Chapter 72 Jingyuan and Leaf Spring Heavy Crossbow

This busy work lasts all day.

He placed the H-shaped steel in an "I" shape, placed the leaf spring crossbow arm on the steel wall, outlined the outline with a black marker, and planned to drill 8 pairs of holes evenly along the lines, that is, 16 holes.

This was a very time-consuming job. Every time he drilled a hole, he spent nearly 20 minutes hammering, and dozens of nails were broken.

He worked non-stop from two o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already set before he successfully completed the drilling work. During this period, his physical strength was exhausted rapidly, and he often felt hungry.

He quickly ate up the boiled white rice, and at the same time, he discovered something. When he exercised strenuously, a white mist similar to transpiration would appear on the surface of his skin.

It can only be seen clearly during periods of strong sunlight, so it is not very obvious.

In this state, the body is like a heated engine, lubricated and powerful.

Speaking of which, he said before that he wanted to measure his height and weight, and wanted to see if his weight and height would change after eating.

He has no desire to urinate, and has never excreted so far, so he has always been curious about where the food he ate went.

A large mammal must excrete feces, which are indigestible food residues.

These food residues will be used by bacteria and fungi, and eventually decomposed into inorganic substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and carbon dioxide. The inorganic substances will then be absorbed by plants and converted into organic matter again, thus recycling materials.

Although it still has the shape of a human, from a biological point of view, it can't be considered a mammal.

Now, he is obviously in a state of symbiosis with mold. Even the blood flowing in his blood vessels is no longer blood, but some kind of unknown black viscous liquid mixed with mold.

Therefore, there are several possibilities for where the food went. First, the metabolic ability of these molds was extremely abnormal, and almost everything he ate was digested, and a very small amount of waste was excreted through his skin.

Second, he is now more like a fungus or plant. In addition to being decomposed into the energy and materials needed for his daily activities, those organic matter have become part of his body, and he is circulating materials in his body.

In the future, he may be like a sapling, growing up slowly and gaining weight.

These conjectures cannot be proven by clear evidence for the time being, but he can make some corresponding inferences through changes in weight and height, which will help him understand himself, further help him eliminate the bloodthirsty thoughts, and regain his

Lost sense of taste.

He couldn't find a scale to measure his weight, so he couldn't measure it for the time being, but his height was relatively easy to measure.

Now that I thought of it, I just made a note of it.

Putting his back against the wall, he straightened his waist, put his feet together, and then put a marker against the back of his head to draw a line.

From now on, if you measure at this position every once in a while, you can easily see if there is any change in your height.

When you are looking for supplies after measuring your weight, pay more attention to the scale. In such a big village, there are always people raising pigs, so it is impossible that there is not even a scale.

After this episode, he turned on a powerful flashlight, pointed it at the ceiling, and illuminated the room.

It's completely dark, so I have to turn on the lights.

But at the same time, he closed all the curtains to try to prevent the beam from leaking out.

After seeing those weaver sparrows, he understood that in this world, there were many, many mutant creatures that he didn't know about, and many of them would actively wander outside, and they might have phototaxis.

Like a moth, if you see a light on in his house, you might come to him.

He added another item to his home renovation plan, which was to add a layer of barrier to the doors and windows, preferably an iron door that can be pulled like a rolling shutter door. In the future, when using lights at night, the house should be kept in a completely closed state.

It's like a fortress.

There are also soundproofing measures. You must learn to hide yourself and try to avoid attracting the attention of unknown mutated creatures.

There is a lot of work to be done.

He took a short rest, looked at the heavy crossbow drawings he drew by hand, and ate some rice to relieve his hunger.

After losing sunlight, he could clearly feel that his vitality had dropped and fatigue was slowly creeping in.

During the process of drilling holes in the H-shaped steel, his hands were scratched, and the high-intensity exercise overloaded the muscles. When he raised his hands, he would tremble involuntarily.

But there wasn't much time left, so he lay on the sofa for a while, listened to two songs, sat up again, and continued working.

Place the leaf spring crossbow arm horizontally in the gap between the eight pairs of holes, use a metal recess to hoop the crossbow body, then insert the bolt into the hole and tighten the nut on the other side.

The leaf spring was firmly fixed on the H-shaped steel. He tried the weight and found that it was quite heavy.

According to the material handover form he picked up at the construction site, the theoretical weight of this 2-meter-long H-shaped steel is about 76 kilograms, which is 152 kilograms. In addition, this piece weighs more than one meter long, which is about 120 kilograms.

The leaf spring weighs almost 300 pounds.

The 300-pound big guy looked extremely rough and violent because of its rough processing. It looked like a murder weapon. The rust seemed to be corroded by dried blood. He could only hold it up and walk.

He looked at the shortcomings and thought that he would need to add an arrow path to fix the arrow, and finally an iron rod for clamping the main crossbow string.

The arrow path is simple. He found a plastic water pipe that was thinner than the arrow exit, stuffed it through the arrow exit, cut it from the top, and turned it into a U-shaped groove. He just tied it with snake tendons to fix it.

, and add one or two nails later.

As for the crossbow machine, holes had to be made in the upper steel plate placed in a "work" pattern, one on each side. He planned to use a "Π" shaped iron frame to make the crossbow machine.

When the iron frame is not launched, the iron frame is stuck in the steel plate. The arrow passes through the gap and presses against the bottom of the string. The string is also stuck on the frame. When you need to launch, just hold the handle with force.

Pull out the shelf.

The two iron rods of the frame do not need to be too long. You can add two outward nails on a small section below it, like a person holding a horizontal bar with his hands. Make sure the upper half is outside to hold the snake tendon.

.

The quality of this thing must not be bad, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the tensile force and twist.

You may need to make two large holes and stuff them with solid thick steel pipes.

After the plan was completed, he started looking for suitable materials. He remembered that he dismantled a section of railing at the high-speed rail station and came back. This one was pretty good and the shape was very suitable. He stuffed a few thick steel bars into the hollow railing and stuffed it.

Got to be full.

He was busy until 11 o'clock in the evening, and with all the fatigue, he finally made the leaf spring heavy crossbow!

Purely handmade, God knows how tired he is.

But everything is worth it, this solution can work, it can.

When he held such faith and worked hard, he actually felt like crying.

Those boring, tedious and repetitive tasks will inevitably make him feel irritable and depressed. He is always thinking about those dangerous sparrows, which makes him feel uneasy.

He didn't know if his theory was correct, but now that the finished product was in front of him, it was not false.

All the hard work and hard work are worth it, so damn worth it!
