Chapter 239: Nanocomposite Bow

Halfway up the mountainside, it was shrouded in mist, and it was gray when looking down from the sky, even the chaotic creatures could only find a general direction through the breath of the living, but they could not see the specific location of those living people.

The leading bat banshee let out a long roar, and led the men behind her to descend to the height, preparing to circle along the mountain path halfway up the mountain, looking for traces of prey.

But the moment they burrowed into the mist, behind the rocky clearing, a roar rang out.

"Fire!"

In response, there was a burst of gunfire like beans.

"Bang ——!"

The fire flickered, and the white smoke smelled of sulfur soon melted into the mist that filled the mountains. With the bang of gunfire, most of the bat banshees who descended in height were killed and injured in an instant.

It was too late to evacuate, let alone flee with their backs to a group of helpless humans, and even if Lord Solo would forgive their sins, Sagre would not tolerate such a cowardly creature in his ranks.

The bat banshee made a bad decision, and in the middle of the ground musketeers' fire, she let out a piercing howl, holding back the pain of bleeding her wings.

Having received the order to charge, the Batwoman flying in mid-air, with her claws in the shape of an eagle pounce, folded her wings and began to dive.

However, before they could dive halfway, the musketeers in the front row crouched down to reload, and the musketeers waiting in the back row set up their flintlock pistols and pulled the trigger.

Another bean-sprinkled gun echoed through the mountains, and the muzzles of the guns spewed fire in the white mist.

At this moment, standing on the top of the mountain, Jiang Feng silently overlooked the battlefield halfway up the mountain, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

These bat banshees, he didn't take it to heart, as long as these militiamen could overcome the fear in their hearts, a salvo would be enough to kill and injure most of those birdmen.

What really cared about him was the beast's roar that came from the bottom of the mountain earlier.

Halfway up the mountainside of the battlefield, at the foot of this mountain, he felt a huge chaotic aura, and he was moving through the fog, thinking about the position of the mercenary group.

In contrast, the chaotic aura exuded by this group of bat banshees who sneaked around and attacked behind them was just a small boat in the sea.

At this time, Leia, who was carrying a bow and arrow, walked over and stopped beside Jiang Feng.

"When are we leaving?"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment before speaking.

"Anytime...... But before that, come with me to the shelter. ”

"Shelter?"

"Well, the enemy down the hill may not be so easy to deal with, and I need to make a little preparation."

After one last glance at the mist below the mountain, Jiang Feng turned around and walked down the mountain.

……

For Leia, this is not the first time she has been to the shelter, and she has been living here for the past few days...... Sleeping with her sister Emily.

For Leia, Jiang Feng treats everyone equally, except for the experimental area and the work area, she is not allowed to enter the outside, and she can use all the equipment in the living area at will...... Whether it's a shower that automatically adjusts the water temperature or even washes automatically, or an AR panoramic game console that can pass the time and relieve boredom.

After experiencing the convenience of high technology, Leia still remembers how she sighed at that time, and how developed Jiang Feng came from. But what she didn't know was that what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and these things were like tables and chairs, things that were too ordinary to be mentioned.

Following Jiang Feng back to the shelter, Leia couldn't help but wonder why she had brought herself here before leaving. When she saw Jiang Feng walking towards the direction of the work area with her, she couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face.

"Do you need me to wait for you outside?" Out of politeness, Leia stopped at the door of the work area and asked.

"No, just come in...... Of course, only this once. ”

Hanging the robe casually on the hanger at the door, Jiang Feng found a metal table.

The table is filled with all kinds of tools, from small screwdrivers for universal purposes to large 3D printers.

Most of the colony's equipment and tools can be built from this crafting table. However, Jiang Feng originally didn't plan to stay on this planet for too long, so this kind of shelter has never been expanded.

"What is this?"

"3D printers are mainly used to make tools. Of course, weapons can also be crafted. ”

Saying that, Jiang Feng took out a few iron ingots from the storage box next to him, stuffed them into the 3D printer from the feed port, and then pressed the button for material decomposition.

These ingots are all produced by the Samun tribe below the mountain, and the quality is average, but these don't matter. Anyway, Jiang Feng couldn't use that kind of steel produced by the local method to build his own weapons. For changes that do not involve the molecular level, such as adjusting the carbon content and adding chromium, this low-power 3D printer can still easily do it.

With the humming of the current sound, the ingots stuffed into the printer were broken down into sub-level materials, and then a holographic panel popped out in front of him.

"For me, a bow is enough." Leia shook her head, she had been practicing archery since she was a child, and she didn't think that there was any weapon more suitable for her than a bow and arrow.

In this regard, Jiang Feng smiled noncommittally, "Bow and arrow, yes?" Then the bow and arrow are good. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and lightly scratched the list of drawings, the streamlined mechanical compound bow at the very end of the selection.

In order to adapt to the needs of various terrains, explorers in the galaxy occasionally equipped their personal equipment with equipment such as bows and arrows.

However, this kind of thing is generally not used as a weapon, but as a special projection item. For example, it is necessary to launch a hook, or to place a small detector or aerial beacon.

However, even if it is rarely used as a weapon, this type of mechanical composite bow using nanomaterials is quite amazing in terms of lethality.

With plasma arrows, it is not a problem to take away an aboriginal tank with one arrow. Even ordinary arrows, because of the mass of the arrows themselves, when dealing with some large targets, the stopping effect of hitting the target is even stronger than that of some electromagnetic rifles.

But the rate of fire doesn't help, after all, it's not a weapon per se, and although there are some whimsical explorers who add magazines and autoloaders to mechanical bows and arrows, those designs are more of a hobby than for practicality.

"Bowstring...... Filled with nano-ceramic materials. ”

"Bow Blade...... Filled with plastic elastomeric panels. ”

"Mechanical gears...... Filled with A16 steel. ”

"Gear shaft ......"

The type and amount of materials were set for each part of the nanomechanical composite bow, and finally Jiang Feng clicked the determined button.

The moment the button was pressed, pale blue lines emerged from the silvery-white disc, outlining the outline of the nanomechanical composite bow in the air. Immediately afterward, pale blue particles of light emerged and began to fill the illusory hologram.

About ten minutes later, when the hologram was filled in, on the 3D printer's outlet, a mechanical bow was lying motionless.

Looking at the strangely shaped bow and arrow, a hint of surprise appeared in Leia's eyes, and she reached out to touch it, and even felt the temperature from her fingertips.

"The nano-mechanical composite bow can adjust the tension with voice control, measure the landing point of the arrow and preview the trajectory...... Although this will make it a lot less fun to shoot. Looking at Leia, who was full of astonishment, Jiang Feng smiled slightly, "It's a New Year's gift I gave you in advance, I hope you're quite satisfied." ”
