Chapter 535: Upgrading Weapons
On the night of the half-moon collar, especially the night of the starry night and the moon, anyone who looks up can clearly see the stars in the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Boss...... We're not going to stay here all night, are we? In the deep pit, the Nord, who was about to be thinned into a bamboo pole, asked the green-skinned orc next to him, who was wearing a roughly sewn garment of animal fur.
"Humph!" The orc glared at his companion viciously and turned his head away, apparently ignoring him.
"Boss ......"
"Shut up! You idiot! Didn't you swear to me before that the cat man was camped here? What about people?! How is there only one pit! "Seeing that this thin man is going to open his mouth to say something, the orc who is called the boss is very unhappy." If it weren't for our people still behind, I would definitely choose to pull out your tendons and make a rope to climb up! ā
On the official road southwest of the small forest, a cat man who looked old was walking slowly. Although it was already night, he still walked lazily, as if he was not afraid of the night in the wilderness.
"Wow, wow~" Under this quiet moonlit night, the strange thing is not that this cat man who seems to have just eaten a full meal and came out to do a dusk food and walk, but that there is actually a red guard wearing a cyan cloth suit opposite him. What's even more bizarre is that neither of them lit torches, nor did they use any lighting spells, so they met on the bluestone road after the moonlight. "Edifier Terga, at your service."
The oncoming Redguard saluted deeply to the cat man, his tone was full of respect, and he did not change because the person in front of him was one of the most notorious cat people in the Skyrim race: "I don't know if I can play a song for you for free?" ā
"No, you can't!" Unexpectedly, this cat man who loves to take advantage of this guy actually exploded as if he had seen a natural enemy.
"It's free~" The Red Guard Bard looked at the cat man in front of him fixedly, and his tone was full of temptation.
"Nope! No! The cat man said, staggered Terga in two steps, and hurried to the road. As he walked, he underestimated: "Damn, why is this guy in this place...... It shouldn't be......"
Terga let the cat man staggered with him like this, smiling and not doing anything to stop him.
"Lord...... Wei Xu? It wasn't until McQuay was gone that Terga muttered in a tone that she could only use.
Far away in the dwarven black workshop of the Half Moon Collar.
Wei Xu, who was watching Ihad and a group of senior blacksmiths analyze and experiment on this dwarven ballista, shuddered unconsciously.
Is it cold? Wei Xu looked at the flames in the fireplace, took a sip of the soup that had just been served, and continued to listen with interest to the discussion of a few guys on how to change the half-moon collar bed crossbow according to the parts of the dwarven ballista, so that it has the ability to fire continuously.
In this regard, Wei Xu, a physical scumbag, has no right to speak, not to mention whether his physical knowledge on the earth is useful or not, it is not certain to say, he can make a bed crossbow and a twister based on his impression. After all, there is no Newton in this world, let alone Newton's coffin board. Even if the old guy who worshiped God in his later years was lucky enough to cross into this world, then it would be a peerless god stick instead of preaching any physical knowledge.
Fortunately, in the hands of this group of blacksmiths, there are now real objects unearthed from the dwarven ruins, and a mage who is more knowledgeable about dwarves is on his side to assist, and with a little modification, several plans can be listed.
"My lord......" Ihad walked over to Wei Xu with the plan that had finally been decided. After the discussion we just had, we finally decided on this plan. ā
Wei Xu looked at the last drawing that was placed in front of him, and the scribbled notes on it made him a little unrecognizable for a while. But fortunately, Ihad was on the side to explain to him, which also saved him from embarrassment: "My lord, after our analysis, it is completely impossible to completely abandon the process of human winding. Mainly because the power source in the dwarven ballista is a power circle that only those who are proficient in dwarven knowledge can understand, and we can't even do a simple copy. ā
As he spoke, Ihad pointed to the part of the crossbow trigger that used to be in the bed, and continued: "However, we borrowed the above modification of the crossbow string, with the help of the forging facilities left over from the workshop, we can mass-produce dwarf gears, and by making a gear linkage, we can pull the crossbow string with very little force. ā
With Ihad's explanation, Wei Xu can be regarded as understanding this model. It feels like an improved version of the fixed twister has been added to the crossbow, and the gear with a metal crank on the outside is presumably the place where the human twist is required. It is said that it is an improved version of Wei Xu's stranding machine, but in fact, a discerning person knows at a glance that Wei Xu's version is just a simplified and crude version of this dwarf artifact, and its only merit is that it is small and lightweight.
With Wei Xu's gaze, Ihad also said that the metal handle at the end was here: "This place was originally the place where the dwarf formation was installed, but now we can only replace it with manpower, and I hope it will not cost much at that time." Once the strings are in place, a bolt will pop out of the bolt magazine where we copied the dwarven ballista. At this time, as long as we rotate a little more, the first ring of the linkage will enter a clutch state, and the force of pulling on the crossbow string will be lost in an instant, so as to achieve the purpose of firing. ā
Wei Xu looked at the diagram in front of him, and as Ihad explained further, he also imagined how this thing would work. I have to say that there is a reason why the dwarf machine can still flourish in this world dominated by magic and force, and the skill of automatic clutch of the gear after twisting the string to the limit alone is enough to make Wei Xu, a guy who has received a certain amount of popularity on the earth, stunned for a long time.
"Can the current technology make these things?" Wei Xu looked at several key places in the construction diagram and asked a little apprehensively. After all, design is just design, and being able to build it is the key.
"Hey...... There are a few key parts in the middle, and we can't rely on manpower alone. But my lord, the crafting table controlled by the dwarven spider workers in the workshop can easily mass-produce these parts. Ihad smiled at Wei Xu, his tone full of confidence. As long as they go all out to make these parts, then the speed at which we can produce bed crossbows in our territory will not change much! We can even recycle the bed crossbows that have already been sent out, so it's even faster! ā
"Hmm...... That's good......" Wei Xu squinted at the drawings in front of him, and finally said coldly: "The gear in the handle can be considered to increase or decrease the radius, try how big it is the most labor-saving and convenient, and the rest will come according to what you said, start work now, first install it on the finished product, I want to see the finished product before dawn tomorrow!" ā
"Yes! My lord! Although I didn't understand why the lord cared so much about the gear at the handle, but thinking that the knowledge of this dwarf must be more profound than that of a blacksmith himself, Ihad did not hesitate to respond.
