86. Upgrade crossbow arrows
Under Yan'er's interrogation, Chen Zhe told all the materials of the various structures of the crossbow, and when he heard this, Mr. Meng, who had been questioning Chen Zhe before, was finally speechless.
Another teacher Xiao slapped his hands and laughed, and said approvingly: "Look, I'm right, right? I said that Chen Zhe must know the bow and crossbow very well, so he can create such a powerful crossbow." ”
The host, Zhu Ranran, tilted his head and asked, "Teacher Xiao, what do you think of Chen Zhe's selection of materials for making crossbows?"
Teacher Xiao said with a smile: "Chen Zhe's selection of materials is very smart, and it can be said that he has made the best quality crossbow with limited resources......
Crossbow arms and crossbows aside, if you look at his choice of bowstring - he actually thought of using wolf tendons to make a bowstring, which is very witty.
Our ancient bows, crossbows and other bowstrings generally used cow tendons, but there was no cow tendon on the island, so Chen Zhe used wolf tendon instead, which shows that his thinking is very flexible and not rigid at all. ”
Zhu Ranran suddenly realized after listening to it, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Teacher Xiao for your explanation." It seems that Chen Zhe is really a skilled craftsman, of course, this also proves that this cross crossbow was not given to him by our program team in the dark, but made by himself. ”
Her words actually secretly teased Teacher Meng who was sitting next to her.
Of course, Teacher Meng also heard that Zhu Ranran's words were thorny.
But he was first slapped in the face by Chen Zhe, and then ridiculed by netizens, even if he was full of resentment, he didn't dare to attack easily now.
The only thing I can do is to continue to watch the live broadcast with a straight face.
……
On the island.
After watering the cherry tomatoes planted in the ground, Yan'er immediately went to pack up Chen Zhe's hares and pheasants, and prepared to cook a barbecue at noon.
Chen Zhe looked at these two pieces of loot, and his heart was full of calculations.
"It's another hare, the rabbit skin can be peeled off in a while, and together with the rabbit skin from last time, it should be able to sew a piece of clothing. Chen Zhe muttered.
Yan'er smiled when she heard this: "It's just two little rabbits, they don't have much fur in total, what clothes can they sew?"
"The lining worn inside, of course. Chen Zhe said, "There is only one set of clothes given by the program team, even if the two of us take a bath frequently, but the clothes will always be the same, which is not conducive to personal hygiene...... The outer clothes are fine, but the close-fitting clothes must be made again. ”
Only then did Yan'er understand, and suddenly said: "If it is used as an inner lining to wear inside, then the fur of these two rabbits is enough." ”
Chen Zhe nodded, and then turned his gaze to the pheasant next to the hare.
"Yan'er, keep the chicken feathers of this pheasant for me, don't burn them. Chen Zhe said.
"Huh?" Yan'er was curious, "Brother Xiao Chen, what can chicken feathers do?"
"Guess what. Chen Zhe asked with a smile.
"Hmm......" Yan'er narrowed her eyes, thought carefully for a while, and then her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "I know, make a feather duster!"
Hearing this answer, Chen Zhe laughed directly.
Seeing Chen Zhe smiling back and forth, Yan'er was ashamed and annoyed: "What's wrong...... Am I guessing so far?"
Chen Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Silly girl, we only have a big bed at home, and we don't have any furniture, and we rarely clean up, what am I doing as a feather duster?"
"What's that?" asked Yan'er with a pout, her little face full of confusion.
Chen Zhe smiled and revealed the answer: "Be an arrow feather." ”
"Arrow feathers?" Yan'er was stunned for a moment, but after careful pondering, she realized, "It's the tail feathers of the crossbow arrow, right?"
"Yes. Chen Zhe nodded, "Arrow feathers can help the crossbow arrow maintain balance and maintain straight line flight, thereby increasing the accuracy and range of the crossbow, don't look at it inconspicuous, but it is very important." ”
"So that's ......" As soon as Yan'er heard this, she immediately began to pluck chicken feathers seriously, trying to maintain the integrity of each chicken feather.
After pulling it out for a while, Yan'er suddenly raised her head and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, with the crossbow, can we fight against the wolves?"
Ever since Clark brought the news of the wolves, Yan'er has been on the lookout for these terrifying beasts.
"Let's just say that. Chen Zhe nodded and said, "But it's not enough to have a crossbow, we still need to build some fortifications." ”
"Fortifications?" Yan'er was a little confused, "What kind of fortifications?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Chen Zhe deliberately sold a pass.
……
After Yan'er finished plucking the chicken feathers, Chen Zhe began to make crossbow arrows, although the simple crossbow arrows made from tree branches in the woods could hunt hares and pheasants, but the lethality was still limited after all.
Once encountering a more powerful enemy, such as a wolf pack, the power of the improvised crossbow bolt is greatly reduced, and it is impossible to even kill the target.
At this time, it is necessary to upgrade the crossbow arrow, for example, to add a tail feather to the crossbow arrow.
Chen Zhe picks out the strong, straight branches, cuts off the excess branches, sharpens the front end, and then splits the tail end.
Pheasant feathers are inserted into the split ends of the branches, reinforced with sap extracted from rubber bark, and an upgraded crossbow bolt is complete.
However, Chen Zhe's upgrade of the crossbow bolt was not completed, it was only his manual upgrade.
In addition, he can also use the system to upgrade, so that the upgraded crossbow bolts will be more powerful.
Picking up the homemade crossbow arrow in his hand, Chen Zhe stared at it.
"Let the system judge and see what level of crossbow bolts are this time. ”
Chen Zhe pondered in his heart, and then subtitles popped up in front of him:
[Item detected: One normal crossbow bolt.] 】
[Item current durability: 15/15.] 】
[Item value: 0.3 yuan.] 】
[Do you spend 10 popularity points to upgrade items?]
Seeing this scene, Chen Zhe was quite surprised.
"Huh, it's an ordinary crossbow bolt, this time it's finally not shoddy!"
In the past, some of the handmade products he made were often judged by the system to be "shoddy", but this time, although it was just an "ordinary", it always sounded much better than "shoddy".
Moreover, upgrading this crossbow arrow only costs 10 popularity, which is basically not a problem for Chen Zhe's current popularity reserves.
"Upgrade. ”
Chen Zhe silently made a decision in his heart, and then the crossbow arrow in his hand changed.
The arrows have become sharper and stronger, the body of the arrow has become straighter, and the tail feathers have a stronger connection with the body of the arrow, and the integrity is stronger.
[A normal crossbow bolt - upgrade - a sharp crossbow arrow. 】
Seeing this, Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, sharp crossbow arrows should be enough, I'm just using them to hunt wolves, not to fight enemies in armor, so I don't need to upgrade any further. ”
