Chapter 75: Bamboo is a National Treasure

The next thing is to lead the sheep and go, cut down the trees, cut the tents, and configure the tools and materials. Although the movements are far less neat than those teenagers, there is indeed a different kind of calm and steady. That's right, burning pottery is to be stable, isn't it burning in vain if the monkey is in a hurry?

As rows of blazing fires rose in the cave, all kinds of boiling water and molten mud dredging work was officially launched. And the most difficult thing is undoubtedly the dredging, these mud cubes that are like tofu in the summer are like rocks in the winter, not to mention that everyone is a bone hoe and a stone shovel, even if there is boiling water to melt the mud, the effect is not good.

Of course, Wang Qiang knew how capricious it was to dig the mud in this winter, if it weren't for the fire in the cave to ward off the cold, the mud would freeze in a few seconds, but—there was nothing to do, it was the willfulness of the chieftain who knew he couldn't do it in order to make wine.

Thinking of this, Wang Qiang was a little ashamed. In the past, I always felt that Shang Xun Xia Wei was very mediocre, and if he was replaced by any ordinary lord player, he would not be as messy as them, but when he came to his own super player, he was still in chaos. This one...... I can't stand it anymore, so let's go back and toss the crane.

In other words, there is an egg for tossing cranes? It's kind of willful, but—there's nothing to do, the chief has nothing to do. But then again, it's a good thing for a civilization that the supreme leader has nothing to do! This shows that the country's system is perfect and healthy, for example, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been running like a country for 30 years. Thinking like this, Wang Qiang immediately became open-minded.

And when it came to eggs, Wang Qiang suddenly thought about whether the crane would lay eggs here? Do migratory birds lay eggs in the north or in the south? Wang Qiang shook his head helplessly, ignorance is really a sadness.

In short, after the clansmen were settled, Wang Qiang encouraged everyone and rode back amid the cheers and cheers of the clansmen.

As a result, when I went back, it was already dark in the afternoon, and the winter night always came so early. Then the matter of the crane will be said tomorrow.

What's next? As a super player who is racing against the clock, I feel deeply distressed again. A normal tribe should start reproducing the population after eating, but this tribe is not normal, and there are no young women except for a dozen young women like Sister Hua.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Qiang was a little afraid, but fortunately, he sent everyone out to work as coolies and squeezed all their physical strength, otherwise I would have become the Green Emperor! So, go check out the elders working on heavy slingshots. Of course, Wang Qiang actually didn't have much hope, after all, his predecessor was so wise and martial in the end, he still used a throwing gun, hoping that they would be able to study something after playing the ice crossbow for two days?

Under the guidance of Xiang Gang, Wang Qiang came to a bamboo forest, and the fire in the cleared field cut down in the bamboo forest was blazing and human figures were surging. Wang Qiang was very pleased, and they began to implement it seriously after saying a word, even if there was no result, it was a comforting thing.

When Wang Qiang arrived, the crowd cheered: "Divine envoy, divine envoy!" Take a look at our results! ”

Wang Qiang frowned, didn't he? Could it be true and fruitful?

The crowd immediately dispersed, and the three of them came to Wang Qiang with a bundle of long small bamboos, each bamboo was only as thick as a finger, and a bundle had more than ten bamboos. The two ends of the bamboo bundle are tied together with a thick rope, which looks like a super giant bow more than ten meters long. Wrong! It is made of two bundles of bamboo, and the person in the middle carries the joint point bound with thick wood.

Wang Qiang's eyes widened, he actually knew how to make a compound bow? Does it work?

The crowd didn't say a word: "First show the power of the divine envoy!" ”

A group of people immediately took place, five people hugged the middle of the bamboo bundle together, and the other five people put a rope into the bowstring, and then these ten people shouted and pulled the rope like a tug-of-war and opened the bow! In the crunching sound, this bundle of giant bows more than ten meters long was really bent!

This is the power of five people to draw the bow, according to the kinetic energy into potential energy, potential energy into kinetic energy of the "bow principle", this arrow is equivalent to the collection of five people's strength! Wang Qiang couldn't help but be excited and said, "Can you?" ”

"Yes!" Then someone immediately handed a long bamboo pole over and hung the string in place!

"Shoot!" As everyone shouted in unison, the bowstring let go, and the giant arrow of the bamboo pole snapped into the bamboo forest above their heads, and the five people who grabbed the bow were also huge and almost fell to the ground.

Off the strings!

The scene instantly became awkward. But Wang Qiang does see great potential. It's very common for an arrow to go off the string, even if it's a modern mechanical bow as advanced as an Olympic competition, it will occasionally come out like this. However, as long as you can create a powerful bow arm, the other problems are actually minor!

And it's wonderful to use a small bamboo pole to make a bow! What is a small bamboo rod, of course, it is a traditional material for making fishing rods, elastic, a seemingly inconspicuous small fishing rod can be used with seven or eight catties of fishing, and ordinary wood can do it?

Wait a minute! Speaking of which, when I was a child, my grandfather took me to fish, and there is a key process for making fishing rods, that is, roasting bamboo with fire, and drying the water, the fibers of the small bamboo are tighter, tougher and more elastic. It seems that although they lit a fire, it was only used to bake the fire and burn the branches of the bamboo? They didn't bake bamboo poles?

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and said unwillingly: "Lord God, we were too excited just now, and we will definitely be able to do it this time!" ”

Wang Qiang laughed: "Okay, try again!" ”

So everyone lifted their spirits, raised the bow again, and as the bow body pulled out the half moon again, a bamboo pole was hung with the rope string again.

This time, everyone held their breath: "Release!" ”

- Bang! With a stirring sound, the bamboo pole roared out and shot into the air, shaking and shaking in the air like a writhing long snake, and then drew a strange arc, until it fell on the hillside one or two hundred meters away with a snap.

At this moment, all the clansmen at the scene looked at Wang Qiang with a look of anticipation, and their eyes were full of anticipation of "praise me".

Meet you! Wang Qiang shouted: "Good! Keep up the good work! ”

Everyone shouted wildly, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm when they looked at Wang Qiang, which felt as happy as the kindergarten children being praised by the teacher.

This is a clansman who has both simplicity and wisdom, and Wang Qiang himself may not be able to think of it, no! I didn't expect it at all, who would have thought that this Stone Age tool backward material limit could really toss this kind of giant bow?

Wang Qiang asked with emotion: "How did you come up with the idea of making it with bamboo poles?" ”

Everyone smiled proudly: "My predecessor said that bamboo is our national treasure, and bamboo has many uses, it can be used to make weapons, armor, houses, and baskets!" Still writing books or something? ”

"Bamboo grows very fast, bamboo shoots can be eaten, and they can also be dried into bamboo shoots and kept for cooking in winter!"

"There are bamboo rats under the bamboo forest, and bamboo rats are also very delicious! When the winter is over, we will catch bamboo rats for the Divine Envoy ......"

I'll it! They still know more than their brothers! That's right, bamboo is China's national treasure, and there is no bamboo in Europe, Africa and West Asia, which is a gift from nature to our civilization! It was decided, the Xia Ji dragon boat was made of bamboo, and wood has never been more suitable for shipbuilding than bamboo, a plant that is naturally hollow and strong.

As for now, of course, I can still point them in a wave! The bamboo pole just now flew so dangling in the air because there was no "tail wing", and it could be improved!

Wang Qiang sighed with emotion: "This big bow can continue to be improved, you remove the bamboo bundles, put them on the fire one by one, and roast them until they are very soft and elastic......"
