Discover problems, find answers, and solve them in practice.
Xiao Yu repeated this process in Lilliput and reality these days, and felt extremely fulfilled.
Relying on his good habit of asking experts on professional forums if he didn't understand it, and the good craftsmen invited by General Babu, he finally created the first foldable giant trebuchet in Lilliput.
The whole machine is composed of fifty standard parts. All key parts are luxuriously made with wrought iron fasteners. When folded, it is five meters long and can be driven forward on wheels. When attacking a city, it can be built on the spot as an eight-meter-high machine.
Trebuchet.
In Lilliput, this trebuchet can be described as an epoch-making war machine. It is not only easier to transport than the large-scale catapults and ballistae equipped at the same time.
The most critical thing is that the effective range of this trebuchet exceeds the 800-meter distance of the current longest-range war machine ballista, reaching an astonishing 2,500 meters!
If the projectile is an object lighter than a standard stone projectile, there is room for improvement in range!
Moreover, Xiao Yu used a lot of mathematical knowledge and classic formulas when training the artillery, making the attack accuracy of the trebuchet much higher than that of the ballista.
As for the catapult with a range of three to four hundred meters and poor accuracy, there is no need to even compare.
When the trebuchet was successfully developed and the assembly line production of components began with the large amount of wrought iron brought by Xiao Yu, General Babu's plan to attract the barbarians was also successful with the help of Xiao Yu's rice.
After promising that he would have two full meals a day while serving as a soldier, and that each person who joined the army would be given five grains of rice, 50,000 to 60,000 barbarians came from all directions in a short period of time.
These barbarians have been struggling to survive in the wilderness. How many years have passed, and the number of barbarians surviving in the vast wilderness has never exceeded 100,000!
Almost all the old, weak, sick and disabled among them were spontaneously eliminated by the cruel environment. Nature itself formed a constraint on the population of barbarians, thus cultivating them to be indifferent to life and death, greedy for immediate benefits but keeping their promises.
habits.
It’s not that some tribes came here with the intention of robbing them from the beginning, but after seeing Xiao Yu, the protector of the kingdom who was more than 100 meters tall, these barbarian tribes suddenly became much more honest.
"Let me see, is this a list of supplies needed for tomorrow?" Xiao Yu would stay at the camp until evening every day before going back, and would bring the supplies needed to the camp the next day.
"The weapons and armor of barbarians require a lot of wrought iron. It's simple. A hundred kilograms is enough."
Xiao Yu whispered, suddenly thinking of his increasingly shriveled wallet.
In order to facilitate the transportation of supplies, Xiao Yu bought an electric tricycle, which saved Xiao Yu a lot of effort. However, his wallet was almost reaching its limit. If Xiao Yu wanted to buy large items, he would have to swipe his credit card.
However, after returning home and using the computer to sort out the data captured by the camera, Xiao Yu felt that it was all worth it!
Xiao Yu spent dozens of kilograms of rice and wrought iron in the past few days, but it was not without gain.
After learning that Xiao Yu was interested in human cultivation methods, Enric presented the royal family's knight training secret book.
At the same time, all the knight training secrets that could be collected in the world were also sent to Xiao Yu, who controlled the camera to scan them page by page.
By understanding the secret method of knight training in Lilliput, Xiao Yu roughly understood its working principle and the basis for obtaining extraordinary power.
However, he was not in a hurry to practice, because according to the instructions, ordinary people who wanted to become a knight not only needed a large supply of materials and specialized knight-level medicines during practice, but also had to conduct a test on their own attributes. After understanding themselves, they could
Choose the right path to transcendence.
Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort and risk going too far!
Xiao Yu already has such a huge advantage, why would he take risks for the sake of convenience?
After capturing the royal capital, use the royal capital's special instruments to test your attributes and then practice.
It's a pity that wizards are too at least too mysterious.
In the realm of Gangdu Kingdom, apart from knowing that wizards either live in seclusion or belong to a certain academy, practicing witchcraft costs more money than knights, and it is more important to personal understanding and innate qualifications! The rest of the information is mostly blank.
Not to mention being able to obtain the practice methods of wizards.
Xiao Yu is not angry. In his opinion, as long as he really becomes the protector of the Gangdu Kingdom as planned, is he still afraid that the wizards will not surrender?
But speaking of wizards, you really need to pay close attention.
Wizards' spells are all kinds of strange, and there are many with strange effects. It is also said that the magic power of a formal wizard is several times and dozens of times that of a wizard apprentice. Once a first-level witchcraft has enough preparation time, its power is often beyond ordinary people's expectations! Himself
If you are not prepared, it will be a shame if the boat capsizes in the gutter!
After returning home, Xiao Yu took a rest, first prepared the supplies to be transported tomorrow, and then sat in front of the computer to organize the information collected today into documents.
The customs and landscapes, hearsay and rumors, the aristocratic customs and family system of the Gangdu Kingdom.
After Xiao Yu edited the information into categories, he thought about it and opened a secret document.
"There have been five hundred years of rumors in the Gangdu Kingdom involving wizards and suspected world wonders... how can they be groundless without a reason? These rumors will more or less involve the abilities of these wizards!"
Xiao Yu cheered up, guessing the truth in the rumors while watching, and looking for ways to deal with them.
In the royal capital of Ironforge City, under the power established by Grand Duke Yanan over the years, a large number of noble private soldiers, desperate mercenaries and even reinforcements from non-human tribes gathered together and were organized under the officers of Grand Duke Yanan.
One legion after another.
At the farm on the outskirts of the royal capital, a large number of carriages pulled grain from the cellars to be used as military rations.
The blacksmith shop is in full swing making new super-large armor-piercing arrowheads.
Various weapons warehouses that had been stored for many years were also opened one by one. As dozens of responsible persons were beheaded, many weapons dealers were held accountable, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were taken out to arm the hard-working mercenaries.
At the same time, boxes of gold and silver coins were carried directly to the school grounds and distributed on the spot by the confidants arranged by Archduke Yanan.
As for the former quartermaster, he is currently hanging on the city gate tower waiting to dry.
From the tallest watchtower in the Royal Capital Square, looking down at the endless military camps below, Grand Duke Yanan was in high spirits:
"Wizard Marfa, my best friend." He said to a white-robed wizard beside him: "See, this is the heritage of my Yanan family!"
"In the entire kingdom, I am the only one who can gather so many troops! And command them!"
"I! I am the real king of this kingdom!"
"If one legion is not enough for the giant, then use two! Three! Or even ten legions to deal with it!"
Chapter completed!
