Chapter 548 Malfunction?

A three-bow crossbow failed.

Luo Ji did not comment much on this.

Instead, it signaled the goblins to continue their salvo.

On the battlefield, the offensive cannot be stopped because of the failure of a three-bow crossbow.

The result came just as the sixth salvo was fired.

Another three-bow crossbow lost its ability to attack because the bracket broke.

There were more and more beads of sweat on Jiang Zhan's forehead.

On the other hand, Luo Ji still had that calm expression on his face.

Immediately after the ninth round of salvo, a three-bow crossbow almost completely fell apart because it could not bear the burden.

At the same time, in the process of falling apart, several goblins who were operating the three-bow crossbow were injured.

This time the test.

Luo Ji fired a total of twenty salvos.

After the end, six of the ten three-bow crossbows failed.

Those with lesser faults can be simply repaired and can be put back into the war soon.

As for the serious fault, it fell apart directly.

The remaining four were quite strong.

Let Luo Ji fully realize the probability of this failure, and it really has to be seen.

At this moment, Jiang Zhan's heart was extremely anxious.

For fear that Luo Ji would be dissatisfied with this result.

But the truth is, Luo Ji thinks it's okay.

Because in a normal siege battle.

It is impossible for siege equipment to have twenty rounds of attack opportunities.

Ten rounds of attack is too much.

Unless the opposing player can't defend.

Otherwise, there would be no ten rounds at all.

The enemy's infantry and cavalry units will be killed.

The reason why Luo Ji let them carry out twenty rounds of attacks this time.

Simply because it was an experiment.

He simply encouraged Jiang Zhan with a few words.

And after rewarding it with some money.

Luo Ji pondered in his heart again, and then spoke again...

"Anyway, let's build ten more of this fragile version of the three-bow crossbow and catapult. After that, you can help the people in the Ordnance Production Department make the normal version of the hand crossbow."

Luo Ji was decisively obsessed with his own crossbow troops.

While subduing the goblin civilization, he also captured a lot of hand crossbows.

However, those hand crossbows are basically blessed with 'Goblin Technology' BUFF.

And what he needs now is the normal version of the hand crossbow.

'Goblin technology' is a double-edged sword.

With good use, he can make and send a large number of ordnance and crossbow troops with low prices and costs, and instantly overwhelm the opponent with absolute numbers.

Just like Gawain has always done before.

But once the bad luck happens, the equipment in the hand frequently breaks down.

That would make people unhappy.

So, Luo Ji had an idea in his heart.

That is to bring some vulnerable version of ordnance and normal version of ordnance, and determine a relatively stable ratio.

For example, the normal three-bow crossbow carries three, while the vulnerable version of the three-bow crossbow carries seven.

In this way, out of ten three-bow crossbows, at least three of them can be guaranteed to be reliable.

And in the seven that are not very reliable.

Even if it is unlucky to directly fail half.

He also has at least five or six three-bow crossbows that can be used.

The same is true for the crossbowmen.

One thousand crossbowmen troops, five hundred crossbowmen use the normal version, and five hundred crossbowmen use the vulnerable version.

While taking certain risks, it can also ensure a part of stable combat power.

This can be said to be a relatively safe approach.

Of course, the level of goblin technology has to be raised quickly.

The probability of this failure is better to be pulled as low as possible.

Just when Luo Ji was thinking about it.

Ye Xuan, who was still researching those vulnerable three-bow crossbows just a moment ago.

In the next moment, he ran over quickly.

"Your Majesty, I also brought a new weapon to test this time, do you want to see it?"

"New weapon?"

Hearing this, Luo Ji raised his brows slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really didn't know what Ye Xuan was researching recently...

At the same time, Ye Xuan said these words.

The craftsmen of the Ordnance Department and Jiang Zhan who were about to leave also stopped at this moment.

Jiang Zhan, whose test results were not very satisfactory just now.

It's just a posture of wanting to see what new achievements the human side can come up with.

Luo Ji was also very curious about this.

So it is quite straightforward to say...

"Okay, if you have any new weapons, take them out quickly."

The Ordnance Research Department's side was clearly well prepared, just waiting for Luo Ji's words.

After getting Luo Ji's permission.

As the deputy minister, Zhao Lei quickly instructed the members of the department and moved out the props prepared in advance.

I saw them in order to increase the demonstration effect of the new weapon.

It even deliberately simulated the phalanx on the battlefield, and made scarecrows in soldier costumes.

At a glance, there are hundreds of them.

The battle was pretty big.

Let everyone's hearts are raised a little bit of anticipation.

As for Luo Ji, who was sitting there, a thought flashed in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, a three-bow crossbow made by the Ordnance Manufacturing Department was pushed up.

The distance was quite far, so Luo Ji couldn't see it clearly for a while.

However, looking at this posture, it is obvious that the three-bow crossbow has been improved to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty, can we begin?"

Zhao Lei asked with a red face, obviously full of confidence in the new weapon.

"let's start."

After Luo Ji nodded.

With the issuance of the demonstration order, the members of the department responsible for operating the three-bow crossbow in the distance immediately moved their hands.

This ordnance weapon is basically from the hands of members of the research department and the production department.

So they are not soldiers with formal training though.

But these three-bow crossbows are operated one by one, and they are also quite proficient.

It didn't take long.

With a humming sound, the three-bow crossbow in the distance has already fired.

The curious eyes of everyone followed the flying heavy crossbow arrows and quickly fell to the scarecrow square in the distance.

As a result, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred!

I saw that the heavy crossbow arrow flying in the air actually cracked with a 'bang'.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhan almost laughed out loud.

It's just that there is something wrong with the new weapon researched by the Human Ordnance Department.

In the development and production of new weapons.

Failures and failures are normal.

But this failed scene was seen by His Majesty the Emperor.

Not so good.

However, just when Jiang Zhan thought so.

Thoughts have not had time to completely fall.

The unexpected situation happened again!

I saw that the inside of the cracked heavy crossbow arrow was like a goddess scattered flowers, and a large number of smaller arrows flew out in the blink of an eye.

In just one breath, a small rain of arrows was formed in the air!

Then mercilessly swept the scarecrow square below!
