Xu Xin took the backpack and wanted to take out the heavy crossbow from it.
"No, Brother Xin!" Ma Hongwei immediately stopped him. "It's too big to take out. You might as well install it directly on your tree house."
Is it big
"Isn't your tree house equipped with this?" Xu Xin put down his backpack and asked, "Show me the effect."
When he first arrived, he saw a circle of new heavy crossbows surrounding Ma Hongwei's tree house.
Those heavy crossbows were very conspicuous. Even though they were hidden in the canopy of the tree house, they reflected a chilling metallic luster in the sunlight. Some of them emitted purple light and were of purple grade.
Moreover, many extremely powerful heavy crossbows were placed on the tree houses of the people around him.
He also saw that several people's tree houses were equipped with the same machine he mentioned earlier.
Their tree houses can be regarded as a very strong line of defense.
As long as there is enough ammunition, any previous beast tide will be a piece of cake for Ma Hongwei's team.
However, he didn't see that the heavy crossbow was so huge.
"No assembly." Ma Hongwei shook his head. "So far, I have only made this heavy crossbow of this level. The main reason is that it consumes too many materials."
Then he touched his head embarrassedly: "When I asked Li Wenxi for materials, she refused to give them to me, saying that there were too many consumables and she would not make this for the time being. I told her that I made it for you, and then she gave me the materials for one frame."
“…Is that so? A lot? How many?”
"Oh, I need ten pieces of purple-grade steel, ten pieces of purple-grade wood, and ten pieces of purple-grade animal tendons..."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Xu Xin's scalp really tingled when he heard this.
This consumable material consumes more materials than the knife Zeng Tao wanted!
Let Ma Hongwei and Li Wenxi discuss this matter. Even if he knew about it, he couldn't do anything.
After all, the resources are in the hands of Li Wenxi, and the technology is in the hands of Ma Hongwei.
He is responsible for using it.
"Moreover, these are just the consumables of the heavy crossbow." Ma Hongwei became excited when talking about this heavy crossbow. "This heavy crossbow requires a special heavy crossbow weapon. One shot consumes five portions of purple-grade metal materials and five portions of purple-grade saltpeter! This thing is a super-super-enhanced version of the previous super-heavy crossbow weapon!"
As he spoke, he took out a huge heavy crossbow that was more than three meters long and as thick as his arm from the backpack he had just handed to Xu Xin.
Then he slowly placed it on the ground.
From his movements, one can tell how heavy this heavy crossbow is!
You know, Ma Hongwei is a mutation with enhanced strength!
"Hmm?" Coco ran to the side of the heavy crossbow and stretched out her little paw to push it.
"Don't touch it."
Xu Xin squatted down, lifted Coco up by the scruff of the neck, and reached out to touch the purple-grade heavy crossbow.
Super Delayed Explosive Metal Heavy Crossbow (Purple): A heavy crossbow with extremely strong penetrating power. With its own weight, it can easily pierce the purple-level scales of a giant beast. The head of the crossbow contains a lot of powerful explosives, which will explode one second after the crossbow is inserted into the body of the enemy unit, causing tons of explosive damage!
Because of its special structure and excessive weight, it requires a special heavy crossbow to fire.
Good job!
This introduction is indeed much stronger than the previous delayed explosion type metal heavy crossbow (blue)!
But it is true. After all, the previous failure of the heavy crossbow only consumed one portion of blue-grade steel and one portion of blue-grade saltpeter, but this time it was directly super-doubled, five portions of purple-grade steel, and five portions of purple-grade saltpeter!
The power of a blue-level explosion is already dozens of times that of an ordinary explosive crossbow. Then the power of this super crossbow made of five times purple-level materials...
"Did you... use too much force?" Xu Xin looked up at Ma Hongwei with a strange expression.
This power... has truly been elevated to a level that has broken through the sky.
He was now a little afraid to touch the heavy crossbow, for fear that it would explode and blow away the two of them and the entire tree house.
"Uh..." Ma Hongwei touched his nose a little embarrassedly and smiled, "It is true that there is a little bit. In fact, I made the heavy crossbow first, but I found that the previous heavy crossbow could not use this heavy crossbow at all. I had no choice but to make a matching heavy crossbow that consumed more materials..."
Well, I made some dumplings just for the sake of vinegar.
But this power is really huge just to think about it.
However, if a heavy crossbow fails, ten purple-level materials will be consumed...
What kind of super consumable weapon is this!
His halberd only used two pieces of purple-level materials!
Ma Hongwei waved his fist. "Next time, if that giant anaconda dares to run out from the center of the lake again, I will pierce it and blow it apart!"
Xu Xin showed a confident expression and nodded: "Don't tell me, this heavy crossbow may really cause great damage to the giant anaconda!"
If the previous blue-level heavy crossbow was still a little low-level and probably couldn't cause damage to the giant anaconda and could only deal with ordinary behemoths, then this heavy crossbow was...
I'm afraid you don't have to worry about this problem!
With a purple-level heavy crossbow and a purple-level heavy crossbow, breaking through the purple-level scales of the giant anaconda should not be a problem!
It can also explode internally, causing huge damage to its relatively fragile internal organs!
Now, they have truly mastered the method to injure and repel the giant anaconda in the center of the lake!
"Well done!" Xu Xin patted Ma Hongwei's shoulders twice, "You have made a great contribution this time!"
At least from Ma Hongwei's description, he was very satisfied with this weapon.
He finally doesn't have to worry all day about some big creature coming out of the lake nearby!
"Well... I just have some ideas." Ma Hongwei was a little embarrassed. "If it weren't for the extremely rich resources of our explorers, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the ability to research. At this stage, we are the only ones who can use the heavy crossbow that consumes such a huge amount of energy!"
really.
At present, only they, the explorers, can use this heavy crossbow.
Not to mention the huge consumption of heavy crossbows, just this one shot consumes ten pieces of purple-grade materials. This consumption is completely out of reach for other regions, even for their powerful organizations!
They not only have the raw materials provided by Li Wenxi, but also have hundreds of tree house cores, which are recharged every five days, so they can barely hold on.
But at this stage, this consumption is a bit too high for them.
After all, their demand for purple-level materials in other areas is also huge.
If a heavy crossbow fails, five pieces of purple-grade steel will be produced, enough to make a set of purple-grade steel armor!
No wonder Li Wenxi was unwilling.
This consumes too much!
The budget pressure in other areas has exploded!
However, is this thing really as powerful as Ma Hongwei said
"By the way, Brother Xin, there are other purple-grade steel heavy crossbows in that backpack. There are various types. I prepared them for you." Ma Hongwei pointed at the backpack and said, "I was planning to trade them to you directly, but since you are here, I will give them to you directly."
Xu Xin nodded, and then said: "Aren't you going to install a copy of this heavy crossbow for yourself?"
After all, he is a researcher of heavy crossbows. He made this heavy crossbow because he was crushed to death by a giant anaconda before. It is only right that he should get one for himself.
Although the demand for materials is huge, it is not particularly outrageous for them now.
"No, no." Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, you should do the installation. Your tree house is the most important. The attack range of this heavy crossbow is very long, it can cover at least several kilometers in radius, and it can also protect me at the same time."
"Besides, my place is located on the periphery, and is more vulnerable to attack than your tree house, Brother Xin." He continued, "It is better to place the main body of this heavy long-range weapon in the safest location. Otherwise, it will be bad if it is destroyed after all the effort to make it."
Xu Xin nodded.
That is indeed the case.
Ma Hongwei's considerations in this regard are relatively comprehensive.
"Do you have any other ideas about the deployment of the heavy crossbow?" Xu Xin asked.
Although he has some plans of his own, Ma Hongwei, as the maker of the heavy crossbow, may have a better solution.
"Um… "
Ma Hongwei thought for a moment, considered his words, and then spoke.
"Brother Xin, my idea is that you should mainly install heavy long-range weapons on your tree house to deal with the giant beasts that may appear."
"And the tree houses around us are mainly equipped with relatively small, low-cost, and smaller weapons that can be used to cover vitality, such as the tree house crossbow that can be loaded with hundreds of explosive crossbow bullets, which are used to deal with small mutant creatures and beast tides."
"It just so happens that there are already four of us, me, Qin Fu, Lou Fei'er, and Zeng Tao, around your tree house, and we are all in different directions." He analyzed calmly, "With us here, if a beast tide of the same scale as before comes, even if your tree house doesn't take action, we can easily keep it out."
Xu Xin nodded.
Ma Hongwei is right.
Now his own tree house was right in the center of these people. If anyone wanted to attack his tree house, he had to cross these people's tree houses first.
Even if some mutant creatures crossed over their tree house and entered the interior, they would be defeated and not worth mentioning.
Therefore, in his tree house, those conventional heavy crossbows seemed less important.
"So, Brother Xin, my idea is just as I said before. We will deal with the relatively low-level and relatively large creatures in the beast tide, while Brother Xin, your tree house will be responsible for the output of heavy weapons and pose a threat to the giant beasts that may come!"
"Of course, we can't be completely powerless against the behemoths, so I plan to install the regular super-heavy crossbows we used to install on the tree houses around us. The blue-level heavy crossbows will at least pose a considerable threat to large enemies. Even if we can't inflict heavy damage, it can buy time for you, Brother Xin."
After Ma Hongwei finished speaking, he handed the backpack to Xu Xin again.
Xu Xin nodded in agreement: "Your suggestion is very reasonable."
Ma Hongwei's ideas basically coincide with his.
"However, I should also always have conventional weapons on my tree house. After all, if a powerful beast tide appears and your tree house falls, you must all retreat into my tree house Lianli. At that time, my tree house will be the last bastion. This last bastion must have all means of attack."
This plan applies not only to him, but also to other explorers.
"Even if we don't use them on a regular basis, we must always have them ready." Xu Xin looked out the window, at his tree house, "My tree house is big, so it's not difficult to put all the weapons in it. But... I should still have enough materials, right?"
Ma Hongwei immediately agreed, "That's right. The materials should be fine, but if we add some conventional heavy crossbows, it won't take much material. Of course, this depends on Li Wenxi."
"However, if it is what Brother Xin needs, there is no way they will disagree." Ma Hongwei said with a teasing smile, "Brother Xin, you should go and ask for the materials yourself. I talked my mouth off yesterday, and in the end I only got the materials for a frame because of you."
"... Haha, okay then. You probably don't know the power of this heavy crossbow, right?"
"Indeed, I haven't actually tried it. After all, I haven't installed a heavy crossbow that can fire this kind of heavy crossbow. But the power must be huge. I am still confident about this." Ma Hongwei looked confident, "There are three of these heavy crossbows in my backpack. Brother Xin, if you are worried, you can also test the power."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back first."
"Brother Xin, if you want to try, don't blast it towards me!"
Picking up Coco who was running around pushing a metal ball on the ground, Xu Xin left Ma Hongwei's tree house.
Since Ma Hongwei had made a promise, he decided not to try this special heavy crossbow for the time being.
In addition to being too expensive, he was also afraid that the heavy crossbow would lose too much power and make too much noise, which might attract the attention of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake or the mysterious giant beast in the hilly resource area. That would be troublesome.
There was no danger in the first place, so it would be bad to force him to create danger.
So, let's wait until we can use it.
Instead of returning to the tree house, he went under the tree house and took out the super heavy crossbow.
"Bang!" A heavy crossbow hit the ground directly.
"Ah!" Coco screamed while leaning on his shoulder.
Xu Xin himself was also shocked.
This is indeed...
It’s a bit big!
It is even bigger than the previous huge super heavy crossbow!
It was almost as big as the giant bug he had seen underground!
In combining its power…
This is simply a huge cannon!
No wonder he didn't agree when he wanted to take out the heavy crossbow in the house just now.
This is too big!
Xu Xin thought for a moment and placed the heavy crossbow in the direction of the lake, which was also towards the hilly resource area.
Lou Feier and the others are not in this direction, so this direction needs more protection.
However... a heavy crossbow like this doesn't seem to be able to cover all directions around.
However, when he entered the tree house and operated the control panel, he realized that he was overthinking.
This special heavy crossbow, in addition to being able to shoot straight ahead, can also throw the ball upwards!
This allows it to cover all directions around the tree house, covering an area of five kilometers around the tree house!
Of course, it takes much longer to hit the target with a projectile than with a direct shot, so there is nothing wrong with him choosing to head towards the lake.
good.
After adjusting this super heavy crossbow, he dismantled all the low-level heavy crossbows on his tree house and installed new blue and purple-level metal heavy crossbows.
There were several repeating crossbows, ordinary heavy crossbows, and super heavy crossbows installed in various directions.
There were three new control panels in the backpack. Ma Hongwei knew that he had a lot of heavy crossbows, so he gave him three more control panels.
He installed a control panel on every floor.
Swinging down from the tree house, Xu Xin smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the fortress-like tree house he had rebuilt.
This really feels safe!
It’s a pity that this heavy crossbow can only be used in the tree house. If you leave the tree house, you will lose this strong sense of security.
By the way, he remembered that Zeng Tao had a manufacturing ability, which was to make heavy weapons.
Could she have made some heavy weapons she could carry
At this moment, the sound of a portal condensing was heard behind him.
Looking back, Li Wenxi jumped out of the portal.
"Ah, you are right down there. I came to get some new metal materials from you... Wow!" Li Wenxi's eyes widened when he saw Xu Xin's tree house. "What is this? Is this the super heavy crossbow that Ma Hongwei said he would make for you? So... so cool!"
Because the heavy crossbow was so large, the canopy of the tree house was completely unable to hide it, and the entire crossbow was exposed outside, like a super heavy artillery.
It looks like a strong force that is really coming towards you.
"Yes, that's it." Xu Xin nodded and smiled, "When we have enough resources, I'll give everyone one."
"Your heavy crossbow consumes too many materials!" Li Wenxi looked at the heavy crossbow with shining eyes, then turned to look at Xu Xin, "If there wasn't a giant anaconda around you, which was a huge potential threat, I wouldn't have given him so many resources to make this for you!"
"Haha, indeed."
This heavy crossbow consumes too much energy, and currently he is the only one who can equip it.
The heavy crossbow plus the crossbow, this set requires nearly fifty purple-level resources!
A heavy crossbow emptied out half of the explorers' wealth!
"Let's not make the second one for now. The rest of us don't need it for now." Li Wenxi shook his head.
Indeed, at present, there is no giant beast attacking the tree house from the ground. Even if a giant beast comes in the future, it will not be as high as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake. After all, even the underground giant beasts cannot reach this level.
So, for other people, the ordinary super heavy crossbow is indeed enough.
"Okay, give me the meteorite iron ore you mentioned. I'm going to go back and try it out. I have to go back right away. Without me, their efficiency is too low!"
"Okay, come on, Wen Xi, our resources all depend on you!"
"Huh." Li Wenxi glanced at him dimly, "You're the one who eats the most!"
After collecting the meteorite iron ore resources, she did not linger but walked directly back into the portal.
Before Xu Xin returned to the tree house, his watch started vibrating.
It was Ji Chaoyang who called.
"Xu Xin, I know why Shi Wanyun from District 1 has tried to establish a relationship with us so many times."
"We've delayed the cold winter for too long. Something serious is happening over there now!"
