Chapter 625
Changing the situation on the battlefield is not a problem.
What the three didn't know was that in Lin Cheng's original world, during the Middle Ages, on the battlefields between some small European countries, having a chariot could completely influence the situation on the battlefield.
Chariots are large-scale lethal weapons on the battlefield, and their effects are even better than ten thousand arrows fired at once. Even if the enemy is wearing armor, there must be gaps between the leg armor. As long as the height is sufficient, the blade chariot will become the most terrifying war weapon on the battlefield.
Otherwise, heavy armor will only make soldiers become "iron fools" and living targets.
On the battlefield, unless it is a special heavy armored legion, what they wear must be light armor or leather armor. Heavy armor is very unsuitable for soldiers to charge and fight continuously. In ancient times, there were indeed heavy armored legions with amazing combat power, the "Xianzhen Camp"!
It is said that they were all strong men, wearing heavy armor, holding heavy weapons, eating five or six times more food than ordinary people every day, and eating meat at every meal, and their training was also very hard.
It sounds exaggerated, but at that time, ordinary soldiers could barely eat their fill.
Being five-tenths full was an extremely good treatment, let alone the Xianzhen Camp, which had the hardest training. Even so, calculated according to modern time, the Xianzhen Camp had strong combat power, but the combat time was only 30 minutes. It is conceivable that without a sufficient industrial foundation, heavy armor is not the best choice on the battlefield.
In this world, Lin Cheng has not heard of any war weapons like chariots so far. It feels like an overhead world, too chaotic in terms of ordnance weapons and industrial foundation. Coming back to his senses, several gazes were left on him.
"Hey, why don't you leave?" Lin Cheng looked over.
Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji and the others had left, and they were probably mobilizing people to assist Lin Cheng in his work. But An'an and her three followers had not left.
"Isn't it good to stay and keep you company?" Hearing Lin Cheng's order to evict guests, Li Li Wuchang rolled his eyes at him directly, sat on a box on the side, and dangled his feet.
His gaze had been staring at where Lin Cheng was from beginning to end.
"I suspect you want to steal my forging techniques, but I have no evidence."
Pfft!
Li Li Wuchang, who was drinking water, sprayed a mouthful of water directly.
"I am a descendant of the Imperial Royal Family! Do I need to learn your bitter forging technique? I only need one order, and you still have to listen to me obediently."
"Fine... you're awesome, can you let your three followers help me move all these weapons over?"
Play is play, trouble is trouble, Lin Cheng didn't forget that he still had serious things to do.
The teasing words made Li Li Wuchang's face flush, and he waved his hand to let the three people behind him go to help Lin Cheng.
"What are you looking at? Inferiority complex?"
Just as Li Li Wuchang looked up, he saw Lin Cheng's lecherous look, holding his hands up, and with a delicate scolding sound, his hand swung over directly.
"Go to hell!"
Slap!
"I am an Imperial Princess! You bastard!"
The three followers were stunned. What did they hear? They heard the Princess they had been following say she was a princess, and they also heard a light and pleasant girl's voice.
Could it be that all along... they were indeed following the Imperial Princess, but the Princess usually disguised herself as a man?
Master Lin Cheng easily saw through the Princess's disguise?
So awesome? They had been here for so long and hadn't noticed.
"Of course I knew, but don't you think teasing a princess is exciting?"
Lin Cheng covered his right cheek, his eyes still carrying a bit of excitement and heat.
Before this, he was just an ordinary poor person. If it weren't for the system, how could he have achieved what he has today? Even in his previous life, it was the same.
It was hard to meet a fellow countryman, and she was a princess! As the saying goes, men are boys until they die, and only boys will pursue the sense of excitement in their hearts.
As for the consequences... that's something to consider later.
"You... bastard!"
Hmph!
........ .. 0
Pointing angrily at Lin Cheng, with a delicate snort, Li Li Wuchang was so angry that her chest heaved, and she turned and left the armory.
Although she was very angry, for some reason, she felt a little happy in her heart, which meant that she was also attractive to Lin Cheng.
In her previous life, she was at least a school beauty level, so how could she be bad in this life? Unfortunately, she died with regrets in her previous life, didn't even have a boyfriend, and hadn't experienced the sweetness of falling in love before she died.
Little Lin Cheng, as a princess, she could get him by just hooking her finger, right?
As for that Gong Miss Qianhui, she just met Lin Cheng a little earlier than her. If she could have met Lin Cheng earlier, it would definitely be the same, maybe even have children.
"Ghehe..."
Thinking this, Li Li Wuchang giggled, covered her hot face, and quickened her pace back to the tent. The soldiers patrolling past were very puzzled, why was the Princess's laughter so strange?
"The annoying people have finally left, boys, let's move, youth and blood should naturally be dedicated to mechanical arts."
Lin Cheng was clenching his fists there, full of excitement, while Iron Fist, Tiger, and Heavy Sword were all confused.
"What is he saying?" Heavy Sword.
"Completely confused." Tiger.
"Although I don't understand, I always feel it's very awesome!" Iron Fist scratched his head.
"Wait, the Master seems to have said that the Princess is an annoying person?"
"Actually, it makes sense."
"But we are the Princess's people, so angry, the Master actually said the Princess is an annoying person."
"Not convinced!"
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Cheng walked over, and the three were still discussing with each other. Seeing this, he stuffed the drawings into their arms.
"Alright, the discussion is over, let's work."
"Your task is to wait for those materials to arrive, and use these drawings to assemble a catapult. If you don't understand, come and ask me, but there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?"
The drawings he designed were so simple that even a fool could understand them. As long as you cut and install according to the drawings, even they could make them. The only trouble might be the efficiency problem.
Three people are too slow, I'm afraid they can only assemble two in two days. With the help of those three thousand soldiers, it shouldn't be a problem.
As for Lin Cheng, he made blade chariots and powerful crossbows.
The powerful crossbow is not a big problem, the key lies in the concept of the blade chariot. He originally wanted to use a mechanical mount to pull the blade chariot, but once he thought of the magic crystal internal combustion engine, using a mechanical mount to pull it, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
Using two magic crystal internal combustion engines, four-wheel drive, powerful kinetic energy, and connecting shafts to drive four rotating blades, isn't this more refreshing than a mechanical mount pulling it?
How many to make? Ten should be enough, right?
Wait.
The blade chariot is made of metal. First, it must have speed and general defensive power. Two magic crystal internal combustion engines ensure speed. Forget about the defensive power to resist seventh-rank powerhouses.
The cost is too high, and there are not enough materials, so it's not worth the loss. It's better to be simple, hehe.
Lin Cheng has an idea.
Outside, a large number of soldiers began to dismantle houses and tiles, transporting a large amount of wood and metal to the temporary armory. When three thousand soldiers brought the materials, Lin Cheng immediately asked Iron Fist and the three to guide these three thousand people to divide into ten groups to work, 200 people in each group.
Compared to the blade chariot or the powerful crossbow, the principle and production of the catapult are simple. Make as many as you can, he has other plans.
The remaining thousand people are responsible for assisting Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng makes the basic assembly materials for the blade chariot and the powerful crossbow, and they are responsible for assembling them according to the drawings.
Soon, a large amount of sword, shield, and metal materials were fused by Lin Cheng's spell flames, and finally set into pieces of materials. After cooling, he directed the soldiers to start assembling. In less than two hours, a simple blade chariot was formed.
The rest just needs to be equipped with a magic crystal internal combustion engine and linked to four rotating blades.
The sharp cone in front is like a city-breaking cone, ruthlessly breaking through the enemy's defense line, and the four rotating blades in the front, back, left, and right are responsible for harvesting the enemy's life.
The only thing to worry about is that the enemy's powerhouses may take the opportunity to raid.
"You continue to build according to this, and I will complete the final installation of the magic crystal internal combustion engine."
"Yes, Master Lin Cheng."
Some soldiers were still discussing how to make such war machines move. Until Lin Cheng started, two pre-prepared magic crystal internal combustion engines were installed, and the linkage lever drove the rotation, completing the four-wheel drive and rotating blades.
The tires are off-road tires specially made by Lin Cheng, with extremely strong grip, and the interior is fixed with metal brackets. .......
Another hour later, the first blade chariot was completed. The appearance was not commented on, it was rough, but considering that the soldiers were not professional Forgemasters, it was fine as long as the function was similar to Lin Cheng's design.
For the inspection work, Lin Cheng got on the chariot directly, threw a magic crystal into each magic crystal internal combustion engine, started the magic crystal internal combustion engine, operated the steering wheel, and started it directly.
The surrounding soldiers had long since stayed away at a sufficient distance, even if the rotating blades hadn't started yet, safety first.
The blade chariot is not big, and the chariot can carry eight soldiers. The whole chariot plus the rotating blades is no more than four meters wide. The battlefield is vast, I'm afraid ten blade chariots are not enough.
Sigh, I can only try my best.
Afterward, the rotating blades were started to test the effect. The effect was quite good, ordinary armor was shattered instantly, and the distance from the ground was about half a meter. Considering that the people in the Western Regions are often taller, this ground clearance should be enough.
With the experience of the first blade chariot, the soldiers made the second blade chariot much faster.
Lin Cheng devoted himself to the development of powerful crossbows. Traditional bows and arrows use air-dried ox tendons as bowstrings.
He originally wanted to use metal to build the bow body, but the requirements for the bowstring were too high, so he had to settle for the next best thing, using solid wood stacking to make the bow body to reduce the requirements for the bowstring. As for the powerful crossbow, it was made of metal, three meters long, with a tail chain at the end.
He originally wanted to use a metal tail chain, but later found that the metal tail chain consumed too much kinetic energy, so he had to use wooden ropes tied with small iron blocks instead.
In the process of developing the powerful crossbow, Lin Cheng had a flash of inspiration and also developed a blade crossbow to launch powerful rotating blades, which could also be quite powerful.
