345 Little White Town, a terrifying armament technology base

In the blink of an eye, it was November of the year 189 of the game calendar. In November, there were no major wars of the eye, except for the ongoing skirmishes between players in various states and counties. Because the plot of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass will soon enter at the beginning of next year, various large alliance forces are preparing for this super battle.

At this time, Xiaobai Town had just completed the initial industrial adjustment and put all its thoughts into construction. Almost every day, Little White Town can collect a large number of rare drawings from the town's market, allowing Little White Town's craftsmen to learn new skills.

Zhan Xiaobai personally guided in the craftsman area, and a number of NPC masters and grandmaster-level craftsmen such as Tie Dabing and Mu Dalu were busy in the craftsman area.

The original NPC population in Xiaobai Town has decreased rapidly, but the quality has improved significantly, and those who remain are elite backbone craftsmen, each of whom has mastered one or several high-tech skills. In terms of production in Xiaobai Town, a major adjustment has also been made. Conventional types of armament are rarely produced anymore. A large number of newly acquired drawings were handed over to senior craftsmen and master craftsmen for practical use. And recruit new NPCs to become apprentices to old craftsmen and master new skills.

The craftsmen of Xiaobai Town put all their strength into the production of four types of strategic materials: high-end, complex, rare, and special, weapons and equipment with these four characteristics.

High-end: Weapons and equipment above level 50, usually high-end. Levels 20~40 below this level belong to the low and mid-range.

Including conventional armor, weapons, etc., although they are conventional weapons, the level of manufacturing technology required is still very high. At present, only a small number of high-level towns can produce a very small amount of this type of weaponry. It's hard to find even this type of product on the market.

Since there is no one on the market, Zhan Xiaobai has no choice but to let his craftsmen produce it, otherwise he will not have anything to want. Therefore, Xiaobaizhen did not completely stop the production of such weapons.

Weapons above level 50 usually have their own names, such as fish scale armor in armor (equipment used by level 50 generals), black light armor/bright light armor (level 50 heavy soldier equipment), ring lock armor, horse armor (level 50 heavy cavalry armor), and so on. And among the weapons.

Don't think it's easy to produce a pair of grade 50 fish scale armor, a skilled master craftsman can make a pair of such armor in 30 days. It takes at least 10 days to repair a pair of damaged, durable and depleting fish scale armor.

Because the chain mail process is extremely cumbersome, the iron is made into armor pieces, and then beaten, coarsely grinded, perforated, wrongly "acupoint", and cut, wrong-edged, and finely ground; After the nail piece is processed, it is woven into a nail with a leather strip, and the inside is a hanging. The entire manufacturing process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Consuming such a long game time to produce a piece of equipment can only be achieved in a powerful village or town above the town. If an ordinary village wants to rely on this for food, I am afraid that it will starve to death, and the weapons and equipment have not yet been produced.

Therefore, even if it is Xiaobai Town, it can only arrange a thousand high-level craftsmen to produce such high-grade armor on a small scale at most, and a thousand pieces of high-grade armor can be obtained in a month, which is considered a good output. It is even possible to form a thousand-man army.

In addition to a part of his own generals, it is also sold to a wealthy high-level player customer base in Wuwei County, and the profit is quite high.

In addition to high-end armor, there are also a variety of high-end weapons, which need to be produced by manpower.

In Zhan Xiaobai's planning, the total investment of NPC manpower invested by Xiaobai Town in "high-end" weapons and equipment will not exceed 4000~5000 people. The remaining major NPC Craftsmen will be mainly engaged in complex production.

Complex: crossbows, heavy equipment (chariots, catapults, catapults, catapults, bed crossbows, field turrets, catapults, thunderbolts, flint carts, boats, vehicles、.......

The crossbow, this weapon was listed by Zhan Xiaobai as the first among the complex weapons, and it is also the top priority in Xiaobai Town's future weapon production.

The reason is not only because of the complexity of the crossbow's construction, but also because it is the only weapon that does not require much training to become proficient, and even a new soldier can quickly become a master.

Whether it's a player warrior or an NPC soldier. When they are fighting, they all have a question of combat proficiency.

A player who has never learned a sword in real life will enter the game without knowing how to use a sword, and the only thing he can do is to learn from a master and slash at the enemy desperately, so that the opponent's HP is out and he wins.

Only a very small number of professional players and martial artists know how to use cold weapons in a regular way. (It's hilarious that a large number of players enter the game and automatically become martial arts masters.) Ordinary players actually pursue the passion of fighting in the game, and are not too interested in the fighting technology itself. ）

Knives, swords, bows, guns, each of these weapons have their own basic usage, and it often takes months or even years to master the essence. A master needs to be trained for three months for a stick, five years for a sword, and ten years for a gun to be considered a master. To practice a bow, it depends more on talent.

Ordinary players don't have so much effort to master the knock on the door. They are very happy to cut around on the battlefield, using swords as swords, swords as swords, spears as clubs, and bows as flat bears, but in fact, they are all very common, and no one pays attention to them.

Whether a warrior with an archer can 'shoot' at a target a hundred meters away is a serious question.

The crossbow is the easiest to use of all weapons. Aim straight ahead, snap down the plate, and you're done. Similar to a pistol, it is unusually simple, and the hit rate is extremely high, far from being comparable to a bow.

The crossbow warrior in the game is usually more popular than the bow warrior.

It's just that few villages in the game know how to make crossbows, but many villages can make bows, so bow warriors are currently the mainstream ranged combat units in the game.

On the battlefield, the greater the number of archers, the less you need to aim accurately, just cover the "shooting" arrows in the same direction, and destroy the enemy army with a large area of arrows. This reduced the technical requirements of the bow warrior to a certain extent.

The advantages of the crossbow are obvious, but so are the disadvantages.

Because the manufacture of a crossbow is very complicated, far more complicated than a bow and arrow. The use of crossbows requires a high strength value, and players with extremely high strength can only pull high-level crossbows.

Zhan Xiaobai now has a large number of crossbow drawings in his hands, and has transferred a large number of senior craftsmen in Xiaobai Town to learn how to make crossbows.

There is a wide range of weapons in the crossbow series:

Normal individual type: Level 30 Light Crossbow (100 steps), Level 40 Strong Crossbow (200 steps), Level 50 Heavy Crossbow (400 steps, the standard weapon of heavy armored crossbowmen...... Solo "".

Giant Multiplayer: Level 60 Repeater (mounted on the city wall), Level 70 Bed Crossbow (a moving ballista that fires a Giant Crossbow. The crossbow is extremely powerful, using a wheel uranium and a noose to twist the bow, and the crossbow body is mounted on a wooden frame to increase stability. The arrows used in the bed crossbow are like a beam, and the cluster is like a giant axe, and the "shooting" range can reach more than 500 steps, and the lethality is huge), and the level 90 large bed crossbow (the "shooting" range is 1,000 steps, which can penetrate thick wooden walls, stone walls, and giant defensive shields...... Multiple people "" it.

The crossbow of the individual soldier type is composed of four parts: the crossbow arm, the crossbow, the bowstring and the crossbow machine. All four parts must be made by a skilled craftsman to produce a semi-finished part, and finally assembled by a master crossbowsmith.

The "crossbow arm" is generally wooden, which belongs to the wooden skill;

The "crossbow bow" is across the front of the arm, and a composite bow made of multi-layer bamboo and wood chips is used, which is similar to a flat shoulder, so it is also called "crossbow bear", which belongs to the bow skills;

"Bowstring" belongs to the leather musculoskeletal skill;

The "crossbow machine" is mounted at the back of the arm.

The most important part of the crossbow is the "crossbow machine", which is generally made of copper, which belongs to the copper skill. It is mounted in the "guo" (box-shaped) of the crossbow, with a hook for hanging strings in the front and a crosshair for aiming in the back, which is engraved with a scale to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the crossbow fire according to the target distance and improve the hit rate of the shot. The difference in the level of the crossbow lies in the advanced and complex level of these four parts, especially the precision of the "crossbow machine". The more advanced the crossbow, the better it is made, and the more lethal it is. A level 50 crossbowman can easily "shoot" a level 30 light crossbowman.

It is rare for a single master craftsman to master the manufacture of four different types of components at the same time.

Therefore, a high-level craftsman who has mastered the assembly of a level 50 crossbow cannot make a level 50 crossbow. It is also necessary to have several high-level craftsmen who are skilled in the manufacture of the four major parts of the crossbow to work together in production. Level 50 crossbow assembly drawings belong to high-end complex types of drawings, and even if an ordinary village has such a drawing, it will not be used. It is more practical to exchange it for ordinary type high-level craftsmen.

Zhan Xiaobai used up nearly 100 of the crossbow manufacturing drawings of level 30~50 that he had recently obtained, so that senior craftsmen could learn and manufacture them.

His goal is not just to produce level 30, 40, and 50 crossbows. Rather, it is to train a large number of crossbowmen, and prepare talents for the large-scale production of powerful and more complex weapons in the future, such as level 60 repeater crossbows and level 70 bed crossbows.

One can imagine how much shock and fear it will bring to the enemy when there will be a rolling convoy of heavy crossbowmen, crossbow cavalry, and bed crossbow caravans on the battlefield in the future.

Zhan Xiaobai will continue to invest up to 5,000 craftsmen in the crossbow series of weapons.

In addition to the crossbow series of weapons,

There are also heavy equipment (chariots, catapults, catapults, ramming, field turrets, catapults, thunderbolts, flint carts, cars, boats, etc.), which are the focus of development, and up to 5,000 craftsmen will continue to be invested in these areas.

In terms of high-end and complexity, Xiaobaizhen will consume more than 15,000 craftsmen. The remaining 5,000 quotas will be used for rare and special types.

Rare:

There are a lot of rare blueprints in the game.

Treasure belongs to this type, treasure-level weapons, can be produced in quantities, a high-level craftsman can produce a treasure in a few months.

As for the weapons and equipment above the artifact, there is only one piece in the entire game, and it cannot be produced again. Like Chixiao (Emperor Han Gao's sword to cut the snake), Qinghong (Xiahou Enzhi), Yitian (Cao Cao), Shu Eight Swords, Zhenshan Sword (Liu Chan), Three Swords (Cao Pi), Scribe Sword (Yang Xiu), Double-strand Sword (Liu Bei), Qinglong Yanyue Knife (Guan Yu), Zhang Eight Point Steel Spear (Zhang Fei) and so on all belong to the artifact level, the real best weapons in the game, can be encountered but not sought.

Special type: auxiliary type.

On some special occasions, it is a magical weapon that can achieve the effect of earth-shattering ghosts and gods.

The lantern used by Zhan Xiaobai in the battle to destroy the Yellow Turban is a special type of weapon. Normally, this is not a weapon at all, but it has achieved amazing results. In all the villages, lanterns are secretly developed as weapons for field fire attacks.

Special types of items are often inconspicuous, but since they exist, they must have their value.

Zhan Xiaobai has collected several copies of the formula for flammable "sex" and "gunpowder", which is an extremely rare item in the game for the alchemist profession to be transferred. However, they can also be used for other purposes, such as making arrows for fire.

Zhan Xiaobai specially built an NPC Danshi research laboratory to study the technology of making "rockets". If they can find its high value, they will immediately promote this technology among the craftsmen of Xiaobaizhen.

In addition, all the strange and strange items in the game will be made in a special research room in Xiaobai Town to conduct professional research. In addition, there are hundreds of professions in the game, in addition to the mainstream combat professions, there are also poetry, calligraphy, piano, painting, dance, drums, feng shui, witches, and many other rare professions, and it is difficult for players of these professions to find their own suitable weapons, because most villages and towns will not produce weapons for these professions.

White Town will research each class in the game separately and make related weapon products.

Thousands of high-level drawings of various new technologies have been put into use, and the highly intelligent masters and grandmaster NPCs who are usually obsessed with manufacturing technology are screaming with excitement, and they immediately bury themselves in new work to produce these things.

A group of NPC craftsmen who have been promoted to the grandmaster level cultivated by Xiaobaizhen such as Tie Dabing and Mu Dalu don't look down on general technology at all, and they rarely make ordinary products in person, only this kind of high-grade high-level manufacturing drawings can attract them to study and research.

Zhan Xiaobai arranged the workplaces of the NPC craftsmen and did not "interfere" in their research and development work. After the results came out, they would naturally discuss with the sword master and carry out mass manufacturing.
