Chapter 4: Bow and arrow

Compared with the ghostly front, this place is like another world, with bright lights and people coming and going. This street is not large, but it is the only commercial street in the nearby tens of miles. To the left is the slave area, and to the right is the slum area. Compared with the slaves who have nothing, the purchasing power of the poor is significantly higher.
The formation of commercial streets lies in purchasing power.
Biscuits, cans, buns, steamed buns, ham sausages ... these things that were eaten as snacks before the end of the war in the last days have now become staple foods, and they are luxury foods. Due to radiation problems, there is almost no place on Mars for planting and breeding. All the food today is from greenhouse cultivation and indoor production. As long as it is food, even a peanut, it has become a rare thing. .
Liu Wei'an has always been below the poverty line. Today, he accidentally got 255 copper plates, plus the original savings of 6 copper plates, for a total of 261 copper plates. This was the richest time of his family in these three months, but it was far from To the point where splurge is possible.
For 10 buns of one copper plate, Liu Weian took 10 at a time, compressed one 8 copper plates of biscuits, took 10, and the rest of the money was all energy tubes, 5 copper plates and one tube for energy tubes, a total of 16 tubes. When I returned, There is only one copper plate left in the pocket.
Thanks also to the "predatory" game, where the money and the real world are common. It is worth saying that the credit crisis was also an important factor in the opening of the last-day war. After the establishment of the three empires, the currency was unified and the paper currency maintained by credit was canceled. The currency in circulation today is basically Three types, gold, silver, and copper, are basically copper and silver, but gold is relatively rare.
Crossing the dark streets, the environment of the slave area is no better than that of the slum area. Although most people choose to hibernate after night, because of the cold, but those who are hungry cannot be ruled out. In this dark night, there are countless nights. In the case of a crime like Liu Weian, a person who does not even have an identity card will not even have a question if an accident occurs.
Although today's society has advanced science and technology and civilization, progress here is like a troubled world. Fortunately, there was no accident during the trip. Liu Wei'an thought it should be still early. If after ten o'clock, there are still people wandering outside, basically something can be encountered.
Back in the basement, it was no surprise that the lights in the room were off. Liu Wei'an turned on the light, Zhao Xin saw the food in his hand at a glance, the bun was still hot, and his eyes lit up.
"Let's eat it." Liu Wei'an grabbed a bun and ate it with a long mouthful of taste. Although it is not as delicious as that made on the earth, it is supremely delicious for a person who has drank the energy tube for three months. .
Zhao Nannan looked at Liu Wei'an without moving. Does she not know the difference between buns and energy tubes? However, after all, he could not reach the Greek wing in Zhao Xin's eyes, and he felt a sadness in his heart, and silently grabbed a bun. Zhao Xin cheered softly when she saw her mother's hands. She quickly grabbed a bun and ate it with a happy smile on her face.
The energy contained in the energy tube can only guarantee that the person will not die, and there are many trace elements that the human body cannot provide. After all, the price determines the quality. Taking the energy tube for a long time will make people waste, and you must replenish food at intervals.
Zhao Nannan stopped after eating a bun. Zhao Xin came to see his mother and stopped eating. Liu Wei'an had finished the second one, looked up at Zhao Nannan, and whispered softly, "Eat, I have already embarked on the right path in the game, so I don't need to be hungry."
Zhao Nannan hesitated and grabbed another bun. She knew her daughter very well. If she did not eat it, she would not eat it. My heart was moved and sad again, and I lowered my head to prevent Liu Wei'an from seeing his red eyes. Zhao Xin smiled happily and quickly grabbed another bun.
After Liu Wei'an ate three buns, he returned to the bed, pondered for a while, grabbed his helmet, and entered the 'predatory' game. Zhao Nannan glanced in surprise, but did not speak. Usually Liu Wei'an had long been tired and entered dreamland at this point. It seems very different today.
The bed is an old-fashioned iron frame bed, divided into two bunks, Liu Weian sleeps on the bunk, and Zhao Nannan's mother and daughter sleep on the bunk. When Zhao Xin finished eating, Zhao Nannan packed up the rest of the food, pulled Zhao Xin to bed, and the two-person bed was a bit narrow for two people, but Zhao Nannan felt unprecedented warmth.
Entering the game, the game is also night. The time of World of Warcraft and the human world seems to be synchronized. There is also a sun in the sky during the day and 24 hours a day. The only difference is that the moon at night in World of Warcraft is red. Very weird.
Because of his physical problems, Liu Wei'an has been online during the day and rested at night. His physical strength can only support for six hours on average. Seven hours is the limit. It is the first time to go online at night.
Stone City is much calmer at night than during the day, with more than half of the traffic flow. Some shops are also closed. Many people hold the torches out of the city or enter the city. Liu Wei'an does n’t have much time to pay attention to these and hurries out of the city. Go, then the moonlight, although the light is dim, but also barely able to recognize the road. In the direction of the cemetery, he has visited many times so as not to get lost.
The farther away from the city, the fewer pedestrians. After walking for about ten kilometers, no one can be seen on the road, the field is dark, there are only trees, which appear to be a shadow of a pupil, and the insects make a cheerful call in the grass, which is the occasional scream of a bird It's scary.
When passing by a forest, Liu Wei'an stopped and began to cut down the tree. This forest is iron poplar. Iron poplar, wood is tough and elastic, is an excellent material for making bows.
Ancient books have the cloud: the bow is mainly made of dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer and other materials, also called 'six materials'. The cadres thought far away, the anglers thought sickness, the tendon thought deep, the glue, thought peace and silk, the silk thought solid, and the lacquer thought they were exposed to frost.
Dry, including a variety of wood and bamboo; the main body used to make the bow arm, multi-layered. The performance of the dry material plays a decisive role in the performance of the bow. Dry wood is made of linden wood, followed by linden wood, linden tree, etc., followed by bamboo. The horn, which is an animal horn, is made into a thin sheet and is attached to the inside (belly) of the arch arm. The main horn of the bow is horns of white, medium green and Weifeng. "The horns are two inches long and five inches (nearly 50 centimeters) in length. The best angle (the price of a horn is equivalent to a cow, so it is called a cow wearing a cow). The tendons, the tendons of the animal, are attached to the outside (back) of the arch arm. The role of tendons and horns is to enhance the elasticity of the bow arm, making the arrow more powerful and the middle thing deeper. The tendons should be small and long, and the big ones should be smooth and moist. Glue, that is, animal glue, is used to bond dry materials and horns. Six kinds of gums, such as deer gum, horse gum, cowhide, rat gum, fish gum, and rhino gum, are recommended in "Kao Gong Ji". The method of preparing gum is generally to boil the animal skin and other animal tissues (especially the muscle cavity) in water, or add a small amount of lime, and then filter and evaporate it. Fish tissue, especially the fish gelatin made from the endothelium and fish gelatine, is the best. Recently Chinese bowsmiths used fish gelatin to make important parts of the bow, that is, the bearing force. Animal skin gelatin was used in less important places. For example, covering the epidermis. Silk, that is, the silk thread, tightly wraps the angled bow tube with silk thread to make it stronger. The silk should be bright and shiny, as in water. Lacquer, apply the finished bow arm Paint to prevent the erosion of frost and moisture, and the paint must be selected to be clear.
It really takes a long time to make a good bow. The process is complicated and takes a long time. Obviously, Liu Weian has no such time. Therefore, the bow he made is the simplest one. The iron poplar cut with a torch is baked into a curved shape. Then tie the tendons and you're done.
This is the second time to make a bow. It took only an hour. Unlike the first time, it took two days to complete the bow. The next arrow is the arrow. A sharp arrow, when it comes to craftsmanship, It doesn't have to be a simple bow, but Liu Wei'an needs only one-time arrows, so he doesn't need to be so strict.
However, although it is disposable, the materials are still not sloppy. Liu Wei'an knew that bamboo was good, but there was no bamboo in this area, so he could only choose wood.
Ironwood is hard enough, but elasticity can affect accuracy. Liu Wei'an Qingcheshulu walked about three miles in the northeast direction. UU 看书 www. In the dense woods of uukanshu.com, it looks gloomy. If it hasn't been many times, Liu Wei'an would not dare to come in alone.
After a close look, his eyes lighted, and he took a few steps forward, and then chopped the knife. He quickly cut off five or six finger-sized saplings, then picked them up and ran. This black blizzard is too scary. The startled flying bird's wings fluttered, it seemed to be behind, Liu Wei'an didn't turn his head, and didn't stop until he reached the road. Taking a few breaths, he began to make arrows.
This is an iron birch. It is as hard as iron and as straight as a gun. It is difficult to grow up. If it is not a sharp dagger, it would not be easy to cut them down. A small sapling can be cut into four arrow shafts, exactly twenty-four, peeled and polished, remove all unnecessary things, and finally install the nail clipper from the carrion's hand, one arrow is already manufacture complete.
The arrows of the twenty arrows are carrion nails, the arrows of one arrow are animal bones, and there are three other items installed. Qin Hui sharpened them. The twenty-four pheasant feathers in front of it were finished. Arrows, just run out.
After the bows and arrows were made, the next step was to kill the monsters. Liu Wei'an hesitated and set off towards the cemetery. On a dark night, he went to the cemetery alone, and to be honest, there were a few distributions.
There are obviously more monsters in the night than in the daytime, slipping around, civet cats, lynx cats, native dogs, and wolf wolves ... Liu Wei'an was unsure of hitting them, avoiding them one by one, after about an hour and forty minutes, he entered The cemetery area clearly shows that the moonlight in this heaven and earth is deeper and silent.
It seems that because of the corpse's veil, there are basically no creatures like to live in it, no monsters running around, no screams of bugs, Liu Wei'an is not accustomed to it, there is no shadow around him, he bit his teeth and walked away Go in.
