After coming down from the top of the mountain, Hong Shan walked on the forest path, looking at the bow and arrow in his hand and had a new idea.

As Traverser One said, let yourself assist in the excavation, resource gathering, and advancement of each dynasty's civilization. Then let the skills in your mind start with the bow and arrow in your hand.

The bow that Hongshan is using now is a single bow made of Zhemu by an old hunter, and the bow shape is D-shaped as a whole.

What is the D-shape, that is, the uppercase D in the English letter?

A monolithic bow is simply a bow made of a single material, such as wood or bamboo. Generally speaking, bows are mostly made of wood in the north, because there is little bamboo. In the south, you can choose to make it of wood or bamboo.

Hong Shan knows that the earliest single wooden bow of human beings can be traced back to the primitive society tens of thousands of years ago. Later, in 1963, a batch of 28,000-year-old stone clusters were unearthed at the current location of the Yu Dynasty, which can prove that at that time, human beings were already proficient in the use of bows and arrows.

Because of the easy use of single bows, they can be made of wood, birch, elm, bamboo, purple wood, etc., as long as they are high-density, strong and elastic wood. And the bow shape is relatively simple, it is a D-shaped, so the production cycle is short.

In China, monolithic bows were used until the Ming Dynasty, when they were gradually replaced by reinforced wood/bamboo composite laminated bows.

Therefore, what Hongshan planned to make was a reinforced and wood composite laminated bow, so that the bow species would appear in the Yu Dynasty. If it succeeds, it will be more than 4,000 years ahead of schedule, which can be regarded as promoting the progress of civilization.

Because the hunters of the tribe had to use bows and arrows to go out hunting every day in order to support their families. If you have a more powerful bow in your hand, it will increase your efficiency a lot. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Worried about whether it would interfere with the course of history, Hong Shan sat down and went into his mind to retrieve the materials for the making of the bow. Fortunately, I can see how to make it. Because if it is not allowed by Traverser One, then you can't see the display, and it's blurry.

The materials required to make the bow are wood or bamboo, oxford, horn, fish maw gum, and many substitutes for other ingredients.

In fact, the wood should have been prepared a few years ago, and it was generally placed in a dry place for three years, and then taken out and used when it was necessary to make a bow. In this way, the wood has the right moisture and the material is solid and elastic.

The beef tendon has long been combed into a strand and bundled to dry there.

Buffalo horn is the best to use, but in areas with limited conditions, other horns can also be used, which is not an absolute standard, just local materials.

Hong Shan understands all of the above production theories, but consider making a sample first.

Hong Shan remembered that the hunters of the tribe had said that in the southwest of Yushan, he had seen herds of buffalo by the river. The larger ones weigh thousands of pounds, and the smaller ones weigh hundreds of pounds. It is wild and difficult to catch, no less than a wild boar.

If it's from the tribe and back, it's a bit far. But if you take the transfer station, you save half the distance. And you can make bows here at the transfer station, and there is enough space, and there is an underground river down there.

But Hong Shan knows that at such a long distance, even if he can catch the big bison by himself, there will inevitably be accidents during transportation, and he will need the assistance of several helpers. This time, he planned to hunt a few more and prepare as many raw materials as possible for bow-making.

So Hong Shan tightened his package and rushed all the way to the tribe.

"Hey, why did you come back? Didn't you just go out? A familiar hunter of the tribe asked in confusion, greeted him, and walked outside.

"Third brother, you wait for me first, don't go out hunting. I will go to the chief and say a few words, and I will come to you. Hong Shan hurriedly responded.

After entering the leader's camp, Hong Shan roughly reported that he wanted to go to the southwest river to hunt bison. And I hope that the leader can arrange for the third brother and others, about three to five hunters to accompany them to help.

Because Hong Shan has just brought back a big black bear to the tribe, its ability is beyond doubt. This time, he said that he was going to capture the big bison, and the leader must be happy. So he immediately went out and arranged for five experienced hunters to accompany him, led by Hong Shan.

The five hunters didn't say a word, and after going back to prepare their respective packages, they immediately set off with Hongshan.

The third brother knew that place, and had gone there to hunt bison the year before last. But it didn't work, and he was almost killed. So he led the way at the front, and Yun Shi, another experienced hunter, walked at the back. Hong Shan, because he was the youngest, walked in the middle of the line.

Everyone hurried for a day, and finally came to the vicinity of the river. Standing on a high ground, the six of them saw a large herd of bison, estimated to be in the thousands, by the river. They all drank water and ate grass quietly, and rested with their tails.

The wildlife resources at this time of the Yu Dynasty were extremely rich, and there were large areas of unexplored primitive landforms in the wild.

Hong Shan knew that at this time, human beings did not have the consciousness to domesticate bison and let them plough the fields. It's just for hunting and eating meat. The domestication of bison to become domestic cattle did not occur until the Xia Dynasty, and it was first started by a man named Wang Hai, who also domesticated horses and traded them throughout the country. This is also the origin of the earliest merchants, trade behavior.

The real large-scale use of cattle to plough the fields was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because iron tools were vigorously developed at that time, there were also related farming tools.

The experienced hunter turned around and asked Hong Shan, "Hong, are you going to catch these bison?" "Because before leaving, the leader explained to everyone, this time it was led by Hong Shan, and everyone listened to him.

The other hunters also had no opinion, whoever could let everyone eat meat would lead the team. It's really not okay to separate anymore and go hunting separately. Or re-elect the leader, which is also the habit of the tribe, and the leader is also like this, and is elected after being recognized by everyone.

Unlike later dynasties, the emperor practiced a hereditary system and ruled the country.

Hong Shan has been observing the situation on both sides of the river, and after watching it for a while, he knows what to expect. He needs to change his original plan, he originally planned to hunt directly, and now that there are geographical conditions, he plans to capture it alive. Take a few back to domesticate, raise, breed.

This can be regarded as promoting the process of civilization, because he has just seen in his mind that this project can be implemented and will not disrupt the development of the times.

So he told the five hunters about his plans and arrangements one by one. Although they didn't understand the purpose of Hongshan's action, they didn't say a word and went directly to implement it separately.

After working for most of the day, several people finally completed the part they were responsible for, and stayed in the designated area to watch the signal of Hongshan.

I saw Hong Shan and the third brother raise a few torches and run quickly to the back of the bison herd, one responsible for archery, and the other responsible for throwing torches to drive away the disturbance loudly.

Frightened, the bison fryed, and under the leadership of the cow, quickly ran along the river upstream. The sound of rumbling and more than a thousand cows running together is extremely spectacular.

The herd had not gone far, and there was a fork in the road ahead, with a small road along the river on one side and a main road along the river on the other. There were a few fires in the middle, and they were burning there.

It is also the natural nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid harm, and the herd naturally divides into two groups, avoiding the fire and continuing to rush forward.

The water in the path was dry, and on both sides of the river, Yun Shi and three other hunters were in charge.

After seeing some of the cattle rushing in, Yun Shi and they hurriedly lit the prepared haystack and kept throwing it down, and the four of them threw a lot of it.

At this time, the herd of cattle that followed immediately bypassed and rushed to other places. And the dozens of people who had already rushed in rushed in rushed all the way, but they didn't know that they had blocked it with big stones.

And this side also began to throw big stones and big tree forks behind the fire, and Hong Shan and the third brother also quickly ran over and joined the team to throw them together. After a while, this opening was also blocked. The herd of cattle was trapped in a small embankment dozens of meters long and could not escape.

Yunshi and the third brother were so happy that they picked up their bows and arrows and were about to start shooting.

When Hong Shan saw it, he hurriedly shouted from behind: "Wait, don't shoot, I'm going to catch it alive." ”

"How do you catch it alive?" Because none of their hunters had caught a live bison, they were stunned for a while. The whole tribe also did not have the habit of catching prey alive, which was too dangerous.

But out of trust in Hong Shan, everyone put down their bows and arrows in confusion to see how he caught them.

Hongshan walked around the embankment several times, observing the cattle. The panicked herd was now a little quieter than before. But still anxious, a few cows are still scurrying back and forth.

For the herd is generally not like a flock, but has a sheep. The herd is only strong and will be considered big. So Hong Shan was observing and found the stronger one in the herd.

After putting the package down, I took out a long bark rope and reinforced, and kneaded the tip a little thinner. Wrapped around the waist, the thin end bites in the mouth. Standing there, he moved his body and slowly walked to the embankment of the small river.

I saw Hong Shan suddenly jump, riding on the back of a strong ox, lying on his body, holding the horns tightly with both hands, and his legs were holding the belly of the ox.

Frightened, the bison scurried around, and kept jumping up, trying to shake the mountain down. But the inside of the embankment was only so big, and the cattle were all right next to each other. What's more, Hongshan had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't get rid of it for a while.

The other hunters who watched were dumbfounded, wondering what Hong Shan was doing.

Taking advantage of the moment when the cow just stopped, Hong Shan quickly took off the bark rope with his left hand, and passed the thin end through the center of the septum of the cow's nose.

At this time, the painful cow was jumping desperately again, trying to throw Hongshan down and trample him to death. Hong Shan's right hand grabbed the horn of the ox, and his left hand hurriedly grabbed the bark rope and pulled it, like riding a horse's reins. After several rounds of tightening and loosening, the cow finally quieted down.

Hong Shan had time to look at the cow's nostrils, and this time he was wearing it just right. Because if you are too far down, it is easy to break the nose of the cow. Dressed too much, there is a bullish cartilage, which involves nerves and is not sensitive, and it is not easy to obey.

Hong Shan rode on Niu Da, and then he said loudly to the third brother and them: "You move all the stones, and we will bring this herd back." ”

This operation shocked the five hunters.

"Don't you have to kill these? We're just going to take it back? What to do if the herd runs away on the road? A series of questions poured out of the mouths of several hunters.

"Hehehe, don't worry, I have a way, everyone can just listen to my arrangement." So, Hong Shan told them what to do one by one. Yun Shi took two hunters and walked last. Follow the herd and gently drive them away with a long stick. On both sides of the herd, there was a hunter, who also gently gathered the scattered cattle with wooden sticks, and Hong Shan himself rode the ox to lead the way.

This herd operation theory, this time it can be regarded as what he is learning and selling.
