Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 27 Making Bows and Spears

After resting for a while, Chen Xuan felt that part of his exhausted mental power had recovered, and his head didn't hurt much anymore.

After eating two more grilled fishes for dinner, he took the time to hit the road again.

Chen Xuan just wanted to find the gathering place of the survivors as soon as possible and join them.

Somewhat ironically, a day ago he still had the urge to take risks on the sea, but after experiencing the sound insanity, the seagull raid, and the two struggles on the verge of death, his enthusiasm for adventure was dispelled.

In today's environment, living comfortably is better than anything else.

Night fell quickly, and the sky tonight was still bright with moonlight.

But today his sleepiness was not so strong.

After what happened last night, Chen Xuan was now very alert.

He was always worried that the voice from yesterday would reappear again.

But if it did appear, how would he resist it?
Can the shelter of the raft be triggered again?

With this uneasy mood, his sleepiness was diluted a lot.

And he had already wasted too much time before, and now he had to redouble his efforts to get the time back.

Chen Xuan accelerated all the way forward.

During the break, he did two things by the way.

First, he expanded the system panel and took an inventory of his material resources.

【Current resources】：
"Wood": 23 units.

"Plant fiber": 146 units.

"Bioplastic": 30 units.

"Oil": 42 units.

The battle with the seagull consumed 8 units of his oil. Because Chen Xuan was reluctant to use seaweed oil, this part was consumed as fish oil. In addition, the combination of using the "Flame Whip" consumed another 10 units of plant fiber.

The other thing is to upgrade the weapon.

The previous battle made him vigilant. At present, he only has two attack methods, the knife and the "flame jet module", and these two have great flaws.

Although the combination of "flame whip" has been developed, this move consumes a lot of resources and mental power.

He needs to make some long-range weapons to make up for the lack of attack methods.

Chen Xuan plans to make a wooden gun and a bow to increase the attacking distance.

The gun is the longest weapon that can be held, known as the king of a hundred soldiers, and the bow is also the strongest long-range weapon in the cold weapon era.

Although he has never used these two weapons before, at least he made them first before thinking about sharpening them.

Now there is no metal, so we can only make a wooden gun, and the wooden gun is very simple to make. You only need to make a piece of wood of appropriate thickness, and then sharpen the top. This can be done with a wooden knife.

But this is not enough, it is better to increase the sharpness of the gun head through some methods.

The harder materials he currently has on hand include salmon teeth and seagull teeth, both of which can be embedded in the head of a gun to increase its lethality.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Xuan still decided to use the beak of a seagull.

He has really seen the great lethality of the seagull's beak, a fish with thick thighs can be directly bitten off, and a raft that has been hit hard is also pecked out a big hole.

He is looking forward to what kind of power the wooden gun can explode after adding the beak of a seagull.

The seagull was dragged onto the raft by him before and placed under the mast, and its body was already completely cold at this moment.

This mutated seagull is about half a meter long.Most of its beautiful white feathers have been charred black, and only a small part has survived.The original sapphire-like big eyes were also burnt out, leaving only one intact.

Chen Xuan directly picked up the wooden knife and cut off the bird's beak with a single stroke, and took the dark yellow beak.

A cold, hard feeling came, as if what he was holding was a piece of cold iron.

The rest of the seagull was temporarily put aside by him. Although he was very interested, it was not convenient for him to study the seagull carefully under the moonlight.

There is a gap in the middle of the bird's beak, so he can easily insert the sharpened wooden gun. In this way, the prototype of the wooden gun is completed.

It's just that the wooden gun looks very funny now.

If the stick had been shorter, it would have looked almost as if he was about to make a fire to skewer the bird's beak.

Chen Xuan really couldn't bear to read more, so he quickly chose to use system optimization.

A yellow light bloomed in front of his eyes.

"It's actually a yellow light, why is it different from the previous ones?"

Chen Xuan was surprised for a while.

In the past, no matter whether the "manual expert module" or the raft was upgraded and repaired, they all emitted white light.

This is the first time that other colors of light have appeared.

How could this be?
Is it because of the addition of a mutated beak?

Not only that, but the item optimization time was also longer than he thought.

According to his estimation, with the efficiency of the system, maybe three to five minutes should be enough.But it may have been 5 minutes now, and the yellow light still hasn't dimmed, and the "wood" and "plant fibers" in the space, including "oil", are also continuously decreasing.

He had to start making bows first.

The bow is the oldest type of projectile weapon.

It is composed of elastic bow arms and flexible bow strings. When the force accumulated during the process of pulling the string and stretching the bow is released in an instant, the arrow or projectile buckled on the bow string can be shot to a distant target.

When he was a child, he also picked up wooden sticks left over from skewers on the road and made very miniature bows.

Bows are much more complicated to make than guns, and the materials used are more sophisticated. The stronger the material, the more powerful the bow.

But Chen Xuan now only has wood and plant fibers as materials.

First of all, Chen Xuan made a slightly curved wooden stick with appropriate length and thickness through the system.

If you are an ordinary person, this step must be done by bending the wood through fire. If you don't pay attention, it will break, which is much more difficult.

Then he cut grooves on both sides with a knife, and tied them tightly with a rope, so that the prototype of the bow was completed.

The current bow can actually be used, but because Chen Xuan's bowstring is not very tight, its range will not be too far, and it is basically not lethal.

After making a bow, it must be equipped with arrows, so that it is complete.

This can be done with wood, nothing more than a sharpened stick.

It's just that if there is no tail feather, the range and accuracy of the arrow will be greatly affected.

Chen Xuan looked at the previous mutated seagull, which only had a small part of its feathers still usable.

This meant that arrows with tail feathers were a luxury item.

However, considering that there is one more weapon at the moment, and his own protection will also be improved, Chen Xuan directly pulled out all the available feathers, and then made them into feather arrows, a total of 15.

In addition, he made 30 wooden arrows without tail feathers.

Then he handed over the prototypes of the made bow and arrow to the system optimization.

Including the wooden gun, a total of 3 units of wood and 10 units of plant fiber are consumed.

The bow was quickly optimized.

"The wooden bow has been optimized for the first time, increasing the accuracy of the effect! (To a certain extent, the shooting angle has been corrected to improve the hit rate.)"

The effect of precision is very good. Originally, Chen Xuan was still worried that he must not be able to aim because he had never learned archery, but the bonus of precision might help him master the shooting method faster.

Perhaps it is not a dream to walk through Yang with a hundred steps.

However, before Chen Xuan had time to look at the bow that had just been optimized, the system immediately presented a prompt that he did not expect.

"Item optimization types have reached 10 times, unlocking module upgrade progress, the current progress is 10%."

He was startled.

Can the manual expert module be upgraded?
