Compared with the frustrated bow and arrow, the development of the new weapon here went much more smoothly, so smooth that in less than an hour, Luo Ji made the first sample.
That's right, after Luo Ji took a step back, the new weapon he chose to make was the sling! To put it simply, it is a catapult soldier. This is probably the oldest long-distance soldier in human civilization, right?
In ancient times, he didn't know how humans made slings, and he hadn't studied them, but the structure and production of slings were obviously much simpler than bows and arrows. He asked someone to find a piece of tough animal skin the size of a palm and four pieces to serve as Considering the strength of the animal tendons of the rope, he weaved two animal tendons into one in a spiral weave, and then used stone spears to forcibly poke four small holes in the edge of the animal hide, one on each side. A simple sling is complete when the sinew is threaded through the hole and fastened with a knot.
System prompt: Congratulations to the player 'Luo Ji' for successfully crafting the 'sling' to obtain 30 civilization points and 3 military points.
The system's reminder made Luo Ji more confident. With the newly completed sling, he happily walked out of the tribe. Whether the new weapon is good or not, you have to try it to know.
The five members of the Ordnance Department followed. They were obviously very curious about the new weapon in the hands of their patriarch, which was simple in shape but had never been seen before.
On the way to the experimental site, Luo Ji didn't let the five of them idle, and collected a lot of stones of suitable size as ammunition for the sling along the way, and at the same time called Luo Yong, Zhao Pan and others who were training.
After all, he made this sling for these warriors in the tribe. However, their tribe is currently short of manpower, and it is impossible for Luo Ji to increase the number of warriors in the tribe in a short time.
In this way, the candidate for the slinger can only be selected from the existing tribal fighters, but four of the wolf fighters are on the side of the Black Rock Tribe, so there are only 14 warriors on the Mingjing Tribe.
After the rigorous training some time ago, the fourteen tribal fighters finally had a somewhat disciplined and well-trained feeling. Standing there in a neat row gave people a much more reliable feeling.
No nonsense, Luo Ji personally demonstrated in battle, who among this group of people is the only one who has a little research on this newly made sling?
Holding one end of the sling in his hand, he placed a round stone about the size of a tennis ball on the animal hide. To be honest, Luo Ji was quite nervous, as he had never actually used the sling. , if he misses and accidentally injures himself, wouldn't he, the patriarch, lose face?
"Calm down." Luo Ji comforted himself in his heart, and after casually adjusting his breathing, Luo Ji's mood quickly calmed down, "It should be the same principle as turning the pen, anyway, it is to use the centrifugal force of the spinning"
With this in mind, Luo Ji gently shook the hand holding the sling twice to find the feeling, and then exerted strength, and the sling in his hand immediately spun rapidly, making whistling sounds.
Luo Ji's actions caused a burst of exclamation from the people behind, and pairs of curious eyes suddenly focused on the constantly spinning sling.
Without much delay, with a feeling that he would die early and be reborn early, and that he would lose face if he was ashamed, Luo Ji saw an opportunity and swung the sling that was spinning rapidly in his hand far away! The stone placed on the animal skin immediately flew out with a 'swipe' sound.
His strength was not bad, and coupled with the blessing of centrifugal force, the stone flew very far. Seeing this, Luo Ji finally heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, according to his aim, it would be enough to make him burst into tears.
"Hmm!" With a dry cough, Luo Ji turned around solemnly, feeling the sights full of surprise, excitement and admiration, and his self-esteem was greatly satisfied immediately, "Anyway, that's it, who wants to try it?" one time?"
"I, I!" Hearing this, Luo Yong, who had long been eager to try, quickly expressed that he wanted to try.
Luo Ji didn't care too much, and directly handed the sling in his hand to Luo Yong. After explaining the key points of the operation to him, he let him try it himself.
The difficulty of the sling itself is how to control the head so that it can hit the target relatively accurately. It is not too difficult to just throw the sling.
I saw that after Luo Yong put the stones on, he made the sling spin smoothly. He was very powerful, and he felt astonishing momentum just by waving and spinning. However, before Luo Ji could sigh for a second, At that time, only a muffled sound of 'bang' was heard, and the stone bullet slammed heavily on the ground with an astonishing force, hitting the ground directly.A small hole the size of a bowl was made, and the visual range is aboutwell, five meters
"Pfft!" At that moment, Luo Ji couldn't hold it back at all, and accidentally burst out laughing.
And Luo Yong's face was flushed red on the spot. Although Luo Ji didn't explain the standard, but looking at Luo Ji's previous demonstration, the distance the stone bullet flew, and looking at him, anyone can see what he just did. How bad it is to play.
As a long-range weapon, what kind of trouble is this with a range of about five meters? It's better to just charge up with the stone spear and fight in close combat.
The smile on his face faded slightly, Luo Ji walked forward in two steps, and patted Luo Yong on the shoulder, "Okay, let's change to another one, everyone come over to get acquainted, and I will choose four or five of you to use later. The best men practice this sling specifically."
Luo Yong's problem at the time was obviously that he was using too much force and he hadn't seen the right timing, so he shot that ridiculous range, but it didn't matter. As a fierce player who can charge in the front row, Luo Yong Ji Ke didn't intend to change Luo Yong's career as a slinger at all, but it's obviously unreasonable not to let him try, just taking advantage of the moment just now to let him dispel the idea.
After comforting Luo Yong for a while, and publicly stating that both slingers and melee fighters have their own strengths, and there is no distinction between strength and weakness, Luo Ji then turned around and asked the Ordnance Department to follow this pattern. A few throwing stones came out, and then let them practice first. Although the development in the tribe has been on the right track recently, his daily work is still not easy.
After such a long time, the fortifications outside the Mingjing tribe have almost been built halfway. As the patriarch, he should go back and continue to fight against his "pulley block". At the same time, the design of the entire city gate has to be drawn quickly. OK.
