Making Arrows
From time to time, He Lin would take the wood out of the hot water and try to bend it to see its elasticity.
And every time, because the elasticity was not up to standard, it was put back into the hot water to continue boiling.
Kang Lei leaned against the stone wall and looked at it for a long time."What exactly is going on? You have nothing better to do than boil wood?"
Fan Tianlei was also confused. Hearing Kang Lei's words, he shook his head gently,"
" Although I don't know what he's doing, it seems like it's something very important…"
Finally, after taking the wood out of the boiling water for the fourth time, the elasticity of the wood finally met He Lin's requirements.
He Lin nodded in satisfaction. He took the helmet off the fire and placed the wood on the shelf. He gently opened a hole in the wet mud and used smoke to dry the wood.
"First, heat it up and boil it, so that the internal fibers will spread and become elastic. Then, smoke will dry it to shape it…"
Tang Xinyi muttered softly, curious about He Lin's behavior."
"Why does he need a very elastic and tough wood?”
He Lin's actions had completely aroused everyone's curiosity. They were all discussing what He Lin was doing.
He Lin did not care at all. He was only making bows according to the knowledge in his mind to replace firearms.
When the wood was completely dry and set, He Lin could already feel the elasticity of the wood.
Then, He Lin took out a dagger and cut the two ends of the wood to about the same width, making it into a shape that was wide in the middle and thin on both sides.
At the same time, He Lin muttered softly,
" When the abdomen of the bow, which is in the same direction as the back when shooting, is cut to the same width and pulling force as the thinner part, it is the most ideal state..."
Then, He Lin put the wood aside in satisfaction. He turned around and took out a hemp rope from his backpack. He cut it to a certain length and fixed it on the two sections of the bow. The moment the wood bent, everyone was shocked.
"He's making a bow!"
Fan Tianlei's words woke him up.
"I know. He Lin plans to use bows and arrows instead of bullets. This way, there won't be a problem of insufficient ammunition!”
Kang Lei almost shouted out. After all, this was too surprising.
Tang Xinyi's expression froze.""How is this possible? He plans to use bows and arrows to fight against the army?”
Commander Lin also shook his head lightly." That's too whimsical. A cold weapon against a hot weapon?"”
Fan Tianlei agreed." Yeah, and archery is different from shooting. Each has its own way of doing things. How can anyone use it?"”
Even though He Lin had brought too many surprises, it still surprised people every time.
Making bows and arrows, using cold weapons to fight against hot weapons, this was a battle between one era and another…
He Lin immediately pulled the bow to the full and quickly let go. The elasticity of the bow made He Lin very satisfied.
The strength of the bow came from the handle. As long as the bowstring was not broken, it would be fine.
Satisfied, He Lin put the bow aside. He turned around and continued into the deep forest with the ax in his hand, looking for wood to make arrows.
Taking advantage of this moment, Fan Tianlei curiously walked up and picked up the bow,"
"Although the workmanship is simple, the details are very precise. This bow is almost perfect!”
Kang Lei came over to take the bow and pulled hard…
However, the bow was only slightly bent.
"Eh? What was going on? He Lin could have pulled it to the brim just now.”
Fan Tianlei took it curiously and tried to pull it, but it still bent a little.
"This bow requires a lot of strength, but we can only bend it slightly…Just how much strength does He Lin have?”
At this moment, He Lin walked in from the cave with a pile of wood. When he saw the two of them studying the bow, he immediately said indifferently,
"If you break it, you have to be responsible for making another one…"
Fan Tianlei immediately walked over with his bow.""He Lin, can you pull this bow again?”
He Lin looked at Fan Tianlei and took the bow. He pulled the bow to the full effortlessly.
"Is there a problem?"
Fan Tianlei and Kang Lei looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. You go ahead with your work…"
The two of them immediately gathered together and walked to the back while muttering.
"This strength is too great…"
"I still have my reservations. I think bows and arrows are obsolete. Moreover, whether he can hit the target is still a problem."
He Lin looked at the two of them suspiciously and shook his head. Then, he squatted down and used his dagger to polish the wood he had carefully selected.
The straighter the wood used for the arrow, the better. It had to be dry and half the length of the bow. As long as the bow could be pulled open, it would be fine.
He Lin quickly cut the wood and polished it. He flattened the surroundings of the arrow and placed the arrow shaft on the fire to heat it up.
This time, He Lin was obviously more careful. After all, the wood of the arrow was thinner and could be easily burned.
Calculating the time in his heart, He Lin quickly took the arrow down and cut a small notch at the back for the bowstring.
Then, He Lin sharpened the tip of the arrow with a dagger and heated it with fire to harden it. This way, the arrow was completed.
He Lin sized up the arrow in his hand and smiled in satisfaction.
If only there was something he could try…
At this moment, coincidentally, He Lin saw a gray shadow flash past the forest not far from the cave entrance.
Immediately, He Lin drew his bow and aimed quickly. He released the bowstring and shot the arrow in one go.
This series of actions ended before Fan Tianlei and the others could react.
"This…What is He Lin shooting at?”
"I don't know. I didn't see anything.”
