Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 337: While showing off, the matter was settled!
With the leader Zhou Xu personally giving the order, the villagers quickly brought a horse.

"Thank you."

After taking the reins and thanking Zhou Xu again, Silk rode the horse and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Chief, what will happen if Silk comes back?"

After learning about the situation here, Ye Jinghong immediately followed him. After watching Silke leave, he turned around and asked Zhou Xu for instructions.

"Proper placement."

Zhou Xu gave the answer directly.

"With Silk here, the other grassland elves left here can be commanded."

"Yes!"

This small episode delayed Zhou Xu a lot of time. After a few casual instructions to Ye Jinghong, he stopped dawdling and rode away quickly.

Although the war horse is fully capable of running on the snow, he did not dare to let the horse run too fast in the snowy wilderness. By the time he arrived at Black Moon Village, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Black Moon Village is not far from Prairie Village. Now that it is snowing in Prairie Village, the weather in Black Moon Village has undoubtedly been affected, with snowflakes floating all over the sky.

But the snow intensity is a little less than that on the grassland.

After turning over and dismounting, and handing the reins to the person next to him, Zhou Xu turned to look at the village chief Zhang Xiaoshan who came out.

"Send another batch of supplies to Prairie Village, and set off as quickly as possible to try to deliver them today!"

Judging from the current situation, the grassland elves may have to rely on them to feed themselves this winter. At the same time, considering some unexpected situations that may occur later, there is no guarantee that the supplies in the grassland village will be insufficient.

At this moment, Zhou Xu was afraid that if he moved too slowly, the grassland area would be blocked by the snowstorm, so it would be safer to send another batch of supplies quickly.

After entering the village and giving instructions on this matter, Zhou Xu walked towards the equipment department without stopping and found Zhuang Mengdie who was busy at that time.

"Mengdie, what do you think of the design drawings I asked the messenger to send a few days ago?"

"I have seen it, but some of the designs inside need to be discussed with you, the leader, before I can confirm it."

After all, it is a new piece of equipment. It has never been made before, and according to Zhuang Mengdie's temperament, he does not dare to talk too much about it.

Zhou Xu nodded after hearing this, and then walked to the conference table next to the department with Zhuang Mengdie and spread out the design drawings to discuss.

I saw that the equipment drawn on the design drawing at this time was exactly a bed crossbow!
Although Zhou Xu had known about bed crossbows for a long time, in this world, Zhuang Mengdie proposed the concept of bed crossbows before him.

At that time, Zhou Xu asked Zhuang Mengdie to develop and make bows and arrows with longer range and stronger power. As a result, her imagination opened up and she wanted to build a huge bow.

What should I do if this huge bow cannot be picked up or used by normal people?
Then install the bow on a wooden cart and use the wooden cart as a bracket for the bow to push it around.

To put it simply, isn't this thing just a bed crossbow?

However, Zhou Xu believed that even if the bed crossbow was made with a lot of time and effort, it might not be of much use according to the environment at that time.

In this way, this project has been shelved until the giant beast Ankylosaurus appeared!

According to their human fighting methods, if they want to deal with that kind of big guy, then they have to use some 'big guys'!
The manufacture of bed crossbows has undoubtedly become the most suitable choice.Facing a target that moves slowly and is as big as a bus, it shouldn't be that difficult to hit it with a bed crossbow.

There was a reason why Zhuang Mengdie didn't dare to speak too fully before.

Compared with the design he had come up with in a flash of inspiration, their leader's plan was obviously much more complicated.

It was originally just a simple additive design of a giant bow paired with a wooden cart. The idea was very rough, but when it came to their leader, it turned into a three-piece combination bow.

In addition, the design of the wooden cart used to support the giant bow has obviously become more complicated.

How dare Zhuang Mengdie say that he understood?
After the discussion began, Zhuang Mengdie was not ambiguous at all. He pointed at the designs and began to ask questions one by one.

Zhuang Mengdie can actually understand why their leader added three bows. This design is just for greater power and longer attack range, but the problem is...

"Chief, if it is designed like this, I feel that it will be difficult for us to open this 'Bed Crossbow'."

During the discussion, Zhuang Mengdie had already used this new term quite skillfully.

In her opinion, it is already difficult to fire a bed crossbow with a single bow. How about matching it with three giant bows?Who can pull this away?

"Don't just think about relying on manpower to pull this bed crossbow. This idea itself is unrealistic. If you open up your mind, we can add a pulley set inside."

Zhuang Mengdie is undoubtedly familiar with pulleys. In their lives, pulleys have long been widely used.

"That's it, I understand!"

Zhou Xu's words directly woke her up. Zhuang Mengdie, who clearly wanted to understand something at this moment, couldn't help but become excited. She looked at Zhou Xu with unabashed admiration in her eyes.

Seeing Zhuang Mengdie's appearance, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.

That’s what’s so good about professionals with high IQs. They are very smart in their own professional fields.

Sometimes, for some complex technologies, you may not particularly understand how to operate them, but you only have a general understanding.

But you only need to tell them this general idea, and with their clever minds, you can quickly turn around.

Let you get things done while pretending to be cool!
"Look here, there are two wheels designed on both sides of the bed crossbow base, one on each side is linked to the pulley group. During use, soldiers can be arranged separately to rotate these two wheels, and they can use the pulley group to move relatively easily. Turn on the bed crossbow.”

Listening to their leader's subsequent explanation, Zhuang Mengdie stood aside and marveled.

In Zhuang Mengdie's opinion, this is simply a genius idea!
"Chief, what are the two brackets at the bottom used for?"

"This is used to fix the bed crossbow. When the three-bow bed crossbow fires the crossbow, the recoil will definitely be very strong. If this problem cannot be solved, then the bed crossbow will not be stable, and the fired crossbow arrows will also be affected. If it loses its accuracy, it may even topple over on the spot when launching an attack.”

Pointing to the design at the bottom, Zhou Xu quickly told Zhuang Mengdie his thoughts.

"These two brackets can be stowed away during the movement of the bed crossbow. After arriving at the designated location, they can be put down. The bottom ends are directly inserted into the ground to offset the attack of the bed crossbow through the support of the ground. The recoil force produced."
