Chapter 345: Bare Bow Making, Traditional Beauty Hunting!(4k, Ask for a Ticket!)
Put in good chicken food.
Lu Yu checked the nearby elastic trap again.
The turkey is a big one, and the lightest one weighs 7 or 8 kilograms.
When the time comes, if the prey is allowed to escape because the branches do not bear the weight well.
That's more than worth the loss.
Tsai carefully tried the branches to make sure that they were correct, and then Lu Yu returned to the camp the same way.
"The control of the bouncy trap is definitely one of the best in all hunting traps. β
"The only drawback is the lack of lethality, but it is precisely this drawback that makes it the best choice for catching birds alive. β
"When a turkey is hit, it doesn't kill immediately, so it gives us enough time to react and catch them and keep them in captivity. β
"There are so many benefits of keeping turkeys in captivity, and you don't need to explain much, everyone should be able to understand them. As long as it is successful, the food problem is no longer a problem. β
With chicken food as bait, catching a turkey alive becomes much easier.
When the time comes, the captured turkeys are kept in captivity.
Used as a long-term supply.
It's just not too cool.
Not only can it greatly reduce the pressure of survival, but also make the source of food more abundant.
At the very least, the source of protein is no longer stretched.
You must know that captive turkeys, in addition to enjoying delicious chicken, poultry eggs are also a lot of income.
Turkey eggs are very nutritious and rich in high-quality protein.
Eggs contain 12.7 grams of protein per 100 grams.
Two eggs contain roughly the same amount of protein as 3 taels of fish or lean meat!
In addition, the content of various beneficial mineral elements in turkey eggs is also the highest in all types of poultry eggs.
Eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs and quail eggs all contain about 60 mg of calcium, but turkey eggs can reach about 100 mg, which is very close to the calcium content of cow's milk.
So, no matter how you look at it, captive turkeys are a sure-fire business.
"Don't worry about the traps for now, wait until the evening, let's come back and have a look, maybe there will be a surprise waiting for us at that time. β
"Again, hunting, patience is required. β
The moment the words fell.
The camp is also close at hand.
By this time, it was close to noon.
After returning to the hut, Lu Yu casually ate some dried fish and drank some coconut water.
The dried fish doesn't taste good.
The taste is extremely poor.
The fishy smell is particularly strong.
It's no different from eating raw fish.
Drinking a sip of coconut water, the taste in his mouth really made Lu Yu unforgettable for life.
But it can't be helped, smoking and drying is by far the only way to extend the shelf life of food.
Some eat, it's better than nothing.
......
Finished lunch.
Lu Yu lay on the bed and rested for a while, then got up and went to the vegetable garden.
The condition in the farmland, everything is good.
Some of the stems have even sprouted.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu immediately pulled the camera closer.
The many details of the roots and seedlings were shown to the audience:
"Look. β
"After careful cultivation during this time, some of the stems have already sprouted. β
"At this rate, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be able to take root, and by that time, we will be able to remove these sticks......"
The emergence of cassava is definitely good news.
It not only solves the big problem, but also verifies the feasibility of wilderness farming.
attracted a lot of applause from the audience:
β666οΌβ
"Oh yes!"
At first, I thought that Feather God was just making a show, but I didn't expect it to be a real success!"
"The landlord's family finally has a surplus of grain?"
"Big Lords of the Pacific!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
......
In such a place, crops can be successfully cultivated, which many viewers did not expect.
Although this farmland looks like that, no one knows how feasible it is.
However, when I saw it today, everyone was convinced of it.
Farming with bare hands in the wilderness is really too hardcore......
The growth of the farmland is gratifying, and Lu Yu is even relieved in his heart.
It's not in vain.
Now, now that the stems have emerged, the problems I was worried about before have become floating clouds.
Next, as long as you pay attention to protection and water properly, there is no big problem.
Wild cassava, unlike other crops, is nowhere near as pretentious as it seems.
The vitality is extremely tenacious.
Even if you don't take care of it, the maturity rate is impressive.
And this.
It is also one of the important reasons why it is called the strongest carb in the wilderness.
......
Left the vegetable garden.
Lu Yu stood in front of the thatched hut and looked forward to it for a while before he said slowly:
"When I was hunting turkeys, it would be nice to have a bow in my hand, at least it wouldn't be so troublesome. Although it succeeded in the end, if it was in a similar situation, it would not be stable enough to rely only on stone spears. β
"Besides, in a few days, we will set off for the hinterland, and if we don't have a long-range weapon in our hands, we will definitely not be able to. β
"So, while you have time now, it's better to make a hunting bow on the spot to improve your combat effectiveness. β
"With the hunting bow and the stone spear, we can basically walk sideways on this island, even if we meet the guy from the previous night, we can still fight. β
While speaking, Lu Yu slowly walked to the front of the slope house.
In a pile of firewood, pick and choose.
It seems that they are looking for the materials they need to make bows and arrows.
"The bow and arrow is the most terrible lethal weapon in the Cold Weapon Age, and its history can be traced back to the late Paleolithic Age. β
"China is the first country in the world to invent bows and arrows, and the fishing and hunting tribes at that time, in the process of long-term hunting, have learned to gradually transform their hunting tools, so bows and arrows came into being. β
"In the beginning, they fought wild beasts with their bare hands, then they learned to throw stones and clods, and then they discovered that the elasticity of branches and sticks could be used to catapult objects, and over time, they invented bows, and like thisβ"
During the explanation, Lu Yu finally found a very good walnut stick in the pile of wood.
It is more than one meter long and no wider than the palm of your hand.
The cross-sectional pattern is beautiful.
The quality is not bad either.
Crucially, the elastic tensile force also meets the requirements.
Putting the plank in front of him, Lu Yu squatted down and picked up a small pebble.
Immediately after that, hold the stick in your left hand and place your right hand and the stone on top.
When he was ready, he pulled hard, and then instantly released all his power and shot the stone bullet.
Whooshββ!
The stones flew far away.
Eventually, it disappeared into the jungle below the camp.
"Of course, it's not just bows and arrows. β
This is where the inspiration for the slingshot and catapult all came from. I have to say, isn't the wisdom of human beings very powerful...... Just a small wooden stick can play so many tricks. β
"After the advent of bows, arrows were invented to increase their power. β
"Use a stick or bamboo pole to cut the shaft into a certain length, and sharpen it at one end to make the arrow. At that time, stone chips, bones, or shells were sharpened into sharp shapes, mounted on one end of the arrow, and arrows with stone, bone, or shells were made, which was a big step forward from arrows sharpened with sticks and bamboo poles......"
"Later, with the advent of firearms, this cold weapon gradually faded from our field of vision, and it is not until today that you have the opportunity to see how a primitive hunting bow was built. β
After making a joke.
Lu Yu pulled out the stone knife from his waist.
Cut off all the excess branches from the sticks and peel off the bark.
Prepare to use this peach wood to polish a traditional beauty hunt.
At this time, someone in the barrage asked, why don't you use bamboo as a bow?
Lu Yu smiled and said:
"Of course, bamboo bows can, they are tough and easy to deform. β
"Among them, the most representative are the Bhutanese bamboo bow and the island country and the bow, but compared with the wooden bow, the pull of the bamboo bow is much smaller, and it may not be long before it can meet the hunting needs. β
"Dry and sturdy wooden bows don't have such a problem. β
"Secondly, the production process of bamboo bows is also very complicated, if the details are not polished well, they will not be able to exert their due power at all, and to put it mildly, they may not even be as good as toys. Therefore, a traditional beauty hunt is the most cost-effective choice for me. β
After explaining, he took the peachwood stick and came to the campfire.
I picked up a small piece of charcoal.
Prepare to start by drawing the large size of the bow on a stick.
Then, while carving, he explained:
"Traditional beauty hunting belongs to the category of recurve bows, but don't get me wrong, this is different from the recurve compound bows and competitive recurve bows on the market, and it is not so complicated to make. β
"A recurve bow is actually a bare bow with the end of the bow arm bent outward. β
"In the Avengers, Hawkeye's bow is the recurve bow. β
"The advantage of a recurve bow is that it can store more power than a straight bow of the same size, making the arrows fired faster and more powerful. Back then, the Indians used this hunting bow to beat the European colonists to the ground......"
As he spoke, he drew a charcoal stick on the stick.
It didn't take long for a while.
Lu Yu sketched out the general shape of the bow and arrow on the log-colored wooden stick.
The whole bow looks slightly curved.
The end of the bow arm is slightly inverted.
The bow handle is slightly concave inward.
The shape is very beautiful.
With a large scale, the next workflow is much simpler.
Start with a stone axe to build a large one.
Chop off the excess.
Then, remove the centerline.
Use red-hot charcoal to melt the depressions in the handle and arm of the bow and the recurve of the arm of the bow.
These tasks seem to be not difficult.
But if it's practical.
It's not easy.
Without excellent manual skills, you can't do it at all.
And just the tool is enough of a headache.
Making a bow is a delicate job.
If you don't have the tools you need, it will definitely take a lot of time.
Right now, Lu Yu's hands are full of stone tools and cutting tools.
Although it is sharp enough, it is still not as good as iron.
So, he burned and sharpened it, and worked for nearly two hours to make the big shape of the bow.
Taking a breath, Lu Yu opened his palm and showed it to the audience.
The account and the root of the finger are full of blisters.
A few calluses have also fallen off.
It hurts so much.
"If I could, I'd really like to trade my entire net worth for a Swiss Army knife, shhhh
"However, the pain is worth it......"
Looking at the hunting bow in his hand, Lu Yu muttered with satisfaction: "Because I have a new weapon......
"Of course, that's not enough, the next step is to refine and grind to increase the grip and improve the precision. Walnut is very hard, and if you polish it with ordinary rough rock, it will definitely make you doubt life, so-"
"The best thing to do is to find a reef of the right thickness to deal with it. β
While speaking, Lu Yu looked left and right for a while.
Finally, a substandard reef was finally found at the stone statue.
"That's good. β
Standing upright, Lu Yu sat on the ground with his buttocks.
Holding the reef in one hand and the hunting bow in the other.
Grinding non-stop.
Prepare to polish out the details everywhere.
The reef in your hand is rougher than the average rock.
It is basically equivalent to 200 mesh sandpaper.
So, it's easy to polish.
Eats wood very much.
It didn't take long for the first results.
After polishing, the peach wood is a lot more delicate and smooth, and it is also very comfortable to the touch.
Soon.
Almost an hour later.
After some careful grinding, a beautiful traditional beauty hunt finally appeared in front of the audience.
At this time, the front of the stone statue was also covered with sawdust.
Dog's breakfast.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yu let out a long breath, shook his head with a wry smile, and then turned around and returned to the bonfire, ready to burn the string holes.
"We don't have any punching tools, so it's the same old rule, let's use charcoal. β
The string hole of the recurve bow is much more ingenious than the string card of the straight bow.
No special openings are required.
Just use charcoal to pierce the recurve of the bow arm.
There's nothing difficult about this.
After a while, after taking the appropriate size of charcoal, Lu Yu carefully placed it at the string hole and kept blowing to support the combustion.
It didn't take long for the red-hot charcoal to pierce through the ground and turn into a string hole.
As for the other side.
It is also the same as above.
Five minutes later.
Two string holes, done.
At this time, Lu Yu slowly stood up, picked up the hunting bow, and showed it in front of the camera.
Mei Hunt's style, there is nothing to say.
Very beautiful.
The streamlined bow body is just right.
The pattern of walnut is stable and generous.
The look and feel is excellent.
The chord holes are also of the right size.
It carries a lot of weight in your hand.
"Awesome, my brother!"
"Armor-Piercing Bow: Reduces enemy armor by 20%!"
β233333333β
"Brothers, to be honest, I feel that if you give Yushen a woman, he can create a country by himself, it's really awesome!"
"My hands seem to be useless except for eating!"
......
He looked at the bow arm in all directions.
After confirming that it was straight enough, Lu Yu had no intention of stopping.
Instead, he turned and went back to the hut.
I chose two pieces of bark rope that I had prepared before, and I was ready to make a bowstring.
"If you have a paracord in hand, that's the best option. β
"Unfortunately, I don't have that much of a high-end stuff right now, so I'm going to have to use bark rope instead. It doesn't matter, this thing is the same, it's just that the wear rate is relatively high, and it may not take long to replace it. β
"But the problem is not big, the material of the rope is still very easy to solve, there is hibiscus everywhere here, there is no need to be stingy at all, just use it boldly and boldly, anyway, it won't take long to rub a rope, it can be done in three or five minutes." β
Saying that, Lu Yu still followed the previous method, folded a piece of bark in half, turned it into two strands, and rubbed it together counterclockwise to form a twisted shape.
After that, he first threaded the fold of the double-strand bowstring into the string hole.
Then, pressing all the strength of his body on the bow arm, he pulled the other end of the bowstring, passed through another string hole, and tied a strong knot.
The bowstring was drawn.
The drone's camera moves slowly.
On the tight bowstring, back and forth.
At this time, in the macro picture of the live broadcast, you can even see the burrs on the bark rope.
In order to remove these burrs and increase the friction of the rope, Lu Yu grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground of the hut.
Rub your hands on the bowstring several times.
Makes it smoother.
When I got here, a well-made "traditional beauty hunt" was basically done.
......
Then.
Lu Yu knelt on one knee, picked up the hunting bow, and then filled it in an instant.
Feel the force.
It deserves to be a wooden bow.
It's really exciting!
70 pounds, to say the least!
"Well, that's good. β
"It's a lot of pull, at least 70 pounds! For me, it's enough for self-defense and hunting. β
"With the bow and arrow, my hunting mode can be officially opened. β
"Alright, brothers, let's make some bows and arrows and try how powerful they are!"
