Chapter 41

The formula of gunpowder was useless, and Yan Liqiang was not disappointed, but quickly accepted the reality. On the contrary, for some reason, Yan Liqiang felt relieved and saw his future more clearly.

A world that will never have thermal weapons may not be a bad thing. When going down the mountain, Yan Liqiang secretly thought that the world does not have thermal weapons, and the world lacks the necessary conditions for the production and use of electricity, which means that the world will never have atomic bombs and nuclear weapons, There are so many strange things that human beings can easily destroy themselves. Of course, there will not be so much pollution and disease

When it becomes more and more difficult to kill a person, it means that the possibility of human beings destroying themselves is decreasing and the cost of killing each other is increasing. There's nothing bad about this, isn't it?

From the perspective of productivity development, the peak of the world's future productivity development is equivalent to the first industrial revolution on earth. The utilization of steam and the invention of steam engine may be the most powerful force that human beings can conquer nature in the world.

The principle of steam engine is not complicated.

When Yan Liqiang thought of the steam engine, the 3D animation of the structural principle demonstration of the steam engine he saw on the Internet naturally appeared in his mind.

Walking on the mountain road, Yan Liqiang shook his head.

He didn't come to the world to be a craftsman. In fact, a craftsman doesn't have a high position in the world. Even if he takes out the design drawing of the steam engine now, the drawing doesn't mean much to him and can't change anything. The world doesn't invent the saying of patent. If the steam engine is really useful, others can buy it and imitate it, It has nothing to do with him. Perhaps the wealth brought to him by the drawing of the steam engine is not as good as one tenth of the reward given to him by the Lu family.

One hundred liang of gold is a huge wealth for any craftsman. At least Yan Liqiang is so big. I haven't heard that any craftsman can get a reward of several hundred liang of gold after inventing something. However, several hundred liang of gold can't solve the practical problems he has to face, let alone turn the Hong family into friends with him.

Therefore, in this world that is always destined to be ruled by cold weapons, the most critical point is cultivation. Cultivation is the king if you want to mix well in this world, not be eaten by people and have the ability to protect yourself!

At the foot of the mountain, it happened that Yan Liqiang met the sergeant in the morning. It seems that the sergeant is also going to go back to the canteen for dinner.

"Hahaha, brothers, what a coincidence..." Yan Li Qiang smiled and took the initiative to say hello to the sergeant.

"Ah, how's Yan Shao practicing?"

Yan Liqiang rubbed his shoulder deliberately with a sad face, "brother Zhou's horn Python bow is too strong. I can't pull it after only pulling it a few times. It seems that I have to take my time..."

"Hahaha, this is a powerful bow of five stones. Yan Shao can open it now. It's great..." the captain of the sergeant who spoke looked enviously at the horned Python bow carried by Yan Liqiang. "I believe Yan Shao will be able to give full play to the power of this horned Python bow in the future, brothers, don't you think so?"

"Yes!" A group of sergeants laughed.

"Thank you for your kind words. Go, go, go, let's go to dinner, eat..."

"Hahaha..."

……

After lunch, Yan Liqiang went back to the mountain.

In order to verify the formula of gunpowder, he has wasted a morning. Now what should be proved has been proved and what should be clear has been clear. Yan Liqiang naturally returned to the track of cultivation and practiced harder.

Cut the crap

Yan Liqiang directly gave himself an easy tendon washing marrow meridian to replenish his body in the hot sun.

In less than two hours after practicing the skill, Yan Liqiang felt that his whole body had been washed by the spirit and energy of heaven and earth again. After finishing the skill, the whole person was refreshed and energetic. What's more strange is that even in the hot sun, after practicing the skill, Yan Liqiang didn't feel hot, but had a comfortable feeling of wind in his armpits.

It's time to show the real technology... Cough... Cough

After warming up, Yan Liqiang opened the bow bag, took out the horn Python bow and began to practice archery.

Bow and arrow, in the age of cold weapons, is definitely one of the most powerful weapons.

Once on earth, the Mongols, with a population of two or three million and a total military strength of only hundreds of thousands, swept the whole Eurasian continent with iron hooves under their hips and bows and arrows in their hands, destroyed countless countries, and established the largest Yuan Empire in human history.

As long as you have strength and can shoot arrows, a reckless man can easily kill tens of meters away, and it is impossible to prevent. This is the power of bow and arrow, which can not be compared with any other weapon.

In the silver continent, archery is called the bow way. After advanced warriors, the bow way is the first of the six arts. Because the cultivation method of gongdao is different from the general martial arts, many people even juxtapose the cultivation of gongdao with the cultivation of martial arts. Some extremists even think that the importance of gongdao is far above that of martial arts, which shows the importance of gongdao.

When the unknown danger is approaching you quickly and someone wants to kill you, you have two choices in front of you. One is to find a master to practice martial arts, exercise and learn Sanda martial arts. The second choice is to pick up the rifle or pistol in front of you and learn shooting. Which one will you choose?

Yan Liqiang will not hesitate to choose the second one, because the second one has the fastest effect and the greatest power, so this is why he chose to start learning archery today.

Archery is a method that can transform a person's strength into lethality in the most efficient way. At this point, no martial arts can surpass it.

Yan Liqiang has nothing else but strength.

To practice archery in the mountains and forests, you don't need any targets. You just need to find a big tree at will.

Yan Liqiang's goal is a big tree 30 meters away from him. The trunk of the big tree is as thick as a person's hug. It looks a little thicker than a person's body. Moreover, behind the big tree is an earth slope and grassland. After the arrow flies, it won't hurt people, let alone run too far to pick it up. It's the most suitable for practicing archery.

The first arrow, Yan Liqiang pulled a full bow. He aimed at the tree trunk in the distance. As soon as he loosened his hand, the bow string of the horned Python bow shook. He only heard a slight "whew" sound breaking the air. The arrow had already flown out, fast as lightning, and disappeared at once

The shot arrow really disappeared, because Yan Liqiang's eyesight couldn't capture the trace of the first shot arrow at all. He didn't even know where the arrow was shot. He just felt that it was empty, because after he shot, the tree trunk as a target was still empty and had nothing.

The first arrow was empty, and the horn Python's bow was too full and powerful. There was no need to fill the bow at such a close distance.

When shooting the second arrow, Yan Liqiang learned from the experience of the first arrow, only pulled the bow to about one-third of the position, and another arrow was fired. After the second arrow was shot out, it was still difficult to capture with the naked eye, and the speed was still fast. However, Yan Liqiang saw that the arrow flew from the left side of the trunk of the big tree and did not enter the haystack on the earth slope behind.

Yan Liqiang adjusted again, and the third arrow was shot

The arrow is a little to the right.

The fourth arrow, again to the left

The fifth arrow rubbed the trunk

For Yan Liqiang, archery is a strange enjoyment. When shooting every arrow, no matter whether it hits the target or not, Yan Liqiang will have a warm and quiet sense of joy in his heart. The arrows flying from his hands are like a bird in the sky when he opens the cage, It is also like the small fish and loach he bought from the fishing market and put into rivers and lakes. As long as he can watch these things return to freedom from his hands, it is already a kind of enjoyment and satisfaction, just like spiritual massage.

In Yan Liqiang's eyes, the lifeless horn Python bow and cold arrows seemed to gradually become a life with warm body temperature when he began to pick up them and shoot their first arrow, which naturally made him feel close.

……

The eighth arrow was shot. Finally, with a "grab", the arrow of the arrow was finally nailed to the tree trunk like a nail. The whole arrow didn't enter the tree trunk. Only the arrow shaft trembled after hitting the target

The ninth arrow hit the target again, and the tenth arrow still hit the target

There were 36 arrows in the first pot. Except for the seven arrows in front, all the 29 arrows in the back hit the trunk and were firmly nailed to the trunk.

It didn't seem too difficult to shoot arrows. Yan Liqiang muttered in his heart. He went over and took back all the arrows he shot.

The arrows that hit the tree trunk must be dug out with a knife. Six of the seven arrows that hit the back slope were found. The first arrow shot by Yan Liqiang did not enter the slope because of its great power. Only a little feather at the tail of the arrow plume was still exposed. When Yan Liqiang wanted to pull it out, I found that the shaft of the whole arrow had already been broken

……

After all, the strong bow of the five stones is the strong bow of the five stones. After shooting the thirty-six arrows, even if the bow is not full, Yan Liqiang still feels that his arm is a little sour and consumes a lot of strength. He runs to the nearby mountain spring, drinks a little clear and sweet mountain spring, and takes a rest for a while before continuing to practice Archery

In the second practice, all the 35 arrows hit the tree trunk 30 meters away, and none of them missed the target and shot askew

In the third practice, all the 35 arrows were shot on the tree trunk at one go. Still, no arrow missed the target and shot askew. Not only that, the arrows shot on the tree trunk were also arranged in a neat circle, like an arrow target
