System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 232: Request Him to Dispatch Troops Immediately (10000 Words)


The next day, early morning.

After having breakfast, Lynn arrived at the bow and arrow workshop early.

Foreman Jose, along with a group of apprentices from the bow and arrow workshop, had long been waiting expectantly.

Under the reverent gazes of the crowd, Lynn came to the workbench he used yesterday to continue crafting the [Zhuge Crossbow].

Next, he would craft the crossbow's arrow quiver!

The material for the quiver also had requirements.

The texture needs to be hard and the grain should be fine.

The purpose is to ensure the quiver's solid stability.

According to the memory in his mind, Lynn ultimately decided to set the length of the arrow quiver to thirty centimeters.

Mainly to tightly accommodate ten arrows.

Lynn picked up the iron tools from the table, cutting the wood into suitable pieces to craft the frame for the quiver.

...

The size of the frame should be able to accommodate the required number of arrows.

A Zhuge Crossbow quiver usually holds ten arrows.

He spent some time chiseling mortises, combining tenon and mortise structures, and then used iron nails and hoops to reinforce the quiver.

The top of the quiver needs to have an opening to install a movable lid for arrow loading.

Similarly, the lid is connected to the quiver's body through hinges and a tenon and mortise structure, ensuring it can open and close freely.

This guarantees that the crossbow remains closed during firing to prevent arrows from flying out and falling.

Under the watchful eyes of many apprentices, Lynn methodically carried out the production.

Once the quiver was completed, ensuring no issues were present.

Then Lynn began installing the crafted quiver on top of the crossbow arm.

Aligning the quiver's arrow opening with the slot carved on the crossbow arm yesterday.

Ensuring arrows can smoothly fall into the arrow path.

Time flowed quickly as Lynn stayed busy.

Despite this, he did not pause.

Setting aside the semi-finished crossbow.

Lynn continued onto the next step of production, the core of the crossbow, the crossbow mechanism!

The trigger and linkage are components of the mechanism.

The trigger controls the firing of arrows, while the linkage connects the trigger to the crossbow string, enabling string pulling and firing functions!

Based on the [Zhuge Crossbow] crafting principles in his mind.

The shapes and sizes of the trigger and linkage should be designed and crafted according to the overall structure and mechanical principles of the crossbow!

With this in mind.

Lynn stepped forward to the forging area of the bow and arrow workshop.

Since the construction of the bow and arrow workshop, there has been a metal forging area within.

The purpose was to craft various crossbows and arrowheads.

Now it's perfectly suitable for forging the components needed for the [Zhuge Crossbow] mechanism.

Lynn used iron tongs to extract a glowing red and orange hot iron piece from the furnace, placing it on the anvil.

He picked up the iron hammer beside him with his right hand and began forging directly.

Ding~

Ding~

Ding~

With each strike, sparks flew, producing a clear metallic collision sound.

Jose and a group of apprentices watched the sturdy expression on Master Lynn's face.

Their hearts were filled with complexity and sentiment.

Even though they've heard long ago that Master Lynn enjoys doing things himself.

Planting crops, building houses, cooking meals, and so on.

However, this was their first time seeing it so closely.

Their Master Lynn not only processed and crafted personally but also forged iron himself.

More importantly,

The crafting and forging techniques and proficiency of their Master Lynn far exceeded theirs!

Jose was also filled with sentiments.

With his ability and skills in crafting bows and arrows, even if he went to some great lord's workshops.

Most people would treat him with respect.

Because he possesses technology, he can craft longbows and arrows!

Longbows and arrows can increase the lord's military strength!

However.

When first becoming a slave and arriving at Master Lynn's territory, he was initially treated well.

He was immediately appointed as the foreman of the bow and arrow workshop.

Leading and instructing a hundred apprentices to start crafting bows and arrows.

But because he was used to laziness, he liked to slack off during work...

Jose never expected that Master Lynn would quickly discover him.

And issued a stern warning—Fail the task, and beheading follows!

At first, Jose thought Master Lynn was just intimidating him.

Because across the small town, those capable of crafting longbows and arrows were merely one or two people.

But now.

Jose realized that as long as Master Lynn desired.

His role as the bow and arrow workshop foreman could be replaced at any time!

As long as Master Lynn was willing to spend some time, he could lead and instruct the apprentices in the workshop himself.

Even more.

Master Lynn's abilities were far above his!

To craft something like the [Zhuge Crossbow], which he had never heard of.

Could archery fire continuously?

While Jose's heart brimmed with emotions.

Lynn continued to forge, one strike after another.

Fortunately, the iron components needed for the crossbow mechanism were not many.

After spending two to three hours hammering, forging, and quenching.

The necessary iron components were finally crafted.

Lynn proceeded to refine the parts further.

The trigger is hook-shaped, with one end connecting to the linkage and the other for finger operation.

The dimensions of the trigger are eight centimeters long, three centimeters wide, and less than two centimeters thick.
