Chapter 239: The Sling
There are many tools that can throw stones far, such as slingshots and trebuchets.
However, these are too demanding, and none of them are the weapons that Han Cheng wants to make for the second senior brother.
What he wanted to create for the second senior brother was something that was easy to carry, and there were not too many restrictions on its use, and it was not bad in power.
The power of the slings is no worse than that of a bow and arrow, that is, the accuracy of the head is not as good as that of a bow and arrow.
In his previous life, Han Cheng had seen a piece of data about the sling, saying that it was the farthest distance that could be made with the sling, close to five hundred meters, which was farther than the farthest distance of the bow and arrow.
Of course, this distance is just a legend, and few people can figure it out, but the second senior brother who has a stone throwing rope in his hand has no problem shooting the stone bullet out of seventy or eighty meters and a bow and arrow.
After getting the accurate news from Han Cheng, the second senior brother was dazzled, he didn't want to wait for a moment, he wanted to immediately get the kind of weapon that Shenzi said in his hand.
Senior Brother, Senior Brother Sha and the others were very surprised to see the second senior brother who was full of energy and judged the two before.
I don't know what Shenzi did when he called the second senior brother to the house, but in a short period of time, the second senior brother was reborn.
The second senior brother is a person who can't hide his words very well, especially happy things, and in the face of the inquiries of the senior brother and others, he immediately said what Han Cheng just said about making a new type of weapon.
When they understood what he meant, they were skeptical, for stones were different from feathered arrows, and they had been dealing with stones for a long time, and they all knew how difficult it was, and they wanted to throw stones as far as bows and arrows...... It's kind of unbelievable.
"Son of God......
The senior brother couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and came over to ask Han Cheng, and the rest of the people also pricked up their ears to listen.
After getting a definite answer from Han Cheng, the people led by the senior brother couldn't help but cheer.
The appearance of the bow and arrow has completely refreshed their cognition, which has greatly enhanced the overall strength of the Qingque tribe, and now that they have learned that a new weapon can throw stones far, far away, how can they suppress the joy and excitement in their hearts?
More than half of the people prefer a bow and arrow that allows stones to fly farther than a bow and arrow that they have never touched before.
After all, they know more about stones, and most people have a similar mentality that they don't want to touch when it comes to unfamiliar things.
Wu, who had just learned the news, also rushed over and asked Han Cheng with some eagerness.
The matter of the stone throwing rope was something that Han Cheng only remembered last night, and he went to look at the charcoal early this morning, and he originally thought that after eating, he would talk to Wu and Senior Brother again, but after seeing the appearance of the second senior brother, he told the second senior brother first, so Wu didn't know in advance.
After confirming this news, Wu quickly asked people to call the stone squatting on the kang in the house and staring at the pottery plate in a daze, and asked him to come and watch the Miko make a new type of weapon.
This guy has a faster understanding of these things than Wu, and he can record them better than Wu's.
By now, Wu doesn't write much.
The appearance of the news of the catapult, like a thousand catties of boulders thrown into the lake, immediately made the Qingque tribe boil.
Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Yan and the others looked at Han Cheng energetically, beating their chests and indicating what they needed to do, and let the Divine Son command.
The limp lifted up the animal skin, revealing his arms, signaling that he would follow in the footsteps of the gods.
As the number one carpenter in the Qingque tribe, he was not the first to complete the bow and arrow, which stimulated the lameness, so today he was full of energy and wanted to fight for a breath.
Even Han Cheng was a little surprised by the momentum of going up the mountain to fight the tiger and going down to the sea to capture the dragon that everyone showed at this moment.
It's just a sling, how did you make such a big move?
In the expectation that everyone was ready to make a big fight and get this new type of weapon out, Han Cheng began to call the shots.
This made everyone feel that it was time to make a big effort.
However, Han Cheng's words made everyone who was trying to lift the strength almost fall, because he didn't let everyone do the work that required a lot of effort, such as cutting down trees or splitting stones, but asked people to bring some ropes.
The weaving of the slings was not complicated, and under Han Cheng's guidance, the limp combined the ten ropes in twos and twos to become five.
Then the five ropes were woven into each other, and the five ropes were woven into a thick rope, and one end of the rope was left as a rope loop, which was used to put it on the wrist when the time came, and to prevent the slings from flying out.
In the middle of the rope, there is a distance of about ten centimeters that has not been braided together.
Here, these five ropes were separated, and they were used as warp threads, and under the guidance of Han Cheng, a thin rope was used as the weft, and after interspersing back and forth, a net-like thing was weaved.
This net bag is used to hold stone bullets.
Of course, there is more than one way to do it, but the slings that come out of this way are stronger than the ordinary slings, after all, it is a whole.
Compared with the bow and arrow, in advance of the rope, the manufacture of the slingling is much easier, and the time for half a day has not been used up, and the slinging has already been formed under the lame hand and appeared in front of everyone in the Qingque tribe.
Looking at this very different thing from what they imagined, everyone in the Qingque tribe seemed a little quiet, which was very different from the way they were ready to do a big job before.
They couldn't imagine how they could throw a stone far away with such a thing.
If this was not said by the Son of God, but someone else, they would have already shook their heads and left.
In the face of such a brand-new weapon, Han Cheng, the divine son, naturally stepped forward.
He first put the deliberately left loop at the end of the slingling on his wrist, and then twisted it around and tied it to it.
Choose an egg-sized one from the stones that the second brother carried with the head of the rafter, put it between the net pockets in the middle of the sling, fold the sling, and hold the other end in his hand.
Then let people retreat far away, not only in front of them, but also in the back.
The slings are different from bows and arrows, when using a bow and arrow, Han Cheng can still guarantee that the arrows shot will go forward, but the sling, before he is familiar with it, he really can't guarantee anything.
After there was no one within thirty meters, Han Dashenzi began his performance.
The right arm holding the slings suddenly exerted force, and after turning the slings in his hand in a circle, he let go of his hand.
With the help of this powerful inertia, the stone flew out.
