025, a thousand threads for strings
To make a longbow, Wei Shaoyu naturally didn't learn it.
But after eliminating those complicated crafts, as long as a person of normal intelligence can make an improvising longbow, how difficult can it be?
A bow is nothing more than a bowstring with a bowbow.
There are already options for bowstrings, all that is needed is a tough, bouncy bow body.
Isn't bamboo the first choice?
Wei Shaoyu naturally knows that although bamboo is tough, it has not been processed, and the degree of toughness is limited.
The force of the bow is the kinetic energy formed by the force generated by the deformation of the bow body, and the reaction force amplified by the deformation of the bowstring, which is used to propel the arrow.
If the bow is too short, it will be too rigid, and if it is too rigid, it will be easy to break.
So Wei Shaoyu chose to make a longbow.
I cut off a straight bamboo about one meter five or six pieces, split it vertically into four petals, took out one of them, and began to polish it.
From coarse to fine, from thick to thin.
Wei Shaoyu used animal claws to process and polish, while testing the toughness and load-bearing limit of bamboo.
The test results were quite impressive.
When the bamboo slice was cut to a certain thickness, Wei Shaoyu directly broke the bamboo into a 30-degree angle, and the bamboo began to click and crack, and the fibers began to break.
And with this thickness, Wei Shaoyu felt that his strength was already very sufficient, and even he would have a little difficulty if he needed to pull this bow full.
The most important thing is that it is enough to shoot a rabbit, and you can shoot through it with one arrow!
Wei Shaoyu hurriedly processed all the remaining three bamboos to this thickness, and then returned to the shelter in the twilight sunset.
Kwon so-sun went to the beach, probably to catch crabs again.
Wei Shaoyu went directly to the black widow with the fluctuation of mental power.
"Dora, how is the job? ”
Since the former Wei Shaoyu finished instructing, the black widow began to silently prepare spider silk.
Between the two branches, it not only overlaps the spider silk back and forth, but also directly weaves it into a strand.
Each of the spider silks is much thinner than a human hair, twisted together one by one, and the diameter is already two millimeters thick, at least hundreds or even thousands of spider silks.
These spider silks are naturally not something that can be made in a while, and Black Widow needs to constantly replenish energy and secrete and synthesize, which is not hard for Black Widow who wants to perform and speed up.
Wei Shaoyu followed his spiritual power to find it, and saw the black and bright spider silk bowstring at a glance.
"Wow go!"
Wei Shaoyu couldn't help but step forward and slowly brushed the bowstring with his hand, and flicked it with his hand, and the muffled buzzing sound showed its strong tenacity.
Black Widow also made no secret of her pride.
In the entire spider world, the spider silk of the black widow spider is the toughest, at least twice the strength of ordinary spider silk.
What's more, after eating so many fruits, Black Widow's spider silk has already mutated, and its strength has risen to a new level, so it has the capital to be proud.
After Wei Shaoyu's research, there are four kinds of improvements that the fruit of the white tree can bring to animals.
The first is a rapid increase in intelligence.
The second is that the animal's own ability will be amplified, and the amplification is not limited, it may be two or three.
The third is to be able to transfer part of the ability to Wei Shaoyu, so that Wei Shaoyu has one more "skill".
The fourth is that he will continue to have a closer and closer spiritual connection with Wei Shaoyu.
This fourth type is very different from intellectual growth, and it is not enough to simply be able to communicate.
For example, today's lioness, when she complained that the dried fish was eaten and Quan Xiushan went to snatch the dried fish from the lion's mouth, her actions obviously anticipated the actions of the two, and she may even understand Wei Shaoyu's words.
This means that when Wei Shaoyu says others, the lion may be able to understand, and even the two can communicate.
But if a wall is placed between Wei Shaoyu and the lion, then the two will immediately disconnect communication, because once they lose each other's vision, the two parties will not be able to communicate at all.
But with the Psychic connection, it's different.
Even if Wei Shaoyu was sitting in the house barbecue, the black widow more than ten meters away saw something from mid-air, she could inform Wei Shaoyu as soon as possible, and even describe what she saw to Wei Shaoyu through mental fluctuations.
That's how important spiritual connection is.
And Black Widow's spider silk obviously belongs to the second type, the improvement of ability, this spider silk is not only beautiful, but also full of toughness.
Wei Shaoyu suddenly sighed, on the empty cobweb, the black widow looked lonely.
Slowly squatting down, Wei Shaoyu stretched out a finger in front of the black widow.
The black widow was obviously stunned for a moment, and her legs tentatively rested on Wei Shaoyu's fingers, and after confirming that Wei Shaoyu wanted it to climb on her hands, she slowly climbed onto Wei Shaoyu's fingers.
"Good work, Dora. ”
Wei Shaoyu bared his snow-white teeth and showed a brightest smile.
This is the first time he has directly touched Black Widow with his skin, and a strong sense of trust and identity is passed back and forth between one person and one spider.
Subsequently, Wei Shaoyu felt that the black widow's mental fluctuations were disordered for a while, probably because of the empathy for the spiritual connection, and Wei Shaoyu's nose was sour for no reason.
"It's okay in the future, you can stay in my hair for a while, you can catch it. ”
Wei Shaoyu pulled away his somewhat messy hair and threw the black widow on it.
I didn't use shampoo for a few days, my hair was dry and hard, and I still had to scratch it, and as soon as I went in, I was covered in my hair like a prison and stuck in the middle......
Feeling the whining from the black widow, Wei Shaoyu laughed evilly.
The bowstring made of spider silk was removed and tied to the bow made of himself, and a longbow was completed.
Wei Shaoyu tried the bow, and a dull humming sound echoed, Wei Shaoyu couldn't hear whether it was good or bad, he could only feel that it was not small.
Now it's just a matter of arrows.
Wei Shaoyu felt that this was more troublesome than bows and arrows, and it was a consumable.
While pondering, there were mental fluctuations from Sparta and the ants on the ground.
They turned out to be envious of the Black Widow and demanded equal treatment.
Wei Shaoyu had a chill.
Isn't this, the top ant is not alive yet.
Wei Shaoyu immediately refused.
The ants didn't say a word, they climbed directly onto Wei Shaoyu's trouser leg, grabbing Wei Shaoyu's trouser leg one by one and crying.
"Alright, stop howling, get to work. ”
Dragging an ant with a trouser leg, Wei Shaoyu took out a thick straight log from the pyre.
He had already figured out that arrows were consumables and needed to be made a lot.
As long as you make the original shape of an arrow, you have to hand over the finishing to Sparta, and you need to prepare the arrow feathers.
Feathers are definitely not available, so arrow feathers can only be replaced with leaves, trying to imitate the shape of feathers, and they may be easily damaged, so you may have to replace them after a few times.
But this is also no way, in this wilderness, to be able to make a bow and arrow, Wei Shaoyu is already thankful.
Although the sky was getting darker and darker, Wei Shaoyu and the ants were in full swing and began to make arrows overnight.
