The dwarves are famous blacksmiths on the mainland, skilled craftsmen. The weapons and armor produced from the dwarven kingdom www.biquge.info are all beautiful in appearance and known for their high quality. Usually on the mainland, a set of equipment produced by dwarves is worth thousands of gold coins. On the black market, it can reach the price of thousands of gold coins. There are many reasons why dwarves are able to possess the best skills of the continent, but in general, there are two main ones.

First, the dwarves live in the highlands in the southwestern part of the continent. The soil is poor and not suitable for crops. However, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and the various metal minerals in the highlands are surprisingly rich. Therefore, most of the dwarves rely on smelting minerals and forging equipment to exchange food and other living materials with humans.

This way of life has been maintained by the dwarves for thousands of years. Therefore, metallurgical technology is also constantly improving. The human world, on the other hand, is mired in constant war. They are independent and do not have enough manpower and material resources to develop and study metallurgical technology. Therefore, the human world is highly regarded for the equipment of dwarves.

As for the second point, it is very simple, that is, the dwarves have preserved the scientific and technological research of antiquity. A thousand years ago, during the period of the only great unification in history, science and technology, culture, economy and military reached a peak. At that time, dwarves were perhaps not as well-known for forging as they are today. But after the end of that era, a large number of classics, academic research, etc., were destroyed by frequent wars.

Since the Dwarven kingdom is located on the edge of the continent, it is not involved in the quagmire of the continent. So a lot of scientific and technological research has been preserved by the dwarves. After so many years of research and continuous development, the dwarves have not only completely mastered some of the techniques that have been preserved, but also improved and created many new technologies.

And what Joseph needs the dwarves to do is their talent in this area.

To the south of the inner city of Essis, there was an area that was heavily guarded. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach at will. And this place is called the Ordnance Department.

After many checkpoints, Olli finally came to the interior of the Ordnance Division.

I saw that there were many wide roofs built throughout the Ordnance Department. And under the greenhouse, many people are rising with red fruits, seriously building weapons. At this scale, Oli estimates that there must be hundreds of people.

Such a large scale, Olli sighed in his heart, and only the dwarves could see such a large-scale forging workshop. Escis's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Olli is well aware that the strength of a country's war also depends on the number of blacksmiths. Essis has gathered so many blacksmiths, it will definitely not be for fun, I am afraid it has a longer-term goal.

"I see, if you ask me for help, it's definitely not as simple as building weapons." Ollie looked at Joseph.

Joseph smiled and said, "If it's an ordinary matter, how can you trouble Your Excellency?" With that, he took a drawing from the hand of one of the attendants and slowly spread it out in front of Olli.

"Mr. Olli, this is the blueprint of the trebuchet we collected earlier, but a few parts are missing, and I hope to restore it with your strength."

Olli took the drawing and looked at it, and sure enough, it had a drawing of a trebuchet, and at the same time indicated the annotation in the trebuchet section. Unfortunately, this picture is only a sketch, and many things are blurred, especially in the key part of the trebuchet, that is, the torsion device, is still missing. It's no wonder that humanity can't recover.

Olli quietly looked at the drawing contemplative, and Joseph did not bother, standing aside and waiting quietly.

After a while, Olli rolled up the drawing, looked up and said to Joseph, "My lord, I have read this drawing, but I do not recommend that you restore it. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"First of all, from the outside, this trebuchet is a torsion trebuchet. Its range is no more than between 200 and 300 meters. However, neither in size nor in weight, it could not be placed on the city walls to defend against the enemy. Secondly, I also have better options for you. “

"Really? Thank you so much for your help, if it is really made, there will be any trouble for the dwarves in the principality in the future, just tell me. Olli's words were a surprise to Joseph, who knew that dwarves didn't trust humans so easily. But he didn't expect Olli to take the initiative to help him.

In fact, Olli also has his own plans, from the moment he decided to help Escis, he understood that the dwarves had officially intervened in human politics. Having lost a neutral alien race, there is no excuse to stay out of the matter, and the only thing that can be done is to send charcoal in the snow and hand over a favor. That's why Ollie decided to offer a new type of trebuchet that the dwarves had developed.

The two sides reached an agreement, and immediately began to prevent the craftsmen from starting to manufacture. Thanks to the recent expansion of the city, there are still a large number of building materials stored in the warehouse, so there is no need to worry about the use of raw materials. On the other hand, thanks to the large number of skilled craftsmen gathered by Esis, the process of assembling the new trebuchet was also very fast under the technical guidance of the dwarves.

It took about half a day to assemble the first new trebuchet.

The new trebuchet is 6 meters tall and twice as large as the torsion trebuchet used by Chris. But there are three differences.

The first is on leverage. The end of Chris's torsion trebuchet lever is a fixed frame that is used to hold the stone. The new trebuchet, on the other hand, is a bag dangling down. That is, when the trebuchet is working, the lever drives the stone bag to swing, which extends the length of the mechanical arm in disguise. It makes the range longer. According to Oli's calculations, such a trebuchet could reach a range of up to 400 meters.

Then, the torsion trebuchet uses animal tendons, similar to bows and arrows, which rely on the elasticity of the tendons to drive the lever of the robotic arm. But the new trebuchet prevents an iron frame at the other end of the lever. It is used to hold heavy objects, that is, the principle of levers is used. This made it possible to adjust the range of the trebuchet by placing the weight of the weight.

Finally, the hole card in the new trebuchet is a huge winch. The trebuchet can be turned on the spot through this winch, which also enhances the maneuverability of the trebuchet. This allows the trebuchet to strike not only frontally, but also to turn and hit other targets.

The clock ticked noon. After a morning of fierce fighting. Both sides needed to rest, so Chris stopped the siege. It also gave Guy a breather.

At this moment, Guy looked at the behemoth in front of him, and then asked Joseph beside him, "Can this thing really work?" ”

Joseph nodded and said, "Isn't this for you to test?" (To be continued.) )
