For the ancient people of the earth, the eight-ox crossbow, artillery and the like were mainly used in the attack and defense of the city.

It will also be used in field and warfare, but there are many restrictions, especially heavyweight artillery, which basically will not appear in field and warfare.

The biggest limitation is the weight of heavy equipment such as artillery, which is extremely inconvenient to transport and slows down the march of large armies. Speed is an important factor that directly affects the success or failure of a war.

However, in this world, most of them are people with extraordinary strength, that is, the elites of the Hidden Abyss Guard, who have been trained into a double wood and stone body, all have a terrifying power of more than 3,000 catties, and it is never a problem to transport these large weapons.

On Earth, the Cham people even put bed crossbows on the backs of elephants to facilitate mobile shooting, taking into account the speed of transporting bed crossbows.

The strength of ordinary soldiers here is not as strong as that of elephants, but it is not a big problem to bring something of a thousand children and eight hundred catties.

Moreover, when Chu He designed the eight-bull crossbow, he also took this problem into account, and designed the eight-ox crossbow as several parts that could be disassembled and assembled, which was convenient for the army to carry.

Therefore, the overall volume of the eight-bull crossbow made by Chu blacksmiths and others is much larger than the eight-bull crossbow invented by the earth, and the power is even more terrifying.

After Chu He arrived at the carpentry factory, Chu Qianzhong and Zhuang Zhongneng commanded the manpower to bring several parts of the Eight Bull Crossbow to the nearby test site and quickly put them together.

The parts of the eight-bull crossbow mainly include a chassis with wheels, a bed frame, a winch, and a bow body.

The eight-bull crossbow that appeared in front of everyone was four meters long and one meter five high, the main body was iron jujube wood and iron winged wood, and the bowstring and rope were made of steel wire.

On both sides of the frame, there are two coiling dragons carved, and the crossbow head has the head of an angry dragon, making a roar, lifelike, and amazing, but it adds a strong killing atmosphere to the eight bull crossbows.

Three super steel bows made of silicon-manganese alloy steel, with arms up to three meters long, and various strange runes engraved on them.

In order to increase the toughness, each steel bow is made of three flat steel bars, supplemented by steel wire, which can be twisted with a bending of more than 60 degrees!

Chu He had to admire the forging process here.

In fact, after Chu He saw the Thousand Mountain Armor and the Snake Slashing Sword, he knew that the forging process in this world was not as simple as he imagined.

Chu blacksmith studied hard, and studied with several alchemists of the Ding Demon Army, using silicon-manganese alloy steel as the main material, adding some special ingredients to fold and hammer it many times, plus the means of alchemists, such as the inscription rune formation, etc., actually made the toughness of silicon-manganese alloy steel greatly increased, and the performance could even be compared with high-quality spring steel.

The power of the steel bow made from this high-quality spring steel is even more amazing.

Chu Qianzhong and Zhuang Zhongneng made each part separately, which was also based on Chu He's considerations.

In any case, it was impossible for the steelworks and carpentry factories to master the manufacturing process alone, lest the craftsmen below be kidnapped and leave and reveal the secrets of the Eight Ox Crossbows.

Therefore, Chu Qianzhong and Zhuang Zhongneng were combining the Eight Bull Crossbow for the first time, and they had not tested the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow before.

After the Eight Bull Crossbow was combined, the two of them carefully checked it and found no problem, so they told Chu He: "Captain Chu, the Eight Bull Crossbow has been formed, and the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow can be tested at any time!"

Chu He was overjoyed, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

Chu Qianzhong had already hung a one-meter-wide steel plate on the mountain wall a mile away, and after hearing the order of Chu He, he asked a few stout men to step forward and turn the winch vigorously.

These four strong men, although they are only in the Qi Drawing Realm, and they are only trained into the Aoki Body, but they are all born with divine power, each of them has more than 3,000 catties of strength, and the four of them work together, and they see the winch slowly turning.

The skein squeaked, the alloy pulley on the bow body slowly rotated with the contraction of the skein, and the steel bow slowly bent, and the thick steel wire bowstring was stretched to the firing position without any accident.

Chu Qianzhong personally put a thick armor-piercing arrow that was three meters long into the bowway.

This thick armor-piercing arrow is like a steel spear, weighing thirty catties, and the sharp three-edged arrow flashes with a palpitating cold light, and everyone doesn't even have to wait for the eight-bull crossbow to be launched, they can guess how amazing the destructive power of this three-edged giant arrow is!

The eight-ox crossbow can be used with one bow and three arrows, but the first test used a single shot and one arrow.

Chu He secretly calculated in his heart that the strength of this eight-bull crossbow had exceeded his estimate, and the toughness and strength of this silicon-manganese alloy spring steel researched by Chu Blacksmith exceeded his estimate.

However, under such a huge tension, there were no problems with the Eight Bull Crossbow, and the various parts such as the crossbow frame chassis were very firm, and Zhuang Zhongneng, a carpenter, contributed a lot.

Blacksmith Chu adjusted the crossbow frame slightly, then exhaled loudly, and did not use the hammer, but directly pressed one hand on the trigger.

Only a piercing, heart-shaking sound was heard, and the bowstring contracted with terrifying force and speed, and the three-meter-long three-edged giant arrow emitted a piercing sound of breaking the sky, so fast that it only left an afterimage in the void, and shot out at an incomparably alarming speed.

Under the eye of Chu He, it can be seen that the speed of the three-edged giant arrow has exceeded the speed of sound, and it can even be compared with the speed of the pistol's discharge, reaching a terrifying number of seven or eight hundred meters per second, and with an almost straight trajectory, it shot fiercely at the steel plate hanging on the mountain wall a mile away!

Seeing the power of the three-edged armor-piercing arrow, everyone was tight, and their pupils contracted uncontrollably.

I only heard a thunderous explosion, and the mountains and rocks flew in all directions, and large stones rumbled down, and the steel plate was three centimeters thick, which was completely pierced by the three-edged giant arrow!

Blacksmith Chu and Zhuang Zhongneng both misestimated the power of this super eight-bull crossbow and conservatively used a three-centimeter steel plate.

Therefore, when it appeared in everyone's sight, the three-edged giant arrow not only pierced through the steel plate, but also pierced deeply into the mountain wall, a full meter deep.

One-third of the arrows sank into the mountain wall, and even the stones on the mountain wall behind them were shattered and fell by the three-edged giant arrow!

Everyone present was suddenly silent, and they all looked at the three-edged giant arrow that was still trembling at the tail in shock.

After a long time, Jiang Wei took a deep breath, his face looked very solemn and dignified, and he slowly spit out four words in his mouth: "The weapon of the country!"

Chu Qianzhong also came back to his senses for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "From now on, ordinary people can kill the Four-Rank Martial Sect and Bachelor!"

"The power of this eight-bull crossbow is really terrifying!"

He was now a fourth-grade swordsmith, but even if he was within this mile, he was not sure that he could resist the attack of the Eight Bull Crossbow!

The speed of this eight-bull crossbow is too fast, and before the sound comes, the sharp arrow has already reached the body, and such an attack that is faster than the sound is extremely difficult to guard against, and can only be guarded against with the keen intuition like the sixth sense.

But intuition doesn't work all the time, and if you are distracted, or in a fierce battle with others, you may be shot by a crossbow.

"One more arrow!

Chu He's receptivity is stronger than others, and when he saw the terrifying power of the Eight Bull Crossbow, he was not shocked at first, but to see the limit of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

Jiang Wei nodded, and was about to step forward, but how did he know that Chu Qianzhong said in a deep voice: "Let me come!"

Chu He was slightly stunned.

At this time, Chu Qianzhong asked people to turn the winch and place the crossbow arrows, and finally, with a wave of his palm, he saw an internal force coming out of his body, and the three-edged giant arrow suddenly lingered with white light, and the tip of the arrow was more conducive to poking out.

Three grades or above, you can leave the body, the really powerful archers, are above the realm of three grades, only in this way, the arrows they shoot can continue to adhere to the internal qi, not easy to dissipate, enhance the power of the arrows.

In the past, Jiang Wei and others, when shooting arrows, they poured internal strength, in fact, only to enhance the toughness and stiffness of the steel bow, and the arrows shot were more powerful, but the internal strength attached to the arrows dissipated very quickly, and could not really give full play to the advantages of the steel bow.

The three-edged giant arrow infused with the internal strength of the four-grade Casting Ding Martial Sect is even more terrifying, with an increase of more than eighty percent, and the three-edged giant arrow not only easily pierces through the steel plate, but also most of the arrow body is submerged into the mountain wall, and a large number of rocks are shattered and fallen.

Chu He's eyes narrowed, and the white light of the heavenly eye came out, falling on the Chu blacksmith, but he was surprised to find that the attributes of the Chu blacksmith had changed greatly from what he had seen before!

Chu Qianzhong (Casting Ding Realm):

Constitution: 133

Strength: 166

Dexterity: 146

Spirit: 40

Talents: Berserk (Strength plus 3, Speed plus 2)

Luck: 52

Of course, Chu He would not be idle and bored to probe other people's attributes, so he had not detected Chu Qianzhong's situation.

He remembered that he had seen Chu Qianzhong before, and the data was very powerful in his eyes at that time: 20 physique, 33 strength, 33 agility, 10 spirit, and no talent and luck.

Later, Chu He learned that the Chu blacksmith was similar to the martial arts of the Qi Induction Realm, especially the extremely weak mental power, not even comparable to ordinary people, and it was estimated that it was caused by the broken martial arts.

Looking at it now, it really surprised Chu He, the abolished Chu Qianzhong actually became a four-rank martial sect?

Dual-attribute martial arts are quite rare. It is that Qin Shengnan and Jiang Wei are both single-attribute martial arts, and Jiang Wei's hundred battles and martial arts have nothing to do with his tenacity talent.

Chu He's overlord martial arts are dual-attribute martial arts.

Judging from the increase in the furious martial arts, it is known that this is a top-grade martial courage, the basis of the strength increase is one, the basis of the speed increase should be 0.7, and the level of the high-grade martial arts is increased by three times.

Strength and speed increase at the same time, it's not as simple as two plus three, once Chu Qianzhong stimulates the power of martial arts, the increase in combat power can even reach more than ten times!

However, now is not the time to ask Chu Qianzhong, presumably he has some chance to reunite his martial arts.

If Chu Qianzhong had a different intention, he would not have revealed it at this time, he didn't know that he had a heavenly eye to spy on everything, and he would definitely hide it carefully.

Chu Qianzhong's strength has skyrocketed, which is actually a good thing for Chu He, a four-grade martial arts sect, and it is also a sword cultivator, even if Chu He is not there, it can also protect the safety of Changding Township.

Chu Qianzhong, who can burst out with ten times his combat power, is not even much worse than a fifth-grade grandmaster, at least the Taoist priest of the Yellow Turban Army's civil and military cultivators may not be more powerful than Chu Qianzhong.

The power of a single shot has been tested, and there is no problem with firing two arrows in a row from the bed crossbow, and then it is necessary to test one bow and three arrows.

Another important role of the bed crossbow is the bow and three arrows.

Three arrows fired at the top of the city wall can facilitate soldiers to climb up and assist in the siege.

After adjusting the direction and angle of the arrows, the three arrows were launched, although the power was much weaker than that of a single shot, but it also shot into the mountain wall to a depth of one meter, but there was no steel plate to block it.

The three arrows are almost nailed to the mountain wall in a straight line, and it can indeed become a point of borrowing, as long as a few more shots, I am afraid that ordinary soldiers can easily climb the city wall of twenty or thirty meters along the arrow shaft.

After testing the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow, Chu He was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine that the Eight Bull Crossbow, which had been replaced with alloy components and slightly improved with pulleys, had such terrifying power, which had far exceeded the budget in his heart.

Of course, this is also because the main bow body is engraved with various amplification runes.

"Very good! This eight-ox crossbow can be made, thanks to the steelworks and the woodsmithing!"

Chu He looked at the blacksmith Chu and Zhuang Zhongneng and the others, and said loudly.

Zhuang Zhongneng hurriedly said: "It's all the credit of the adult's drawings, if there is no composition, the villain can't make the Eight Bull Crossbow even if he has great ability." ”

Chu He waved his hand: "Without the help of Third Uncle Chu and Old Uncle Zhuang, the Eight Bull Crossbow would not have been built, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded!"

"Chu Qianzhong and Zhuang Zhongneng will each be rewarded with 500 taels of silver! The craftsmen who participated in the manufacture of the Eight Ox Crossbows in the steelmaking yard and the woodware factory will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver!"

Chu Qianzhong has nothing, he has a component of the steelmaking plant, although it only counts the income from the sale of steel soldiers abroad, but it is also an extremely considerable number, and now it is divided into tens of thousands of taels, and there is a lot of money and silver.

It's just that his money is basically for the remnants of the Demon Army.

It's different for Zhuang Zhongneng and others.

Hearing that Chu He was rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, Zhuang Zhongneng was stunned for a moment, as if he thought that something was wrong with his ears.

Although he knew that helping Chu He make crossbows was risking killing his head, now that the Eight Bull Crossbows were made, Chu He would definitely show something.

But he never imagined that the opening of the Chu River was five hundred taels, and those craftsmen who helped to make the eight-ox crossbow could each get fifty taels of silver.

You must know that Zhuang Zhongneng has worked hard for most of his life, taught many disciples, and the silver he has accumulated is only a few dozen taels.

Now he has helped Chu He for half a month, which is equivalent to his income in ten lifetimes, so how can Zhuang Zhong not be stunned on the spot.

Just like on Earth, ordinary people know that those rich people can work for ten years with one meal, and a high-end sports car is the money they can't earn in their hard work for ten lifetimes.

But if someone gives him a few million, although in the eyes of the rich, it is just the price of a sports car, for ordinary people, it is already a great wealth, and they dare to kill people and set fires, let alone just help people make firearms.

Zhuang Zhongneng came back to his senses for a long time, and hurriedly knelt down to thank Chu He for the reward, and the craftsmen who helped to build the Eight Ox Crossbow also knelt down to thank Chu He.

The four guards who turned the winch, although they were only transferred from the Abyss Guard to test the Eight Ox Crossbow, were also rewarded with ten taels of silver.

It was Chu Qianzhong, at this time, he also bent over Chu He to show his gratitude. This is about the majesty and authority of the Chu River, and has nothing to do with their personal relationship.

Chu Qian used the power of Chu River to dominate the world and seek a future for the Ding Demon Army, so he wanted to maintain the status and majesty of Chu He.

Chu He received their bows, and then his voice sank: "Of course, if you have merit, I will reward you without hesitation, but if you have it, I will also punish it." ”

"You want to speed up, and within ten days, make three more eight-ox crossbows, but is there a problem?"

Chu Qianzhong thought for a moment and said: "There is no problem on my side, if I stop making knives and guns, etc., and make all my efforts to make eight-bull crossbow parts, ten sets can be produced." ”

Zhuang Zhongneng also said: "The manpower of the wood factory is a little tight, but if the raw materials are enough and it is tightened up, there should be no problem with five sets of parts." ”

Chu He nodded: "That's good! Chu Qianzhong, the steelmaking exceeds the proportion of the armor bed crossbow over there, you can look at it yourself. ”

"For every eight-ox crossbow made, a reward of 100 taels of silver, but the quality must be guaranteed, and if something goes wrong, you must be held responsible! In addition, you must keep it a secret and not leak it! I will send more men to take care of the steelworks and the woodsmiths. ”

There are about fifty or sixty craftsmen involved in the manufacture of eight-ox crossbows, and each eight-ox crossbow is rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, which is already a very high remuneration, and each person can almost share two taels of silver, which is equivalent to their income for half a year before.

If this can't guarantee the quality, or if they want to sell the manufacturing method, Chu He will never be polite to them!
