Before he could speak, Lynn explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inside are natural alkali minerals! You can add them to the raw materials for burning the glazed glass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to continuously extracting alkaline substances from plant ash and water mixtures, this will save many complex processes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, it can greatly lower the melting point of the glass, enhancing the forming rate and quality!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beo’s eyebrows rose, and he quickly opened the linen bag in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layered crystal rocks entered his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn continued speaking, \"With this, if you follow the correct proportion, it should make the risk of cracking and scratching the lenses during grinding less likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beo nodded repeatedly, his previously dejected face now full of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s wonderful, Master Lynn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn further said, \"The workshop will still need alkali minerals later, I will specially assign a team of workers for excavation and transport.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need to worry about shortages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beo nodded again, \"Of course, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing Beo a few words, Lynn then left the Glass Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small open-pit alkali mine holds at least tens of millions of tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than enough to satisfy the entire territory’s consumption for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he needs to arrange specially assigned workers for excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the open-pit mine lies at least eight or nine leagues from the town, the water power of the Aladia River must be utilized for transportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for saltpeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without obtaining sulfur first, Lynn stored it in the castle’s warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn took steps to arrive at the woodworking workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just stepping into the workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large-sized machine placed at the center of the workshop caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick lever arms are the core part of the enhanced catapult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lever arm is divided into two parts, the long arm is used to hang the projecting equipment on the stone pocket, the short arm connects the torque system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the lever wall, there is a large stand, serving as support to ensure the lever wall’s stable operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a torsion device catapult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using heavy objects for power, during launch, it rapidly pulls the torque cord, causing the block to swiftly fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pull of the torque under the effect of the lever wall propels the stone in the pocket at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achieving long-distance attack results!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The catapult has strong attack power and a wide range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention crashing into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even crashing against the city wall will cause dents and looseness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing its great power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether used for siege or defense, it has enormous value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But relatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where there are advantages, there are limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The catapult’s size is large, making movement and deployment difficult, it’s hard to quickly change positions, with very low flexibility on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the catapult’s attack is influenced by many factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind force, the weight, and shape of the projectile, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making it harder for precise target hits, usually only able to conduct a roughly directional attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the difficulty of operating the catapult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a large apparatus, it often requires multiple soldiers working together to conduct a single stone launch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having many drawbacks, Lynn still needs such large devices on the city wall as defense tools!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t care about its lack of flexibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine to mount it on the city wall, just for defense purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t care about its poor accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine to make more catapults for simultaneous launches, achieving widespread attack coverage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn’s gaze scanned the catapult, Colin approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin bowed, speaking respectfully, \"Master, you are back from your trip!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn responded, inquiring, \"Was this catapult tested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin replied, \"Yes, Master, it has been tested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this catapult’s lever arm, it can carry up to two hundred pounds of stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The maximum firing distance can reach one hundred and fifty meters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If launching thirty kilograms of stones, it can reach a range of two hundred and twenty meters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lynn’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind had estimated the firing distance, only forty meters more than Colin explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Colin to achieve such results based solely on the blueprint Lynn sketched out met his expectations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn praised, \"Very well done, Old Colin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to what I said earlier, I need ten of such catapults!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-05-29T04:51:13.023Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","1cb8042e664db9ae9a4e842226556848584790e9bdedbea4e5e1e3c6c8fd52f4","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-542","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-540",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
