Chapter 1656

Little black calls himself a Confucian businessman, which can be seen from his favorite sports. He likes golf, while Qin Shiou likes basketball. As for Billy? This guy likes football, so little black usually calls Billy a barbarian.

Qin Shiou asked little Blake to open a long bow to see how powerful it was. In fact, it was a problem for him.

He himself is a master of bows and arrows. A composite bow is handy for him. In his hand, it is a weapon that is not inferior to firearms.

The modern longbow is even stronger than the composite bow. The maximum range of the arrow cluster it can launch can reach 400 yards, and the initial speed of the arrow can reach more than 60 meters per second, which is equivalent to the bolt falling from the 60th floor, or the stone thrown at the car with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. It is powerful.

In addition, in actual combat, the long bow can penetrate leather, padded armor and fabric at a distance of 240 to 280 yards, or penetrate lock armor. At a distance of 200 yards, it can kill plate armor or fish scale armor to cause penetration. If it is within 100 yards, once it is a frontal hit, even plate armor can't resist!

If it is within 50 meters, the long bow and sharp arrow can be said to be invincible!

According to historical records, during the siege of abergaveny in 1182, the Welsh launched a streamer through a four inch thick oak door. In the same battle, a knight under William Brauss was shot. The arrow ran through his lock armor skirt, leg armor and thigh, and through the inner leg armor and wooden saddle, all the way to the horse's back!

However, high-power weapons need matched strength to use. The English Longbow has a great demand for the quality of archers, so that many modern cold weapon research experts believe that the power of the longbow is exaggerated.

Because if, according to historical records, the longbow is so powerful, the archer's strength is particularly great. Even modern people with abundant nutrition and scientific training can hardly pull off the traditional English war bow in theory, not to mention the British farmers who were in a state of famine at that time?

Billy's salvage work on the pirate shipwreck really explained this. He salvaged some dead bones and said that abnormal changes had been found in the spine and humerus of some bones. Britain was the bone skeleton of archers. At that time, their nutritional intake was not as good as that of modern people, but through pathological training and special training, there was no pressure to open this long bow.

Under the ridicule of Qin Shiou, little black had to take out a long bow to prove his point of view. The bow and arrow was made of superior yew wood. After repeated carbon baking and oiling treatment, and soaking in whale oil all year round, it still remained elastic.

Qin Shiou helped little black put on the bow string, pulled it and tried it, and then exclaimed, "Xuete, it's incredible. This bow and arrow has to be preserved underwater for hundreds of years? Can you open it? Apart from Gou Jian, the king of Yue in our country, I haven't seen such abnormal ancient cold weapons. "

The bow was still elastic, but the bow string was not good. Little black took two deep breaths and showed a solemn look on his face. He picked up the bow in his left hand and put an arrow on the bow string in his right hand, ready to pull it apart.

Qin Shiou went up and pretended to be kind to remind him: "Hey, brother, don't blame me for not saying it in advance. The English war bow is different from other bows and arrows. The most stressed is not the archer, but the archer, that is, your left hand is the most stressed. Don't strain your muscles."

Little black had finally summoned up his archery strength. As soon as Qin Shiou interrupted, he lost all his strength and could only scold and pull back his bow.

He took two deep breaths again, his chest and abdomen muscles tightened, his legs pulled into a horse step, and his right hand tried to hold the arrow feather to prepare to pull back.

At this time, Qin Shiou went up again and said, "be careful, man. Don't empty the string. It's too harmful to the bow - remember, this bow is your British treasure inheritance, and it's also an antique cultural relic weapon."

Finally, his attention was dispersed again. Little black couldn't help scolding his mother: "fake squid, Qin, get away from me! What's the use of such dirty means, you damn guy? I will show you that our war bow is the best bow and arrow in the world! "

Qin Shiou shrugged and stood aside, holding his arm, waiting to see. He knew that little black couldn't shoot a powerful arrow.

Archery is a kind of war. What we pay attention to is to work hard, and then decline three times. Little black will have exhausted his heart failure.

Little black gathered again. As a result, he posed several times and put down his bow and arrow. Billy was impatient and said, "brother, would you please shoot out quickly?"? Are you shooting an arrow or a pipe? I'm faster than you... Xuete, that's not what I mean... "

Qin Shiou looked at him in horror, while little black was angry: "fake squid, you two bastards, I won't let you go!"

While yelling, little black fiercely pulled back the bow string. As a result, he only heard a crisp sound of "Baji", and the antique bow string suddenly broke

Billy was silly now. Qin Shiou was mentally prepared and explained, "it doesn't matter. In the past, the bow string was tanned with sheep intestines or tendons. It hasn't been tenacious for so long. It's normal to pull it apart and break it."

Indeed, the bow string has no toughness and elasticity. If the normal bow string is strongly pulled off, the bounced bow string may stretch on the face and cause injury, and the broken bow string hangs down like a rope.

After hearing his insipid words, Billy was greatly dissatisfied and shouted, "what is normal? It's an antique, okay? I found such a bow string that you broke it? "

Qin Shiou waved his hand and said, "come on, man, our brother's safety doesn't matter. Isn't it more important? The bowstring is only broken, not lost. Just stick it with rosin glue. "

Billy muttered, "I hope I can sell this longbow and this suit of armor to anyone. It's absolutely worth millions. The bowstring can't be broken. If you lose any one, the value will drop a lot."

Put away the long bow, Qin Shiou smiled at little black and said, "is this the first English war bow in the world? I don't think so. "

Little black was so angry that he said, "when you change a new bow string, I must show you the power of our war bow. This is not a joke, okay? Brother, I'm not joking! "

Billy's salvage team continued to work. From time to time, whale oil barrels were pulled out of the water and immediately sent into the cabin. Special personnel began to clean whale oil in a vacuum environment to show the precious antiques inside.
