Chapter 383 This girl Mengdie


Chapter 383 Mengdie Girl

The main purpose of Zhou Xu's visit to Prairie Village this time was to arrange Ma Guotao's affairs and confirm the situation here.

Other than that, there is basically nothing for him to worry about here in Prairie Village.

In comparison, there are more things going on in Black Moon Village.

So after sending Ma Guotao and briefly confirming the situation with Ye Jinghong, he returned to Black Moon Village that day.

After a night's rest, Zhou Xu, who had regained his energy, started his work early the next morning.

I first went to the forging department. After a while, the two sets of molds engraved with ancient elven characters have been completed.

One set is used to cast swords, and the other set is used to cast gun heads.

Considering that the next battlefield is on the grassland and cavalry is the core unit, the spear is probably the more important weapon.

At this moment, the forging department has already prepared a sample of the war knife and spear head engraved with ancient elven characters.

Picking up a gun tip, Zhou Xu directly launched the mantra combination without any ink.

【Elementary weapon blessing! 】

At that moment, the power of the mantra was released along with the words, and the iron spear head lying in Zhou Xu's hand had an invisible edge!

“It’s done!”

Zhou Xu was overjoyed when he saw this. The comprehensive equipment of enchanted weapons will definitely greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of their troops!

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the model maker.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. You have made merit in making the mold, and I will reward you with five hundred coins!"

After saying that, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the people of the forging department headed by the minister Wang Dachui.

“Calculating the time, the first batch of iron ore from the Tieshan Mine should be delivered soon. By then, everyone in the forging department will need to work hard to cast new versions of iron guns and swords. "

"Prioritize the casting of iron guns. The first batch needs to be cast with two hundred gun heads, and one hundred swords are needed."

As soon as this workload came to an end, there was an uproar in the forging department.

You must know that the gun head and sword are not just poured into the mold.

After taking off the mold, in order to improve the toughness of the weapon, they need to polish it multiple times. The whole process is quite time-consuming and laborious.

Considering the productivity of this era, two hundred gun heads and one hundred swords?

This workload can be said to be quite huge.

In fact, Zhou Xu currently does not have two hundred cavalry to arm.

As confirmed at the horse farm in Prairie Village yesterday, the horses they can use at the moment are only seventy-three in total.

In other words, there are up to seventy-three cavalry units, including the more special five centaurs, and seventy-eight iron spears are enough to arm them all.

Zhou Xu immediately asked for two hundred spear heads to make two hundred iron spears. This took into account the problem of damage during the battle.

Suppose in a battle, the iron gun of your cavalry is damaged. Repairing it will take time, but the next battle may not break out until you repair it.

For this reason, he needs enough spare weapons to ensure that after the weapon is damaged, he can immediately replace it with a new one for use, ensuring that his own troops can fight at any time, instead of passively waiting for the weapon to be repaired. .

At this moment, Zhou Xu was not surprised at all by the reaction of everyone in the forging department.

“I know this is a lot of work, but please rest assured that I, Zhou Xu, will never treat you badly. From today on, the people in the forging department participating in this forging work will not be counted as the original members. The salary you can get will be added to the bonus of 100 yuan. At the same time, the person with the best performance in the month will have the bonus doubled and will be rewarded with 200 yuan.”

On the basis of the original salary, an additional 100 yuan will be added! A bonus of one hundred dollars is enough to significantly improve their lives, not to mention doubling the bonus! The stimulation of money made the members of the forging department, who had been under a lot of pressure because of the huge workload, now cheer with excitement and excitement! I can’t wait to start work immediately!

Seeing this, Zhou Xu smiled and did not stay here to affect their work. He turned around and left the forging department and walked towards the outside of the village.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I saw Wang Dong riding over.

It is worth mentioning here that Wang Dong can already ride a horse, because his hometown is over the grassland, and his family's venues are also near the grassland, so he is quite skilled in riding.

"Teacher Wang, you came just in time. I am about to go to inspect the results of the equipment department. Let's come together."

Wang Dong was also called over by him, and he had already asked him to come here yesterday. The man took the news to Yanhu Village and asked Wang Dong to come over.

Wang Dong had breakfast there, arranged the things to be arranged, and then set off. He just arrived now.

Faced with Zhou Xu's invitation at this moment, Wang Dong didn't say anything. He just pulled the reins and followed Zhou Xu towards the testing site.

“Leader, Teacher Wang.”

Wang Dong’s arrival surprised Zhuang Mengdie, but he didn’t say much.

“Mengdie, are everything ready?”

"Everything is ready."

As he spoke, Zhuang Mengdie pointed in a direction.

Looking in the direction of their fingers, a bed crossbow that was several times larger than an ordinary wooden cart came into their eyes.

“Is this a bed crossbow?”

Wang Dong was stunned when he saw this object.

Although it is in the primitive era, due to the existence of Zhou Xu, many things here cannot be judged simply by the background of the era.

However, Wang Dong never expected that he would see a bed crossbow here!

"Is this for those lizard people?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xu nodded.

"There is a big guy in that gang of lizard men. I can't think of any other way to deal with him other than bed crossbows."

As they spoke, several people quickly approached him.

After getting closer, Wang Dong saw it more clearly, and at the same time, the shock in his heart became stronger.

“Good guy, this is not an ordinary bed crossbow, this is a three-bow bed crossbow, right?”

The bright combination of three strong bows is there, you have to judge this It is not difficult to make a three-bow bed crossbow, but Zhou Xu still explained.

"I just borrowed a rough design, but at this stage, the power may not reach the level it has historically been. There is probably a lot of room for improvement in the future."

After all, it was the first one they made themselves. Although Zhou Xu had high hopes for the three-bow crossbow, he did not dare to speak too highly of it.

“This girl Mengdie, I knew she was handy, but I didn’t expect her hands to be so skillful?”

Squatting down, looking at the mortise and tenon joints inside the three-bow bed crossbow Wang Dong was amazed at the structural connections and the various organization structures.

To be able to make such an instrument in this era, this craftsmanship is definitely worthy of being called a 'master'.
