Chapter 771: Destroying the Heavens
With the problem of the Rift Collar Snow Elves solved, the entire sky seemed to fall into peace again. It doesn't look much different than before. Of course, there are still many undercurrents under this calm, which devour the lives of those involved in the turbulence.
Of course, these undercurrents are completely irrelevant to Wei Xu. The day after returning to the Half Moon Collar, Harald pulled a lot of things to thank Wei Xu. After the end, the two young men of the same age had a pleasant dinner again, and they drank and chatted and so on, and they will not repeat it. Harald's attitude towards Wei Xu was as good as ever, and the idea of Wei Xu's half-moon leading the horse was obvious in his words. Wei Xu is more and more fond of dealing with Harald, and the support he shows is not to mention for the time being, this attitude alone makes him much more comfortable.
In the next few days, Wei Xu ran to the military factory more often, and the affairs of the Half Moon Collar were all lost to Kuy and Ote. Kuy is powerless to say anything, as long as Wei Xu doesn't want to explore, he already depends on Wei Xu for everything else.
“…… Good thing, Ihad, I didn't think you could actually get this thing out! Wei Xu held a red crystal in his hand, and while controlling the hundred dwarf guards in front of him in his heart, they constantly changed formations, making postures of attacking or defending.
"It's not all my work, I've just made a framework and engraved some runes that I don't quite understand. Speaking of which, it was the Carrett boy who made a lot of efforts, and he found all these things. Ihad didn't mean to take the credit for it, and rubbed his hands together. However, Lord Wei Xu, this kind of control crystal is very rare in the dwarven ruins, and we have only found twenty-three so far. We are currently in the process of returning the fifth batch of wards to bind them to the fifth Control Crystal. ”
"Hmmm! These Dwarven Guards will be the biggest hole cards in our Half Moon Collar, and we will make Dwarven Guards with all our strength at this stage until they are full. Wei Xu took the control crystal and said to Ihad. He wasn't at all afraid of what the people of this factory would do after getting control of so many dwarven guards, because he had just tried, even if he was a dwarven guard controlled by the control crystal, he could still control them at a higher level by working with the dwarven spider that was the central control device, which felt more like the central control system could control those red diamond-shaped control crystals. With such a strict priority, he was not afraid that someone would control these dwarven guards to his detriment.
"And how's the development of our hand crossbow? The idea given to you before should be able to realize the continuous firing of crossbows, right? When Wei Xu got tired of studying, he handed the control crystal back to the apprentice on the side, and looked up at Ihad again.
"Well, my lord, your idea has inspired us a lot, and we have indeed designed a repeating crossbow now, but the various parts inside are too delicate, so it is difficult for us to achieve mass production. We've only had three of them since we decided on the specific style. When it comes to repeating crossbows, Ihad is also a little embarrassed.
After all, they have already designed the drawings of this thing, but the process required for manufacturing is too cumbersome, and some of the parts in it are not at all ready for mass production. The point is that the drawback of this weapon is clear to everyone who has seen it, that is, it is not accurate enough, and if it is to be useful on the battlefield, it must be made to appear in batches, like a foot crossbow. Tens of millions of people are attacked, and the physical damage caused by such a formation is full of both physical damage and psychological damage to the enemy.
"It's so slow......," Wei Xu's brows furrowed unconsciously. He had seen the drawings of the new repeater, and in many places it looked like a miniature version of the pedal crossbow. The only difference from the Foot Crossbow is that it has changed the Foot Coupling device to a hand-pulled one. Fill a new lever on the side of the crossbow machine, pull it back and open the crossbow string in a labor-saving way by the action of the gear, and also bring the crossbow arrows in the arrow box to the arrow groove. When it is pulled to the end, a small mechanism will be set off to release the crossbow string and fire the crossbow arrow.
The problem now is that as soon as this large piece is reduced, the gears inside will be uniformly reduced. As soon as the gear chain is reduced, the difficulty of manufacturing it will increase dramatically. It is not impossible to speak of mass production, provided that enough blacksmiths are employed.
"yes...... If only we could find those dwarven machines that can make such delicate objects......" Ihad sighed helplessly when he heard Wei Xu's words.
Hearing Ihad's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Wei Xu's mind, and at this moment, he even had an urge to fan himself. Make this kind of machining lathe yourself! If you don't know this process before, it's hard to realize. Now there is a dwarven mechanical lathe in front of you! Let these blacksmiths dismantle one and study it carefully, and they will definitely be able to make something more elaborate!
It seems that he has really been in this world for too long, causing his mind to be about to be assimilated by this world. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! If I could have discovered this kind of problem as soon as possible and let these blacksmiths make lathes for mass production, where would I have a headache because of the lack of war materials?!
"My lord......" Ihad listened to Wei Xu's thoughts in front of him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"What? You don't have the confidence to take that dwarven lathe apart and put it back together? ”
"No...... It's not ......"
"Or do you not have the confidence to build me all the lathes I need based on the structure inside?"
"It's not ...... either"
"Then why are you still stunned? Go and gather the men to get started! Every minute you drag on now is a huge loss for us! ”
"Yes!" Looking at the back of Ihad leaving, Wei Xu finally took advantage of this time to reward himself with a shock. He is not a science and engineering man, and he doesn't know anything about this kind of mechanical problems. But he remembered the qualitative changes brought about by the appearance of vapor power on the earth! Manpower is limited, and the power of machines can be said to be unlimited!
Look at yourself, now you are guarding a steam power system that can be said to be the largest and most complete in the whole sky, and you haven't thought about developing and using it for so many years! It's really a tyrannical thing! If this thing had been done for those who had enough knowledge, it would have been a long time ago to spread dwarven technology in the sky......
