Frequent Setbacks

With the manufacturing techniques and research experience for the Three-bow Ballista as a foundation, developing a City Defense Crossbow was well within Zhuang Mengdie's capabilities.

However, because its method of attack and overall purpose had both changed, aside from the issue with the supports, the City Defense Crossbow did not have any major problems, but based on feedback from the crossbowmen and Zhuang Mengdie's own discoveries during testing, there were still some areas that needed adjustment.

After hearing Zhuang Mengdie's report on the problems, Zhou Xu nodded.

"These minor issues won't take long to adjust. The size of the bolts shouldn't change again, right? If so, I can order people to begin mass-producing them first."

The Three-bow Ballista and the City Defense Crossbow were completely different in size, so the bolts used by the two naturally could not be used interchangeably.

This meant that they had no choice but to specially manufacture a new batch of properly sized bolts for the City Defense Crossbow, and even add another production line.

It was a little troublesome, but considering the value the City Defense Crossbow could display in siege defense, this investment was entirely worthwhile.

Without exaggeration, once they had the City Defense Crossbow, the garrison troops would be able to effectively suppress the enemy's siege weapons. That alone was enough to make Yellow Sand City as secure as an impregnable fortress!

Thus, after confirming everything with Zhuang Mengdie, Zhou Xu immediately gave the order for people to begin producing the specialized defense bolts for the City Defense Crossbow.

As for Zhuang Mengdie, she naturally knew what her most important task was now: producing the core components of the City Defense Crossbow.

Aside from the core components, her subordinates could make all the other parts. As for work involving adjustments to minor
