[Tomorrow is Monday, please give me some votes. ]
Yi Tianxing felt secretly awed.
It was a good thing that the people were eager to join the army. At the same time, it also made him deeply understand that the people today had an instinctive fear and anxiety about the outside world and wanted to gain enough strength to survive.
Of course, I also have the belief of protecting Xuanhuang Town in my heart.
This is a good thing, but it also makes Yi Tianxing feel a heavy responsibility.
He built Xuanhuang Town to protect the human race, and the people voluntarily joined the army to protect this new home.
However, the more people join the army, the greater the benefits will be. The higher the combat power brought to Xuanhuang Town, even if almost ordinary people join the army, the others can still support the entire army.
The food grown in the fields had already piled up like a mountain, so there was no need to worry about not being able to feed the army.
Needless to say, after becoming a soldier, you not only need to train, but also go to various places to hunt beasts. The beasts you hunt can meet your daily consumption.
It can be said that the army in Xuanhuang Town was not trained, but killed.
"Well, 50,000 troops, well-trained, all of them are cultivators. This strength should be considered top-notch within a radius of ten thousand miles. Thank you for your hard work." Yi Tianxing nodded and praised Yang Ye and other generals.
"It's not just us. All the soldiers who come to join the army have a belief in becoming stronger. They train and fight without regard for their own safety. The people are tough and brave, so naturally we can train the most powerful army."
Yang Ye did not take credit for it and said it decisively.
"Master Lu, I gave you the blueprint of the goblin chariot before. You should have some understanding of it. Can you manufacture it?"
After returning, the blueprint of the goblin chariot was secretly handed over to Master Lu for research, hoping that with his superb attainments in mechanical engineering, he could create this powerful weapon of war.
Once completed, it will be a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
"The goblin chariot is very delicate, involving various parts, and it also needs to be engraved with runes. The materials required are extremely precious, and engraving runes requires extremely exquisite skills. According to the drawings, these parts are polished and need to be engraved with runes by a special engraver. Although it is different, it is not much different from a rune maker. This can be replaced by a rune maker. You can also use a carver to carve the runes on it."
When Master Lu heard about the goblin chariot, he became interested and started to talk nonstop: "To forge a goblin chariot, a lot of parts are needed, and the materials needed are not simple. Bone crystal cannot be used as the material of the chariot. It must have red gold copper, which we don't have in our town. Even if we have it again, we need to use thousand-year-old iron wood as the material. It is difficult to forge without the materials, and it will be very troublesome to manufacture."
He had studied it carefully and found that the goblin chariot was indeed an extremely powerful chariot. Strictly speaking, it also belonged to the category of mechanical devices. With Master Lu's attainments in mechanical devices, he thought that as long as he made those parts and combined them again, it would not be too difficult to create a goblin chariot.
The only difficulty is engraving the runes. This is not an ordinary job. Almost every part needs to be engraved with runes.
Some parts are large and can be engraved on them using the method of rune makers, but some parts are very small and require micro-carving techniques. The key is that you also need to know how to make runes. Carving is not random carving, but engraving runes on them. These are the key points of the goblin chariot. If there are no runes, the goblin chariot is dead even if it is made.
Only with these runes can you become a real killer on the battlefield.
It can be said that this is the result of a spiritual practice. Runes are a means of substitution.
"I will notify everyone as soon as possible and have them look for thousand-year-old ironwood, red gold and copper ore, and goblin chariots. We must build them. As long as we can build the first one, I can mass-produce it. We can continuously produce new chariots."
Yi Tianxing pondered and nodded.
The goblin chariot must be built. It is a weapon of war. As long as you look for it carefully, you will find it sooner or later. The most important thing is to make the first one. As long as it can be manufactured, with the powerful capabilities of the universal printer and as long as there are materials, it can be printed out continuously.
"Although there is no way to manufacture the goblin chariot, I have developed a new crossbow. It uses the bones of fierce beasts as the crossbow body and the tendons of fierce beasts as the crossbow string. The built-in crossbow box can hold ten crossbow arrows at a time. It is modified from the Zhuge Crossbow."
Master Lu said confidently: "The Zhuge Crossbow is large and heavy, suitable for defense on the city wall. It can fire ten crossbow arrows at a time, which is very powerful, but not suitable for single-soldier combat. I improved it, made improvements in materials, and incorporated runes and talismans. Not only has it become more sophisticated, but it is also more powerful. My lord, please take a look."
As he finished speaking, he had already taken out a crossbow.
Cao Zhengchun stepped forward, took the crossbow, came in front of Yi Tianxing and presented it to him.
Yi Tianxing took the crossbow in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This war crossbow is actually quite similar to Zhuge Crossbow, with not much difference, except that it is much smaller. When held in the hand, it is smaller than an ordinary bow and arrow, and looks very delicate.
The structure of the war crossbow is that the bottom is a crossbow body like a longbow, but it has a handle and a ballistic trajectory for placing crossbow arrows. On the top is a crossbow box for storing crossbow arrows. There is a trigger at the bottom, and when it is pressed, the crossbow arrow will be fired.
Its structure, and overall concept, is the same as that of a modern rifle.
This kind of crossbow can fire continuously, and in fact, to some extent, it is no different from firearms. Its power is no weaker than that of firearms.
Firearms shoot bullets. They can fire continuously.
A war crossbow shoots crossbow arrows, and can fire continuously.
Comparing the two, one is a bullet and the other is a crossbow arrow.
"Exquisite and lightweight, these crossbow arrows are special crossbow arrows engraved with runes. They are shorter than ordinary war arrows. There are also runes engraved on the crossbows. These are the runes of the Gale Rune. The crossbow arrows shot out can be blessed by the Gale Rune. The speed of breaking through the air should be quite fast."
After Yi Tianxing's investigation, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Such a war crossbow, once formed into a large scale, has a destructive power that is more terrifying than ordinary bows and arrows. It does not require arm strength, but can burst out with powerful destructive power. The most important thing is that this war crossbow is not heavy in the hand, and with the strength of a cultivator, it can definitely be called light.
"Let me try the power of the crossbow."
Yi Tianxing was also very interested and prepared to try out the power of this crossbow himself.
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he quickly made arrangements.
I don't know where I found a thick piece of iron plate.
Everyone left the hall and came to the front yard.
The iron plate was erected a hundred meters ahead.
Whoosh!!
Yi Tianxing didn't need to aim at all, he just raised his hand and pulled the trigger, and saw a golden crossbow arrow burst out from the war crossbow like a golden lightning, the speed was so fast that people couldn't catch the arrow body breaking through the air. All they could hear was the sound of the air being torn apart.
Ding!!
The next moment, a crisp sound was heard, and a hole appeared on the iron plate in the distance without any warning. The crossbow arrow had pierced through the iron plate and went directly into the ground, and could no longer be found in the earth.
The speed and destructive power are both quite amazing.
The power of the talisman on the crossbow makes it indestructible.
"The effective attack distance of this crossbow can reach more than 500 meters because it is infused with the power of the talisman and can be infused with true energy. If it is improved in the future, the distance may be even farther, possibly up to 1,000 meters. Within this range, it has huge lethality. The power of the crossbow lies in its explosiveness, and speed is the key. The Gale Talisman can make the speed of the crossbow reach the extreme. In addition, if it is a special crossbow, the attack speed and distance will be increased. It will become faster and stronger."
"Especially the crossbow is easy to operate. Even ordinary people can use it easily. As long as they appear in an organized manner and explode at the same time, the destructive power generated will be even more amazing. As long as you are a cultivator, you can infuse your true energy into the crossbow. On the crossbow, I have specially reserved a groove for embedding crystals. Only by placing the crystals can the power of the crossbow be brought into full play. Only a small amount of true energy is needed to activate it. If there is no crystal, it will consume more true energy to activate it."
Master Lu spoke confidently.
This type of crossbow is easy to operate. Taking Xuanhuang Town as an example, any citizen who gets it can immediately control it and use it to exert its destructive power. In times of crisis, as long as there are enough crossbows, tens of thousands of additional crossbow soldiers can be added at the command.
That kind of destructive power is devastating.
"Okay, Master Lu, you made a great contribution to Xuanhuang Town by making the war crossbow, especially now that we are about to face a war. It will be even more useful. Wait a minute, there will be a merit point issued. Also, does this war crossbow have a name? You are the maker of the war crossbow, and the naming right is up to you."
It had been stipulated long before that any invention or achievement in Tiangong Pavilion would be rewarded with merit points. The war crossbow made by Master Lu was one of them, so it was natural that it would be rewarded with merit points.
No one present had any objection to this.
However, the people in the Military Affairs Council were staring at the crossbow with a fiery gaze.
"This is a modification of the Zhuge Crossbow, but after being integrated with runes, it has undergone a transformation and is no longer a weapon for mortals. It is called the Divine Crossbow. I hope that one day, the Divine Crossbow can be continuously improved and reach the level of being able to shoot and kill gods and demons."
After Master Lu hesitated for a moment, he immediately spoke.
He also had great expectations for the war crossbow. He felt that the divine crossbow still had a lot of room for improvement. As long as it was given a certain amount of time, it would definitely be improved again and its power would be even greater.
