Tang San and the personnel from the Works Department had also produced a large batch of the non-Soul Tool version of the Zhuge Crossbow.
Although the Soul Tool Divine Crossbow of Zhuge was more powerful, and the latest version not only had a Soul Pool installed but also possessed greater endurance, its core relied on formations. There were few people capable of engraving them, and the industrial assembly lines still depended on manual labor. As a result, production remained limited, with only one hundred thousand accumulated so far.
In short, there were simply too few people.
Furthermore.
The latest research results would absolutely not be allowed to leak. The only products that could be sold were the lowest-grade versions—the purely mechanical Zhuge Crossbows that did not even qualify as first-generation models.
"Miss Mu Bing, are you satisfied with this Zhuge Crossbow? Just imagine it: if your nation's army were equipped with such weapons, victory in every battle would be inevitable."
Tang San pushed the Zhuge Crossbow toward Mu Bing.
Mu Bing first inspected the steel plate. Only after confirming that there was no problem did she pick up the Zhuge Crossbow and examine it carefully. Though she could not understand its mechanical structure, she still exclaimed in admiration, "Such precise craftsmanship! Can it be mass-produced?"
"It can."
Unlike the Soul Tool Divine Crossbow of Zhuge, the purely mechanical Zhuge Crossbow had lower material requirements. In particular, the fact that it did not require the engraving of a Soul Tool Core Formation could greatly improve forging efficiency.
Of course, Soul Tools were the future. However, at present, aside from Tang San, only Lou Gao and the several hundred people who followed him could engrave Soul Tool Core Formations, resulting in low production.
"How is the price calculated?" Mu Bing was extremely
