Chapter 163 Bow and arrow making, archery practice
On the second day, Wang Wei finished his exercise.
Mei asked him to drink that special "fish soup", and he would never drink it again.
Mei felt it was a pity and said that Wang Wei wasted the food.
Wang Wei asked her to drink, and even if she took a sip, he would finish the rest.
However, Mei actually took a small sip, and Wang Wei had to finish the remaining "fish soup".
Fortunately, fresh goat milk was sent to the kitchen, and the goat milk that was boiled many times was basically free of bacteria.
Divide the goat's milk into four parts and let Mei and Su Xiaoxiao and the flowers be drunk.
Mei, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to drink it, and she felt it tasted.
Wang Wei forced them to help them, saying that they would drink whatever they wanted.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that the king made sense, so she pinched her nose and drank a small bowl.
Hua didn't say anything, and drank a small bowl of goat milk very obediently. She also had the courage to listen to what Wang Wei said, "Whatever you drink?"
Mei saw that everyone was drinking goat milk and thought it was not good not to drink it, so she drank the small bowl of goat milk.
Only Wang Wei drank the most, and he drank about a pound of goat milk and burped it.
He then stood against the brick wall and drew a horizontal line above his head with charcoal.
"Look, am I a little taller than the last time?"
Hua said in surprise: "Sure enough, she grew taller after drinking goat milk."
Wang Wei, Mei and Su Xiaoxiao both laughed at her as stupid as she was. How could she grow taller after drinking it?
In addition, Mei also told Wang Wei something.
"Ji Hao has been taking care of Xia Dazui last night. Is Ji Hao having something to do with Xia Dazui?"
Wang Wei didn't know this situation yet. It was originally what Fox Meizi should do, so why was Ji Hao replaced him?
"Maybe Xia Dazui saved Ji Hao, so Ji Haohao is the one who is good at Ji Haohao."
"No, you saved Ji Hao, why didn't Ji Hao be good to you?"
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Aren't you stopped me in the middle?"
"Well, it turns out you are the fault of me for stopping you and Ji Hao?"
"You are so careless. I'm happy for Xia Dazui. It's better if someone takes care of him than if no one takes care of him."
"Why didn't that fox girl go? It's not that they..."
Wang Wei shook his head, he didn't know either. Maybe Xia Dazui and Hu Meizi must have a knot in their hearts. He told Mei not to care too much, and he would ask Xia Dazui.
After walking out of the hut, he went to the ward for a walk. After seeing Xia Dazui, he felt that nothing was wrong, so he asked him to keep it well.
Then Wang Wei went to the construction team to see how the rattan armor and rattan helmet were made yesterday.
Since the Xia tribe has candles, it greatly increases the time for working at night. For example, a fishing net in the Xia tribe was made by women and the fish tribe and others using overtime at night; Xia Yu, Lao Zhuyu and several people who made weapons
A rattan helmet was made, and one piece of rattan armor was also made, and the other was animal leather armor.
Wang Wei asked Xia Yu to test first, what was wrong and needed to improve, etc.
He didn't have time to test because he had always thought about making bows and arrows yesterday.
There are several benefits to using bows and arrows, which are easy to carry, and have more arrows and a long range. If everyone in the Xia tribe could shoot arrows, the scene of hundreds of arrows falling from the sky was still very spectacular.
He found Xiahuo from the carpenter team, and the carpenter team temporarily stopped making canoes and was waiting for Wang Wei to arrive. They also wanted to know what the bow and arrow that the king said looked like.
Wang Wei first made a model for them, then explained it, and everyone began to prepare the materials and make them.
Simple bows and arrows can be made of hardwood or bamboo, but Wang Wei thinks that bamboo must also be made of different types. For example, the current bamboo in the Xia tribe is not a good choice, so he had to choose hardwood.
Wei did not use summer fire to prepare the pulverized wood, mainly because it has not dried in the shade and is still very raw.
He chose a piece of dry hardwood without dust and cracks, about one meter long, and the wood without knots as the bow.
Use twine to make bowstrings and attach feathers to the tail of the arrow to improve the breakdown force of the arrow and the stability and distance of the flight.
The arrows are ground with stones. If replaced with iron arrows, this will further enhance the lethality of the arrows.
The first bow was made simple and rough, and Wang Wei's test did not achieve the effect he was satisfied with, and the Xiahuo test did not satisfy everyone.
So Wang Wei decided to re-made a bow, and the newly made bow seemed a little more complicated.
Choose a 30 cm long and 4 cm thick hardwood, roughly cut into a curved crescent shape, and the arc should not be too large. Then choose a suitable wood to make a bow arm. The length of the wood is about 1 meter and the width is 4 cm.
The bow arm is made with a thickness of about 1 cm. The two ends of the bow arm are narrowed. The specific degree of narrowing depends on the tip of the bow, and the middle of the bow arm should also be narrowed. The specific degree depends on the handle.
Then make a bow, and the bow tip acts as a stabilizer to reduce the tremor of the bow body. Use a piece of wood of moderate size to form, and the bow tip is finally glued to the top of the bow arm to make the two sizes match.
After finishing the basics, you will use the fish bladder glue that Wang Wei has prepared long ago. In fact, wild boar skin can also be made into glue, but it is said that the effect is not very good.
Fish bladder glue is to dry the fish bubbles first and become a dried fish bladder. When making it, put the dried fish bladder in warm water until it is soft. After softness, cut it into small pieces, then steam it in a pot, and put it while it is hot.
Beat on the chopping board. During the pounding process, the temperature drops, steam and cook, and then continue to be beaten. After repeated many times, the fish bladder becomes thick gelatinous. You can heat and squeeze it on the filter cloth. At this time, the filtered gel can be
You can also wait for it to solidify and store it for later heating.
Combine the bow, the bow handle, and the bow arm. The bow handle is attached to the middle section of the bow arm, apply fish bladder glue on the fitting surface, and then wrap it tightly with a rope.
Then put the bow slightly and the bow arm together, apply fish bladder glue on the bonding surface, and then wrap it tightly with a rope. Next, wait for the glue to solidify.
After the glue solidifies, the bow is processed and the string begins to be wound.
If there is paint, apply the prepared bow arm to prevent the erosion of the frost and moisture.
I have heard of the saying that I need to train my bow before, but he has no time. Only after that, the development technology of the Xia tribe is stronger will he pay attention to more details.
Only such a more complex bow can be considered complete.
Wang Wei and others tested again and thought it was much better than the previous simple bow. The farthest distance could be shot to 100 meters, but it was too far without lethality at all. The most effective distance was about 60 meters.
Arrows are made of copper and iron, which is more lethal.
This is also because the Xia tribe did not reserve more experience and knowledge to make bows and arrows, and could only improve through continuous exploration.
In order to give Xia Huo's carpentry team a further understanding of the bow, he explained to them the structure of the bow, different types of bows, which materials and tools should be used to make them, etc.
It’s just that the tribe does not have those materials, Wang Wei can only say that they didn’t see the real thing, and it depends on themselves to understand it.
With the first bow and arrow, more bows and arrows can be made.
So for the whole morning, Wang Wei followed the carpenter team to make more than ten bows. Because the Xia tribe already used measurement tools, the size and length of these bows are the same, so their quality should be
It won't be too bad.
It just so happened that Hu Meizi came back from patrol with the logistics team, and she came to find him again, so Wang Wei gave them a bow and asked the hunting team to go out for practice together.
There are eight people in the women's logistics team, all of whom are tall and strong women in the Xia tribe.
Wang Wei still admired Fox Meizi's vision. These women are not worse than men. They may be worse in terms of endurance, but there is no big problem in patrolling the traps around the Xia tribe.
He handed the bow and the quiver made of bamboo tubes to Fox Meizi.
"Don't you want a weapon? There is no iron spear yet. I'll make bows and arrows for you."
"Is this bow and arrow better than an iron spear?"
"This is used for long attacks, and the iron spear is used for close attacks. Although the iron spear can also be thrown, it cannot be thrown far. And this bow and arrow are different."
They came to the woods outside the tribe, and in a slightly wider place, they targeted a section of tree trunk, and started the test shooting from standing thirty meters away.
They don't know how to use it for the first time.
Wang Wei taught them according to what he learned in the archery hall in his previous life. For example, when standing, you should spread your feet, aim at the target target with your left shoulder, hold the bow in your left hand, and then place the arrow on the left archer platform of the bow.
The tail groove is buckled on the bowstring. During the process of opening the bow, the eye, sight point and the aiming point on the target should be connected in a line. One hand pulls the string backward, and the other hand pushes the bow forward. The three fingers of the right hand quickly open, and the arrow will be
Ejaculated.
Thirty meters away, Wang Wei shot several arrows one after another.
Then he pointed them in the position of standing and holding bows and arrows.
Hu Meizi's breasts were too big, which affected Gongxian a little, and she also noticed this situation. She looked at Wang Wei helplessly, meaning that she couldn't blame her for this, and she didn't want to do this either.
Wang Wei thought it might be better to make tights for them.
He had no choice but to reorganize Hu Meizi's animal leather jacket and tighten it.
She stuck the groove behind the arrow on the bowstring, pulled the bow, and shot the arrow! Uh, the arrow fell...
Wang Wei thought that he knew that the power of the fox Meizi was very strong.
Hu Meizi was also surprised, and she was not sure.
Wang Wei felt that the grooves must not be stuck when shooting an arrow, which caused the arrow to be unstable. Try again! This time you must be stuck firmly to ensure that you do not take off the strings.
Fox Meizi pulled the bow and shot the arrow again, letting go! Alas? Why did the arrow shoot on the grass? Is there still a difference from the target?
The two of them looked at each other foolishly, unable to understand.
Try again, Wang Wei asked her to concentrate her strength on the string instead of on the arrow.
Let go! The arrow shot out! But it didn't hit the target.
But this time it's better. At least the arrow shot out is very far away, and you only need to practice accuracy.
Then Wang Wei also went to give guidance to other women and correct their postures.
When everyone felt that the practice was almost done, Wang Wei and they went to find prey, such as finding a rabbit that fell into a trap, and the rabbit that was trapped by a rope could not escape.
Chapter completed!
