The development of bows and arrows can be said to have entered a stagnant stage. The power of single bows has been tested and is useless.

In terms of hunting, there won't be much difference between having it and not having it.

Many things can be substituted.

In combat, it can still cause a certain amount of damage to thin-skinned animals. It cannot be said to be useless. It can only be said that the ratio of effort to gain is too low and not worth it.

From this short distance of twenty meters, Wang Yang can say with certainty that the lethality of throwing big rocks is greater than that of bows and arrows.

So he gave up making single bows.

When we have better resources in the future, we will try to see if we can make a powerful compound bow.

As for the bow in front of me, just treat it as a test product and continue to improve it.

Having made up his mind, Wang Yang began to research other new weapons.

With his current configuration, he can still make many good things, but by drawing on the experience of his predecessors, he can focus on two weapons, slingers and spear throwers.

The most important reason why we focus on these two is that they are easy to make and can be mass-produced.

Let’s talk about catapults first. Generally speaking, the first thing that pops up in people’s minds is probably the large catapults used in ancient wars, also called catapults.

That thing cannot be made for the time being, and it is not practical.

The slings we are talking about today are small ones, called slings, and can be made with just one or two ropes.

To give a vivid example, in movies, you can always see western cowboys waving their ropes and slinging them forward to tie up their horses.

The sling is similar to that. You put a stone on the rope, wave it in your hand, and use the force to throw it forward. It can be farther and stronger than throwing it directly with your hands.

Primitive people used it for hunting, and in ancient times there were slingers, which was brilliant for a while.

Of course, there are many kinds of slings, and this is just one of the simpler ones.

Wang Yang immediately made one without even thinking about it.

Since the materials used are simple and the manufacturing process is simple, it is easy to get started.

First, prepare two ropes of the same length. Make a loop around one end of the rope and tie a knot so that it can fit tightly around your fingers.

Then take a small piece of leather, pass it through and tie it with a knot to secure it.

That's it.

How to describe it, the finished product is like a slingshot, except that there is no bow part, only the rope and leather.

The part of the skin is filled with stones, and is made slightly concave so that the stones will not fall off easily when it is shaken.

After it is done, Wang Yang puts one end of a rope on his finger. The other end will be longer and just enough to hold. When holding it, pay attention to the fact that the two ropes are of the same length.

Then pick up a stone, put it on the skin, and walk to the middle of the open space.

Everyone wanted to follow him and gather around him to watch, but he pushed them away, fearing that he might accidentally miss and hit them.

Then raise it above your head and shake it gently.

Seeing the stone spinning in front of him, Wang Yang increased the speed of the swing.

"Whoosh~" There was a whistling sound in his ears. He swung the rope as fast as possible, and then suddenly let go of the hand holding the rope. The rope broke free and the rocks flew forward with a roar.

The stone quickly flew into the sky, flew dozens of meters away, and then fell, falling into the snow with a clatter.

"Aha~Eagle ball!"

Wang Yang grinned and was in a good mood. The power of the sling was indeed much better than throwing it directly with his hands. After more training, he would be able to use a powerful method next time he faced off against a large animal.

This is no exaggeration. When the stone thrown through the sling is at its most powerful, it can easily crush the skull of an animal. Even a wolf head made of steel can hardly withstand a few blows.

But the difficulty lies in how to master the technique, because when Wang Yang tried for the second time, his shot was too late, which directly caused the stone to tilt to one side and flew dozens of meters away.

It is definitely more difficult to master than bow and arrow when it does not require physical strength.

But in Wang Yang's view, this is not a problem. If one person throws a stone, it may be difficult to hit the prey due to poor accuracy, but what about five people throwing it, ten people throwing it, or twenty people throwing it?

As long as it hits once, and hits a vital point, the prey will definitely be left alive or disabled.

"Hehe..." He turned his head and focused his gaze on the still dull faces of everyone.

(Many readers recommended me to watch Beiye Wilderness Survival, which is quite scientific. I also recommend everyone to watch "Deadly Samurai", which has detailed tests on many primitive weapons. Finally... Is it unnecessary for me to ask for votes like this?
