I Am a Chief in a Primitive Tribe

Chapter 655: Combat weapon in the plains

What Mu Feng suddenly remembered was related to the Profound Snake Department.

Besieged by giant pythons in the Xuan Snake Department fell into a hard fight and almost suffered a heavy loss.

On the way back, he pondered this question repeatedly and found that from the Kui Beast Department to the Xuan Snake Department, the settlement of these big tribes is not like the big ginger, black bear, and Lei Ze are all "by the mountain and water" with natural barriers.

These tribes are fine as long as there is a water source nearby, and the surrounding environment is a flat plain.

And how much they dare to settle in this way has something to do with the people in their tribe.

Living in the plains will undoubtedly face attacks from wild beasts, but these large tribes are so strong that they don't care about the intrusion of these wild beasts.

Of course, everything has disadvantages and advantages.

The wide field of vision in the plains also reduces the possibility of other parties wanting to attack and plunder, forcing the tribes who have ideas about them to face head-on.

Except for a few beast masters like Mu Feng who clear the way with wild beasts.

Even so, Mu Feng and the others almost smashed their heads in the Profound Snake Department.

Since this incident, Mu Feng has realized that if he wants to fight westward, terrain will become one of the most important factors affecting the way of fighting and the results.

It is obviously not realistic to make sneak attacks and use the cover of terrain to deploy in a roundabout way.

In order to avoid the situation of the last time, he needs a longer range, more destructive, and more lethal weapon!

With reference to the tribal construction of the Kui Beast Department and the Black Snake Department, the most effective weapon is the catapult.

The technical difficulty of making a catapult is not a problem for Mufeng, and what needs to be solved is nothing more than a winch that provides elasticity and a pallet for the catapult.

But how to transport the catapult to these tribes is a big problem.

In addition, the protective walls of these tribes are not so reliable, and the laborious transportation of catapults was really overkill in the past.

He had to give up under the balance.

Since the catapult is not good, then he can only think of other ways.

Suitable weapons include spear throwers and rockets.

These weapons are simple to make and easy to carry, and they are perfect for dealing with tribes like Kui Beast and Xuan Snake.

The spear thrower is the easiest to make. It only requires a long and narrow stick to make the top brace according to the length of the spear. A small hole slightly thicker than the top brace is drilled at the end of the spear.

Then the small hole of the spear tail is stuck on the top support, and the handle of the spear thrower is held upside down in one hand, aiming at the target and throwing it out forcefully.

The precision of the spear thrower cannot be compared with the bow and arrow, but once it is hit, the lethality is incomparable to the bow and arrow.

Therefore, large-scale coverage is the best for the use of spear throwers.

If it was placed in the past, the number of Jiang warriors was relatively small. When the two battles were really due, if they used the spear thrower, the effect would definitely not be much better.

But today is not what it used to be. The number of fighters in Dajiang and the understanding and use of weapons can definitely maximize the power of the spear thrower!

As for the rocket, it's even simpler. You only need to tie flammable, long-lasting, and windproof fuel to the body of the arrow.

Now the oil he has on hand is some animal fat that needs to be preheated and ignited. Although it burns considerably, it is very poor in wind resistance. Once it is tied to the arrow and shot out, the fire is extinguished before the arrow hits the ground. .

So he needs to go for a more windproof fuel-alcohol or vegetable oil!

The wine in his hand is only thirty or forty degrees, and it needs further purification to reach the burning degree. Not to mention a waste of time, and a waste of food, he decisively gave up.

Then the only choice of fuel is vegetable oil!

Fortunately, **** now has many oil crops: soybeans, peanuts and tung oil!

These three things are crops with high oil yield, and the most economical and most suitable one is tung oil.

These tung oil fruits are exactly the tung oil trees that he had planted from Dalong Mountain before, and now they have harvested a large number of tung oil trees in autumn.

No one knows what to do with it all the time, just put it in the "warehouse".

After Mu Feng made up his mind, watching the sky was still dark, he hurried to find Mochizuki and Lihu, and asked them to assign a few craftsmen responsible for woodworking and stone carving to himself.

He first taught two people how to make a spear thrower, and then took another group of people to choose the materials needed to make tung oil-he had to make all of these two things before setting off, so as not to attack the Goshawk. Use it when you are!

In addition to oil refining, there is also the "equipment" for making oil.

There are probably two methods for refining vegetable oil, one is the pressing method, and the other is the water generation method.

Squeezing is the simplest and most direct way to squeeze oil crops by gravity, which is fast but has a low oil yield.

The water substitution method can be roughly classified as the traditional method of making sesame oil, which requires a series of processes such as rinsing, drying, roasting, mixing with water, and bleaching, which is time-consuming and laborious, but the oil yield is high.

Mufeng originally didn't plan to use tung oil as food, so he didn't feel it wasted, so he directly chose to crush and squeeze the tung oil fruit to refine the oil.

But even so, he can't waste tung oil at will.

So he is going to make a "high-power" "squeezer"!

The "power" of the press depends on the pressure-that is, the weight of the pressed material.

This can not be troubled by Mu Feng.

There are ready-made stones in Dajiang, as well as lead blocks left over from copper and iron smelting for a long time!

All he needs to do is to make a copper-clad lead or iron-clad lead heavy press—this is not difficult.

Then make a pressure oil groove under the heavy pressure plate.

The hard part is what can be used to lift such a heavy weight plate!

Looking at the entire tribe, there are very few who have such strength, even the King of Li is out of breath after trying twice, let alone others.

Mu Feng secretly thought about how to solve the problem of lifting heavy objects.

Only manpower is not enough, so you need to make a winch that can lift heavy objects.

The principle of the winch is very simple, similar to the bucket of a well.

He only needs to make winches and ropes.

In this way, things become simple.

Because the wood wind needs to be used urgently, thick ropes are used temporarily, and iron chains will be used later to make thicker and heavier weight plates.

In this way, when the crushed tung oil was put into the oil pressure tank and the yellowed tung oil was pressed out, everyone present was shocked.

Especially after Mu Feng lit a fire on it, the bright yellow liquid started to catch fire, which made them speechless...

Therefore, at Mufeng’s urging and Mochizuki’s additional manpower to rush the system overnight, by the morning of the next morning, more than two hundred spear throwers were made. In addition to the special group of bamboo spears, four to five hundred were made with tung oil. It also squeezed out no less than ten kilograms-although it was less, it was enough.

And it just so happened that he also wanted to send this gang of "brothers" back to the tribe, heading west again!
