System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 219: Spend the Night With Me (10000) (3)


As long as this crossbow cannon is transported to the city wall, if there is an enemy attacking the wall, it will definitely become a powerful weapon for defending the city!

Lynn couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

While Lynn was observing the crossbow cannon, Colin stood quietly by the side, waiting without any interruptions.

Stepping over, he came to his side.

After a few minutes, Lynn spoke: "A very impressive crossbow cannon."

Colin spoke with a respectful tone.

"Master, the testing area is just behind the workshop. Do you need me to have them transport the crossbow cannon there?"

Lynn replied: "Yes, transport it over and let's see the power of this crossbow cannon!"

Colin responded: "Yes, Master."

At Colin's call, dozens of carpenter apprentices came forward.

With uniform shouts, the apprentices slowly lifted the crossbow cannon.

With careful reminders, they headed towards the back of the woodworker workshop.

Behind the workshop was a large area of undeveloped wasteland.

The crossbow cannon was placed on a leveled piece of land.

In the distance, the wasteland showed traces of soil dented by fallen stones.

Clearly.

The previous catapult test also took place here.

Lynn glanced around and then turned his gaze back to Colin.

"Load the stone projectiles first and check the range and power of the shots."

Colin quickly complied, summoning the carpenter apprentices to begin loading the stone projectiles.

Under the busy efforts of the apprentices, one stone after another was placed into the rope netting.

As a few other carpenter apprentices turned the winch,

With the sound of the crossbow cannon's leather bowstring tightening, the bowstring was secured in place.

Everything was ready.

Colin and the apprentices uniformly looked at Lynn.

Naturally understanding the meaning in their eyes, Lynn called out.

"Without a target, adjust the angle and shoot in the furthest direction!"

"Fire!"

With Lynn's order, the carpenter apprentices responsible for the projection promptly released the firing mechanism.

The locked bowstring rapidly rebounded under powerful torsion, propelling the stone projectiles from the net pouch swiftly forward.

Stones weighing over ten kilograms each arced through the air.

Finally, they landed heavily in a patch of wild grass.

What followed were muted thuds.

Lynn said nothing as he strode towards the position where the stones landed.

Treading through the wild grass sprouting tender shoots, Lynn stood beside each stone projectile.

Perhaps due to the softness of the soil, or perhaps due to the power of the crossbow cannon,

the stones were embedded directly into the soil by over ten centimeters!

This was because the soil provided tension, absorbing and distributing the force when the stone projectiles struck.

If it struck a soldier, their armor would be dented instantly, flesh mangled!

Even if it were the city wall, it would shake and crack!

Lynn's gaze shifted back to where the crossbow cannon was placed.

The distance was roughly about two hundred and fifty meters!

Loading stones weighing fifty pounds and still able to project such a distance, it had already met his expectations.

According to the knowledge and memories acquired in his mind, a well-performing crossbow cannon's maximum range is only about two hundred and eighty meters when projecting with fifty-pound stones.

It can fire long spears up to five hundred meters.

Just like the previous catapult.

Although it did not achieve optimal performance, Colin and the others followed the blueprint meticulously.

Before this, they had no experience manufacturing large devices.

They didn't even know what a catapult or a crossbow cannon was.

Being able to produce such large devices in a short period, he was naturally satisfied.

Lynn turned his gaze to Colin and spoke: "The stone's shooting range and power are quite decent."

"Continue, test the data for the long spears!"

Colin sensed a change in Master Lynn's tone and felt slightly relieved.

Clearly, Master Lynn was quite satisfied with the initial test of this crossbow cannon.

Colin responded: "Yes, Master."

Immediately, Colin called out to the carpenter apprentices to start the long spear test.

Shooting long spears is similar to shooting arrows.

The long spears must be placed on the crossbow cannon's launch track, aligning the spear's center of gravity with the crossbow's firing axis.

And the tail of the spear must closely adhere to the bowstring!

While the carpenter apprentices were busy, Lynn returned to the side of the crossbow cannon, waiting for their operation.

Soon after.

The long spear was installed on the crossbow cannon, and the winch had already lifted the bowstring, making it taut.

Without needing the gaze of Colin and others, Lynn called out: "Fire!"

With the experience from earlier, the carpenter apprentices once again released the firing mechanism.

The tightly adhered bowstring at the tail of the long spear instantly rebounded.

The mounted long spear, with this force, instantly disappeared from sight.

With great speed, it shot forward into the air.

As it passed, the long spear emitted a distinct "buzzing" sound.

Much like the stone projectiles, the spear also traced a curve and eventually plunged, with its sharp and sturdy spearhead piercing fiercely into a patch of wild grass.

Lynn stepped forward.

A few minutes later, he stood beside the spear.

But.

The spear, more than two meters long, was embedded halfway into the soil.

Lynn extended his right hand to grasp the spear, attempting to pull it out.

Perhaps because it was too deeply embedded.
