Chapter 109: The Idea of a Strong Crossbow

Meng Han didn't know how powerful the peak great sword master was, but Meng Han had a simple judgment in his heart, even if he was a peak great sword master, even if he was a sword master, he couldn't beat the bullets, right? Even if he wasn't afraid of one or two guns, what if there were dozens or hundreds of guns? Can he still escape under the gun?

It is impossible to produce modern firearms here sooner, at least not now, but Meng Han has other ways. The bow and crossbow are designed to be very powerful. Meng Han has seen the bows of the elf brothers, even if they are from within the elf clan, those bows do not seem to be too strong, the elves are relatively weak, and their advantages are concentrated in magic and martial arts, and they are not too good at strength.

If you use a bow arm that is too strong, it is very likely that no one among your people will be able to pull it, and the crossbow you can use will be different. With the help of some lever devices, Meng Han was confident that he could make a heavy crossbow that was several times stronger than the Elven Clan's strong bow, and he believed that even a peak great sword master would not dare to take it lightly.

"Demi, go and call Edward and Edwin. When Meng Han thought of this, he directly said his signature surname.

As soon as the lord said this, it meant that there was something good, this is already the law, Demi agreed, and ran out directly. Meng Han looked at Grace, then at Joe, and finally turned to Joe's side: "Dispose of him." There are other people's bodies, all cleaned, leaving no traces. ”

Joe, as if he had been wandering outside, nodded without saying a word, and pulled the tax collector who had passed out again like a dead dog and left the room. In the room, only Meng Han and Grace were left, as well as the little maid Diana.

"Grace, remember, these tax collectors never came. Meng Han thought about it, and still told Grace. Grace had never seen such a killing with her own eyes, and her face was still a little pale by this time.

"Why, my lord!" Grace was obviously frightened by the scene just now, and her brain was not so flexible, and she still couldn't figure it out immediately after Meng Han's advice.

"Because we're going to fight for a while. Meng Han smiled, got closer, and reached out to take Grace's little hand: "Don't be afraid, Grace, it'll be fine." ”

Maybe it was the lord's words that gave Grace strength, but it was more likely that Meng Han took Grace's hand and made her more excited, and her face, which was still pale just now, was suddenly covered with a flush. In such a state, it seems that no matter how to kill, what peak swordsman is not so terrible, Grace nodded lightly, and said almost like a mosquito: "Yes, my lord!"

"Edward, Edwin, do we have a good soft steel here?" When he saw the dwarf brothers, Meng Han's first sentence was to ask. If you want to make a heavy crossbow, you can't do without these.

"There are some mild steels, but it depends on what the adults need to do. "Edward was now familiar with the lord's orders, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Meng Han had something new and was interested.

The structure of a crossbow is a bit more complicated than a bow, but it doesn't seem to be that complicated for a college graduate. Even if he can't copy the original design, however, Meng Han has not seen a slingshot or something in the store in his previous life, and he can basically say that he is not far from ten. Even Meng Han deliberately added pulleys and secondary strings, plus a lever-effect winding device, which was very easy.

Grace and the two little maids didn't think anything of it, but the dwarven brothers' eyes lit up. The crossbow that the lord said about was unheard of for them. There is no shortage of bows and arrows in this world, nor is there a shortage of crossbows, and even among several famous legendary weapons, bows are indispensable. However, there was never such a crossbow with pulleys and secondary strings.

According to the design of adults, the use of this crossbow is much simpler than that of a bow, at least in terms of aiming, I don't know how many times easier than a bow. In addition, the strength of both arms when drawing the bow will also be affected when aiming, but the crossbow will not be affected by the user's strength at all. And after winding, you don't need to pull it away, even if you are not an elf shooter, it is estimated that ordinary people can have a good head.

And the pulley and the secondary string, according to the lord, can greatly increase the stability and power of the crossbow, and if the right one is built, it can increase the power of the crossbow to a jaw-dropping number.

In particular, the lever winding device mentioned by adults, although the dwarves do not have a physical theory in this regard, but it has been used many times in actual operation, and at a glance, you can see that it will save a lot of power. In this way, with this labor-saving device, the use of the crossbow is much easier.

With the best mild steel to build a bow arm, and these auxiliary facilities, the two dwarven brothers can hardly imagine how strong such a crossbow will be, perhaps, if they are replaced with fine iron arrows, it is estimated that even iron blocks can be shot through!

Relatively important ordnance, Meng Han did not have any drawings, this is a habit, but also the need for secrecy. In order to describe the dwarf brothers in detail, Meng Han didn't know how many words it took for the two of them to understand it thoroughly.

"How much time will it take to build such a crossbow?" Meng Han's last thousand words boiled down to a single question, to the dwarven brothers.

"My lord, I estimate that it will take at least five days to build such a crossbow for the first time. Edward pondered some of the technical details that the adults had said, and finally gave an approximate figure. There is no way, there are a lot of small parts inside, and the requirements are very high, the first time to build, even the dwarf brothers dare not hold it up.

"Do it right away. Meng Han didn't force them to do anything, but just told them to start immediately: "Try to do it as quickly as possible, and by the way, build some arrowheads of fine iron." ”

After sending off the dwarf brothers, Meng Han himself began to sit down and ponder, how to face the next attack of the Storm City Lord?

After killing the tax officer, Meng Han did not regret it. Since the last time he was collectively humiliated by the elves, Meng Han had set a goal for himself, when he had strength, he would never let anyone bully him and the people of Huangsha Town like this again.

The Stormwind City Lord was too greedy this time, and his opening was eighty percent of the tax, and Meng Han knew that once he weakly agreed, he would immediately face even more severe exploitation. This was made clear in the later confession of the tax officer. There is a high-grade stone quarry in Huangsha Town, and the wealth is rolling, and the Storm City Lord will never give up such a large piece of attractive fat. He even wanted to bathe all the twins in Huangsha Town in order to achieve his goal of encroaching on Bai Yaojing's quarry.

For such a person, the current Meng Han will never bow his head easily. Even if the Lord of Stormwind is his immediate boss. Now that Meng Han has his own military strength, and in the near future, Meng Han firmly believes that he will definitely be able to become an official magician, and when the time comes, he will not have to care about this little city lord at all.

The only thing to consider may be that peak great sword master. It's a pity that Meng Han didn't know how terrifying the peak Great Sword Master really was so far. Everything is just based on simple level inference, and the real strength, Meng Han doesn't know. All hope seems to be on the strong crossbow that Meng Han wants his dwarven brothers to build.

Meng Han was thinking about how to deal with the Stormwind City Lord, but Donald Steward was not as laid-back as he looked. When he returned to his residence, the first thing Mr. Donald did was to record everything that had just happened quickly, especially when Meng Han was so quick to cast a spell. As soon as the record was finished, Mr. Donald summoned one of the most loyal guards of the Marquis's Mansion and asked him to hurry up and send the information back to the Marquis and the Viscount. I believe that the Marquis father and son will consider their attitude towards Meng Han more clearly.

"Father, Donald has sent the latest news. "Viscount Francis, after receiving the letter from Donald's butler, came to the Marquis's study as soon as he could. The business of the new bathroom brought Francis a lot of gold coins, but also brought more recognition from the family, and the voice in front of the Marquis also increased a lot. On the other hand, Viscount Francis has even suddenly matured a lot. No matter who is in charge of such a big business, dealing with some princes and nobles, considering the balance of all aspects, which one to give first and then which to give, will become mature quickly.

"This kid is not a little daring!" After seeing it, the Marquis seemed to be very funny: "Even the tax officer sent by the top boss dares to kill." ”

"It's not surprising, maybe he thinks he's emboldened with our backing. Francis smiled and spoke his judgment.

"Are you going to support him?" asked the Marquis, looking at his son.

"I'd love to support him with all my might, but I thought I'd better take a look. Francis thought for a moment and replied, "I can have Mr. Donald testify against him, but I won't do anything else." If his Huangsha Town is annexed, then he is not worth cooperating with us. He'll be fine anyway, and the old men at the Academy of Magic are desperate to let him stay in school. ”

"What if he keeps his estate?" the Marquis asked, looking at this son who was talking eloquently and seemed to have his own opinions, and was very satisfied.

"If he keeps the property, I will intercede with His Majesty and really let him be the lord of that Huangsha City. Francis smiled, "That's what I promised him before I left last time." ”

"Since it's a test, then, I think, Mr. Donald doesn't have to come forward first. The Marquis thought more thoughtfully than Francis: "Let's see how many hole cards this magical baron has." Don't forget, Donald keeps emphasizing that he's a magician!"
