Chapter 102 Get Ready

"Sling?!" Luo Ji's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Yes." Ye Shan nodded bitterly, "We were attacked with slings by the wild bear tribe, and the prey we hit was snatched away."

The Jingjing tribe's hunting team, in this era, the weapons in their hands are definitely excellent, but Luo Ji couldn't let them go hunting with slings and a basket of stone bullets on their backs. ill.

As for the bows and arrows that have just been developed before, it takes a lot of time to practice the bows and arrows well. It is better not to use them if the bow skills are too poor and the shooting is not accurate at all. Therefore, even now, the main weapon of the hunting team is It was also a stone spear and a stone axe, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen.

"When? When did the Wild Bear tribe learn to sling?" Similar thoughts flashed in Luo Ji's mind, "Is it when I used slingers to suppress the hyenas at the periphery of the forest?"

There was uncertainty in Luo Ji's tone. The sling's structure was indeed simple, but it wasn't something that other barbarians could learn at a glance!

"By the way, the patriarch, the slings in the hands of the Wild Bear tribe's gang don't seem to be the same as those of our tribe." Ye Shan, who looked at Luo Ji who was in deep thought, seemed to think of something, and added quickly.

"Not the same?"

"Yes." Ye Shan nodded, "The slings in their hands seem to be made of bark rope."

There is definitely more than one way to make a sling. In the end, as long as you figure out the principle, you can do whatever you want, and of course bark rope, so the focus is on the difficulty.

The bark rope is also available in their tribe. It was learned by Luo Ji when he went offline and checked the data. It is used to replace the original tree vine. Although the weaving method is not so complicated, it is not something that the indigenous people of ancient times could do at once. Thinking of it, let alone weaving the bark rope into a sling, is even more impossible for a group of natives in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji's eyelids jumped, and he realized it, "When Liu Zheng went to look for the bodies of the invaders, he didn't find any weapons left by them. Looking at the current situation, they were picked up by the Wild Bear tribe. …”

Realizing this, Luo Ji couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, "I'm definitely entering a period of bad luck now."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ji's eyes fell on Ye Shan again, "Anyway, you will stay in the tribe to recover for the past few days. At the same time, I will send someone over to teach you how to use bows and arrows."

Obviously, looking at this development trend, it is estimated that it will not take long for the sling to spread among the barbarians. Although the sling is used to deal with some rough-skinned beasts, the effect will become very poor. When it comes to dealing with people, there is no doubt about its lethality. A single blow is enough to cause bloodshed, and the threat it poses cannot be underestimated. Luo Ji felt that he had to prepare early.

If you want to weaken the threat of the sling, the method is quite simple. The first method is to build a helmet. As long as you protect your fragile head, the blunt attack of the stone bullet will hurt other parts of the body, but it will not hurt. Not too fatal.

The second method is to make shields, shields and armors, which are estimated to be the two most famous armors in the cold weapon era.

However, according to Luo Ji's current situation where one has no metal ores, two has no forging equipment, and three has no forging method, don't expect metal helmets or anything. He can only block one side, and like this, the shield has become the best choice for his current situation.

In the past, shields were not needed at all, so no time and energy was wasted on this matter, but now, with the proliferation of long-range weapons, the demand for shields is obviously going to be greatly increased.

The styles and types of shields are not too much, not too much. As a lover of strategy war games, Luo Ji is naturally familiar with it. After all, this will affect the defense ability and action ability of various arms. , can be divided into three types, large shield, medium shield and small shield...

Small shields generally refer to small round shields, also known as fighting shields. They are very lightweight and small in size. They are suitable for one-on-one one-on-one combat, but they are not suitable for war.

The large shield, commonly known as the door panel, actually looks like a door panel. The size is very large, which seriously affects the mobility. It is suitable for arming heavy armored soldiers and for the advancement of large-scale troops.

After such a simple screening, Luo Ji's next choice was already ready, that is, a medium-sized shield that is not too big or not.

After confirming the choice, there is no need to trouble Ye Xuan, who is studying the three-bow crossbow, to make the medium-sized shield. It is not complicated in itself. As long as you call Liu Shu and the others, and prepare the materials, the work can start. ...

The shape of the entire shield is determined to be a round shield, and the material is made of wood. The main reason is that there is no other choice. The inner side should be equipped with a handle handle, and the outer side should have an arc, which can better unload the force. At the same time, considering the whole The strength of the round wooden shield, and the outer surface is covered with a layer of tough hard leather, which can not only be stronger, but also increase the defense capability to a certain extent.

With Luo Ji's guidance, a simple circular leather shield quickly took shape...

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for successfully creating a 'round leather shield'

Not paying attention to the system prompt that sounded in his mind, Luo Ji gestured with the round leather shield he had made in his hand. Although it was made of wood, considering the defensive capabilities, they deliberately made it up and down the thickness of the shield. It took a lot of work, so it was quite weighty in my hand.

After trying his hand, Luo Ji held the circular leather shield in his hand, and then assumed a stance to resist the attack, "You guys attack me with a stone spear, I want to test the defensive power of this leather shield. ."

As soon as Luo Ji said these words, everyone in the Ordnance Department was startled on the spot. When they saw that one person, they were all very tacit and silent. What are you kidding? That's the leader, who dares? No one dared to test the defensive power of the leather shield.

In the face of this situation, Luo Ji was speechless. Liu Shu and the others had some concerns in his heart, but he didn't brag about it. With the strength of the Ordnance Department, he could easily overthrow several people by himself. indivual.

"Don't bother me, Liu Shu, it's you! Hurry up!"

Liu Shu, whose name was named by Luo Ji, was almost on the verge of tears, "Patriarch, you should take the shield from someone else. If you take the shield, your subordinates won't dare to do anything!"
