Chapter 679: True Craftsman (Subscription Requested)

Chen Xu's original plan was to use hard plants such as old bamboo, but if he couldn't find it, he could only grind a few darts with stones.

Although this is time-consuming, it is much better than "bald plugging".

You must know that none of the creatures that can grow up to three meters long are fuel-efficient lamps, either the skin is thick in the stratum corneum, or the scales are hard.

Without a sharp dart head, it is generally difficult to cause effective kills.

And Chen Xu didn't have any iron weapons on him, only a mountain knife and a tracker.

The latter can barely be thrown in the open field, such as in Kruger, where he used the tracker as a dart and killed a Town's gazelle.

But you know, the situation at that time was that the Tang gazelle herd was standing very densely, the target was large, and he was throwing it in the open air, and the air resistance of the pike was almost negligible.

Hunting creatures in the water is different, the target is independent, it is difficult to aim, plus it is thrown into the water, and it is very resistant to the current, if the shape of the shuttle dart is not smooth, it is easy to empty the dart.

Therefore, what Chen Xu needs is a shuttle dart that meets the streamlined standard, and there is more than one, and there must be multiple hands to prepare, just in case!

"That's it!"

Chen Xu grinned, then picked up the mountain knife in his hand and began to chop at the rhizome of the cycad.

Click!

With a chopping sound, not to mention, the previously invincible military BTK mountain opener, when it arrived here, it only left a mark of less than two millimeters on the skin of the cycad.

Not to mention that this is a top-of-the-line military field knife, it is also a system purple quality equipment, which is endowed with extra sharpness.

Although the mountain knife is not as strong as the real axe, only such a small cut is enough to show the hardness of the cycad!

Fortunately, because it is a purple quality equipment with its own slow recovery attribute, Chen Xu doesn't care whether it will roll the blade or not, anyway, it will repair itself after leaving the map, so there is no need to feel distressed.

So, after chopping with all his might, he finally cut off a piece of cycadwood.

Looking at the white wooden core exposed inside, Chen Xu pulled out the tracker again, cut it a few times along the chop, cut out a piece of wooden core, and said: "I also told you this before, the wooden core of cycads contains a lot of starch, and it is very soft, which is an excellent source of food supplements. ”

"I was worried that there was no food in the morning, but now I have it!"

Cutting down cycad wood took him half an hour.

After returning to the palm bamboo, because of the previous experience, cutting this again is as easy as drinking plain water.

It's almost two-cut, very easy.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning Indonesian time, Chen Xu sat by the fire in front of the shelter, adding a lot of incendiary materials to make the fire bright.

"The reason why the spears used by primitive tribes for hunting can be fired at all times depends on skillful skills on the one hand, and on the other hand, the accuracy of weapons, which is the same as the firearms of thermal weapons. ”

"All objects that are related to aiming have a hard requirement, that is, straight! Because the line of sight is straight, no one will turn and aim, so it is very important to have a straight shuttle dart. ”

In the process of Chen Xu's explanation to the audience, the fire has been rekindled.

So, he picked up one of the palm bamboos.

"As you can see, this palm bamboo is not so straight, and there is a curved part in the middle, but we can soften the bamboo body and re-shape it by roasting it and using high temperatures!"

As he spoke, he put the palm bamboo into the fire and demonstrated it to everyone himself.

After roasting on the scorching outer flame for dozens of seconds, the green bamboo stems were obviously a little blackened.

At this time, Chen Xu hurriedly took out the palm bamboo, put it on the ground, stepped on one end, held the other side with both hands, and gently broke it at the opposite angle of the bending direction.

"The method is very simple, use the residual heat of the roasting heat and adjust the angle slightly. ”

After saying this, Chen Xu took out the palm bamboo, put it flat in his hand, and glanced at it with his eyes to see if the correction was in place.

For him, with lv4 tool making skills, he can cope with these things.

Ten minutes passed, and there were six palm bamboos, all of which he had roasted and straightened with fire.

"The rest is the dart head, which is also very simple, but it requires patience, because the cycad is hard, and it is difficult to cut the desired shape with a knife alone, so our dart head must be as simple as possible while ensuring lethality. ”

"Secondly, we not only have to use a knife to cut, but we can also use fire to soften it, and then put it on the stone like iron, so that it will be easier to plasticize!"

So, Chen Xu also demonstrated to the audience again.

He used the tracker to cut a whole piece of cycad wood into five pieces, and then roughly cut out the shape of the darthead.

He chose a triangular dart head that resembled a bow and arrow.

This dart head is the easiest to make, because the shape is simple, and the lethality is also large, because it is triangular, once pierced into the body, the degree of wound cracking will be greater than a single cone stab.

In the next forty minutes.

Chen Xu carefully cut with a knife, then picked up the dart heads with a wooden clip, roasted them in the fire in turn, and polished them on the stone.

Hard work pays off.

At the end of forty minutes, he made five exquisite charcoal-black arrow-shaped pike darts and darts in this way.

In the end, Chen Xu inserted the base reserved by the dart head into the air hole of the palm bamboo, and then used the bark to wrap it repeatedly in the outer layer, tied it to death, and a shuttle dart gun was completed!

"I give full marks for this hands-on ability!"

"Nima, this is the spirit of craftsmanship, a real folk craftsman!"

"If this dart goes down, it will not die or be crippled!"

"A little cold came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon!"

made five shuttle darts and a fishing rod in a row, and Chen Xu also spent a lot of energy.

Fortunately, after eating the cycad wood core and resting for a while, he recovered a lot.

At 10 o'clock in the morning in Indonesia, Chen Xu put on his backpack, put all the shuttle darts and fishing rods along the latch, inserted them into the bag, and began to set off towards the river with a mountain knife in one hand.

At this moment.

The audience looked at Xu Ye's appearance, like a jungle hunter with primitive weapons on his back, how handsome and handsome he was.

After about six or seven minutes, he came to the river again.

It's been two hours since the end of the rainstorm, and the water level of the river is not exaggerated.

Chen Xu glanced at the bottom of the river, then at the upstream, and finally spoke: "The water level downstream is so low, it is difficult to have large-scale biological activities, we have to go upstream to have a look!"

In fact, there is another factor for him to consider when he chooses upstream.

When you return the same way, you can make a simple raft and float down the river, which can save a lot of effort and time.
