My Empire War Game

Chapter 53: Ballista

   "Jean, don't have psychological pressure. In all fairness, are these jewellery exquisite?" Su Lun picked up a piece of jewellery and said to Gene.

   "Yes, these jewelry are the most exquisite jewelry I have ever seen." Gene nodded and said.

   "That's not it, we need to give him a reasonable value for this exquisite jewelry." Su Lun Tan Tan Shou said.

   "As for the jewelry made by real elves, how many people have seen it now?" Su Lun picked up the pair of phoenix bracelets and said, "Since few people have seen it, what are you worried about?"

   "At that time, you will say that this was discovered from the ruins, and then give a little guidance. With the exquisiteness of these jewellery, those people will naturally believe it."

   Why does Su Lun have to pull these jewels on the elves? Quite simply, because of the price, in the human kingdom, the nobles are very fond of the things left by the elves, so as long as the price of things related to the elves is at least several times higher.

   The second wife of his cheap daddy brought a necklace from her natal family that was said to be made by the elves. It is said that this was a wedding gift prepared by her father, the Marquis of Osborne. Su Lun had seen it several times at the time. To be honest, the necklace was indeed exquisitely crafted, but it was almost the same as the jewellery in his hands.

   This is also the reason why he dared to pretend to be the jewellery made by the elves. The elves have returned to the forest of the elves for hundreds of thousands of years, and there can be a few pieces of jewels made by the elves, so Su Lun is not worried that this will be dismantled.

   Genn is indeed a business-minded guy. After Su Lun reminded him, he immediately prepared a set of rhetoric, and then after Su Lun’s differences were filled, a story was made up by him.

   The price of these exquisitely crafted jewellery was originally more than one thousand jinnars, but now with the blessing of the fairy background, they can be sold for at least five thousand jinnars.

   Five thousand and no Kinnar, all purchased into grain, enough to support his territory through the cold winter.

After discussing with Gene, Sulun asked him to go back and prepare. The caravan set out in these few days. This time, the caravan’s guard Sulun was going to let the new barbarians go halfway, and Johnson also took him. Half of them passed by in order to let these new barbarians grow up as soon as possible after several battles.

   With veterans like Johnson, Su Lun doesn't have to worry about the new barbarians suffering. The goblins, kobolds, jackals and so on encountered along the way almost upgraded after brushing a few back and forth.

   After handling the matter, Su Lun began to deal with another crisis facing the territory.

Frost pterosaurs generally do not attack humans, because compared to the prey of bison, giant horned deer, and goral in the wasteland, the risk of attacking humans is higher, so for the time being he is still safe here, but after winter, the wasteland Animal activities are sparse, and if there are not enough prey, Frost Pterodactyl is likely to attack humans.

   Suren cannot pin the security of his territory on whether the Frost Pterodactyl will attack, so the best way is to make a ballista.

Before that, Su Lun had made a ballista, and he was very familiar with the structure of the ballista, and more importantly, he later gained mechanical control, gained a lot of mechanical knowledge, and made some improvements to this ballista. Methods.

There are also ballistas in this world. They are called bed crossbows and giant crossbows. They are actually one kind of thing. The structure of the ballista is complicated and the operation is very inconvenient. A ballista needs eight to ten people to complete the operation. .

  The range of the ballista can be as far as kilometers, but this distance has long been useless, let alone accuracy. In fact, the effective range of the ballista is between 400 and 600. Of course, accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

This kind of ballista is powerful. It uses a two-meter-long javelin as a weapon. It can be shot into a rammed earth city wall within 400 meters. Even a brick wall can be more than a foot deep, even if the ice pterodactyl is shot by this ballista. China can't ask for it. It's just that although this weapon is powerful, it has many shortcomings.

   First of all, the winding speed is slow, and several strong men with big waists are required to work together when winding. Second, the accuracy is low. Basically, after more than two hundred meters, the crossbow arrow has no precision. Third, it is difficult to carry, and the ballista is heavy, and it is usually fixed on the city wall.

Fourth, maintenance is difficult. The bowstrings used by ballistas are specially made, preferably some high-end beasts’ ribs, but this type of ribs is too few and expensive, so most ballistas use special processing. For the beef tendon, the number and the beef tendon are wound into one, and the silk steel wire is added to the mixed winding. The bowstring made in this way has a short service life. Basically, the bowstring needs to be replaced after six or seven times of use. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM

   There are also some other shortcomings. After Sulun's transformation, although these shortcomings have not been resolved, a lot of improvements have also been made. One of the most obvious is that the winding speed has been accelerated, and the pulley block and lever mechanism are used in this part of the winding. The operation of the ballista is also much easier.

   At the same time, the ballista uses stainless steel as its parts, which makes maintenance easier and increases its service life. Of course, it is not all benefits. As a result, the weight of the ballista has increased again.

  Su Lun divides the design of the ballista into various parts, and then asks the smithy to make them according to the drawings. Finally, he personally assembles all the parts, so that the craftsmanship of the ballista is still only known to him. The bowstring of the ballista uses the main rib of the Stormrage Devil Tiger.

   A total of sixteen bowstrings were made after the main rib of more than 20 meters long was specially processed. This time Su Lun was going to make eight ballistas, of which eight bowstrings were installed directly, and the rest were reserved for spare use.

Eight ballistas were placed on all sides of the town. Suren deliberately built eight high platforms in the city to install these ballistas. With these eight ballistas, even the ice pterosaurs came to attack. Weigh.

The construction of the territory is still proceeding in an orderly manner. The first batch of iron ore mined in the mine was also transported to the port by water transportation. Although the speed of boating against the current is very slow, and at the same time, the boatman is required to paddle, but even so, it is more expensive than land transportation. Much faster.

   What the road in the wilderness was like, Suren knew exactly what was going on. In comparison, the ore transported by a ship at one time is more than ten times that of a wagon.

   After the ship docked, the goblin slaves who had been waiting here for a long time began to load and unload the ore, and then the ore would be sent to the blast furnace of the smithy. At most the day after tomorrow, the first batch of ironware produced by the iron ore mine will be released.
