Chapter 260 Weapons
He Chuan's heart was beating wildly. He gasped for breath and slumped down on the ground. He was getting closer and closer to the target point, and there were more and more traps in the dense forest. If he made the slightest mistake, he might be doomed.
After staying in place for a moment, He Chuan continued to stand up. He had no way out. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, he had to go for it...
…
A simple wooden frame appeared in front of Lu Yan. It was only about three meters high and looked extremely fragile. In front of the wooden frame, there was a large amount of chopped wood piled up like a hill.
He took a deep breath, activated the upgrade system, and looked at the simple wooden frame again.
The next second, two upgrade directions appeared in his sight again.
[The simple wooden frame is so weak that it cannot even withstand the weight of thirty kilograms. It seems to have no function other than lighting it for heating! 】
[Upgrade direction one: reinforcement and heightening, specific data can be entered manually! Upgrade survival point consumption changes based on input data! 】
[Upgrade direction two: Change the image, add beauty, and transform it into a work of art, which is pleasing to the eye! It costs 15 survival points! 】
Lu Yan looked at the two options and naturally chose the upgrade direction one without hesitation. After entering the corresponding numbers in the pop-up data input box, the corresponding survival point consumption prompt immediately popped up.
[Increasing the height of the wooden frame to 16 meters and increasing its stability to a level eight wind resistance requires consuming wood... iron... and 13 survival points! 】
Upgrading a rickety and weak wooden frame to a level that can withstand level 8 winds will definitely consume a lot of time and materials if you rely solely on manpower. Even if you use system upgrades, you will still need a lot of survival points.
At this time, Lu Yan has prepared a lot of wood and steel. The most indispensable thing in the jungle is trees. With the blessing of materials, the consumption of survival points will naturally be reduced by more than half...
As the light flashed, a tall watchtower rose up in front of Lu Yan. He raised his head and glanced at the top. The system seemed to have guessed the purpose of his upgraded wooden frame, and thoughtfully built a wooden awning on the top. .
Lu Yan quickly climbed to the top of the watchtower, and saw that the entire camp and even the scenes within a few kilometers outside the camp were all in his eyes. With it, he could observe all the changes in the surrounding jungle without leaving the camp!
It can be said that after having the watchtower,
It is equivalent to having intelligence rights.
Moreover, this watchtower is located on the dangerous mountain wall behind the camp, so although it is not very tall, it is nearly 100 meters high on the mountain wall itself. Adding it together, its height is almost the same as the height of the mountain wall itself. Lin's commanding heights!
Lu Yan looked at the mountains and forests in the distance. The role of the watchtower was not only to detect enemy situations, it could also be used to identify terrain, find water sources, special fruit trees, etc...
Although there was a video surveillance device in Luyan's previous underground shelter, the range it could monitor was too small and could not even cover the entire camp, let alone monitor and alert outside the camp.
"The watchtower has been built, next is the arrow tower..." Lu Yan looked around the camp. Considering the current area of the camp, only this watchtower can fully monitor it. Unless it continues to expand outwards in the future, otherwise A watchtower is sufficient for monitoring needs.
The next thing to build is the top priority.
Weapon system!
Whether it is a simple shelter or a more complex camp, weapons or defense power are the most important, otherwise the fully functional camp that you have worked so hard to build will be easily taken away by others.
Isn’t there a saying that hoards guns but not food? There are granaries everywhere!
In a land without law, it is important to build and develop your own camp, but how to maintain it is even more important.
After working so hard to make wedding clothes for others, Lu Yan definitely didn't want it to happen to him.
"The crossbows and flintlock guns in the previous shelter are all detachable. They can be removed and assembled in the new camp... Calculating this, I still need to make twelve crossbows and six flintlocks. guns, as well as two crossbows and two catapults..." Lu Yan looked at the design and touched his chin. He had already made crossbows and flintlock guns, and they were small weapons, while the crossbows and catapults were It’s different.
The bed crossbow generally refers to the three-bow bed crossbow. This is a large-scale siege equipment originating from the Song Dynasty of China. It uses three giant bows to jointly exert force. When winding, several strong men need to twist the ropes and use pulleys to wind the string. , and its power is well-deservedly powerful. The arrows used by this bed crossbow are two meters long. After being fired, they are enough to penetrate into the city wall made of bluestone, and the range also reaches an extremely terrifying 1,500 meters!
Khitan general Xiao Talin once led his army to besiege Chanzhou in the Song Dynasty, but he was shot to death by this crossbow from a thousand meters away!
In the age of cold weapons... no, even in the nascent stage of hot weapons, this bed crossbow can definitely be ranked high in terms of lethality and range.
As for the catapult... this is also an extremely powerful weapon for attacking and defending the city. Although its characteristics determine that its accuracy is far inferior to that of the bed crossbow, it can throw burning objects and broken stones. It can be regarded as a kind of weapon. Range attack weapons are also indispensable!
