After thinking it over, Su Yi decided to voice his difficulties.
Weiwei wasn't surprised by this.
Although she guessed that Su Yi was definitely a member of the elite in his world, 100,000 tons of grain was still a lot, and it was normal that he couldn't get it all at once.
So she had a backup plan and immediately said:
"It doesn't matter. If you don't have grain, you can replace it with other things, like weapons."
"Swords, bows, and armor, I want them all, especially consumables like bows and arrows. I want as many as you have."
On the battlefield, the importance of military equipment is obviously no less than that of grain.
Speaking of this, Su Yi perked up.
He came prepared today and naturally brought some specialties from Blue Star.
Like compound bows!
Su Yi immediately took out a prepared compound bow:
"Compound bow, maximum draw weight of 70 pounds, effective range of 200 meters, comes with aiming devices, shock absorbers, and other auxiliary shooting equipment. For each bow, I can also give you ten high-quality carbon arrows that can penetrate steel plates."
"How about one bow for 10 tons of grain?"
This price is definitely not cheap, but it's not that outrageous either.
The compound bow he took out is of very good quality, and it would cost at least 8,000 yuan to buy.
And one ton of grain, the cheaper old grain, is estimated to be less than 2,000 yuan.
The cost price is close to the price of five tons of grain, and Su Yi's selling price is only doubled, which can be said to be very conscientious.
Of course, Su Yi had already started acquiring the factory that produces this compound bow before he came. If the acquisition is successful, then the cost price is of course another matter.
Weiwei did not directly object to this price, but took the bow that Su Yi handed over and carefully examined it.
The production of ancient bows and arrows is a very complex process, involving multiple components and a meticulous production process.
The production process of traditional bows is complex, the materials used are numerous, and the workmanship and material selection are also affected by the season, with certain seasonal restrictions.
If this bow is as good as Su Yi said, then she can accept a higher price.
After taking a closer look and even test-firing a few arrows in the trading space, Weiwei frowned and said:
"The auxiliary tools such as the aiming devices on the bow are very useful, and these pulleys can greatly save the archer's physical energy, but the power is still too small. It's useless for me to purchase this kind of bow. Even with your sharp carbon arrows, it's difficult to penetrate the heavy knight armor of our world."
"Are there any with more power?"
Low power is indeed a common problem with bows and arrows that can be bought in China.
One pound is only 0.45kg. A 70-pound bow sounds intimidating, but the actual draw weight is only thirty kilograms.
Ancient fierce generals in Kyushu often drew three-stone strong bows. The unit of 'stone' changed frequently in ancient Kyushu, and there is much debate about how many kilograms it refers to in modern units.
But in bows, it is generally believed that the 'stone' here refers to 50kg.
A three-stone bow is a 150kg bow.
In a world without magic like Blue Star, this is probably the limit of human beings.
But in their magical world, there is obviously room for improvement.
Not to mention that Weiwei, who tested the bow, is also a Starlight Knight in their world. Although her martial arts strength is a bit weaker than Yue Ling's, the title of Dragon Slayer was also obtained by slacking off.
But in Blue Star, let alone fighting tigers and leopards with bare hands, she can crush Tyrannosaurus Rexes with one hand.
This compound bow with a draw weight of just over 30kg is indeed no different from a toy to her.
"It's easy to increase the power. How much power do you want? I can get you as much power as you want here."
Talking about this, Su Yi perked up.
The maximum poundage of compound bows is usually around 70 pounds, which doesn't mean that this is the maximum poundage that this thing can be made to.
It's just that a 70-pound bow is completely enough on Blue Star.
With better arrows, even an elephant can be shot down with one arrow.
Any bigger is not only meaningless, but few people can draw it.
The so-called three-stone strong bow in ancient times was not used for combat. It was generally used for training. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful a bow you can personally draw, it is not as powerful as the bed crossbows controlled by two or three soldiers on the other side. It's useless.
But if this thing is placed in the magical world, with the average physical fitness of the people there, mass equipping high-pound strong bows is a completely different matter.
It really has practical value.
As for the manufacturing difficulty, compound crossbows with hundreds of pounds are easy, how could it be impossible to make compound bows with hundreds of pounds?
As long as someone uses it and there is a market, with the technology of those manufacturers in Kyushu, they can make you a strong bow of more than 200 pounds in minutes.
If this thing was placed before, even if Su Yi acquired the factory, he would not be able to make it. It would definitely be illegal.
But after Old Man Lin got him the military production and trade qualifications, he can really produce it reasonably and legally.
You don't care who I produce this thing for, I just like to make it anyway, it's not illegal, and I bear the loss myself, no one can control it.
Not only bows and arrows, but he can also get Weiwei a batch of more powerful compound crossbows.
Modern compound crossbows, when placed on an ancient battlefield, give the enemy a sense of oppression that is not inferior to bolt-action rifles in World War II.
It is definitely a big killer.
It is even possible to use modern technology to create large treasures such as bed crossbows.
In short, in terms of technology in this area, the magical world cannot be compared with Blue Star. He can fully meet Weiwei's basic war supplies needs.
Of course, people must also have their big killers.
Such as some special bows and arrows related to magic.
But this kind of thing is destined to be a minority and cannot be popularized on a large scale.
And Su Yi has a huge industrialized country behind him. In terms of output and cost, he has absolute advantages in these basic things.
"Using the pound as a unit you just mentioned, 200 pounds is considered a very rare strong bow in our world. After forming a certain scale, even a genuine knight with holy light protection and fully armored would definitely not dare to charge into this kind of arrow rain."
Weiwei pondered:
"Ten thousand of these strong bows, each bow equipped with ten corresponding arrows and one hundred more powerful arrowheads, will offset 50,000 tons of grain."
The value of Blue Star's bows is indeed inflated. Su Yi can spend so much money to buy this compound bow, mainly because the added value is greater than its true value.
After bows and arrows completely withdrew from the battlefield, bows and arrows have become an extremely niche rich man's sport.
As we all know, weapons and sports equipment are definitely not the same price.
However, Weiwei directly cut the price in half, which is a bit outrageous.
Su Yi naturally had to argue reasonably.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement.
Ten thousand strong bows of more than two hundred pounds, plus ten specially made arrows and one hundred special arrowheads attached to each bow, offset 80,000 tons of grain.
