Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth competition ranking
Bi Fang was swinging in the forest carrying a spear, and the animal tooth necklace around his neck made a metallic sound when it collided.
He scratched his slightly raised hair, looked listless, opened his mouth wide, and yawned deeply.
I didn't go back until early in the morning yesterday, and started the live broadcast at 8:30 this morning. I worked hard and didn't sleep for six hours, so I felt a little sleepy.
[Ichao, did Lao Fang secretly reward himself during the holiday yesterday? 】
【Be in moderation!】
[I heard that there are regular custom shops in Japan (funny)]
[Old Fang is young and powerful, so he must have failed to control himself]
[Jingfang: I just hunted a bear and I’m very angry]
"Ahem."
Bi Fang clenched his fists and coughed, took out his water bottle and drank some water. After taking a few deep breaths, he regained his spirits and recovered quickly.
It’s really hard to be Batman, I don’t even have enough rest time, and I can’t even get up in the morning.
"When I woke up this morning, I looked at the rankings and found that I had fallen behind to third place. It seems that everyone else is working hard."
The top one is currently a duo composed of ghost hunters. Although they didn't make much gains in the past few days, the latecomers came on top and successfully used traps and swords to successfully hunt three heads in three days.
black bear.
The scores of the two are now 13.2 points each, and the scores of the three bears are all around ten.
The second place player is a bit surprising.
It turned out to be an old man from the ugly country named Gary Berson.
Forehead......
It's not quite accurate to say he is old, but he is indeed the oldest among the contestants, at fifty-two years old. Among the group of hunters participating in the competition, his physical fitness is at a considerable disadvantage.
The most important thing is that when Bi Fang learned about this guy's experience, he was a little impressed.
It's really mind-blowing.
Because this old hunter directly assembled a heavy crossbow-like mechanism.
Foul?
Hard to say.
Hunting with heavy crossbows is not allowed on the show because it is too illegal.
The earliest crossbow was born in China more than 2,000 years ago.
A large number of bronze crossbow arrows and bronze parts of crossbows were unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses pit in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
From then on, the power of the crossbow began to show its prowess, and it gradually became the true king of cold weapons.
This was still the case in ancient times, let alone modern times where material science is more developed.
Compared with ancient crossbows, modern crossbows are basically two different things.
Modern crossbows use man-made materials. Crossbows are generally made of carbon fiber and polymer synthetic materials. Compared with past materials such as bamboo, wood or steel, they are lighter in weight, have greater storage capacity, and are far ahead in strength and durability.
.
In particular, modern crossbows also use a pulley system. On the one hand, the design of the eccentric wheel makes winding more labor-saving, and on the other hand, it makes the bow string rebound faster. The muzzle velocity of many crossbows can exceed 100 meters. For traditional crossbows, this is
unimaginable.
Taking the medieval steel crossbow as an example, a crossbow with a pulling force of 740 pounds has an arrow speed of only about 42 meters per second. This is because the crossbow arm material has poor elasticity and cannot be fully pulled, and the acceleration distance of the bow string to the arrow is very small.
short.
Under the action of the pulley system, the arm of a modern crossbow can undergo great deformation and accelerate the arrow over a large distance, so the final speed is much higher.
In addition, at closer ranges, the accuracy of modern crossbows with sniper scopes is not even inferior to that of sniper rifles.
A foreign weapons blogger once demonstrated the shooting accuracy of a modern crossbow at a distance of 25 yards. How high is it?
Almost every arrow hits the target close to the one in front, and the arrows shot from behind hit the arrow hole of the one in front many times.
The overall error is less than the size of a coin. If you use a rifle without a scope, it will be difficult to achieve such accuracy at this distance.
Not to mention arrows. The streamlined production line of modern industry can make almost every arrow exactly the same. In ancient times, it was simply unimaginable. The same means that there is basically no special difference due to the different quality of arrows. error.
There are so many advantages that crossbows still have a place in modern special forces or some armed police forces, both at home and abroad.
In China's armed police, many special forces are equipped with cold weapons such as crossbows.
The reason for choosing it is very simple. When the crossbow is fired, it is completely smokeless, lightless, and makes very little sound. It is a natural silenced weapon.
Of course, compared with firearms, there is still a huge gap. Whether it is power, range or rate of fire, the best crossbow is not as good as an old-fashioned rifle.
Of course, the power of the crossbow is still very impressive. Although the muzzle velocity is only about 100 meters per second, don't forget that the arrow is much heavier than the bullet.
A 24-gram carbon arrow can have a kinetic energy of 120 joules. With a highly lethal hunting arrow, it can easily hunt large animals such as deer and bears, and can penetrate ordinary soft body armor.
No matter how much fat a bear accumulates, its defense cannot be better than a body armor.
Therefore, modern crossbows are absolutely prohibited among contestants. Carrying a modern crossbow is almost the same as carrying a rifle.
It's not just cheating, it's cheating.
The only problem is that this hunter did not carry a crossbow directly, but a complete set of woodworking tools...
Except for some key parts, which require the use of alloy parts due to load-bearing capacity and other reasons, the rest of the entire crossbow machine was planed out bit by bit by him using carpentry tools in the wilderness...
Is this a foul or not?
Not to mention the judges, the audience was stunned.
You say foul, which is not appropriate, because except for some small parts that cannot be loaded by wood, the entire structure surrounding the crossbow was dug out bit by bit by this guy with a plane in the forest.
Otherwise, it is a bunch of small parts and nothing.
You have to call it a foul.
There is no clear rule on how many pounds are considered a heavy crossbow.
The judges tested Berson's crossbow. It can easily penetrate a large tree within twenty steps, and it can penetrate half of it within thirty steps. Its power is amazing, and it is almost the same as a spear.
With modern scientific structure and alloy parts with amazing load-bearing capacity, the crossbow can exert amazing power as long as it has a decent frame.
In the end, the judges still gave Berson a free pass. The audience was very used to this old man and did not rule it against the rules.
After all, Berson clearly stated that he wanted to bring these things in and did not hide them. It was also his ability that he was able to use them to make the crossbow.
It took more than two days to make the entire crossbow. On the third day, Berson used the sharp weapon in his hand and only used ten arrows to hunt a huge black bear nearly 1.7 meters long at night.
Crossbows cause small wounds, but great damage. The black bears hunted are extremely intact.
The score reached 13.1 points in one fell swoop. Boson, who is in his fifties, directly surpassed Bifang's 10.2 points and became the second place among the contestants.
He even earned the title of Bolson the Arbalist.
Although the hunting scenes and excitement, Berson's performance was far from Bifang's, but Berson used experience and methods unique to his age group.
Time has made this old man understand that a strong body will decline sooner or later.
Only wisdom is something that can be used for a lifetime.
When faced with the target he wants to obtain, he will not carry out the most primitive hunting like the brave Bifang and have a hearty battle of blood and fire. Instead, he will hide in the dark and shoot towards the weak points of the prey.
A fatal blow.
[I feel that the judges should have reduced the points, otherwise the first place should be Boson, not those two ghost hunters]
[Lao Fang, Lao Fang, I’ll let you rest. It’s okay now. I’m already in third place! 】
【Stop rewarding yourself, stand up!】
"Okay, okay, I'll try to fight one more today." Bi Fang agreed repeatedly.
The current ranking has changed again after three days of competition.
The Ghost Hunter duo ranked first with 13.2 points.
The crossbowman Old Berson was second with 13.1 points.
Bi Fang, a hunter in the restricted area, was third with 10.2 points.
Naginata Shogun Sato was fourth with 9.8 points.
...
Mulgalun, the deer hunter, was sixth with 9.4 points.
