To be reasonable, it's unlikely that Eddie will come out with a hand-rubbing musket.

The forging process in this world does not seem to be so developed, and eighty percent of the forged steel is not very reliable;

And the blacksmith's technique is also unbelievable, if this is really a bomb, then ......

For a man like Add, who seeks to be safe, any danger must be eliminated as much as possible;

What's more, gunpowder doesn't even have a shadow.

But Add could have rubbed something else by hand.

Without a marker, Add went straight to the saw, sawed off a piece of wood, and then began the show in front of Gray Wrist's jaw, which was getting more and more out of control;

First, take off the regular wood chips with four long and two short pieces from the wood, and then use two long and two short to splice them into a box - seeing this, the gray wrist can still understand;

But what follows is completely confusing: Add removes small pieces of wood of different shapes from the sticks and chisels them into parts that look finer but are actually more incomprehensible shapes;

In doing so, Add showed more control than the most brilliant carpenter Grey Wrist had ever seen: the chisel was not a chisel at all, but a "spoon" to remove the excess from the wood!

Finally, Eddie uses a chisel to create two wooden nails, which are attached to the wooden box with the remaining two pieces of treated wood.

"It's done. Eddie wiped the sweat from his forehead and fiddled with his results a little—well, not a good idea.

"Less...... Young Master, what is this?" Gray Wrist looked left and right, completely unable to understand what it was.

"Ballista. As he spoke, Add pulled the mechanism under the crate, and the block of wood that had been extended and had an extra section above the crate fell back into the crate in an instant;

Add pushed the mechanism on the front of the crate again, and the small piece of wood stretched out again.

This kind of thing was supposed to be made entirely of metal...... Eddie complained inwardly that such a pure wooden crossbow machine would break down after not many uses;

Moreover, in the absence of drawings, it is estimated that Eddie can rub out such a thing by hand - the difficulty of processing and assembling the parts, even an old carpenter who has worked all his life will have a headache.

"Forgive me for being stupid...... How can this mechanism break the current situation?" even though the gray wrist was confused, he still knew very well-

This thing alone can't kill people.

"This is only the most important part of the process, and there is something else that needs to be done. Add said as he picked up the bow again, "Grey Wrist, can you pull this bow apart?"

"Let's try it next......" said Graywrist, trying to pull the bowstring apart as hard as he could—

"You don't have to think about actual combat, you can pull as much as you can. Add picked up another piece of wood and began gesturing beside Greywrist, "As hard as you can." ”

"Uh-oh-" Grey Wrist riveted his bow away with all his might—his physical strength was still weaker than that of an ordinary soldier in the absence of a word, and his strength was similar to that of a soldier in normal combat;

"Good work. Add made a mark on the wood, and motioned for Grey Wrist to put it down.

Add cut off the excess of the wood along the mark, then picked up the arrow, compared it slightly, and began to dig a slender groove in one side with a chisel;

Once the groove was complete, Add used his axe to cut off the tail feathers of the arrow, placing the arrow in the groove;

"Well, yes, yes. Add nodded, and moved on to the next step - combining the crossbow machine with the wood;

Seeing this, Grey Wrist still didn't understand what Eddie was trying to do, but when he saw the next step, he understood.

Add made a narrow hole in the end of the wood with a chisel and fastened the bow with string;

After confirming that it was fixed, Eddie finally breathed a sigh of relief-

"That's it. Add looked the rather rudimentary crossbow up and down in his hand;

Although it is not very beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, it is exactly the same structure as described in the "drawings".

The bow, the arm, and the machine - the three parts that make up the "crossbow".

Add placed his bow on the ground and set up the arrow.

Then pull the bowstring apart with both hands and buckle it on the crossbow machine;

After doing this, Add holds the middle of the crossbow arm in his left hand, holds the end of the crossbow arm in his right hand, and puts his fingers on the lower side of the crossbow machine, which is the trigger;

"The words of the goal...... That's it. Add walked to the corner of the room, pulled away from it, and aimed at a wooden pillar in the opposite corner;

After a little aiming, Add pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The arrow flew out of the crossbow arm at high speed, and immediately hit Eddie's intended target, a dark spot on the wooden pillar;

The whole pierced into the solid wood about four or five centimeters deep, which was enough force to cause fatal damage to the human body, Eddie thought.

"Less...... Master, this is what God has given you...... Is it a weapon that can turn the tide?" Gray Wrist's words were a little stumbling, he had never seen a bow and arrow like this!

At the court, he saw all kinds of bows and arrows in the royal collection, some longbows were practical, simple but powerful, and some bows and arrows were designed ornately and richly for ceremonial display.

But no matter what trick is made, the way to launch is to pull the bowstring first, then aim at the target, and then fire;

Eddie this way...... It's completely beyond the range of the bow and arrow!

"This weapon is called a crossbow. Add said, handing the crossbow to the Grey Wrist, "It's used just like you saw, and even someone like me who has never used a bow and arrow is enough to hit the target with ease." ”

One of the important reasons for limiting the development of bows and arrows among the minor nobles was that it was too difficult for them to accurately hit their targets;

The soldier had to exert considerable force when pulling the bowstring, which prevented the process of aiming for too long.

At the same time, due to the constant influence of breathing and muscle strength, the force of the bow and arrow is quite difficult to control when it is off the string, which further reduces the possibility of hitting.

However, the crossbow does not have the above problems, the soldier only needs to wind the crossbow arrow, and then aim as long as he wants;

What's more, the crossbow has an aiming device on it, and in the case of the one that Eddie just made, the wooden block with strings hanging above the crossbow machine has an aiming effect - it can be aimed at the target by connecting it to the trench;

It's a pity that Eddie's materials are relatively limited, otherwise......

Of course, materials are one thing, and this key technology must not be leaked out at will.

"It'...... It can make a farmer who has planted all his life easily kill a knight who has been trained for a lifetime...... even if it is the black iron rank and the bronze rank...... A direct hit is enough to take it out!" Grey Wrist's voice trembled with excitement;

He looked back and forth at the seemingly simple "crossbow" that contained deadly murderous intent, and his heart couldn't be calm-

It was possible to create such a weapon...... With the god of the sun above, Your Majesty will surely be able to revive the royal family!
