When all the mories were completely fused, Lynn called Jose over.
He had him stand by, observing and learning.
Lynn began the production of the [Zhuge Crossbow].
The first thing to make is the crossbow’s arm.
Using the toughness and elasticity of mulberry wood makes it perfectly suitable for crafting crossbow arms.
And with an abundance of mulberry trees in the forest outside the town, they can be felled.
However, there is no need to worry about a shortage of raw materials due to large-scale crossbow production later.
The length of the crossbow arm is generally between sixty centiters and one ter.
To enhance the power of the crossbow, Lynn ultimately decided to craft a crossbow arm that is one ter long.
Eight centiters in width and five centiters in thickness.
Once the dinsions of the crossbow arm were determined, Lynn picked up the iron saw and started to process the crossbow arm.
Woo woo woo~
Under the continuous pulling of the short saw in Lynn’s hand, a series of light whimpers continuously resounded.
Behind Lynn.
Jose stood in place, his face full of puzzlent as he looked at Master Lynn.
He is a veteran with decades of experience in producing bows and arrows.
He could vaguely guess that Master Lynn was now processing the bow body.
However, Jose felt sothing was amiss!
So he furrowed his brows, staying put to continue his observation.
Not only Jose.
So idle apprentices also curiously gathered beside Jose.
They originally intended to ask Foreman Jose what was being done.
But when they clearly saw that the person handling the production was their Master Lynn, they hurriedly closed their mouths.
Jose naturally noticed the arrival of the apprentices.
But he did not drive them away to continue their labors.
Under the watchful eyes of Heise and all the apprentices, Lynn finally finished processing the crossbow arm in his hand.
As he picked up the sandpaper and leather on the desk for polishing.
Jose, who had been waiting beside him, couldn’t help but step forward.
With curiosity in his voice, Jose asked, "Master, are you making a bow?"
"As long as it’s not too complicated a longbow, I can make it at your command."
Lynn glanced back at Jose and said, "Crossbow, Zhuge Crossbow."
Hearing Lynn’s calm words, Jose’s brow instantly furrowed.
Crossbow?
Zhuge Crossbow?
What is this thing?
Not to ntion making it.
He’s never even heard this na before.
How to make it?
An embarrassed look appeared on Jose’s face as he stepped back a few paces and joined the apprentices in observation and learning.
Once the crossbow arm was polished, Lynn fixed it on the workbench for the next step: grooving.
He needed to cut a shallow groove on the surface of the crossbow arm along the length, matching the diater of the arrow shaft as an arrow track.
This allows the launched arrow to shoot along a fixed trajectory, ensuring shooting accuracy!
This is one of the processing thods to improve the accuracy of the crossbow’s shooting.
As Lynn used the curved saber to groove the crossbow arm, Jose’s brow furrowed even deeper.
Currently, he could not imagine at all what shape the crossbow that their Master Lynn wanted to make would take.
Ti slowly passed.
In the bow and arrow workshop, a hundred apprentices have already stopped from their assembly line-like posts.
They stood from afar, surrounding Lynn’s workstation.
Ensuring they could see clearly, while not causing air stagnation or stuffiness.
It was naturally Lynn who called them to halt their bow and arrow production.
For longbow production, with Jose in the bow and arrow workshop, guidance for these apprentices could be given at any ti.
But for the current crossbow production, Lynn would only demonstrate once.
Neither Jose nor the apprentices could learn much; it depended on their respective understanding ability and talent.
Of course.
Later, Lynn will also draft detailed blueprints for producing the [Zhuge Crossbow].
For the subsequent large-scale production of crossbows in the bow and arrow workshop!
After more than two hours.
Lynn finally cut a circular shallow groove on the crossbow arm on the workbench.
The grooving process is not considered complex.
However, it tests the power in one’s arm and hand greatly.
Even for Lynn, after two hours, tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lynn didn’t care, extended his arm to wipe it clean, and continued with the next step of production.
The production of crossbows is much easier for a bow and arrow workshop that’s already engaged in longbow production.
Lynn directly walked to the middle of the bow and arrow workshop and picked a longbow body from a pile of pre-bent and shaped bow bodies.
He only needed to reprocess it according to the length of the crossbow arm, trim it to an appropriate length, then he could directly use it as a crossbow bow.
Lynn picked up the leather strips and tal hoops from the desk and began tightly securing the crossbow and crossbow arm.
Ensuring that the crossbow would not loosen or shift during firing.
This is the advantage of having a bow and arrow workshop.
With the most basic bow and arrow workshop, now just making the [Zhuge Crossbow], he could almost directly pick and use various basic materials from the workshop.
If from the very beginning, he started by making the [Zhuge Crossbow].
He would not only need to find materials for the crossbow, but also various small parts for making the crossbow!
Until nightfall.
With several apprentices holding torches for lighting, Lynn finally completed the fixing of the crossbow arm and crossbow on the workbench.
Lynn looked towards the crowd, dismissed the apprentices, allowing them to finish work and eat.
He also stepped out of the workshop.
