You should make other people's lives better because of your survival. - Tsbal

Zhang Juncai took out four walkie-talkies, and the walkie-talkie battery still has a trace of electricity, and it is useless to use it when the power is exhausted. The walkie-talkie is still useful in future battles, and Li Baoqiang misses the multi-functional walkie-talkie used in the training and execution of the troops, with a long call distance and confidentiality, and at the same time displays a GPS map. But there is no electricity at the moment, so let's save it first, and then consider the construction of electricity. "Electricity, it's hard to live without electricity." Li Baoqiang muttered, pondering the problem of power generation.

Seeing that Li Baoqiang was not very interested, Zhang Juncai took out a delicate modern crossbow. Li Baoqiang's eyes lit up, snatched it up, and looked at it carefully.

The crossbow, also known as the "nest bow", "cross bow" and "cross crossbow" is a weapon used to shoot arrows in ancient times. It is a bow equipped with arms, which mainly consists of parts such as a crossbow arm, a crossbow bow, a bowstring, and a crossbow machine. Although the crossbow has a much longer reload time than the bow, it has a longer range, stronger lethality, higher hit rate, and lower requirements for the user, making it a powerful long-range killing weapon in ancient times. The range of the strong crossbow is up to 600 meters, and the range of the extra-large bed crossbow is up to 1 km. According to the different methods of opening strings, it can be divided into arm tension crossbows, stepping tension crossbows and waist tension crossbows, etc., as well as repeating crossbows that can count arrows in salvo or continuous fire and bed crossbows equipped with several crossbow bows.

The development of modern materials science has increased the volume and weight of crossbows, as well as their accuracy, to a higher level. Materials should be selected according to the needs of volume, range, weight, shooting accuracy, etc. The bow body is generally made of bamboo, wood, spring steel, alloy steel, carbon fiber composite materials, etc. The strings are made of rice dumplings, ropes, beef tendons, nylon strings, steel wires, etc. The arrow groove, handle and trigger and string tightener are made of bamboo, wood, horn, plastic, metal, composite materials, etc. The trigger and chord are made according to the principle of levers, and the sights are available in the original straight groove type and ruler and front sight type, as well as those with a sight and can also be made with a laser dot.

Li Baoqiang was frustrated, but unfortunately, this crossbow is a children's toy. However, Li Baoqiang suddenly became excited. This toy crossbow is so delicately made, with scopes, stocks, triggers, grippers, bows, bowstrings, etc., all available and can be removed, isn't this the best mold?

Li Baoqiang has been thinking about the weapons of the team members, there are too few guns, and the bullets are almost gone, in addition to the close-range shuttles, knives, and daggers, Li Baoqiang always wants to find another long-range attack weapon, after all, long-range strikes can best protect themselves. He had thought about making bows and arrows, but the experience of the former Marine made him miss the use of a military crossbow, small and exquisite, with a long range and high accuracy, which was often used in special operations.

Li Baoqiang hurriedly went to find Liu Junsheng with a crossbow, and he didn't even say hello Zhang Juncai hit it, but Zhang Juncai shook his fist happily, he knew that he had done Li Baoqiang a big favor again.

Liu Junsheng and two master blacksmiths were sweating profusely to make shuttle darts and Miao knives. Seeing Li Baoqiang walk in, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing. "Let's see, can you copy it?" Li Baoqiang said excitedly, Liu Junsheng took the crossbow, studied it carefully for a while, looked around at the equipment around him, thought about it and said with certainty: "No problem, it will be slower in time, and it will delay the production of Miao Dao." ”

"The two masters make knives and guns, and I will make crossbows with you, both at the same time." Li Baoqiang said undoubtedly.

In fact, Li Baoqiang can make bows and arrows and crossbows, when he was a child, he used to use pencils, rubber ropes and ballpoint pens to make crossbows, and also shot and injured classmates, and was beaten by his father. So he has a certain experience in making crossbows.

Originally, he wanted to make the kind of hardwood crossbow that old hunters often made, but it was large and heavy, and he gave up the idea of making an old-fashioned crossbow because he was used to seeing the lightness and flexibility of modern military crossbows. In fact, it is relatively simple to make an old-fashioned crossbow.

The structure of an old-fashioned crossbow can be divided into three parts: an arm, a bow, and a machine. The "arm" is generally made of hardwood; The "bow" is across the front of the arm; The "machine" is installed in the place behind the arm deviation. The most important part of the crossbow is the "machine", the crossbow machine is generally made of copper, installed in the crossbow "Guo" (box-shaped), in front of which is the "tooth" (hook) used to hang the string, and the "tooth" is connected with the "lookout mountain" (for aiming at the crosshair); The "Wangshan" of the crossbow in the Western Han Dynasty was engraved with a scale, which is equivalent to a ruler on modern firearms, which is convenient for adjusting the angle of the crossbow according to the target distance and improving the hit rate of shooting. Underneath the copper guoku there is a "hanging knife" (i.e. trigger), which is used to fire arrows. When the crossbow is launched, the string is first opened, it is held on the "tooth" of the crossbow machine, the arrow is loaded in the arrow groove on the "arm", and after aiming through the "Wangshan", the "hanging knife" is pulled to shrink the "tooth", the string is unhooked, and the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the open bowstring is used to shoot the arrow at high speed.

Liu Junsheng thought about it, rummaged through his small repair workshop warehouse, and went out to find Zhang Juncai, rummaging through the materials collected today. After a while, he brought back two young mechanics, and at the same time brought in a lot of equipment. "This is the most important material." Liu Junsheng said, holding a steel plate. "It's spring steel." Liu Junsheng explained.

Spring steel refers to steel that is specifically used to make springs and elastic elements due to its elasticity in the quenched and tempered state. The elasticity of steel depends on its ability to elastically deform, that is, within a specified range, the ability to elastically deform makes it withstand a certain load, and there will be no permanent deformation after the load is removed.

With the key materials in hand, Li Baoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, and the four of them studied it, and finally began to start the copycat crossbow. First, he dismantled the toy crossbow, carefully traced the size of each part, and made a paper pattern, then Liu Junsheng opened the acetylene cylinder and oxygen cylinder, adjusted the flame, and cut a bow under the bright blue flame.

The old-fashioned lathe finally played a role, there was no electricity, Liu Junsheng led the young mechanics to manually stamp, press, turn, drill, and finally the curved bow body was formed, and then polished and the size of the toy crossbow was almost exactly the same, Li Baoqiang happily looked at Liu Junsheng and the two young technicians, "They are all talents, what is the most expensive in the new era, talents are the most expensive, and there are talents who have skills in the end of the world." Li Baoqiang is now accustomed to calling the post-apocalyptic era a new era.

Small pulleys, bearings are ready-made, and they are found in the small town hardware store; The bowstring was replaced with a thin strand of steel wire, the trigger was turned out, and the spring was also found to be a similar replacement, Li Baoqiang also started to cut a piece of wood with a knife to complete the butt and handle, Liu Junsheng carefully assembled, and after installing the last screw, a small and delicate crossbow was finally completed. The only disadvantage of the crossbow is that there is no scope, but there are still simple sights, and the position of the scope is reserved, and the sight can be directly fixed with screws when there is a sight in the future.

"There are no crossbow arrows." Li Baoqiang looked around the warehouse, he found a package of welding rods, aging welding rods, and the welding slag fell off as soon as he wiped it with his hands. Li Baoqiang used a lathe grindstone to polish the sharp end, gently put it in the crossbow groove, pulled the bowstring hard, buckled it, aimed at a wooden board in the distance, gently pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow whizzed into the wooden plank, and succeeded.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, and more than a dozen candles in the repair room were used up, and Liu Junsheng and several people jumped up excitedly, how great is the creativity and passion of people, laid-off workers, young technicians, can actually make such perfect military products overnight.

Li Baoqiang tightly held the hands of Liu Junsheng's masters and said: "It's hard work, you have saved everyone, and with weapons, we have one more chance of survival." Everyone was very excited, looking at the young village chief in front of them, "He can always bring miracles, we will follow him!" "A few people secretly decided in their hearts.

With Bentou, the days are always hectic and go by quickly.

For seven days, the crowd was redistributed. Zhang Juncai led thirty people to continue to collect supplies, and the fat man Wang Zhiming and the thin man each took ten people to take turns to protect them, and also helped collect materials. A group of teams that did not participate in protection, under the leadership of Li Baoqiang, were training with shuttle darts, Miao knives, and daggers that were constantly made.

Li Baoqiang according to the physical condition of the team members, taught a few simple and practical assassination, slashing and slashing movements, repeated practice, practice repeatedly, the team members saw the weapons with exquisite patterns, and the enthusiasm for training continued to rise, after all, there are weapons in the end of the world, learn self-defense skills, and always have a better chance of survival.

In seven days, Li Baoqiang, Professor Zhao and He Qun planned the location of the city wall and moat, and organized the remaining men, women and children to dig the moat, while Zhang Juncai also sent a steady stream of supplies from the town, including several truckloads of new and old bricks, stones and cement. Li Baoqiang couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Juncai was succumbed, he was really wronged not to be a logistics minister, who would have thought that a disabled veteran, a school security guard, and his organizational skills would be so strong.

In seven days, several master bricklayers also showed their housekeeping skills. Accurately and meticulously build the city wall brick by brick, this is a life-saving wall, can you not be serious. The two walls inside and outside are about twelve meters wide, and a three-meter-wide gate hole is left in the middle, and Zhang Juncai is looking for the material of the door. The edge of the wall is built on the edge of the cliff, each wall is one and a half bricks wide, the distance between the two walls is three meters, and the distance between the two walls is interspersed with earth and stone excavated from the moat, and the height of the wall is increasing day by day, so that people's sense of security is increasing.

In seven days, Liu Junsheng and several masters worked overtime to produce 30 Miao knives, 30 special daggers, 100 shuttle darts, and the guns were all white wax sticks cut from the mountain, which were extremely tough. Ten crossbows were also made, each with a quiver, and fifty arrows made from old welding rods. Liu Junsheng also deliberately squeezed a little engine oil out of his inventory and carefully applied a layer of oil to each weapon.

In seven days, the consumption of food is also huge, the villagers have no meat to eat, and the physical consumption is large, relying on white rice alone can no longer improve people's physical strength and spirit, the villagers gradually appeared injured and sick, but the spirit is still very good, after all, I see hope.

Seeing that everything was gradually on the right track, Li Baoqiang decided to lead the team into the mountains to hunt, to hunt instead of training, and at the same time let all the villagers fight tooth sacrifices.
