Rise From Doomsday Chapter 4: , bow and arrow
Compared with the previous ghosts, this place is like another world, with bright lights and people coming and going. This street is not big, but it is the only commercial street in the neighborhood for dozens 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 obviously higher.
The formation of commercial streets lies in purchasing power.
Biscuits, cans, steamed buns, steamed buns, ham sausages... these things that were eaten as snacks before the end of the war, have now become staple foods, and they are luxury foods. Due to radiation problems, there is almost no place for planting and breeding on Mars. All food nowadays is cultivated in greenhouses and produced indoors. As long as it is food, even a peanut, it has now become a rare thing. .
Liu Wei’an has been below the poverty line. Today, he accidentally got 255 copper plates, plus the 6 copper plates he originally saved, for a total of 261 copper plates. This is the richest time for his family in the past three months. However, It's far from the point where you can squander it.
One bun with 10 copper plates, Liu Weian took 10 in one breath, compressed biscuits with 8 copper plates, and took 10, and the remaining money was all energy tubes, energy tubes 5 copper plates and a tube, a total of 16 tubes, go back At the time, there was only one copper plate left in the pocket.
I have to thank the ‘plunder’ game, the money in it is common to the real world. It is worth mentioning that the credit crisis was also a very important factor in the beginning of the end-time war. After the establishment of the three empires, the currencies were unified and the banknotes maintained by reputation were abolished. The currencies currently in circulation are basically There are three types, gold coins, silver coins and copper plates, but basically copper plates and silver coins are the main ones, and gold coins are still relatively rare.
Across the dark streets, the environment of the slave area is not as good as the slum area. Although most people choose to hibernate because of the cold after nightfall, those who are extremely hungry cannot be ruled out. In this dark night, every night There are countless crimes happening. For people like Liu Wei'an who don't even have an ID card, if an accident happens, there won't even be someone who asks.
Although today's society is technologically advanced and civilization is advanced, here, it is like a chaotic world. Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. Liu Wei'an felt that it should be still early. If there are people wandering outside after ten o'clock, they will basically encounter something.
Back to the basement, not surprisingly, the light in the room was turned 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." Liu Wei’an grabbed a steamed bun and ate it. The long-lost taste is not as good as the one made on earth, but for someone who has drunk the energy tube for three months, this is Supremely delicious.
Zhao Nannan looked at Liu Wei'an and didn't move. Does she know the difference between a steamed bun and an energy tube? However, after all, he couldn't reach the Xiyi in Zhao Xin's eyes, a moment of sadness in his heart, and silently grabbed a bun. Zhao Xin cheered softly when she saw her mother did it. He quickly grabbed a bun and ate it with a happy smile on her face.
The energy contained in the energy tube can only guarantee people’s immortality, and there are many trace elements needed by the human body that cannot be provided. After all, the price determines the quality. Taking the energy tube for a long time will turn people into waste. It must be a period of time. Supplementary food.
Zhao Nannan stopped after eating a bun, and Zhao Xin came to see her mother and stopped eating. Liu Wei'an has finished the second one. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Nannan, and said softly: "Let’s eat, in the game, I’m already on the right track, so I don’t need to be hungry."
Zhao Nannan hesitated and grabbed another steamed bun. She knew her daughter very well. If she didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it. Feeling moved and sad, he lowered his 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, meditated for a while, grabbed his helmet, and entered the ‘predatory’ game. Zhao Nannan glanced in surprise, but said nothing. Usually Liu Wei'an has dragged his body into sleep at this point, and it seems very different today.
The bed is an old-fashioned iron frame bed, divided into upper and lower bunks, Liu Wei'an sleeps on the lower bunk, and Zhao Nannan's mother and daughter sleep on the upper bunk. After Zhao Xin finished eating, Zhao Nannan tidied up the rest of the food, and took Zhao Xin to bed. The 1.2-meter bed was a bit narrow for two people, but Zhao Nannan felt warmer than ever.
Entering the game, the game is also dark. 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 a day is also twenty-four hours. The only difference is that the moon in World of Warcraft is red at night. , Looks very strange.
Because of physical problems, Liu Wei'an has always been online during the day and resting at night. On average, his physical strength can only support six hours. Seven hours is already the limit. It is the first time to go online at night.
The night in Stone Town is much calmer than during the day. The flow of people is more than half reduced. Some shops are also closed. Many people go out or enter the city with torches. Liu Weian doesn’t have much time to pay attention to this. Hurrying out of the city, followed by moonlight, although the light was dim, Dang could barely identify the road. He has been there many times in the direction of the cemetery, so that he won't get lost.
The further 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 and there are only a few trees, which appear to be shadowy. The insects make a cheerful cry in the grass, which is the occasional scream of the bird. It's scary.
When passing a forest, Liu Wei'an stopped and began to chop down the trees. This forest was made of iron poplar, not many in number, only more than one hundred. Iron poplar wood is tough and elastic, and is an excellent material for making bows.
Ancient book says: Bows are mainly made of stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk, lacquer and other materials, which are also called "six materials". Those who think that they are far away, those who think they are sick, those who think of tendons, those who think they are deep, those who think of glue, those who think of harmony, those who think of silk, those who think of solidity, those who think of lacquer think that they are exposed to frost and dew.
Dry, including a variety of wood and bamboo; used to make the main body of the bow arm, stacked in multiple layers. The performance of the dry wood plays a decisive role in the performance of the bow. The dry timbers are oak wood as the top, followed by oak wood, oak tree, etc., and bamboo as the bottom. The horns, the animal horns, are made into thin slices and attached to the inner side (abdomen) of the arch arm. The bow maker uses horns, preferably natural white, medium-green, and Weifeng horns; "The horns are two feet long and five inches (nearly fifty centimeters) long. The three colors are not unreasonable. The cow wears the cow." This is The best angle material (the price of a horn is equivalent to a cow, so it is called Niu Dai Niu). Tendons, animal tendons, stick to the outside (back) of the bow arm. The function of tendons and angles is to enhance the elasticity of the bow arm, making the arrow more sturdy when it is shot, and the middle object is deeper. Choose the small ones to be long and round, and the big ones to be round and smooth. Glue, which is animal glue, is used to bond dry wood and corner tendons. Six kinds of glue are recommended in "Kao Gong Ji": deer glue, horse glue, cattle glue, mouse glue, fish glue, rhino glue. "The preparation method of glue" is generally to boil animal skins and other animal tissues (especially the muscle cavity) in water, or add a small amount of lime soda, and then filter and steam to thicken. According to the experience of later archery, Fish tissues, especially palatal endothelium and fish fat are the most excellent. Late Chinese archers used isinglass to make important parts of the bow, that is, where the force is bearing. But animal skin glue is used in less important places. , Such as covering the skin. Silk, that is, the silk thread, the bow tube with the horns and tendons is tightly wound with silk thread to make it more firm. The silk must be bright in color, as if it is in water. Paint, paint the prepared bow arm Paint, to prevent the corrosion of frost and moisture, and the color of the paint must be clear.
To make a good bow, the craftsmanship is complicated and it takes a long time. Obviously, Liu Wei'an doesn’t have such time. Therefore, the bow he made is the simplest one. Curvature, then tie the beef tendon, and it's 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. Next is the arrow, a sharp arrow. When it comes to craftsmanship, the bow doesn't have to be much simpler, but what Liu Wei'an needs are disposable arrows, so he doesn't need to be so strict.
However, although it is a one-off, the materials are still not sloppy. Liu Weian knows that bamboo is good, but there is no bamboo in this area, so he can only choose wooden poles.
The hardness of iron poplar wood is enough, but the elasticity will affect the accuracy. Liu Weian walked about three miles to the northeast on the Shushu Road in a light car~IndoMTL.com~The dense woods looked gloomy. If it hadn't been many times, Liu Wei'an would really not dare to come in alone.
After looking carefully for a while, his eyes lit up, he took a few steps forward, slashed with a knife, and quickly cut down five or six finger-sized saplings, then picked up and ran. This black bloom winter is too scary. The startled bird flapped its wings, as if it was behind him, Liu Wei'an didn't look back, and didn't stop until he ran to the road. After taking a few breaths, he began to make arrows.
This is an iron birch tree, as hard as iron, and as straight as a gun. It is difficult to grow up. If it is not for a sharp dagger, it is really not easy to cut them down. A small tree sapling can be cut into four arrow shafts, exactly twenty-four, peeled and polished to remove all unnecessary things, and finally installed the nail clippers from the carrion hand, and one arrow is enough. manufacture complete.
The arrow of twenty arrows is carrion nails, the arrow of one arrow is animal bones, and the other three have nothing to install. Qin Xu sharpened them, and finished the two with the feathers of Hualing pheasant. All fourteen arrows happened to be used up.
After the bow and arrows are made, the next step is to kill the monsters. Liu Wei'an hesitated and set off toward the cemetery. On a dark night, he went to the cemetery by himself. To be honest, there was a lot of frustration.
There were obviously more monsters in the night than in the day. They sneaked around, civet cats, bobcats, stray dogs, wealthy wolves... Liu Wei'an was not sure to shoot them, so he avoided them one by one, almost one hour and forty minutes later. , Entering the cemetery, it is obvious that the moonlight of this piece of heaven and earth is deeper and Wan Lai is silent.
It seems that because of the corpse energy, almost no creatures like to live in it, no monsters running around, no bugs, Liu Wei'an is not used to it, there is no one around, and he is still big after gritting his teeth. Stepped in.
