Chapter 797: The Blacksmith's New Crossbow
"Kitten, there is no problem when this knife swings and slashes, and the block is also very easy, the only unpleasant thing is that it is not easy to stab, ba"
Fang Zhiwen looked at Feng Hu, who was studying his long knife, and pointed to a certain position on the back of the knife, pointing out the position where he felt the center of gravity. This knife was originally Feng Hu's work, and it was customized according to Fang Zhiwen's requirements, and now Feng Hu is already a craftsman, and there is a skill that has exceeded level 70, and he continues to work towards the goal of a master craftsman.
Feng Hu gently tapped the long knife with his fingers, listening carefully to the crisp sound, his expression was very solemn and solemn at this moment, as if he was doing a very sacred thing, and people with this kind of expression were the real explorers.
"My lord, this knife was originally inclined to horse warfare, if the center of gravity is too forward, it will be easy to overshoot when swinging, in fact, the speed of the war horse galloping is already very fast, and the speed of swinging the knife does not need to be so fast at all, so the center of gravity of the war knife has moved back slightly, if it is a foot combat knife, the center of gravity must be moved forward."
Feng Hu was already familiar with Fang Zhiwen, so he wouldn't have too much of a sense of crampedness, and he spoke straightforwardly and had no scruples.
"This is a bit troublesome, if that's the case, Ma Zhan uses a knife, and foot Zhan has to prepare another knife."
Fang Zhiwen's concerns are right, if it is not smooth, it will indeed affect the combat power, in fact, the riding knife with the center of gravity behind will also have an impact on the chopping during foot combat, but Fang Zhiwen's strength is relatively large, so the impact is very small, but when stabbing at the back, this center of gravity gives people the feeling that the tip of the knife will be more floating, and it is particularly uncomfortable to use.
Feng Hu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Otherwise, let's add a counterweight to the back of the knife and add it when we are fighting." ”
As soon as Feng Hu said this, Fang Zhiwen immediately thought of the nine-ring broadsword in the knives of later generations, the big knife that would rattle, wasn't it for fun or to interfere with the opponent, and those rings were also for counterweights?
"How to counterweight? And how to add it? ”
"Well, you can only make a hole in the back of the knife. And then how about adding something that can be hung on the hole, like a small iron ring? ”
Fang Zhiwen looked at Feng Hu in surprise, this blacksmith with some tendons could actually come up with this, it was really amazing, Fang Zhiwen was very sure that Feng Hu was definitely an aborigine. Therefore, the wisdom of the common people of Egypt should not be underestimated.
"Okay, you can try, but I suggest you make a few more holes, and then you can adjust the weights according to different users. This idea is very exciting, the only drawback is that it will make a sound when making a knife, but there are good and bad noises in the battle, at least it can distract the opponent, and the bad side is that it is easy to expose yourself during a sneak attack or night battle. ”
Feng Hu nodded vigorously. There was also a look of excitement on his face, this idea was likely to have a new knife species, how could Feng Hu not be happy, he couldn't wait to start trial production now, but Fang Zhiwen was still here, he was embarrassed to run away, but it was okay to try to drive Fang Zhiwen away.
"My lord, I don't know until the effect is trial-made, and if it's an adult, it's fine. I'll go to the back and try to make this knife as soon as possible, and when it's done, I'll give it to the adults to try it. ”
"Hehe, I can't wait, huh? The crossbow on the wall is your new creation? Take it for me to see. ”
Fang Zhiwen was about to get up, when he suddenly saw a somewhat strange crossbow hanging on the wall. Interest was immediately drawn to the past.
"This" Feng Hu suddenly twisted, Fang Zhiwen looked at Feng Hu strangely, could it be that there was something strange about this crossbow?
"I just want to see, not buy. It's for someone else, not for you."
"My lord! God. I can only look at it1
"Cut, stingy 1
Fang Zhiwen smiled and took this crossbow that looked very slender and delicate, the length of the crossbow was slightly longer, and there was an extra shoulder rest, like a sniper crossbow, but with such a thin bracket, it should be made to be the same size as a heavy crossbow, can the crossbow arm withstand the tension of the heavy crossbow? Or is it actually a good-looking light crossbow?
Fang Zhiwen felt the weight, this seemingly light crossbow is not light at all, on the contrary, the feeling of starting is very weighty, but it is still a lot lighter than the heavy crossbow, Fang Zhiwen tried the strength of the bowstring, it seems to be between a light crossbow and a heavy crossbow, Fang Zhiwen was a little confused, what is the use of this kind of crossbow that does not touch the edge?
Feng Hu seemed to see Fang Zhiwen's confusion, and before Fang Zhiwen could speak, Feng Hu explained with a slight smugness: "The range of this crossbow is the same as that of a heavy crossbow1
"No, it won't! The tension of this crossbow's bowstring is much lighter, is it an attribute bonus? ”
Fang Zhiwen immediately opened the menu of crossbows, but obviously, this crossbow has no special attribute bonuses, it is just a very ordinary crossbow, and it has a very strange name 'butterfly wing crossbow'.
"Hehe, my lord, the range of the crossbow is not only determined by the tension of the bowstring, of course, the tension is also very important, but it is also related to the stroke of the bowstring, the stroke of this crossbow is longer than the heavy crossbow, you pay attention, the crossbow wing is higher than the heavy crossbow, so the front section of the crossbow arm must be made of good steel. The position of the string and the crossbow machine are both rear, and a shoulder rest must be added for trimming. ”
Fang Zhiwen took a closer look, and sure enough, the stroke of this crossbow was lengthened, so that this crossbow must be opened at the waist, that is, step on the crossbow wings with your feet, and then open the crossbow with both hands, isn't this a crossbow? !
"Waist crossbow?"
"If you are skillful in using it, you can open the string with one hand and load the arrow with the other hand, and the speed must be faster than the heavy crossbow.1
"Understood, this is to increase the rate of fire, while not losing the range and damage of the heavy crossbow, the idea is very good, and it can also save physical strength, especially when people with less strength use it, if normal soldiers use it, the benefits of saving physical strength are obvious, so, can this crossbow be mass-produced?"
"I've already sent a sample to the Weapons Research Institute, and they're still testing it, and now it's difficult to make the crossbow arm of this crossbow, and there's nothing else, so mass production shouldn't be a problem.1
Feng Hu replied with a smile, Fang Zhiwen was overjoyed, with this crossbow, the heavy crossbow dragoon can be wound with one hand, which means that as long as a simple hook device is installed on the harness, it can be wound on the horseback and loaded with arrows, in other words, the heavy crossbow dragoon will become a real heavy crossbow cavalry, and there is no need to dismount and reload the crossbow arrows, which is undoubtedly a huge good news for improving the cavalry's long-range strike ability.
"Good! Very good, kitten, you have made a great contribution again 1 Fang Zhiwen did not hesitate to praise Feng Hu , and Feng Hu was very embarrassed, and his dark face was a little red.
"Well, in fact, this was done for her, but after the preliminary completion, I found out that the benefits of this crossbow are obviously more suitable for our Miyun heavy crossbow dragoons than the Sanhuang crossbow, so I sent it to the research institute."
Fang Zhiwen smiled: "Then even she will be rewarded!" By the way, this crossbow hasn't been finished yet, is there anything else to add? ”
"And the seal carving and consecration! In addition, the part of the crossbow wing needs to be oil-immersed. ”
Feng Hu's seal carving and opening is actually the process of increasing the additional attributes of the crossbow bow, as for what attributes can be added, it depends on the craftsmanship of the seal carving craftsman, as well as the degree of enlightenment.
"Oh? So what attributes can appear in the best state? ”
"It's hard to say, I hope that there will be attributes of range extension, acceleration or injury, but it depends on the final result, crossbows can only be engraved with the pattern of Vermilion Bird or Mocking Wind, as for what attribute appears, it depends on the will of the gods."
Fang Zhiwen nodded, as for the question of attributes, those guys from the Weapons Research Institute will definitely do a lot of experiments, and then they will finally determine where to place and what kind of pattern to engrave, this is not something Fang Zhiwen needs to worry about.
"You haven't been seen lately, huh?"
"Hehe, she went to Daxianbei Mountain with her friends, where there are a lot of wild monsters and adventure dungeons."
"I heard their party has been upgraded?"
"Well, it's been promoted to the third level, and now there are a hundred members of the group, but they are not full, and the girls have no ambitions, recently in our Miyun, especially in the cities in the north, the adventure group has generally been upgraded relatively quickly, but there is a loss of personnel on the guild side1
Feng Hu took the crossbow handed back by Fang Zhiwen, and said casually while fiddling with it.
Fang Zhiwen's eyes lit up slightly: "Oh? Why is that, and how do you know that? ”
"The newly recruited members of their adventure group, when they were chatting here that day, they said that the original guild personnel began to slowly diverge, and many people went to the adventure group and the aboriginal army, according to her, it was boring in the guild, the management was strict, they felt unconvinced, the management was loose, they felt that there was no future, if the income was alone, it was better to go to the adventure group, if you want to grow and improve yourself, it is better to go to the aboriginal army."
Fang Zhiwen understood, this is the result of the sharp increase in the currency exchange rate of Zhi Brain, the guild that comes in from the outside blood transfusion is becoming more and more unable to support members, however, if this trend continues to expand, the exchange rate will fall again, and then the advantages of the guild will be highlighted again, Zhi Brain is playing with fluctuation balance.
Fang Zhiwen stood up with a smile, kept this in his heart, and waited to go back to tell Zhen Jiang and Li Xueyin about this matter, patted his crumpled clothes, and Fang Zhiwen said goodbye.
"I said, when are you going to start a family!?"
"Huh?! This and this, come on1 Feng Hu's face suddenly turned red to his neck, and his hands and feet felt a little unsure of where to put it.
Fang Zhiwen looked at Feng Hu, who was embarrassed, and turned around and left with a smile, if these two people can really get married, it is also a new thing, but this kind of thing is not uncommon, but compared to marrying a wife here, marrying people in the game is still very rare.
