204 The Knowledge of Past Lives and the Wonders of the World
"Okay, let's talk about it, let's turn these racks into siege engines. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ciri cried sullenly, although he thought about what the so-called siege engine was precious to Alvin, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"Find a few giant trees and make a trapezoidal ...... on this pedestal To put it simply, make a square thick shelf, and then use the chain to drop a thick log, and the log is cast and inlaid with a piece of pure metal weight......"
"A square shelf was installed on the base of the catapult, covered with a metal skin, and a huge log was hung in the car with chains. This siege vehicle, it's as simple as that? Nothing secret parts? ”
Alvin's eyes widened again, but this time he even had a big mouth.
"Yes. Lord Alvin, but since we are already allies, such a valuable oath scroll. You'd better take it back. Ciri smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, what is this! He welcomes the growing number of allies, of course, but he can't just use them like this one that must be fulfilled.
Through Siri's explanation, the guy with a full face of Losahu calmed down instead. "If you take out what you have in your hand, how can you take it back in a different way? Lord Ciri, I just want to ask, is this kind of siege machine powerful? ”
"It's huge."
"How is it better than a catapult?"
"It works better than a catapult. This is because the siege vehicle must be pushed under the enemy's gate or attack target. Once the city is breached, the soldiers hiding on the ground will be able to directly come out and start the battle. ”
"Can you still hide soldiers?" At this point, Alvin began to do dementia again. In this regard, Ciri didn't respond to him with too many expressions, after all, this guy has been surprised too many times.
After being silent for a while, this Alvin directly took out a huge drawing and handed it over, and Ciri looked at it. Above is an analytic diagram of a giant catapult. Judging from the flat in the corner of the blueprint, this catapult can be said to be armed with iron-inlaid hanging blades to the teeth. Overall, it looks like a metal monster.
The Tomb Tiger Catapult of the Teppler Dynasty has a powerful throwing ability and self-propelled function. However, the reason why this catapult has fallen into a flashy reputation is also here.
First of all, the all-metal body is very expensive, almost dozens of times more than other catapults of the same power. Secondly, even if two soldiers could use their own combat energy to operate themselves, the speed of the car was really not flattering. It's not as good as a soldier running on foot with all his might.
However, from the perspective of Siri, a traverser, I admire the thinking of the designer of this catapult. Of course, this is just admiration. After all, even if it was a real tank in the previous life, it still can't be eaten in this world. Tanks require a complete set of industrial systems to be coordinated. On the other hand, heroes, all of them are superhuman, and the cost of cultivation only requires one treasure. It can be said that with the profession of hero, all the weapons with complex craftsmanship in the previous life could not be promoted in this world.
Do you want to get a physical cannon and make a few copycat tanks?
Shaking his head vigorously, Ciri tried to forget all the unrealistic thoughts in his head. The manufacture of artillery barrels requires a large amount of metal, and it also requires professional furnace casting, which is not at all the conditions of the humble blacksmith shop in the army, which can only be repaired.
"Well, good, this drawing is exactly what we need, but why are you preparing a drawing for such a catapult? I thought, if it's a catapult, or the T-shaped catapult that is common in the mainland, is it more suitable for you, right? ”
"Don't mention it, it's not that I'm young and immature, so I sent someone to collect it on impulse." Alvin said with a sneer. "Brother Xirui, do you really have a way to transform this mound tiger catapult into a siege vehicle?"
"Of course, come and do me a favor."
Smiling at Alvin, Ciri immediately got busy, the Tsukasa Tiger Catapult looked very powerful and terrifying, but in the final analysis, it was still a catapult, so the huge catapult frame pulled in was just right to use. As for the necessary outer skin for siege vehicles, Ciri certainly doesn't have any particularly expensive metal. It was a barracks, and there were weapons and armor pulled from the dead soldiers on both sides.
Soon, a huge siege vehicle like a black beast appeared in front of the two. Of course, the siege machine was not yet equipped with a battering ram. Originally, Xirui planned to use Blue Devil Steel. Throwing out the characteristic that it can save war gas, the physical properties of that metal are comparable to those of the previous high-grade multi-purpose special steel. However, the siege vehicle he modified needed to be equipped with at least a huge ram fifteen meters long and one or two meters in diameter.
With Blue Devil Steel, let's not talk about whether it can be melted or not, just talk about how many soldiers it takes to push such a big thing to crash into the city gate! Look at your half-finished siege truck, and look at the drawings. Ciri really didn't expect that the transformation progress, which had always been very smooth, would be hindered by the problem of siege vehicle ramming. It's too early to give up. Moreover, this Tsukasa Tiger Catapult is not useless.
For example, the combat gas drive device on the car can be called exquisitely designed. Can you also use it to make a copycat version of the artillery? As soon as he told Alvin about this idea, the other party pondered for a while, but also gave him an answer.
"Brother, why is it not in thrust mode, can't you use a twister to slash?"
"Chop?" Ciri smiled. "Lord Alvin, what are you supposed to be? Heavy Armored Knight? Don't forget that we don't have large, high-level Demonic Beast tendons for torque. ”
"No need for Warcraft. I know there's a metal that should satisfy you. This metal is grayish-white, and its specific gravity is very light, about half that of Blue Devil Iron......"
Alvin said again, and Ciri listened attentively. Off-white, half lighter than Blue Devil Iron, with his metallurgical knowledge that was not even half a hanger, he immediately thought of titanium. However, Alvin's later remarks also made him completely dispel this idea.
"However, there is a very strange place about this metal, as long as it is affected by the battle qi, it will move in the opposite direction. The start is very slow, and the power is very small, it is better to throw it directly with battle qi. And after about two or three seconds, the speed and power will reach a considerable level. Many people used to think that this metal could be used to develop a new type of crossbow or a new trebuchet. Me too. But it was the two or three seconds of the initial stage of the metal's war qi that made me fail like many people. ”
"What, and such a strange metal?"
"Yes, but that metal also has a property, that is, once it leaves the battle qi, it immediately returns to its original position."
"Lord Alvin, do you have that kind of metal on you? If so, our siege engine will be completely finished! ”
I originally wanted to play tricks in front of the turtles in another world, but I was shocked by the magic of this world, and Ciri was really a bit of a failure. But he is not a hypocritical person, after all, the most important thing now is to make siege equipment, and the rest should be put aside for now. (To be continued.) )
