Chapter Eighty-Five: Archery
After the end of the test, Luo Ji looked at the data record in front of him, and the expression on his face could be said to be mixed, happy that this bow and arrow had finally been made for him, and the worry was that there were still many defects......
One of the expected defects is the lack of stability, the most common kind of arrows, the tail end of the feather is actually used to increase the stability of the arrow, but also to increase the flight speed and range, however, they can't get enough feathers for the time being, the poor stability of this defect, is a reality that has to be accepted at present.
In addition, there is the problem of range, before Luo Ji's test firing of more than 20 arrows, the range of each arrow was about eighty or ninety meters, which is actually quite far, but to be honest, it is still a little short of Luo Ji's expectations, according to his previous expectations, he wants to reach a range of 100 meters away.
Rubbing his chin, Luo Ji, who was sitting cross-legged in the camp tent of the Ordnance Department, suddenly spoke, "You say, if I add another beast tendon and use three beast tendons to weave a bowstring, can I effectively increase the range and power of the bow and arrow." ”
Hearing this, the little fox quickly fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, "But in this way, the requirements for the arm strength of the archer have also increased, and there is also a cost problem......
Luo Ji nodded subconsciously, the bowstring woven by the spiral of the two beast tendons has reached a standard for the consumption of arm strength, if it increases the difficulty of drawing the bow, it is not suitable for ordinary troops, and at the same time, the cost is indeed a big problem, just take the ordnance department, not only the bowstring, the leather armor being made, but also need to be connected with animal tendons, and there are more places where animal tendons need to be used in this era, but it is not a resource that can be wasted casually.
"Okay, let's do that for now." As he spoke, Luo Ji raised the longbow in his hand, "Liu Shu, take this as the standard, you work harder, and try to make more bows and arrows in a short period of time on the premise of ensuring quality." ”
By the way, in order to facilitate the distribution of work, Luo Ji divided two small departments under the ordnance department, namely the ordnance research and development department and the ordnance production department, and the work of ordnance research and development was basically handed over to the little fox and the other two members who were more talented in this area, and the work of polishing and production was handed over to Liu Shu and others.
After leaving the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji returned to his tent and opened the attribute panel, intending to confirm the military items he had unlocked earlier......
Archery (Level 0): I shoot an arrow into the sky, and I don't know where the arrow falls, and the archer's power is increased by 10%.
There is no doubt that this is a very useful military project, plus the archer is almost throughout the entire cold weapon era of the long-range troops, to put it bluntly, before entering the era of thermal weapons, archers, as the signature of long-range troops, will always have a place on the battlefield, there is no need to hesitate at all, Luo Ji directly consumed the ten military points he had saved before on the upgrade of the 'archery' project, this is a military project that will never be lost.
After upgrading the 'Archery' to the first level, Luo Ji, who turned off the attribute panel, plans to think carefully about the candidate for the archer, as I said before, the archer and the slinger have their own advantages.
Generally speaking, the archer is a more comprehensive class, and most of the battles can be handled, if it is replaced by other players, after the bow and arrow development is completed, they may directly abandon the slinger and replace all the ranged troops under their command with more comprehensive archers.
But Luo Ji is different, he has a development plan for himself, in order to deal with the invasion of other players in the early stage, the preset playing routine for himself is to focus on the farming style of defending the city! And in the defense of the city, the slinger is a class of troops that works wonders!
In this way, after the successful development of the bow and arrow, Luo Ji, who did not intend to give up the slingers, planned to leave a part of the slingers as a permanent tribal camp as a garrison of the city, and then turn the remaining part into archers, so that they could follow the warrior troops to fight in the field at any time.
During this period, Zhou Yue, who was a tribal warrior, rushed back to the tribal camp again to report the news of the front line to Luo Ji......
After listening to the content of Zhou Yue's report, Luo Ji frowned slightly, "Barbarians from other tribes have appeared?" ”
"Yes, but the barbarians only showed their heads slightly, and after seeing the hyena pack blocking outside, they left."
Those barbarians don't seem to be stupid, they know that after getting closer, it is easy to provoke this group of notorious ancient hooligans, so after taking a look from a distance and discovering the situation here, they left directly, obviously not planning to get involved, Luo Ji didn't have any idea about this, and said directly, "Don't worry about them for the time being, talk about the situation of that group of hyenas." ”
"Over the course of a few days, the number of hyenas wandering around the periphery has decreased, and now there are only five hyenas left, and the captain said that they should have split up, with some of the hyenas going elsewhere to hunt for food, while some of them stayed here and continued to look for opportunities."
"Zhao Pan is right." Luo Ji nodded and agreed with Zhao Pan's judgment, "Don't be careless, hold on for a few more days, and it will be over soon." ”
Luo Ji, who developed the bow and arrow, had already taken the calmness of being the dominant party in his words and deeds, quickly ordered Zhao Pan to arrange his plan, and then carefully selected five people with outstanding talents in archery from the original slingers, and formed the first archer team from them.
Considering the reason that the arrows are consumables, the five-person squad in the early stage is relatively safe, no matter how many people there are, I am afraid that there is a risk of not being able to afford it, and the collapse of economic resources is simply a shame for the players of the farming stream, as a man who vows to become the 'king of farming', how could Luo Ji make such a low-level mistake?
There is no need to practice any fixed arrow targets, actual combat is the best teaching! This person was forced out, Luo Ji went directly into battle in person, and in the previous test of the bow and arrow test, he had already shot more than 500 arrows, and now it is more than enough for him to teach these rookies.
"Look!" I saw that Luo Ji was bending his bow and arrows at the same time, and as soon as he took aim, the sharp arrow on the string had already shot towards a hyena in the distance with a 'boom', and the whole set of actions actually carried a little bit of flowing water, which seemed quite powerful.
The cunning hyena had obviously never seen such a weapon, and the arrows that flew out of the string flew so fast that the hyena had no time to react, and in the blink of an eye, only a wail sounded in the distance, and a cruel blood flower bloomed in the eye socket of one of the hyenas! Luo Ji's casual arrow actually directly blinded the eyes of one of the hyenas!!
