Chapter 385 Is this the inner eye? Epic enhancement!
Of course, the repeating crossbow also has its drawbacks.
That is, the previous crossbow bolts were all made of black iron.
They are enormous; a single arrow weighs at least a pound.
In addition, there was an even heavier crossbow arm and quiver.
The entire repeating crossbow weighs at least 50 kilograms.
Those who are too weak will have a hard time even holding the crossbow, let alone aiming.
As is well known, pistol bullets are short, while sniper rifle bullets are long.
The longer the arrow, the greater the kinetic energy required, and the more powerful it is.
However, if these arrows are to be loaded into a quiver and made into a repeating crossbow, the length of the arrows would have to be reduced by at least half.
Furthermore, the tail feathers, which have lost their precision control, will naturally lead to a significant drop in accuracy.
"Don't worry about it, there are gains and losses." Xiao Yu waved his hand with a smile, unconcerned.
When he designed the repeating crossbow, his first consideration was that it should fire in rapid succession.
As for power and accuracy, those can be improved gradually in the future.
With continuous improvement, its power will naturally become stronger and stronger.
Just like the history of the crossbow, the earliest crossbows could only fire a single arrow.
Later, Zhuge Liang invented the repeating crossbow using the lever principle.
Later, the inventor upgraded the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, making it even more powerful and accurate.
"Moreover... this repeating crossbow is currently mainly intended for police superintendents," Xiao Yu said, explaining his original intention in designing the crossbow.
"Police Superintendent? Then there's no problem!" Upon hearing this, the two women suddenly realized.
The city's defense forces faced ferocious beasts with thick hides and powerful enemies.
This first-generation version of the repeating crossbow lacked both power and accuracy.
The effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the city's defense forces is very small, even less than the original crossbows.
However, the situation is completely different for the police superintendents, who face enemies of limited strength.
This repeating crossbow is not as powerful as a crossbow, but it is much more powerful than a hidden arrow.
"By the way, I have some new ideas these past few days," Xiao Yu said, handing a thumb-sized, jet-black cylinder to the two women.
"A new idea?" The two women's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
The city lord is indeed a genius; he has come up with new and ingenious ideas in just two days.
The two women excitedly accepted it and examined it carefully.
"Lord City Lord, what is this?" Dongdong held up a thumb-sized, pitch-black cylinder, looked at it from both ends, and asked with a puzzled expression.
This jet-black cylinder is thicker at one end than the other, about the length of an arm, and has crystal lenses at both ends.
The brown-haired girl was completely baffled; what was this all about?
Xiao Yu explained, "Put the thinner end near your eye, then look into the distance."
"Oh, I'll try." Dongdong nodded and, following Xiao Yu's instructions, placed the thinner end near her left eye, while unconsciously squinting her right eye.
Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "What an amazing thing! It can see things so clearly from so far away? Is this the legendary...clairvoyance?"
Upon hearing this, the older sister, A-Qiu, immediately became very curious and said, "Let me see."
As he spoke, he took the black cylinder from his sister's hand and began to look at it as well.
"Ah!" The girl with shoulder-length short hair suddenly screamed, almost dropping the things in her hands.
Because she had just placed it on her left eye.
Turning my head, I saw a giant eye magnified a hundred times.
That was Xiao Yu.
"Don't aim at me!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand silently, gesturing for the girl to look outside.
"Oh, I'm sorry." A-Qiu apologized, blushing, then pointed at the glowing tree outside the house.
She was instantly startled.
Keep in mind that she is currently more than 100 meters away from the glowing tree.
However, after using this magical device...
You can instantly see the texture of the luminous tree bark.
Every crack is crystal clear!
"Lord City Lord, your invention is amazing!" A Qiu exclaimed in amazement.
She originally thought that after knowing the city lord for so long, she had gotten used to his excellence.
But now, she finds herself still shocked every time she sees the city lord.
Ah Qiu, as if thinking of something, tentatively asked, "Such a magical tool must have been extremely expensive to make, right?"
If this amazing tool could be promoted among the Dragon City defense forces...
The city's garrison's intelligence gathering, target observation, and deployment of operational plans, etc.
All of them will be elevated to a higher level.
However, if the cost is too high, it is impossible to promote it.
"What cost? This is just ordinary crystal lens, called a telescope. The cost is negligible."
Xiao Yu shook his head, a smile in his dark eyes, and explained, "Its working principle is based on optical principles. It mainly uses lenses or mirrors to focus and magnify light, thereby observing distant objects."
Both women were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, standing there in a daze.
Lord City Lord, what exactly are you talking about?
I recognize each character individually, but when they are put together, we don't recognize them.
"Uh, okay, I forgot... physics no longer exists in this world!"
Seeing the two women's reactions, Xiao Yu sighed slightly.
Even the two mechanical genius girls couldn't understand physics at all.
Once the academy has developed further, we must also develop physics and chemistry.
However, these are all things for later; let's not think about them for now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the two women, asking, "You mean, what would happen if I mounted this telescope on my current crossbow?"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the two women's eyes lit up again.
prior to.
The two women didn't examine it closely, but they thought it was amazing and must be very expensive.
I never thought about making it widespread, let alone that it could be installed on a crossbow.
But now, after hearing what the city lord said, the two women instantly imagined a scene.
The city defense troops were already top-notch archers.
Especially the veterans, most of them already had basic archery skills.
Within 100 meters, the hit rate is as high as 50%!
Keep in mind that these crossbows are quasi-divine weapons of the 3rd or 4th tier.
Its effective range is at least over one kilometer.
And the maximum range should be at least 500 meters or more.
Now, let's install this telescope on them.
That way you can aim at enemies from a distance without having to wait for the optimal firing range of 200 meters.
It can be fired directly at its maximum range of 500 meters, and the hit rate will not decrease much!
what is this?
This is an absolutely epic upgrade!
Isn't it much better than a repeating crossbow?
"Lord City Lord!"
The two women looked at Xiao Yu again and couldn't help but exclaim, "You are truly a prodigy! With this telescope, the city's defense forces have not only greatly improved their reconnaissance capabilities, but their combat effectiveness has also increased dramatically."
"If you're satisfied, then you can study the specific details of the telescope installation."
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded. After assigning the tasks, he took out another A3 sheet of paper and said again, "Take a look at my newly researched repeating crossbow and see if it's feasible?"
The two women immediately took the new design drawings out of curiosity, their eyes widening instantly.
The second-generation repeating crossbow was only half the size of the first-generation repeating crossbow.
It is one foot long, and its crossbow bolts are eight inches long, without fletching, and the last four inches are cylindrical.
It looks like an enlarged version of a mechanical revolver.
"Hiss~ It's only been two days, Lord City Lord, and you've already improved the second-generation repeating crossbow?"
"If this repeating crossbow is successfully developed, it will absolutely be a revolutionary weapon!"
