Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bed Crossbow
For the next three days, Meng Chen often went out with the hunting party to hunt medium-threat creatures.
Although the medium-threat creatures in the northern part of the basin have been killed after a large-scale clean-up some time ago, medium-threat creatures occasionally break into the northern part of the basin in the southern part of the basin. For the safety of the hunting team, Meng Chen could only personally lead the hunting team and kill these intruding medium-threat creatures.
Three days passed in a flash, and a scholar came to the town hall, handed a roll of animal skin paper to Meng Chen, and said, "Lord Lord, the design drawings of the bed crossbow have been improved!" ”
Instrument drawing: three-bow bed crossbow (white)
Firing range: 500 meters
Charge: C+
Toughness: C+
Special Effect: +20% Range
After taking the drawings in the scholar's hand and examining them carefully, Meng Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" I'm sorry for you! ”
"It's my honor to serve my lord!" The scholar said with a smile and bowing.
"It would be better if it could be free!" Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.
After the scholar left, Meng Chen summoned the blacksmith, carpenter, Ellie, and others to the town hall.
The design drawings of the bed crossbow were handed over to everyone to circulate to each other.
After everyone had seen it, Meng Chen asked, "With the materials that the City of Hope currently has, can you make a three-bow bed crossbow according to the design drawings?" ”
One of the carpenters replied, "My lord, the three-bow bed crossbow consists mainly of a crossbow frame, a crossbow, a crossbow string, a trigger, a pulley, a gear, a winch shaft, and a crossbow arrow. Crossbow frames, crossbows, triggers, and winches, as long as there is enough white quality wood, can be made independently by the carpenter's shop. Pulleys, gears, and crossbow arrows require the cooperation of a blacksmith. As for the crossbow string, there are currently no suitable materials. The material, strength and toughness of the crossbow string must reach C+ at the same time to meet the design requirements of the drawings. ”
When Meng Chen heard this, he asked the blacksmith: "The carpenter shop needs the cooperation of the blacksmith shop, do you have any problems?" ”
The blacksmith replied, "My lord, as long as there is white quality metal, we can work with the carpenter to make pulleys, gears, and crossbow arrows. ”
"White quality metal? Looks like I'm going to the trading market again! Meng Chen muttered.
Meng Chen nodded and said, "No problem!" I'll find a way to get white quality metal. ”
Then, Meng Chen looked at Ellie and asked with some hesitation, "Ellie, can you solve the material of the crossbow string?" ”
Ellie promised, "My lord, if you give me two more days, I will definitely be able to make a qualified crossbow string material!" ”
"That's great!" Meng Chen said with a happy face, "From now on, the carpenter shop and the blacksmith shop will make all efforts to make parts for the three-bow bed crossbow. I hope to see the first three-bow bed crossbow soon! ”
"Yes! Your Lord! The crowd responded.
After the group left the town hall, Meng Chen went to the trading market, consumed 12 gold coins to buy 1 unit of metal (white), and ordered the coachman to send it to the blacksmith's shop.
Fortunately, it was only a part of the parts for the three-bow bed crossbow, and the amount of white quality metal was not large, otherwise Meng Chen might have to go bankrupt again.
Two days later, Ellie arrives at the town hall.
Holding a long rope the thickness of her little finger, Ellie said to Meng Chen, "Lord Lord, this mixed tendon should be able to meet the requirements!" ”
"Really?" Meng Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately checked the attributes of the long rope in Ellie's hand through the light curtain in his mind.
Mixed tendon (white)
Intensity: C+
Toughness: C+
Note: Made from beef tendons mixed with plant fibers, it's a great material for bowstrings and crossbows!
"C+ in strength and toughness, Ellie, you're amazing!" Meng Chen laughed.
Ellie smiled happily, "As long as the lord is satisfied!" ”
Meng Chen immediately took Ellie to the carpenter's shop.
Handing the mixed tendon made by Ellie to the carpenter, Meng Chen asked, "Can this mixed tendon make the crossbow string of a three-bow bed crossbow?" ”
After a closer inspection, the carpenter nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”
Meng Chen exhaled in his heart and continued to ask, "How many sets of parts for the three-bow bed crossbow have been made?" ”
Pointing to the pile of bed crossbow parts in the bunk, the carpenter replied, "My lord, if there are enough mixed tendons, there are enough parts here to assemble four three-bow bed crossbows." ”
Seeing Meng Chen's gaze looking at her, Ellie immediately said, "Lord Lord, this mixed tendon is only enough for a three-bow bed crossbow. The remaining four-horned monster tendons should be able to make four mixed tendons of the same length. ”
Meng Chen ordered, "In that case, let's assemble a three-bow bed crossbow first, and let me try its power!" ”
"Yes! Your Lord! The four carpenters immediately began to get busy.
After more than an hour, the three-bow bed crossbow was finally assembled.
This three-bow bed crossbow with a length of five meters, a width of three meters and a height of one and a half meters, is divided into two halves, the upper and lower halves, and the total weight is nearly one ton.
The upper part of the three-bow bed crossbow consists of a triple charging structure of the front, main and rear bows, a trigger that holds the crossbow string and a twisting shaft that provides tension.
The lower part of the three-bow bed crossbow consists of a movable crossbow carriage and four column bases.
Meng Chen gathered a hunting team and slowly carried the three-bow bed crossbow to the edge of the city.
Placing the three-bow bed crossbow in front of an open area, Meng Chen asked the archer instructor beside him, "Will you use the three-bow bed crossbow?" ”
Looking at the three-bow bed crossbow, the archer instructor nodded and said, "Lord Lord, there should be no problem!" ”
Pointing to a big tree in the distance, Meng Chen said, "Then try to shoot an arrow, target the big tree two hundred meters away." ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Under the command of the archer instructor, four swordsmen worked together to turn the winch of the three-bow bed crossbow.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
The winch drives the gears and pulleys, and the crossbow strings of the three-bow bed crossbow are slowly buckled into the hook.
Then, the archer instructor placed a crossbow arrow with a length of one meter and six meters long and the thickness of a wrist on the crossbow rail.
After everything was ready, the archer instructor said to Meng Chen, "Lord Lord, it's ready!" “
Meng Chen waved his hand and said, "Launch!" ”
The shooter instructor immediately pulls the trigger, boom!
After a dull sound, the bolt turned into a phantom and shot at the target.
Boom~!
In less than a breath, a loud noise was heard in the distance.
The bolt hit the target, sticking straight into the trunk of the big tree two hundred meters away.
Meng Chen and his party came to the big tree, and at this time, the exposed part of the crossbow arrow was only about one meter, and the tips of the remaining more than half a meter were all submerged into the trunk.
The power of the three-bow bed crossbow did not disappoint Meng Chen, Meng Chen nodded with satisfaction, and secretly said in his heart: "This kind of power, as long as you hit a crossbow arrow, it should be enough to severely damage the King Kong orangutan, right?" ”
