Chapter 15 The Boy Who Sells Matches
The so-called debugging is actually very important, at least based on the shallow experience of Tang Yizhou.
The most important reason here is the lack of standards.
The offender crossbow made by laymen is strange if it has standards, especially when Tang Yizhou himself is not sure how powerful he is.
The first step in debugging is to tie the already made crossbow strings to the crossbow arm. This step alone is very skillful and knowledgeable.
The length of the crossbow string determines the distance to pull, the size of the work done by the crossbow arm, and the service life of the crossbow arm and the crossbow string.
But since there is no standard, it can only be tested again and again.
The test method is to sit and wind the strings. Tang Yizhou's feet were pedaled on both sides of the crossbow arms, with a crossbow machine in the middle. He wore gloves on both hands and slowly used force to pull the crossbow string apart bit by bit.
He was highly vigilant in this process and tried his best to slow down, for fear that the crossbow string would be broken.
A minute later, he pulled the crossbow string twenty centimeters apart, and the arms made of four bow boards were slightly bent. At this time, he slowly loosened because the general situation was clear.
Tang Yizhou only used about 70% of his strength, and overall he could still draw the bow. He can now use only 50% of his strength to open the No. 1 crossbow, so No. 2 crossbow is actually very strong, but he doesn't know how strong it is and how much data it is.
Next, Tang Yizhou measured the position of the machine-covered hole again, unbuttoned the crossbow string, increased the available length by five centimeters, and then tested again until it could use 70% of the force to pull the crossbow string to thirty centimeters. If you continue to pull, stop when you need to increase the strength, slowly loosen, unbuttoned the crossbow string, and increased the available length by five centimeters.
This time the crossbow string can be stretched to forty centimeters with 70% of its power.
Finally he tested it again until he could pull the crossbow string into the machine bracket hole with 70% of his strength and hang it on the safety teeth. He waited for an hour without any crossbow string breaking. This step of the test was completed.
Tang Yizhou loosened the crossbow string again, untied it, shortened the crossbow string by two centimeters, and tied it up again. In this way, it took about 80% of his strength to pull the crossbow string to the position of the mechanical cover hole, which was also the ideal result in his mind.
The above process is called debugging.
Because the working distance of the crossbow arm is not as long as possible, we must also consider the bearing capacity of the crossbow arm and the upper limit of the crossbow string, which has a lot to do with the length of the crossbow string.
In short, 80% of his strength is now very cruel.
According to Tang Yizhou's estimate, if this number two crossbow was used to hit the big black pig, the crossbow arrow would not be as simple as forty centimeters inside, and might have a transparent blood hole in front and back.
"Boom!"
The debugging of the No. 2 crossbow was too selfless. When the thunder sounded in the sky, Tang Yizhou realized that it was already dark clouds. Without saying a word, he first untied the crossbow string for the No. 2 crossbow, and then transferred the power in the generator set. He ran back to the temporary camp. After a rush, he tied a rope to the trolley and covered it with rainproof cloth. The heavy rain had already fallen down.
Between the world, only Tang Yizhou was left holding a small sun umbrella and huddled there, like a little match boy...
The heavy rain lasted for more than an hour, and there were several minutes of hail in the middle. The hail was not heavy and did not cause much damage to Tang Yizhou. It was just that the leaves of the corn were knocked down, which sounded a wake-up call for him. It is now summer, with heavy rain, strong winds and hail. If there is a huge hail one day, then the cornfield he relies on for survival would be finished. Where will he hide at that time?
"We must take the initiative!"
"Or, take back the farm safe house!"
Tang Yizhou, who had the No. 2 crossbow, had a much greater confidence and gradually formed a counterattack plan in his heart, but before that, he needed more crossbow arrows.
At present, he has two crossbow arrows cut with steel bars. After further cutting and grinding, they have met the launch requirements of crossbow No. 2, but this is far from enough. After hesitating for a long time, Tang Yizhou chose to dismantle crossbow No. 1 and crossbow arrows. If they are melted and cast, it would be too wasteful and it will take more time. It is better to directly use ready-made steel bars.
After all, the number one crossbow is too primitive, so it is better to build the number three crossbow directly.
With a purpose, Tang Yizhou only sent the generator set to the southwest corner of the cornfield to charge in the past half afternoon. He specially dismantled the No. 1 crossbow. Now his power is sufficient. Even after the attempt just now, if his own power is full, the power can still be stored in the generator set, which is comfortable.
In just one hour, the No. 1 crossbow became history. There were 24 steel bars obtained from dismantling, which were cut into two pieces two meters long before. Now I took them over and cut them into fifty centimeters, cut them further, and even welded arrows, etc., so I got forty-eight crossbow arrows.
It is worth mentioning that he had not had time to test the crossbow No. 2, so the length of the crossbow arrow must be 50 cm, so as to leave room as possible.
I was busy until the sun set, and all the crossbows were cut and welded, and the total power consumption reached forty grids. However, because there was a generator set, his real-time power was still forty grids. This feeling of realizing initial financial freedom is really good.
From now on, please call me, Xiao Tang rich man...
After nightfall, Tang Yizhou went to the river several times, transported a large amount of silt back, and started the production of the No. 3 crossbow mold. According to his current progress, if the weather is beautiful and it will not rain anymore, at most tomorrow night, with experience in making crossbow No. 2, his No. 3 crossbow can be successfully built, at the cost of the fur coat that he is very rare...
——
The sun is bright in the morning and the sky is cloudless. This is Tang Yizhou’s favorite weather at present.
The mountains on the east are undulating and very quiet, but what is hidden in the silence is a great danger.
When he was four or five meters away from the edge of the cornfield, Tang Yizhou lay down and slowly moved forward. The edge of the farmland was covered with knee-high weeds, which provided him with excellent cover and did not delay the exposure of the sun. His only weakness was that he was easily discovered from high altitudes.
Moving to the weeds from nearby, he began to be busy. He first cut some weeds evenly from the dense weeds, tied them up and wrapped them on some small branches, and then hid the generator set in a series. In this way, it would not delay the sunlight from generating electricity, but could also disguise it to the greatest extent.
After dealing with all this, Tang Yizhou slowly retreated. After observing the mountains to the east for a while, he returned to the temporary camp and started the enhanced cutting. He cut three steel blocks from the mechanical torso of the big black pig, which consumed 33 grids and eight grids of real-time power balance.
Then he covered all his supplies and took the No. 2 crossbow to the north of the cornfield. The grove here had become his temporary shooting range.
After arriving at the shooting range, Tang Yizhou was not busy doing things, but put on a gay suit and found a place that could shine into the sun. At the same time, he patiently observed the farm in the west. There were two mechanical black birds guarding the house. In the past few days, these mechanical black birds have been very awesome. Some are specializing in hunting, and some are guarding the house. Every evening and dusk, they can bring back some metal creatures.
The day before yesterday was a car's hood, but yesterday it was actually a railway track that was more than 20 meters long. It was so awesome. The scene of more than 40 mechanical black birds working together to grab the railway tracks made Tang Yizhou feel frustrated now.
In fact, he was very surprised. Since the wings of these mechanical black birds can automatically recharge their charge, why are they still so diligent? Is it really related to the degree of mechanization of their bodies?
The more steel you eat, the higher the level of mechanization of the body?
Even the more powerful the steel creatures that feed, the more powerful the mechanization ability, such as the mechanical crow that splits from the shoulders of the mechanical ape.
For a moment, Tang Yizhou's heart was filled with haze because he suddenly thought of a possibility.
The reason why the mechanical apes in the mountains to the east is so quiet is that they are eating steel and waiting for evolution. He really can't imagine how terrible it would be if the mechanical ape evolved into a mecha ape!
