Chapter 695: Shoot Further
readx;?ā Brother Song, is the crossbow ready? Mao Yong and Zhan Nian had been waiting at the door of the forging room, and when they saw Song Qi walking out with Huang Cancan's repeater in his hand, he hurriedly asked with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's half better, now I'll try to see if it works!" Song Qi nodded and said, he walked to the open place, raised his eyes to look at a towering tree three hundred steps away, the corners of his mouth hooked up a confident smile, and said to himself: "The weight of this golden crossbow is three times that of that old-fashioned repeater, I wonder if the range can be increased to three times?" ā
"Three times the range?" War Year said in great surprise.
"I'm not sure, let's give it a try." Song Qi smiled and walked to the open space, facing the big tree, and plucked the bowstring out of the position of the stuck string. Since the trigger has not yet been installed, it can only be plucked by hand.
The bolt shot out like a bolt of lightning and flew towards the tree. At the same time, Song Qi was pushed back several steps by the backlash force and almost fell, but fortunately, Mao Yong reached out in time to hold Song Qi's arm. It seems that the rear impulse of the golden crossbow is more than double that of the old repeater.
The crossbow arrow did not shoot at the big tree, and it was all castration away from the big tree a hundred and ten paces, and it fell to the ground with a "pop~".
"Wow! So far?! Zhan Nian's mouth opened in surprise, enough to stuff an orange.
"The range is at least two hundred paces! Far from that old-fashioned repeater! Mao Yong said excitedly.
"It's okay!" Song Qi was very satisfied in his heart, and said modestly in his mouth.
Then he thought to himself, "It would be even better if the golden repeater could shoot fifteen arrows in a row!" Thinking of this, he immediately returned to the forge room and immersed himself in designing the crossbow box. He kept researching, experimenting, and modifying, and finally he could only increase the crossbow trough to thirteen arrows, and he could no longer increase the number of crossbow arrows.
"It seems that shooting thirteen arrows in a row is the limit, and it really can't be increased, but being able to shoot thirteen arrows in a row is already very good, it's already a big improvement, isn't it?" Although Song Qi was helpless, he could only accept the result happily.
Next, the crossbow groove began to be turned from the design drawing into the real thing, which was forged according to the drawing, and it did not take much time.
The crossbow box was forged, made of pure gold, golden yellow throughout, and cylindrical in shape, with thirteen crossbow grooves distributed on the outside of the cylinder box. Each balliste was slightly smaller than the original, so, despite the increase to thirteen troughs, the size of the ballista box did not increase much compared to the previous one. In this way, the addition of thirteen arrows will not affect the beauty of the appearance.
The crossbow box is attached to the body of the crossbow, and it can be rotated at will, and with each turn, a crossbow box is facing the position of the clamp string and the shot.
Then, Song Qi made a graceful trigger with two gold bricks and installed it in the middle of the crossbow body. Each time the trigger is pulled, the bowstring can be pushed out of the clamp position, and when the trigger returns to its original position, the bowstring can be pulled to the clamp position and stuck, and the crossbow groove will rotate a position accordingly, which is convenient for the next pull of the arrow, which is convenient for automatic.
A golden repeater that can shoot thirteen arrows in a row has been released!
This brand-new golden repeater has a yellow body and a streamlined appearance, smooth and beautiful, and looks pleasing to the eye and beautiful.
The body of the crossbow is one percent smaller than the original tungsten steel repeater, but the weight is more than three times that of the old-fashioned repeater, plus the crossbow groove and arrows, it is one hundred and thirty pounds. Such a heavy repeating crossbow, if it had been placed two years ago, Song Qi would not have been able to lift it with two hands, let alone shoot it in his hand. However, Song Qi is no longer the same as two years ago, his strength is more than 500 catties, and holding a repeater of 130 catties is as easy as holding a pair of slingshots.
"General Song, the repeater is finished?" Zhan Nian saw Song Qi walking out of the forging room with a repeater crossbow, and excitedly greeted him.
"Well, that's it!" Song Qi nodded and said, walked to the position of two hundred steps away from the big tree, raised the repeater with his right hand, gently pulled the trigger with his fingers, and a crossbow arrow shot out quickly, shooting towards the trunk of the big tree, like a bolt of lightning.
The Golden Crossbow was carefully modified, and when the trigger was pulled, it did not make a "pop" sound, but only made an imperceptible sound, which was smaller than the sound of an arrow breaking through the air, and it was difficult to be heard by the ear unless it was in the dead of night. This small improvement makes the Golden Crossbow much more powerful. When facing enemy shots, the master is often able to judge the direction and timing of the crossbow arrow by sound, and then dodge it. Now that the sound of the crossbow bolt is reduced to a minimum, the master can only judge by the sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air, so it is too late in time. When using a repeater to shoot, it is often a matter of life and death, and any moment of time is fatal.
But the backlash of the golden crossbow did not decrease, Rao is Song Qi was prepared, and the huge recoil force still rushed him back two steps.
"Poof~" The crossbow arrow hit the trunk of the tree two hundred paces away, and the big tree shook visibly with the naked eye, and the branches and leaves fell. "Smack~" The crossbow bolt pierced through the trunk of the tree, and flew for dozens of steps before falling to the ground.
"Haha... That's amazing! War Year clapped his hands and exclaimed.
"Shooting at a target two hundred paces away can still penetrate through it, and it seems that this golden crossbow has a range of at least two hundred and fifty paces." Mao Yong's face also showed excitement and appreciation.
"I'll try again!" Song Qi was overjoyed, took fifty steps back, raised the golden crossbow, and fired another arrow at the trunk. This time, he had experience, and while pulling the trigger, he quickly contracted his arm to counteract the recoil, but he was still swayed backwards by the recoil.
"Whoosh~" The silver arrow was like a cheerful lightning bolt, hitting the trunk of a tree two hundred and fifty paces away, sinking deep into the trunk, and this time it did not pierce.
"It's terrifying that you can shoot a target two hundred and fifty steps away without going so deep!" The war year was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered.
"Looks pretty good!" Song Qi was also excited, and took another fifty steps back, raising the golden crossbow and swinging it at the trunk.
"Whoosh~" The silver arrow flew towards the tree like a silver snake, and fell to the ground more than thirty steps in front of the tree.
Although he didn't shoot the trunk of the tree three hundred paces away, Song Qi was still quite happy. The range of the Golden Crossbow is 260 paces, which is more than 100 steps farther than the old-fashioned repeater, and almost the same range as the Cloud Piercing Arrow. Song Qi is still very satisfied. This additional 100 paces will make you 250 paces away.
If you use a silver crossbow arrow, you can shoot farther... (To be continued.) )
