The manufacturing process of a military crossbow was completely different from that of a military saber.
The military saber was a whole without any parts, while the military crossbow was divided into many parts. The materials and craftsmanship of each part were different, making it more complicated and detailed.
In ancient times, the materials used to make bows and crossbows were mostly natural, so their power and range were very limited. Now, from the design to the materials used, bows and crossbows were more advanced and scientific.
Generally speaking, the bow blades of the current conventional military crossbow were made of spring steel, composite materials, and carbon fiber. The elasticity and initial speed were greatly increased, and the service life was also increased.
The bow was a basic component of the military crossbow, and it was also a very important basic structure. Another very important component was the eccentric wheel.
The eccentric wheel was used to reduce the force of pulling the bowstring and to solve the problem of ordinary soldiers 'difficulty in stringing the bowstring, so as to achieve the effect of military crossbows.
High-level crossbowmen had a distinct advantage in shooting range accuracy, initial speed, and other aspects. They were the best crossbowmen, also known as the sharpshooters. However, other than these top-notch sharpshooters, the army needed a large number of ordinary archers. They were not required to be 100% accurate, but they needed to have a basic requirement in terms of accuracy, range, initial speed, and so on to adapt to the battlefield environment.
This meant that the requirements for weapons and equipment were very high. The main purpose was to reduce the requirements for the quality of the soldiers.
For example, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was a weapon made by Wu Country to imitate the SKS semi-automatic rifle of the Soviet Union. It had the characteristics of light weight, shooting accuracy, and powerful headlights. When this semi-automatic rifle was born, it created countless legends of sharpshooters in that era.
The reason why this Type 56 semi-automatic rifle could produce so many sharpshooters, while other rifles could not, was because the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle's design concept and practicality were strong. It also had lower requirements for the soldiers 'own quality and was very compatible. With this rifle, anyone could shoot with their hands. With a little training, they could become experts. Those with higher standards could become sharpshooters and hit the bullseye.
Another example was the Type 63 automatic rifle. It was created in an era where everyone was a soldier. It was also the first automatic rifle developed by Wu Country. There were great improvements in the bayonet and shooting accuracy. However, due to the craftsmanship and design of this rifle, its reliability was not high. Many soldiers were unwilling to use it, and it gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
It wasn't hard to see that the advancement of weapons and equipment could reduce the demand on the soldiers themselves. Qin Jia had the same idea when he designed the Neltharion Crossbow. He either didn't make it, or he wanted to make a crossbow that could be popularized and nurture a large number of sharpshooters.
Although the Neltharion Crossbow looked very exquisite, like a work of art, it couldn't be like some weapons and equipment. It looked fancy but was not practical. Soldiers were not willing to equip it at all. This required the eccentric wheel to be further improved so that ordinary soldiers could also pull crossbows and shoot higher results.
Just like the Qilin military saber, its appearance alone was useless. Its performance had to be universally recognized by the soldiers before it could be promoted in the major war zones. After the Qilin Army Saber cut the Sakuragi Army Saber in the friendly match, it immediately aroused the interest of the soldiers in the various war zones.
A squad leader had challenged the famous Miyamoto family descendant of the Sakuragi Kingdom, and he was also a star officer of the Sakuragi Kingdom's Ministry of War. How could this not make the soldiers excited and excited?
Was this match just because the 4th class monitor was awesome? Not necessarily. The level of the 4th squad leader could be achieved in the military. The most important thing was that the Qilin Saber was still effective.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qilin Saber had suddenly cut off Takeshi Takeshi's saber, the 4th squad leader would have been in danger, let alone make a comeback!
Due to the high quality and practicality of the Qilin Saber, many war zones had become interested in the Qilin Saber and requested their leaders to submit the purchasing plan as soon as possible so that they could replace their own sabers.
The soldiers shouted loudly. This was a good weapon. It was useless to be flashy.
The design and improvement of the eccentric wheel was a very important step in the crossbows. He had to improve the range and initial speed of the military crossbow through the eccentric wheel. At the same time, he had to weaken the requirements for the soldiers 'own ability.
The other improvements were the trigger and handle. The first was that the trigger and handle would look smaller than before. This was to make it easier to fold and carry around. However, the reason why this design was retained was also because most soldiers could get used to it faster. There was no need to spend a lot of time on special training.
As long as he learned how to aim and pull the trigger, and practiced stability, he would be able to complete the basic shooting action. After all, soldiers who could train to the military crossbow basically knew how to shoot, and they were already very familiar with the trigger and handle.
Depending on the situation on the battlefield, there would also be separate accessories, such as laser sights, to improve the accuracy of the attack.
Therefore, the research and development process of the military crossbow was more complicated than the Qilin Saber. The difficulty of the Qilin Saber's development was mainly the new process of steel. It was to process the existing steel to achieve higher hardness and durability.
As for the Neltharion Crossbow, there were too many parts, and each part had its own unique requirements. It was relatively complicated.
This also made Qin Jia very busy. More than 100 workers were divided into several groups to attack different parts.
He was in charge of the overall coordination and command, and because it was the first time he was standing from the perspective of a leading designer to plan the project, he was a little flustered.
There were also a lot of waste products and some detours, but this was actually a very valuable experience for future development.
Tao Yaran had been troubled recently. She realized that Qin Jia's replies were getting fewer and fewer. In the past, she would basically reply to her messages within half an hour, but now, she didn't receive a single message for several hours.
As for Qin Jia's messages, she had set up a special reminder and replied almost instantly!
Tao Yaran was so angry that she didn't even want to send Qin Jia a message, but she couldn't help but take out her phone to check.
This fellow really didn't speak much in a day, and it made her seem like she was rushing to go up, which made her very depressed.
Soon, she heard some news from the leader of the workers. She knew that Qin Jia had already started to develop military crossbows, so she didn't have time.
This made her heart itch again. She wanted to fly over and see what kind of divine weapon he was going to create.
Unfortunately, each of the workers was responsible for a different component. In addition to the confidentiality principle, they did not reveal much to Tao Yaran, so she could only guess blindly.
The director of Factory 155 had not returned. It seemed that he wanted to stay with the commander-in-chief. He pestered the commander-in-chief every day to transfer Qin Jia to Factory 155.
It wasn't that he didn't want to come back, but he really didn't dare to leave. That was because the other cold weapon factory directors were also wasting time there, looking like they would make a scene if the commander-in-chief didn't let go.
Many of the directors of the thermal weapons factories called the commander-in-chief every day to urge him.
Although the commander-in-chief had discovered Qin Jia's talent a few days ago, he did not expect him to be so popular. Even the directors of the major firearms factories were alarmed. The directors of the cold weapons factories were even more shameless. They squatted at the door of his office every day and even had to take care of his meals!
He couldn't even participate in the friendly match against the Sakuragi Kingdom.
Now, Qin Jia's departure was not just a problem about the deployment of conscripts. He had to coordinate the interests of all parties and strive for the greatest interests for his own theater of operations.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief had been having meetings and meetings non-stop for the past two days. He was having a headache.
After being the commander-in-chief for so many years, this was the first time he was in such a terrible situation because of a conscript!
After a few days of meetings, almost all the cold weapons factories and hot weapons factories in Wu Country were gathered together!
