"What is power?" Wan Magni, who was stroking and admiring a U.S. military-standard rifle M16, suddenly said something out of his head.

"What do you say is power?" In order to contribute to the family business, Elanya had to make a comeback.

But the delusional Magni digressed again, saying, "Do you know what the difference is between us and the cavemen? ”

Elanria: "We look better!" ”

Wherever she pulled, Magni pulled it back, as if he were the Windranger, and said, "You're right, men conquer the world, women conquer men." Women choose the right man, otherwise they can't live. What is the right man's? What looks good is right. What is good-looking? Smooth skin.

We are the only naked ape that does not have thick hair. It can be said that it is the most beautiful type of ape. This is because of our fanatical pursuit of heat dissipation performance, the more hairless the heat dissipation performance. Do you know that we humans have a so-called marathon, when have you ever heard of a marathon in horse racing?

In fact, horses' endurance is far worse than that of humans. It is not possible to run for a few hundred seconds, and in those few hundred seconds, the speed of the horse is only 30 kilometers. A person who exercises regularly can ride a road bike for hours at a speed close to 50 km/h. Otherwise, no matter what Steve Jobs said, the most efficient eagle in the animal world could not compare with humans who owned bicycles. ”

Elanria Windranger: "But what does this have to do with power? ”

Magni: "It matters. Because cavemen are as sparse as we are, and as intelligent as we are. Why could our ancestors exterminate them? Because we believe in power, and power is something that has no substance. When everyone believes in it, it has a physical meaning, and our ancestors can organize larger tribes to crush other races. Only peers are Chiroro's hatred. ”

Luckily, this small gun shop doesn't sell many pieces a month, so Alanya is able to be patient and obedient.

Magni suddenly burst out laughing, feeling his chatterbox, there was no way, after the catastrophe of life and death, he hadn't talked for a long time, and once thought that he had lost his ability to talk.

Or maybe it has something to do with the audience, he said, "Your business has a lot to do with this illusion of power in us humans, why do you like archery?" You like the feeling of being in charge of life and death, right? Of course, it's useless, it's still useful thousands of years ago, and now it's only a nostalgia for illusions. "Of course, apart from him, he is one of the few guys who still wants to play the role of a bow and arrow in modern times.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, some things are not easy to say to this person who lives in Manila, McGoney feels that power, like a house, is a kind of virtual economy, and many things revolve around the big black hole of power, some people think that they can control power, thinking that they can manipulate the life and death of others by casually testing a little domineering, and Wang wants to let them know how wrong they are.

All sheep are afraid of the big bad wolf, unless a certain sheep is crazy, and Wang Fang has often felt like he has gotten madness lately.

Finally, when I saw the crossbow, my love was overflowing.

"I decided to collect the crossbow." He said.

Alan Ria was overjoyed: "Your decision is correct, there are many more crossbows than bows and arrows, and you have to play with them." I'm going to introduce you to it, haven't you played it before? ”

Wang Fang nodded, it is true that he has only seen it on the Internet, and the actual contact is scarce. East Asian countries are strictly guarding against weapons. Only 10 people in Japan die a year at the hands of guns, and half of them commit suicide.

While trying to fire a crossbow, Alan spotted Magni staring at the bow as she wound it, and she couldn't imagine how Magni could use a mechanical mechanism to automatically wind it from the receiver.

A young man with a bright future can't go into battle shirtless to shoot people, right? This kind of rough work is still left to high-tech, that is, drones.

Alan originally built yì Magni to play with bows and arrows, but I didn't expect this guy to like crossbows, and he especially liked the plaything equipped with a laser scope, which was really muddy and couldn't hold up the wall. She shook her head.

And Magni also asked unashamedly: "There is wood and a self-reloading crossbow." ”

Ailan said angrily: "Do you have lazy cancer, and besides, the laws of many places do not allow this kind of crossbow." ”

"Oh, you can sell automatic rifles at will, but automatic crossbows don't, and it's magical," said Magni. If I didn't have autoloading, when would I be able to do a shot in three seconds like you? ”

Alan smiled: "Next life." ”

Because the winding is too complicated, the general crossbow rate of fire will be twice as slow as that of a skilled archer, and the advantage is that ordinary people can go to the battlefield after a short period of training, so many European nobles have a crossbow pattern on their logos, a symbol of strong force.

Finally, it was the turn of the super 450-pound giant bow, which had to be geared to be wound, and I tried a few shots, and the sound of the arrow falling off the string was really good. Some fans like to listen to the roar of the engine, and Wang Fang finds that he likes to listen to the tiger roar of the giant bow. Not as deafening as a rifle, but no less shocking.

Wang Fang didn't have a place to store these big treasures, so he made a request to Elanria's father to pay a certain amount of money so that he could play with all the weapons here without restrictions. The reason is that "I haven't figured out what to buy yet".

Three days later, Wang Fang did not appear for a long time, because he was figuring out how to make an automatic reloading mechanism. In order to have a foothold in Manila, he also befriended a foreign student who could ask him to come forward to buy weapons, and two crossbow enthusiasts rented an RV to go to the suburbs to shoot targets.

Here, for the first time, Wang Fang tried out his rudimentary auto-loading mechanism, and slowly improved it.

The powerful gears ensure that this reloading mechanism can shoot 20 rounds a minute like Elaria Windranger in the future, enough to shoot a large live target into a sea urchin.

Mortals, you don't know what power is!

The crossbow equipped with pulleys looks top-heavy, and after Wang Fang wrapped it in a circle of arrow boxes, it actually looks a lot more balanced, full of the beauty of the design, which is really a clever hand.

It's over, Wang Zhan feels that if he carries this weapon and leads 100 loyal soldiers, he can confidently conquer the entire Inca Empire, or the Eight Banners of my Qing Dynasty, haha.

If this was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, General Wang would have been able to lead a demonic crossbow soldier from the Philippines to land in Guangzhou and start the Northern Expedition.

However, in this real world, how can we transport the demonic repeater to the Central Plains?

It's really not a simple question, with his slow hexahedral sail? No, it's too slow, and when the killer comes in, the daylilies will be rancid.

Gliding drones are good, but if you can't find an updraft in the middle of the way, you are in danger of falling into the sea or halfway.

How can we "boot up" again in the middle of the more than 2,000 kilometers of horizontal distance from Manila to Hot City? Well, you should hide a hydrogen balloon in the casing of the drone, and when the drone lands almost to sea level, throw the balloon to raise the altitude again.

However, sufficient hydrogen is needed to obtain sufficient lift, and the storage of hydrogen is a challenge. Now that Toyota is vigorously developing hydrogen fuel cells, one of the more troublesome problems is the problem of hydrogen storage, and the reliability of hydrogen fuel stored in high-pressure tanks has been questioned by many experts.

When it comes to developing technology, the Russians have always been good at using cheap raw materials, and they were the first to propose the use of a device called "hollow glass microspheres" to store hydrogen.

This is a very common industrial additive, it sounds like glass, but in fact it is more like a bubble, with a diameter of only 25~500 microns, and the thickness of the glass wall is only 1 micron, but it has considerable hardness, and the hydrogen can be compressed to a certain extent, but there is no need to worry about the explosion risk of accidental breakage, because a single glass microsphere is too small to set off any wind and waves.

These glass microspheres have a property that allows them to collect and release hydrogen - it is penetrating in the range of 200~400 degrees Celsius, and the permeability disappears at room temperature.

The difficulty of this technique lies in the creation of high-strength glass walls, but this is nothing, Wang Fang does not need to be too high-performance, all he does is to find a technology that can distinguish the usable parts of a large number of glass microspheres, and see what can be done.

Thinking too much, the stupidest way at the moment is to make the plane land on the water, and then use solar power to electrolyze to produce hydrogen, this process needs to inhale some water to make ballast, so that the amount of hydrogen is not enough for the plane to float. The technology is mature, and his team has long mastered the way to reliable electrolysis of water.

Stupid methods are stupid and inefficient, but they are ten thousand times better than falling into the sea and becoming a dead fish.

What if you want to be more efficient? Simply put a relay station in the middle of the sea route, and prepare a hydrogen balloon for the drone to take off again all year round. The kind of bargain of 30,000 yuan that is prepared for Zhejiang fishermen is suitable for use as a relay station, and can also be made unattended.

There is no utilitarian mind in the bow and arrow, and Magni, who purely regards it as a fitness sport, has actually improved rapidly, and his movements are getting smoother and smoother, and he can be regarded as "skilled in archery", which makes Alanria Windranger amazed.

Magni smiled at her: "It seems that if human civilization destroys me, I can still barely survive with this craft, it will definitely not be as nourishing as you, but it is enough." ”

"Hmph", the beautiful girl archer snorted, and began to perform her unique trick in front of Lao Wang, shooting the target - the swinging target. And with one shot on target, McGoney admired it. What a hunter-gatherer winner.
