Chapter 53

"Jean, don't have psychological pressure. To be fair, are these jewelry exquisite?" Su Lun picked up a piece of jewelry and said to Jean.

"Yes, these jewels are the most exquisite jewels I have ever seen," gene nodded.

"That's it. We need to give him a reasonable value for such exquisite jewelry," said Su Lun's stall hand.

"As for the jewelry made by real elves, how many people have seen it now?" Su Lun picked up the pair of bracelets shaped like immortal birds and said, "since few people have seen it, what are you worried about?"

"At that time, you will say that it was found in the ruins, and then give a little guidance. With the exquisite degree of these jewelry, those people will naturally believe it."

Why did Suellen have to pull these jewels on the elves? Very simply, because of the price, in the human kingdom, the nobles are very fond of the things left by the elves, so the price of things related to the elves should at least double.

The second wife of his cheap father brought a necklace from her mother's house, which is said to be made by an elf. It is said that this is a wedding gift prepared for her by her father, marquis Osborne. Suellen had seen it several times at that time. To tell the truth, the necklace was really exquisite, but it was just different from the jewelry in his hand.

This is also the reason why he dared to fake the jewelry made by the elves. The elves have returned to the forest of elves for hundreds of thousands of years, and there can be several pieces of jewelry made by the elves, so Su Lun is not worried that it will be torn down.

Gene is really a business minded guy. After su Lun reminded him, he immediately prepared a set of speeches, and then after su Lun filled the gap, he made up a story.

Originally, the price of these exquisite jewelry was more than 1000 jinnars at most. Now with the blessing of the spirit background, it can be sold for at least 5000 jinnars.

Five thousand jinnars, all of which were purchased as grain, enough to support his territory through the cold winter.

After discussing with Jean, Suellen asked him to go back and prepare. The caravan set out in these days. This time, Suellen, the escort of the caravan, was going to let half of the new barbarians go, and Johnson took half of them there, so that these new barbarians could grow up as soon as possible after several battles.

With Johnson veterans, Suellen doesn't have to worry about the losses of the new barbarians. The goblins, dog headed people, jackals and other things encountered along the way almost upgraded after a few strokes.

After dealing with the matter, sulun began to deal with another crisis facing the territory.

Under normal circumstances, the frost pterosaur will not attack humans, because the risk of attacking humans is higher than the prey of bison, giant horned deer and spotted antelope on the wasteland, so it is safe here for the time being, but after winter, there are few animal activities on the wasteland, and the frost pterosaur is likely to attack humans without sufficient prey.

Sulun can't trust the security of his territory on whether the frost pterosaur will attack, so the best way is to make a crossbow.

Before that, Su Lun had made a crossbow and was very familiar with the structure of the crossbow. More importantly, he later obtained mechanical control and a lot of mechanical knowledge, and had some improvement methods for this kind of crossbow.

There are also crossbows in this world. They are called bed crossbow, giant crossbow and other different names. In fact, they are all one kind of things. The structure of the crossbow is complex and the operation is very inconvenient. A crossbow needs eight to ten people to complete the operation.

The range of the crossbow can reach up to kilometers, but this distance has no power for a long time, let alone accuracy. In fact, the effective range of the crossbow is between 400 and 600. Of course, accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

This kind of crossbow is powerful. Using a two meter long javelin as a weapon, it can shoot into the rammed earth wall within 400 meters. Even the brick wall can go deeper than a foot. Even if the ice pterosaur is shot by this kind of crossbow, it can't be good. However, although this weapon is powerful, it also has many disadvantages.

First of all, the stringing speed is slow. When stringing, it needs the cooperation of several strong men with big arms and round waist. Second, the accuracy is low. Basically, after more than 200 meters, the crossbow and arrow have no accuracy. Third, it is difficult to carry and the crossbow is heavy. Generally, it is fixed on the city wall.

Fourth, it is difficult to maintain. The bowstring used in the crossbow is specially made. It is best to use the tendons of some high-level Warcraft. However, this kind of tendons is too few and expensive. Therefore, most crossbows use specially processed ox tendons. The number and ox tendons are wound into one, and silk and steel wires are added at the same time. The service life of the bowstring made in this way is short, Basically, the bowstring needs to be replaced six or seven times.

In addition, there are some other shortcomings. After sulun's transformation, although these defects have not been solved completely, they have also been improved a lot. The most obvious one is that the speed of the upper chord is accelerated, and the pulley block and lever are used in the upper chord. The operation of the crossbow is also much easier.

At the same time, the crossbow uses refined steel as components, which makes maintenance easier and service life longer. Of course, it is not all good. In this way, the weight of the crossbow increases again.

Su Lun divided the design drawings of the crossbow into various parts, and then asked the blacksmith shop to make them respectively according to the drawings. Finally, he personally assembled all the parts. In this way, he is still the only one who knows the manufacturing process of the crossbow. The bowstring of the crossbow car uses the main tendon of the angry wind demon tiger.

After special processing, a total of 16 bowstrings were made for the main reinforcement of more than 20 meters. This time, Su Lun is going to make eight crossbow carts, of which eight bowstrings are directly installed, and the rest are reserved for standby.

Eight crossbow carts were placed around the town. Sulun specially built eight high platforms in the city to install these crossbow carts. With these eight crossbow carts, even if the ice pterosaur came to attack, it should be carefully considered.

The construction of the territory is still proceeding in an orderly manner. The first batch of iron ore mined in the mine is also transported to the port by water. Although the boat speed is very slow against the current and the boatman needs to paddle at the same time, even so, it is much faster than land transportation.

Suellen knew exactly what the road was like in the wilderness. In contrast, the ore transported by ships at one time is more than ten times that of carriages.

After the ship landed, the goblin slaves who had been waiting here for a long time began to load and unload the ore, which would then be sent to the blacksmith's blast furnace. At most, the day after tomorrow, the ironware produced by the first batch of mine iron ore will be baked.
