Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 88 Bow and Arrow Manufacturing (Second update for subscription)

In Longchao Village at this time, apart from the tall government affairs hall with brick and tile structure in the center, the goblins are also busy rebuilding and remodeling the surrounding wood and grass structure houses.

This reconstruction plan has been going on since the destruction of the centaur tribe in Austin. Of course, it can only be carried out slowly, and even many of them are gradually modified on the original wood and grass houses.

It’s just that, except for the government affairs hall in the center, some of the other houses look like a mixture of brick, wood and grass. This simple and rough alien style makes Austin always feel something else.

It's just that after the reconstruction, each house has a reasonable layout, and under the condition of mixed bricks and stones, it can also face the fire to a certain extent. Austin can only admit it with his nose pinched.

In fact, Austin’s ideal Dragon’s Nest Village is best to have the same roof tile structure in the south of the Yangtze River in his previous life, but for the time being, the current human scale of the Dragon’s Nest Tribe can only achieve this level, and the reason why you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, Austin I still understand.

After all, now that the Dragon Nest Tribe is newly established, it is impossible to spend too much precious manpower on the aspect of living.

The goblin's manufacturing workshop is not far from the square. In fact, it is a workshop, but it is a primitive construction site for the production of wooden spears, stone tools and other objects needed by the tribe. It is just that the top of the construction site is covered with a larger shed for sun and rain. Just top.

On both sides of the workshop, there is a large amount of wood, which is the raw material for making various tools.

In the entire workshop, the ground is also full of broken debris, basically all kinds of leftovers from manufacturing. When these leftovers accumulate a lot, they will be moved to the kitchen for fire, or moved to the mushroom house to promote growth. mushroom.

In the middle of the roof, there is a huge flattened stone, on which are piled various rough manufacturing tools made by goblins, such as stone axes, stone chisels, millstones, grinding discs and so on.

At this moment, Austin and a group of goblins were gathering in the corner of the manufacturing workshop, picked up a bent bow arm, and broke it hard.

"Your Highness, according to the account of those centaurs, the oak they used for the arms of their bows has to be dried in the shade for a year, and they have to go through various procedures. There is no way to make longbows in a short period of time."

A goblin with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes chattered at the side, saying that his name is Gulu, and he was an early member of the Dragon Nest tribe. Because of his high ideological awareness, management and operation, and certain skills, he became a member of the Dragon Nest tribe. Manager of the manufacturing plant.

"However, arrow branches can be manufactured relatively quickly. Because of the need to manufacture a large number of wooden spears, we have developed a very, very complicated grinding wheel tool. By changing the size of the groove of the grinding wheel tool, the speed of making arrow branches has been greatly improved. Big improvement."

Goblin Gulu showed Austin the very, very complicated grinding wheel tool as if showing off a treasure while talking. It is said that the goblins had to die a lot of brain cells to come up with the tool.

It’s just that when Austin saw the grinding wheel, his eyelids twitched visibly. It was very, very complicated. It was nothing more than a granite stone the size of the main washbasin, with a hole drilled in the middle, and supported by a very hard ironwood shaft. By shaking the rocking wheels made of wood on both sides to turn the rock, and then grinding the tip of the wooden spear.

But although it looks simple, it is basically impossible for Austin to imagine it. This requires the tools that the goblins came up with in a flash of inspiration after repeated long hours of labor.

Of course, this grinding wheel tool is very rough, and it is very tiring to use the arm to add power to it first, and the transmission method is too primitive and backward. At the same time, the supporting shaft is also very easy to wear, and it will need to be replaced in a few days.

But after all, this is something that the goblins really created with their own wisdom, not a substitute for the previous world that was copied according to Austin's description.

With a beginning, the future is always good.

After seeing this primitive grinding tool, Austin immediately thought of changing the transmission mode to gear transmission, stepping on it with human feet, or going a step further, using a water wheel to drive it.

However, this material is a problem.

Just as Austin was thinking, the goblin Gulu beside him couldn't stop saying triumphantly:

"With this grinding wheel, we could only make one wooden spear before, but now it has increased to more than three. The arrow branches used by centaurs are just smaller wooden spears. According to those centaurs, they made one Arrows require one person to spend more than half a day, but after we change the grinding wheel, the speed of making arrow branches is much faster, and we can make at least twenty arrows a day."

The arrow branches used by centaurs are not simple things, because there is no iron as arrows, and all kinds of animals in this world are basically rough and thick. Simple wooden arrows and bamboo arrows cannot penetrate the defenses of their prey, so half The arrows of the bows and arrows used by the centaurs cannot be made casually.

The material used to make arrow branches is a kind of tree called arrowwood by centaurs. This kind of tree grows in rocky wasteland. It is as big as a toe and grows straight, but it is almost the same as iron in terms of weight and texture. Yes, the end of this kind of tree near the root system is in the shape of a protruding bud. After grinding into a sharp arrow, the whole trunk becomes a qualified arrow branch.

The lethality of this kind of arrow branch is almost the same as that of a sharp arrow made of steel. This is one of the reasons why the dragon nest orcs attacked the centaur tribe and suffered heavy damage.

It's just that although this kind of arrow branch is powerful, it is very difficult to manufacture due to its steel-like texture. For centaurs, basically every arrow is almost an heirloom-like tool.

It is precisely because of this that centaurs seldom use bows and arrows when fighting against the enemy. Part of it is their arrogance, and part of it is expensive.

But now, the goblins have accelerated the grinding process through grinding wheel tools, which has greatly increased the speed of making arrow branches, which can be said to be ten times or twenty times faster than the speed at which centaurs make arrow branches.

"Very good, I have an idea. I'm glad that you have learned to think independently. Who came up with this idea? Credit him."

As for the goblin who invented and created this tool, Austin naturally couldn't ignore it. The knowledge of the past life is limited after all, and the future road needs the family members to cross the river by feeling the stones and lay down a new road.

And now, the goblins are clearly doing a good job.
