Chapter 492: The Archer Paradox (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The bow is a widely used hunting tool, which was made by Bi Fang long before the migration of geese and birds.
At the same time, I also have blue archery mastery skills, and I really don't want to make one.
The style of the bow is still the "father-son bow".
A smaller bow is tied to the back of a larger bow, and although it is not as strong and durable as the overall cut of the better wood, it has the advantage of not demanding the material of the tree and is easy to make.
"There are very few pieces of wood in the rainforest that can be used to make a good bow, because the trees here generally grow very quickly, and anyone who has studied biology should know that the longer the growth cycle, the higher the quality of what grows, and vice versa."
The high school geography teacher knocked on the blackboard every day in class and shouted, "Why is the Northeast Wuchang rice more delicious because of the long growth cycle and fertile soil......
Bi Fang remembers this vividly.
The same is true for timber in the north and much better in the south.
Hundreds of years ago, the wood used to build the palace was basically cut from the Great Khingan Mountains in the north, and the last way down the river.
The father-son bow overcomes the problem of not having good wood through a unique structure that is perfect for this environment.
After a busy few hours, Mo was around nine o'clock, and Bi Fang also felt sleepy, he had to get up early every day, and he had to do a lot of physical activity, and he was very sleepy at night.
There is a good saying, many people just eat too much nowadays, so they have time to think about those who don't, and they will be fine if they are hungry for two meals.
Bi Fang yawned, put the bow and arrow in his hand with 80% completion on the ground, and said in a daze: "I'm sleepy, I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping, it's going to be broadcast today." β
"Goodbye, brothers."
[Woo woo, without our sisters, my heart is dead, and I have lost my powder]
[You're a man......]
[If the information is male, am I a male?] You're discriminating! I'm going to sue you]
[You guys are really interesting]
[There are so many silly skins]
......
On the eleventh day of survival in Banna Rainforest, most of the twenty-one days of survival have passed.
In the early morning, the water monitor lizard crawls out of the hole early, and as a cold-blooded animal, it has to bask in the sun every day to raise its body temperature.
The terrain around the shelter is relatively open, maybe that's why it's so persistent and dragged its family here?
Bi Fang ignored the water monitor lizard basking in the sun on the side, got up to wash, dealt with personal hygiene, and turned on the live broadcast.
"Yesterday my bow was almost ready, and this morning I perfected it again, and now it's ready to be shaped and tested."
Bi Fang raised the longbow in his hand, very similar to the one of the wild goose birds, with two branches forming the bow body, and some hemp rope made of bark fibers as the bowstring.
This is not the final bowstring, just to test the effect of the bow by pulling the string.
Bi Fang took out a "test stick" that was less than one meter and about 70 centimeters, cut a notch at the top, and then cut another one every 12 centimeters or so.
After that, place the grip of the bow on the top of the stick and pull the rope to the position of the first notch.
"Each notch represents how bent the bow is, now I'm going to check the bend of the bow and if everything looks like it's working properly, then go ahead and pull the rope to the next notch."
"But once you find that some parts are too bent, you need to trim them at both ends so that they can be bent as evenly as the rest of the place, and in the same way, too little bend is also a problem."
"Make a bow, don't skip this process, these details will affect the overall balance of the bow, and ensure that the arrows you shoot don't float, but fly straight ahead, and finally fall to the ground under the force of gravity."
In this way, Bi Fang gradually checked the bending of the bow until the rope reached the last notch in the stick.
Next, shorten the length of the rope and test the second small bow.
After the two bows were tested, one large and one small, they were put together, and tested again, and after some adjustments, they were both successful, and there was no problem with Bi Fang's production.
The bow and arrows were also prepared last night, and Bi Fang dried them and took them out with him.
"If you are a novice, then do not expect immediate success in hunting with a bow and arrow, the first thing you need to do is to do a lot of practice, get acquainted with the bow and arrow in your hand, learn how to load arrows at different distances, draw the bow, aim and shoot, and only after you are confident can you go to real combat."
Bi Fang, who has systematic skills, is naturally experienced, and he has always felt that solidifying skills is a considerable hanging.
Any skill, as long as it appears on the panel, will not become unfamiliar and clumsy because of the passage of time and the long-term lack of practice.
Ten years ago, I was a piano master, and I didn't practice for ten years, but I still am.
Bi Fang aimed at a big tree, and after shooting several times in succession, he picked up the arrow and headed towards the jungle, following the beast path in the forest.
"I don't think I've talked about archery skills, have I?"
[Never said, cover your face]
[Yes, I saw the whizzing arrows of the poachers]
"Have you ever heard of the archer paradox?"
[Oh, I know this, but the second arrow shot out will never catch up with the first arrow!] γ
βοΌοΌοΌβ
[Ah, is that so? γ
[It always doesn't feel right...] γ
[You're Zeno's paradox,,, the turtle one... γ
"I haven't heard of a second arrow that can't catch up with the first one...... Bi Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, "I think the one you are talking about should be the philosophical paradox that Achilles can't outrun the turtle, and it has nothing to do with what I said." β
"The archer paradox is that when you shoot an arrow, as long as your arrow is wound and pointed at the target, it will always miss."
What the heck?
Did I hear it wrong?
At this moment, millions of viewers standing in front of the screen want to pluck out their ears and wonder if they have just heard it wrong.
If you aim at the target, you're sure to shoot a movie, are you kidding?
How many people have been exposed to professional archery practice?
There is not a hundredth, so at this moment, the live broadcast room is completely exploded, and I feel that Bi Fang is talking nonsense.
Even...... People who have been exposed to professional archery also feel that they are talking nonsense.
How is it possible? So how do the archers aim at the target? γ
[It's not scientific]
[Did you really start metaphysics? γ
[As soon as I came in, I saw the anchor bragging, which can also be recommended on the cover? ] Paid for it, right? It's all shady]
γοΌοΌοΌ γ
[Nonsense, I went to the archery gym in the club yesterday to experience it, I've never heard of this kind of thing, you don't know about your own club, Lao Fang? γ
Bi Fang spread his hands: "I'm really not talking nonsense, I can be responsible for what I say, I don't believe you can check it, but there is indeed no archer paradox in modern archery, but you haven't played traditional archery." β
He didn't expect the audience to react so much, but he could understand it.
People who have never played with bows and arrows find it unreliable, and people who have played with bows and arrows ...... emmm, it will also feel unreliable.
Because modern archery has overcome this problem, this simply does not happen.
"Has anyone checked?"
The audience will open the web page suspiciously, and type the archer paradox word by word, a moment later.
[it, there really is... γ
[It's the world that's wrong]
[It must be Fang Shen who has unleashed his great power again and changed the physical rules of this world! ] γ
Bi Fang didn't care, and some netizens often played with him, but he also cooperated: "Who will come to the live broadcast if you have this ability." β
"Normal people will subconsciously think that the arrow should be aimed at the target when shooting, but in reality, the arrow that any traditional archer puts on the string is biased to one side, right-handed to the left, and left-handed vice versa, so as to accurately hit the target."
Most of the people in the live broadcast room stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen, only a small number of people did not inquire and blindly judged by their own feelings.
"You're going to shoot the bow straight forward, but in reality, in the high-speed camera, the bow and arrow are swam out like a fish."
Bi Fang drew a long arrow, and the bend was curled to indicate the good elasticity of the bow and arrow.
"Because of the limitations of our bow drawing technique and bow and arrow structure, whether it is a Mediterranean bow opening method or a Mongolian bow opening, there will be a certain amount of friction, which will cause the string to bounce back to the left and right."
Bi Fang stretched his bow and arrows and demonstrated what Mongolian and Mediterranean styles are.
The Mediterranean is to pull the string with three fingers of the right hand, and the arrow is placed on the left side of the bow handle. Left-handers are three fingers of the left hand pulling the string, and the arrow is placed on the right.
The Mongolian open bow is the equivalent of the Mediterranean left-handed open bow and is a mirror image of the above set of movements.
However, in the Mongolian style of opening the bow, the right-handed archer should place his arrow on the right side of the bow, and he should pull the string with the thumb of his right hand.
However, due to the relationship between a finger pulling the bow, the thumb is easy to be scratched through the skin, so the so-called wrench will appear, but this thing has been there since the pre-Qin period, and it was called chime at that time.
"I've watched a lot of costume TV series, but I've never seen anyone pull the bow correctly, and even pinching the arrow, pinching the arrow feather and launching, this should be the move of ancient humans and some primitive tribes, the accuracy is very poor, and it is more suitable for shooting balloons above the boyfriend's head in the playground."
The audience almost burst out laughing.
[How do actors compare with Fang Shen? ] γ
[Boyfriend is in danger! ] γ
γEyeballγ
[Are you also Xiahoudun? γ
"But although the arrow shakes its head, there are two points on the arrow that don't shake from side to side, and that's the wave joint. The knots point to the final position of the arrow. In other words, you can only hit the target if you have the arrow's knot in line with the target. β
"The position of the arrow's knots depends on the mass distribution and deflection of the arrow, i.e. elasticity, as well as the tension and distance of the bow."
"If you shoot the same bow with another arrow, the joints will change. So even a veteran, grabbing an arrow can't shoot it right at once. β
[Learning is wasted]
[Then why is it never mentioned in the archery hall of the Lao Fang Club?] γ
[Yes, I can shoot directly at the target]
[Damn, have you all been there? γ
[Nonsense, only you haven't been]
[Wait for me, then buy a ticket!] γ
"Because of the reason, modern bows and arrows will definitely be improved, and those who have played with compound bows should know that the position of the bow handle of the compound bow protrudes to one side, and with this bulge can be aimed at the target directly, without considering the paradox."
"Falling arrow platform also has a protective effect, falling at the moment of the arrow launch, reducing the influence of external force, and now the arrow will no longer swing left and right, but swing up and down."
"In short, if you build a bow and arrow with your bare hands in the field, then you must shoot the arrow to one side, otherwise you will definitely miss the target."
Damn, I realized that the second chapter didn't come out.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to schedule. I almost lost my full attendance.
