Chapter Eighty-Five: How to Write a Stone

The development of bows and arrows can be said to have entered a stage of stagnation, and the power of the single bow has been tested, and there is a chicken-like existence.

When it comes to hunting, there is not much difference between having and not having it.

Many things can be replaced.

In battle, it still has a certain amount of damage to thin-skinned animals, and it cannot be said that it is useless, but it can only be said that the ratio of pay and harvest is too low to be worthwhile.

With this short distance of twenty meters, Wang Yang can say with certainty that the lethality of throwing a big stone is greater than that of a bow and arrow.

So he gave up making a monolithic bow.

When you have better resources in the future, try to make a powerful compound bow.

As for the bow in front of you, let's use it as a test and continue to improve it.

Having made up his mind, Wang Yang began to research other new weapons.

At present, with his configuration, many good things can be crafted, but drawing on the experience of his predecessors, he can target two weapons, the catapult and the spear.

The main reason why we focus on these two items is that they are easy to make and can be produced in large quantities.

Let's talk about catapults first, in the impression of the general public, the first thing that comes out is estimated to be a large catapult for ancient wars, also called a catapult.

That thing can't be made for the time being, and it's not practical.

The catapults we are talking about today are small, called slings, which can be made with one or two ropes.

To take a figurative example, in movies, you can always see western cowboys wielding nooses and throwing them forward to catch their horses.

The slings are similar to that, with stones attached to the ropes, waved in the hands, and thrown forward with strength, which can be farther and stronger than throwing them directly with the hands.

Primitive people used it for hunting, and there were slingers in ancient times, which was brilliant for a while.

Of course, there are many types of catapults, and this is just one of the simpler ones.

Wang Yang didn't think about it, and immediately made one.

Since the materials used are simple and the process is simple, it is easy to get started.

First of all, prepare two ropes of the same length, one rope is wrapped around one end, tied in a knot, and the fingers must be tightly encased.

Then take a small piece of skin, thread it and tie it in a knot to fix it.

That's it.

How to describe it, the finished product is like a slingshot, except that there is no bow, only rope and skin.

The part of the skin is made of stones, which are slightly dented so that the stones will not fall off easily when it is shaken.

After it is done, Wang Yang puts one end of a rope on his fingers, and the other end will be longer, just enough to hold, and pay attention to the two ropes of the same length when taking them.

Then pick up a stone and put it on the skin and walk to the middle of the clearing.

Everyone wanted to follow him out and watch around him, but he pushed them all farther away, for fear that he would miss and hit them.

Then lift it above your head and shake it gently.

Looking at the stone in front of him constantly spinning in circles, Wang Yang increased the speed of the shake.

"Whew~" There was a whistling sound in his ears, he threw the rope to the fastest, and then the hand holding the rope suddenly let go, the rope broke free, and the stone flew forward with a whistling.

The stone quickly flew into the sky, flew dozens of meters away at once, and then fell, falling into the snow with a clatter.

"Aha~ Eagle Ball!"

Wang Yang grinned, he was in a good mood, the power of the slings was indeed much better than throwing them directly with his hands, and after more training, he could also have a powerful means next time he confronted a large animal.

This is not an exaggeration, the stones thrown through the slings can easily shatter the skulls of animals when they are at their most powerful, and even if it is called a wolf head made of steel, it is difficult to withstand a few blows.

But the difficulty lies in how to master the skills, because when Wang Yang tried for the second time, because he shot too late, the stone was directly crooked to the side, and he flew dozens of meters away.

In situations where physical strength is not required, it is definitely more difficult to master than a bow and arrow.

But in Wang Yang's view, this is not a problem, one person throws a stone, it may be too poor accuracy, it is not easy to hit the prey, but what about five people, ten people, twenty people?

As long as it hits, and hits the vital point, it will definitely make the prey immortal and crippled.

"Hehe......" He turned his head and landed his gaze on the still-dull faces of the crowd.

(Many readers recommended me to watch Bei Ye Wilderness Survival, which is quite scientific.) I also recommend everyone to watch Lethal Samurai, which has detailed tests on many primitive weapons. At last...... Isn't it shameful for me to ask for a ticket like this? )
