Section 410

It’s no different than eating raw fish.

After taking a sip of coconut milk, the taste in his mouth was something that Lu Yu would never forget.

But there is no other way. Smoking and drying is the only way to extend the shelf life of food so far.

Something to eat is better than nothing.

…

Finished lunch.

Lu Yu lay on the bed and took a nap for a while, then got up and went to the vegetable garden.

Conditions in the fields are good.

Some stems have even sprouted buds.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu immediately zoomed in on the camera.

Many details of the roots are shown to the audience:

"Look."

"After careful cultivation during this period, some stems have sprouted."

"At this rate, it won't take long for the roots to take root. By then, we can remove these wooden sticks..."

The emergence of cassava seedlings is definitely good news.

Not only did it solve a big problem, it also verified the feasibility of wilderness farming.

It attracted a lot of cheers from the audience:

"666!"

"Really! NB!"

"Awesome! At first I thought Yu Shen was just showing off, but I didn't expect that he actually succeeded!"

"Will the landlord finally have a surplus of food?"

"Pacific Landlord!"

"Not bad!"

…

Many viewers did not expect that crops could be successfully cultivated in such a place.

Although this farmland looks like that, no one knows how feasible it is.

However, after seeing it today, everyone was convinced of it.

Farming with bare hands in the wilderness is really too hardcore...

The farmland was growing well, and Lu Yu was even happy.

Finally, the work was not in vain.

Now that the seed stems have sprouted, all the previous worries have become nothing.

Next, as long as you pay attention to protection and water properly, there won't be any big problems.

Unlike other crops, wild cassava is far less pretentious than imagined.

The vitality is extremely tenacious.

Even without careful care, the maturity rate is very impressive.

This.

This is one of the important reasons why it is called the strongest carbohydrate in the wilderness.

…

Left the vegetable garden.

Lu Yu stood in front of the hut, looked at it for a while, and then said slowly:

"When I was hunting turkeys just now, I wish I had a bow in my hand. At least I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Although I succeeded in the end, if we encounter a similar situation, relying only on stone spears is not stable enough."

"Also, in a few days, we will set off for the hinterland. It will definitely not work without long-range weapons in hand."

"So, while you have time now, why not make a hunting bow on the spot to improve your combat effectiveness."

"With the hunting bow and stone spear, we can basically walk sideways on this island. Even if we meet the guy from the previous night, we will still be able to fight."

While talking, Lu Yu slowly walked to the slope house.

Picking through a pile of firewood.

It seems that he is looking for the materials needed to make bows and arrows.

"Bows and arrows are the most terrifying and deadly weapons in the Cold War Age. Their history can be traced back to the Late Paleolithic Age."

"Our country is the first country in the world to invent bows and arrows. At that time, the fishing and hunting tribes had learned to gradually modify their hunting tools during the long-term hunting process, so bows and arrows came into being."

"At first, they fought wild beasts with their bare hands, and then they learned to throw stones and clods of earth. Later, they discovered that the elasticity of branches and sticks could be used to project objects. Over time, they invented the bow, just like this - —”

While explaining, Lu Yu finally found a very good walnut stick in the pile of wood.

It is about one meter long and no wider than the palm of your hand.

The cross-section pattern is very beautiful.

The quality isn't bad either.

The most important thing is that the elastic tension also meets the requirements.

Putting the board in front of him, Lu Yu squatted down and picked up a pebble.

Then, hold the stick with your left hand and put the stone and the right hand on the top.

When he was ready, he pulled hard, and then released all his power in an instant, shooting the stone bullet out.

Whoosh!

The pebbles flew far away.

Finally, it disappeared into the jungle below the camp.

"Of course, it's not just bows and arrows."

"The inspiration for slingshots and catapults all come from this. I have to say that human wisdom is very powerful...just a small wooden stick can play so many tricks."

"After the bow was invented, in order to increase its power, people invented arrows."

"Use a tree stick or bamboo pole, cut it into an arrow shaft of a certain length, and sharpen it at one end to make an arrow. At that time, people ground stone flakes, bones or shells into sharp shapes and installed them on one end of the arrow shaft to make Arrows made with stone, bone or shell arrowheads are a big step forward compared to arrows whittled with wooden sticks and bamboo poles alone..."

"Later, with the advent of firearms, this kind of cold weapon gradually faded out of our sight. It is not until today that you have the opportunity to see how a primitive hunting bow is built."

After making a joke.

Lu Yu pulled out the stone knife from his waist.

Cut off all the excess branches on the stick, and then peel off the bark.

I am going to use this piece of peach wood to polish a traditional beautiful hunting machine.

At this time, someone in the barrage asked, why not use bamboo as a bow?

Lu Yu smiled and said:

"Of course a bamboo bow can be used. It has great toughness and is easy to deform."

"Among them, the most representative ones are the Bhutanese bamboo bow and the island country bow, but compared with the wooden bow, the pulling force of the bamboo bow is much smaller, and it may not be able to meet the hunting needs in a short time."

"But the dry and solid wooden bow will not have such a problem."

"Secondly, the production process of the bamboo bow is also very complicated. If the details are not polished well, it will not be able to exert its due power. To exaggerate, it may not even be as good as a toy. Therefore, a traditional beautiful hunting bow is my most cost-effective choice now."

After explaining, he brought a peach wood stick to the campfire.

He picked up a small piece of charcoal.

Prepare to draw the large size of the bow on the stick first.

Then, while carving, he explained:

"Traditional hunting belongs to the category of recurve bows, but don't get it wrong, it is different from the recurve compound bows and competitive recurve bows on the market, and it is not that complicated to make."

"A recurve bow is actually a bare bow, and the end of the bow arm is bent outward."

"In the Avengers, Hawkeye uses a recurve bow."

"The advantage of a recurve bow is that it can store more power than a straight bow of the same specification, making the arrows shot out faster and more powerful. Back then, the Indians used this kind of hunting bow to beat the European colonists to a pulp..."

While talking, he used a charcoal stick to draw on the wooden stick.

After a while.

Lu Yu outlined the general shape of the bow and arrow on the wooden stick of natural wood color.

The whole bow looks slightly bent.

The end of the bow arm is slightly recurved.

The bow handle is slightly concave inward.

The shape is very beautiful.

After having a large bow, the next work process is much simpler.

First use a stone axe to repair the large bow.

Cut off the excess.

Then, remove the center line.

Use red-hot charcoal to melt away the depressions in the bow handle and bow arms, as well as the recurved arc of the bow arms.

These tasks may seem easy.

But if you really do it.

It is definitely not easy.

Without solid manual skills, you can't do it at all.
