System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 231: Is Mark Crazy? (10000 Words) Part 3


It's easy to master, and it's entirely possible to train a large number of soldiers to use crossbows in a short time.

In fact, as long as enough crossbows are manufactured, it's feasible to equip each person with a crossbow!

Secondly, crossbows can fire continuously, forming a dense stream of fire in a short time!

Since the effective range of a crossbow arrow is usually between fifty to one hundred meters.

It's more suitable for defensive and ambush operations.

Then, the crossbow relies on mechanical energy to launch the arrows.

The arrows are usually shorter and thicker, capable of producing great penetration at close range.

Though as the range increases, the penetration power gradually decreases.

But for penetrating ordinary leather armor and some light armor, it's more than sufficient!

Lastly, there's the accuracy of the crossbow.

The manufactured crossbows can have a fixed launching device and aiming system.

To a large extent, it can assist in aiming!

...

After a round of analysis in Lynn's mind, overall, the strengths and weaknesses of longbows and crossbows are considered.

But for him, the advantages of crossbows clearly outweigh the disadvantages!

The development time of his territory has been merely a year.

Compared to the beginning, the total population in the territory has naturally soared.

However, the number of people having proficient longbow shooting skills is only a handful.

It takes at least ten years of training to produce a skilled archer.

Time is precisely what Lynn currently lacks the most.

If they could mass-produce crossbows and equip them for some soldiers newly joined in the army.

Then, through crossbow usage training and aiming instruction, a crossbow unit can be formed in a short time!

Moreover.

The current focus of the territory is still on development.

They can fully capitalize on the advantages of crossbows to enhance the defensive capability of the mountain pass city walls!

Thinking of this.

The resolve in Lynn's mind had already been cemented.

He needed to produce crossbows on a large scale!

Striding out, Lynn left the archery training ground heading towards the town.

Under the gaze of numerous townsmen, Lynn returned to the town, passing through the Lord's Square.

Finally, he arrived at the Bow and Arrow Workshop within the Handicraft Workshop District.

In the Bow and Arrow Workshop, the foreman Jose Morgan was leading a hundred apprentices, making longbows.

Seeing Lynn arrive at the Bow and Arrow Workshop, Jose hurriedly stepped up to greet him.

Standing in front of Lynn, Jose bowed slightly, speaking respectfully, "Master Lynn, you're here!"

Seeing Jose's attitude in front of him, Lynn felt slightly satisfied.

After the last warning from death, Jose had become more honest.

Lynn spoke: "You continue with your work, don't mind me."

Jose raised his eyebrows, momentarily unclear about Master Lynn's words.

But soon after.

Jose understood.

Under his watchful gaze, Master Lynn proceeded to the workshop's raw material storage area and began selecting wood.

The stance clearly indicated he was preparing to get his hands dirty.

Lynn's gaze swept over the pieces of wood one by one.

The next second.

His eyes fixed on a chestnut-colored log, stripped of bark.

[Mulberry Wood]: Tough and elastic, with relatively straight grain, easy to process, suitable for making tools, architectural decoration, crafts, etc.

With a move, Lynn directly lifted the piece of mulberry wood out of the pile of logs.

Arriving at a controlled processing workstation.

Lynn skillfully secured the mulberry wood on the chopping stand.

He picked up the Iron Axe resting at the side with his right hand, tightly grasping it with both hands, and started chopping and processing.

Thud~

Thud~

Thud~

The blade of the Iron Axe fell upon the mulberry wood, producing a low, resonant sound, one after another.

Chunks of wood shavings flew off the mulberry wood.

The incremental experience was continuously increasing.

[Production Experience +1]

[Production Experience +1]

[Production Experience +1]

...

As skill experience increased.

The knowledge and memories on how to make the [Zhuge Crossbow] continuously surfaced and quickly merged in Lynn's mind.

The feeling was akin to long parched concrete ground.

Suddenly a rainfall fell upon the ground, absorbed instantly.

But as the rain transitioned from a droplet to a sheet, the once parched concrete quickly became saturated.

It further pooled into a puddle on the surface…

It's just as if thinking about the item you want to produce, and then taking action, allows you to gain knowledge and memories.

Feeling the increasingly complete production memory of the [Zhuge Crossbow] in his mind.

A sense of realization surfaced in Lynn's heart.

Not to mention the various abilities unlocked through grinding skill experience.

This one ability alone was enough to be considered terrifying!

You must know.

There's no 'Romance of Shu Han' in this world, nor is there a 'Zhuge Crossbow.'

The ability to make one stems purely from the thoughts in his mind.

Then, [Heavenly Artifacts] integrates the livered-out memories with his brain!

That is to say.

The territory's current smelting and forging technology, along with handicraft processing technology, is limited.

Otherwise.

He would never consider making a [Zhuge Crossbow].

At least he would start making a [Matchlock Gun]!

Suppressing the distractions in his mind, Lynn devoted his full attention to processing and making the [Zhuge Crossbow].

In Lynn's continuous work, the mulberry wood on the workstation transformed, becoming rectangular planks.
