My Empire War Game

"Gene, don't be under psychological pressure. In all fairness, are these jewelry exquisite?" Su Lun picked up a piece of jewelry and said to Gene.

"Yes, these jewels are the most beautiful ones I've ever seen." Gene nodded.

"That's not it, we need to give him a reasonable price for this kind of exquisite jewelry." Su Lun said with a hand spread.

"As for jewelry made by real elves, how many people have seen it now?" Su Lun picked up the pair of phoenix bracelets and said, "Since few people have seen it, what are you worried about?"

"When the time comes, you will say that it was found from the ruins, and then give a little guidance. With the exquisiteness of these jewelry, those people will naturally believe it."

Why did Su Lun have to pull these jewels on the elf? Very simple, because of the price, in the human kingdom, the nobles are very fond of the things left by the elves, so the price of the things that are related to the elves must be at least several times higher.

The second wife of his cheap father brought a necklace from her family's home that was said to be from the hand of an elf. It was said that it was a wedding gift prepared for her by her father, the Marquis of Osborne. Su Lun had also seen it several times at the time. To be honest, the necklace was indeed beautifully made, but it was just as different from the jewelry in his hands.

This is also the reason why he dares to pretend to be jewelry made by elves. Elves have returned to the forest of elves for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are several pieces of jewelry made by elves, so Su Lun is not worried that it will be dismantled.

Genn is indeed a business-minded guy. After Su Lun reminded him, he immediately prepared a set of rhetoric, and after Su Lun's differences filled the gap, he made up a story.

Originally, the price of these beautifully crafted jewelry was more than 1,000 gold naars at most, but now with the blessing of the elf background, they can be sold for at least 5,000 gold naars.

Five thousand gold nars, all purchased as food, are enough to support his territory through the cold winter.

After negotiating with Jean, Su Lun asked him to go back and prepare. The caravan set off in the next few days. This time, Su Lun, the guard of the caravan, was going to let the new barbarians go half way, and Johnson also brought Half of them went there, so that these new barbarians could grow up as quickly as possible after a few battles.

With veterans like Johnson around, Su Lun doesn't have to worry about the new barbarians being at a loss. The goblins, kobolds, gnolls, etc. encountered along the way are almost upgraded after brushing a few back and forth.

After getting things sorted, Sullen began to deal with another crisis facing the territory.

Under normal circumstances, the ice pterosaur will not attack humans, because the risk of attacking humans is higher than that of the bison, giant deer, and goral prey on the wasteland, so he is safe here for the time being, but after winter, Animal activities in the wasteland are sparse, and if there is not enough prey, the ice pterosaurs are likely to attack humans.

Su Lun can't pin the security of the territory on whether the Ice Wing Dragon will attack, so the best way is to make the ballista.

Before, Su Lun had already made a ballista, and he was very familiar with the structure of the ballista, and more importantly, he later acquired mechanical control, gained a lot of mechanical knowledge, and made some improvements to this ballista. Methods.

There are also ballistas in this world. The names are different names such as bed crossbows and giant crossbows. In fact, they are all one kind of things. The structure of ballistas is complicated and the operation is very inconvenient. A ballista needs eight to ten people to complete the operation. .

Ballista's range can be up to 1000 meters, but this distance has no power, let alone accuracy. In fact, the effective range of ballista is between 400 and 600. Of course, the problem of accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

This kind of ballista is powerful. Using a two-meter-long javelin as a weapon, it can shoot into the rammed-earth city wall within 400 meters, and even a brick and stone city wall can penetrate more than a foot. Can't even ask for a favor. However, although this weapon is powerful, it also has many disadvantages.

First, the winding speed is slow, and several strong men with big shoulders and round waists are required to work together to wind the string. Second, the accuracy is low. Basically, after more than 200 meters, the crossbow arrow will not have any accuracy. Third, it is difficult to carry, the ballista is heavy, and is usually fixed on the city wall.

Fourth, maintenance is difficult. The bowstrings used by ballistas are specially made, preferably some high-level Warcraft tendons, but these tendons are too few and expensive, so most ballistas use special processing. For beef tendon, twist the number and beef tendon into a single piece, and add silk wire and other mixed windings at the same time. The bowstring made in this way has a short service life. Basically, the bowstring needs to be replaced after six or seven times of use.

In addition, there are some other shortcomings. After the transformation of Su Lun, although these defects have not been solved, they have also improved a lot. The most obvious one is that the winding speed has been accelerated. This part of the winding uses the pulley block and lever principle, and the operation of the ballista is also much easier.

At the same time, the ballista uses fine steel as parts, which makes maintenance easier and the service life increases. Of course, not all of them are good. As a result, the weight of the ballista increases again.

Su Lun divided the design drawing of the ballista into various parts, and then asked the blacksmith shop to make them according to the drawings. Finally, he assembled all the parts himself. In this way, only he knew the production process of the ballista. The bowstring of the ballista uses the main tendons of the Stormrage Tiger.

After the 20-meter-long main tendons were specially processed, a total of 16 bowstrings were made. This time, Su Lun planned to make eight ballistas, of which eight bowstrings were installed directly, and the rest were reserved as spares.

Eight ballistas were placed on all sides of the town. Suren built eight high platforms in the city to install these ballistas. With these eight ballistas in place, even if the Ice Wing dragon came to attack, they would have to be carefully weighed. Weigh.

The construction of the territory is still proceeding in an orderly manner. The first batch of iron ore mined in the mine was also transported to the port by water. Although the speed of the boat against the current is very slow, and the boatman is required to paddle at the same time, but even so, it is more expensive than land transportation. Much faster.

Suren knew exactly what the road in the wilderness was like. In comparison, the amount of ore that ships can transport at one time is more than ten times that of a horse-drawn cart.

After the ship docked, the goblin slaves who had been waiting here for a long time began to load and unload the ore, which would then be sent to the blast furnace of the blacksmith shop. At most, the day after tomorrow, the first batch of iron products produced by the iron ore mines will be released.
