Dahu's unintentional move inspired Long Qiupeng's thinking, the bow handle does not have to be wooden, the copper bow handle is not only more durable, but also increases the weight of the bow, which also increases the stability of the bow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Long Qiupeng believed that through his improvement, more and more warriors in the tribe would be able to master the skills of using bows and arrows more easily, and then organize their own powerful archer troops. What's more, a good bow and arrow mother is the only way to the crossbow, so Long Qiupeng said that he had to personally take the big lake through this hurdle.

However, the deer who had just finished the night needed to rest, and Dahu also needed to find someone to arrange the production of the bronze axe first, so Long Qiupeng couldn't make a desperate effort to seize the day, so he made an appointment with the two of them to meet again in the afternoon.

Although Long Qiupeng, who was sleeping upstairs, was sore, it still allowed Long Qiupeng to recover all his spirits. No matter how harsh the living environment is, a primitive society without noise and light pollution is more likely to give Long Qiupeng high-quality sleep.

Without a deer, all work related to social interaction needs to be put aside for a while, and Long Qiupeng had to continue to think about the problem of recurve bow. He had wanted to try his hand at carving it himself, but his knife was meant for fighting, and wasn't particularly suitable for delicate processing of wood. It's okay to sharpen it, but if it's carved, it seems to hurt his precious blade a lot.

Long Qiupeng hurriedly put away his short knife and threw away the wood. It turned out that when he was in Xishan Village, there were many things that he couldn't do, but now that he has more options, he doesn't want to do anything that might hurt his treasure sword.

But things always need to be solved, so he thought of clay, and since clay can be made into a paradigm for casting copper, it can also be made into a pottery shape.

Thinking of this, Long Qiupeng turned around and walked towards the pottery kiln. Most of the pottery kilns are the old clan of the pottery department, and they are also very respectful after seeing Long Qiupeng, although the deer is not there, and the language between the two is not comprehensible. But they still found a special person to teach Long Qiupeng to make a clay model.

Long Qiupeng's memory is not very clear, but he does it according to his own understanding, he first kneaded the clay into a long strip, archery is not his forte, he just tries to process the clay strip according to the appearance in his memory.

The sides of the bow handle model are duckbill-shaped, with a slightly curved surface and several fixing holes left on it, which will be used to mount the bow blades in the future.

In the bow handle near the middle of the suitable position, Long Qiupeng reserved an arrow platform, the traditional bow generally does not have an arrow platform, this design is unique to modern bows, Long Qiupeng deliberately added it, to increase the stability of the bow and arrow when shooting.

After the functional design was completed, Long Qiupeng transformed the grip under the arrow platform to make it comfortable, and the prototype of a complete bow handle was completed.

On the one hand, Long Qiupeng was worried that these models would be out of shape after drying, or damaged when they were fired, and on the other hand, he really couldn't tell which one was better, until noon when the deer found himself, he handed over several clay models to the Tao tribesmen, waiting for them to dry before firing.

The first thing Lu said when he saw Long Qiupeng was: "What is this?" ”

Long Qiupeng didn't buy Guanzi, so he said: "Bow handle!" ”

But the deer still doesn't understand, the bow is the bow, and what is the bow handle, especially the crooked look of that thing, how can it not be connected to the bow. However, for the deer, now is not the time to be full of curiosity, because some explorers have returned, saying that they have found something suspicious around the tribe, and they suspect that it is from another tribe.

As soon as Long Qiupeng heard this, he put down the clay bow handles and returned to the council hall with the deer to meet the explorer team.

As soon as he walked through the door on one leg, he opened his mouth and asked, "What's the situation?!" ”

"There seem to be people lurking around the tribe, but we didn't catch each other, we just found some traces," the team members truthfully reported to Long Qiupeng one by one.

When Long Qiupeng heard the words of the team members, he paused for a moment, but immediately began to continue to walk around the conference hall, drink water, and finally sit on his throne.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's human?" ”

The team member nodded and said, "That's right, and, there may be more than one, and in our experience, there is a good chance that we will be our peers." ”

Long Qiupeng frowned, if it was just a tribal exploration team, it would be nothing, at that time, many tribes didn't know anything about the outside world, and it was understandable for them to send one or two such teams everywhere to look for discoveries, but if the other party had a bad intention, it would be another matter.

He was silent for a moment, then asked the members of the exploration team, "What happens when you usually discover a new tribe?" After all, as a modern man, he is not very aware of the brain circuits of primitive people.

Sure enough, the team's answer was not quite as he expected, and the team member replied to him, "Write it down, and quickly return to the tribe to report to you, and wait for your orders." ”

"Are they doing this too?" Long Qiupeng looked at the team members, his eyes were serious and sharp, and told the other party that he must think clearly before answering his own questions.

The team members comprehended Long Qiupeng's intentions, lowered their heads and pondered for a while before saying: "No, if it is just for exploration, there is no reason to stay here for a long time, and be so careful, it is obvious that the other party wants to dig up our secrets or intelligence." ”

Long Qiupeng nodded and motioned for him to go down and rest first. After all, what is the intention of the other party if they don't see each other? Friend or foe? There is no way to deduce. Among the many messages, only one thing is clear: the other party does not trust them.

The primitive tribes were much more straightforward than modern people, and their ways of communication were very simple, coupled with the huge demands of intermarriage and barter, so the primitive diplomatic behavior was particularly numerous, and it was usually very direct.

Long Qiupeng likes to use the exploration team to observe other tribes, but in fact, a large part of it is influenced by his modern social habits. But the other party, as a primitive tribe, chose to observe secretly instead of visiting directly, which can only show one problem: he is distrustful in the eyes of the other party. This means that the other party, whether for the purpose of self-preservation or expansion, has already been classified as an imaginary enemy.

Lu looked at Long Qiupeng inquiringly, Long Qiupeng sighed, nodded at him, and then Lu threw out of the council room. This is a tacit understanding formed between the two people for a long time - to carry it out, it is necessary to call the bear to discuss it together.

When the deer ran out to call the bear, Long Qiupeng rubbed his forehead with his hand, although he had come to this point, Long Qiupeng was no longer afraid of war, but this sense of urgency that did not allow him to breathe a sigh of relief would still make him feel uncomfortable.

Soon, the deer took the bear into the council hall, when the bear saw Long Qiupeng's expression, he knew that he was in trouble again, he was very big-hearted, and shouted at Long Qiupeng: "It's okay, it's a big deal, we will die with them!" ”

Long Qiupeng didn't speak, and said in his heart, fortunately, the relationship between Xiong and the original leader of the Liebu was not good at that time, otherwise he would die with others at every turn, which is not a good thing. So he opened his mouth unhurriedly and said: "It's not that serious, now I don't know who the other party is, whether it is friend or foe, and it's not my turn to go to war." ”

He glanced at the bear, asked him to sit down, and then motioned for the deer to pick up the information he had just learned and retell it to the bear.

Wait for the deer to finish what happened. Long Qiupeng said: "There is nothing else to do when you are called, and the small team of intelligence officers does not need to be too chaotic, but for the sake of safety, our establishment must be sorted out as soon as possible and the rotation will begin." The composition and route of the tribal patrol also need to be re-planned, the coverage should be larger, and it is best for someone outside the tribe to patrol it every day, and I will tell Dahu to quickly distribute new weapons to the clansmen to ensure everyone's safety. On top of that, the watchtowers are all replaced by archers, in groups of three, three to four a day, on duty without gaps. Shooters are better at attacking from a distance and are more sensitive to the elements. ”

After hearing this, Lu said with a sad face: "Even if you add me, the personnel are a little nervous." ”

"Counting those hunters, they can also be able to take on a heavy task if they are trained......" Long Qiupeng paused thoughtfully, and then said, "There are good shooters among the slaves, and they can restore their freedom." ”

After saying that, Xiong left first, and the matter of arming has always been dominated by him. Before coming to the Dragon Clan, the Lie tribesmen, who had been wandering in the deep forests and wilderness for a long time, had a self-contained defensive combat system, which was more than enough to deal with those illogical and capricious animals, and it was not a problem to deal with humans.

There is no problem with tactics, the rest is all about personal skills, and Long Qiupeng can't turn each of them into a royal guard or a master of the inner house.

And the deer stayed, ready to report another thing to Long Qiupeng: "Early this morning, the people who followed the Qiutu tribe also returned. ”

Long Qiupeng didn't speak, just motioned to Lu to continue, if there is urgent information, Lu will definitely let the team members report to Long Qiupeng in person, since the team members did not come, then it means that there is nothing special to find in this tracking, just a routine report.

As he listened to the deer, he wondered if this group would have any connection with the people of the Hill Tribe. The hill tribe is not along the lake, he is relatively close to the interior and hills, on the other side of the copper mines. This time, he asked Long Qiupeng for so many bronze weapons, not because he didn't have a bronze mine there, but because the distance between the bronze mines was a little far, and it was not very convenient to mine. So when the Furnace tribe offered to trade with them, they still wanted to pick up some ready-made bargains.

Until this point, Long Qiupeng's attitude was still relatively casual, in a state of listening with his left ear and emerging with his right ear, but the last sentence that Lu said attracted Long Qiupeng's attention.

Lu said: "Actually, there is a mine near their tribe, but now it has been abandoned, and the team members went down to take a look, and it seems that it is not a copper mine, so they abandoned it." As he spoke, he took out a piece of ore and said it was a piece of ore that the team had found in the abandoned mine.
