Chapter 6 Weaponry and Equipment Improvement
  The village chief discussed with the elders of the An family and Liu family to select 40 young adults from the two surnames to form a protection team and equip them with the weapons at hand. They are only responsible for guarding and keeping vigil on a daily basis. They are not required to do other tasks. The food supply is also collectively provided by the village.

After two days of simple training, the village's temporary security team began to take office.

An Ningning looked at some people holding bows and arrows, others holding hatchets, axes, and sledgehammers. She also knew that these would probably only scare away some wild beasts and refugees.

With the equipment in the village, if they really encounter bandits and officers and soldiers, they have almost no combat effectiveness. Even if they encounter other refugees, they can be taken away with two hoes.

Bows and arrows are barely considered weapons that can be used for offense or for long-distance defense.

An Ningning looked at the hunters holding bows and arrows in the village with eager eyes. She was very interested in the styles of these cold weapon bows and arrows.

If everyone in the village is armed, there is no chance of survival when encountering ordinary bandits.

In the interstellar world, all hot weapons are used, and these cold weapons are like antiques. She is also a fan of cold weapons. She even has some in the starship, and she even indulged in them for a while and studied them.

She is only a three-year-old child now, and there is no way she can do this!
  I had no choice but to pester Mr. An and Mr. An, "Dad, uncle, I want that bow and arrow!"

"That's too dangerous. Children can't play with lethal weapons." Boss An thought to himself, your father and I don't even have one. What are you thinking about?

"No, no, I have to, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I have no choice but to use my special trick.

An Laoer was smart and said, "Brother, if everyone in the village's security team has a bow and arrow, they won't be afraid of ordinary refugees and bandits."

"No, no, I want it, ahhhhhhh."

"Second brother, I have never made a bow and arrow. These are family cooking skills. Will you tell me about this skill selflessly?"

"No, no, I want it, ahhhhhhh."

"Brother, why don't you give it a try? Maybe it will happen?"

An Laoer pinched her with precision with one hand, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he started to howl coquettishly like a repeater.

Boss An looked at the little cotton-padded jacket who was noisily rereading, and then at the second brother who was a scholar with an encouraging face. He gritted his teeth and shamelessly went to Orion Liu Erhu to learn how to make bows and arrows.

An Ningning was worried about Boss An, and decided to cheer her dad up silently and brush her face at the same time.

Liu Erhu is the newly appointed security captain in the village. He usually trades other things with the villagers for other things when he catches prey. He is also quite honest.

Hearing Boss An's request, he immediately agreed, and saw An Ningning next to him with wide eyes and a winking expression.

She was so cute, I couldn't help but pinch her little face with my hands, smacked her teeth, and gave her a beef tendon string for a bow and arrow.

An Ningning held a beef tendon arrow string and touched the pinched little fleshy face. It felt so hard!
  Liu Erhu knew the general process, but the current situation did not allow it. His bows were made of elm and willow wood that his father, an old hunter, had accumulated in the past. The bow was made of beef tendon or deer tendon.

His bow and arrows are capable of fighting against beasts such as wolves. After listening to the description of the key points and processes of making bows and arrows, Boss An also understood that making bows and arrows is not difficult, but the difficult part is collecting the materials. But now the materials do not allow it, so we can only use local materials.

Boss An was holding Liu Erhu's bow and arrow. He told him about the production process. He was groping for it while walking during the day and thinking about it while resting. There was no suitable wood. At Liu Erhu's suggestion, he changed to bamboo and started over and over again. test.

It is really not difficult to make this kind of bamboo bow, and there are many materials. However, the lethality of this kind of bow is too low, and it is not durable for bows and arrows. It is very easy to loosen or break.

An Ningning followed Boss An, looking anxious. She also knew that there was an improved bow and arrow structure - the recurve bow.

The limbs of a traditional straight-draw bow are pulled taut in the direction of the bow's natural curvature. Simply put, the greater the pull, the greater the force required to continue pulling. The pulling force curve is always rising, which means the force is uneven.

In a recurve bow, the limbs of the bow are tightened in the opposite direction from their natural curvature. Simply put, the upper and lower ends of the recurve bow bend in the opposite direction of the main body of the bow, which solves the shortcomings of straight-drawing the bow. Its tension curve is very average. If you keep pulling with the same tension, it can always deform. Finally, when you want to When you shoot, shoot the arrow.

It saves effort and can shoot farther and more accurately. The temporary security teams in these villages simply do not have that much time to practice ordinary bows and arrows, not to mention the strength required to draw a bow, which most ordinary people do not have.

These days, Boss An made a lot of semi-finished products and finished bows and arrows and distributed them to everyone, and everyone started practicing with the semi-finished products.

An Ningning looked at it and said, "No, it's too lethal." She pestered Boss An to make her a small bow as per her request.

Boss An was originally dissatisfied with the results of continuous experiments, and what he made was more like a toy. I was a little shocked, but my baby girl’s little request was still met.

After two days of experimentation and running-in, I finally made a small bow and arrow. It was a small recurve bow and arrow specially made according to An Ningning's height.

It takes more effort than the previous one, and there is an extra step of craftsmanship.

During the break, I specially carried An Ningning to the mountains and tried it. It was very good. At least An Ningning hit a pheasant within 5 meters with one arrow.

Boss An was shocked, "Ning Bao, have you learned it before?" He was always at home. This kid is so good, why didn't he know?
  Queen An proudly raised her small breasts and said, "It's so simple, do you still need to learn it?" Shooting is a skill that interstellar people are born with!

Biu, the old father feels hurt!
  When Mr. An was young, he once dreamed of becoming a good hunting archer. He learned hunting from the hunters in the village for a while, but his accuracy was too poor, so he gave up later.

It was rare to have pheasants to eat at night, so Sanbao pouted, a little unhappy.

In the past few days, Ning Bao had been driving him to play with his two brothers. He couldn't believe that Ning Bao and his father had hidden such a big thing from him.

The baby is very angry and cannot be coaxed without a small bow and arrow!

The eldest and second treasures of the An family looked at Ning Bao's little bow and arrow with greedy eyes. Even the second child An rarely wandered around her eldest brother, obviously wanting it!
  An Laoer: Sir, why do you like weapons? Is it unfortunate that he has the opportunity to be both civil and military?

So two days later, apart from Mrs. An and Mr. Zhang, the An family looked handsome regardless of their accuracy.

Then the crowd in the village exploded. Anjia's bows and arrows were relatively advanced!
  The adults are salivating with greed, the children are crying, they are greedy for toys - bows and arrows, and they are greedy for pheasants!

 Note, the information on bows and arrows comes from the Internet
