Chapter 676 Dragon City's New Weapon!
Xiao Yu glanced at the bare arrowhead and said, "Take care of these feathers."
As she spoke, she thought of the corner of the studio where a pile of colorful feathers lay.
"Okay." Chu Ling Shuang nodded.
These feathers were so familiar that she recognized them at a glance.
It was a seventh-tier phoenix-tailed chicken feather.
Using pheasant feathers for arrow tail feathers not only enhances armor-piercing power but also improves the arrow's stability and accuracy.
Like beef tendons, feathers also need to be boiled.
Chu Ling Shuang immediately summoned the slime to clean the impurities from the large pot.
Then throw in a bunch of feathers to cook.
About an hour later, the feathers were still multicolored.
But it has gradually become more profound.
Chu Ling Shuang skillfully arranged the feathers and embedded them into the tail of the arrow.
Then, she closed her beautiful eyes and used her mental perception technique.
Using the method taught by Xiao Yu, they inscribed formations on each arrow.
It should be noted that the large ballista that Xiao Yu created was at least a seventh-grade top-quality divine weapon!
And each of these arrows is a level 6 divine weapon!
Therefore, anyone else wouldn't even be qualified to come and help Xiao Yu.
Only a sixth-tier forging master like Chu Ling Shuang is qualified to assist!
Another half hour passed, and all the arrow fletchings were installed and the formation was inscribed.
Looking at Xiao Yu, he also inscribed a large formation on the crossbow.
"Lord City Lord, let's find a place to test its power," Chu Ling Shuang said, somewhat eager to try it out.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.
As he spoke, he carefully put away the large ballista that was already loaded with bowstring.
Moments later, Honglian, Queen Medusa, and others arrived upon hearing the news.
They all followed Xiao Yu to the city wall, curiously looking at the ballistae.
Although this ballista looks like a powerful crossbow, it is clearly much more complex.
The bow-drawing mechanism alone consists of three bows from back to front: the rear bow, the main bow, and the front bow!
Imagine the power generated when three large bows are drawn together! It's at least three times the original force!
"Lord City Lord, please fire." Chu Ling Shuang respectfully handed over an arrow, smiling as she stood by, ready to help.
After all, large ballistae are too big and have many parts.
In practice, it is impossible for one person to complete the task; at least several people need to work together.
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, placed the arrow in the arrow path, and secured it.
Then, with a thought, several vines emerged from his palm, grabbing the three bowstrings of the back bow, main bow, and front bow respectively, and pulling them to full tension.
"Where should I shoot?" Xiao Yu looked ahead, searching for a target.
“Let’s shoot at that small hill,” Honglian said, her beautiful eyes flashing as she pointed to a hundred-meter-high mountain.
Xiao Yu glanced at the mountain peak and nodded, saying, "Okay."
The mountain peak that Honglian pointed to was about three kilometers away from their earth dragon turtle.
In addition, they are now on the back of the earth dragon turtle.
It was estimated that they were about five kilometers away.
Such a long distance is impossible to reach with a bow and arrow.
The only one who could possibly do it is Xiao Yu, who has already reached the level of the God of Arrows!
However, this large ballista completely ignores distances of several kilometers, and can even reach distances of more than ten kilometers.
"Ling Shuang, prepare to launch," Xiao Yu reminded Chu Ling Shuang.
"Yes, Lord City Lord." Chu Ling Shuang's eyes immediately sharpened as she gripped the ballista trigger tightly.
Ready to launch at any time.
After Xiao Yu adjusted his position and took aim.
"emission!"
Xiao Yu gave the order.
Chu Ling Shuang decisively pulled the trigger.
next second.
Whoosh!
An arrow shot out like a meteor in an instant.
Bang!
The arrow's depth was extremely fast.
A distance of several kilometers.
It only took about a second.
It hits the target directly.
The moment they saw the small mountain peak hit by the arrow, all the women narrowed their beautiful eyes.
Because a small mountain peak, 100 meters high, was blown to pieces!
It's important to know that Chu Ling Shuang didn't put in many fire stones.
In other words, the main reason for this achievement was the use of ballistae.
Queen Medusa, upon seeing this, also showed some surprise in her beautiful red eyes.
"If such an attack could actually hit a seventh-tier ferocious beast, even if it couldn't kill it in one blow, it would probably be enough to severely injure it."
“Yes! Unless it’s a ferocious beast that’s good at defense, it’s impossible to stop it!” The women nodded in agreement.
Of course, they were only saying that it was extremely powerful.
If it hits, its destructive power is naturally astonishing.
However, when you actually face a ferocious beast, it won't stand still and let you shoot it.
Hitting the target is not something an ordinary person can do.
"Lord City Lord, can we start mass production now?" A Qiu suddenly asked.
As masters of gunpowder and mechanisms, A Qiu and Dong Dong naturally followed along.
This crossbow is also a type of mechanical device, and if it is to be mass-produced, they will need to put in a lot of effort.
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "There are still many technical challenges in mass production."
First of all, this large ballista is designed primarily for shooting down ferocious beasts of the seventh rank or higher.
In the entire Dragon City, he is currently the only forging master who can create forgings of this caliber.
Therefore, we can only lower the standards and make some modifications to create a sixth-tier divine weapon.
With Chu Ling Shuang's current forging skills, she can mass-produce them.
"However, the explosive power is still a bit insufficient!" Xiao Yu looked at the mountain peak that was still half intact and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He was thinking that if he could use the second-tier Flame Stone, the power would at least double.
Its current power can only be described as severely injuring a seventh-tier ferocious beast.
However, even a seventh-tier ferocious beast would be certain to die if the second-tier Flame Stone was used!
"With our current amateur level, it's impossible to increase the explosive power of arrows in a short time," said the two sisters, Aqiu and Dongdong, with wry smiles.
Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No rush, you can focus on what you're good at. We'll be in the dungeon in a few days, so find some dungeon specialists to work with."
"Alright, everyone, disperse. Ling Shuang, come with me. Let's build two more ballistae."
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
.......
The rest of the day.
Xiao Yu and Chu Ling Shuang worked together again to build two ballistae.
This time, the focus is still on building a Tier 7 ballista.
At the same time, he also had to teach Chu Ling Shuang how to forge a sixth-order ballista.
After successfully building three large ballistae, Xiao Yu summoned Chen Long and ordered, "Chen Long, select a group of people from the city defense army to train specifically for ballistae."
"Yes, Lord City Lord! I will do it immediately!" Chenlong said with delight.
The attack power of this ballista is at least comparable to that of a seventh-tier divine weapon.
If used properly, it can easily deal with sixth or seventh-tier ferocious beasts, and is ten times more powerful than a crossbow!
In the future, they will become the new weapon of their city defense forces!
