Zhao Feng looked at the tools in the room and couldn't help but smile.
As a man in science and engineering in his previous life, Zhao Feng's hands-on ability was definitely much better than that of many people. He usually also made some small things by himself, which was the source of his confidence.
Although the tools in the room at this time seemed a bit crude compared to later generations, they were at least usable.
So Zhao Feng tried these tools and then said to Chen Shan.
"My father-in-law, I may not understand something very well. I still need my father-in-law to give me some guidance."
Hearing this, Chen Shan felt happy. He didn't expect that Zhao Feng was quite good at talking.
So he agreed: "Okay, tell me first what you want to do?"
Zhao Feng thought about it in his mind. Now his best source of income is this mountain. It can be said that all the treasures in this mountain are treasures. It is absolutely impossible to rely on the mountain to rely on it.
For example, some wild medicinal materials, precious trees in the mountains, etc. Unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn't recognize any of them.
So Zhao Feng's target is the wild beasts in the mountains!
You know, delicacies from the mountains and game are extremely high-quality ingredients in any era. Even here, people will pay for them, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Moreover, the skins of some wild beasts can be sold separately, so although the hunter's job is dangerous, many people still flock to it.
So Zhao Feng said to Chen Shan: "Zhang Yue, I plan to make a bow and some arrows, mainly for self-defense."
"Then we will make some traps and other traps. Those mechanisms require more delicate processing, so we can only use these tools to make them!"
When Zhao Feng set up traps to catch hares before, he found that those simple tree sticks could not meet his requirements. If they could be more sophisticated, Zhao Feng could even use traps to catch wild boars!
Unexpectedly, Chen Shan frowned when he heard this, with a troubled expression on his face.
"Zhao Feng, you should know that our great Zhou Dynasty has very strict control over iron weapons, and the control over weapons is even stricter!"
"If you are reported for making bows and arrows, I'm afraid the county magistrate will have to arrest you!"
Zhao Feng nodded. He also learned about this in his previous memory. The control of weapons in the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be very strict. Even if you hide a piece of armor privately, you will be punished by death. Hiding more than three weapons is also a death penalty!
"Father-in-law, I know this, so I only need three arrows!"
Chen Shan suddenly looked at Zhao Feng in shock.
"Three arrows? If you really encounter a wild beast, I'm afraid you may not be able to hit it!"
"No, this is too dangerous. You'd better catch some hares and the like!"
Zhao Feng shook his head, smiled, and said to Chen Shan: "Zhang Yue, you misunderstood."
"The bow and arrow I want to make is quite special, different from the usual bows and arrows, and these three arrows refer to arrows with arrows attached."
"When you encounter those small beasts, you only need to use some sharpened sticks, which can still have enough killing power!"
Having said this, Zhao Feng chuckled: "Those sharpened sticks are not considered weapons, are they?"
Chen Shan suddenly hesitated.
"this……"
Although Chen Shan instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, he had never heard of any bows and arrows that could kill wild beasts with just some sticks, but after seeing Zhao Feng's requesting expression, and Zhao Feng's rescue today It cost him his life, so he had to sigh.
"Okay, then you give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I will never allow you to take risks. I don't want my daughter to be a widow!"
Zhao Feng immediately nodded in surprise and said with a smile: "Then I will make the bow first. Do you know where there is bamboo?"
Chen Shan smiled and nodded: "Just wait here, I'll get it for you!"
After saying this, Chen Shan walked out, and Zhao Feng directly found charcoal and started drawing on the wood.
What he wants to make is not an ordinary bow. After all, bows and arrows require long-term training to ensure their lethality. He only has three days now, so he has no time to train at all!
What Zhao Feng wants to do is a compound crossbow!
This compound crossbow is loaded with gears and fired with a trigger. Not only does it require less experience and physical strength from the user, but it also allows you to load arrows in advance and just aim and shoot when needed!
At this time, after Zhao Feng had drawn the shape, he started making it directly. He first used a hammer and chisel to make the rough shape, and then used a file to regularize the shape bit by bit.
When Chen Shan came back with a large piece of bamboo, Zhao Feng had already made the gears and the main body of the crossbow. Chen Shan asked in surprise when he saw the crossbow made by Zhao Feng.
"Why is your bow different from the ones I usually see?"
"What is this for?"
Zhao Feng was a little surprised when he heard this: "My father-in-law, have you never seen a crossbow?"
Chen Shan shook his head in confusion, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but slap his forehead. It seems that the world has not yet developed crossbows, and all it has is bows and arrows.
So Zhao Feng introduced it, and Chen Shan waved his hand: "Hey, you can just have your own idea."
"Can I help you with anything?"
Zhao Feng originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't get the crosshair, so he had no choice but to say.
"It would be great if my father-in-law could help me get this out!"
Looking at the small crosshair drawn by Zhao Feng, Chen Shan was a little surprised again.
"Your stuff is quite delicate!"
"It's all on me. I can't get rid of those furniture now. It's easy to get a gadget!"
Zhao Feng quickly thanked him, then found a piece of beef tendon as a crossbow string, fixed the bamboo pieces, and assembled the entire crossbow.
Seeing Zhao Feng assembling the crossbow, Chen Shan nodded with great satisfaction. It seemed that Zhao Feng was not boasting. He really knew some carpentry work.
This also gave Chen Shan something else to think about. If his skills could be passed on to Zhao Feng, then he would have a successor, and his daughter would no longer have to endure hardships.
However, he still had to take another look at Zhao Feng's character before he said anything.
Soon, Zhao Feng installed the crosshair made by Chen Shan and then tried to aim.
Compared with ordinary crossbows, Zhao Feng's crossbow has a notch and a front sight, which is also the simplest way to aim. As long as there are three points and one line, the accuracy will not be too bad!
Looking at the crossbow in Zhao Feng's hand, Chen Shan handed over a sharpened wooden stick.
"Come on, try it!"
Zhao Feng nodded and wanted to see how powerful the crossbow he made was.
So he aimed directly, then pulled the trigger, and saw the crossbow arrow shot out instantly, and it was nailed to the wooden stake with a thud!
Chen Shan was shocked for a moment. He didn't expect that this strange-looking bow and arrow could be so powerful. Even a wooden stick could penetrate three points into the wood!
If this were replaced with iron arrows, it would be unthinkable!
