14 high-level wooden golems were sold for 420,000 gold coins. Including the remaining ones, Lin Jia has a total of about 500,000 gold coins on hand. If it is completely used to support the XP central system construction base, it should be enough. , based on the calculation that 20,000 gold coins are enough to fill the power furnace of the balance cabin once, these 500,000 gold coins can suppress 2,500 units of energy crystal blocks, enough to open the space channel of the etheric plane a hundred times. I read?Books&Zhai
However, after hesitating for a while, Lin Jia did not invest all the gold coins in the construction of the base, but set aside part of it as working capital. Peter Pan also successfully transferred the dimensional bag that Peter Pan borrowed from the small plane merchants of the Ethereal Plane Trading Company. A large amount of supplies given to Lin Jia for free arrived at the lava collar. The large amount of refined salt and seasonings almost moved Lin Jia to tears. Compared with these things, other supplies were not important.
The supplies Peter Pan gave to the Lava Collar included hundreds of animal tendon samples of different thicknesses and lengths. The thickest ones were like duck eggs, while the thin ones were like ballpoint pen refills. They were used to make crossbow weapons to fill the Lava Collar's shortage. The gap in long-range strike power.
With the tendons of these special animals, the three-bow bed crossbow that has never been produced can be produced, and a batch of small hand crossbows can also be made to fundamentally make up for the shortcomings of kobolds in melee combat. When thinking about a group of tall people, A guy who was only two feet tall carried a batch of powerful crossbows and rode on the wolves, firing the powerful crossbows while running wildly. Lin Jia couldn't help but think of that scene in the movie "Heroes".
Speaking of crossbows, the most ideal one is the Chinese Zhuge Crossbow with extremely fast shooting speed. Lin Jia has asked his brother to find a way to get the detailed design of the Zhuge Crossbow. This thing has dominated the world's crossbow industry for thousands of years since Zhuge Liang invented it. It is extremely powerful and has been tested countless times by modern weapon enthusiasts. After improvement. It has become quite abnormal, but in a world where guns are rampant on Earth, this powerful crossbow can only sadly become a plaything for enthusiasts.
But in this world of cold weapons, if the Zhuge Crossbow can be restored and used as a main battle weapon, Lin Jia doubts that a single Zhuge Crossbow soldier can sweep across the entire wilderness. This is based on the military repeating crossbow Lin Jia once owned. It can be seen that although there are so-called repeating crossbows in this world, their firing speed is slow. The accuracy is poor, far behind Zhuge Nu.
It is not difficult to get the restored design of the Zhuge Nu on the earth from the Internet, and I heard that there is also an improved version with self-loading and large ammunition. Depending on the location of the improved design, it is a "long-range powerful weapon" that pursues range and power. The "Zhuge Crossbow" has a rate of fire of 12 rounds in 6 seconds, while another type that pursues rate of fire and accuracy, nicknamed "The Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Zhuge Crossbow" by weapon enthusiasts, has a rate of fire of 15 rounds in 3 seconds. I&Look? The study is almost equivalent to a submachine gun!
???????????????? And this is just a retro version, the one that has been truly improved with modern firearms theory is probably even more terrifying!
According to the news from my brother, he has found several designs of the Zhuge Crossbow, but he is still spending money to find someone to study the practicality. In addition, he is also asking a group of weapons maniacs on the Jagged Forum to help him get an improved version based on modern firearms theory. version, so it will take a while.
Lin Jia couldn't wait any longer and asked his brother to get the improved design as soon as possible. There was no need to study the practicality. After all, XP, a central system with a mysterious origin, had lost its database. But it still has basic computing power and basic functions. Although it is impossible for it to invent something like a laser gun, we can provide it with a design drawing and let it judge whether it is usable or simple based on the material and design principles. , and can also be optimized on the original basis.
Originally, Lin Jia's brother Lin Xuan was still complaining that during this period, Lin Jia kept asking him to look here and there. The salary he earned as a salesman was not enough. Now he said that he did not need to spend money to find experts for research. Naturally I was happy to save some money, and quickly sent detailed design drawings of several versions of Zhuge Nu.
After receiving the information, Lin Jia immediately asked XP to analyze it, and XP, who was now full of energy, immediately waved eight strange hands as soon as he got the information. Start making samples using the materials sent by the kobolds.
After waiting for several days, XP finally informed Lin Jiadao through his motorcycle mule watch: "Sir, the weapon samples have been manufactured, please go to the base for testing!" Lin Jia was overjoyed when he heard this and left the work of directing the kobolds to build the lava collar. He quickly ran back to the base at the base of the lava leader's bamboo shoots.
"The effective range of this weapon is only 200 meters. The hit rate is medium to high, and the rate of fire is 5 arrows/second. The magazine capacity is ten rounds. Do you want to optimize it and create a weapon template?"
Lin Jia was very happy after confirming that the Zhuge Crossbow restored according to the design drawings was real and usable. Naturally, he confirmed that he would let XP optimize the design of several versions of Zhuge Crossbow and create weapon templates.
"Precision sniper crossbow, with a range of 800 meters, equipped with a self-loading ten-round magazine, crystal grinding sight, fire rate of 1 rocket second, manufacturing difficulty: high; because? Due to material limitations, it is impossible to carry out high-intensity optimization in terms of range, power, and rate of fire. It is recommended to find better materials for manufacturing. Sir, please name the weapon template! "
"Zhuge sniper crossbow!"
Lin Jiaxiao couldn't close his mouth. He was holding a prototype crossbow that was remade after optimizing the Zhuge Crossbow with XP. The slender crossbow, which was more than one meter long, had a magazine like a pencil box on the body. There is a switch handle-like device behind the box. Push it up and press it to automatically complete a series of actions such as winding and loading. It is also equipped with a monocular sight made of crystal-ground lenses. In addition to its style, It's a bit older, but as long as the operator is skilled in using it, it is almost equivalent to a semi-automatic sniper rifle.
"A rapid-fire single-shot machine crossbow with a range of 250 meters. It is equipped with a self-loading fifty-round magazine. The fire rate is 5 arrows/second. Manufacturing difficulty: high; sir, please give the weapon template a name!"
"Zhuge Charge Crossbow!" This variant of the Zhuge Crossbow is basically manufactured based on the prototype principle of the Zhuge Crossbow, except that it uses a mechanism on the loading mechanism that relies on the elastic force of the bowstring when it is reset after ejection. Compared with the "Zhuge Sniper", it saves the process of pulling the loading push handle every time a crossbow is fired, achieving a true "continuous fire". However, this crossbow has a fatal flaw, which is that under high-intensity Under fatigue use, the bowstring of high-speed ejection will be seriously worn. Basically, the bowstring must be replaced after every ten 50-round magazines are used.
However, XP has also developed a solution to this problem. Under the premise of material limitations, using animal tendons as bow strings cannot extend the service life, so we simply prepared several spare bow strings on the crossbow arms. Once the main bow string is worn out, You only need to pull the small handle under the crossbow body to forcefully change the string manually. Logically speaking, 2,500 crossbow bolts should not be used in a charge-type contact battle, right?
"Multi-string and multi-trajectory heavy-duty high-speed machine crossbow with a range of 120 meters. It is divided into three models: light, medium and heavy, with 3, 6 and 10 ballistics respectively. It uses double or multi-strings for firing, and is equipped with a self-loading type. 1000-round magazine, fire rates are 15 arrows/second, 30 arrows/second, 50 arrows/second, manufacturing difficulty: super high; please name the weapon template, sir!"
Lin Jia was dumbfounded. Can this kind of thing be considered a crossbow among cold weapons? Such a high rate of fire does not require an accurate head at all, but its shortcomings are also extremely obvious. Even the lightest of these three types of high-rate crossbows is huge, and the heavy ones have already caught up with the crossbow bed, so they can only They are used as city defense equipment, and the biggest problem is that these things are probably impossible to make by kobold craftsmen!
This thing needs to maintain the same efficiency as a firearm, and the accuracy of the parts is extremely high. Except for the XP that can complete such a high-precision manufacturing process, any hand-made parts may not be able to meet the requirements!
And let xp do the manufacturing? Although it is not impossible to produce it with tireless XP, the energy consumption is quite staggering.
Lin Jia was speechless as he looked at the three giant Zhuge crossbows finally made by A crossbow string fires multiple crossbow bolts at the same time, hitting the enemy with covering fire. Just imagine, if a hundred heavy-duty Furious Storm Lihua crossbows fire at the same time, 300,000 crossbow bolts can be fired in one minute. !
A magazine with a capacity of 1,000 rounds can only be replaced after 20 seconds of firing. In comparison, what does the overwhelming rain of arrows in "Heroes" mean? Once the Stormy Pear Blossom Crossbow is launched, it will cover the sky and the sun! ! !
Lin Jia's scalp felt numb for a while. The magazine like a big wooden box was installed on it. Who could lift it up? Kobolds are out of the question. Wooden Golems can still be considered
"XP, if you had to go all out to make it, how much energy would each Zhuge Crossbow cost?" Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and asked.
"Sir, since we need to use the equipment of the base for manufacturing, the average is: sniper crossbow/10 units, assault crossbow/10 units, light violent storm pear flower crossbow/30 units, medium violent storm pear flower crossbow/50 units, heavy violent storm pear flower crossbow/ 100 units of energy."
"So expensive?" Although Lin Jia was mentally prepared, Lin Jia was still surprised. Opening a space channel only requires 25 units of energy, but making a heavy crossbow actually consumes more than four times the energy? Based on the calculation that each unit of energy is equal to 200 gold coins, the sniper crossbow and charge crossbow are equal to 2,000 gold coins, and the three types of light, medium and heavy storm pear crossbows cost 6,000, 10,000 and 20,000 gold coins respectively.
