Chapter 17: The Bow
Zhou didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Got up early the next morning, had breakfast, changed into a more suitable jungle hunting outfit, Zhou Zheng just carried Nepal and a dagger, abandoned the gun, and took Zhou An and Lan Xi out.
On the playground of Ruoda, the slogan of shaking the sky sounded, whether it was a trainee martial artist or some people who had already stepped into the ranks of martial artists, all of them appeared here early, receiving the guidance of cultivation, and desperately improving themselves when the star power of the world was at its strongest in the early morning.
Zhou Zheng's appearance made some noise, but it quickly calmed down.
When passing by the firearms playground, the soldiers who were being trained above all looked at Zhou Zheng with strange eyes. Who knows the marksmanship of the strict instructor better than them? Young Master Zhou and Instructor Yan competed in marksmanship, and they were put outside the city to try hunting, this is not looking for death.
"Maybe Young Master Zhou is no longer sober-minded, so he would commit such a foolish thing."
This is everyone's thoughts, or in their hearts, Zhou Zheng is classified into the category of self-abandonment.
Zhou Zheng looked at everyone with mockery, schadenfreude and sympathy, and did not pay attention to it, but took Zhou An and Lan Xi through the training area and appeared in the business district. It is home to all the functions of the entire walled city, not only as a place for trading, but also as a place for some shops.
There is almost no economic talk of the New World, and it is more like a return to a primitive state.
The economy in the besieged city is mainly self-sufficient.
This is the first time Zhou Zheng has set foot in this area after crossing, a commercial area composed of several streets, in fact, there are not a few shops of all kinds, although they are small, but they are also full of organs, enough to ensure the needs of the siege.
"Bell ......"
When you come to the largest blacksmith shop, you can hear the sound of striking iron coming from inside.
The people who fled in a hurry built the current siege almost with their bare hands, and they overcame all kinds of difficulties to accomplish many impossible things with the local methods left by their ancestors. In this blacksmith shop, a large number of weapons and agricultural tools were created for the siege by combining the most traditional methods with some modern techniques.
A big man with a height of 1.9 meters and a high upper body is holding a hammer, hammering the iron he is holding one by one.
Under the dark skin, there are hidden steel muscles like dragons, and the green tendons on the arms burst out, bursting with amazing power in the beating.
Seeing Zhou Zheng appear, Hao Yun stopped what he was doing.
"Young Master Zhou, what do you need?"
The hoarse but powerful voice, the big man standing in front of him like an iron tower, is born to give people an oppressive force, Zhou Zheng is in front of him, and he is completely worthy of the word weak and can't help the wind. is a head and a half taller than Zhou Zheng, and his arms are almost comparable to Zhou Zheng's thighs, this gap is not ordinarily large.
Zhou Zheng's eyes swept around the blacksmith shop.
The walls of the blacksmith shop are covered with all kinds of cold weapons, which are dazzling, and what is even more rare is that each of these cold weapons is extremely exquisite, showing superhuman craftsmanship.
Several co-workers were busy in the blacksmith's shop, doing some cutting and other work.
"I need a strong bow, do you have one here?"
"Bow?" Hao Yun looked at Zhou Zheng in astonishment, these days, under the firearms, there are not many people who use bows, almost none. Due to various conditions, the bow, a kind of weapon, forms chicken ribs. When it comes to silence, guns are certainly not as good as bows, but the emergence of mufflers, the gap is not as big as imagined.
However, Hao Yun didn't have too many doubts, and said: "Young Master Zhou, the craft of the compound bow, at the current level, there is no way to create it. ”
Compound bows are very complex, especially modern compound bows, and their precision cannot be done by hand.
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not a compound bow, it's a strong bow." ”
Hao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Zhou, you wait a minute. He put down the hammer, went into a corner inside, rummaged through it, and quickly took out a large bow. This big bow is very simple, no different from the ancient bow, the only difference is that its own materials are different, and the craftsmanship is also different.
"Young Master Zhou, there is only this bow from a long time ago, what do you think?"
Zhou Zheng took it and tried it, and the strength of the bowstring made Zhou Zheng frightened, afraid that it would not be less than ten stones.
Hao Yun explained: "The twelve-stone bow does not have the power of more than three hundred catties, and there is no way to use it. ”
"Where's the arrow?" Zhou Zheng said as he pulled the bowstring.
Of course, there are bows and arrows, and Hao Yun brought out twenty arrows from the corner, but these arrows were rough, and at a glance, he knew that they were in a hurry. Hao Yun was a little embarrassed: "Young Master Zhou, that's all, if you have any requirements for arrows, it's best to find some meteorite bamboos to make arrows." ”
Meteorite bamboo is a mutant plant, it is only the size of a tail finger, extremely straight, like bamboo but not bamboo.
It can be called meteorite bamboo, but you can imagine how hard it is, no less than steel, and the weight is no different from ordinary bamboo, many people are collected and used as some supports. In the periphery of the besieged city, it is also a common mutant plant.
It takes more than 300 catties of force to pull the bowstring of this longbow, and it is true that not everyone can use it.
You need at least the second stage of the warrior to use this longbow.
But Zhou Zheng recognized it, no one understood why Zhou Zheng would want such a longbow like chicken ribs, only Zhou Zheng understood that the bow was in his hands, in a special environment, more convenient and practical than a gun, so as to be truly silent.
Hanging this longbow on his shoulder, Zhou Zheng said, "I collected meteorite bamboo, can you process it into arrow feathers?" ”
"Of course."
Leaving the business district, Lan Xi couldn't help but say, "Young Master, what's the use of us asking for this bow, isn't it better to use a crossbow?" ”
The stability of the crossbow is far from being comparable to that of a bow.
But......
In Zhou Zheng's heart, it also depends on whose hands it is used. The requirements of the bow for people are far from being comparable to crossbows, whether it is eyesight, arm strength, and accuracy, etc., all vary from person to person, and it is extremely difficult to master. Although there are all kinds of disadvantages, it can exercise a person's coordination ability, which is not something that a crossbow can do.
The precision skills of the thieves, when applied to the bow and arrow, will be far more effective than the guns.
Pulling out the giant bow of the twelve stones is far from being something that a trainee martial artist can do, but now Zhou Zheng, his arm strength is not bad, and it is more than enough to use this strong bow.
When passing by the playground, the exaggerated bow that Zhou Zheng was carrying was the stunned eyes of countless people, and it was certain that if they had glasses, they would definitely shatter their eyes. To paraphrase popular terms, Zhou Zheng's change blinded their titanium alloy dog eyes.
Many people shook their heads secretly, they still had a trace of expectation for Zhou Zheng, and now it seems that Young Master Zhou, who is not doing his job, is no longer a dou who can't be supported.
Sighs and sarcasm rang out to each other, and even Zhou An and Lan Xi were hot for the young master.
On the contrary, Zhou Zheng was calm and calm, and Shi Shi walked naturally, not affected by these remarks at all.
"Zhou An, let someone collect some meteorite bamboo, and then send it to Hao Yun, so that he can process it into arrow feathers."
"Okay young master."
