In the morning, after returning to the castle for breakfast, Abel rested for two hours before returning to his exclusive operation room in the blacksmith shop.
When Abel was a fitness instructor in his previous life, he often went hiking in the wild with his friends, so he had a lot of hunting experience.
This time, Abel wanted to make a large bear trap based on his memories from his previous life. According to Master Bentham's description, the wolf riders were fast and flexible, so it was very difficult to trap them. Without enough troops to encircle and suppress them, the wolf riders could attack or retreat, so it was very difficult to eliminate them. However, if there was a bear trap, then it would be different. As long as the wolf's foot was caught in the trap, then the wolf riders would at least be injured. As long as the speed of the wolf riders was offset, then the wolf riders would not be a threat.
The beasts and even the people in this world were much stronger than the beasts and people of his previous life. Abel estimated that only by making a large bear trap would he be able to harm the wolf riders.
The structure of the large bear trap was divided into a thick compression spring, two toothed clamps, a trigger, a clamp frame, and a chain.
After the compression spring was flattened, the trigger would be gently clasped, creating a huge rebound force. Once the trigger was pressed, the two toothed clamps would be released instantly, rebounding and clamping the prey. Because the two toothed clamps were not completely closed, the more the prey struggled, the tighter the clamp would be.
If a wolf rider's mount wolf was caught in a trap like this, with the speed of the wolf rider, the werewolf would be flung off due to the pain from the leg of the wolf rider and the chain.
There was no such large bear trap in this world, so the placement of the bear trap would not attract the attention of the orcs. With some concealment methods, the bear trap would not be discovered by the orcs.
The process of making the bear trap was very simple, but the compression spring was more troublesome. According to Abel's memory, the steel used for the spring had to have a high carbon content in order to maintain the elasticity of the steel.
Abel experimented with a hundred skills blank. After many carburizing operations, he made many small samples according to different carburizing ratios. After testing, he found the best sample and finally decided on the production process.
After that, Abel began to make a large number of compression springs. He made ten compression springs. Seeing that there was still a lot of material left, he also made a few thick spiral springs to be used as shock absorbers for the future upgrade of the carriage.
As for the other parts of the trap, Abel didn't make them himself. It would take too much time. With the most demanding compression spring, the other parts only needed to be made of ordinary iron. This work was handed over to the other blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop.
Abel called his Senior Brother Gedon and asked him to make the required parts according to Abel's drawings and dimensions. Gedon had no problem with Abel's request and promised to ask the best blacksmiths to work overtime to complete it.
The next morning, when Abel came to the blacksmith shop, Gedon told him with red eyes, "Master Abel, all the parts have been made according to your request. They are in your operation room."
Abel was pleasantly surprised. He thought it would take at least two days. He didn't expect it to be done in one night. But when he saw Gedon's red eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you rest last night? These parts don't need to be done in such a hurry."
"The blacksmiths heard that it was something you asked them to do. They didn't want to delay, so they finished it overnight." Gedon didn't talk about himself, but mentioned the other blacksmiths in front of Abel.
"You rest first. Next time when I forge the sword of a hundred skills, you and the other blacksmiths can watch from the side." Abel said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Abel. I will tell them now." Gedon thanked Abel and ran away.
Abel walked into the operation room and saw a pile of parts on the ground. They had been divided into ten parts. From these details, it was enough to see Gedon's care.
It took a lot of strength to assemble these large animal traps. Abel was never short of strength. In half an hour, the ten large animal traps were installed.
Abel took two horses and put five large animal traps on each horse. After tying them securely, he shook his hand to make sure there was no problem.
There was a forest behind Harry's castle. Abel had been busy since he came to the castle, so he didn't go deep into the forest. He always heard that there were large beasts in the forest. Today, Abel decided to test the large animal traps in the forest.
Although the castle was already on alert, no guards asked Abel when he led the two sections of the horse out. Abel's identity was no longer the same as when he first arrived. Everyone had heard that Abel had become a Blacksmith Master. In this world, the title of a Master was only given to a small number of people at the top of their profession. These Masters were respected no matter where they were in the Holy Continent.
It was the time of the afternoon when the sun was at its brightest. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves and formed spots of light, scattering on the ground full of fallen leaves. Abel's feet made a dull friction sound when he stepped on the leaves. The two old horses didn't seem to like the forest environment very much. The horses' noses snorted from time to time.
After walking for about half an hour, Abel felt that he had already entered the depths of the forest. He didn't see any large beasts along the way, but he found large amounts of animal feces from time to time, which meant that large beasts had been here before. There was no trace of human activity in this area since 10 minutes ago. He had arrived at the place where he should place the large bear trap. Because of the hidden nature of the large bear trap, it couldn't be placed in a place where there were people.
Abel squatted down and looked for the beast's path on the ground. Wild beasts always liked to go back and forth on the same path. These paths were often trampled by wild beasts, forming a path that was not obvious. Experienced hunters would use these paths to set up traps.
Although Abel didn't have much experience, he was still trained in this area. After careful observation, he found a path. He took down two large animal traps from the horse, opened them with force, and pulled the trigger. The placement of the two large animal traps was very particular. The placement of the traps on the path had to be calculated according to the steps of the beasts. Even if the beasts escaped the first trap, they would be caught by the second trap.
After he was done, Abel made a mark on the tree. This mark was so that when he turned around, he would notice that there was a trap. It would also make it easier for him to come back and collect the trap in the future. Also, Abel's marks all had arrows pointing in the direction he came from. This way, Abel could easily find his way back home in the forest.
He continued to walk forward. Every ten minutes or so, he would look for an animal path to install a large-sized trap. After another hour of walking, all the traps were installed.
At this time, the sky was slowly darkening. Abel was preparing to pack up and return to the castle. There were only two hours left until nightfall, so he could still see the ground clearly.
At this time, a howl came from the distance. The howl contained a kind of pain and anger.
A beast had fallen into the trap. Abel immediately thought of the reason. In this forest, only his large animal trap could make a beast make such a sound.
After tying the two horses to the tree, Abel quickly ran in the direction of the sound. As he ran, Abel also observed the surroundings, looking for the mark he had made. He didn't want to be caught by his own trap. Otherwise, it would be a big joke.
After running for ten minutes, Abel found his mark in front of him. He slowed down and quietly walked towards the trap.
Although the two teeth of the large animal trap had been closed, there was no prey. Abel squatted down and touched the teeth of the teeth. There was blood.
This was definitely not a beast. Although Abel didn't know what had triggered the trap, with the intelligence and ability of a beast, it would be very difficult for it to break free from the trap without the help of a hand. If it was a powerful beast, it would have destroyed the trap instead of forcibly opening it like this.
