You should make other people’s lives better because of your existence.──Cibal

Zhang Juncai took out four walkie-talkies. The batteries of the walkie-talkies still have a little power. If the power is exhausted, they will be of no use. You can consider using them to crack walnuts. The walkie-talkies will still be useful in future battles. Li Baoqiang misses training in the army. The multi-functional walkie-talkie used in the mission has a long communication range, is confidential, and also displays a GPS map. But there is currently no electricity, so save it first and consider the construction of electricity next. "Electricity, life without electricity is really difficult." Li Baoqiang muttered, thinking about the problem of power generation.

Seeing that Li Baoqiang was not very interested, Zhang Juncai took out an exquisite modern crossbow. Li Baoqiang's eyes lit up, he snatched it away and looked at it carefully.

Crossbow, also known as "nest bow", "crossbow" and "crossbow" are weapons used for archery in ancient times. It is a bow with an arm, mainly composed of a crossbow arm, a crossbow, a bow string and a crossbow machine. It consists of parts. Although the reloading time of the crossbow is much longer than that of the bow, it has a longer range than the bow, is more lethal, has a higher hit rate, and has lower requirements for the user. It is a powerful long-distance weapon in ancient times. Anti-personnel weapons. The range of strong crossbows can reach 600 meters, and the range of extra-large bed crossbows can reach 1,000 meters. Depending on the method of tensioning the string, it can be divided into arm-tension crossbows, step-tension crossbows, and waist-tension crossbows. There are also several capable Repeating crossbows that shoot volleys or bursts of arrows and bed crossbows equipped with several crossbows.

The development of modern material science has raised the volume, weight and accuracy of crossbows to a higher level. Materials must be selected based on volume, range, weight, shooting accuracy and other requirements. The bow body is generally made of bamboo, wood, spring steel, Alloy steel, carbon fiber composite materials, etc. Strings are made of rice dumplings, hemp ropes, beef tendons, nylon strings, steel wires, etc. Arrow grooves, handles, triggers and string tighteners are made of bamboo, wood, horn, plastic, metal, composite materials, etc. Triggers Both the string tightener and the string tightener are made based on the lever principle. The sights include the original linear groove type and ruler and front sight types, as well as sight scopes and laser dot types.

Li Baoqiang was frustrated. Unfortunately, this crossbow was a children's toy. However, Li Baoqiang suddenly became excited. This toy crossbow was so exquisitely made, including the scope, butt, trigger, grip, bow body, bow string, etc. It’s all available and can be disassembled. Isn’t this the best mold?

Li Baoqiang has been thinking about the weapon problem of the team members. There are too few guns and bullets are running out. In addition to close-range spears, swords, and daggers, Li Baoqiang always wants to find another long-range attack weapon. After all, long-range strikes are the best. To protect himself. He once thought about making bows and arrows, but his experience as a former Marine made him miss the military crossbow he used. It was small and exquisite, had a long range, and was highly accurate. It was often used in special operations.

Li Baoqiang hurriedly went to find Liu Junsheng with the crossbow, without even saying hello to Zhang Juncai. However, Zhang Juncai clenched his fist happily, knowing that he had done Li Baoqiang another big favor.

Liu Junsheng and two blacksmith masters were sweating profusely making spears and swords. When they saw Li Baoqiang walking in, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing. "Let's see, can we imitate them?" Li Baoqiang said excitedly, and Liu Junsheng took it. Holding the crossbow, he studied it carefully for a while, looked around at the equipment around him, thought for a moment and said firmly: "No problem, it's just that the time will be slower and the production of the Miao Dao will be delayed."

"Two masters are making swords and guns, and you and I are making crossbows, a two-pronged approach." Li Baoqiang said without any doubt.

In fact, Li Baoqiang can make bows, arrows and crossbows. When he was a child, he used pencils, rubber cords and ballpoint pens to make crossbows. He also shot a classmate and was beaten by his father. So he had some experience in making crossbows.

Originally, he wanted to make the kind of hardwood crossbow that veteran hunters often make, but it was large and heavy. Being used to the lightness and flexibility of modern military crossbows, he gave up the idea of ​​making an old-fashioned crossbow. In fact, making an old-fashioned crossbow is relatively simple.

.

The structure of the old-fashioned crossbow can be divided into three parts: arm, bow, and machine. The "arm" is generally made of hard wood; the "bow" is transverse to the front of the arm; and the "machine" is installed behind the arm. The most important part of the crossbow

The crossbow machine is generally made of copper and is installed in the "Guo" (box-shaped) of the crossbow. In front of it is the "teeth" (hook) for hanging the string, and behind the "teeth" is connected the "Wangshan" (Wangshan)

The front sight used for aiming); since the Western Han Dynasty, there is a scale engraved on the "Wangshan" of the crossbow, which is equivalent to the rear sight on modern firearms. It is convenient to adjust the angle of the crossbow launch according to the target distance and improve the hit rate of the shot. Below the Tong Guo

There is a "hanging knife" (i.e. trigger), which is used to launch arrows. When the crossbow is fired, first open the string, hold it on the "teeth" of the crossbow machine, install the arrow in the arrow groove on the "arm", and pass it through

After "Wangshan" takes aim, he pulls the "hanging knife" to retract the "teeth" and decouple the string, and uses the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the open bowstring to shoot the arrow out at high speed.

Liu Junsheng thought for a while, rummaged through the warehouse of his small repair shop, then went out to find Zhang Juncai, rummaging through the supplies collected today. After a while, he brought two young technicians back and brought in a lot of equipment at the same time. "This is

The most important material." Liu Junsheng said, holding up a steel plate. "This is spring steel." Liu Junsheng explained.

Spring steel refers to steel specially used for the manufacture of springs and elastic elements due to its elasticity in the quenched and tempered state. The elasticity of steel depends on its ability to elastically deform, that is, its ability to elastically deform within a specified range.

Make it bear a certain load without permanent deformation after the load is removed.

With the key materials available, Li Baoqiang breathed a sigh of relief. After some research, the four of them finally started to make a copycat crossbow. First they took apart the toy crossbow, carefully traced the size of each part, and made a paper pattern. Then Liu Junsheng

Open the acetylene cylinder and oxygen cylinder, adjust the flame, and cut a piece of the bow body under the bright blue flame.

The old-fashioned lathe finally came into play. Without electricity, Liu Junsheng led the young technicians to manually punch, press, turn, lathe, and drill. Finally, the curved bow body was formed. After polishing it, it was almost the same size as the toy crossbow. Li Baoqiang was very happy.

He looked at Liu Junsheng and the two young technicians carefully, "They are all talents. What is most expensive in the new era is talent. Anyone with skills in the apocalypse is a talent." Li Baoqiang is now accustomed to calling the post-apocalyptic era a new era.

The small pulleys and bearings were ready-made, which were found in a small town hardware store; the bowstring was replaced with thin strands of steel wire, the trigger was machined out, and similar substitutes were found for the spring. Li Baoqiang also cut a piece of wood with a knife to complete the project.

Liu Junsheng carefully assembled the butt and handle. After installing the last screw, a small and exquisite crossbow was finally completed. The only shortcoming of the crossbow is that it does not have a sight, but a simple sight is still available, and it is reserved

After knowing the position of the scope, if you have a scope in the future, you can drill holes and fix it directly with screws.

"There are no crossbow arrows." Li Baoqiang looked around the warehouse, and he found a pack of welding rods. The old welding rods, and when he touched them with his hands, the welding slag was so crisp that it fell away. Li Baoqiang used a lathe grindstone to polish a sharp tip, and gently

Put it in the crossbow slot, pull the bow string hard to buckle it, aim at a wooden board in the distance, gently pull the trigger, the crossbow arrow swishes into the wooden board, it is successful.

It was already midnight, and more than ten candles were used in the repair room. Liu Junsheng and others jumped up excitedly. How great is the creativity and passion of people? Laid-off workers and young technicians can actually make a living overnight.

Time to produce such perfect military products.

Li Baoqiang held the hands of Liu Junsheng's masters tightly and said: "Thank you for your hard work. You have saved everyone. With weapons, we will have one more chance of survival." Everyone was very excited and looked at the young villager in front of them.

The leader said, "He can always bring miracles, we are determined to follow him!" Several people decided secretly in their hearts.

With Bentou, the days are always busy and pass quickly.

During the seven days, the crowd was divided again. Zhang Juncai led 30 people to continue collecting supplies. The fat man Wang Zhiming and the thin man each led 10 people to take turns protecting each other and also helping to collect supplies. A group that did not participate in the protection was led by Li Baoqiang.

, training with the spears, Miao knives and daggers that are constantly being made.

Li Baoqiang taught several simple and practical assassination and slashing movements according to the physical condition of the team members. He practiced them over and over again. When the team members saw the weapons with exquisite patterns, their enthusiasm for training continued to rise. After all, there are weapons in the apocalypse.

Learning self-defense skills always gives you a greater chance of survival.

In seven days, Li Baoqiang, Professor Zhao, and He Qun worked together to plan the location of the city wall and moat ditch, and organized the remaining men, women, and children to dig the moat ditch. At the same time, Zhang Juncai also continuously sent supplies from the town, including

There were several trucks of old and new bricks, stones and cement. Li Baoqiang couldn't help feeling that Zhang Juncai had given up his talents and was really wronged for not being a logistics director. Who would have thought that a disabled veteran and a school security guard could have such strong organizational skills.

During the seven days, several master bricklayers also showed their special skills. They carefully and accurately built the city wall brick by stone. This is a life-saving wall. How can we not take it seriously? The inner and outer walls are about 12 meters wide, leaving a gap in the middle.

Zhang Juncai was looking for materials for a three-meter-wide gate opening. The edge of the wall was built to the edge of the cliff. Each wall was one and a half bricks wide. The distance between the two walls was three meters, with a trench dug in between.

The excavated earth and stone and the height of the city wall are increasing day by day, making people's sense of security continue to increase.

In seven days, Liu Junsheng and several masters worked overtime to make 30 Miao knives, 30 special daggers, and 100 spears. The gun shafts were all made of white wax sticks cut from the mountains, which are extremely tough. Crossbows

Ten weapons were also made, each with a quiver containing fifty crossbow arrows made of old welding rods. Liu Junsheng also specially squeezed out a little engine oil from his inventory and carefully oiled each weapon.

During the seven days, the consumption of food was also huge. The villagers had no meat to eat, and their physical strength was high. White rice alone could no longer improve people's physical strength and spirit. The villagers gradually began to suffer from injuries, but they were still in good spirits.

After all, I saw hope.

Seeing that everything was gradually on track, Li Baoqiang decided to lead his team into the mountains to hunt, using hunting as a substitute for training, and at the same time let all the villagers perform tooth-beating rituals.
