Chapter 6 Labor-Saving Structure!

In this world, there are only so many weapons that can be used, except for strength-based and skill-based weapons, there are actually no weapons to choose from. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But as it happens, Bliss does know a weapon that requires little strength and skill.

This weapon is the bow and crossbow.

All right...... Not one weapon to be exact, but two weapons, the two weapons of which are bows and arrows and crossbows.

The construction of the crossbow mechanism is too complicated, and there is no way to build a perfect crossbow in a short time, so I simply don't think about it, or it is more realistic to talk about bows and arrows.

Briss is not an expert on cold weapons, so he doesn't know anything special about bows, except that bows and arrows are entry-level weapons that don't require as much strength and skill as other weapons.

What affects bow damage?

It is the power of drawing the bow, it is the penetrating power of the arrow.

Let's not mention the power of the bow, there is no way to change this, let's talk about the penetration of the arrow first.

There are two things that affect the penetration of arrows, which are the material of the arrow and the shape of the arrow.

The gap between iron and steel lies in the carbon content, the carbon content of steel is far less than that of iron, this reason is very simple, but today's iron-making furnaces and steel-making furnaces do not have enough quality to solve the problem of decarburization, so if you want to get good quality steel, you can only use high-temperature iron, and reduce the carbon content with a hammer, so that you can get good quality steel by striking iron, and you can't get good quality steel by making iron with boilers.

Who's to say, though, that Brice needs a lot of steel anymore?

Instead of making a weapon out of steel, why did Brice need a lot of steel? he just needed arrows.

Bows and arrows are used to kill and break armor, so the steel arrowhead required for the arrow is not large, and the steel made from a fist-sized piece of iron can make a person who can't use up the steel arrow in a short time, and the bow and arrow with the steel arrow are lighter than iron, harder than iron, tougher, and not easy to corrode, where to find such a good thing?

The point is that it doesn't require a lot of work, and its cost is much lower than the cost of hitting a weapon!

It's a great idea to make arrowheads out of decarburized steel. As for the shape of the arrow......

Bliss happens to know the most lethal of arrows.

Triangular arrows!

The triangular arrow is a very lethal arrow, which is very lethal, which began in the Qin Dynasty and has been used by hunters in modern times.

These arrows have a super penetrating power for leather armor, and those who are shot by them have almost no chance of surviving if the bleeding is not stopped at that time.

This kind of arrow has a sharp triangular head, and at the same time has a three-edged sharp blade, which is easy to cut and bleed after shooting, and after penetrating the body, the hollowed out blood groove part of the triangular blade will also increase the amount of bloodletting, except for the lack of way to shoot through the metal armor, other protective clothing has no blocking effect on the triangular arrow.

Although the cost of making a triangular arrow is higher, it is also more difficult to make......

But it's something to save your life, and no one minds if they can live a little longer, do they? Not to mention that if you can really kill your opponent, the triangular arrow can also be recycled, and for Blis, the difficulty and high cost of making it are completely acceptable.

The three-edged arrowhead of steel, in terms of lethality, is no worse than the modern arrows of the earth.

Now that the arrow's damage is there, then there's the issue of the bow.

As far as Bliss knows, there are three types of bows, which are traditional bows, recurve bows, and compound bows.

There is not much to say about traditional bows, and the more powerful the bow and arrows that are fired, the more powerful they are. The recurve bow is the same, but due to the laminated structure, it can store more energy than a conventional bow.

There is nothing to say about these two bows, they are the power type, and the recurve bow is better than the traditional bow, at least the power and accuracy are stronger than the traditional bow.

As for compound bows...... The power and accuracy are better than the recurve bow, and it looks more handsome than the simple recurve bow, of course, the most important thing about the compound bow is that it -

Saving! Force! Knot! Structure!

The high-tech bow looks particularly handsome, is there a special effort to shoot with boosters such as pulleys and module groups, is there a particularly high utilization rate of kinetic energy?

The advantages of the compound bow overshadow all the shortcomings of Briss, and that alone makes it a good idea for Briss to choose a compound bow.

The problem of making a composite bow is not big, the black technology of the eccentric wheel and the module group can be sketched a little, and what really hinders Bliss is mainly the material problem.

For example, the iron for the bow body is too heavy, and the steel is too wasteful, so the best choice is to use aluminum that is light and has a certain toughness, but God knows where the aluminum comes from, and the real thing is to make it from wood. Another example is the bow piece, the bow body is made of wood, and the bow piece is also made of wood? Don't be kidding, use unstrong wood to make the bow piece, what kind of bow do you use if it is broken!

There is also a string rope, which is naturally best with steel strings, but is there so much steel?

These are all problems, and they are all problems that are very difficult for Bliss to solve now.

Briss knew how difficult it would be to make a compound bow, and he thought about giving up on it, but considering the difficulty of other weapons, Briss eventually chose to make a compound bow.

It took a long time to think about these questions, and Bliss thought deeply for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Will and Vera were long gone.

It's a little cold.

After coming to his senses, Bliss finally felt the temperature around him, he shook his head, looked around, and still didn't find the shadow of Will and Vera.

"Will and Vera are missing?"

Bliss frowned, these two bear children shouldn't be causing him any trouble again, right?

"Will does have some signs of causing trouble, but Vera doesn't look like she's messing around with him. ”

Brice muttered, then moved his stiff and frozen legs, crouched down, and took a rough look at the snow-covered ground.

It may have been because it took a lot of time for Briss to think, there were no footprints on the snow, and it had been buried by the wind.

Bliss shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "Good, there's no clue, but it's not hard to guess. ”

It's still Bliss's usual routine, and when there is no clue, it is not suitable to use the enumeration method, so use the deductive method to re-reason the whole thing.

He licked his fingers, put them in the air, and left them to dry for a while.

"Behind me is the civilian area, that is, the south, and the front is the north, so the wind direction is westerly, and this wind speed can make me feel cold, so I probably have been standing here for at least half an hour, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at the snow on the ground again, "Will was leaning against the tree before, and Vera was sitting here, both of which should have a faint snow pit, but now there is no ......"

Bliss stretched out his index and middle fingers and pointed at the snow surface, "It's not nothing, it's just a slope that is difficult to distinguish without careful observation, the slope of the snow pit next to the tree is not high, and it is basically evenly filled, and where Vera sits, the slope of the snow pit is high on the south side, so ......"

He carefully looked at the direction and bowed his head slightly.

"It's a northwest wind, the wind speed is a little sharp, and Will and Vera are unlikely to go against the wind, which is the general premise. When I was thinking about the void, Will and Vera didn't call me, indicating that nothing dangerous had happened, which was also a premise. ”

"The wind speed is a little urgent, they may go to play, or they may go to shelter from the wind, but with Vera's temperament, it is impossible to allow Will to go to the forest with wild beasts, and the impossible conclusion is ruled out, these two guys may be walking along the southeast, and it is impossible to be too far from the civilian area, so ......"

Simple reasoning based on syllogisms and Bliss inference about Will and Vera's temperament......

"Will and Vera left along this small frozen river to the east?"
