Chapter 85, Archery
After the first test, Luo Ji looked at the data records in front of him. The expression on his face could be said to be mixed. He was happy that he had finally made this bow and arrow, but he was worried that there were still many flaws...
The expected flaw is the lack of stability. The feathers at the end of the most common arrows are actually used to increase the stability of the arrow, and can also increase the flight speed and range. However, on their side,
We are currently unable to obtain enough feathers, and the lack of stability is a reality that we have to accept at the moment.
In addition, there is the issue of range. In Luo Ji's previous test firing of more than 20 arrows, the range of each arrow was visually estimated to be around 80 or 90 meters. This range is actually quite far, but to be honest, it is not far away from Luo Ji.
The editor's expectations were still a little off. According to his previous expectations, he wanted to reach a range of more than 100 meters.
Luo Ji, who rubbed his chin and sat cross-legged in the Ordnance Department's tent, suddenly said, "Tell me, if I add another piece of animal tendon and weave three animal tendons into a bow string, can it effectively increase the range and power of the bow and arrow?"
After hearing this, the little fox quickly fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "But as a result, the requirements for the archer's arm strength have also increased, and there is also a cost issue..."
Luo Ji nodded subconsciously. The two spirally braided bowstrings of animal sinews had already reached a certain level of consumption of arm strength. If it were to increase the difficulty of drawing the bow, it would not be suitable for ordinary soldiers. At the same time, the cost was also very high.
It's a big problem. Take the Ordnance Department as an example. Not only the bow strings, but also the leather armors being made need to be connected with animal sinews. There are so many places that need to use animal sinews in this era, but it's not possible.
A waste of resources.
"Okay, let's leave it like this for the time being." As he spoke, Luo Ji raised the long bow in his hand, "Liu Shu, just use this as the standard. You should work harder and try your best to ensure the quality.
I will make more bows and arrows in a short time."
Liu Shu naturally agreed to Luo Ji's instructions. By the way, in order to facilitate the distribution of work, Luo Ji divided the Ordnance Department into two small departments, namely the Ordnance Research and Development Department and the Ordnance Production Department, and the Ordnance Research Department.
The development work is basically handed over to Xiao Hu and two other members who are relatively talented in this area, while the polishing and production work is handed over to Liu Shu and others. The two departments can be said to have a clear division of labor, which has greatly improved
Improve work efficiency.
After leaving the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji returned to his tent and opened the attribute panel, intending to check the military items he had unlocked before...
Archery (Level 0): I shoot arrows into the sky, and I don’t know where the arrows will land. The archer’s combat power increases by 10%.
There is no doubt that this is a very useful military project. In addition, archers are the long-range arms that have been used almost throughout the entire cold weapon era. To put it bluntly, before entering the hot weapon era, archers were the signature of long-range arms.
, there will always be a place on the battlefield, and there is no need to hesitate at all. Luo Ji directly spent the ten military points he had saved on the upgrade of the 'Archery' project. This is a military project that will never lose money.
.
After upgrading the 'Arching Skill' to the first level, Luo Ji turned off the attribute panel and planned to carefully consider the choice of archer. As mentioned before, archers and slingers each have their own advantages.
Generally speaking, archers are a more comprehensive unit and can handle most battles. If it were other players, after the development of bows and arrows is completed, they would probably abandon the slingers and use their long-range weapons
All units have been replaced with more comprehensive archers.
But Luo Ji was different. He had a development plan for himself. In order to deal with the invasion of other players in the early stage, he preset a playing style that focused on the farming style of defending the city! And in defending the city
In battle, the slinger unit is miraculous!
In this way, after the successful development of bows and arrows, Luo Ji, who did not intend to give up the slingers, planned to keep some of the slingers as city defenders stationed in tribal camps, and then convert the remaining part into archers to let them
You can follow the warrior troops in field operations at any time. As for this candidate, you have to choose carefully.
During this period, Zhou Yue, a tribal warrior, rushed back to the tribal camp again to report the frontline news to Luo Ji...
After listening to Zhou Yue's report, Luo Ji frowned slightly and asked, "Are there barbarians from other tribes showing up?"
"Yes, but those savages only showed their heads slightly and left after seeing the hyena group blocking the outside."
Those barbarians didn't seem to be stupid. They knew that if they got close, they would easily provoke these notorious ancient hooligans, so after taking a look from a distance and discovering the situation here, they left directly, obviously not intending to get involved.
When He came in, Luo Ji had no idea about this and directly said, "Don't worry about them for now. Let's talk about the situation of the hyenas."
"Over the past few days, the number of hyenas wandering around the periphery has decreased. Now there are only five hyenas left. The captain said that they should have split up. Some of the hyenas went to hunt elsewhere, while some stayed here to continue searching.
Chance."
"Zhao Pan is right." Luo Ji nodded and agreed with Zhao Pan's judgment, "Don't be careless. Just hold on for a few more days and it will be over soon."
Luo Ji, who had developed the bow and arrow, already showed the composure of being the dominant party in his words and deeds. He quickly sent an order to Zhao Pan to arrange his plan, and then carefully selected from the original slingers who were skilled in archery.
Five people with outstanding talents formed the first archer team.
Considering that arrows are consumables, the five-person team in the early stage is relatively safe. No matter how many people there are, there may be a risk that they cannot afford it. The collapse of economic resources is simply a shame for farming players. As a farming player,
How could Luo Ji, a man who vowed to become the 'Farming King', make such a stupid mistake?
There is no need to practice with fixed archery targets. Practical combat is the best teaching! These people were all forced to come out. Luo Ji directly went into battle himself. He had already shot more than 500 arrows in the previous trial of bow and arrow works.
It's more than enough to teach these newbies.
"Watch it!" I saw Luo Ji bending his bow and nodding an arrow, taking aim a moment, and the sharp arrow on the string shot towards a hyena in the distance with a 'whoosh' sound. The whole action was actually so exciting.
The meaning of flowing clouds and flowing water seems quite powerful.
The cunning hyena had obviously never seen such a weapon before. The arrow flew so fast that the hyena had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, a wailing sound was heard in the distance, and a cruel blood flower was heard.
