, copper coins are a kind of money, and money ...... I see, Chief Virtue!
Thinking of this, Man couldn't help but look at Ran Fei with an admiring eye.
Ran Fei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Man had already understood his intentions, and joked with a smile: "What? It can't be that you forgot, right? Is it that some old lady in the tribe has hooked our Uncle Man." ”
His face flushed: "Chief, I'm 60!"
"What's wrong with 60, the most beautiful thing is sunset red~" Ran Fei said and sang, Pei Yan gently pulled Ran Fei on the side, and then joked that it was about to turn into a boiled prawn.
……
"Chief, Uncle Man, you see, this is copper made from half a tael of copper...... Copper coins, re-sketched, are remade from molds and do not differ by more than 10 grams. Several people came to the ko-headed craftsman's blacksmith shop, and a leading ko-headed craftsman took a copper coin and said to Ran Fei and the others, the title of copper coin was also told by Ran Fei just now.
Ran Fei took it and tried the feel, huh...... Can't try out the weight.
On the weigher on the side, it was only half a tael and a gram, which was good.
There are at least tens of thousands in that box, which should be enough for the time being.
"That's the latest finished product, it's enough for the time being, but we need to increase production. Ran Fei said to the ko-headed craftsman.
The kobold craftsman nodded hurriedly: "At the beginning, the burning of the mold was a little slower, this is the result of the last day, mainly because the kobold craftsmen over there are developing a new type of weapon at the moment." ”
"Oh, a new type of weapon?" Ran Fei was intrigued.
"Yes, there are at least hundreds of kobold craftsmen working day and night on new weapons, and I heard that the finished product has been created, and they are preparing to find a place to experiment. The kobold craftsman said truthfully
"Then take me to see it. Ran Fei said excitedly.
This is the first time that the kobold craftsman has taken the initiative to develop a weapon, and regardless of its merits, at least this spirit is worth encouraging.
When a few people came to the new craftsman's house, a dozen kobold craftsmen were gathered in front of a huge half-wood, half-iron thing that looked like a crossbow, but this was ...... It's too big, isn't it?
Ran Fei couldn't help but sigh a little, this thing is not tall, but it is also the height of an ordinary adult, but the entire crossbow body is very huge, even if more than a dozen orcs stand on it at the same time, it is not too crowded.
Seeing Ran Fei and the others, Blood Fang, who was busy with them, hurriedly greeted, "Chief." ”
"Well, you guys get busy first. Ran Fei replied, and then stepped forward to watch a few ko-headed craftsmen fiddling with giant crossbows.
"Smack!"
A powerful thunderbolt-like sound sounded from the crossbow strings of the giant crossbow, but fortunately the crossbow bolts were not loaded, the crossbow strings were made of iron fused with copper powder, and the hardness was full, but the toughness was much worse, but fortunately, the entire structure of the giant crossbow was very well made, and it seemed that there were considerations at the beginning, only two orcs only needed to turn a lever on both sides at the same time, and the giant crossbow could pull the crossbow string to the rear before it could be re-launched, but this was too slow.
Ran Fei couldn't help shaking his head, and then put forward his own "opinion".
Hearing this, the kobold craftsmen were a little embarrassed: "We have also considered this problem, but we are not going to use this thing for ordinary crossbows, and you have seen it, chief, if we load crossbows of the same size, even if the speed is slower." But this is ...... lethal."
Listening to the description of the ko-headed craftsman, Ran Fei couldn't help but have a picture in his mind, the shamans of the Shu tribe attacked the Xia tribe in the thousands, and a huge crossbow arrow was shot out from the wall of the Xia tribe...... , this lethality is not weaker than a catapult, and even in terms of defense, it is stronger than a catapult!
"That'...... If you have any crossbow arrows, try to send two shots!" Ran Fei rubbed his hands, quite excited.
"Well, chief, are you going to try it here? The kobold craftsman touched his head and asked with some embarrassment.
"Ahem...... I mean go out of the tribe and try it. Ran Fei hurriedly explained.
……
Ran Fei took the lead, and under the guidance of the dog-headed craftsman, he pulled several valves under the giant crossbow to the back, and four wheels appeared under the giant crossbow.
It's a good design, which saves time and effort.
Coming to a pile of rubble, Ran Fei stopped, took the giant crossbow arrows carried by a few kobold craftsmen, and found another shortcoming, except for himself and a strong man like Manyi, it is estimated that no one can load this kind of crossbow arrow alone.
After loading the crossbow arrows, Ran Fei dragged the giant crossbow and aimed it at the pile of rocks, and Pei Yan and the orcs hid far away.
Seeing that a few people were hiding away, Ran Fei gently pulled the switch next to the giant crossbow.
"Smack!"
There was another loud thunderous thud, and the giant crossbow arrow flew out.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the pile of rocks was scattered by the impact of the direct giant crossbow arrows, and the impact made a loud bang out of thin air.
Moreover, the giant crossbow bolt did not reduce the impact of the pile of rocks, and continued to move forward, bringing down a few cedar trees behind it.
"Bang bang!" this is the kobold craftsmen applauding.
Ran Fei looked at the scene in front of him, and said to the dog-headed craftsman who stepped forward beside him: "Improve this loading method, this lethality is good, and you can declare more copper and iron ore in due time, don't care about loss." ”
The kobold craftsman hurriedly nodded happily in response, "Yes." ”
Pei Yan also said on the side: "Brother, if this hits the orcs......
"That's right, this will be the Xia tribe's latest siege weapon, but you can create another siege weapon at the right time, you can stay later, I'll talk to you......" said a few words to Pei Yan, and Ran Fei hurriedly greeted the ko-headed craftsmen who were discussing hotly.
