The only of these weapons that can be mass-produced is the slings used by the Army's Divine Envoy Legion.

The only material needed for the slings is ant silk, which can be secreted by the ant larvae in "Dongyang City", which is not uncommon.

Although it is now limited to production and other uses (ant silk can also be used to make silk beds, ropes, etc.), the output of raw materials in one day is enough to make fifty slings, but after a few dozen days, the total output will soon be enough to popularize the front-line troops.

The ammunition needed for the sling, the protagonist chooses the clay bullet after weighing it. Although the penetration and lethality of pottery bullets are slightly lower than those of stone bullets, pottery bullets are easy to make and can be fired in large quantities in the combustion chamber, which is not technically difficult, and is far easier and faster than collecting stone bullets. What's more, if the stone bullet wants to achieve the right shape, it will take a lot of time and energy of the worker ants to polish it one by one.

Moreover, the relatively more brittle pottery projectile will shatter and splash after hitting the target, which can damage and destroy the fragile compound eyes, antennae and arthropods of nearby enemies, especially the silk thread parasite on the back of parasitic ants, which makes up for its lack of power to a certain extent.

After determining the weapons that should be equipped, the protagonist gathers fifty worker ants and officially forms a weapon-making workshop.

The manufacturing workshop is located in a newly excavated group of nest rooms, spear and javelin workshops share a nest room, and the catapult single uses a nest room, and there are also raw material warehouses, finished product warehouses, worker ant dormitories and soldier ant dormitories.

Thirty strong soldier ants are in charge of protecting the weapon-making workshop, which has only one entrance and exit to the main nest.

The backbone of the weapon-making workshop is ten worker ants who work with the protagonist to complete the manufacturing work when making experimental weapons, and the protagonist names the most intelligent one of them "Baigong", and she is responsible for the management of the entire workshop.

Although the protagonists pass on the relevant technical and process information packages to the worker ants, they still need time to slowly explore and improve the technology as much as possible under the leadership of the veteran.

The spear and javelin groups are currently limited to raw materials, with ten workers each. The Slingling Group has 30 worker ants, which is the largest production group.

After a short run-in, there were no symbolic ceremonies such as ribbon cutting, and this epoch-making weapon-making workshop was officially started silently.

For the first time, the protagonist focuses on the progress of the Slings, who are divided into three squads according to the plan he has made.

The first team of 10 worker ants is responsible for obtaining the ant glue and pulling the ant glue that has not yet dried into thicker ant silk.

The second team consists of fifteen worker ants, each of whom forms a small team to weave the slings.

Since ants do not have the dexterous five fingers of humans, each ant can only use a maximum of four arthropods when it comes to delicate work, similar to the function of four human fingers.

The three worker ants can use a total of 12 arthropods, and under the command of one of the worker ants, they can basically replace the weaving work that needs to be completed by one person.

The last team of five worker ants is responsible for quality inspection, and they tear the finished catapult hard to see if there is any damage. They will also try to use the clay rope with the clay bullet in a circle overhead to verify the smoothness of the weapon.

The catapult group introduced the concept of assembly line production, while the spear and javelin groups were mixed together to facilitate future expansion.

It took five days for the Weapons Workshop to produce the first batch of 100 slings, which were checked by the protagonist and delivered to the Southern Fortress. The protagonist personally escorts the weapons.

After arriving at the fortress without any danger, the protagonist gathers the commanders who are stationed at the fortress.

These days, the defenders of the fortress will wipe out the legions of parasitic ants that invade on time every day, and then incinerate all the corpses and parasites left on the battlefield. For this purpose, a small fire was also transplanted under this fortress.

In addition to twenty squads of 1,000 Divine Envoy King Legion soldiers, the fortress is also guarded by 500 worker ants, who are responsible for maintaining the nest, assisting in battlefield cleanup, and taking care of fires and granaries.

These days, the fort's casualties have remained in the single digits every time it has fought against the enemy, and the few wounded are escorted back to Dongyang Castle every day with the captives. "Dongyang City" will also send soldiers to replenish the battle damage from time to time according to the situation.

After listening to the report, the protagonist encouraged the commanders present to be loyal to their duties.

Subsequently, he transferred the squads led by Lambray and Lambosser, and prepared to reorganize the two squads into full-time legions using slings.

The seven male ants that the protagonist first met and are also the most familiar with are: rolling, Rambo Fei, Rambo Wan, Rambo Tour, Ram Borui, Rambo Buddha and Rambosser. They are the protagonist's henchmen.

Among them, Roll is now the supreme commander of the garrison of the Southern Fortress, and Ramboto and Rambovan are his lieutenants; Lan Bofei and Lan Bo Fo led a team to stay in "Dongyang City" all year round, and Lan Bofei also took on the important task of teaching young male ants.

At present, only Rambery and Ramboser have no specific positions, so this time the protagonist is going to send them some tasks. A unit like the Slinger, which has never appeared in the history of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, is also a new class of troops with historical milestones, and it must still be in the hands of its most trusted commander.

The routine harassment of the parasitic ant army has been repelled today, and it is still early. The protagonist then dismisses the other commanders and asks Lambray and Lambser to gather their troops on the ground and line up.

The protagonist tells all the soldiers in the squad about the training plan through the heralds, and in the absence of a conference room, they can only take the form of heralds. Naturally, loyal ants do not have any objections to this.

Later, the protagonist informs all the soldiers of the Messenger King's Legion of the methods and tactics of using the sling, and Ramberley and Lambother, the protagonist himself uses his tentacles to transmit the teachings, so as not to misunderstand when the heralds convey them.

Finally, the protagonist has the two squads of fighters practice on their own in the open space of the fortress after receiving their weapons and stone bullets, throwing them at the cleared field on the side without ants.

Lambrey and Ramborisser are corrected by the protagonist himself. After seeing that Rambery and Rambosser basically mastered the essentials of the movements, they led the team to train.

After the protagonist asks him to take care of these two squads, and sends them out of the station in the next few days of defense so that they can concentrate on training, the protagonist returns to "Dongyang City" with the transport team.
