v2 Chapter 150: Magic trebuchet (1/2)
Just as everyone was eagerly awaiting Xu’s published books and the college he founded, Xu also quietly came to Anweimar City again.
This time, he did not go to see anyone, and found Major Macquarie directly at the Military Logistics Agency.
”Hey, Xu Huichang, I heard that you went to the Principality of Stading?” Major Macquarie saw Xu Yi and immediately asked with a smile. ”How do you feel about this Principality of Constantine? Do you think that this Principality has not been saved?”
Upon hearing this question, Xu also suddenly understood that it was not only his own understanding of the laziness of the people of the Principality of Constantine and the greed of the upper class. It seems that this is simply a consensus of a bunch of people.
”It’s not impossible to save it at all, but...” Xu shrugged and smiled bitterly: ”It’s really hard to do something over there.”
Maiconli laughed and patted Xu Yi’s shoulder: “I want to do something real or do it in our Kingdom of Lampari. Especially if you are so capable, you should not go to Stan. Ding Gongguo wastes time in this place.”
Xu also glanced at him and thought that if the Kingdom of Lampari was a vast empire with a vast territory and abundant resources like the Marlow Empire and the Candela Empire, he would also like to develop well in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, the Kingdom of Lampari is, after all, a small country on the mainland of Sainz. Domestic resources are not particularly rich, and most of them have long been divided by the great aristocrats in the kingdom. Xu Yihe and Xinfei The newly-opened Chamber of Commerce of the Chamber of Commerce did not have the possibility to step in.
It is like the cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Joseph family. If he is in accordance with Xu’s true wishes, he certainly hopes to be able to take the non-ferrous metal mining resources in the Kingdom of Lampari in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. But he is very clear that the Joseph family will never be so generous. Therefore, only ways of providing technical cooperation can be adopted. The priority supply of these resources is obtained from the Joseph family.
As a person who has passed through the earth, Xu is also very aware of the importance of controlling these resources.
There is no hope in the Kingdom of Lampari for the time being, and Xu’s eyes must of course be placed elsewhere.
The reason why I would rather choose to mine the non-ferrous metal veins under the eyes of the orcs in the black rice wilderness, or even run out of the Lampari Kingdom and go to the Principality of Constantine to buy three mines, even if this time I found the Principality of Constantine. There is no such thing as a big deal, including Steining, and Xu has not given up. The reason is that these resources in these two places are well grasped. It is very likely that you will be completely in your hands.
Being able to control the most important energy issues in your own hands is worthwhile even if you pay some price.
Of course, if you want to do this, you must first solve a very important problem.
Xu also gave a look to Major McKelly. Major McKelly immediately took a look and looked around and took Xu to his own secret room on the inside of the office.
”Is it so fast?” Just after closing the door, Major McKelly immediately looked at Xu Yi with excitement.
Xu also smiled and took a stack of drawings from the carrying bag and handed it to Major McKelly.
Major McKelly took over quickly and could not attend to the greeting. I started to flip through it.
After seeing two eyes, Major McKelly’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter. Wait until the end, full of joy and excitement.
After reading the last page, Major McKelly slammed his fist on his lap and laughed.
”Great! Great! If you can use this magic trebuchet, then our army's combat power will increase too much!”
Xu Yi smiled: ”Of course. Although there is no specific test, but this magic trebuchet is made of new steel, the power is also strong enough, in theory, the maximum throwing weight can even reach one ton! And does not need to be like traditional wood The trebuchet will be re-adjusted for a long time every time it is launched. According to our current preliminary settings, the re-adjustment time after each launch will not exceed half a minute.”
”That is, as long as the stone is fast enough, you can even launch two large stones in one minute?” Major McKelly asked with wide eyes.
”Yes.” Xu also nodded slightly. ”In addition, this is just the first version of the magic trebuchet. If it wasn't for you so urgent, I would have liked to wait until the new version of the continuation of the magic trebuchet was developed.”
”Lianfa magic trebuchet?” Major McKelly had a brighter look. “Can it be launched continuously?”
”Almost. It is specifically that the magic trebuchet can complete the entire process of filling stones, launching, adjusting, and then filling the stones, and the soldiers responsible for the magic trebuchet only need to put the stones prepared in advance into the ammunition. It’s ok in the box.”
”Ammunition box?” Major McKelly frowned and thought about it. “Is it a box dedicated to stone?”
”Well. The reason why I will call this ammunition box is because in my opinion, the stone of the trebuchet is its ammunition.” When it came to this, Xu also paused, and his face passed a long, deep smile. . ”In fact, if you really want to say something, this kind of stone is not really an ammunition...”
Major McKelly had a sigh of relief and wanted to ask, but Xu also obviously did not talk about this topic. After thinking about it, he continued to ask questions about this magic trebuchet.
