Now the only one who can stay in the iron-striking room every day without Kuan's consent is Bihu. After the www.biquge.info of the pen and the pavilion followed Wang Chuan to build a wooden house, he also withdrew his hands from the construction of the house, ran to the blacksmithing room by himself, and then pondered the manufacturing process of his bow and arrow. Wang Chuan said that the best bow is the product of the combination of tendons and horns. In the past, because there were no horns, many of them were replaced by other horns or wood. After the elephant tendons were used more or less, some bows were replaced by other tendons. There is always a lack of elasticity in the bow made in this way, or you have to make the bow very large. This made Bihu a little dissatisfied. The tribe is surrounded by forests, and the bow is too big to carry, not to mention, and even when used, it may be affected by tree branches.

After Wang Chuan arranged the method of improving the manpower of ironmaking, he saw that Bihu was struggling with the problem of how to make the bow smaller.

Wang Chuan also has many grievances about this issue. When the bow is big, the crossbow can't be small. The crossbow is too big to hang on the waist and exhaust people, the elasticity is not strong enough, and the power is not enough. After studying with Bihu for a long time, Wang Chuan came up with a way to make the bow and crossbow more refined. However, this method requires the use of adhesive glue.

Dropping the bow blade in his hand tied with a hemp thread, Wang Chuan said, "Why don't we go to break the ice and fish?" ”

Bihu obviously couldn't keep up with Wang Chuan's train of thought: "Fishing? ”

When they were besieging the pursuit of the Vulcan tribe, when they broke the ice, many fish jumped out of the water. He knows how to break the ice and fish. But what does this have to do with making a bow? Fish maw glue has to be made to explain its use, so it is still not explained. Let's get the guy first and go fishing.

Wide in the back listening heartache. Although I haven't eaten fish for a long time, some of them want to eat it, but when I think of breaking the ice with iron, will it damage it again?

Hearing that Wang Chuan was going to fish in the river, the people in the tribe who had no work ran to see the excitement. They all wanted to know how Wang Chuan fished now that the river was frozen.

The productivity of the promising slave was astonishing. The trees on the more than kilometer-long road from the tribe to the river have been cut down, and they are clearing part of the roots and leveling the road. After doing this, Wang Chuan prepared for them to go on to open the road to the salt mine, the original dolphin tribe and the wolf's den. In winter, it is not convenient to open the road, so a good road can be formed by cutting a path in the woods and laying some logs on the ground. With the roads, the time to get to these three places can be shortened to half a day. The half day saved can be used for hunting. How much efficiency does this improve?

In addition, Wang Chuan also planned to cut some open space near the tribe and put a fence around it to plant hemp roots and other stems. These things are planted in the fence of the tribe, and there is no place to look crowded. In this era, land is everywhere, and there is no need to be so wronged.

The whole way was like a wolf howling, and the voices were noisy. The weather was good, and my mother was also dressed thickly, and she was supported by several pregnant women and walked to the river. She felt a hundred times more energetic when she looked at the new atmosphere of the tribe, and now she looked much younger than before, maybe it would not be a problem to live for another seven or eight years.

In my mother's opinion, Wang Chuan is magical. They were all laughing at how the boy fished from under the ice, and soon after Wang Chuan commanded the people to chisel the ice away, the fish jumped up one by one. This is the magic of her fire lady, which no one else can do. She naturally didn't listen to the arguments that the river had been frozen for too long, and the anoxic fish under the water would jump up. She also specially called the bark over and told him that when she saw people from other tribes in the future, she should also tell it. This is the legend of my fire boy, and I can't help but spread it to my neighbors.

Wolf Ting raised a few little wolf dogs very closely, and the one or twenty pounds of big carp that jumped on the ice was bitten by the three little wolves with their heads and tails in their mouths, and dragged to Wolf Ting's side. Then sit down and look like you're waiting for a commendation.

In contrast, the baby elephant is much more obedient, it is tied to the reins and helps pull up the ice cubes on the water, over and over again, without complaint, just asking Wang Chuan to give it potatoes or bamboo shoots. It eats tree roots every day these days, and it doesn't want to eat them.

The tribe did not have a trawl, and Wang Chuan did not use the form of porous dragging. After digging an ice pit a few meters square, the broken ice on the surface of the water is cleaned with a net and the net is cast down. Each net is spaced three to five minutes apart. The harvest of each net is staggering. Ten catties of carp are ordinary, thirty or forty catties of grass carp struggle to splash around, people dare not approach, more than 100 catties of herring actually caught two, if it weren't for everyone's quick eyes, with a spear to pierce them, they can't pull them up. There are many other kinds of fish that we don't know, and people are dizzying.

In less than two hours, hundreds of catties of fish were piled up on the ice. This can't help but make everyone sigh, there are so many fish in this river, no wonder there are so many crocodiles.

In winter, when the weather is cold enough, the fish can be frozen firm and solid when they are placed outside the cave, and they are not afraid of spoilage. Now some pregnant women in the tribe have gradually mastered some cooking skills, and they can just let them cook the fish. As long as the heat is not too high, put some remaining shiso and salt, and anyone will cook it. At least the slaves ate it very sweetly.

Wang Chuan was busy taking out the fish bubbles before the fish was jelly, preparing to make fish bladder glue.

Fish maw glue was a very good adhesive material in ancient times, and it was generally made from fish bubbles from marine fish or freshwater fish with high protein content.

Wash the fish in clean water and soak it in warm water for another day or two. After it rises, boil over low heat. After boiling to a certain extent, it is pounded into a paste and filtered to remove the dregs and hard lumps. Finally, it is then pulled into strips and air-dried for later use. When using, soak it in warm water, boil it for another hour or two, and apply the smashed rattan tendon to the object to be adhered to, and after natural cooling, the object will stick tightly.

This glue is extremely frost-resistant, which is suitable for use in the current ice age.

After Bihu used this glue, he quickly made the tendons and horns on the bow pieces stick tightly together. In this way, a lot of twine can be reduced, and the elasticity of the tendons and corners can be fully utilized. With the same thickness of the bow body, the elasticity has increased by more than three percent. It is not impossible to adjust the proportions of the horns and corners to make a better bow.

Wang Chuan took the opportunity to propose a way to improve the crossbow arrows. Now Bark and the others are starting to have a grudge against bows and arrows, and they like this kind of crossbow that shoots more directly. Wang Chuan also felt that he could arm the women and children of the tribe with a light crossbow. In the case of lack of manpower, there are a group of women and children who can use crossbows, and this power should not be underestimated.

In order to avoid duplication of resources, Wang Chuan planned to make strong bows and light crossbows to arm the tribesmen. Use a powerful bow and arrow from 40 meters away, and a better crossbow arrow with a quasi-head within 40 meters. Iron tools are used in close quarters. In this way, the tribe's weapons can cover far or near, no matter what the situation is, there should be no problem.

These tasks cannot be completed by Bihu alone. So his righteous son and daughter, as well as other children, were selected to come and help him with their hands and feet. At this time, the second wooden house of the tribe was also built. They moved into the second set of wooden houses and turned them into bow and crossbow production workshops.

Wang Chuan also gave Bihu a design drawing of a crossbow with three arrows. I don't expect to build more things like a crossbow and three arrows than a tiger, just have a few for myself or someone like my mother to defend myself. This thing is too delicate and time-consuming, and the range is not too long, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The first batch of fish glue was made, and Wang Chuan then asked some of the tribe to go fishing, and he continued to make this kind of thing. In addition to sticking bows and arrows, this thing can also be used on wooden furniture, clothes and shoes. In the winter, when the crocodiles have not yet come out to rule the river, catch a little more fish to make a little bit of this glue for backup.
