Chapter 47: The Prototype Bow

"Is there a bow maker here?" asked Stannis, having found the raw materials and now making it into his ideal longbow with a pair of skillful hands.

Everyone shook their heads, for most of these peasant bows were homemade.

"It's tricky. He felt a little troubled, because he knew that a single longbow was not just a stick to be used as a bow, and then a thin line could be tied to go out and shoot people. In order to get the most out of the material, the ratio of the two woods needs to be extremely precise, and the variation of the thickness of the bow arm and even the degree of relaxation of the bowstring needs to be carefully adjusted.

This kind of delicate work is not something that can be mastered by the big men in front of them with thick fingers like lotus roots.

"What about the carpenter?" Stannis promised with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

"Boss, when you say that, I think of another person. "Robert always needs to be at the whistle to remember someone.

"Who?" he asked impatiently.

"An old carpenter, like Wood or something, lives next to your castle. ”

"Quick, take me!" Stannis pulled him out of the barracks.

Soon, he and his staff arrived at the carpenter's house.

The old carpenter, who was almost sixty years old, was packing up his things and preparing to leave for his daughter, whom he had married on the outskirts of the royal capital.

"Do you know how to make a bow?" Stannis slashed in.

"Yes, of course, my lord, I was a good bow-maker when I was young. The old man said happily, and he was putting the tools he had used all his life into the wooden box.

It really didn't take much effort, and Stannis was overjoyed, "Then I want you to stay and help me make a bow, the price is negotiable." ”

Unexpectedly, the carpenter refused, "My lord, I'm too old to do anything, I finally lived to this age, and I should be idle and leisurely, and it just so happened that my daughter wrote to me to bring my grandchildren, so you still appreciate it." ”

Stannis touched his chin, and he said very understandingly: "Old man, I understand your desire to enjoy family fun...... Korodov, pull him to the river and cut him, I fainted blood. ”

"My lord, my lord, spare my life! I did nothing wrong!" Wood hurriedly begged for mercy.

"As a lord, I'm going to let you do something and you're still holding back, do you say you owe it!" Stannis said sharply.

The carpenter cried with a sad face, "My lord, I can do it, can't I do it?"

Just wait for your words!, Stanis turned and motioned for his men to bring in a large piece of wood, which was the trunk of the greenwood that had been dried in the air.

"I order you to make me a perfect longbow within a month, and make it from this kind of tree, and the pulling force must reach at least 120 pounds! I don't care about the shape, workmanship, and wood ratio, if you can't make it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Actually, three days is enough, my lord, I'll do my best!" Wood agreed, and it seemed that making a 120-pound strongbow would not be a problem for him.

Three days later.

A longbow nearly a man tall was presented to Stannis.

When he saw the real longbow for the first time, he obviously couldn't put it down, and this high-powered bow and arrow was really handsome as in the video, and it didn't look like the shape of the bow in the fantasy world had changed much.

He tugged on the bowstring, feeling it tightly tied.

"Kanye, you come and try this bow. Stannis greeted.

The bow instructor walked over, rubbed it very carefully, observed, and adjusted the bow for a long time before he spoke, "Yes, it's a good bow, I estimate that it can reach 180 pounds, but how far it can shoot and how accurate it is, I have to test it myself." ”

The prototype of this bow is so powerful! So even the power of the simple production model is estimated to be more than 150 pounds, and now the remaining question is whether his gang can pull it?

"Boss, would you like to try it?" said Robert, ill-intentioned.

"Try it!" Although he knew that he would make a fool of himself, Stannis also wanted to taste the feeling of pulling his bow full and pretending to be a marksman.

"By the way, get me a pair of gloves. "He's always had the shadow that if he doesn't get it right when he releases the bowstring, he'll cut his fingers off.

Soon, a gloved Stannis appeared at the shooting range with a longbow on his shoulder, and a crowd gathered there to watch.

He took a deep breath and learned to hold the bow in his left hand and pull the string in his right hand like in the movies, but he used the strength to feed, and he was only half full.

Kanye on the side can't stand it, this guy clearly can't use the bow!

He stepped forward and helped Stannis adjust his position.

"My lord, the bow is not all about the strength of the arms, but more importantly, the strength of the waist, you have to start from the soles of your feet and then transmit it all the way to your lower back. ”

After adjusting, Stannis felt his ass completely pout.

But not to mention, this posture is combined with the method that Kanye said, and Stannis really stretched the longbow all the way.

The people around them all exclaimed, after all, no matter how skillful they were, it was not something that ordinary people could do to pull out such a large weight longbow.

"Worthy of being a son of a dragon, born with divine powers!" Robert exclaimed.

But the most proud is Stannis, he didn't expect that he would be so powerful, from a weak otaku to a tough guy who can draw a strong bow, and the distance only needs to be crossed.

Then, he let go of his hand triumphantly.

The bow and arrow were still in the air, but he flew straight out of the air.

"It's too powerful, isn't it? After a dog smash, Stannis began to understand why the knight's premise was not to use ranged weapons.

Robert stepped forward to help him up, and Stannis patted the dust on his body, not annoyed, but a little happy.

For when such a mighty bow falls into the hands of his men, it is a sign that his enemies are about to suffer.

Next, it's time to test the specific parameters of the longbow.

Of course, this time the user was replaced by Kanye.

Stannis found a scarecrow and put a layer of iron armor on it, which was the dummy he used to experiment with the power of the longbow.

But he still felt that something was missing, "I feel that something is wrong with this dummy." ”

At this point Korodov walked up, he put a sack over the scarecrow's head and drew a squeaky expression, and wrote the name 'Robert' on the front of the tin sheet.

"Don't say it, it's a lot of feeling. Stannis agreed.

"Why do you want to write my name!" protested Radish.

"Can it be more realistic? Stannis encouraged his men to keep going.

At this moment, Bachelor Romon came out trembling again, and he drew a small chicken on the crotch of the scarecrow.

Everyone didn't expect this steady old man to have this hand, and they laughed out loud.

Except for Robert, who was the only one who was unhappy, "I said old Romon, you are so old, why are you still so disrespectful." ”

"Alright, alright, stop playing, Radish, you and I carry this dummy to the grass. Kanye, is 300 meters enough?"

The black man gestured to him with a yes gesture.

"Then let's get started. ”
