My barrage in the wild can be withdrawn

Chapter 299 Qing Gong
Throwing a few axes at the buffalo below him, Zhou Chen got the buffalo horn.

The buffalo is huge, with horns as long as an adult's arm.

Zhou Chen thought it was quite appropriate to exchange one pheasant for two horns.

The buffalo's internal organs have been gutted, but the fascia of the buffalo's leg bone is still intact.

After taking the horns, he used a dagger to remove part of the tendon from the carcass of the buffalo.

Zhou Chen's act of exchanging live pheasants for buffalo carcasses confused the netizens in the live broadcast room.

"What's the use of this horn??"

"That's right, there's not much meat in this thing, and the crocodile can't eat it after eating it. I feel like Brother Chen has lost."

"That pheasant is quite fat, it's a pity, but I believe Brother Chen must have plans."

"What does Boss want to do with the horns?"

"Horns can be transformed into horns to deter animals, but it's useless."

The crocodile was ferocious. After Zhou Chen took the materials, he returned to the camp with the horns on his shoulders.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Zhou Chen also patiently explained: "Buffalo horns are large in size and strong in toughness. They are essential materials for making clear bows."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the live broadcast room immediately started discussing again.

"Recurved compound bow with tendons and horns? Manchurian bow??"

"I'll go, the Qing bow is a must-have weapon for the Lord of the Eight Banners."

"It's awesome, isn't this thing lost, I didn't expect Brother Chen to make clear bows."

"Blessed eyes, hahahaha, wait for the boss to teach."

Qing bow is a kind of recurve bow. A recurve bow is a bow that looks different from a normal longbow from the side. The difference between a recurve bow and a non-recurve bow in a broad sense lies in whether the arms of the bow bend in the opposite direction after the string is lowered. .

A recurve bow can store more energy than an equivalent bow with a straight arm, resulting in an arrow with higher kinetic energy.

As a result, recurve bows can be made shorter than normal bows while maintaining their power.

This advantage makes recurve bows suitable for use where longer weapons would be inconvenient, such as in jungles, forests, or on horseback.

While cleaning the horns, Zhou Chen said: "The characteristics of Qing bows are that the tip of the bow is long and curved in reverse, there is a string pad at the root of the tip, and the body of the bow is made of horn, wood, and tendon."

He paused and continued: "The Qing bow belongs to the recurved compound bow with tendons and angles. The design of the Qing bow allows it to have a great pulling force. When used to shoot heavy arrows, it can compete with the early gunpowder weapons. It is also powerful. The key factor for the famous Qing bow."

Seeing someone on the public screen say that the Qing bow is bad, Zhou Chen retorted: "The Qing bow is bad? Don't talk about it, because the Qing bow is very heavy, you can use heavy arrows to ensure a certain efficiency. Low, then use it at close range, and the speed and kinetic energy of the arrow will not lose much. This is actually the case with the Qing army back then. Through reasonable tactical arrangements, their arrows can obtain sufficient penetration and lethality, and give full play to the role of weapons. "

Fresh buffalo horns need to be dried for several hours before being divided.

After processing the horns, Zhou Chen continued to process the tendons.

Beef tendon can not only play the role of cushioning and protection in clearing the bow, but also increase the power of the bow.

Beef tendons are very hard, and he needs to soak them in water and knead them into tendons.

When dealing with beef tendons, Zhou Chen continued: "Hunting seems out of reach for us living in modern times, but it really existed in the lives of ancient people, and among them is the "Mulan Hunting" in the Qing Dynasty. At its peak, good bows, goshawks, and hounds became the indispensable "three treasures" in hunting."

"Just now I saw a friend say that Qing Gong is clumsy, but I don't think that's the case. Everything has two sides. Qing Gong is still remarkable in hunting."

"The salient feature of the Qing bow is that the entire bow body is huge, the tip of the bow is long, the corners are embedded, and there are obvious string pads. The huge bow body can increase the driving force and pushing distance of the arrow while the deformation of the bow arm is small. Although the long bow tip increases the burden on the bow arm, the leverage effect is more obvious, and it is more suitable for heavy arrows, and the built-in angle piece not only strengthens the bow tip, but also reduces the weight of the bow tip.”

He paused, and then said: "Compared with other types of bows, the string pad of Qing bow should be said to be unusually large, and it also increases the burden on the bow arm, but it can protect the bow arm well and slow down the bow. The impact of the string on the bow arm, and the equivalent bow arm transformation effect when the archer draws the bow, makes it easier to maintain the archery state after drawing the hard bow."

Zhou Chen makes bows and arrows for hunting, not for war, so explosive power and power are more important than continuity.

In fact, hunting often only has one chance.

Both horns and tendons take time, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry and continues to make bow tires.

Acacia wood has good toughness and is very suitable for making bow tires.

After choosing a piece of wood, Zhou Chen peeled off the outer skin with a dagger, and then determined the center line, so that the handle, bow arm, and bow tip run through a line to prevent deflection.

"The bow tire is the core of a bow. We must be very careful when making it. Here we need a tool."

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he took out a section of paracord from his backpack, and then disassembled it into a thin thread.

After soaking the thin wire in the aqueous solution made of toner for a while, Zhou Chen nailed one end of the string to the end of the bow tire.

Seeing this scene, the knowledgeable viewers in the live broadcast room already understood.

"Haha, I just realized it. Boss, this is a simple ink fountain line made of toner, you're awesome."

"Ink fountain line? Really."

"It's ok, it's really hard to measure curved surfaces, and it's really not easy to deviate with ink fountain lines."

"This is a master, master, I understand."

Zhou Chen pulled up the thin thread slightly, and a black straight line was left on the wooden bow tire in the next second.

"In fact, the normal ink fountain line uses ink, but toner can also make do. We don't need to care about those details in the wilderness."

After finishing the bow, all Zhou Chen had to do was wait.

He needs to wait until the tendon falls apart, then glue it back with acacia resin.

During this time, Zhou Chen couldn't be idle either.

There are bows, but also arrows.

Shafts and fletches were available, and now he needed arrowheads.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chen said slowly: "Wooden arrowheads are easy to damage, and their power is also weak. I have made stone cluster arrowheads before, and now I plan to make another kind of arrowhead."

Picking up the mountain-opening ax on the ground again, Zhou Chen walked towards the lake.

"Buffalo bones are very hard. I can use this to make animal bone arrows."

Hearing this, the live broadcast room boiled again.

"Beast bone arrow, good idea, brother Chen is really a little clever ghost."

"That's right, primitive people used animal bones to make animal bone arrows."

"One ox is multipurpose, and that pheasant seems to have died well."

"It's another knowledge point. I was so scared that I quickly picked up a small notebook and memorized it."

When the live broadcast room was teasing, Zhou Chen had already returned to the lake.

But to everyone's surprise, the carcass of the buffalo that was dragged ashore by Zhou Chen had disappeared...

"Huh? Where's the buffalo?"

Looking at the empty lake, Zhou Chen was stunned.

After careful inspection, Zhou Chen soon found traces on the ground.

"Look, everyone, there is a trace of dragging here."

Pointing the portable camera at the ground, Zhou Chen exclaimed.

With the movement of the camera, everyone really saw a long trace on the ground on the screen.

Zhou Chen pointed to the direction of the trace, "It seems that the buffalo was dragged away by something."

Buffalo bones are very hard, very suitable for making bone arrows, Zhou Chen didn't want to miss this opportunity.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen decided to follow the traces on the ground to have a look.

"Boss, don't go, it's dangerous."

"That's right, Brother Chen is not recommended to follow."

"Boss, let's find flint to make stone clusters."

"It is indeed dangerous. The buffalo is so big that it was dragged away. It seems that the other party is not small."

"There shouldn't be many guys who can drag buffaloes on this grassland."

The concerns of fans in the live broadcast room are not groundless.

Although the buffalo has been eaten by crocodiles and vultures, it must weigh at least a hundred catties based on its bone mass.

In the wilderness, there should not be many animals that can drag such a heavy weight.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen also hesitated.

However, driven by curiosity, Zhou Chen still decided to take a look.

He wanted to see what kind of animal possessed such great power.

The carcass of the buffalo was heavy and bloody, and the marks on the grass were very obvious.

After walking along the traces of the corpse for five or six minutes, Zhou Chen suddenly stopped.

Leaning towards the acacia tree beside him, he said slowly, "I saw these guys, I should have guessed it would be them."

Before everyone could ask, Zhou Chen adjusted the focus directly.

The grassland has a good view, even if there are still more than 100 meters away, Zhou Chen has already spotted the other party.

The camcorder is a black technology exchanged by the system, and its high definition is incomparable.

As the camera zoomed in, a group of grinning guys suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Damn it, Hyena!!"

"Near the boss's camp, there are actually a group of second brothers."

"This is the African grasslands. There is nothing surprising about hyenas."

"Hyenas are disgusting, my least favorite animal."

"Agree with the one above, the hyena looks dirty and very disgusting."

"Brother Chen, hurry up and dodge, these guys are very difficult to deal with."

In fact, after seeing the hyena, Zhou Chen's heart actually became half cold.

Hyenas are different from other beasts. These guys are not only difficult to deal with, but also very good at teamwork. The most annoying thing is that these guys still eat bones.

Zhou Chen roughly counted, and he found that there are at least a dozen hyenas here, large and small.

A single hyena is not dangerous to Zhou Chen, but a dozen hyenas are difficult to deal with.

What's more embarrassing for Zhou Chen is that once these guys are messed with, they are likely to follow Zhou Chen's scent back to the camp.

That would be a bit of a loss.

Woo~woof~
While Zhou Chen was peeking, a not-so-big hyena suddenly rushed over from the other side of the silk tree.

This hyena is most likely the scout of the hyena group, responsible for the investigation.

The other party's cry not only surprised Zhou Chen, but also the audience in the live broadcast room.

Zhou Chen hid under the tree, apparently startling the other party too.

Just when the other party wanted to call the companion again.

puff~
Before the hyena could bark, a mountain ax directly severed its trachea.

The sound of the fight was not loud, but it still caught the hyena's attention.

Seeing many hyenas stop gnawing, Zhou Chen left quietly.

This place is not far from the camp, Zhou Chen must be cautious.

He didn't want this group of difficult guys to raid his camp.

Zhou Chen was a little disappointed that he didn't get the buffalo bone.

But the mood didn't last long.

Because he hadn't gone far, he was attracted by an object.

He originally wanted to go around a certain distance before returning to the shelter, but he didn't expect to find the dead body of a zebra by accident.

The zebra had been dead for so long that it was basically a skeleton.

However, due to the obvious features of the opponent's head, Zhou Chen recognized him at a glance.

After adjusting the angle of the camera, he said: "Looking at the shape of the head bones, I judge that this should be the skeleton of a zebra."

After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "When heaven closes a door, it will inevitably open a window for you. Obviously this is my window."

Pulling out the blood-stained mountain axe, Zhou Chen slammed down and slashed down.

The zebra's ribs are somewhat curved, but it doesn't affect Zhou Chen's use of them to make animal bone arrows.

But just to be on the safe side, Zhou Chen also took half of his thigh bone.

After finding the animal bones, Zhou Chen walked around the grassland again. The main purpose was to delay for a while and prevent the hyena group from finding the camp.

He just killed a hyena.

It took about an hour before Zhou Chen returned to the camp.

Seeing that there was no hyena chasing him, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After rubbing the beef tendon soaked in water, he continued to soak the beef tendon.

The production process of Qing bow is cumbersome, but Zhou Chen is confident that he can make this recurve bow well.

Arrows are not difficult to make.

After the arrow shaft, arrow feathers, and arrows are complete, you only need to apply glue.

Acacia resin is a natural glue.

After heating and melting the resin, Zhou Chen made seven animal bone arrows.

After finishing the arrows, it was dusk.

A pheasant was lost, and Zhou Chen also had a bird and half a roast chicken.

The hanging foot trap is like a decoration during the day and has no effect.

Tonight, Zhou Chen doesn't need to go hunting, he just needs to build up the camp a bit.

Consider seeing hyena herds during the day.

Zhou Chen had a new idea for the construction of the camp.

"Hyenas are very difficult to deal with. They are not only ferocious, but also often snatch food from the mouths of lions and leopards. These guys are not the biggest animals in the grassland, but they are the most difficult animals."

"The group of hyenas I encountered this afternoon was not small, and it was very close to the camp. I had to take precautions in advance."

When Zhou Chen spoke, he had already started working.

"Hyenas are typical opportunists. They always like to get something for nothing. They are very courageous and have a bite force of 460 kilograms. These guys like to fight in groups and are good at bullying the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."

"Although I don't have the certainty of defeating the hyena group, but escape is more than enough. Compared with my own safety, I am more worried about whether these guys will come to steal my food when I am away."

"Hyena's jumping ability is not strong, I am now going to make a platform to store food."

There is an acacia tree near Zhou Chen, but he does not plan to put food here, the acacia tree is a place for cheetahs to eat.

Zhou Chen didn't want to go out and return by himself, and the food stored so hard on the tree was stolen by the cheetah.

Pointing to a few long logs under his body, he continued: "These logs are not too thick, but it is no problem to make a bracket."

before dark.

Zhou Chen finally made a three-meter-high bracket and a ladder.

Looking at the overhead bracket, Zhou Chen's sense of security doubled.

Although he doesn't have any extra food now, as long as Qing Gong is made.

He is confident that this place will be filled with...
