Chapter 592 Making Bows and Arrows
Bow and arrow is a long-range weapon with a sharp edge fired from a bow in ancient times.The bow consists of elastic bow arms and flexible bowstrings; arrows include arrowheads, arrow shafts and arrow feathers.

It has to be said that although the distance between early humans was far apart, magical things such as bows and arrows appeared in both ancient Asia and Europe.

The early people still had no way to communicate at that time, but some very similar utensils appeared, and bows and arrows were one of them.

The invention and improvement of bows and arrows enabled people to accurately and effectively kill prey at a long distance, and it was easy to carry and use, and many arrows could be prepared for continuous shooting.If any tool and weapon is an extension of the human hand, then the bow and arrow can be regarded as the greatest extension of the human hand before the birth of firearms.

Engels said: "Bows and arrows are to the age of savagery what iron swords are to the age of barbarism and firearms are to the age of civilization. They are even decisive weapons." Such an evaluation of bows and arrows is still insufficient.

The invention of bows and arrows has an important role in human civilization. After bows and arrows, human long-range attack weapons are mainly various throwing objects.

Throwing objects such as stones, javelins, etc., have a natural deficiency in comparison with bows and arrows.

That is, the route of the thrown object is a parabola. Only a very well-trained hunter can control the distance and strength of this parabola, which is quite difficult.

But bows and arrows are different. To a large extent, they are in a straight line. The ancients can guarantee to shoot their prey after a short period of training. This is very important and improves the efficiency of hunting.

At the same time, bows and arrows can prepare many arrows, shoot continuously, and require less strength for the human body than throwing objects.

Of course, this smallness is only relative. In ancient China, it was not easy for a soldier to become an archer. First of all, there was an innate requirement, that is, arm strength.

Ancient archers generally had a standard. If you want to be an archer, you must be able to draw a stone bow.

The so-called one-stone bow refers to hanging a weight of one hundred catties on the bowstring, so that the whole bow can be fully drawn. This is a one-stone bow.

Of course, those who can pull the five-stone bow are those who belong to fierce generals with different talents, very few.

Later, bows and crossbows appeared, which is just a change. However, bows and crossbows also have their own inherent shortcomings. First of all, there is no way to projectile. You must know that projectile is an important means for ancient infantry to fight against cavalry and defend the city.

Then there is the small range, which is a bit similar to the small Japanese submachine guns during the Anti-Japanese War, with various defects.

This is also the reason why Han Yi learns bow and arrow instead of bow and crossbow, because Han Yi can't guarantee that crossbow arrows have the power to pass through the skin of prey, and it is also more troublesome to make. Anyway, archery is not too big a problem for Han Yi, so Han Yi Just learn bow and arrow.

Han Yi's bow this time is a one-stone bow. In fact, if it is calculated accurately, it should be [-] stone bows. This is a range that Han Yi thinks is more appropriate.

Now Han Yi is concentrating on making his own pruning branches on the ground. As for the arrow shaft, there is no need to look for it. The best thing to use here is bamboo.

Han Yi used all the tools he could use now to try to cut the bamboo as straight as possible. If the shaft of the arrow is not straight, hunting and aiming will become a big problem in the future.

As for the arrowheads, the best is to use metal arrowheads, although flint sharpening can make really sharp arrowheads.

However, Han Yi didn't have these two things. For Flint, he might be able to find it if he looked for it, but Han Yi didn't plan to look for it.

First of all, the flint may not be found. Even if it is found, there is still a very serious problem, that is, how to make arrows, which is also a technical job.

Han Yi definitely couldn’t make flints into arrows by knocking. The most important issue is mass production. It is impossible for Han Yi to make only one arrow, so using flints is also unreliable.

Therefore, the method Han Yi uses is to directly sharpen the front end of the bamboo and then quench it.

"Han Yi, you still look alike!" Li Yapeng came over at this time, picked up a few arrows that Han Yi put on the ground and said.

"It just looks like it. It's not certain whether the hunt will be successful in the future!" Han Yi shrugged and said.

"Just try it later!"

"En!" Saying that, Han Yi took the arrow and prepared to quench it.

But after a while:
"oops!"

"Han Yi, what's the matter?"

"No, it's just that it hasn't been quenched. I don't understand. This arrow is considered scrap!"

Looking at the burned arrow in his hand, Han Yi said with a bit of distress.

"Then try a few more times!" Xiong Dailin said indifferently.

"After trying several times, this is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do. I carefully made every pruning. It is not easy!" Han Yi still felt sorry for the scrapped one. arrow.

"Then what can you do, don't you quench it?"

"It's okay without quenching, but this can't guarantee its hardness, I have to think of other ways!"

"Then you think about it!" Then Li Yapeng and Xiong Dailin went on to do their own things. What they had to do this morning was to pave the top of the shed with palm leaves and use tarpaulins as the roof all the time. This is not the case either. a thing.

"What should I do? The purpose of quenching is to reduce the moisture inside and increase the hardness. It cannot be baked on the fire. How should I deal with it?"

Han Yi frowned, touched the arrow with one hand, and rubbed it back and forth. At this moment, he suddenly felt his fingers were a little hot.

"Aha, yes!" After feeling the temperature of his hand, Han Yi was very happy, but he couldn't put it on the fire, so he used rubbing to remove the moisture inside.

Just do it, Han Yi found a more suitable place, and then began to experiment.

Of course, although this method will not burn the pruning, it has paid for my physical strength, and this friction is to pay for my physical strength.

As I said before, survival is a matter of energy. If Han Yi can't catch the prey in the future, then Han Yi will not gain anything from his efforts this time. This will be a very serious problem!
When Han Yi was making bows and arrows, the three people who went out to search also encountered a situation that they had never thought of...
