Chapter 694: Repeater Upgrade

The Mo Evil Armory Workshop is quite magnificent, covering an area of four hectares, which is larger than the Guangding semicolon, and there are more than a dozen buildings with cornices and corners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as I entered the armory, I heard the sound of clanging iron.

When passing by the edge of those buildings, Mo Wufeng pointed to those buildings and introduced them to Song Qi one by one, which were blunt weapon workshop, sharp weapon workshop, soldier chariot workshop, punch car workshop, shield workshop, arrow workshop, bow and crossbow workshop...

Behind the shield archway, the bow and crossbow workshop is a large courtyard composed of one main and two compartments. The wing room is a warehouse for storing bows and crossbows, and the main house is divided into more than a dozen forging rooms of different sizes, the large forging room has more than a dozen forging positions, which can accommodate more than a dozen craftsmen to work at the same time, and the small forging room has only one or two forging positions, which is the workplace of craftsmen belonging to the engineer level.

Entering the bow and crossbow workshop, the sound of ping-pong is endless.

"Song Yuma, this forging room has been vacated, and it will be used for you in the next two days." Mo Wufeng led everyone to the door of a forging room with only two forging positions, and said with a smile to Song Qi.

Song Qi raised his eyes and looked at this forging room, there were two forging positions inside, on the forging position there were all kinds of tools such as forging hammers and iron tongs, two stoves and two cauldrons, several half-finished bows and crossbows were placed against the wall, and on the other side were a lot of forging materials such as pig iron tungsten steel meteorite.

"Thank you, Master Mo!" Song Qi thanked Mo Wufeng, walked to the side of the carriage, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said to Mo Wufeng with a smile: "There are a hundred gold bricks in it, I will use it to make a repeater, and another two thousand silver bricks, please make me a thousand silver arrows, and another ten thousand ordinary crossbow arrows, and the rest of the gold and silver will be used as the capital of your furnace." ”

Mo Wufeng's eyes straightened when he saw it. A repeater can use up to fifty gold bricks, a thousand silver arrows can use up to five hundred silver bricks, and finally there are fifty gold bricks and a thousand silver bricks left. As for 10,000 ordinary crossbow arrows, the cost is not even a silver brick. This Song Horse is too generous! Originally, he was looking at Zhan Dazhao's face, and planned to give it to Song Qi for free. After a while, he came back to his senses, opened his eyes to Song Qimei and smiled: "Song Juma is too polite, your old man uses our weapons workshop, what else do you need to moisten the furnace." ”

"If Master Mo doesn't accept it, I'll go to another armory." Song Qi smiled slightly and made a gesture to leave.

"This... This... Mo Wufeng spread his hands and stammered with joy.

"Master Mo, Song Suma tells you to accept it, just accept it." Zhan Dazhao raised his hand and patted Mo Wufeng's broad and sturdy back, and said with a big grin.

"Okay, since the two horses said so, then I'm disrespectful!" Mo Wufeng smiled, and the scars on his face shone brightly.

"Brother Song, then you can build a repeater here with peace of mind. I'm going to go to the military headquarters. Zhan Dazhao said goodbye to Song Qi with a fist.

"Brother Zhan is bothered!" Song Qi also thanked Zhan Dazhao for his apologies.

Mo Wufeng personally lit the stove on fire, and then ordered his craftsmen to move the two thousand silver bricks to the Arrow Workshop.

Song Qi had successfully built a repeater with very rudimentary tools in Ling Xue's house in Longwei Mountain, but now that he had experience and had all the tools here, it was not difficult for him to build a repeater.

Song Qi followed the appearance of the old-fashioned repeater, made some improvements, and redesigned a repeater. This repeater has a streamlined beauty and is more suitable for one-handed holding.

"Gold weighs more than twice as much as tungsten steel, and a crossbow of the same size, made of gold, should weigh more than twice as much as a tungsten steel repeater. The weight of the crossbow body has increased, and the range of the crossbow arrow will definitely increase accordingly. Song Qi looked down at the drawings he had designed, and said confidently.

Although his old-fashioned repeater had a range of more than a dozen paces longer than a normal bow and arrow, the advantage was not obvious. If you face a large number of enemies, that slight advantage will not be brought into play at all. The reason why Song Qi wanted gold to build a repeater was to make the range of the crossbow arrows longer. In warfare, long-range control is a top priority.

Next, Song Qi began to put the gold bricks into the hot furnace one by one, and the gold bricks turned red and deformed under the high temperature cautery, making a sizzling sound. Song Qi used iron tongs to clamp a few almost melted gold bricks and put them on the forging table, and used a tungsten steel hammer to forge them in ping-pong. Soon, several gold bricks were forged and fused together to become a twisted gold bar, through which the purity and density of the gold became higher and denser. Song Qi put it into the furnace again, and at the same time picked up another molten gold brick and forged it.

It took half a day of work for Song Qi to forge forty-nine gold bricks, and forged these forty-nine gold bricks into a gold bar more than one zhang long.

After another half a day's work, Song Qi folded and forged the gold bar more than a zhang long three times, forming the shape of a repeater, but it had not yet been loaded with the crossbow slot box, trigger and bowstring.

If you only use gold bricks to put together a repeater, it is estimated that twenty pieces are enough, but Song Qi used forty-nine gold bricks, and the body of this golden bow and crossbow alone weighs one hundred and seventeen catties, which is three times the weight of the old-fashioned repeater.

Song Qi tied the cow tendon on both sides of the bow and crossbow, tried to pull the bowstring, and pulled it a little harder, and the cow tendon would break. Even if a few beef tendons were replaced, most of them were broken. The tendon could not withstand any more tension, and could not pull the crossbow apart at all, let alone get to the position of the stuck string.

"Ox tendon is the material of an ordinary bowstring, and it can only support a range of less than one hundred and fifty paces. It seems that to shoot farther, in addition to increasing the weight of the crossbow, more tension is required. Old-fashioned repeaters used ox tendon as a bowstring, which may not be able to support greater tension. It seems that a better toughness material is needed for the bowstring. What material is tougher? ”

Song Qi felt a headache, if this was the case, the golden repeater would be forfeited. He walked anxiously around the forge room, muttering to himself, "What material should be used for the bowstring?" ”

Song Qi thought for a long time, suddenly patted his head, and suddenly realized: "The Silkworm Soft Armor is extremely tough, why don't I take out a few threads from the Silkworm Soft Armor as the bowstring of the Golden Repeater." ”

As soon as he thought of it, he saw that there was no one left and right, so he quietly took out the Silkworm Soft Armor from the ring, carefully pulled out a dozen silk threads from the hem of the soft armor, and then put the soft armor back into the ring.

He used half of the silk thread to make the bone thread of the bowstring, and the other half of the silk thread was wrapped horizontally, and a very strong string was quickly made.

Tightening the silkworm string rope on the bow and crossbow, Song Qi tried to pull the bowstring again.

"Crunch~" The golden crossbow was pulled apart, and with more force in the hand, the bowstring gradually turned into an arrow-shaped shape, and moved backwards to the position of the stuck string.

"Haha, it worked!" Song Qi was overjoyed, and quickly took out an ordinary crossbow arrow, put it on the crossbow, and strode out of the forging room... (To be continued.) )
