Chapter 497: Qilin Arm (Subscription Requested)
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the scene became tense again.
To be honest, Chen Xu couldn't guess what it was, but he was sure that it wouldn't be a snake.
So, while crouching under the bushes, he quietly raised his head, constantly observing the direction from which the sound came.
After about ten seconds, another rustling sound came.
Chen Xu's eyes were sharp, and he quickly locked the other party's position.
The next moment, a gray, fluffy rabbit appeared in his sight.
"Whew...... It turned out to be a hare!"
Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up, "As food for snakes, it is not surprising that there are hares living on this island, in fact, as long as there are creatures in the food chain that do not exceed the status of snakes, they may appear on this island." ”
Looking at the time of my watch, it was almost four o'clock in Brazilian time, that is, it would be dark in two hours.
He rolled his eyes, "It's not too early, we'll pause our search here for today." ”
After saying this, the corners of his mouth curled, his eyes stared at the hare in front of him, and a "hey, hey, hey" smile appeared, "And, we might have a good dinner tonight!"
Seeing this "Asahi style" signature smile, the audience clapped their hands one after another, yes, this rabbit is going to be unlucky!
As they expected, after Chen Xu discovered the whereabouts of the rabbit, he immediately followed with a sapper shovel.
Due to the large number of snakes on Viper Island, the hares here are significantly more alert than those found in the jungle.
Although he had been very careful to control the movement of the tracking, he was still discovered by the other party when he was more than twenty meters away.
Chen Xu grinned and sighed: "No way, I can't get close, and besides, the environment of Viper Island is different from the ordinary tropical rainforest, there are many poisonous snakes here, I don't dare to chase too fast, so as not to be bitten by poisonous snakes." ”
"So, we have to use remote means!"
When the audience heard this, they immediately thought of bows and arrows and pull back targets.
Both of these things are used by Xu Ye, and they are very effective methods of medium and long-distance hunting.
But Chen Xu shook his head, "The return mark can't be used, the distance of more than twenty meters, the power of the return force mark is simply not enough to cause any substantial Shanghai to the hare, although the bow and arrow are very effective, but the production time is too long!"
"This is Latin America, and I know that the indigenous Indians of the American continent have a very effective method of hunting for medium and long distances, which dates back to more than 10,000 years ago, called pike. ”
"The pike dart is a very lethal throwing weapon, some similar to the javelin, in the primitive period, the Indians often used them to hunt reindeer, bison, and even jaguars, with the shuttle dart projector, it can be thrown to a distance of more than 100 meters, the speed can reach more than 160 kilometers per hour, extremely powerful!"
So awesome?
The audience couldn't imagine what kind of thrower could throw javelin-like weapons so fast and so far.
Even the alloy javelin used by the world's highest record holder is only 103 meters away, not to mention the pike darts made of wood and animal bones.
You know, before the use of alloy javelins in the Olympic Games, the farthest throw distance of wooden javelins was only about 30 meters.
"It seems that all Native Americans are single dogs with unicorn arms!"
"What kind of hunting are you going to hunt like this, you can shoot it instead!"
"Xu Ye didn't say that they were projected empty-handed, didn't they still have a launcher, but how big does the launcher have to be to project a weapon as big as a shuttle dart?"
Chen Xu smiled slightly, "You'll understand when I make it!"
Before the hare had gone far, he immediately came to a palm tree.
It has to be said that palm plants are really one of the richest resources in the rainforest, they are everywhere, and they are full of treasures.
He picked a tree trunk that was three fingers thick and more than 1 meter long, cut it down with a sapper shovel, and cut off the excess branches.
Then, Chen Xu sharpened one of the ends and drilled a hole in the tail.
Many viewers didn't understand what he was doing with drilling this hole.
Chen Xu explained: "In fact, the production of the pike projector is very simple, it is a curved tree stick with a hook at the bottom, which can be temporarily buckled with the tail hole of the pike dart. ”
"When throwing, the two are held together, the thumb and index finger pinch the middle of the shuttle, while the remaining three fingers hold the lower transmitter, and when you exert force, you shake your arm vigorously, continuing to press the projector while releasing the shuttle first. ”
"Then, as the projector is torqueed by the swinging arm, it rotates in the vertical plane while pushing the pike itself and allowing it to shoot with a higher initial kinetic energy, which is more effective for long-range shooting like throwing a projectile with a spoon. ”
While explaining to the audience, he had already made a thrower out of tree branches.
In order to be afraid that the audience would not understand, and at the same time, in order to find the feel, Chen Xu personally demonstrated to everyone.
Clamp the pike and the projector, and shake the arm to exert force.
Only then did the audience see clearly that Xu Ye was holding the projector when the shuttle dart was out of his hand, and continued to throw it forward.
In this way, the arc branch, that is, the projector, kept pushing the pike dart to move forward, which was equivalent to giving it a huge thrust in disguise.
No wonder the indigenous Indians of the Americas can throw the shuttle dart more than 100 meters away, which is better than the professional javelin throwers of the Olympic Games.
It is said that it is a cheat, but they have to admit that this is indeed a very clever method, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the crystallization of human wisdom.
Bang!
As soon as two seconds passed, there was a muffled sound, and the shuttle dart in Chen Xu's hand was inserted into a piece of dirt more than 20 meters away.
You know, it's just a wooden pike, and it doesn't even have a decent animal bone head.
But he still relied on the pike projectile and easily reached the distance level of throwing a wooden javelin with his bare hands at the Olympics!
"A good Indian shuttle dart player can almost achieve a hit rate of 100 shots within 30 meters, and in order to achieve excellent performance, they are constantly calculating the ratio of length and angle between the shuttle and the projector. ”
"Of course, there are physics involved, we are just hunting a hare, there is no need to keep improving, for fear of mistakes, I decided to prepare two pike darts!"
After speaking, Chen Xu made another one.
One more pike dart means one more chance, and the error tolerance rate is greatly increased.
Then, with his equipment, he confidently caught up with the hare.
After discovering the target, he immediately stopped twenty meters away, and then according to the throwing posture just now, he aimed at the hare and threw it violently!
