Chapter 1027 Crossbow
Under the leadership of Macas, Lin Xinghai and Lina were surrounded by a group of strong dwarves and walked towards the interior of their station.
As he went deeper, Lin Xinghai gradually saw clearly the general situation of the dwarf camp.
The cave here is not too big, and there are many traces of excavation.
Obviously, this is not formed innately, or it is unknown whether this cave was excavated from scratch or expanded on the original basis.
If it is the former, then the excavation techniques of these dwarves are a bit terrifying.
Although this cave is only over 10 meters high, which is quite short, the area is not too small, at least comparable to the area of a small town on Earth.
It is not easy at all to dig out such a huge area.
As he continued to walk inside, more details in the camp appeared in Lin Xinghai's eyes.
The houses here are completely different from the elves’ residence.
The elves' houses are basically tree houses, while the dwarves' houses are mainly iron houses.
Of course they don’t have much iron here, so they are built with iron and stone mixed together.
And basically every house has a blacksmithing furnace. In other words, these cannot be said to be houses, but blacksmithing shops, but they live in them.
In fact, every dwarf is a natural craftsman, so almost half of the dwarves here are engaged in weapon forging.
The other half is dedicated to combat.
As for food, most of it is purchased from the elves.
Of course, all the weapons from the elves are purchased from the dwarves.
At this time, Lin Xinghai walked along and could see that most of the dwarves were forging arrows, some with good skills were forging longbows, and only a few were forging other equipment.
"Chief McCarthy, if you go all out to build it, how many arrows can you make in one day?" Lin Xinghai couldn't help but asked curiously.
“It depends on what type of arrows we have. We, the dwarves, still have 50,000 blacksmiths. If they are just ordinary arrows used in the realm of gods and demons, it is not a problem to make 50 million of them in one day. .”
"But if it is those enchanted arrows, or the spiritual weapon-level arrows used in the rule realm, the progress will be much slower. A craftsman can only make up to 10 arrows a day." McCarthy replied.
Lin Xinghai nodded thoughtfully, that is to say: "Now your production is completely redundant?"
According to his understanding, the intensity of the elven war is It's not high. After all, the elves don't dare to have large-scale conflicts with the demons. The number of arrows consumed every day is only a few hundred thousand.
Hearing Lin Xinghai's question, McCarthy's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "Mr. Lin, are you interested in the arrows we made?"
You know, Lin Xinghai The strong men who came to treat them had to be paid, although this time, they agreed to help Lin Xinghai tailor a full set of spiritual weapons, which was considered a reward.
But what about the subsequent treatment costs?
With the battle, it is impossible for them not to be injured, and they also plan to trade a large amount of healing medicine with the human race.
What to trade with is very important. Before, he thought of using cultivation-type elixirs like the elves.
But in terms of elixir reserves, they are definitely not as large as the elves.
After all, the dwarves only had a population of 1 million at their peak, which was far behind the elves.
Moreover, the dwarves are generally responsible for logistics work, so the casualties are not as large as the elves. There are still 100,000 dwarves. Their training resources can only be said to be barely enough, and there is not much surplus. If weapons can be used as payment instead of cultivating elixirs, that would be great.
“I am indeed interested!”
Lin Xinghai nodded without hesitation, “But the problem is that our human race is not good at bows and arrows. To be precise, We haven't used such weapons for a long time."
"So I want to customize a batch of powerful enchanted arrows, and then also need matching crossbows."
The crossbow is much easier to learn, and it can be aimed and shot. It is quite similar to a firearm. When the time comes, you can take it back and give it to other strong people. You only need to get used to it before you can get started.
Hearing that Lin Xinghai really had such a request, McCarthy's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his chest and said: "No problem, don't worry, the weapons made by our dwarves are not bad, even I can also tailor-make a crossbow that is most suitable for your race."
"Can it also be customized?" Lin Xinghai immediately became interested after hearing this.
"Yes! Do you humans have any long-range attack weapons? We can combine the characteristics of your weapons and reset a suitable crossbow." McCarthy nodded quite confidently.
Lin Xinghai took out a Ripper rifle directly from the storage space, handed it over and said, "This is the long-range weapon we use most often."
With Lin Xinghai's current strength, firearms are basically of little use to him. After all, the latest generation of Ripper rifles, combined with special bullets, can only damage the body shaping realm at best.
It’s just that when he was young, Lin Xinghai relied on firearms to make his fortune, so he naturally had a special love for firearms, so he kept one as a souvenir.
Seeing Lin Xinghai take out a strange-looking weapon, McCarthy suddenly stopped in his tracks.
For the dwarves, rare weapons are no different from the attraction of fine wine to drunkards.
"What kind of weapon is this? What is the principle of attack? Why are there no arrows?" McCarthy took the firearm from Lin Xinghai's hand and asked curiously while looking at it.
Ye Feng did not hide it, he immediately briefly explained the principles of firearms, and even fired at the rocks on the ground to demonstrate.
"Wow! What an ingenious idea. I feel like your human race's craftsmanship is no worse than ours!" McCarthy couldn't help but say.
The elders on the side also nodded quickly and agreed: "I didn't expect that these bullets are driven by the energy when gunpowder explodes. We have made such things as gunpowder a long time ago, but it feels that the power is too powerful. "It's a pity that I didn't dig deeper."
But another dwarf warrior shook his head, "Even so, the attack power is limited, and it can only hit the realm of quenching." In the body shaping realm, it is difficult to hurt the gods and demons."
The elder who just spoke immediately retorted: "But you didn't find this weapon called a gun. The most terrifying thing is its shooting. Is it fast? This is much more terrifying than the repeated crossbow we have developed. It can completely dominate the low-level battlefield and is still very valuable for research.”
Soon the two started arguing while talking.
Not only them, but the dwarves around them are also constantly gathering.
They had already received orders from the elders not to come and watch, so they just watched from afar.
But now as Lin Xinghai took out a weapon they had never seen before, these dwarves could no longer bear it.
Looking at more and more dwarves gathering together, Chief McCarthy also came back from his contemplation.
"Why are you all gathered here? Are you busy? In the next week, everyone's forging tasks will be doubled."
McCarthy first scolded and asked everyone to disperse, and then looked towards Lin Xinghai asked: "What are your requirements for the crossbow you want to make?"
