"Hurry up and turn on the TV and cast the live broadcast!"
Bai Chufei couldn't sit still anymore, so Zhang Wei next to him quickly found the TV remote control and turned on the TV.
Li Yuanjie projected the live video onto the TV.
Then several people put down the teacups in their hands, leaned forward, and watched the pictures on TV intently.
…
"97"
“98!”
“99!”
Po Ri Archery Club, a professional outdoor training ground.
At a distance of fifty meters, Levi, holding a compound bow, shot one armor-piercing hardwood arrow after another at the circular target in the distance.
And almost every arrow hits the center of the target.
What is even more surprising is that the archer draws the bow and shoots the arrow extremely quickly, with almost no aiming or adjustment process. He nocks the arrow, draws the bow, and shoots without any pause, all in one go!
An average of one shot every two seconds!
And every shot hits the target!
"one hundred!"
Yang Jun, Song Chao, Chen Mengqi and others were counting loudly with hoarse voices.
Even the managers of the archery club and the students who came to practice archery, dozens of people, formed a semi-circle and followed the counting with excitement on their faces.
"Goal of hitting the target every time has been achieved!"
"Ten targets, one hundred arrows, ten arrows hit each target, and most of them are concentrated near the center of the jackknife."
"Not only is it accurate, but it also shoots quickly, rivaling the legendary 'linking arrows'!"
"The most amazing thing is the host's physical fitness. A standard compound bow like this requires 35 kilograms of force to pull it open. An average person's hand would get sore after shooting ten arrows in a row, and their efficiency would drop significantly. But the host fired hundreds of shots without any loss of efficiency, without blushing or getting out of breath, and every arrow hit the bull's eye."
"The anchor is awesome!"
"If this kind of archer were in ancient times, he would definitely be a butcher on the battlefield!"
"Gargamel_Reward Rocket X1"
In Zhanyu's live broadcast, the audience responded very enthusiastically, and gifts and rewards continued.
But the perfect performance is just an appetizer before the main course.
The real fun has just begun.
Rested for a while.
Mr. Du, the boss of the archery club, took out an alloy bow from his private collection room. The bow was as tall as an adult and made of high-strength alloy material.
In front of the live camera.
Boss Du said:
"This heavy alloy bow was custom-made by a master archer at a professional weapons workshop abroad, spending over a million yuan."
"It weighs 14.5 kilograms and is made of titanium alloy. The bowstring is made of high-strength carbon fiber. It will not break even if it withstands a ton of tension."
"This is a twelve-stone bow. To pull its bowstring to the full moon state, it requires the strength of twelve stones."
"Maybe most viewers don't quite understand what a twelve-stone bow is. Why is it called a twelve-stone bow? And how much force does one stone equal?"
"Let me give you a brief introduction. In ancient times, people measured the force required to fully draw a bow by hanging weights on the bowstring. A bow that could hold a weight of one dan was called a one-dan bow, while a bow that could hold two, three, or even more dan was called a multi-dan bow."
"The ancient units of weight were not uniform. When converted to the modern kilogram system, the weight of one stone is roughly between 30 and 60 kilograms. We use one stone as the equivalent of 50 kilograms."
"The bows used by ancient archers were mostly one-stone bows or eight-stone bows. Bows that could pull more than two stones were rare."
"This heavy alloy bow I had custom-made is truly a twelve-stone bow. If you don't believe me, let's hang a heavy object on it and measure it."
Finished.
Boss Du placed the heavy alloy bow in his hand upside down on the bow stand for measuring the bowstring.
Hang a hook on the bowstring.
Then, have the employees bring standard weights and place them one by one on the tray under the hook.
A standard weight weighs 20 kilograms. When the weights are increased to 30, the heavy alloy bow can no longer bear the weight and is deformed into a shape close to a full moon.
A truly twelve-stone strong bow!
"It takes 600 kilograms of force to pull it into a full moon."
"How could a human possibly draw a bow like this?"
"It seems unlikely that those ancient ten-stone bows and eight-stone magical bows existed. Even if one stone is equal to 30 kilograms, the most you can pull is a four- or five-stone bow."
"This bow has more collectible value than practical significance."
"What's the boss doing with this bow? Can anyone pull it open? Can a human pull it open?"
"Could it be that... His Majesty the Emperor wants to give it a try? This is impossible!"
Boss Du asked his employees to remove the weights one by one and continued to explain:
"This heavy alloy bow reaches a height of 1.8 meters. Unless someone is over 2 meters tall, it's impossible to fully draw it. Today's challenger, Mr. Levi, is about 1.8 meters tall. As long as he can draw the bowstring to 80% of its length, it will be considered fully drawn."
"This probably requires about ten stones of force, close to 500 kilograms."
"Of course, no human being can possess 500 kilograms of force. Anyone who can draw this bow halfway can successfully shoot an arrow with incredible power, but this requires 250 kilograms of force."
"However, most archers can't even pull one-fifth of this bow, because it requires at least 100 kilograms of force."
Boss Du is explaining.
The weights are reduced one by one, allowing the audience to intuitively see the corresponding shapes of the bowstring under different pulling forces.
I also understood what Boss Du meant.
It takes about 100 kilograms of force to pull open this heavy alloy bow.
