Chapter 25 Experiment
Chapter 25 Experiment
After saying that, Li Mosi stood sideways, raised the javelin high, pushed off with her right foot, and used her whole body to swing her arm.
As his arm was fully extended, he quickly flipped his wrist.
The spear naturally detached from the spear-throwing device, tracing an almost straight line in the air.
sand--
The javelin was completely embedded in the haystack!
"That powerful?"
The old goblin was somewhat surprised.
Zi Yi opened his mouth and looked down at the small wooden stick in his hand.
Only Li Mosi silently stepped forward and pulled the javelin out of the haystack.
This was all expected.
With the addition of a spear thrower, a healthy adult can throw a spear dozens of meters.
This force, when applied to a target about ten meters away, is naturally easy to deal with.
Although he wasn't very skilled, he could still play around with it without any problems.
After confirming that the spear was undamaged, Li Mosi placed it in Zi Yi's hand.
"Do it the way I just did."
"Yes, Master."
Zi Yi nodded in agreement and wedged the hole at the end of the spear into the spike of the spear-throwing device.
He naturally assumed the posture of throwing a spear.
This is easy for goblins who hunt with spears.
However, his grip posture was also problematic.
Li Mosi stepped forward and pried open Zi Yi's fingers: "You're not throwing spears now, so don't grip the spear thrower and spear together. Yes, just grip the spear thrower, and gently hold the spear with two fingers."
"Yes."
Under Li Mosi's guidance, Ziyi quickly corrected his gripping technique.
Li Moss then asked, "Did you notice my last movement?"
Zi Yi thought for a moment: "Master...you mean just like this one last time?"
As he spoke, he imitated Li Mosi's final wrist-flipping motion.
"Good, very observant." Li Mosi nodded. "Remember, you're not throwing things out now, you're using a spear thrower to push the spears out."
"Not throw them out, but push them out?"
Zi Yi nodded after repeating it once.
"I understand, Master."
Remember, not having it isn't just something you say.
Li Mosi let Zi Yi try it out first.
pat-
As Li Mosi expected, under the control of muscle memory, Zi Yi casually threw the spear thrower and spear together.
He did remember the final wrist flip, but due to a fundamental error, the wrist flip turned into a block, slamming the spear thrower and spear to the ground.
The two things combined didn't even fly five meters.
With a tense expression, Zi Yi quickly retrieved the spear thrower and spears.
"Try to forget your spear-throwing memories. Start training again."
After saying a few words, Li Mosi let Zi Yi practice on his own.
The tutorial for using the spear thrower is incredibly simple.
He has nothing to teach.
We'll discuss any major mistakes later.
Li Mosi was about to start making the float when she turned around and found the saint staring at her.
She remained silent, as if she were a surveillance camera.
Following her gaze, Li Mosi saw the spear thrower in her hand.
Li Mosi placed the spear thrower on the stone table, and the saintess's gaze followed it.
Suddenly, the saintess looked up and met Li Mosi's gaze.
"Hmm!"
She realized that the craftsman was teasing her again!
Even if someone is a born saint, this is just too unruly!
And their identities haven't been confirmed yet...
She quickly turned her gaze back to the spear thrower.
After looking at it for a while, the saintess realized that it was just a simple and crudely designed wooden tool.
Natural and harmless.
The feeling she got from the creations of heretical forces like the Gear Heretics was completely different.
But she had never seen this tool before.
He can make entirely new tools without any sense of heresy. Could this craftsman really be a born saint?
After several practices, Ziyi gradually overcame the negative transfer caused by muscle memory.
sand--
This time, he finally succeeded in throwing the stone spear with the spear thrower!
The spear hit the haystack almost in a straight line.
Zi Yi held the spear thrower in front of his eyes and twisted his wrist a few times.
He finally understood why it was "push" instead of "throw".
In that instant, he felt as if the spear thrower had become an extension of his arm, allowing the spear to be thrown even further!
Zi Yi pondered for a moment, then turned and said, "Master, I understand!"
"You've got it?" Li Mosi tugged at the vine at the top of the pole. "If you've got it, try this one next."
Li Mosi picked up the float and began to explain.
"This net is for holding stones. The bottom knot is a dead knot, and the top knot is a slip knot."
As he spoke, he gave Ziyi a simple demonstration of how the float rod works.
This thing has a net bag attached to a stick with two knots at the end furthest from the handle; the near end is a dead knot and the far end is a slip knot.
It looks like a sling with a wooden stick attached.
Simply swing it vertically, and the slipknot will automatically loosen.
The stone then flew away on its own.
It works on the same principle as the catapults often seen in movies and TV dramas.
However, it is much easier to use than a sling.
Even a farmer can use it well after a few days of training.
However, its accuracy limit is also lower than that of a slingshot.
Li Mosi picked up a stone from beside the campfire, which was used to separate the fire from the outside world, and put it into her net bag.
After making sure he had enough space around him, he swung the float.
"drink!"
Zi Yi stared intently at the floater.
Just as Li Moss said, a slipknot will loosen on its own at the right angle, allowing the stone to fly out.
Snapped--
With a soft thud, the pebble struck the rock wall, scattering some fragments.
Zi Yi picked up the stones and took the float rod from Li Mosi.
He put the stone into the net, put the slipknot on the end of the pole, and then put the handle on his shoulder.
After confirming that he was alright, Li Mosi stepped back to the side.
"what!"
Zi Yi exerted his strength suddenly in his usual way.
The stone ultimately landed noticeably to the left.
Looking at the two landing points that were more than a meter apart, Zi Yi understood how crooked this thing could be.
All I can say is that there are many things in this world that require making choices.
He nodded: "The accuracy of this is indeed much worse than that of a bow and arrow, but its advantage is that it only consumes stones."
Arrows are still too scarce.
"Put it on the table first."
As Li Mosi spoke, she picked up a vine and handed it to Zi Yi, then picked up another vine for herself.
"I'll teach you how to make a sling."
Slings can be made to size according to individual requirements.
Li Mosi led Zi Yi to do it: "Come on, look at my hand. First, tie a knot like this at this end..."
This thing isn't easy to make, but Ziyi learned it very quickly.
He has always been a fast learner.
However, it still feels clunky and bumpy when using it.
Li Mosi had long mastered the basic use of the sling, but Zi Yi was still afraid when he spun the sling.
Although I eventually mastered how to use it, it was still difficult to hit a human figure within five meters.
Looking at the three weapons on the stone table, Zi Yi couldn't help but touch the sling: "Master, can this really be used?"
This thing is way too difficult to use.
"It doesn't need wood." Li Mosi hadn't placed much hope on it to begin with. "And once you're skilled, you can hit any target within a hundred paces, all you need is stone. You can practice slowly and use it to replace some of your arrows."
After saying that, he got to the point.
"You said you had more timber, how much is left?"
