My Empire War Game

The Weaponry Bureau only took two days to build, and the properties were pretty good.

[Weapons Bureau: the department used to research, develop, improve, and make weapons; speed up research +10, keep improving +8, craftsman spirit +10, work efficiency +10]

Although the attributes were only slightly increased, the effect was very good. Su Lun arranged thirty craftsmen here, and now the first weapon studied by the Arms Bureau is the crossbow.

The crossbow obtained by Sulun is simple in structure, small in power, short in range, and slow in winding speed. Compared with the current centaur longbow and elven longbow, it has no advantages, and it is almost the same as the birch bow used by human archers. After this level of crossbow is equipped, there is no advantage at all, so Su Lun intends to research and upgrade before equipping it.

Of course, even if you want to research and upgrade the crossbow, you need to make the basic crossbow first. Many countries have equipment such as crossbow, but they prefer the powerful bed crossbow. For small single-person crossbows There is not much research, and the price of making a crossbow of this kind is not a small amount, so the popularity of small crossbows in various countries is not high.

Ordinary crossbow arrows are not a high threat to knights. In this extraordinary world, a knight can wear plates to rush back and forth on the battlefield. Ordinary crossbow arrows cannot pierce the plate armor at all. Only large bed crossbows can pose some threats to them, but the bed crossbows are heavy and inconvenient to move. As long as they are found in advance, the hit rate is lower. They are more suitable for siege or defense.

Because he has mechanical control and has made bed crossbows before, it is not difficult for him to make a small crossbow machine. Let those craftsmen lay hands on themselves, and Su Lun made it according to the design drawings of the crossbow machine.

As long as the bracket of the crossbow machine is made of metal, this part can be poured directly in the future, and the other places are made of wood with good elasticity. The bowstring is made of some materials such as beef tendon. The bowstring used on the crossbow machine is more than ordinary bows and arrows. Tough, so it is tanned with a few beef tendons, and iron wire can be added when necessary to increase the strength.

With the completion of the last part, Su Lun finally finished all the parts of the crossbow machine? Moved some of the body? Su Lun picked up the parts and started assembling. Compared to making and assembling, the speed is much faster? In only ten minutes, a crossbow was made.

In fact, the crossbow machine in the drawings given by the system is an arm stretcher? However, the winding speed of the arm stretcher crossbow is slower, so Su Lun modified it a bit? It became a stretched crossbow. Is a pedal added to the front end of the crossbow? When opening the crossbow, step on the pedal with one foot and pull the strings with both hands, which is faster and more labor-saving than winding the strings completely with both arms.

Su Lun tried to open the crossbow? Then put the special crossbow arrow on the crossbow machine? The crossbow arrow used by the crossbow machine is different from the arrow used by the bow arrow. The crossbow arrow has no feathers and no bow length. After fixing the crossbow arrow, Su Lun took the other craftsmen to a weapon testing field behind.

Ask people to place the archery targets at distances of 50 meters, 80 meters, 100 meters, and 120 meters. Surun began to test. Holding the crossbow machine in one hand and holding the handle in the other hand? Then aim the crossbow machine at a distant target, and pull the trigger with your fingers.

"collapse!"

There is a sound of bowstring vibration? The crossbow arrow instantly shoots to the distant target? It hits the center of the bullseye. Then Su Lun continued to rewind and shoot? Beng Beng Beng, a series of bowstrings sounded, and after a while, Su Lun shot out a dozen crossbow arrows.

Next, let’s look at the lethality of the crossbow arrows. The 50-meter arrow directly penetrated the target. These targets are made of hardwood and have a thickness of seven centimeters. It is not easy to penetrate. The crossbow arrows on Mi's target were also submerged deep.

On the 100-meter target, the penetration depth of the crossbow arrow is very shallow, about one centimeter, while the crossbow arrow on the 120-meter target can be easily pulled off, basically it has no lethality. The strength of Su Lun's arrogant crossbow is 30 kilograms, and an adult can easily pull it away.

The power is also so-so. The lethality is very strong within 80 meters. It can penetrate armor at a distance of 50 meters. The power will drop linearly at a distance of more than 100 meters. The crossbow arrow is different from the bow and arrow because there is no arrow feather and the stability is very poor. The power will not work.

However, a 30 kg crossbow can only be regarded as the first level, and a stretched crossbow is usually more than 60 kg. By then, the range of the crossbow will definitely be longer and the armor penetration effect will be stronger. In fact, for a 60-kilogram crossbow, you only need to strengthen the bow arm and chord, and the main body of the crossbow does not need to be changed.

After Su Lun tested this kind of crossbow machine without any problems, he asked the craftsmen to conduct research and design in the basic field of this crossbow arrow. Su Lun did not intend to participate in this research and design. If he did everything, he would also need those craftsmen. What do we do? As a lord, he is very busy. He only plans to take the time to take a look at the Institute of Weapons Bureau and give pointers when encountering problems that cannot be solved.

Just when Sulun established the Weaponry Bureau, the corresponding training in the barracks has already begun. The militia system in Zhenbei City has now been established. The militiamen are different from professional soldiers. The militiamen’s salary is very low, with a minimum of five days per month. Training time, the rest of the time is normal work.

The training of the militia has also changed. It is the formation and familiarity with various semaphores. In fact, the training of the army is often the formation. Both the pikemen and the archers need to understand the formation.

Now the soldiers in Zhenbei City are training the phalanx of crossbowmen. Once the crossbows are made, they will soon be able to form combat effectiveness. These soldiers do not need to go out of the city to fight, and usually stay in the city for defensive operations.

Crossbowmen need to be assisted by other troops when they go out of the city to fight. Only when they are formed into a dense formation can their lethality be strong. There is no formation or a loose formation. The crossbowmen are simply a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

At the same time, the flanks of the crossbowmen also need to be protected by other arms, otherwise they can easily be attacked by bypassing the rear. The mental quality of the militiamen in Zhenbei City is not up to the requirements at all. Zhenbei City now includes the security army, regular army, and militia. The total number of soldiers has exceeded 10,000, and the total population in the Suren Territory is less than 150,000. Of course, this is not counted as slaves such as goblins and kobolds.

This ratio is already very high among the surrounding countries, and the military pay of Zhenbei City’s army is also higher than that of the surrounding countries. Now Zhenbei City’s finances are somewhat stretched. Originally, Zhenbeicheng's income could support so many troops, but whoever allowed Zhenbeicheng to carry out too much work now.

The biggest cost in Zhenbei City now is various projects. Although many materials are produced in Zhenbei City to reduce costs, many magic materials can only be purchased with caravans, such as the magic materials delivered from the Luolanvia City-State Alliance. The price here must increase at least twice.

And many magic experiments need to consume gold. Gold is a common material in alchemy. Hathaway is also a big consumer of gold. According to some wizards' statistics, a legendary wizard may consume a lot of gold in his lifetime. From tons to dozens of tons.

For example, magic gold (a substitute for fine gold) made by wizards consumes a large amount of gold for refining each time. The thorium, which is also used to replace mithril, is also refined by silver.

It takes at least a few million Kinnars to build a wizard tower, and now most of the wealth in Surun’s treasury has been used up. Fortunately, there are underground gold and silver mines that are still being excavated. Every month, a large sum of gold and silver will be credited to the account. The restoration of the Secret Realm has slowed down, and Suren is preparing to build the Wizard Tower first.

Because he is ready to establish a Principality, Su Lun is now also preparing to issue his own currency. Currency exchange in this world is very chaotic. There are more than 30 kinds of gold coins alone, and the gold content and weight of these gold coins are different. The gold coins with the highest value are the wealth gold coins issued by the Fortune Church.

This kind of gold coin is very popular throughout the continent because of its excellent production and high gold content. The most popular money for merchants is this kind of wealth gold coin. The front of the wealth gold coin is the head of the wealth lady, and the back is the emblem of the wealth church. It can be said that it is really because of the pursuit of wealth that Ms. Fortune has a large number of believers.

It’s just maybe because of money. Most of these people are pan-believers. There are not many devout believers and fanatics. It’s really hard for those businessmen to be speculators and want them to wholeheartedly believe in a god. .

The coins that Su Lun was about to mint were to be printed on the wonders of the territory~www.ltnovel.com~ As for why he didn't print his head, Su Lun felt too ashamed. And because of the technical reasons, the heads printed on the gold coins are not clear. Of course, the wealth of the gold coins is because the wealth of the church is rich and the use of magical assistance, but Su Lun does not have so many wizards to help make the gold coins.

He is going to print the image of the Arc de Triomphe on the gold coin, and the face value of the gold coin is printed on the front of the gold coin. At the same time, he is also preparing to make the exchange rate of the gold coin simpler. He intends to directly exchange the thirty-six silver coins, which is the brain-dead exchange rate, to 10, but the weight of the gold coins must be controlled well and not at a loss.

A unified exchange rate can greatly facilitate ordinary people to conduct transactions. Zhenbei City must be vigorously developing business here, and Su Lun will not deliberately engage in special troubles.

Zhenbei City has already had coinage experience before, but now it is only to exchange the coins of the Kingdom of Florence with coins from Zhenbei City. In fact, gold coins are rarely made of pure gold, because the quality of pure gold is too soft and easy to deform and wear, so many times They are mixed with some other metals to increase the hardness.

PS: Su Lun is ready to establish the Principality. Asking for the name of the Principality, Mr. Zhenbei is in a play...
