  Chapter 236 The Power of the Catapult (for subscription)

  Just as the elves were discussing how to deal with the situation in front of them, an elf hero suddenly stood up.

   "Not good, flash everyone."

   But it was too late. When the elf fled outwards, there was a whistling sound in the sky.

  Even heroes have heard this sound, it is the sound made by the weight thrown by the catapult as it flies through the air.

   From the sound, it can be heard that this catapult is quite big.

  Elf heroes couldn’t do anything else, but they reacted very quickly, and they ran out quickly.

  I want to take my men back to a safe place.

  But when they rushed out of the meeting place, they saw a huge hollow steel ball with a diameter of about six meters falling from the sky.

  The iron ball hit the ground with green flames, creating a large flame pit with a radius of 50 meters.

  The most terrible thing is that after the iron ball fell down, it bounced two more.

   Every blow can create a big hole of more than ten meters.

   At the last touch, the iron ball just rolled forward for about sixty meters.

  All the elves along the way were sucked in and turned into crushed meat.

  When the iron ball rolled to the end, the entire sphere turned bright green, and finally with a loud bang, the sphere exploded into fragments, and countless palm-sized fragments flew around, cutting into the elf's body.

  After everything was over, the camp that the elves had just set up had been blown up into disarray.

  The elf heroes cleaned up the scene, and they found out speechlessly that at least two hundred elves were killed in the blow just now.

  The worst deaths here are those elf mages.

  They are not as fast as other elves, and coupled with the protection of elf mages, they usually live in the middle of the camp.

   This is exactly where the iron ball fell.

  Most of the elf mages were swept to death on the spot, and most of the survivors could not afford serious injuries.

  At the same time, an elf hero didn't have time to escape, and happened to be hit by the first fall of the iron ball, becoming the fastest one among these elf heroes.

  Looking at such a loss, the elf heroes silently moved the camp out by nearly thirty miles.

   Only then can we discuss the next thing with peace of mind.

   On Chen Wei's side, he also saw the situation of the elf camp, and he was quite satisfied with the newly repaired catapult.

   After all, with an attack range of 20,000 meters, it can hit almost any place on the edge of the forest.

  The elves have now withdrawn for thirty miles. If they hadn't withdrawn, Chen Wei wanted to give them another shot.

  Standing next to the catapult, Chen Gu watched as the five Roshan madmen lifted the iron ball bombs down again, and the lava dwarf removed several activation accessories of the catapult, turning the catapult from the activated state to the standby state.

   According to the lava dwarves, if the catapult is not used all the time, it is best to leave it on standby.

  In this way, the mechanical arm of the catapult will not be in a tight state all the time, and it will not be so easy to break.

   But Chen Wei is not concerned about this now, he is thinking about another thing at this time.

   "How often can we make a catapult like this now?"

"This is a movable catapult with a relatively short range, so it is relatively simple to make. At the speed of our current arsenal, one can be made in about ten days. When you become proficient in the future, you can make one in seven days. tower."

   "Mobile, the range is relatively short? Is that a fixed slingshot, and the range can be farther?"

  Chen Wei immediately understood the meaning of the lava dwarf's words.

"Yes, but it's not far away. We can make a giant catapult that throws 50,000 meters at most, but the accuracy of that kind of catapult will be quite low. The attack deviation of 50,000 meters will have 200,000 meters. about meters."

   "I didn't let you hit a person at a distance of 50,000 meters. Isn't the catapult just for attacking in a large area?"

  Chen Wei smiled and said, "How long would it take to make a fixed catapult?"

   "My lord, this kind of fixed catapult is troublesome. You need to find a suitable place to lay the foundation, and you need to transport all kinds of materials, and you have to adjust the strength of the materials according to the different conditions of each place.

   Adding up all these sevens and eights, it is impossible to build such a catapult in one month. "

  Chen Wei thought for a while and asked again: "What about the power?"

   "The power is naturally quite large. After all, the distance and speed are there, and this kind of giant catapult does not use such a small iron ball."

Chen Wei thought for a while, "Then, I will tell Red Hammer to prepare two, no, three of these movable catapults, and let him arrange manpower to come. I need to build one here in Plague Town." Giant catapult."

"My lord, I would like to make a small comment. Plague Town is actually not suitable for building catapults. It is full of swamps. If we want to build giant catapults, we need to dig out the silt in the swamp and pour it into steel. .

   Let’s not talk about the investment here. It is the time that will be consumed, which is not what we can consume now. "

   "It's okay if Plague Town is not working. I have another place where I can install catapults. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's make three movable ones first."

  Chen Wei hesitated for a moment, then said to the lava dwarf.

   "Will every mobile catapult keep up with so many of your hands?"

   "Yes, we are all specially trained."

"Then what if you die in battle? Do you want me to train some operators in Plague Town, so that little devils can come and operate them, and skeletons should be able to do it, too. Can this kind of iron ball be made in Plague Town? If not, It will take quite a long time to transport it from Fulai Village?"

   Regarding this question, the lava dwarf was also speechless.

   But this is a very real problem.

  If a few of them died in battle, then there would be no one to deal with the catapult.

  With the production of the iron ball, if it had to be transported from Fulai Village, then the catapult would not be able to hit it a few times.

   It can be seen that in terms of siege weapons, they still have a lot to consider.

  The lava dwarves who were consulted by Chen didn't know what to say.

   At this time, Chen Wei had already completed a circle around the catapult.

  He asked the lava dwarves behind him: "Is there any room for strengthening and reforming this thing?"

   "Yes, many of the materials we use are steel, but there are some places where it is more suitable to use wood, which can reduce weight without affecting the effect, and there are some places where we need to use better alloys..."

  The lava dwarf was talking there, but Chen Wei's thoughts went astray, and he thought of a possibility.

   Can the catapult be synthesized together with the corpse oil of the ancient gods?
