Southern District of Emerald Territory, War Workshop.
Lester was listening to Christol, whose eyes were glowing green, talking about the research results of the past half month.
"Lord, the best answer for alloy weapons is to smelt orichalcum and fine steel in a certain ratio.
Although it will lose part of its ability to absorb magic elements, it can gain hardness and weapon performance far exceeding those of fine steel weapons. It can easily penetrate plate armor made of fine steel and cut off fine steel swords without hurting itself."
As he spoke, the capable old blacksmith picked up an unsheathed dark red long sword placed on the weapon table. Judging from the style, it was the same as an ordinary Noxian long sword.
The old blacksmith poked hard at the bright silver stainless steel plate armor worn on the wooden figure.
Sparks of metal friction flashed, and the half-centimetre-thick fine steel plate armor was easily pierced. Then, with a strong pull, the dark red long sword that made a deep stab mark on the wooden pillar was pulled out.
Lester looked at it and found that the long sword did not damage the blade or tip, and the break was extremely smooth.
"You are right, this long sword does have the effect of breaking armor."
"That's not all, I'm showing you the sharpness and hardness of the magic steel sword."
He signaled his apprentice Steiner to set up the fine iron sword on the anvil. Without any intention of parting with it, Christol feverishly raised the magic steel sword and struck it down with all his strength.
With a "clang" sound, the stainless steel sword broke.
"You can see for yourself."
Taking the magic steel sword, Lester stroked the sharp edge for a long time.
"There is no doubt that this sword is the top killing weapon."
Using his experience as a killer in his previous life, Lester gave his own evaluation.
"It's just that the weight is much higher than that of a fine steel long sword. It's difficult for ordinary soldiers who don't have the required strength to use it. Have you considered modifying the style and structure of the magic steel long sword to appropriately reduce material loss and weight?"
"Sorry, Lord, changing the sword structure at will is likely to affect the service life of the long sword. There is no manufacturing master in the war workshop who can independently design weapons. It's okay if you ask me to make some traditional equipment. Others
I might not be up to it."
Lester took a deep look at the old blacksmith, nodded noncommittally, and said.
"continue."
"yes."
Christol breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming to the weapon placement table, the old blacksmith Christol picked up an exquisite pure metal mechanical crossbow. Lester noticed that under the firelight of the furnace, the crossbow arm emitted a dim red arc of light, exuding
Bloodthirsty and cold fatal beauty.
Unfortunately, compared with the pulley crossbows I saw in my previous life, it was still too bulky and the chin was too thick.
However, regardless of the design concept, based on the casting skills alone, the old blacksmith did have two brushes, which also made him doubt whether the old blacksmith was a member of the furnace family from the North.
It's a pity that the old blacksmith refused to admit it and had no evidence.
"This is the [Dark Blood Demon Crossbow] that I made by disassembling the small crossbow of the red-skinned demon rat. Please allow me to call her that, just because she is so beautiful. I have to name her myself. She is comparable to
With the magic steel sword as a murder weapon, I believe she can easily hunt down the proud and powerful flying dragon on the Urus Mountains."
Picking up a special magic steel crossbow from the table, Christol narrowed his eyes and used the semi-circular arc on the slide to aim at the plate-armored wooden man on the other side who had already received a sword.
"This crossbow is extremely destructive. It is equipped with a special magic steel crossbow arrow, which has the effect of breaking armor and destroying demons. The only drawback at present is that it cannot fire continuously, and because the crossbow blades are very elastic, it requires a lot of effort to wind it up.
, like the magic steel sword, she is a perfect weapon that ordinary people cannot use. She needs a truly fearless warrior to dominate her and control her."
He supported the crossbow head of the Dark Blood Demonic Crossbow on the ground, stepped on the foot ring of the crossbow head with his right foot, and pulled the animal tendon bow string with both hands at the same time. He suppressed his blush before pulling the bow string up on the slide.
The shackle allows the bowstring to be hung tightly by the shackle.
"It's so hard for you to wind the string..."
Lester laughed and made a big cross about the practicality of this crossbow.
Christol was also a little embarrassed to install the three triangular magic steel crossbow arrows on the arrow nest under the slide.
"It takes some effort to wind the string, but the power will never disappoint you."
After saying that, the old blacksmith gently pushed the arrow loading mechanism of the arrow nest. There was a crisp "click" sound, and the crossbow arrow was pushed from the metal slide in front of the bow string. This working principle of the magazine transporting ammunition was very impressive to Lester.
One light.
"How many crossbow arrows can be held in the arrow nest?"
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard Lester's question. Not wanting Lester to be distracted and miss the wonderful moment, the old blacksmith stopped what he was doing.
"Up to five, including the loaded ones, there can be six crossbow arrows... Lord, can I start the demonstration?"
"let's start."
Aiming at the plate-armored wooden man again, the old blacksmith pulled the trigger that controlled the hook.
With a "whoosh" sound, the red light with an afterimage penetrated into the plate armor at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. It continuously penetrated the front and rear layers of plate armor and the solid leather wooden figure in the middle, biting deeply into the armor.
A third of the body was thrust into the stainless steel plate behind the wooden figure.
Lester's eyes lit up and he quickly came to the plate-armored wooden man to observe the shooting effect.
The old blacksmith put down his crossbow and continued talking.
"I have tried it, and the maximum range of this crossbow can reach more than a thousand meters. Within a range of 500 meters, it can continuously penetrate less than three sets of fine steel plate armor, and there is no possibility of ballistic deviation."
Looking at the old blacksmith's proud expression, Lester smiled.
"So have you ever tested how long a beast sinew bow string can be used? How many times can an ordinary soldier pull the bow string continuously at one time? How many crossbow bolts can a dark blood magic crossbow fire when it keeps firing? On the battlefield
Go on, how much time do our soldiers have to wind up again before the cavalry comes?"
After hearing a series of questions, the old blacksmith was stunned.
Patting the old blacksmith on the shoulder, Leicester seemed a little serious in his words.
"I know that you are eager for new materials and weapons, and you are also keen on maximizing lethality. However, weapons are the key to the safety of soldiers' lives, and there must be no mistakes. The Dark Blood Demonic Crossbow is very powerful, but you are blindly pursuing
High power cannot keep our soldiers alive on the battlefield.
This crossbow is very good, but as a weapon, it is not qualified and can only be used to deal with some special situations.
Qualified weapons require constant testing and modification before they can be used on the battlefield to achieve victory. We still have time, so please don't be too impatient."
Christol was a little depressed and made an apology to Lester.
"Lord, I was too aggressive. You are right. I apologize to you."
After waving his hands, Lester's voice softened a bit.
"You don't need to apologize. You have done a good enough job. I believe in your ability.
The Dark Blood Demonic Crossbow will eventually become the secret weapon of the Emerald Territory and will shine in the future. What we have to do now is to improve it, at least to solve the problems of the bowstring's durability and stringing frequency."
"As for the bow string, it will definitely be no problem to use the tendons of the flying dragon. I am confident in this. As for whether other creatures have durable rubber bands, I don't know.
As for the problem of winding, we can only appropriately reduce the thickness of the crossbow arm. Although it will also reduce the power of the crossbow arrow, it will definitely be too powerful to deal with humans..."
"Well... I have a way to reduce the tension on the bowstring without reducing the thickness of the crossbow arm. The power will still remain the same."
"what way?"
"Do you know about pulleys?"
"pulley?"
Please vote for recommendations, please vote for the month, and please support me in my pursuit of reading. I have saved more than sixty chapters. What should I do if I can’t finish them after they are published? I’m more anxious than you are.
