Crossbow arrows may require certain technology to be built, but can they be easily excavated as long as there is a mountain?

If this was said in the previous world, there would definitely be nothing wrong with it.

But one thing everyone should remember is that this is the Sky Island World, not the previous world.

Although there are mountains here, they are not fixed in a certain boundary like the previous world, but are growing in some special areas.

After all, the empty islands are mainly soil, but there are no stones. If you want to get them, you can fish them out by fishing, or you can explore special dangerous areas and then mine some ore.

So these huge stones seem ordinary, but in fact each piece is an ore, which is not an ordinary stone.

Then everyone knows that it is definitely more than several times more difficult to dig ore than ordinary stones.

Because these ores cannot be mined or excavated casually like ordinary stones.

The reason why ore is called ore is that the inside or on the surface of the stone contains other elements to cover it.

For example, the main circulating currency in the Sky Island World, the "iron ore" is extracted from the ore.

Then there are some refined gold mines that are even rarer and more solid than iron ore. These require a lot of time and energy to extract these ores without destroying the mineral itself.

Then, after extracting the stone, you can use it as a catapult ammunition for a castle cart, or use it as an arrow to create crossbow arrows.

However, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to completely extract a piece of ore. More or less, some of it will be preserved.

In this way, the value of these stones will also increase. Of course, after joining these metal ores, the attack power of these huge stones is much stronger than that of the previous stones.

If it is an ordinary stone and encounters some city walls made of special materials, it is often difficult to penetrate the city walls after one or two attacks.

However, if the huge rocks made of ores such as iron ore are added, it is likely that the city wall will be penetrated in an instant.

In addition to this, once an ordinary boulder is launched, regardless of whether it hits the target or not, his ending will be divided into pieces and become pieces of gravel of different sizes. At this time, his attack power is almost zero.

However, after adding the ore-made boulder, it will not be so easy to split after being launched. He will always maintain the boulder state. After breaking through the city wall, he will still fly towards the distance. Wherever he goes, there will definitely be casualties.

Its power is at least several times that of an ordinary boulder.

This is also why the ammunition of these catapults and crossbows is so expensive.

As the saying goes, a good car is paired with a saddle, otherwise no matter how good the catapult car is, he will not be able to exert the power he deserves.

As I said just now, the arrows of these huge rocks and crossbow arrows need to be extracted from ore and then created.

With this alone, many forces cannot do it.

This is why Tang Yan, a forging master, was praised by everyone.

The number of forgings in the Sky Island World is even rarer than that, let alone extracting ore and forging it, this is definitely not something that ordinary forgings can do. At least they have to complete beginner tasks and become one.

Only after a real level 1 forgeter can it be done.

This is why many platforms can imitate the Merchant Alliance to create defective catapults and crossbows, but there are only a few platforms that really make these siege weapons.

After all, the profession of forging is definitely hard to come by. It is basically unlikely that ordinary people want to learn from an ordinary person to become a forging without spending ten or eight years.

Moreover, ten or eight years are only the lowest starting point, and those who study must have certain talents and must not be the kind of fool who cannot be enlightened.

If he is such a mentally retarded, he will not be able to learn even if he gives him a hundred or eighty years.

Of course, what you can learn in ten or eight years is just the most basic forging. If you want to become a monk like Tang Yan, it is basically impossible to become a monk halfway.

In fact, although there are few forgeators, we cannot say there are no one.

Although it is difficult to create the things like rocks and crossbow arrows, they are not completely impossible to forge. As long as they have the forge, they will definitely be able to imitate them.

It's just like a catapult cart or a crossbow cart of defective products, and the quality is greatly reduced.

But even so, if they can make it and the price is slightly more favorable, there will definitely be some forces with poor economic strength to buy it.

But even so, with potential customers, there are still very few platforms participating in production and sales. Why is this?

That's because their forging masters are too low, and the cost and energy required to refine ores are far beyond those of those forging masters with superb strength.

In this way, their costs will naturally rise.

If their quality can exceed that of the business alliance, then they can still accept it by spending so much money and energy on making it. Anyway, the more you sell is considered to make up for the extra effort they have spent.

However, their strength is limited and the cost is high, the huge rocks and crossbow arrows they created are not as good as those sold by the Shang League.

If they want to sell more expensively than the Shanglian, it is absolutely impossible to sell it.

Because no fool would buy a bunch of garbage for a high price.

But if the price is too cheap and they compete with the merchant alliance for business, then they will not only not be able to make money, but will instead have to pay for money to sell.

How could they do such things that are not pleasing to you?

So the best way is to give up this business and focus on imitating catapults and crossbows. As for the ammunition business, let other platforms with more powerful strength make money.

After all, their termination is to make money, not to lose money here and make a lot of money.

Because compared with the business alliance, their shouting can't be made back no matter how much money they have.

It’s not that they can’t make money, but that under the suppression of the Shang Alliance platform, they are useless and can only make themselves lose more.

Even these specially-sold platforms cannot produce the ammunition required for catapults and crossbows, let alone those ordinary forces. They have no other way except to buy them with the Merchant Alliance and these platforms.
