011 Crafting weapons

To resist danger, you have to have a weapon at hand, and now Xiao Zhan is empty-handed, but when he realizes the danger and wants to have a weapon, a lot of things immediately appear in his mind.

Obsidian, a natural glaze formed by the sudden cooling of magma flowing from volcanic lava, is an amorphous gemstone whose main component is silica.

It can be processed into handicrafts and also has the properties of glass.

After being crushed, the cross-section is a shell-like fracture, which is very sharp, and was used as a cutting tool such as knives and arrowheads in ancient Stone Age, and modern people use obsidian to make the blade of a scalpel for surgery.

In the middle of the island is an extinct volcano, and there must be obsidian in this place.

Soon, Xiao Zhan found two pieces of obsidian, one was very sharp, like a knife; The other is large, and after being smashed in half, it forms an axe-like stone, and the segments are smooth and sharp.

One piece can be used as a knife, and the other piece is temporarily placed aside.

"I'm going to make a bow and arrow." Xiao Zhan said.

Bow and arrow?

When Lin Feina heard this, her eyes were full of disbelief, in her mind, although the bow and arrow were not unfamiliar, it seemed impossible to make a bow and arrow here.

How to make a bow? How do you make a bowstring?

Just when she couldn't believe it, Xiao Zhan had quickly climbed the slope of the protruding layer at an inclinal angle of seventy degrees, pulling out the wild sisal at the edge of a bush.

As the name suggests, the leaves of this plant grow like a sharp sword, and it is a plant that originates from the tropics, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

It is the largest and most widely used hard fiber in the world today, which can be used to make cables, conveyor belts, tire liners, fishing nets, woven bags and so on.

The Indians would use sisal to rub ropes and make bowstrings.

"It's sisal, the best thing to make rope." Xiao Zhan glanced at his hand and said to Lin Feina: "My hand is injured, you can help me tear the sisal apart, and I want a trace of it." ”

Lin Feina nodded and began to tear the sisal.

Xiao Zhan looked around, picked a wooden stick about 1.2 meters and the thickness of his thumb, gently folded it in half to feel the flexibility, and immediately put it on the ground, using sharp obsidian to plane it flat.

Soon, a simple bow was cut out, and the ends were opened.

"It's torn, do you think it's okay?" Lin Feina asked.

"Good."

Xiao Zhan nodded, put down the simple bow and walked over, picking up the sisal silk and staggering the weaving.

His hand was wounded, and he was slow to weave, but he was indescribably dexterous in his slowness.

Lin Feina on the side was stunned, staring at the sisal silk turning into a strong string.

"Do you see how I made it up?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Nope." Lin Feina blurted out.

She only cared about admiring Xiao Zhan's dexterous technique and watching the rope weave it, and she didn't care how it was braided at all.

"But I can try!" Lin Feina added.

She saw that Xiao Zhan's hand was bleeding again, and she felt that she had to help share a little.

It was these hands that rescued her from the jaguar's mouth, and the wound broke again, and she was distressed.

"It's very simple, you can learn it in a while, hehe."

Xiao Zhan smiled, took the rough bow body, stood on the ground and folded it inward at a thirty-degree angle, and then tightly buckled it into the gaps at both ends with a thin rope, tightened, and made a simple bow and arrow.

It's amazing!

Lin Feina couldn't believe her eyes, and after she accepted the reality, Xiao Zhan had already started to make arrow clusters.

Select a shrub with the thickness of the little thumb, chop it with a sharp stone, cut it to a normal length, and then grind out the sharp end, and leave a triangle at the sharp end to ensure the weight of the arrow.

One after the other, a full twenty were made.

By this time, the bow and arrow were formed, and the arrow cluster was formed.

"It's the most basic survival technique, and if you're willing to use your brain, nature will give you everything you need."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan continued to polish the bow and arrow clusters, and when the polishing was completed, a piece of art appeared.

The bow body is slender, thick in the middle, tapering at both ends, balanced left and right, full of elasticity; The twenty arrow clusters are the same length and even thickness.

And this is just a few wooden sticks plus sisal, and in Xiao Zhan's hands, it turns into a real bow and arrow in less than two hours, still when his hands are injured.

It's incredible, this man is so tough!

Lin Feina was glad that she began to get excited, and she thanked her brain for being smart and not following the wrong person.

At this time, Xiao Zhan put the sharp triangle of the arrow cluster into the fire and burned it a little black, this is to increase the hardness of the wood.

Then he found the bird's feathers that had been brought in the morning, glued them to the tail of the arrow with a very sticky resin, and used a red-hot wooden stick to make them symmetrical.

"This is the arrow feather, under the combined action of power and air resistance, the arrow shaft rotates in the forward, so that it does not deviate from the direction, and plays a stable role." Xiao Zhan glanced at the excited Lin Feina and said, "You'd better write it down, in case you ......"

He didn't go on, because there was no need to say that if he didn't make it, then Lin Feina would definitely die.

Tearing off the bark of a tree, folding a rope made of sisal in half, and turning it into a quiver behind his back, Xiao Zhan took a bow and shot arrows at the tree more than twenty meters away.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ……”

"Khooth! Sonor! ”

Two of the twenty arrows were shot up, and the entire arrow sank into the trunk of the tree by about ten centimeters, and the lethality was amazing, but the hit rate was too low.

He picked up the cluster of arrows and shot them at the trunk again, looking for a sensation over and over again.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ……”

"Khooth! Sonor! Sonor! ……”

When eight out of ten arrow clusters could be shot, and his hands became bloody, Xiao Zhan nodded with satisfaction, hanging his bow and arrows and carrying the quiver on his back.

"How the hell did you do that?" Lin Feina asked urgently.

This is probably the most shocking thing she has ever seen in her life, and if she was asked to do it, I am afraid she would not be able to think of it.

"Something pops out of my head." Xiao Zhan pointed to his head and smiled: "Maybe it's a memory left in my mind, when I came to the rainforest, I always had a very familiar feeling." ”

Indeed, when he realized that he was going to fight, he immediately thought of making weapons, and when he thought of making weapons, he thought of tools, and then he found obsidian, and then he thought of bows and arrows, and then he thought of bows and arrows, and then he thought of the bow, and then he thought of what he could do with the bowstrings, and then he looked for something to weave ropes.

Sisal is fine, tree bark is fine, vines are fine.

This is difficult for most people, but as long as they know how to do it, they can use it anywhere.

This is the basic knowledge of survival and hunting in the wild!

"Are you really amnesia?"

Lin Feina asked with a frown while holding Xiao Zhan's hand to treat the wound.

"Be careful when you use your mouth, don't scratch it with your teeth, it hurts. Don't be too stiff when licking your tongue, you have to lick in circles, yes, you have to lick in circles, the oral work is full of technique, you have to practice more. ”

"I'm not going to give you a mouth today!"

Lin Feina's eyes widened, she heard the narrowness in Xiao Zhan's words, and a flush rose on her dirty pretty face.

She felt that Xiao Zhan still had endless secrets on his body, and there was a sense of mystery everywhere.

And when she thinks so, she wants to explore, but she doesn't know that once she starts, she will become involuntarily.
