"The wood has cracks and is sun-dried, and the best way to make a crossbow is in the shade, and hardwood is the best, and of course the hard, tough, good wood is the best. Luo Heng said.

"Isn't that wood?" said Hodo, pointing to some of the other woods.

"The wood doesn't fit because they've been sawn and the wood I need needs needs to be split. Luo Heng said.

"Master Cheney, I've never heard of you, what's the difference between this split wood and sawn wood?" a dwarf blacksmith questioned.

Why did this dwarf know that it was a blacksmith, because blacksmiths also have a blacksmith guild, the forge guild is a unique association of dwarves, and the only blacksmith guild between humans and other races is the blacksmith guild.

In fact, the number and scale of the Blacksmiths Association are larger than those of the Blacksmiths Association, but the Blacksmiths Association has the greatest right to speak, because the Blacksmiths Association produces low-end products, and almost all of the middle and high-end ones are monopolized by the Dwarven Forge Association.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you, these woods have their own textures, and these textures don't grow in a straight line. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, he didn't bother with this dwarf, it can be said that he ignored it.

"Huh?" Although Huo Duo has seen chopping wood or something, he hasn't watched it carefully.

The split wood is not straight, but slightly twisted, and it can be seen that it is split along the grain of the wood, Luo Heng opened his mouth and continued: "When making, it should be made along the texture of the wood, so that the pulling force is greater, the toughness is stronger, and the durability is higher."

Luo Heng didn't know the rest, Luo Heng was from the countryside before he became a soldier, hoes, sickles, and flat poles, why did he say that his handmade ones were easier to use, not easy to burr, and used for a longer time.

This is because these utensils are made by hand and are made according to the grain of the wood, while the mechanical ones are only cut out of shapes.

The same is true for hunting crossbow arms, which are more demanding than those of the stubs, which may not break for a year or two after a hand-made one, but may only be a few months if they are mechanically made.

Luo Heng drew a few strokes with charcoal on the two irregular pieces of wood split, and everyone understood that the shape was made with texture, not just the shape.

"So when I ask for it, don't split the wood, don't crack it, the crossbow arm will bear a huge pulling force, if there is no crack, the crack will get wider and wider, and eventually it will be scrapped. Luo Heng said.

"So Master Cheney, is there anything you can do to avoid the lack of range from using a wooden crossbow in damp~wet weather?" another dwarf asked.

Luo Heng glanced at these dwarfs and said: "You are here to learn, not to ask me questions, when I teach you step by step, I will naturally know, I know that the traditional bow has some changes to the bow when the climatic conditions change, but I promise, although there will be changes in the ones I make, it is very small." ”

When Huo Duo heard this, he immediately spoke: "It's good for me, the way to make the bow and crossbow that I learned during my study must be kept strictly secret, once it is leaked, it will be a traitor to the entire dwarf clan." ”

"Yes. "Now the gnomes know the gravity of the matter.

Prepare the wood, and then Luo Heng first gave these dwarfs a triangular ruler, made of copper, and made calipers, this kind of tool magicians have alchemy tools, but the accuracy is relatively high, and the crossbow made by Luo Heng does not need too high precision.

Luo Heng first made a crossbow in front of everyone, when this one was a crossbow as tall as a dwarf, and used a rowing device, the crossbow required a dwarf to step on the ground, and then pull the rowing device with both hands before it could be wound.

But after this crossbow pierced through the two layers of leather armor three hundred yards away, the eyes of these gnomes looked at Luo Heng differently.

Hodo looked at the crossbow with his own height, but with a rowing machine, an eccentric wheel, and a dwarf could easily wind it, he was also horrified.

"That's probably what this stuff is, but there are a lot of things involved in it, such as the waterproofing of the wood, the toughness of the crossbow, which can be strengthened.

Hasson and Val had already returned, and the two of them led the other gnomes, and when they knew about the production of this crossbow, Luo Heng made some targeted teachings.

"Water treatment is actually very simple, what do you think this is?" Luo Heng held a large yellow object in his hand.

"Beeswax?" said Hasson.

"Yes, it's beeswax, it's the crossbow arm, and put the dry crossbow arm in there...... Boil. "It's very simple to put water in wood, and that is to boil wax.

"Of course, maybe the crossbow arm needs to be maintained regularly for a year or two years, that is, to do waterproof treatment, of course, the easiest thing is to prepare a crossbow arm, I think the dwarf family will not lack horn wood. Luo Heng said.

"Master Cheney, there are so many horns that no one likes this thing to burn fire. Hanlun spoke.

"Yes, and why I have a ruler for each of you, you see. Luo Heng took out the hammer and smashed all the things used by these dwarves, and they were quickly smashed.

These gnomes were stunned, but after seeing Luo Heng select parts in the broken crossbow and quickly assemble a new crossbow, these gnomes seemed to feel that they knew something.

"Everything is in one size, then the parts will be common in the future, and if there is anything missing, as long as you find the same, you can use it. Luo Heng said.

"Master Cheney, that's a good thing you said, our equipment was broken before, and we couldn't find a replacement part. "Hodo is also considered to be the main party, so many times the parts are not matched, which makes people very irritable.

"This method can be used in many aspects, such as the carriage, the wheel size is the same, then I have four wheels in a carriage, and it is enough for me to bring a spare one in the car, don't you say?" Luo Heng said.

"Yes. The dwarf craftsmen clenched the triangular ruler in their hands.

"Alright, let's try out the wax boiling process, and tomorrow I'll show you how to increase the range of such a crossbow. Luo Heng said, and then let these craftsmen do it themselves.

These craftsmen immediately went to learn to boil wax, which is better than applying paint and releasing water, because the wax basically penetrates in, and the lacquer is generally on the surface.

"Yes. These dwarf craftsmen are very curious about the method Luo Heng said, but what kind of method it is, Luo Heng doesn't say, and these craftsmen don't know.

"Master Cheney, His Majesty wants to see you. The next morning, as soon as Luo Heng got up, he heard such news.

PS The update is late, sorry, something is delayed.
