It’s easy to say, but the problem is that there is no way to retaliate against the whales on Whale Island now. If you want to retaliate against the whales, at least you have to have whaling ships. Lorist once went to the ruins archipelago, and the natives there were all whaling masters, but they were driving canoes, like whaling packs surrounding bison, attacking with spears soaked in paralysis venom, and then paralyzed the whales and cut them to the beach and eaten them alive...

Lorist could not have called on the sailors to learn from the natives of the ruins and islands. What he needed now was a large whaling ship, so he came to the shipyard again, summoned all the craftsmen leaders, and began to discuss how to build the whaling ship.

The three training ships originally built were only twenty-four meters long, and the sailors who came back reported that the giant whale that crushed the first training ship was more than thirty meters long, so the whaling ship to be built was at least twice as big as a whale to compete with the giant whales. Lorist then set his mind on the sail cruiser he designed, which had already laid with the keel.

The sail cruiser designed by Lorist is 75 meters long. Unlike his previous life, the Black Forest has many giant trees, so it is easy to find suitable wood instead of using splicing to make keels, which adds a lot of convenience to construction.

Since the sail cruiser was to be converted into a whaling ship, the watertight cabin had to be doubled to prevent the ship from sinking by whales. A craftsman made a suggestion, covering the outside of the ship with a layer of 20 cm thick boards, and the two layers of boards were connected by long copper nails. Although the speed of the ship was slowed down and the weight was increased, the hull was firmer and harder to break when hit. Lorist happily adopted this opinion and praised the craftsman for ten goldfords.

The plan to change the cruiser to a whaling ship was quickly confirmed with Lorist's heavy reward. But another urgent problem was placed in front of Lorist, that is, it is November, and winter is approaching, and it is impossible to continue to start shipbuilding during the snowy days.

Lorist wanted to build a huge wooden house. He could put the boat in the house. However, there was no way to draw the drawings. Such a huge house could not be built with the current construction level and conditions. At this time, Palek came up with a solution, which was to pile up wood under the cliff behind the shipyard to open up wood. There was a huge cave. If the opening of the cave was expanded, the hull could be built in the cave. When spring was in full swing, the built hull would be pulled outside before masts were erected and other later work, so that the construction could be completed in less than a month.

Lorist personally went to check the cave and found that it was very spacious. He immediately decided to adopt Balek's father's suggestion and build the hull of whaling ships in this cave for four months in winter. It was not one, but two ships started to be built at the same time. He also told Balek's father that manpower is not a problem. I believe that those leaders who have nothing to do at home are willing to work in winter to earn some money. The family will allocate all the expenses they need, as long as the quality and speed are guaranteed.

After leaving the shipyard, Lorist led the guard camp to the Blade Mountains again. This time he was going to the black iron refining base under the charge of Master Sid.

What does it mean? If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Although the steel crossbow on the chariot is more than enough to move the steel crossbow on the chariot to deal with whales, after all, the skin of the whale is not as tough as the fur of the monster, but the whale is huge in shape. The crossbow arrow of the steel crossbow on the chariot is indeed a little shorter, and Lorist is not ready to shoot the whale just to finish it. The whale's body is full of treasures, the flesh of the whale and the skin of the whale. The whale's fat is the best treasure. Even the whale's ribs are the best materials for making umbrella bones.

If a super steel crossbow is installed on the ship, I am afraid that the whale will not be able to withstand the strong vibration and crack. So this time Lorist went to design another crossbow installed on the whale ship, with a cable of several hundred meters. The crossbow arrows are harpoon-shaped. After shooting the whale to death, you can use a cable connecting the harpoon-shaped crossbow arrow to drag the whale's body over and take it back to the dock to divide it...

Master Sid thought Lorist came for 100,000 sets of standard equipment ordered by the Fisabren family. He patted his chest and asked Lorist to rest assured that it would be fine to create 8,000 sets of fine iron armor pieces in a month. He was only responsible for providing the armor pieces of the standard armor, and then transporting the armor pieces to the weapons production base. The workers there assembled the armor pieces on the leather armor and formed a set of standard equipment.

Then Master Sid took Lorist to see his latest achievements. That is, Lorist last commissioned him to carry out an improved trench, and when he arrived, Lorist was shocked. The design drawing of the trench he designed should actually be considered a reflux cannon, which is a lever trench, which is huge and bulky. Now what appeared in front of him was a six-wheeled catapult, but the torsion noose of the catapult brake was changed to a wire spring.

Lorist originally wanted to design a catapult with a torsion noose, but he couldn't remember how the torsion noose made of animal tendons and hair was wrapped to start a catapult, so he had no choice but to choose a lever catapult. Unexpectedly, Master Sid gave him a surprise, replacing the torsion noose with a wire spring, and also created a catapult.

"Master Sid, how did you think of using wire springs to make catapults?" Lorist was ashamed. His previous life was a society with rapid industrial science, but he didn't expect that he could solve the problem so simply. He just racked his brains to recall the details of the ancient Roman torsion noose catapult I saw on TV. It was really a shame to the time traveler.

Master Sid was proud and touched his goatee and said modestly: "Sir, this is an unexpected reads;."

Pointing to the hydraulic forging machinery under the waterfall in the valley, Master Sid recalled: "The resetting of the largest hydraulic forging press in the past has always been a big problem. We always use U-shaped steel clip springs to reset it, but the loss of this steel clip spring is very large. Once the steel clip spring cannot be connected, the original one is no longer elastic, and the space is pressed is very large, so we simply twisted it and put it in. Unexpectedly, it will resume its function again, and it will be used several times longer than the original clip spring.

The adults asked me to improve the trench machine. I thought of this kind of inter-torsional spring, so I did the test and finally found that the clamping spring made of steel wire was the best. But now I think it is more appropriate for adults to call this kind of wire spring as a wire spring. In the future, it will be called a wire spring."

"Sir, look here..." Master Sid pointed to a fan-shaped metal plate on the wall of the catapult car. Five straight lines were engraved on it, and a few lines were written: "This is the distance of the catapult obtained based on the experiment. The uppermost straight line indicates that the catapult pole is level with this straight line, and the distance of the catapult is 100 meters, and the lowermost straight line indicates that the farthest distance of the catapult is about 500 meters, but this requires our specially made circular stone bullets. Throwing irregularly shaped stones will have an impact on the range...

Sir, I use a steel and wood structure for this catapult, which is firm and reliable. Although the body underneath requires six wheels. However, considering the stability required for catapult launch, the chassis weight of the car has to be increased. The catapult travels a bit slower, but it is very clever and convenient. Whether it is marching or stationed on the spot, it can be ready to throw and launch at any time, especially if it only requires three people to operate.

One person is carrying a car, one person carries a stone bullet, and one person fires. Sir, look, this iron wheel is to turn it after throwing a stone, put the stone pole on the metal plate and the straight line that is about to be thrown. Then someone put the stone bullet into the iron pocket on the head of the stone pole, and finally pull the joystick next to the iron wheel, and the stone bullet is thrown out."

"Master Sid. I'm really surprised. You are a genius mechanical designer. So can this trench machine be fixed for mass production now?" asked Lorist.

"Sir, I think this catapult car has two shortcomings. One is that the maximum throw weight is only fifty kilograms, and the other is that the durability of the wire spring is not satisfactory. Generally, it has to be replaced after nearly a hundred throws. I have thought of many ways to increase the strength of this steel spring, but none of them succeeded." Master Sid took the initiative to tell the shortcomings of the catapult car.

"No, Master Sid, you've done a good job. The durability of the wire spring is a matter of the material and has nothing to do with your design. As for the maximum throwing weight of fifty kilograms, it's already very good. Because the heavier weight will affect the flexibility and speed of the catapult. If you only have these two shortcomings, it's no big deal. You can mass-produce 300 catapults first. I'm going to form a catapult camp." Lorrist said.

"As you did, sir, I will arrange manpower to make it as soon as possible. But sir, aren't you going to see the improvement effect of the trench machine you designed?" said Master Sid.

"Oh, you've even transformed my one?" Lorist was very curious. He wondered what Master Sid would improve the lever catapult to.

Master Sid brought Lorist to a four-wheeled carriage, which was filled with things and covered with a large rainproof oil cloth. Master Sid called five people to come and told them to pull the carriage to the open space next to it and assemble the things on the carriage.

After the tart cloth on the carriage was lifted, square wood and steel accessories were exposed. Lorist understood that this was an assembled trench. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a lever trench trench as high as five meters appeared in front of Lorist.

"Sir, the only disadvantage of this catapult you designed is that it takes time to assemble, and the operators also need to be trained to assemble in a short time as possible. However, its advantages are also very obvious. The maximum throwing weight can reach 150 kilograms, and the farthest distance can reach more than 600 meters. So I designed this catapult to be assembled, so that even if it needs to be moved, it can be disassembled quickly and transferred to the carriage to another place." Master Sid introduced.

"Yes, you did a very good job and designed it very cleverly. With the catapult you designed by Master and this assembled catapult, I believe there is no more city fortress that can stop our family's armed forces from moving forward." Lorist praised.

"So, Master Sid, this assembled trencher also makes me crosses. I plan to use 200 catapults and trenchers to form a battalion, called Pili Camp Bar reads. If you write a report on the production cost of manufacturing catapults and trenchers, I will approve the funds immediately."

"Thank you, sir." said Master Sid.

Schwart, who followed Lorist to make records, reminded: "Sir, is there anyone who is the commander of the Pili Camp you are planning to form? Is this camp to be listed in the top secret level?"

Lorist thought about it and got the answer: "Shward, recorded the order, and transferred Ovikis, the commander of the first battalion of the Guards of the Rock Castle, to be the commander of the newly built Pili Battalion, and ordered him to draw half of the tested family soldiers from the first battalion of the Guards to join Pili Battalion, and the vacancies were added from the veterans of other troops.

In Order 2, the family knight Paul Bins was promoted to the commander of the First Battalion of the Rock Castle Guards, and the vacancies of the battalion were supplemented by the New Battalion. In addition, this Pili battalion does not need to be included in the top secret level, but it is enough to be included in the confidentiality."

"Yes, sir." Schwart recorded the order and handed it over to Lorist to sign and stamp it, then stuffed it into a silver tube and handed it to the guards to send it out.

"By the way, Master Sid, I'm looking for you this time for another thing." Lorist grabbed Master Sid who was preparing to say goodbye: "The family sailor battalion was attacked by whales during training offshore, and overturned two training ships, causing heavy losses. I am going to clean up these whales. The shipyard is already building large whaling ships, but it still needs a large crossbow to deal with whales..."

"Large crossbow? Master, you should go to Master Falin..." Master Sid was puzzled. Master Falin, the person in charge of the crossbow making workshop not far apart, is a professional master in making crossbows.

"Master Falin, haha, he can't do it." Lorist shook his head: "Master Falin is indeed specializing in crossbow making, but he habitually goes step by step, without innovative concepts in his mind, and he is self-confidence. So I can't entrust such an important thing to him, and time is very tight. It must be finalized after the beginning of next spring. I think you will be more confident to give it to the master."

Lorist's compliment made Master Sid feel very comfortable. He smiled and said, "Since the adults look at me so, I will try it. But I hope that Master Falin can cooperate with my research. With him, I can also help me answer questions if you have questions..."

"Okay..." Lorist agreed, turned around and ordered: "Shuad, go to the crossbow making workshop there to invite Master Falin here, and take a few guards to the crossbow making workshop to move the spare chariot steel crossbow and the super steel crossbow left here..."

"Yes, sir."

Master Sid was most interested in super steel crossbows and even wanted to test the shooting once in person, which scared Lorist and Falin into a cold sweat. A strong family soldier had to rest for an hour after shooting. Master Sid, who had old arms and legs, had to die on the spot when he went up to test the shooting. It was not until Lorist ordered a guard to shoot an arrow that Master Sid understood that this thing was not so easy to test.

"Sir, can you tell me the detailed requirements for the large crossbow you want?" asked Master Sid.

Lorist picked up the paper and pen and drew a crossbow arrow first. Everyone who saw the crossbow arrow pattern was breathing in the air. No matter how hard the crossbow arrow looked, it seemed to be cruel and sharp. The arrow, a three-meter-long crossbow arrow, was half a meter long, and the triangular point cone also had a blood groove that was trapped in three sides. There was a three-edged barb at the back of the arrow, and there was a ring behind the arrow. This was used to tie a cable, and the entire crossbow arrow was made of fine iron.

"The large crossbow I want is to fire this kind of crossbow arrow to deal with whales. It must be larger than the steel crossbow of the chariot to fire such a long crossbow. But it cannot be as large as a super steel crossbow, and the shooting vibration is so strong. It is on the ship. The direct shooting distance of the crossbow is between 100 meters and 150 meters. It is required to ensure that the arrow can penetrate into the fish body, and it will not deviate when flying with a cable, so the firing force must be strong..."

Master Sid looked at the request made by Lorist on the paper and thought for a long time: "Okay, sir, I know it. I try to make such a crossbow for sir within three months."

"Okay, please Master Shide for this matter."
