Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 83 Crossbow Gear Manufacturing

"Ding ding ding dong."

Blacksmith shop, after Di Feng sent iron ore and a large amount of iron armor, the whole blacksmith shop became busy.

From the master craftsmen down to the apprentices, they are all re-forging such cast iron armor.According to Di Feng's request, all these armors were recast and forged into normal iron armor.

Because these iron armors are spliced ​​together in large pieces, it is not difficult to forge them.

Carve runes on the armor covering the heart to enhance the strength of the armor.On the blacksmith's side, through learning, I learned the assembly line work from modern society.

Now, headed by the master blacksmith, there are several assembly lines below, specializing in armor, helmets, arm guards, knee pads and weapons.

And each process is assigned at least one apprentice.This time, new refugees joined, including three blacksmiths and five apprentices. After joining the blacksmith shop, they were quickly assigned.

At the same time, according to the orders given by Di Feng and Zhang Xiu, the master craftsman in charge of the blacksmith shop selected twenty smart-looking youngsters from among the assigned new youths to be trained as new apprentices.

Except for the blacksmith's shop, the carpenter's shop, stonemason's shop, construction team, and potter's shop under the entire craftsman's shop have each added a new group of young apprentices.On the other side of the tailor shop, the master tailor in charge of the tailor shop took fifty young girls as apprentices.

These allocations ate up a full 200 people in one go, which greatly reduced the pressure on the territory to deal with the refugees.

These teenagers and girls are all alone, and their family members died in the previous escape.Just came to Qinghe collar, penniless, nowhere to go.

After being selected into the craftsman's shop, they will be distributed a set of bedding, a set of regular clothes, and a set of work clothes.Every day, I work eight hours, plus two hours at night to learn cultural knowledge.

Every day I learn technology at work, learn cultural knowledge at night, have a dormitory for rest, and eat in a craftsman canteen.

Although Qinghe collar's material supply for technical personnel is not the best, it is second only to the military camp. This way, there is no need to worry about food and clothing and a future life, so that these teenagers who have just lost their parents and family members can quickly come out of their grief.

And if these apprentices are excellent, they will be recommended by the craftsman to enter the school to study and become high-end talents in the territory.

It was with two hundred apprentices joining the craftsman's shop that the craftsman's shop, which was working at full strength, was able to repair and strengthen nearly a thousand sets of armor.

For these iron armors, apart from the recast reinforcement of pig iron, a layer of cowhide lining will be added inside by tailors as a layer of leather armor protection.

In addition, because this time the territory has obtained a large amount of cowhide, the task of cowhide boots has been added to the tailor shop.

And because the buffalo harvested a lot of tendons this time, and when fighting the strong orcs, it was reflected in the actual combat that Qinghe's troops lacked long-range strike means.

Several master craftsmen from the artisan shop worked together to design a crossbow. When the task was given, the master craftsmen worked together and combined the technologies of different eras.

It only took a day for a drawing to be designed.On the basis of the original crossbow, a pulley is added to make it easier to string the bowstring.

The next day, several master craftsmen made their own moves, and the first pair of crossbows was forged.

"Lord, this is our newly developed crossbow." When the crossbow reported that it was a forged sample, Di Feng arrived immediately.

The crossbow in front of Di Feng was about one meter long and had a wooden structure similar to a gunstock, but the main body of the crossbow was still made of steel.

The bowstrings on the crossbow are strong bowstrings mixed with bison strength, and the bow body is also a piece of iron plate with certain elasticity, with a pulley installed on both sides.

"Then try it, let me see the power of this crossbow." Di Feng said.

"Yes, my lord."

Next to the master craftsmen, an apprentice immediately stepped forward, carrying crossbow equipment and a few crossbow bolts to the training ground beside him.

I saw this apprentice, who was just an ordinary person, quickly tightened the bowstring. It seemed that he didn't expend too much effort, and kept putting the crossbow up.

"boom."

Pulling the trigger, the crossbow flew out quickly, piercing through the wooden target, which was located 100 meters away.

Then I fired several times in a row, and I saw that the crossbow was relatively stable and less labor-intensive.Di Feng also nodded.

"Since there are no major problems, let's make ten first and hand them over to the first brigade for actual combat tests. After the tests have no problems, the first batch of one hundred will be produced."

"Yes, my lord."

"In addition, the construction of the bed crossbow is about to start. I hope that several bed crossbows can be erected on the wall of the bath city."

"My lord, with a few of us here, the task of developing the bed crossbow will be completed soon, please rest assured."

"Very good." Di Feng said. "Now we lack powerful weapons. I hope these weapons can quickly hunt down troops. If you have any problems on your side, you can go to the Lord's Mansion."

Qinghe collar has special treatment for craftsmen and special talents in the territory.Di Feng knows that a territory is like a country, if it wants to be strong, it needs enough talents.

Whether craftsmen or art.The artisan shop under the Lord's Mansion grades all artisans in the territory, and if their skills have reached the level of senior craftsmen, they can receive ten kilograms of grain subsidies from the territory every month.

Master-level craftsmen can receive [-] kilograms of grain subsidies a month, and if someone advances to the master level, then it is [-] kilograms of grain subsidies a month.

But so far, Qinghe has ten senior craftsmen on the register and six master craftsmen, including a potter, a tailor, a stonemason, two carpenters and a blacksmith.

Moreover, the entire artisan shop is now managed by six master craftsmen. It is the treatment of the territory that allows these master craftsmen to use their full strength to complete the tasks of the territory at full speed.

"With crossbows, the territory can then form a crossbowman unit. In this way, a squadron under a brigade has an archer squad and a crossbowman squad, and then paired with a pikeman squad and a sword and shield squadron. The basic combat unit of the Qinghe Army."

The completion of the crossbow is a supplement to Qinghe collar.However, due to the large amount of materials and personnel increase in the past few months, the strength of Qinghe collar has increased dramatically.

But what comes with it is the lack of background, a large number of people from all ages, it takes a while to integrate, and winter is approaching, the territory needs to pay attention to the warm work of the residents in the territory, so that people cannot freeze to death.

In addition, the governance of nearly 2000 people is completely a challenge for a territory that has only managed [-] people at most, and there are new problems every day.

If it weren't for the soul from the East, which came from modern times, to move the system of modern society over and train a group of literate officials in advance, then the entire Qinghe collar might not be able to function.
