Chapter 232: The Power of the Javelin
The one who taught Yun Lei how to throw the shot put just now also won the championship of the national competition. Although www.biquge.info is not well-known in international competitions. However, he knows a lot about the sport of throwing the shot put.
Although, throwing the shot put requires skill. But that's just for professional athletes. Professional athletes compete for the slightest difference. And as an ordinary person, the shot put is thrown far away, and it all depends on strength.
Even among professional athletes, there is a market for the truth that one force will drop ten. In the world's top competitions, many of the champions in track and field events are naturally muscular blacks.
However, Yun Lei found that once the volume of this object increased, the power of the electromagnetic cannon plummeted. If you throw it with one hand according to the throwing requirements of the shot put, then the ampere force generated between the fingers is not enough to produce too powerful killing effect.
Even if Yun Lei does not deliberately suppress the strength of the current, and the strength of the magnetic field generated by this current, he will go all out. The shot put thrown with one hand is estimated to be able to fly a few hundred meters at most. At close range, there may be some power. However, once the distance is closed. Its power is not comparable to the lowest-level spells of immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period.
So, throwing with one hand is not a no. You have to throw it with both hands.
However, Yun Lei was not in a hurry to experiment with two-handed throwing, turning his arms into the power of a giant electromagnetic railgun. Before that, he needs to determine the type of projectile, which one is more powerful. That's why he borrowed the discus, the shot put and the javelin.
Among these three pieces of equipment, the first one he eliminated was the discus. This thing, with its flat shape, is not conducive to Yun Lei using itself as an electromagnetic cannon to launch it. Moreover, in terms of accuracy, it is inferior to the javelin, and in terms of power, it is inferior to a spherical projectile such as a shot put. It's really a kind of chicken rib thing.
So, it can only be eliminated.
But the javelin is worth practicing. According to Yunlei's assumption, projectiles of different sizes, such as lead balls, can take advantage of the fast launch of the electromagnetic cannon to carry out rapid launches, and use dense firepower to suppress the opponent without paying too much attention to things such as aiming.
After all, this thing was originally used to defend the city. In modern times, after the appearance of the most primitive artillery, this lead ball was also used as a shell for primitive artillery. The primitive artillery, with its astonishing accuracy, has an astonishing difference in accuracy, and its biggest role is to suppress the enemy's firepower.
The concept of machine guns is similar to that of modern thermal weapons.
So much so that in later generations of shot put competitions, the weight standard of sixteen pounds of shot put followed the weight standard of the original artillery shells in the past.
And the javelin, which is a weapon with extraordinary power and easy control in the era of cold weapons, can be practiced. Sometimes, it can be used for precision sniping. The concept is similar to that of modern thermal weapons, the sniper rifle.
According to the wooden ghost face, there are memories of ancient humans. Long before humans learned to use fire, they learned to use the most primitive throwing spears. According to the historical relics excavated by archaeologists today, humans have learned to use javelins in the Paleolithic Age.
Of course, at that time, the javelin, the tip of the spear was mostly made of stone, or animal bones. From the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, a large number of tools left over were the tips of javelins. Before the invention of the bow and arrow, this javelin was also used to replace the bow and arrow, one of the long-range attack weapons.
In ancient Greece and Rome, and even in ancient China, the javelin was the standard equipment of the infantry. After all, the cluster of arrows fired by the bow and arrow is a little less powerful than the powerful javelin. Moreover, the manufacturing process of bows and arrows is far more complicated than that of javelins. Yes, although the bow and arrow were widely available, they did not completely replace the javelin.
This continued until the thirteenth century, when the bow and crossbow gradually replaced the javelin. Then, thermal weapons came into play, and the javelin was completely reduced to a competition. However, the long history of mankind has proved that the javelin, which is a simple and powerful weapon, is still relatively reliable. It can not only ensure the attack distance, but also ensure the accuracy of the throw after a long period of practice.
According to the normal race process, before the javelin is thrown, there will be a run. However, Yun Lei can't guarantee that he will have time to run every time when he is facing enemies, and if he wants to use the javelin for accurate sniping, then it is absolutely necessary to be quiet before throwing. Actions that can arouse the vigilance of the opponent such as running must not be allowed.
Moreover, in the modern Olympic Games, the run-up before throwing the javelin is only to allow the runner to throw farther. However, Yunlei can use the power of thunder and lightning to mobilize electromagnetic fields and throw this javelin with the principle of firing electromagnetic cannons. Neither distance nor power is a problem.
It doesn't matter if you have a pre-throw run.
In addition, this javelin cannot be used in the same standard as the competition javelin. This standard javelin, although it is for competitions. But it's a weakened version. After the flourishing of modern science, in the fifties of the twentieth century, Herder, a javelin thrower of the Mayflower Federation, developed a wooden javelin with thin ends and thick middle.
The javelin of this shape, in accordance with the rules of aerodynamics, prolongs the time the javelin flies in the air. Known as the gliding javelin. The emergence of the gliding javelin became a major breakthrough in the history of javelin development.
In the twentieth century, after the advent of aluminum alloy javelins in the sixties, because the hardness of aluminum alloy is greater than that of wood, it reduces the flutter of the javelin itself in javelin throwing, so the gliding performance of the javelin is more powerful.
By 1984, after Europa athlete Horn set the men's world record of 104.80 meters, this powerful gliding javelin could already surpass the sports field and pose a threat to the lives of the referees and the surrounding spectators! As a last resort, the IAAF had no choice but to move the center of gravity of the standard javelin forward to reduce the throwing power and distance of the javelin.
This change is an option in peacetime. However, Yun Lei didn't want a javelin for competition, but for fighting. Naturally, the more powerful the better.
Therefore, Yun Lei used the borrowed javelin to practice his throwing skills. The results thrown out are not real. Even if Yunlei does not need running techniques, other throwing techniques have been summed up by human beings over tens of thousands of years since ancient times.
For example, the position of the hand to grasp the javelin, and the way to hold the gun before throwing. Another example is the moment the javelin leaves the hand, the movement of the wrist and fingers, and the thirty-degree angle that the javelin must maintain when the javelin is shot. These movements may seem simple, but when you become proficient, you can improve the stability of the javelin in the air and the effect of javelin gliding.
