The principle of the crossbow is very simple. It is nothing more than an improved longbow. The stretched bow string can be fixed in a position, and then the arrow can be shot out by pulling the trigger switch. The advantage is that the strength can be adjusted to pull the bow string.
After stretching, it can store elastic potential energy for a long time, and its power and accuracy within a short distance are very high.
The repeating crossbow studied by Ye Qiong can be fired continuously in a short period of time.
Then the key point is the word "lian". It is not about shooting out many arrows at once, but when the first arrow is shot out, the second arrow can be shot out immediately.
What Ye Qiong has made now has a high and wide slot at the top, which can hold arrows about forty centimeters long. The bow string is a king's velvet animal tendon, which is very elastic.
The arrows in the slot can fall down under the action of gravity, and the arrow at the bottom is ejected as the upper arm is stretched and pressed down.
Today's repeating crossbows do not have triggers. They rely entirely on the kinetic energy of the pulling arm to stretch and press down to load the gun. The tail position of the arrow will be connected to a movable sheath. As the sheath rises, the bow string in the groove
It will then move upward.
Although the repeating crossbow had been made, Ye Qiong always felt that the power was far from what he imagined, so he walked out of the snow cave with the long crossbow in hand, preparing to find a place to conduct experiments to test the power of the current repeating crossbow.
After walking to the ice wall, Ye Qiong aimed at the ice wall, which was about twenty meters away, and then started to pull the lever.
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."
…
The repeating crossbow currently in Ye Qiong's hand has a capacity of ten arrows. Ye Qiong shot them all out at once, then put down the repeating crossbow and walked to the ice wall.
The depth of each arrow inserted into the ice wall is about the same, about three centimeters, which can support the arrow body and prevent it from falling.
The arrows are arranged very messily, and it seems that the accuracy of the repeating crossbow needs to be adjusted.
Pulling out an arrow on the side, Ye Qiong felt the force used to pull it out and couldn't help but shake his head.
The difference is much worse. Even a half-strength archer can easily insert an arrow into the ice wall ten centimeters deep.
Now the effectiveness of the repeating crossbow has been achieved, but the power is far from enough. If such a powerful repeating crossbow is brought into the cave by Qiongqi's warriors, it will not be able to break through the defense of high-level monsters. You must know the strength of high-level monsters.
The fur and flesh are both very solid and very tough.
With the power of the current continuous crossbow, after the arrow is fired, there is no way to penetrate the fur of the high-level monster.
If you were to fight against a monster at the monarch level, you wouldn't even be able to scratch it, let alone one at the lord level.
Therefore, the Liannu still needs to be improved. How to improve it is a headache for Ye Qiong.
If this thing were placed on the earth in Ye Qiong's previous life, in ancient times, it could barely protect the people from themselves, and it had not yet reached the military power needs. No wonder it would decline and be lost.
It sounded pretty good, but after Ye Qiong made it, he realized that it was too weak.
When you encounter a problem, solve it. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved temporarily, then put it aside first. Before you have good materials, rely on what the tribe currently has. If you want to create a repeating crossbow with the power Ye Qiong ideally desires, you may
Very low sex.
After the outer stone walls are built, the ice walls inside will be of no use. They will melt on their own after the next spring and disappear.
However, if the tribe is attacked by a tide of beasts again this winter, the ice wall can still be regarded as a good barrier.
Ye Qiong climbed to the top of the ice wall with a long bow, and then continued to test the range of the repeating crossbow. From the top down, the range of the repeating crossbow was only about fifty meters. However, if it was shot from a high place, the range of the repeating crossbow would be affected by gravity.
Under the influence, the power of the arrow has increased a bit.
In Ye Qiong's eyes, the repeating crossbow in his hand could only be used for self-defense by women and children. If a tide of beasts rushed into the tribe, they could still barely struggle.
Ye Qiong threw out the repeating crossbow that he had been studying for a month, and then kicked down a few pieces of broken ice on the ice wall.
Looking up at the still huge blue mother star above his head, Ye Qiong jumped off the ice wall, then walked to Lian Nu, bent down and picked it up...
After placing Lian Nu back in the snow cave laboratory, Ye Qing returned to the stable on the side of the ice wall.
Now that the wild horse herd has been completely conquered by the tribe, the adult horses in it basically recognize the warriors in the tribe as the main ones. Except for a few of the wild horse king's adult sons who are more difficult to deal with, the rest of the horses have begun to become gentler in character.
.
As for the first-generation children of the Mustang King, although they are not as big as the Mustang King in height and body shape, they are still a size larger than the Mustangs in the tribe's caravans.
The Mustang King was lying on the edge of the stable, staring at a high slope in the distance in a daze. He didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and he turned around and looked towards Ye Qiong.
come over.
After discovering Ye Qiong's figure, he immediately stood up from the snow and trotted towards this side.
Ye Qiong felt slightly better when he saw the now obedient and well-behaved Mustang King.
Gently patting the Mustang King's head, Ye Qiong turned over and rode up, then galloped towards the coal mine.
The Mustang King's body has now fully recovered to its peak condition, and is even better. The horse's hooves are splashing, and the speed is very fast. Ye Qiong specially arranged a task for Yang Jianxin that belongs to the caravan, that is, to go out to collect forage. After all, these fifty
Many wild horses were all organized and given to the caravan. Although the caravan had a headache, it was painful and happy, and they had to be taken good care of.
Next spring, this wild horse will be of great use to the caravan. Ye Qiong has given their caravan a lot of tasks. Now it has been sorted out by Tang Ying. Yang Jianxin gets a headache every time he sees it.
However, when there is pressure, there is motivation. The entire caravan had a very fulfilling life this winter. Basically, they were not idle for a moment. Everyone, men, women, old and young, who could move, were assigned work by Yang Jianxin.
As the leader of the caravan, although Yang Jianxin's combat ability is not very good, his comprehensive operational ability is very strong. For the caravan, Ye Qiong only needs to tell Yang Jianxin what he wants.
Yang Jianxin would never ask a question about how to do it or any other reason. As long as Ye Qiong said a word, Yang Jianxin would automatically take care of the rest and finally give Ye Qiong the result he wanted.
This is called execution!
Riding a galloping horse, riding the Mustang King and riding the Dude are two completely different experiences. If I have to make an analogy, the Mustang King is like a sports car, the Snowy Demon Wolf is like an off-road vehicle, and the Dude is
Just like a tank.
They are both driven on the ground, but the feeling of driving them is definitely different.
In terms of driving experience alone, Mustang King completely beats Dudida and Snow Demon Wolf.
