What should I do if I accidentally come to the ancient times?

Zhao Hao shook his head, and said helplessly, "A strong bow of forty to fifty thousand catties, how could we have the strength to shoot so many arrows?"

Hearing this, Great Elder Nanhua said excitedly, "You don't have the strength. We have a strong bow of [-] to [-] jin. It shouldn't be a problem for me to shoot twenty arrows. There are also eight elders who can shoot five arrows each. It is definitely not a problem for the arrows to go out, if we take turns to shoot arrows and take turns to rest, let alone a hundred arrows, two hundred arrows can be shot!"

Yup!

Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but excitedly said: "Doesn't this mean that we only need to make more strong bows, surround the divine beast White Tiger, and kill it with one shot?"

Great Elder Nanhua nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, as long as you can make nine more strong bows weighing [-] to [-] jin, we will be able to shoot the divine beast white tiger nine out of ten. By the way, do you have so many materials? Strong Bows don’t seem to be that easy to make, and I tried, but I couldn’t find a suitable material.”

The material is easy to talk about!

There is no shortage of materials for the bow body, because the bow body is twisted with iron wood, and there are plenty of iron wood in the Western Qin Dynasty.

As for the material of the bowstring, it is indeed difficult to find, but it is not impossible to find it.

Zhao Hao just thought about it for a while and came up with a material that can mass-produce bowstrings.

This material is Kui leather.

After Kui's cowhide was dried in the sun, it was almost like an iron plate, and he couldn't tear it apart with his strength, so it must be no problem to use it to make bowstrings.

This item doesn't seem to be available in other places in Nanhua, but he has several in his hand.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "No problem, let alone nine, I can make ninety. I have plenty of materials."

Great Elder Nanhua was quite surprised and said: "Oh, what material are you going to use? I'm talking about bow strings. I know iron wood is fine for the bow body."

Zhao Hao explained: "It's Kui cowhide. The toughness of Kui cowhide is definitely enough. As long as I find a way to soften it, then cut it into long strips that are as thick as a finger, and then combine several strands and twist them together to dry in the sun. There is absolutely no problem in making bowstrings.”

Kui cowhide!

Great Elder Nanhua really didn't have this thing, he thought for a while, then nodded and said: "If you think there is no problem, then go back and make bows and arrows quickly, I will send the Eight Great Elders to come to help you."

Zhao Hao nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"

The problem of hunting divine beasts was solved, and everyone was overjoyed. At this moment, they all wished to put on their wings and fly back to Nanhua.

Of course they don't have wings, but when they go back, their speed is indeed much faster than when they came.

Because most of their carriages have been sent out at this moment, and the extra horses have almost been given away, and the supplies they carry are even more consumed. In addition, they are eager to go home. This way, their speed is faster. More than double.

Chapter 302

In Zhennanbao, the largest blacksmith shop, Zhao Hao was staring at the pieces of Kui cowhide in a daze.

This thing is simply too hard. It is no problem to cut a small piece with magic weapons, but it is quite difficult to cut it into uniform long strips. He tried several times without success.

If you don't soften this thing, you really can't make a bowstring.

The problem is that he has tried almost everything he can, water, milk, goat's milk, kumiss, etc., as long as he has tried all the solutions he can find, the kui cowhide can't be soaked soft.

How to do it?

Right now, he really has a headache.

When he was in a daze, there was a sudden sound of "呵" next to him, and then there was a flash of fire, illuminating the entire blacksmith shop.

What's going on, is the blacksmith shop on fire?

Of course not, this is Niu San who is quenching the weapon.

Now, Haotian Ling's forging technology is not generally developed. Under Zhao Hao's leadership, they have almost reached the peak level of the ancient times.

For example, they have researched many kinds of quenching methods.

The weapons are quenched with butter.

The weapons quenched with butter are not only extremely sharp, not easy to rust, but also have exquisite patterns, which are sought-after wherever they go.

Zhao Hao turned his head to look at the "Flame Knife" in Niu San's hand, and couldn't help but feel moved.

Soaking this kui cowhide in butter may soften it.

Because the hardening of cowhide not only loses moisture, but also the oil inside is almost dry. Water solvents cannot penetrate, but oil may penetrate.

This book is organized and produced by the public account.Pay attention to VX [Book Friends Base Camp], read books and receive cash red envelopes!

Thinking of this, he picked up a piece of Kui cowhide without hesitation, walked over, and threw it into the butter that had just melted due to the high temperature.

At this moment, the weather had started to turn cold, and the butter quickly turned into a viscous liquid. The small piece of Kui cowhide was embedded in the butter and disappeared, but Zhao Hao was not in a hurry.

You know, when he soaked the Kui cowhide with water, milk, goat's milk, kumiss, etc., it took more than half a day to soak, and the butter naturally had to be soaked longer.

After about an hour, he reached into the butter and fished out the Kui cowhide.

At this time, Kui's cowhide was really soft. Although it was not as soft as when it was fresh, it was not as hard as an iron plate. At least, it could be bent with a little force.

This proves that butter can really soften Kui cowhide!

Zhao Hao twisted the Kui cowhide in his hand for a while, then shouted excitedly: "Niu San, get a big bucket of butter."

This!

Niu San on the side couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Butter is not milk. As for milk, it is no problem for the elder to ask for a few barrels, because milk is easy to produce, as long as a group of cows are raised and milked.

It's not easy to produce this kind of butter, even a cow can't fry much.

Fortunately, this is Zhennan Fort, and Haotian sent almost all the valuable goods here, otherwise, he really couldn't get a big barrel of butter.

He just froze for a moment, then raised his hand to beckon a few blacksmiths to collect a large barrel of butter from other blacksmith shops.

Not long after, several blacksmiths came over carrying a large barrel of butter, and at this time, Zhao Hao also brought a piece of Kui cowhide.

How do you soak this hard, iron-like Kui cowhide?

You know, a piece of Kui cowhide is nearly ten meters long and wide, let alone a big bucket, even the largest pot can't be stuffed in it, because this thing is so hard that it can't be bent, let alone kneaded into a ball.

The reason why Zhao Hao asked someone to bring a large bucket of butter over was naturally because he thought of a way.

He directly put the big barrel on the coal fire, and after the butter inside completely melted, he poured all the butter on the Kui cowhide.

If it were a bucket of water, it would probably flow to the ground soon, but the butter would not, because the flow of butter was not as fast as it solidified.

When a bucket of butter was poured down, it had not completely spread on the Kui cowhide, but it had already started to solidify and could no longer flow.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao quickly took out a brush, and evenly brushed the butter all over the whole piece of Kui cowhide.
