"Bring me some lantern arrows..."
Ye Qiong turned back and said to Tang Li. Before Tang Li could give instructions, the two female warriors behind him ran out.
After a while, they each held a bundle and continued to run over.
The lantern arrows currently made in the tribe come in bundles of ten. Because a wooden grease storage box must be built on top of the lantern arrows, they take up much more space than ordinary arrows.
In order to make the light arrow as stable as possible in the air when it is shot out, the box is round. It looks like it is surrounded by a circle of small wooden boards on top of the arrow, forming an inverted triangle. If you only look at the middle That grease box is a bit like an umbrella.
It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. After the lamp arrow falls on the ground, the grease box can keep burning as long as it is not lying flat on the ground.
The top wick, the beginning area, is similar to a fire wick. After you twist it open, you don't need to light it, just shoot it out.
When the arrow is in the air, the core of the fire within the fire will rekindle under the speed of the flow. After it hits the ground, it will quickly ignite the wick.
Although this design sounds simple, it takes a very long time to actually develop and evolve to this point.
Twenty arrows are definitely enough.
After the two arrived, a female warrior placed the lantern arrow in her arms directly on the ground, skillfully pulled out the short knife from her waist, cut the hemp rope, and handed one to Ye Qiong.
The improved lantern arrows using fire breakers also look a lot more refined. Compared with the previous lantern arrows that had to light the wick first, this new type of lantern arrows has a longer range. There is no need to consider the lantern arrows after they are shot out. will go out.
Ye Qiong took the arrow and twisted open the place where the sparks were stored on the light arrow. Another female warrior, who was very discerning, came over with a black long bow on her back.
Naturally, bone crystal arrows are not needed for lantern arrows. After taking the black long bow, Ye Qiong first tested the strength, and then shot an arrow parallel to the black hole.
The sparks on the arrow body glowed reddish-brown when exposed to the wind, and a thin line of sparks appeared in the air.
Within the space that had returned to darkness, there was light again, but it was very weak.
"Bang!"
The arrow only flew in the air for about two seconds when a dull crashing sound came from inside.
"boom……"
After the Mars, which was already very hot, stopped, the flames that were originally just like threads suddenly sprang up and became the size of a palm. After a while, they returned to the normal flame height of two or three meters high.
Ye Qiong looked at the flame flower in the dark space and felt that he could continue to upgrade the lantern arrows. If the kerosene could be extracted, after these lantern arrows were upgraded and put a burning bottle on them, they would be very lethal. .
Glass is difficult to make now, but there are still a lot of earthy bottles. When there is clay soil, after the discovery of coal mines, ceramics can now be fired in the central tribe.
Many of the bottles in Ye Qiong's laboratory are made of ceramics. There is no need to pay attention to any artistic value now, so there are no patterns or other carvings on them, only plain gray-brown bottles.
Putting kerosene inside, it can be used as a Molotov cocktail. In terms of power, it may be no worse than a grenade for large-sized Warcraft.
Kerosene is easier to refine than gasoline. Coal can also be directly refined into gasoline. However, based on the current refining base of the central tribe, Ye Qiong has arranged a team to study it. As for when it can be produced, now You can’t say for sure, so you can only wait patiently.
In addition to gasoline and kerosene, there is another thing that is easier to refine, and that is...
Alcohol!
It's easy, easy, but alcohol is the essence of food. Brewing wine will waste a lot of food. If alcohol is directly extracted, food will be a major problem.
Now there are no crops that can make wine. The tribe only has naturally fermented and slightly purified fruit wine. Fruit wine is a luxury product in the tribe. Ye Qiong himself cannot achieve the freedom of fruit wine, let alone purified alcohol.
After the problem of crops is solved, alcohol can be stored as a strategic material for the current central tribe. Alcohol with a concentration of 75% can be disinfected and sterilized, and 95% alcohol can be used to make Molotov cocktails. .
In a war in the cold weapon age, it would be terrifying to think about if one side could possess Molotov cocktails.
One warrior threw a Molotov cocktail directly at the other warrior. The other warrior slashed with a knife, and even the gods couldn't save him.
Throwing it directly on the ground can also cause area damage!
If combined with the Gale Golden Eagle and the mass production is sufficient, it can be directly air-exploded.
Bring a flying brigade and throw some Molotov cocktails into the Red Flame Leopard tribe's crypt for nothing else. It will definitely drive them crazy.
Even in the era of thermal weapons, Molotov cocktails are very useful. Tanks are most afraid of these things. They have withstood the test of war. If you throw one at the tank's fuel tank, you will hear a loud explosion soon. , if it could be thrown directly into the inner compartment of the tank from above, it would be roasted alive.
The flames on the lamp arrows burned steadily in the space inside.
Ye Qiong roughly estimated the distance. It was about thirty meters, which was not very deep. However, if the length was similar on both sides, the area inside would be thousands of square meters.
Still not small!
Under the light, Ye Qiong could also clearly see the scene inside.
In the center area, there is a round-looking platform with liquid inside, and the light of the lamp arrow has a very blurry reflection on it.
From this point of view, the viscosity of these liquids is not low. If it is clear water, the reflection of the flame light will be very clear.
The area around the platform is not empty. Some black blocks can be seen, just as the young soldier said when they were at the wooden house base.
Ye Qiong continued to borrow an arrow and shot towards the black block.
The light of the flame intensified again...
Originally, when Ye Qiong heard the black lumps, the first thing he thought of was the same brick-like things as the dam base and the ruins area.
However, after he continued to shoot a light arrow, he immediately rejected this idea. No matter the shape or color, they were different and belonged to two kinds of substances.
I squinted my eyes for a while, but didn't see anything.
Based on appearance alone, there are a lot of options. You have to touch Ye Qiong and feel the hardness and feel before you can judge.
Of course, this is only a preliminary judgment. What the specific composition is must be determined through testing and experiments.
