Everyone discussed that it was already October, the cold current had swept across the land in the north, snowflakes were flying, and the rivers and lakes in the north of Hengshan Mountain were about to be completely frozen. It was a sure thing to mobilize a large amount of materials and rush to Yucheng Ridge to build the walled city a year ago. That's too late.
At this time, the front line of the demon barbarians has appeared on the front line of Yucheng Ridge and will soon attack in large numbers to the south. There are still five or six thousand fine cavalry in the Longxiang camp. Under the leadership of Le Yi, they are still stranded in Zhanma. There is no way to come to the western foot of the mountain for the time being.
Although the core arrow box has not changed much, Chen Hai and others discussed and decided to name the new crossbows as chambered crossbows in order to distinguish them from the old arrow box crossbows.
These are the most fundamental questions that are tangled in Chen Hai's mind. Chen Hai even suspects that the temple also comes from the Rakshasa Territory, and that the Rakshasa Territory is vaster and vaster than what Zuo Er said. The Rakshasa Blood Demon It's just a force in the Rakshasa Domain.
Which heaven did the temple come from, why was it left in the Blood Cloud Wasteland, and why did it assume the responsibility of educating the Jinyan states and resisting the blood demon's invasion of the Jinyan states
At this time, Chen Hai founded Tianji Academy deep in Qintong Mountain. On the surface, it seemed that he was also developing the puppetry technique based on the prohibition of talisman formations, but the change in his thinking mode was subversive.
This speed limit bottleneck, Chen Hai studied, is the speed of sound.
In the short term, as far as the close combat defense of the city is concerned, there is no better and more convenient weapon to manufacture than the counterweighted catapult. When Su Yuan and Zhang Xiong came over this time, they sent over a hundred light catapult accessories. , but the base of the trebuchet crossbow and the crossbow pole, which requires cutting down thousands of years of solid wood, need to be made of raw materials mined on site in Hengshan City.
If the equipment change can be completed within a year, and all the old heavy crossbow arrows stored in the Longxiang camp are replaced with heavy crossbow shells, the continuous combat time of the guard battalion will be increased by five times. This increase in combat potential will be extremely terrifying.
After all, this is completely different from moving in a high-speed airplane.
Even so, the quenched iron material consumed by each heavy crossbow bullet is still only one-fifth of that of a traditional heavy crossbow arrow.
After all, the quiver array and talisman array required for a single-armed crossbow have been simplified, and ordinary craftsman apprentices in Tianji Academy can start refining them. At present, Tianji Academy allows all the main puppetry skills to be studied by craftsman apprentices. The only requirement is that the standard talisman array components must be refined and turned in on a regular basis. In fact, this is the main means for many factories affiliated to Tianji Academy to break through production bottlenecks.
The Rakshasa Realm on the other side of the Blood Cloud Wasteland is also a much higher level than the Jinyan states.
Fortunately, when the Tianshui County soldiers withdrew and handed over Hengshan and other cities to the Longxiang Camp to take over the defense, more than 50,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilian warriors still stayed and were taken over by the Longxiang Camp. Otherwise, hundreds of people would have been cut down years ago. It is not difficult to root a thousand-year-old solid wood, but it is not easy to mine stones and store a large number of stone bullets.
Chen Hai temporarily suppressed these thoughts that he could not completely get rid of. At the moment of the matter, he still used all means to strengthen the defense of the seven defensive fortresses on the eastern front with Hengshan City as the core with Huang Shuang, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and other generals. .
As a result, some powerful beings in the Rakshasa Region are even suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth. Even if the Blood Cloud Wasteland is completely connected to the Rakshasa Region and the Jinyan States, these powerful beings will not be able to enter the Jinyan States.
However, the earth has already broken through the speed of sound at a technical level.
Tianji Academy has long established a factory to manufacture individual combat crossbows. Although the cost is very high, and although it is not suitable for batch equipment for Longxiang Camp, the performance of the old individual combat crossbows is still superior to traditional crossbows. There are so many clans in Yanzhou that there are as many as crucian carp crossing the river. The more than a thousand individual combat crossbows built by Tianji Academy in the past two years were all snatched up at high prices. As a result, Chen Hai only had less than two weapons in the guard camp. Hundreds of individual crossbows.
What kind of existence is the Rakshasa Realm
From a purely technical level, the mystical inheritance of Jinyan sects is not necessarily more advanced than that of Earth.
Although the closed crossbow bore structure will also bring about a series of problems such as overheating, the structure and operation will also become more complex, and the crossbow bore components require more advanced quenched iron casting, but on balance, it is also a huge improvement.
Before the Tianji heavy-bore crossbow was officially launched, the old-style repeating crossbow was still a weapon that various sects and clans competed for.
However, even so, if everything goes smoothly, Longxiang Camp will have a thousand soldiers of the most elite guard camp next year, and they can all complete the change of uniforms. From the first to the fifth battalion, it will take at least five years for the 30,000 soldiers to complete the initial re-equipment. This time may seem very slow, but you must know that after the Longxiang Camp completes the re-equipment, its combat strength will be greater than that of the Hexi Dao Yamen soldiers. If you compare them shoulder to shoulder, you will know how terrifying this speed is.
In addition, the new crossbow chamber structure is not only suitable for individual combat crossbows, but also for Tianji repeating crossbows.
The Tianji Academy built the Tianji heavy-bore crossbow and the individual soldier crossbow, which are weapons that the ants can control. Once controlled, they can directly threaten the lives of high-level mysterious cultivators. In fact, they are the inheritance of the old styles of the Jinyan states. From a small group of elite occult cultivators taking control of everything, to a forced reversal into civilian society.
Now the war crossbow factory will directly replace it with new individual rifle crossbows. The annual output should reach one thousand.
Is there any chance for him to return to his homeland on earth
This is still related to the fact that Chen Hai was able to temper his body with wind and thunder after he realized the true meaning of wind and thunder. If it were other late-stage Mingqiao realm or even Tao Dan realm martial arts cultivators, even if his feet could explode with such powerful power, the muscles and bones of the physical body would It is also difficult for the orifice to withstand such a huge burst of power.
The appropriate plan is to wait until the spring of next year. Although the floods will then wash away the low-lying plains north of Hengshan into mud, and the swamps that will devour humans and beasts will be everywhere, Longxiang Camp will be able to have it by then. Three Wind Flame airships can transport men, horses, and supplies. It should be no problem to build a strong fortress in Yucheng Ridge before winter next year.
Compared with the past tradition of Dao Chan Yuan in spreading Dharma and supporting sects in Yanzhou, what Chen Hai is doing at this time can be said to be another subversive new model. Perhaps it is more appropriately called hidden lineage inheritance.
Chen Hai's slashing speed with his halberd at this time has naturally exceeded the speed of sound, but the extreme speed of his physical body can reach the frightening 100 meters in a short period of time, but it is only one-third of the speed of sound. Less than.
But Chen Hai is not complacent because of this, because he knows in his heart that on top of the earth's civilization and the mystical inheritance of Jin Yanzhou, there are still higher and more terrifying things that can even make people immortal, directly control the laws of heaven and earth, and can truly be called... A powerful inheritance from gods and demons.
This was originally a great reaction and overthrow, but as the chaos in Yanzhou had already begun, the control of the Jingjun clan headed by the Ying clan was weakened by the chief mate, and many powerful vassal forces in the border counties were eager to strengthen their own strength. , the cultivation of elite Xuanxiu is too slow, and cannot make up for the consumption of large-scale wars. The ordinary soldiers who can be qualified for battle with Tianji's heavy-bore crossbows, individual rifles and short-term training have not encountered any resistance. He was accepted by the clans of Yanzhou.
In addition, if the enemy's victory is only due to large numbers, and the defensive power of individual soldiers is limited, then the heavy-bore crossbow of the day machine will be replaced with a lower-cost ordinary crossbow ammunition...
Zhang Xiong, Sun Qian, and Su Yuan got the secret map of the new crossbow and went down to prepare it. Huang Shuang stayed on the tower with Chen Hai and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the inheritance of hidden veins?"
Tianji's heavy-bore crossbow must ensure that each crossbow bullet can drill through and tear through a one-third-inch-thick quenched iron plate beyond the range of two thousand steps. It will use a three-inch-long, cluster-edged bullet tip. The structure of the heavy crossbow projectile, especially the tip of the cluster tip, will be cast from grade eight quenched iron.
The source of the Dao Chan Yuan inheritance, the temple and the Dragon Emperors Cang Yu and Zuo Er came from this type of powerful inheritance.
Strictly speaking, the civilization system accumulated by the earth after countless years of development should naturally be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
But all this is just Chen Hai's guess, and he doesn't know if he will ever have the opportunity to step into the Rakshasa Realm to see what's going on.
Likewise, traditional sects and sects in the Jinyan states are even more obsessed with creating extremely sophisticated and complex high-level magic weapons or advanced formations. The more advanced magic weapons and formations require more advanced metaphysics and martial arts to master; this is At the same time, it ensures that the pyramidal governance structure within the sect and sect can be passed down stably.
Su Yuan and Sun Qian are still a little worried about building a city at Yucheng Ridge next year and having to defend it against the torrent of demonic barbarian attacks. In their opinion, with the current speed of equipment replacement and preparation, after three years, when all aspects of the preparations are more complete, and then considering the construction of the city at Yucheng Ridge, there should be greater certainty.
This inheritance is not unreasonable, nor is it far-fetched.
Currently, the thirty old Tianji repeating crossbows in Longxiang Camp are quite troublesome to transform. Thirty new Tianji heavy-bore crossbows should be built in the next year to gradually replace this batch of old repeating crossbows.
Chen Hai was stunned for a moment before he realized that Huang Shuang was referring to a batch of puppet weapons similar to Yanzhou's weapon refining tradition, such as crossbows. He also didn't know how to answer Huang Shuang.
Perhaps at this time there are still die-hards who regard Tianji Academy as a place of deviance, but if these people persist in their opinions, the only outcome will be to be annexed by other forces.
…
Earth's civilization seems to be based on the application of external energy and machinery such as gunpowder and electricity, while the inherited civilization of the Jinyan states is based on mystical methods and talisman formations. However, in Chen Hai's view, the most fundamental difference between the inheritance of the two civilizations is still The reason is that the civilization of the earth is based on civilian society, while the inheritance of the Jinyan states is based on a small group of elite Xuanxiu who stand above all living beings and regard the general public as ant citizens.
Except for the legendary Wei Boyang, who has not been confirmed yet, none of the people on the top list in the history of Yanzhou can live longer than 800 years. In addition to this, Yanzhou's Tianbang characters also have a neck that cannot be broken through. Not to mention physically moving and flying, even the flying magic weapon that exists in the world has a speed limit that cannot be broken through.
At this time, the scale of mass production of individual rifle crossbows can truly be expanded.
