The sound of the axe slashing on the tree trunk came one after another.

The axe was swung vigorously and deeply embedded in the tree trunk, stirring up a burst of broken pieces of wood, and then the axe handle was shaken by the exploration team and pulled out forcefully.

The trunk was cut with a large enough gap, and the whole tree began to teeter.

The logging team members yelled loudly and issued a reminder, and then several people worked hard to kick on the trunk.

The trunk made a creaking sound and then fell to the ground with a crash.Accompanied by the fine sound of countless branches being broken, the leaves fly around.

Although the exploration team only brought a few axe, it greatly improved the efficiency and saved the players' energy consumption.

Next, the tree trunk is sawn into sections for easy transportation.

These tree trunks must be rolled and transported to the camp for fine processing.

The exploration team did not carry a saw.

However, the needle gold was lent to them.

The "saw" of needle gold comes from a blade spider. The hind limbs of the spider are slender and straight, and there is a row of tight spikes. This is a natural good saw.

The blade spider is a silver-level monster, and the exploratory team quickly realized the power of the silver-level monster from another angle.

They worked in pairs, using the blades of the spider legs to saw through the thick tree trunks, as if they were using a sharp knife to easily cut white bread.

The old scholar Cangxu has a wealth of experience in leadership and command.

Because Zhenjin was in charge, he divided the people in his hands into two groups.

One group cuts the wood, one group peels the bark, and tears the inside of the bark into strips of filaments.

Every once in a while, the two groups will take turns to change the content of their work. In this way, the team members can save energy, have some rest, and maintain the progress of the work.

In one morning, the logging team overfulfilled the task.

A large amount of wood, rolling section by section, was transported to the camp one after another, temporarily stacked in the corner.

There are also filaments torn from the bark, which have been smeared with medicine.

Lunch was increased, and almost everyone was extremely hungry.

Bai Ya and Xanthella are also back at the meal.

They didn't have much harvest, only a few flying birds and a pheasant.This gain is obviously incomparable with the manpower, time, etc., but at least they cleared the mountains and forests near the camp once again.

To everyone's surprise, Jingjin also ordered that there will be a short nap after lunch.This has never happened before.

This is actually Cangxu’s suggestion. The lunch break can ensure the team’s work efficiency in the afternoon.

Although the logging work is over, but the next workload is still very large.

A large number of tree trunks were chopped down to form blocks of planks, which are the prototypes of short bow arms.

Therefore, the length and thickness of the board are required.

Even where the plank is in the original position of the entire trunk, it is best to be the core.

This is joinery's job.

It would be great if there was a carpenter, but the exploratory team members were all laymen, so the layman’s essence was immediately revealed-many tree trunks were destroyed, and many planks were chopped, but after the white bud inspection, they were not qualified.

Unqualified planks can be used to arrange hunter traps.

Even the most tattered wood can be used to burn fire at the worst.After burning, the charcoal and wood ash formed are also good resources and have high practical value.

The exploratory team has reached this point and is in demand for any resources.The resources that are available will never be let go easily.

The progress of woodworking is quite slow, and the anxiety and impatience in Jin Jin's heart accumulate.

Although he also knew that he couldn't be anxious.

To be honest, Zidi's potion did help him a lot, which saved him the most critical time.

Furthermore, the arrangement of Cangbeard is also very reasonable and sufficient. This old scholar has already estimated the unqualified situation.

After the members of the exploration team became familiar with this work, the loss of wood began to decrease greatly.

Qualified boards are born one after another, and more and more.

The number of planks rose to a certain level, and Cangbeard directed everyone to use planks to make short bow arms.

The process is actually quite simple.

You only need to cut the plank into thinner strips to form a shape that is slightly thicker in the middle and slightly thinner at the ends, and cut out notches at both ends to facilitate hanging bowstrings in the future.

The made short bow arms will be smeared with medicine after the white buds are checked and confirmed, and placed in a dark corner to dry.

After this work was over, many people shouted that they thought they could become bowsmiths.

More people keep moving their fingers or kneading their arms, arms, thighs and other muscles.The pain and tingling made them grinning.

Their bodies are close to their limits, but there are other jobs waiting for them.

Need to make a lot of arrows.

There is generally a standard for the selection of arrow shafts. For wood processing that meets the standard, it is cut into a long cylinder, and then the surface is smoothed.

Of course, there is no mature processing link on the exploration team.

The main material for their arrows is branches, which should be as straight as possible and close to the length and thickness of normal arrows.

Bai Ya instructs the people to make arrows, first by removing the skin of the branches and making arrow shafts, then carefully cutting the feathers with a knife, and then sticking them with potions to make arrow feathers.The last step is to bake the arrow slightly to make the wood harden after being carbonized, and then sharpen it.

The arrows made in this way are far from comparable to regular military supplies.

First of all, the selection of arrow shafts is worse. The selection of arrow feathers is not top-notch, it is completely shoddy, but you should not dislike it.

There are too few feathers in the exploration team, most of which come from the feathers and bird feathers that Bai Ya hunted today, so each one must be cherished.

The only comforting thing is that Zidi temporarily configures the potion-it is really sticky!

As for the arrow, it was simply shabby.

Not even an iron arrow.

If it is really used, it will be scrapped after a few times.

The lethality is naturally low, but it is still threatening against ordinary beasts.

In addition to the production of arrows, there are other tasks.

For example, a wooden shield is taller than a person and wider.It is assembled with tree trunks and rattan, and pestle on the ground to form a very simple and short curtain wall.

This is also called a shield.

Long ago, when the human race attacked the castle, there was such a fortification.

By now, such fortifications have long been eliminated.

Even if someone uses it, at least a layer of iron is covered on the surface.

In addition to the shield, there are also wooden spears.

The expedition team members can hold guns in both hands and assassinate flying squirrels within a certain safe distance.

But this tactic is only better than nothing, because everyone knows that the mouse is fast and can glide in mid-air, its tail adjusts its direction in the air, and its posture is very flexible.

What everyone is looking forward to is mainly the short bow.

By the evening, the torn bark had completely dried out, and people sighed about the method of Zipi while they began to rub the twine.

The technique of rubbing the rope was also learned from Bai Ya.

There are tricks here.

Firstly, one strand of filament is divided into two strands, and each strand is rotated counterclockwise. When the two strands are combined, they rotate clockwise.In this way, the woven rope will be tighter and will not easily fall apart.

Hemp rope is used as a bowstring, and each short bow is equipped with at least two bowstrings, one for common use and one for spare.

When it comes to dinner in the evening, the bowstring is basically enough.

Like noon, dinner is also very rich.There is also game, which has become a rare flavor adjustment for everyone.

Early the next morning.

Zhenjin and others all got up early because there is an important thing to do——

Try the bow.

After leaving it for one night and adding the potion of Zidi, the bow has dried.

Bai Ya tried to grab both ends of the bow arm with both hands and bend it vigorously. After seeing the bow arm bend a large arc, he grinned and said, "Excellent. It's better than I thought."

Cangxu groaned: "Xanthella, give you a task. Break this bow arm, but you must slowly apply force."

Xanthella understands the meaning of the blue beard and immediately proceeded. When the bow arm was bent to its limit, it immediately broke into two parts with a click.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes and immediately understood the endurance limit of this simple bow arm.

Cang Xu estimated: "It seems that only one twine can be used as a bowstring."

No one has objections.

Sometimes, multiple hemp ropes are combined to form a bowstring.But after the test, the toughness and limit of this short bow arm, a hemp rope is more appropriate.

Bai Ya tied up the bowstring, he played a live buckle, clever and reliable.

Immediately, the son of the Orion caught the arrow, aimed at the target in the distance, and shot the arrow with a swish.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched.

Obviously, the arrow that had been heading straight ahead flew directly to the upper left, and then landed on a slope.

The range reaches more than fifty steps.

It is far away from the target-I don't know where it's crooked.

But everyone did not express disappointment, and Jin Jin even nodded slightly-he knew this was just the beginning.

The bow needs to be adjusted.

The bow arm is very rough and requires constant use of daggers and other props to continue processing the bow arm.Also adjust the bowstring and arrow.With this process, the quasi-head of the shortbow will become stable and the range will be greatly improved.

In the end, after Baiya's debugging was over, the arrow successfully hit the target a hundred steps away, and the arrow shot into the depth of two fingers.

For this result, needle gold has been very satisfied.

On the one hand, this is not a compound bow, but a single bow. The arms and bowstrings are all made locally, not carefully selected.On the other hand, the arrow does not have an iron arrow, but is sharpened after carbonization, and the treatment is very rough.

It is very good to have such a performance.

Because needle gold is not much required.

They are now in the middle of the forest, not the vast and empty terrain of the grassland, and the long bow is not suitable.

The expedition team members are not good archers. Most of them drive ducks to the shelves. Don't expect them to have any accuracy beyond a hundred steps.

"Limited by the environment and personnel, the effective range of the shortbow can be one hundred steps, which is enough."

"The key is to see how many arrows can we shoot in these hundred steps? If we can shoot more than three arrows and have a certain accuracy rate, then the shortbow plan is considered successful."
