Chapter 233 Arrow making
"Himmer~"
Chen Zheng patted his belly and burped it. This feeling of fullness is really so satisfying.
Chen Zheng did not finish the cooked meat of the two. Although Yue Xiaorong's appetite was not as good as Chen Zheng, she was a martial arts practitioner after all, and she ate more than an ordinary woman.
Therefore, when Meng Chujiu prepared two portions of cooked meat, he naturally had more than ordinary two portions of cooked meat.
Chen Zhengman thought that he could finish eating after he let go, but there were still some left.
However, Chen Zheng didn't plan to throw away such good meat. It would be a pity to throw away such good meat. It would be better to eat it as a midnight snack.
After washing his hands, Chen Zheng came to the wooden shed in the yard, and he was about to start work.
What Chen Zheng had to do was to promise Xiao Zan's ten bows and ten crossbows.
The bow and crossbow are really simple for Chen Zheng now. After all, there is a systematic bonus, and it doesn’t take long to complete it and it will be done soon.
Of course, the speed is so fast, first of all, thanks to the blessing of the system, and secondly, it is also very important. On that side, Chen Zheng always makes some wood embryos when he is free.
For example, bow embryos, crossbow embryos, and other semi-finished wooden products. In this way, when you really need them, you can just take them out and process them a little.
Looking at the neatly arranged bows and crossbows, Chen Zheng still felt very accomplished.
Through his super carpenter system, Chen Zheng was able to identify the attribute values brought by these bows and crossbows, which were basically accurate, powerful, and shooting attributes, such as direct hitting the Huanglong.
Chen Zheng didn't care much about this strange attribute value, as long as it did not affect the use of the bow and the crossbow.
After doing all this, Chen Zheng did not plan to rest. His wife was not at home anyway. Instead of staying alone at the window, it would be better to put a good nightlife on hard work.
Chen Zheng planned to make a batch of bows and arrows.
To be honest, although a bow is a good bow, if the arrow is average, its lethality is limited. A good bow is paired with a good arrow, just like a good horse is paired with a saddle, a good woman is paired with a good man.
Originally, Chen Zheng planned to use his own experience to create original bows and arrows. As long as he had the attributes of systematic bonuses, he would be better than the inventory arrows in the Dongyang County Arsenal.
However, when Chen Zheng accidentally scanned the system's Jiangshenku, he actually found a drawing of a bow and arrow, which surprised him very much.
After seeing that the name of the bow and arrow was Qinghai Arrow. It only requires a thousand carpentry experience, Chen Zheng redeemed it without hesitation.
Now Chen Zheng’s carpenter level is level 10. If the experience required for upgrading is astronomical, it will be an astronomical figure. However, accordingly, Chen Zheng has accumulated a lot of experience now.
Therefore, a thousand carpentry experience is a drop in the bucket for Chen Zhenglai’s current book.
Chen Zheng didn't expect that he would have such a arrogant day, and he was immediately a little proud.
After the drawings were redeemed, Chen Zheng looked at them and found that the Qinghai Arrow craft was not difficult and was most suitable for the current situation.
The first thing to do when making bows and arrows is of course to make arrow shafts. Chen Zheng was like other things and prepared a lot of wood before for reserve.
The camphor wood squares that Chen Zheng planned to use to make arrow shafts were camphor wood squares. These squares had been processed long ago, and the length and size of the saw were just right.
Although it is just a simple arrow shaft, although it is not difficult to process, it is very complicated. There are at least five planes used to process arrow shafts.
Fortunately, Chen Zhengzhengsi of the Ministry of Works asked them for a set of carpenter tools, otherwise, the tools in his woodworking workshop would not be enough.
Of course, with Chen Zheng's craftsmanship, ordinary tools can be made even without them.
Chen Zheng first took a V-shaped inner groove and straightened the square material for processing. After each displacement, Chen Zheng turned the arrow shaft once to turn it into a diamond-shaped square material.
Then, Chen Zheng immediately took a U-shaped plane and processed the arrow shaft to make it closer to the round rod, and at the same time made the spindle shape appear on both ends.
This is not over yet. You need to use a semicircular groove flat to trim the arrow shaft, so that the arrow shaft is completely round, and the final diameter of the arrow shaft is determined.
The shape of the spindle just polished must be kept at the center of the arrow shaft.
To do this, this arrow is actually just a rough spindle, not the streamlined shape after completion. It also requires a semicircular trough arc planer for trimming.
The trimming position is about half the center of the arrow shaft, and the changes in the techniques at this time and the direction of turning the arrow shaft are very strict.
Whether a craftsman's skills are good or not, the bows and arrows he makes are all based on this technique change, and this cannot be taught orally. It depends entirely on personal understanding and practice.
If you don’t have enough understanding, practice will make you more successful. This is the reason why practice makes perfect.
After finishing the repair, Chen Zheng was delighted to find that the arrow shaft had already appeared in a very beautiful streamlined shape, and the next step was to deal with the tail of the arrow.
Chen made a small neck closure at the tail of the arrow. Anyone who has shot the arrow knows that the neck closure at the tail is very beneficial and convenient for the index finger to distinguish arrows.
However, this neckline looks simple but is difficult to do. What is needed is a plane with the smallest specification and the largest arc.
Chen Zheng held the arrow shaft with his left hand and turned it a little with his right hand. If it weren't for the talent bonus of the system skillful hand, this process alone would be extremely time-consuming.
After the above processes, the large size of the arrow shaft basically comes out.
At this time, Chen Zheng picked up the semicircular plane just now and repeatedly squeezed, polished, and rounded the outside of the arrow shaft while doing so to increase the density of the outer layer of the arrow shaft and increase the reversal of the arrow shaft.
Then the arrow was cut into the groove. Chen Zheng used a knife made of a saw blade. He first made a small hole along the wood grain with the saw teeth, and then used the blade on the saw blade to open the string groove to the appropriate width.
Then, Chen Zheng dealt with the arrows again.
These arrows were old arrows that he asked him to go to the Dongyang County Armory when he parted with Xiao Zan.
After Xiao Zan went there, he collected the arrows and sent them to the woodworking workshop early. Chen Zheng only needed to use them.
The Qinghai arrow made by Chen Zheng is a tined arrow, so a hole must be punched, but before punching the hole, the arrow part must be strengthened.
Chen Zheng used a kind of outer skin on a shrub branch, and loved it on the head of the arrow shaft.
After the reinforcement is done, holes are started to be drilled. Chen Zheng’s tool is a four-diamond awl.
The depth of the hole is also of particular importance, and it cannot exceed the depth of the arrow pole, and it should be slightly shallow.
