Chapter Ten Crusader Crossbow
This toy crossbow is so exquisitely made. It has a scope, a butt, a trigger, a grip, a bow body, a bow string, etc., and it can be disassembled. It is a pity that this exquisite crossbow is actually a children's toy.
The kind that is common on the market.
Li Baoqiang was frustrated and was about to put down the crossbow, but he suddenly became excited. Isn't this the best mold?
In the past few days, he has been thinking about the weapons of the team members. There are too few guns and bullets are almost running out. In addition to close-range spears, swords, and daggers, Li Baoqiang always wants to find another long-range attack weapon. After all, long-range strikes can only
Best protect yourself.
He once thought about making bows and arrows, but his experience as a former Marine made him miss the military crossbow he used, which was small and exquisite, had a long range and high accuracy, and was often used in special operations.
Li Baoqiang hurried to find Liu Junsheng with a crossbow and greeted him repeatedly, but Zhang Juncai happily waved his fist. Haha, he had done Li Baoqiang another big favor.
Liu Junsheng and two master blacksmiths were sweating profusely while making spears and Miao knives. When they saw Li Baoqiang coming in, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing.
Li Baoqiang said excitedly: "Let's see if we can imitate it?"
Liu Junsheng studied the crossbow carefully for a while, looked around at the equipment around him, thought for a moment and said firmly: "No problem, it's just that it will be slower and it will also delay the production of the Miao Dao."
"Two masters are making swords and guns, and you and I are making crossbows, a two-pronged approach." Li Baoqiang said without any doubt.
In fact, Li Baoqiang can make bows, arrows and crossbows. When he was a child, he used pencils, rubber cords and ballpoint pens to make crossbows. He also shot a classmate and was beaten by his father. So he had some experience in making crossbows.
Liu Junsheng thought for a while, then began to rummage through the warehouse, and then went out to look for the supplies collected today. After a while, he brought two young technicians back and brought in a lot of equipment at the same time.
"This is the most important material, spring steel!" Liu Junsheng said, holding up a steel plate.
With the key materials in hand, Li Baoqiang breathed a sigh of relief. The four of them studied it and started to make a copycat crossbow.
Liu Junsheng first disassembled the toy crossbow, carefully traced the size of each part, and made a paper pattern. Then he opened the acetylene cylinder and oxygen cylinder, adjusted the flame, and cut on the spring steel sheet under the bright blue flame.
A piece of bow body.
The old-fashioned lathe came into play. Without electricity, Liu Junsheng led the young technicians to manually punch, press, turn, lathe, and drill. After a while, the curved bow body was formed. After polishing it carefully, it was almost the same size as a toy crossbow.
Exactly the same.
Li Baoqiang happily looked at Liu Junsheng and the two young technicians, "They are all talents. What is most expensive in the new era is talent. Anyone with skills in the apocalypse is a talent." He is now accustomed to calling the post-apocalyptic era a new era.
The pulley bearings are all ready-made; the bowstring is replaced with thin stranded steel wire, the trigger is turned out, and similar replacements are found for the spring. Li Baoqiang also cuts a piece of wood with a knife to complete the butt and handle. Liu Junsheng carefully assembles and installs the final
After one screw, a small and exquisite crossbow was finally completed.
The only drawback is that there is no scope, but there are still simple sights, and the position of the scope is reserved. If the scope is available in the future, it can be fixed directly with screws.
"There are no crossbow arrows." Li Baoqiang looked around the warehouse, and he found a pack of welding rods. The old welding rods were all gone when he touched them with his hand.
Li Baoqiang used a lathe grindstone to grind out a pointed tip, gently placed it in the crossbow slot, pulled the bow string hard to buckle it, pointed at a wooden board in the distance, gently pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow swished into the wooden board. Success!
It was already midnight, and more than ten candles were used in the repair room. Liu Junsheng and others jumped up excitedly. How great is the creativity and passion of people? Laid-off workers and young technicians can actually make a living overnight.
Time to produce such perfect military products.
Li Baoqiang held the hands of Liu Junsheng's masters tightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have saved everyone. With weapons, we have one more chance of survival."
Everyone was very excited and looked at the young village chief in front of them, "He can always bring miracles, we are determined to follow him!"
With Bentou, the days are always busy and pass quickly.
Within seven days, the villagers were distributed again. Zhang Juncai led 30 people to continue collecting supplies. The fat man Wang Zhiming and the thin man each led 10 people to take turns protecting each other and also helping to collect supplies. A group that did not participate in the protection was led by Li Baoqiang.
Next, practice with the spears, swords, and daggers that are constantly being made.
Li Baoqiang taught several simple and practical assassination and slashing movements according to the physical condition of the team members, and practiced them repeatedly.
The team members held weapons with exquisite patterns, and their enthusiasm for training continued to rise. After all, in the apocalypse, if you have weapons and learn self-defense skills, you will always have a greater chance of survival.
In seven days, Li Baoqiang, Professor Zhao, and He Qun worked together to plan the location of the city wall and moat ditch, and organized the remaining men, women, and children to dig the moat ditch. At the same time, Zhang Juncai also continuously sent supplies from the town, including
Several carts of old and new bricks, stones and cement.
Li Baoqiang couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Juncai had given up his talents and was really wronged for not being a logistics minister. Who would have thought that a disabled veteran and a school security guard could have such strong organizational skills.
During the seven days, several master masons also showed their special skills. They built the city wall brick by brick accurately and meticulously. This was a life-saving wall, so how could we not be serious about it.
The two walls inside and outside are about twelve meters wide, with a three-meter-wide door opening in the middle. Zhang Juncai is looking for materials for the door. The edge of the wall is built to the edge of the cliff. Each wall is one and a half bricks wide, with two
The distance between the walls is three meters, and the earth and rocks dug out from the trenches are mixed in between. The height of the city walls is increasing day by day, and people's sense of security is also increasing.
In seven days, Liu Junsheng and several masters worked overtime to make thirty Miao knives, thirty special daggers, and one hundred spears. The gun shafts were made of white wax sticks cut from the mountains, which were extremely tough.
Ten crossbows were also made, each with a quiver containing fifty crossbow arrows made from old welding rods. Liu Junsheng also specially squeezed out a little engine oil from his inventory and carefully coated each weapon with a layer of engine oil.
Oil.
During the seven days, the food consumption was also huge. The villagers had no meat to eat and the physical exertion was high. Rice porridge alone could no longer sustain such high-intensity physical exertion. Injuries and illnesses gradually appeared among the villagers, but they were still in good spirits.
After all, I saw hope.
Seeing that everything was gradually on track, Li Baoqiang decided to lead his team into the mountains to hunt, using hunting as training, and at the same time letting the villagers perform tooth-beating rituals.
A team of people was struggling to move forward in the lofty mountains. At this time, Li Baoqiang led the armed team to train in the Qinling Mountains for three days. The team members suffered a lot, but they gained a lot.
Li Baoqiang stood on a high slope, looking at the group of high-spirited team members in front of him. He couldn't calm down for a long time, recalling the experience of the past three days.
"Get dressed!" Li Baoqiang gave the order. The villagers gathered around the team and looked at Li Baoqiang and his team curiously.
The team members are all dressed in camouflage training uniforms and coats, and their feet are black high-waisted military and police boots. One person has a bright spear in his hand, and a Miao knife and dagger hanging on the left side of his waist. Liu Junsheng made a temporary
The scabbards and dagger scabbards are quite good, and the female soldiers carry crossbows on their left shoulders and right sides. Under the current conditions, the team members can be said to be armed to the teeth.
There were all kinds of backpacks on their backs. Unfortunately, except for a short shovel, the backpacks were empty and they didn't bring any food.
Li Baoqiang had the same attire and equipment as them, except that the crossbow was replaced by a submachine gun, and he also brought the little wolf cub in his backpack. A month later, the little wolf cub Candy has grown a few centimeters taller and lost its childishness and cuteness.
, highlighting a bit of wolf nature.
Li Baoqiang arranged for Zhang Juncai to organize the remaining young adults in the village, each with a spear and a spear. While collecting supplies and building the village, they also practiced assassination and protected the village during the absence of the armed forces. In addition, he also separately asked Liu Junsheng to develop a native gun.
and steel ball shooting crossbows and other weapons.
Li Baoqiang said goodbye to Professor Zhao and the main leaders of Hope Village one by one.
Zhao Xiaoxiao stared at Li Baoqiang, his heart agitated. In just one month, from the time Li Baoqiang appeared to the present, Hope Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"What kind of person is he?" Zhao Xiaoxiao regretted not joining the armed forces. She wanted to experience ups and downs with Li Baoqiang and face life together.
He Qun stared at the two of them coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Under the expectant eyes of the villagers, the team set off. Li Baoqiang looked back at the city wall that had been initially built and secretly cheered up.
"Wait for me to come back, give me a few days, and give you a miracle!"
The team marched in columns all the way. At the beginning, there was a path into the mountains, and then there was the uninhabited virgin forest. The purpose of this outdoor survival training was to train the team's team awareness, cooperation awareness and improve their ability to survive in the wild.
Li Baoqiang believes that if Hope Village expands outward in the next step, it will inevitably face a situation of lack of food and clothing, so wilderness survival ability training is mentioned as the first priority by Li Baoqiang.
Li Baoqiang used the break to explain to the team members: "The first thing to survive in the wild is to identify the direction. In the absence of standard equipment such as terrain maps and compasses, it is necessary to master some methods of using natural features to determine the direction.
It is very simple to use the sun to determine the direction. You can use a benchmark pole to make it perpendicular to the ground, and place a stone at the vertex a of the benchmark shadow. After about 10 minutes, when the vertex of the benchmark shadow moves to position b, place another stone.
Stone. Connect two points a and b into a straight line. The direction of this straight line is the east-west direction. The direction perpendicular to the line ab is the north-south direction, and the end facing the sun is south."
Li Baoqiang gestured with the spear, and the team members followed suit with the spear.
"Use an analog watch to determine the direction of the sun. The method is: place the watch horizontally and halve the (24-hour) time indicated by the hour hand, facing the sun. The direction indicated by the 12 o'clock scale on the dial is the approximate north.
.If the current time is 16 o'clock, the 8 o'clock scale of the watch points to the sun, and the 12 o'clock scale points to the north."
