Chapter 107: Recreating Miracles
It looks like a toy longbow, when it first appeared, no one was optimistic, Yan Hua and Qu Yang, they directly looked at it as a big toy, and they didn't say it in their mouths, but they didn't know how many times they said it in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For elite shooters like them, for elite warriors who are proficient in all eighteen martial arts, a half-stone bow is indeed similar to a toy.
No one thought that a half-stone bow would have such great power, soft bow power, but it could play a role several times more than himself, this is Zhao Xin's magic, it can be said unceremoniously, in the field of longbow, Zhao Xin has absolute authority, his words, basically represent the strength of the longbow, he said that if he can improve, he will definitely be able to improve, if he really wants to oppose it, he may soon be slapped in the face.
Xue Yu has just arrived, it is impossible to say more casually, and he is more or less unconvinced in his heart, arrows are different from bows, their development trajectories are completely different things, compared to bows, the development of arrows is more difficult.
Since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, how long has it been, the bow has changed more than a dozen times, different materials, different curvatures, different bowstrings, will bring changes to the bow, but what about the arrow, that is the original general appearance, at most just different bows or bed crossbows, different sizes.
With his previous experience, it was much easier for Zhao Xin to come up with an epoch-making bow than to do his hands and feet on arrows, but why did he choose arrows?
This is the thinking of normal people, if Zhao Xin is a native of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if he gets the card system, he will not have much development, the reason is very simple, he has no information from the twenty-first century.
In the video, in addition to teaching the method of making a longbow, he also briefly mentioned the most suitable arrow for the longbow, which is the source of Zhao Xin's confidence.
Arrows that are more suitable for longbows need to be more in line with aerodynamic standards, in addition to the accumulation of 500 years in England, there are also changes in modern science and technology for it, even if there will be no experts and scholars who put their minds on some retro longbows, but some ordinary scholars have been able to make calculations.
Not to mention, sports bows and arrows, these are not the pursuit of lethality, but the pursuit of faster speed and accuracy of arrows, their form has been calculated by top experts, and even some elites in the industry, these will become Zhao Xin's template, and it will not be too much of a problem to get an arrow that enhances the power of the longbow.
Purely from the form, the quality of the material is not very important, the aerodynamic structure, and the material has little to do with the material, as long as it can maintain the stability of the material in the complex aerodynamic force, or even the impact, there is no problem.
Zhao Xin went to find a blacksmith shop, there is a blacksmith shop in Miaojiazhuang, the level of the blacksmith is not high, he can only build farm tools, and even the knives are very poor.
Bows and arrows are made of iron, and the processing of iron is not difficult, Zhao Xin, and it is not to make an armor-piercing bow, as long as it has considerable lethality, it is mainly the shape, and the aerodynamic shape above the shape is maintained, this simple processing is difficult for the blacksmith.
It took a lot of time to build such an arrow, Zhao Xin gave a very standard shape, and the blacksmith spent 2 days trying, through meticulous data, and then with personal guidance, 20 arrows were built.
For 2 days, Sun Ji and the others were also waiting, Xue Yu's longbow had been made, the soft bow power was only 1.2 stones, and in a few days, he received a flesh wound, but it seemed that the wound was longer and the blood flowed more.
As a martial artist's recovery ability, let him wound, under the premise of not using too much strength, he can open his bow and shoot arrows, he took the opportunity to try the longbow, especially the half-stone one, for him with more than 8 stone strength in both arms, it is simply very easy.
Xue Yu carefully studied this longbow and soon discovered a series of advantages of the longbow, the bow power is light, but the power is not a lot at all, the lighter bow brings a faster rate of fire, and the dense camp solves the problem of the accuracy of the projectile.
In the army, there are very few individual impacts, 1 person to attack the camp of 100 people, even if it is a peerless general, and the opponent is an archer with weak melee ability, but under the complete establishment, no one will be so stupid.
Replacing Sun Ji and leading the team in training, Xue Yu really felt the power of the longbow projectile, and the longbowmen, who had begun to bear fruit, began a salvo of 120 people, during this time, the bows and arrows produced by Miaojiazhuang were enough to support such a salvo.
In 60 breaths, they fired an average of 11.5 shots, close to 1,400 long arrows, in an area almost 8 meters wide and 12 meters long, with an average of 12 arrows per square meter.
Looking at the long arrows that are as dense as a jungle, neatly penetrating into the ground by more than 1 foot, one can imagine what the result would be if it was an army of 100 people, facing such a volley, with an average of 12 arrows per person, even if two or three arrows hit the ground, this person would die.
The longbow proved it with its might, it was the most suitable weapon for the Great Song Dynasty, Xue Yu was also shocked at the same time, he put more energy into it, and put it on the longbow, this longbow was very familiar to him, and today, the newly baked longbow cooperated with the new arrow, and the experimenter was Xue Yu.
Sun Ji didn't feel strange because Xue Yu had replaced him, and several of them were paying attention to the quiver on Zhao Xin's hand, all the 20 long arrows were placed in the quiver.
Zhao Xin didn't make a fool of himself, put it in the quiver, it was just convenient, to let him pick up 20 arrows, even if his body was much stronger than ordinary children, he couldn't do it, after all, he was only 4 years old, and his height was less than 1.1 meters, and it was not suitable to pick up a 1.2-meter long arrow.
Put it in the quiver, and if you can't lift it, you can drag it until it reaches their face, and then the answer is announced.
The four long arrows were handed to each other, and in the hands of Sun Ji and the others, they looked no different from the previous ones, but they looked comfortable.
This is the promotion, because of the characteristics of the arrow itself, it is impossible to make large-scale adjustments, only the shape can be adjusted, the traditional arrow, can make some adjustments in the arrow, for example, longer, thinner, sharper, these seem not too obvious, but can effectively change the aerodynamic shape.
Zhao Xin had on hand, there was also an arrow, and he also instructed the blacksmith to make it, but unfortunately the difficulty of processing was very great, among the 20, only 3 were triangular ones, and now they were still placed in the quiver, only after experimenting with these first, they could take those out, and before solving the problem of processing, the triangular arrows could only be used as a secret weapon.
Sun Ji and Xue Yu are both elite archers, and when they got the arrow, they felt shocked, and they felt that the arrow was a very simple thing, in line with the shape of the arrow, and it was okay not to delay him to shoot, but in fact, the arrow is really different from the arrow.
"Try it!" Zhao Xin pointed at Xue Yu and said.
Xue Yu was not polite, he directly bent the bow and opened the arrow, his arm was very stretched, and the length of the arrow matched the longbow very well, which was not an elite archer and could not be seen at all.
Aiming at the position of 45 degrees, this has become the standard configuration for testing the longest range, Xue Yu shoots the arrow more comfortably than before, and the flying arrow flies very fast, at the moment of flying out, Xue Yu and Sun Ji have already determined that the range will definitely break through.
Sure enough, when the long arrow fell, the range increased by almost 20 steps, which is definitely not a small increase for a longbow, almost a percent increase, the most important thing is that Xue Yu's feeling, out of the feeling of a top shooter, he felt that the control ability of this bow was greatly strengthened, and he could achieve more accurate shooting, even if it was a throw, before, the previous longbow and long arrow, did not give him this feeling.
You know, Zhao Xin not only adjusted the shape of the arrow, but also adjusted the physical part of the tail, which is more important than the shape of the arrow.
In this era, when there is no attention to the aerodynamic shape, the tail of some arrows is casually glued, Zhao Xin not only arranged the tail neatly, but also made a special trim, which is also the main reason for the increase in the power of the longbow, it is precisely because of the stability of the tail that the arrow is easier to control.
Several people were shocked by the effect of the arrow, and were about to ask Zhao Xin, why a simple arrow, but such an effect, this is a miracle, but saw Zhao Xin, and took out an arrow from the quiver, it turned out that Zhao Xin made not just one kind of arrow, but two.
