Chapter Seventy-Five: The Experiment Was Successful

The trebuchet looks simple, but it is very troublesome to make, and it is even more troublesome to operate, because the materials are very simple, and I don't know if the bearing is crushed as soon as it is pulled down.

While the tribe was watching, Chen Mo brought seven more muscular warriors to the trebuchet.

Chen Mo clenched his fists and cheered himself up: "Come on! It works! The trebuchet we made is invincible, it works!"

Chen Mo is looking forward to having multiple pig's foot buffs at this moment, which can help him dominate the primitive.

For example, now you only need to stand on the edge of the river and jump hard, and you can jump over the river more than 200 meters wide.

Or a thunderbolt struck down, Chen Mo learned to float on the iron-legged river that had been lost for many years, and he could easily shuttle between the two sides of the river.

Or maybe Chen Mo stood by the river, gathered his qi in the dantian, exhaled a breath of cold air, and froze the turbulent river, and everyone from the navy tribe happily walked to the other side of the river......

Well, this is just Chen Mo's own fantasy, and it is impossible in a primitive society.

After Chen Mo finished cheering himself up, he led the clansmen to tie the rattan rope at the end of the empty head, and then inserted the strong basket, and then asked the clansmen to put the stones into the bamboo basket at the other end.

Several bamboo baskets were filled with stones, and the end of the basket was raised high, Chen Mo called the seven muscular men who were watching the excitement over, grabbed the rattan hanging down from their heads, and pulled them down hard.

"Crunch" "Crunch" makes a noisy sound at the bearing.

The throwing end begins to bend down slowly.

When the clansmen saw the effect, they excitedly shouted: "The throwing end is down, it's down!"

Pulling down with great difficulty, Chen Mo vaguely felt a lot lighter.

Hai, who had 5.0 eyes, hurriedly ran to the front and shouted at Chen Mo: "Chief, the bamboo basket is missing!

"Hold a big grass!" Chen Mo glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and there was a hole in the bottom of one of the several bamboo baskets that were hung up, and the stones began to fall down the hole.

"Quick, I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will let go!" Chen Mo felt that pulling the throwing end was not as difficult as it was at the beginning, so he shouted anxiously.

The clansmen who pulled the rattan together heard Chen Mo let them go, and let go of their hands one after another.

"Ready, one, two...... "Chen Mo, who was shouting counting, had just shouted two, and was dragged up by a pulling force, Chen Mo grabbed the rattan tightly and hung it in the air.

"Chief, Chief!" the crowd shouted anxiously when they saw Chen Mo being hung in the air.

Chen Mo was dangling in mid-air, well, Chen Mo felt that it was quite funny. I swinged it again, and it was really fun.

Chen Mo slid down the rattan carefully, looking at Zhuang who was mixed in the crowd with an iron face.

Zhuang didn't realize his mistake, and when he saw Chen Mo looking at him, he laughed twice.

Chen Mo ignored Zhuang, walked to the bamboo basket and squatted down, unloaded the stones in the bamboo basket with the help of the clansmen, and observed the broken bamboo basket.

The fracture of the bamboo basket, in fact, is not a complaint, because the stone is too heavy, and the bamboo strips used to weave the bamboo basket are relatively thin, which will inevitably break.

Chen Mo calmly untied the bamboo basket and handed it to Zhuang who came around: "We have to improve the bamboo basket, or something will happen!"

Zhuang took the bamboo basket and nodded, then turned back to the tribe. When everyone saw that the excitement was gone, they also said goodbye to Chen Mo and left early.

Chen Mo stood next to the catapult, and once again carefully checked if there were any shortcomings, after all, this thing was used for the first time, if it was not done well, it would be a trivial matter to be embarrassed, and the most important thing was to delay the big thing.

The bearing is very dry, and it was so hard just now, but it didn't break. For the time being, it is considered qualified.

The rattan bolt at the throwing end is very firm, and the basket is very stable. Qualified.

The base is cemented with clay and is very strong. Qualified.

Only the bamboo basket remains, as long as the bamboo basket is strong enough after the adaptation, then the trebuchet can be fully put into use.

Chen Mo waited for a long time, and only then did he get the modified bamboo basket back, this time Chen Mo was not in a hurry to hang it on it, he first stepped on it with his feet and lifted it up, the bamboo strip was very firm, and Chen Mo was relieved.

This time, there were only a dozen people who came to watch the excitement, and Chen Mo instructed them to put the stones into the bamboo basket, and then operate the trebuchet with the seven muscular men again.

......The bamboo basket slammed into the ground, and the stones in the basket flew out high, flying across the river and falling into the jungle in the expectant eyes of everyone.

Chen Mo slapped his hands fiercely, the experiment was successful! The trebuchet he made himself could throw more than a dozen catties of things hundreds of meters away!

Chi brought over the stone tied to the rattan rope, this stone was not as big as the one he had just thrown, Chen Mo considered that there was a pulling force of the rattan rope when throwing, so the stone was half smaller.

The rattan rope was connected for more than 300 meters, and it was smoothed and placed on the ground.

Everyone rested a little, Chen Mo checked the various joints of the trebuchet again, and when he was sure that it was correct, he launched the second throw, this time in actual combat.

did not live up to Chen Mo's expectations, the stone tied to the rattan rope fell to a tree by the river opposite, Jiu Jiu had been waiting on the opposite side for a long time, and then flew to the tree to untie the rattan rope, and then tied it to the tree.

Chen Mo looked at the river from a distance, and when he saw Jiu Jiu flying back and forth on the opposite side, Chen Mo and his clansmen tightened the rattan rope and tied it to the big tree not far from the river.

Chen Mo continued to prepare for the second shot, a rattan rope Chen Mo was not very relieved, and made a total of three rattan ropes, so that the three rattan ropes could barely bear the weight of the clansmen.

When the third rattan rope was successfully projected across the river, the trebuchet bearing, which had made great achievements, broke. Anyway, it's just that the bearing is broken, and you can continue to use it by plugging it in again.

After tying the three rattan ropes, Jiu Jiu turned around and flew back, standing on Chen Mo's shoulder and shouting: "Jiu Jiu! Jiu Jiu! I have made a meritorious service today! Chief, quickly find me a mother-in-law!"

After Jiu Jiu grew up, Chen Mo did not let Jiu Jiu call his father anymore, but called himself the chief like others.

Chen Mo stood at the water's edge, then sent away the tweet, and then shook the three rattan ropes leaning together with his hand, which were very strong, with this rope, Chen Mo felt that he could grab the rope in the water and swim to the opposite side.

It was already afternoon, and it was unrealistic to cross the river again, so Chen Mo decided to return to the tribe for the time being and try to cross the river again tomorrow.

Chen Mo was not worried about the unknown things on the other side of the river, so for the sake of safety, he ordered a few clansmen to stay here and observe the situation on the other side of the river at any time.

Chen Mo straightened his waist and returned to the tribe, after all, he made a cross-century move today, and also tried the power of the trebuchet, and when he found a strong enemy in the future, the trebuchet could also carry out effective defense and attack.
