Chapter 67: Clairvoyance
"Good bow!" After Gao Huaiyuan released an arrow, he nodded and praised.
He took a few people with him at this time, wandering around the mountain, the bow in his hand was not the three two-stone strong bows he brought back from the army, but a brand-new black lacquer bow, the bow force is nine buckets, the bow body is recurved, the bow strategy at both ends has two smooth bow ears, the bow arm is ash ash for the bow tip, the ash wood is the bow tire, supplemented by horn pieces, bonded with fish glue made of fish drift, and finally brushed with black lacquer moisture-proof, and the bowstring is made of raw silk and cow tendon, after hanging on the bow lug, it becomes the black lacquer bow in Gao Huaiyuan's hand.
Gao Huaiyuan traveled today, not specifically for hunting, but to test how to use this kind of bow produced by Crouching Tiger Village, after an arrow was shot just now, a pheasant thirty steps away fell in the grass.
A black dog immediately rushed over, took the pheasant back, put it at Gao Huaiyuan's feet, stretched out his tongue and looked at Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan took out a small piece of dried meat in his pocket and stuffed it to the black dog, this guy proudly lay at his feet and chewed the dried meat.
A middle-aged man shouted behind Gao Huaiyuan: "Young Master is really good archery!" At such a distance, an arrow pierced through the pheasant's chest, this eyesight was by no means ordinary, and the small one used to be an Orion, and he didn't dare to say that he could shoot so accurately! ”
Gao Huaiyuan smiled and looked at the black lacquer bow in his hand, and said to the middle-aged man who spoke: "Qin Hu, don't praise me, you can shoot accurately, or because the black lacquer bow you made is good, if the bow arm is slightly deviated, the arrow will not be able to go, and no matter how good the archery skills are, it will be in vain!" Hehe! Looks like you're really good at making bows! Not bad! ”
This person named Qin Hu is also a craftsman brought back by Gao Huaiyuan in front of the army, and at this time he is already a very important craftsman in Gao Huaiyuan's hands, he said: "The small one is also this ability, we have been hunters for generations, and we can't live without bows and arrows, so our ancestors can make bows, and the craftsmanship has been passed on to me, and it is also a small blessing to be able to help the young master!" ”
Qin Hu is a person from Xiangzhou, Hebei, Hebei people have always been brave and fierce, when the Jin people invaded the south, the Hebei people rebelled all over, gave the Jin people a great blow, is the absolute main force to resist the Jin, most of the backbone of the Yuejia army are Hebei people, especially the people in Xiangzhou and Tangyin have a tradition of martial arts, so Qin Hu also has the legacy of a military general, and he invaded south with the Jin army, he was also forced to be caught in the army, but for the Jin country, he did not have a sense of belonging, and was one of the first people to surrender to the Song army.
Now Qin Hu has won Gao Huaiyuan's trust, and can basically follow Gao Huaiyuan's side, in addition to shooting a good arrow, Qin Hu's long fist is also very good, is one of the few people in Zhuangzi who can take a few moves under Gao Huaiyuan, and his hand-made bow craftsmanship is even more valued by Gao Huaiyuan, this world wants to find a good bow on the market, it is really not easy, after having Qin Hu, Crouching Tiger Village has solved the problem of using a bow and met his needs. There's no need to risk shopping or asking Xing Zhutou to help you get some military bows.
Gao Huaiyuan handed the black lacquer bow in his hand to Zhou Hao on the side, Zhou Hao also weighed it, tried to pull the bowstring, nodded, did not speak, but pulled out a carved arrow in the quiver, buckled the string and aimed at the woods, slowly moved his arm, suddenly loosened the string, only to hear a burst of wild boar's wailing sound in the woods.
Several hounds immediately rushed into the jungle, only to hear a burst of wild boar's howl in the jungle, and soon a few hounds dragged out a small wild boar weighing dozens of catties, pulled in front of Gao Huaiyuan and his party, Zhao Tong slapped their heads one by one, fed them some dried meat, and several hounds also lay on the ground and chewed triumphantly.
"It turns out that Little Brother Zhou is also a good archery!" Qin Hu sighed.
"Zhou Hao is my fellow junior brother, this archery technique is indeed quite good, his single knife is also very old and spicy, ordinary people can't underestimate him now!" Gao Huaiyuan smiled at Qin Hu.
"Little knows, the last time I played with Brother Zhou, I didn't take enough moves before he flew the knife, the young master's subordinates are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" Qin Hu nodded again and again.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can't be said, I just want to protect myself in the troubled times!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said.
After several people carried the prey, they continued to walk towards the mountain, and after coming to a mountain, Gao Huaiyuan took out a cylinder from his arms, opened it, and looked into the distance with his eyes, and then adjusted the cylinder, and after looking at it, he handed the cylinder to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao took the copper pipe suspiciously, took it in his hand and looked at it, and saw that this copper pipe was composed of two copper pipes, which could stretch and adjust the length, and there were glass pieces in both sections, so he also looked at his eyes.
Rao is Zhou Hao's calm character, when he saw the things in the copper pipe, he couldn't help but exclaim: "My God, this thing seems to pull the distant thing in front of you, what is this!" ”
"Show me! Let me see it too! Zhao Tong don't rob, don't you want to fight? Zhou Jun jumped over to grab the copper pipe in Zhou Hao's hand, and saw that Zhao Tong also stretched out his hand, so he first knocked Zhao Tong's hand aside.
Even Qin Hu came over after hearing Zhou Hao's exclamation, wanting to see what this thing was, but he was embarrassed to fight with them, standing on the periphery with his eyes blank, stretching his neck to look.
After some scramble, Zhou Jun grabbed the copper pipe, and when he got to his eyes, he exclaimed: "God! Oh my mother! Why is it so close! ”
So a group of people were scrambling again, and this magical copper pipe turned around in everyone's hands, and finally fell into the hands of Qin Hu, who had been waiting for a long time, not because everyone was polite, but Qin Hu really couldn't stand the temptation of everyone, and finally had to join the scramble, when Qin Hu saw that the scene in the copper pipe suddenly got closer, he suddenly opened his mouth, and it took a long time to call out: "My God!" It's a miracle! How? Master! Master! What is this? Oh my God! ”
Under Qin Hu's series of exclamations, the copper pipe finally returned to Gao Huaiyuan's hands.
"This thing is called a telescope, and I will tell you slowly when I look back at the specific principle, but as the name suggests, the telescope is both a mirror for looking at distant scenes, through this thing, we can see distant scenes that we couldn't see before, and everyone has seen it, I want to ask everyone, do you think this thing is useful?" Gao Huaiyuan played with the telescope in his hand and asked everyone.
In fact, Gao Huaiyuan has been quietly tinkering with this telescope, he has used the existing resources at hand, has made several pairs of such monoculars, but because the lenses are not easy to make, a lot of time has been delayed, he tried his best to get the first few telescopes, because the lenses are not qualified, the scenery he sees is almost like an abstract painting, there is no way to go out of shape, and it cannot be used normally.
What's even more ridiculous is that he forgot a key problem, the first trial product actually presented an inverted image, which made Gao Huaiyuan cry and laugh, he then remembered that making a telescope is not so simple, but fortunately, he still remembered some relevant knowledge and quickly corrected this mistake,
Later, it is still the most transparent and colorless glass stored in the glaze workshop, by stirring the glass liquid to make it uniform after melting, and then pouring, and finally forging it out with a mold, after slowly cooling down, it finally achieved good results, although the clarity is far less than the good produced by the famous optical glass instrument factory in later generations, but in this world, it is not easy to make a useful telescope, and it is not easy to see the distant scenery more clearly.
As for the lens tube, there are both coppersmiths and jewelers in Crouching Tiger Village, so that they can make this kind of relatively simple thing, it is still a matter of hand-to-hand, but now there is still a problem that has not been finally solved, that is, the sealing problem of the lens barrel, at some times, the inside of the lens will condense water vapor, making the eyepiece blurred, and then he simply made the lenses at both ends into detachable, and at any time when there is water vapor, remove it and wipe it clean, screw it on and continue to use.
It took a long time to create this kind of working product, and today, in addition to coming out to try the bow made by Qin Hu, he also showed his new product to everyone by the way.
Of course, the effect is satisfactory to him, when these buns saw this thing for the first time, they were really shocked by the creation of heaven and man, and it happened that he also used the brainstorming method to let everyone think about what this kind of thing was for.
"This thing will be good for hunting in the future! You can see some prey that you don't usually see! Qin Hu didn't leave his old business for three sentences, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Huaiyuan immediately pulled out two black lines on his head.
"This thing should be used on the battlefield! With this telescope, if we go out to fight in the future, we can find the enemy's traces in advance, which is conducive to our preparation in advance! Zhou Jun hurriedly said.
"It can also be used for defense, we can detect the enemy as early as possible, and we can prepare for defense in advance!" Zhou Hao nodded and added.
"Scouting! It can be used by scouts to watch the movements of the enemy camp from afar...... "Li Ergou has the potential to be a scout, so he thought of this."
After a while, everyone focused their thoughts on the war, and listed a lot of uses of the telescope, Gao Huaiyuan was very happy, and his purpose was to use it in the war in the future.
"I think it's good that this thing can peek at a woman taking a shower from a distance!" A kid named Fang Lai said with a sassy face.
Gao Huaiyuan fell on the spot, God, he made such a good thing, but it can only be used to peep at women taking a bath? It seems that this Fang Lai has the potential to be a thief! How did you cultivate one of these things? It seems that in the future, Liu Er will be notified to them, and these women should be careful in bathing!
When Fang Lai's words landed, he hugged his head and ran around, being chased and beaten by several companions, causing everyone to laugh.
"I'm talking about fun, I've never peeked at a woman taking a shower! Don't hit! Surrender! Am I not ready to surrender? Fang Lai was finally knocked to the ground, and everyone held him down with his old fist, and Fang Lai couldn't bear it and shouted for mercy.
After everyone laughed for a while, Gao Huaiyuan took the telescope and looked at the mountains in the distance, and said to everyone with a smile: "What you said is good, the telescope is indeed a good thing, once it is used on the battlefield, it will help the owner a lot, the war is sometimes fought is information, the unilateral battlefield is transparent, for the party that has the advantage in this regard, the benefits are that this kind of telescope is only my test product at the moment, and the telescope built in the future will see farther, clearer, and the horizon will be wider, In short, we will continue to manufacture this kind of thing, and strive to use it until the time comes, and configure one for all of you!
And this kind of thing is not only used for war, as Qin Hu said, hunting is also helpful, as well as sailing, traveling, etc., many places can use this, of course, if Fang Lai, a thief, has this thing, it will be even more useful, at least it's not bad to peek at women taking a bath! Don't worry about getting caught! Hum! ”
As soon as Gao Huaiyuan's voice fell, Fang Lai ran away, Zhao Tong pointed his hand at Fang Lai, let out a low bark, and several hounds rushed to catch up, and after a while, they only heard Fang Lai screaming in the distance, and then raised his hands, and was obediently escorted back by several hunting dogs, and said to everyone with a sad face: "Where am I a thief!" The young master has wronged me! I'm just kidding everyone! I don't dare to peep at a woman taking a bath! Zhao Tong, hurry up and let your dogs go back, I'm almost scared to death by them, I want to pee now! Hurry up and spare your life! ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Gao Huaiyuan also saw the training effect of Zhao Tong's hunting dogs today, these hunting dogs that have been carefully trained by him and the dog trainers are now very humane, and they can understand many orders, such as picking up the prey just now, rounding up the injured prey, and chasing Fang Lai, but not harming Fang Lai, it is very commendable to do this.
The most valuable thing is that after these dogs have been trained, they rarely bark and bark when they are fine, and they are basically silent, and if the owner does not order, they will not bark or bark, quietly waiting for the master's order, indicating that Zhao Tong has initially figured out the skills of dog training, so that the dogs know what they are doing, what they do is right, what is wrong, over time, Gao Huaiyuan is not worried about not being able to get a decent hound team.
After hunting for a while, everyone harvested a lot of prey, Gao Huaiyuan took the bow made by Qin Hu, shot a lot of prey, and praised Qin Hu's ability to make bows, which made Qin Hu very happy.
"Qin Hu, this kind of bow is going back to me and I want to make a two-stone five-bucket one, during this time I feel a little stronger, the two-stone bow has been used a little lighter, it seems that it is going to be replaced with a harder bow, now fortunately there are you, otherwise, I really don't know where to find a harder bow!" Gao Huaiyuan explained to Qin Hu.
"Obey the young master! I'll buy the materials as soon as I go back, and I'll make them for the young master! However, the hardest bow that the little one used to make was only one stone and seven buckets, like the kind of two-stone bow used by the young master, the little one felt that it was rare for anyone to use it, and the young master was really born with divine power! I boast that my strength is not small, and now I can only use a hard bow with five stones and five buckets, and I used to boast that I was the first in the village, but now I know that I am the frog at the bottom of the well! I think back then, the only person in our Great Song Army who could use a strong bow was Yue Wangye (after Yue Fei was rehabilitated by Xiaozong, he was posthumously named the King of Hubei by Ning Zong, so the people now call Yue Fei Yue Wangye!). can make a three-stone hard bow, now the young master can use a hard bow of two stones and five buckets, and after a while, the young master will definitely be able to open the three-stone hard bow, and our Great Song Dynasty has another Yue Wangye! Hehe! Qin Hu agreed, while comparing Gao Huaiyuan to Yue Fei.
Gao Huaiyuan sweated profusely, what kind of person is Yue Fei! That is a god-like figure in the minds of many people in China, how dare he compare with Yue Fei! So he hurriedly shook his head.
"I can't help it, don't compare me with Lord Yue, it will make me die of shame! I wonder who Lord Yue is! He was born and died all his life, loyal to the country, and honest and honest, not moved by gold and silver, I am just a rich man who has made a lot of money, how dare I compare with his old man! It really killed me!
Thinking about it, the army of Jingxiang can be regarded as the legacy of Yue Wangye before his death, and the predecessor was the Yue family army, but it is a pity that now that Yue Wangye is no longer there, his combat power has fallen to such a point, if he is still alive, how can the Jin people violate my boundary! can only hate the traitor Qin Hui, who killed Prince Yue alive! I grit my teeth with hatred when I think about it! I really want to dig Qin Hui's ancestral grave! Gao Huaiyuan said, but now he lives in the Southern Song Dynasty under the Zhao family's world, and he didn't dare to point the finger at Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, in fact, the person he hates the most is Song Gaozong, a bastard, and it shouldn't be Qin Hui who really killed Yue Fei, but this bastard emperor.
Qin Hu was embarrassed for a while, and said: "Speaking of which, my surname is also Qin, I am really ashamed that our Qin family has such a big scum!" When does the young master dig his ancestral grave of Qin Hui, don't estimate that I am also surnamed Qin, call me, I will accompany the young master to dig his Qin Hui's grave in person, and the whip corpse can relieve the hatred! ”
Gao Huaiyuan then remembered that he scolded all the people surnamed Qin for a while, so he hurriedly accompanied Qin Hu for a while, after all, when it came to digging Qin Hui's ancestral grave, the ghost knows if all the people surnamed Qin in the world are from a family! This is a bit too much, there is not only one Qin Hui surnamed Qin, but Qin Qiong is also a generation of heroes! What's more, there are bad people and good people among people with surnames, so it's a bit unfair to say this, but when I think of the name Qin Hui, I am really angry a little too much, so I say such things.
