"Well done!" Xu Xin patted Ma Hongwei's shoulders twice. "You have made a great contribution this time!"
At least from Ma Hongwei's description, he was very satisfied with this weapon.
He finally doesn't have to worry all day about some big creature popping out of the nearby lake!
"Well... I just have some ideas." Ma Hongwei said embarrassedly, "If it weren't for the extremely rich resources of our explorers, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the ability to research. At this stage, we are the only ones who can use the heavy crossbow with such huge consumption!"
really.
Currently, only explorers can use this heavy crossbow.
Not to mention the huge consumption of heavy crossbows, just this one shot costs ten pieces of purple-grade materials. This consumption is completely out of reach for other regions, even for their powerful organizations!
They not only have the raw materials provided by Li Wenxi, but also have hundreds of tree house cores, and a charging cycle every five days, so they can barely hold on.
But at this stage, this consumption is a bit too high for them.
After all, their demand for purple-level materials in other areas is also huge.
If a heavy crossbow is fired, five pieces of purple-grade steel will be produced, enough to make a set of purple-grade steel armor!
No wonder Li Wenxi was unwilling.
This consumes too much!
The budget pressure in other areas has exploded!
However, is this thing really as powerful as Ma Hongwei said?
"By the way, Brother Xin, there are other purple-grade steel heavy crossbows of various types in that backpack. I prepared them for you." Ma Hongwei pointed at the backpack and said, "I was planning to trade them directly to you, but since you're here, I'll just give them to you."
Xu Xin nodded, then said, "Aren't you planning to install one of these heavy crossbows for yourself?"
After all, he is a researcher of heavy crossbows. He made this heavy crossbow because he was crushed to death by a giant boa constrictor before. It is only right that he should equip one for himself.
Although the demand for materials is huge, it is not particularly outrageous for them now.
"No, no." Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, you should take care of it. Your tree house is the most important. This heavy crossbow has a very long attack range, covering at least several kilometers in radius, and it can also protect me at the same time."
"Besides, my area is on the periphery and more vulnerable to attack than your tree house, Brother Xin." He continued, "It's better to place the main body of this heavy long-range weapon in the safest location. Otherwise, it would be a shame if it was destroyed after all the effort it took to build it."
Xu Xin nodded.
That is indeed the case.
Ma Hongwei's considerations in this regard are relatively comprehensive.
"Do you have any other ideas about the arrangement of the heavy crossbow?" Xu Xin asked.
Although he has some plans of his own, Ma Hongwei, as the maker of the heavy crossbow, may have a better solution.
"Um……"
Ma Hongwei thought for a moment, considered his words, and then spoke.
"Brother Xin, my idea is to install heavy long-range weapons on your tree house to deal with any giant beasts that may appear."
"As for the tree houses around us, they are mainly equipped with relatively small, low-cost, and energy-recoverable weapons. For example, the tree house crossbow can be loaded with hundreds of explosive crossbow bullets. They are used to deal with small mutant creatures and beast tides."
"It just so happens that right now, Brother Xin, there are already four of us, myself, Qin Fu, Lou Fei'er, and Zeng Tao, surrounding your treehouse, and we're all heading in different directions." He analyzed calmly, "With us here, if a beast tide of the same magnitude as before were to attack, even if your treehouse didn't take action, Brother Xin, we could easily keep it out."
Xu Xin nodded.
Ma Hongwei is right.
Now his own tree house is right in the center of these people. If anyone wants to attack his tree house, he must first cross these people's tree houses.
Even if some mutant creatures crossed over their tree house and entered the interior, they would be defeated and not worth mentioning.
Therefore, those conventional heavy crossbows seemed less important in his tree house.
"So, Brother Xin, my idea is just as I said before. We will deal with the relatively low-level and relatively large creatures in the beast tide, while Brother Xin, your tree house will be responsible for the output of heavy weapons and pose a threat to the giant beasts that may arrive!"
"Of course, we can't be completely powerless against behemoths, so I plan to install the same regular super-heavy crossbows we used to install on the tree houses around us. Having blue-level heavy crossbows on hand will at least pose a significant threat to large enemies. Even if we can't inflict a serious damage, it can buy you some time, Brother Xin."
After Ma Hongwei finished speaking, he handed the backpack to Xu Xin again.
Xu Xin nodded in agreement: "Your suggestion is very reasonable."
Ma Hongwei's ideas basically coincide with his.
"However, I should also always have conventional weapons in my tree house. After all, if a powerful beast tide appears and your tree house falls, you will all have to retreat to my tree house, Lianli. At that time, my tree house will be the last bastion. This last bastion must be equipped with all means of attack."
This plan applies not only to him, but also to the rest of the explorers.
"Even if we don't usually use them, we must always have them on hand." Xu Xin looked out the window, at his tree house. "Thankfully, my tree house is quite large, so even if I could fit all the weapons in it, it wouldn't be a big deal. But... I should still have enough materials, right?"
Ma Hongwei immediately agreed, "That's right. The materials should be fine. If we add some conventional heavy crossbows, it won't take much. Of course, this also depends on Li Wenxi."
