Chapter 0230: Arrow Shaft

Soon after the construction of Harmony Village began, there was an area in the village called 'No. 4' that was on high security and forbidden to outsiders. When Zhou Qingfeng was planning, he placed the 'No. 4' area in the middle of the village and surrounded it with administrative and military camps.

Compared with the lively taverns, the 'No. 4' area is only 100 meters away from it, and it also makes noisy noises from time to time. But all of its movements are largely masked by the noisier forge and few people pay attention.

Most of the people who work in Area 4 are the villagers who originally followed Zhou Qingfeng out of the village. They have been repeatedly screened, educated, and trained, and the total number is less than fifty, but they are the true descendants of His Excellency the President, and they are by no means different from outsiders.

These descendants are neither powerful nor tall and strong, and they come out with a very ordinary appearance, no different from the rest of the village. But for their food, clothing, accommodation and even marriage, Zhou Qingfeng gave them the highest treatment.

Because on the population registration form of Harmony Village, the identity of these people is - workers.

The architecture of the 'fourth' district is also nothing special, and it is not very large, with a few spacious bungalows in the ordinary. The villagers' converted workers have been receiving Sophia's 'online education' since the early days, and Shealy didn't even get involved in it.

Repeated education, repeated training, these workers have a little knowledge. Able to read and write a small number of simple characters, perform addition and subtraction calculations, be able to memorize the 'ninety-nine table', and have a basic understanding of scale units.

This level is placed in the illiterate Harmony Village, which is already considered an intellectual - many people in the village did not even have a name, and the title was just a nickname. People who call 'sludge', 'shit' and 'stinky balls' abound.

It's just a bunch of low-level workers, paired with a low-level workshop, who make something unusual—arrow shafts. Straight, well-proportioned, uniform size, light and heavy arrows.

Don't underestimate the shaft, it's important.

Not long after Zhou Qingfeng arrived in the Otherworld, he found that all the products here could not be consistent in large quantities. The pots and pans in life, the swords, guns and armor in battle, are all one by one.

Humans lack fangs and claws, and their most important weapons are arrows that can be attacked from a distance. The biggest consumable is also the arrow. The biggest difficulty in the arrow is the well-proportioned shaft.

But all the arrows that Zhou Qingfeng had seen were different, and their lengths and thicknesses were very different. The greatest skill of an experienced hunter is to adapt to different arrows. Because it is difficult to achieve exactly the same by sharpening the shaft by hand. Yields are also particularly low.

Uncle Zhou met with the Black Forest 'heroes' in Tielu Village, and he saw those local guys with a dagger to split wood and sharpen arrow shafts by themselves. After cutting it for a long time, I still held it up and judged whether it was straight by sight. As for the coarse and fine points, the requirements should not be too high.

An archer may not be able to sharpen ten arrows in half a day, but it only takes a few breaths to shoot them. What should I do if I run out of arrows during a battle? Go up and do the fight.

In Zhou Qingfeng's mind, if you can shoot from a distance, you don't need to fight in close combat. After he occupied the village, he pondered about the arrows, and the first industrial project he started after the construction of the village was a carpentry lathe for making arrow shafts.

After all, he is also a person who has received nine-year compulsory education, Zhou Qingfeng found some simple design drawings in the real world, and worked with his carpenters to figure it out.

First of all, a uniform measuring tool is made, and a heavy square table is built into the ground as a workbench. Remanufacture of simple jigs, knives. Since there are no bearings, the bench that can rotate stably and has enough strength makes Zhou Qingfeng very troubled.

But the woodworking lathe is the simplest mechanical tool, and it is still built with various information tips. At first, it still needed manpower to operate, but Zhou Qingfeng quickly equipped it with a wind drive, which can work day and night.

Once the lathe is in motion, it opens the door to a new world. The rough-machined bars are clamped and rotated on the bench, and the cutter slides gently along the shaft to obtain a high-quality shaft in half a minute.

The lathe was made entirely of wood, made of no metal, and was ridiculously shabby, a scrap piece of scrap that was put together like a child building blocks. But it only needs to work for an hour, and the efficiency is better than that of ten carpenters working in a day!

With the first woodworking lathe, Zhou Qingfeng quickly used it to upgrade himself and produce components for the second woodworking lathe. The processing schedule and efficiency go far beyond manual work. Replace some of the key components with metal and you're perfect.

With lathes, finer parts can be machined very quickly. Coupled with a wind-powered sawing machine, wood processing is not a difficult task. With a large number of wooden planks, the construction speed of the village can be greatly improved. One step at a time, very steady.

Compared with the unreliable wind forging machine in the forging yard, the woodworking system is simpler and more practical. Zhou Qingfeng didn't let outsiders interfere at all, and only used his trusted descendants.

The abundant timber resources of the Black Forest provide the workshop with an abundance of raw materials, and several lathes work day and night. At most, three or four thousand arrow shafts can be supplied in a day. The arrows in the forge are not enough.

When Zhou Qingfeng went to the 'Silver Leaf City' to explore, the workshop began trial production in small batches. By the time he returned, the workshop's warehouse was filled with 30,000 standard arrows and more than 70,000 unassembled shafts.

"Sell, take it out and sell it!"

When Harmony Village opened a new map and a new copy of the Black Forest Adventure map, Zhou Qingfeng did not hesitate to order the sale of the arrows in stock, "but only to customers who purchase our expedition gift packages." A bundle of fifty copper coins was sold openly. ”

The adventurers who came to Harmony Village were getting emotional by the news of the opening of 'Silver Leaf City', and found that there was a weapon shop open opposite the tavern. The main product of the store is bundles of arrows.

All the arrows are almost identical, and each one seems to have been carefully chosen. Archers no longer have to worry about the differences between different arrows, as long as they get used to one arrow, they can shoot the next arrow in a row. It's about getting the equipment to fit the person.

There is a small shooting range next to the weapons shop, and all the adventurers who want to make a fortune flock to test it. As long as the people who have used the standard arrows of the 'Harmony' brand, they will all praise it. This is too good for a lot of people who are not good at archery.

The most rare thing is that the 'Harmony' brand standard arrows are well-made and cheap. After all, arrows are consumables, and it is common to shoot a dozen or twenty arrows in a battle. If it's too expensive, you can't afford it.

To celebrate the opening of new maps and new dungeons in the Black Forest, the Weapons Shop offers a great deal. A bundle of ten fifty copper coins, which is half the price of other places. Buy 10 bundles and get a quiver, and buy 20 bundles and get a bottle of 'paralysis potion'.

As soon as the shop opened, there was a crowd of adventurers at the door who paid for it. The five hundred pots of arrows that had been prepared in advance were quickly sold out, and another five hundred had to be sold.

After selling the arrows, the salesperson in the store had to ask, "Honored customer, after buying the arrows, don't you want another bottle of enchantment potion?" At the critical moment, you can kill a strong enemy, or you can save your life and fight again. For a limited time, don't miss it! ”
