v2 Chapter 586： Christine's Bowmaking Department

It didn't take long before I saw Christine rushing out to meet Habayashi Blood Eagle in person.

Habayashi Xueying and Christine talked and laughed happily, walking towards the back room as they walked.

"When will Christine's first batch of standard military bows come out?" Habayashi Xueying asked.

"The earliest batch was 600 standard military longbows, but it will take at least three months to wait for them to be fully produced. As long as the first batch comes out, the next batch will come out soon, probably Six hundred standard military longbows will come out every ten days." Christine said with a smile.

"Are they all excellent-grade standard military longbows?" Habayashi Xueying asked.

"Yes, they are all excellent grade military longbows." Christine said affirmatively.

Habayashi Xueying stopped and said: "Don't you know how to make sophisticated standard military bows? [UU Reading 00ks] Why don't you make some sophisticated bows?" Habayashi Xueying asked strangely.

"Excellent standard military bow?" Christine said, "It will take at least one and a half to two years to make a blue excellent standard military longbow.

Although the materials it needs are not so precious and rare, except for the wood Xuntland which has enough resources here, even if the other materials are purchased in large quantities, the price is not cheap, and it is not easy to purchase.

At least, this is the case in terms of the Quel'Thalas market, just the materials used to make bowstrings, which are easier to purchase. "Christine is also helpless!

"Bowstring?" Habayashi Blood Eagle was very curious about the material of the bowstring, so he asked curiously, "What material are we using for the bowstring now?"

"The silk imitating the spider produced in the southern part of the Yonge Forest in Quel'Thalas," Christine said while walking, "In fact, the silk of the line-of-defense spider can also be used to make a sophisticated standard military bow, so I chose Say old is better to buy."

"Oh, so it is like this!" Habayashi Xueying said: "So, you still made some excellent military longbows, right?

"Yes, but they are still far from the actual completion time." Christine smiled: "I am currently applying to the Trade Department of the Quel'Danis Council, hoping that they will also purchase from human countries in addition to other materials. The silk of some moss-eating spiders and iron-wire spiders, in order to improve bowstrings."

"Is there any difference between these spider silks?" Habayashi Xueying really didn't understand, so he was not afraid of being laughed at.

"The silk of the thread-spinning spider is relatively soft but more elastic. It is only suitable for making standard military bows below the excellent level. Although it can barely make the standard military bow strings of the excellent level, the effect is not very good, unless it is made of soft ten thousand. We must add some moss-eating spider silk, of course, it would be even better if there is iron thread spider silk." Christine laughed.

"Why?" Habayashi Xueying asked again.

"The silk of moss-eating spiders is relatively hard, and its ductility is not high. The spider silk of iron-thread spiders is even harder, and there is almost no ductility," Christine could only explain to Habayashi Blood Eagle about various bowstrings He said: "The bowstrings made of these kinds of spider silks mixed together, if used in longbows, will make the military long tools produced have very good performance."

"Can you tell me in detail? If you don't reveal the secret of your family's bow making." Habayashi Xueying asked.

"Of course! This is something that most bow makers will know, and it's not really a secret." Christine said with a smile.

He knew that Habayashi Xueying, the city lord, actually knew very little about bow making.

"The soft and ductile bow string can protect the bow body well, and can also improve the use time of the bow, but it is also because its material is soft and elastic, so it is only suitable for making soft bow strings. bow.

Soft bows have the characteristics of fast firing rate and low energy consumption, but the arrows fired from soft bows also have a low initial velocity due to the high elasticity of the bowstring material. And when the arrow is flying in the air, the arrow tail shakes a lot, so it will also lead to a decrease in shooting accuracy.

Therefore, soft bows are generally only suitable for large-scale projectiles in the army. Because the requirements for accuracy were not high at that time, it was only necessary to shoot as many arrows as possible in the shortest time, which was suitable for a large number of ordinary recruits.

A bowstring with low ductility is just the opposite, it is suitable for making hard bows. The arrows shot by hard bows have the characteristics of high muzzle velocity, stable flight status and relatively high penetrating power. Generally, veterans like to use hard bows. In fact, most of the bows above the excellent level also belong to this category. "

"Oh!" Habayashi Xueying nodded.

Of course, he has used quite a few bows, but Habayashi Xueying has never studied in detail the way he talks about them, let alone such a near-professional commentary.

"Spinning spiders, moss-eating spiders, and iron-thread spiders, the silk softness of the three types of spiders decreases in order, and their ductility is the same. Oh, ductility... um... that is. Commonly referred to as elasticity, the spiders of these three types of spiders also decrease in turn.

Therefore, when making all kinds of military bowstrings, different ingredients can be mixed in a certain proportion to make bowstrings suitable for different attribute requirements, especially the bows used by elite ranger troops. Its softness and hardness requirements must be grasped. suitable standard. "Kristen then gave Habayashi Blood Eagle a popular science.

"Spider silk?" Habayashi Xueying thought for a while and said: "I will look for the report you submitted when I go back, and I will approve it as soon as possible. If you need any other materials, please submit them together! I will satisfy you .

I only hope that you can produce more excellent and excellent military longbows. Quel'Thalas is likely to face a big war, so I hope you can produce as many good bows as possible. "

"If that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite!" Christine laughed: "I'll write a material purchase list when I get home at night."

After Habayashi Bloodhawk and Christine entered the room, the two talked for a long time.

The development of Christine's bow-making department can be said to be relatively good, especially in recent months, because many high elf civilians have moved from Quel'Thalas, so Christine's bow-making department has expanded rapidly. Quickly, the scale has expanded several times.

Chris made a plan that after the completion of the fortress in the Quel'Dannis Valley, most of the workers in the bow-making department would move to the various elven villages in the Quel'Dannis Valley.

Because not only can the wood used for making bows be collected nearby, but it is also more convenient to do those processes such as oil soaking and sun exposure that are time-consuming and space-consuming and have a strong smell.
