Our Apartment Complex Transmigrated… Again Chapter 228: A Miniature Vehicle-Mounted Crossbow?

On the other side, with the embedding of the Level 5 Curio, the Earth Spirit Source Stone, the previously sowhat strained output of the Iron Mine exploded.

Iron ingots processed by the Lava Fortress were transported in large quantities to the Yanwu Military Arsenal.

Spears, throwing spears, lallar armor, vehicle-mounted crossbows.

At the sa ti, inside the Ingenious Devices Workshop, Li Yue was in discussion with five people around him.

These five were all newcors who had recently joined the Qin Alliance, and all were older than Li Yue.

Among the five, so were engaged in majors related to chanical design, manufacturing, and automation. Others, like Li Yue, were in Materials Engineering. There was also a fitter.

The group argued fiercely, faces flushed red, over how to shrink the vehicle-mounted crossbow into a portable arm crossbow usable by a single person.

"Your plan won't work! The size is reduced, the accuracy might be okay, but the power is insufficient! Haven't you seen the archery skills of the Hunting Team mbers? Every one of them has decent accuracy. In the ti it takes your arm crossbow to fire one bolt, others could shoot several arrows!"

"Then your design has problems too! Fifty or sixty jin heavy! Who the hell can carry a fifty or sixty jin arm crossbow around everywhere? Do you think they're all supern?!"

Soone lanted, "Ah, it's a sha. I don't know why, but we can't make gunpowder. We purified so saltpeter, mixed it according to the one sulfur, two saltpeter, three charcoal ratio, but it just wouldn't explode no matter what."

"I think the key point is correct. The power must be great. What they're dealing with now are large-bodied beasts. If the lethality is too light, it's just like tickling the beast."

"Isn't there the vehicle-mounted crossbow? Wasn't the original intention of making an arm crossbow to create a convenient, portable, small vehicle-mounted crossbow?"

"Right! But the premise is a small vehicle-mounted crossbow, not a small tickling needle!"

"But the problem is, the current tal strength can only achieve this level. There has to be a trade-off between weight and killing power."

Li Yue spoke up, "I have an idea. I rember seeing online before that during the Song Dynasty, the Divine Arm Crossbow had great power. It was very hard to draw by hand, so they used foot pedals to tension the string, using core abdominal strength to open the crossbow. Couldn't we consider sothing like that? Moreover, after so of them break through to Superhuman, their strength skyrockets. I estimate drawing it by hand wouldn't be a problem either."

"Can the current tal level achieve that?"

"It should be achievable. I made a bow arm and tested it; firing it isn't the problem. The main issue is overall stability."

As everyone was discussing, a person walked in from outside the door.

"Captain!" Li Yue's eyes lit up, and he imdiately said happily.

"Guild Leader." "Guild Leader." The others called out one after another.

Qin Ziwen asked, "I just heard you discussing so Divine Arm Crossbow outside the door. Planning to make a crossbow?"

Li Yue nodded, "Yes. We want to make a high-powered crossbow for individual soldiers, single-person use, or two-person cooperation, sothing that can be conveniently carried and used at any ti in the wild."

"That's a good idea. Power is the main thing," Qin Ziwen said.

The vehicle-mounted crossbow is good, but it also has limitations. Although it has wheels installed, if the terrain is too complex, it's still not convenient to carry.

If a more conveniently portable crossbow could appear, it would be a very good choice.

Coming out of the Ingenious Devices Workshop, Qin Ziwen heard commotion coming from the nearby Ho.

The crowd was sowhat panicked. From the other side of the node, Chitu was proudly leading eight mares, strutting out from the other side of the node.

Arriving in an unfamiliar place, the mares were nervous, especially with the constantly moving humans around, making them pace back and forth, emitting constant whinnies.

Although Chitu was trying its best to soothe them, the effect didn't seem very good.

Until the Crowned Eagle, hearing the commotion, flapped its wings and flew over.

Instant silence.

The mares huddled together, wanting to hide behind Chitu.

But because there were too many of them, they ended up forming a circle, trapping Chitu right in the middle.

Chitu: "..."

The Crowned Eagle swept a faint glance over the group of mares below. Wherever its gaze passed, the mares that t its eyes all lowered their heads.

After watching quietly for a while, the Crowned Eagle said nothing and simply flew away.

Only after it left did the mares relax, but they also didn't whinny as noisily as before.

Chitu stared at its good brother's retreating figure, its eyes practically turning red.

It wanted to learn that too!

Qin Ziwen looked at Chitu's figure, lost in thought.

Right now, Chitu is an ordinary animal. Even if it mates with the wild mares, the resulting foals would just be ordinary horses.

But if it beca a Superhuman horse, then would the foals it produced still be ordinary horses?

This was a question worth pondering deeply.

Currently, he, Du Yu, and the Crowned Eagle couldn't verify this question in a short ti.

Only Chitu might be able to provide an answer in this regard.

Should he take advantage of the last two days and let Chitu try to make a breakthrough too?

The current Gobi Desert map could be considered cleared.

However, making Chitu go fight seed sowhat like forcing a horse to do the impossible.

You couldn't exactly expect it to bite a Hadrosaur to death.

For breakthrough tasks of herbivorous animals like this, would there be a difference?

After thinking for a mont, Qin Ziwen took out the dark golden Breakthrough Card, aid it at Chitu, and chose to use it.

The Breakthrough Card transford into countless dark golden rays of light enveloping it.

[Please select a Superhuman path for Recruit · Ordinary? Mongolian Horse]

[First-tier: Wind Chaser (Please run over 200 kiloters daily for the next seven days, sustained for seven days)]

[Second-tier: Breeder (Please, within the next three days, complete mating with a Superhuman creature and successfully impregnate the target)]

[Third-tier: Hooves of Victory (While carrying a rider, cooperate to successfully defeat a Superhuman creature whose weight is not less than the combined weight of both, with zero damage received by both yourself and the rider. Ti limit: half a month)]

The second-tier and third-tier...

The second-tier was out of the question.

Finding a Superhuman creature that could get pregnant within three days was almost impossible.

As for the third-tier, Qin Ziwen sighed inwardly. Chitu's task ca too late.

But then another thought struck him. It said 'cooperate with the rider to defeat.' If a third party intervened, it might not et the requirents.

So, hunting the Giant Rock Dragon might not necessarily satisfy the conditions either.

Qin Ziwen stared at the words 'rider,' and a thought suddenly popped into his head.

This 'rider'... doesn't seem to strictly specify that it must be a human, right?

If he let the Crowned Eagle ride Chitu, and then the Crowned Eagle went to hunt a Superhuman creature, could it carry Chitu to complete the task?

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Ziwen felt the potential for manipulation was quite high.

As for the first-tier task, with the Healing Spring available to eliminate fatigue, it was almost a guaranteed success.

But the first-tier offered the weakest improvent.

Just choosing the first-tier like that... he was also sowhat unwilling. Qin Ziwen looked at Chitu.

No, this is Chitu's breakthrough to Superhuman. Let it decide for itself.

After listening to the three options, Chitu stood there dumbfounded, looking foolish.

Only after Qin Ziwen reminded it repeatedly did it snap out of its daze, letting out three long whinnies.

"Good! Ambitious!" Qin Ziwen praised loudly.

After its master walked far away, Chitu turned its head angrily. That damned eagle! It secretly pinched its butt three tis just now!
