The molten steel was poured into the cast template bricks.
This time, they made a total of forty-three arrowheads, one spear, and two steel sheaths for spiked clubs.
With Qi Xiaoyan, a master calligrapher whose hands never tremble, each arrow mold was cast perfectly, with virtually no crookedness.
Ye Feng timed it precisely and waited for about twenty minutes until all the molten steel had solidified.
He immediately called on everyone to start digging...
He himself gently stroked the two huge mud bricks in front of him, his expression a mixture of worry and excitement.
Because inside, there were weapon templates for Zhan Pengwu and Fu Changxiong.
"You've worked hard all day, so please don't let me down."
With a nervous heart, Ye Feng gently pried open the template of the spear with his knife.
This is a long spear, about a foot long, with a double-edged triangular blade.
He commissioned Qi Xiaoyan to draw it, and made several mistakes during the process.
He had to re-sculpt four or five mud bricks before he could finish the drawing.
After that, he followed the image of the spear and used a chisel to carve out the template bit by bit.
This is no small task. If too much or too little mud is removed, the finished spearhead will be uneven and of inconsistent size.
In that case, we'll have to start all over again.
Ye Feng wasn't a perfectionist, but the time and charcoal required to forge steel were simply too high.
Therefore, he must do his best to achieve the highest level.
So, after measuring and carving intermittently for more than an hour, he finally carved out the template for the spear.
Ye Feng looked the silver and black spearhead over and over, estimating that it weighed about fifteen pounds.
The two edges of the spearhead weren't very sharp; they were somewhat like an axe that had been dull for a long time.
However, its shape can still be glimpsed, and with some extra effort in polishing it, it can still be sharpened into a blade.
The tip of the gun is much better than the blade; its sharpness should be about the same as a finger.
It takes some effort to pierce a person's skin, but for a weapon made from a mold to achieve this level of quality is actually quite impressive.
The most important thing is the subsequent polishing.
Below the gun head, Ye Feng deliberately left a flat, embedded steel plate, eight centimeters long.
Two small holes, each about the size of a thumb, were deliberately left on the steel sheet.
Because the spearhead definitely needs to be fixed to the head of the stick, after all, it's a long spear.
However, if you simply tie it to the stick with a rope, it can easily come loose during a fight.
So after thinking it over, Ye Feng took the stick that Fu Changxiong had chosen and used a saw to cut an eight-centimeter slit downwards from one end of the stick.
Simply insert the flat indenter of the spear into this gap, and then use a sharpened wooden wedge…
Drive the rod through the outside, through the hole left in the steel plate, and out the other end. Cut off the excess part, and you're basically done.
This is a type of mortise and tenon structure. In ancient times, when nails were not available, these wooden wedges were used to fix an important part of the house structure.
In this way, unless the stick breaks, the spearhead will not bend no matter what.
Finally, he used rope to firmly bind the embedded steel plate, and a long spear was completed.
"Nobita!"
Ye Feng waved his hand, and Fu Changxiong came running over, covered in sweat…
He was the main force today; he was the one who bent almost all the steel knives.
His whole body was basically soaked in sweat; these were tasks that other people really couldn't do.
"Nobita, you've worked hard. But... your efforts are worthwhile."
The spear is practically flawless; all you need to do now is sharpen it, and it's ready to use.
"hey-hey!"
Fu Changxiong took the gun head with a silly grin and kept stroking it like he was holding a treasure.
In the future, if he encounters large beasts like wild boars or jaguars, he will be able to put up a fight as long as it's a head-on confrontation.
"Thanks, bro, I'm going to grind it now."
After saying that, he ran off towards the water source with cheerful little steps.
Seeing this, Zhan Pengwu quickly joined in.
He tucked his hands together, and his Vajra-like features managed to squeeze out an ugly, yet unmistakably ingratiating smile.
"Hey bro, what's up with me?"
Ye Feng turned his head and saw two identical silver and black circles above another mud brick.
Those are the steel rings of a spiked club, just like hollow steel pipes.
He quickly knocked off the excess mud with a hammer, revealing the original appearance.
This thing is much easier to make than a spear; it's almost effortless.
The two steel pipes are each about 40 centimeters long and less than one centimeter thick.
Apart from the rough surface and the distinct metallic sound when tapped, there seemed to be no other quality issues.
Ye Feng then picked up the four mud bricks next to him and took out the multiple conical steel spikes embedded inside.
These are the teeth of the spiked club, and also the main source of damage output.
The sharpness is quite good, much better than the previous spear tip, and it's already capable of causing harm to a person.
"Not bad! Yours went quite smoothly. Go and smooth out this steel pipe a little, then grind down the steel tip. Finally, use melted grease to glue it onto the stick, and the spiked club will be finished."
"Okay! I'll go grind it right away!"
After saying that, Zhan Pengwu ran away, taking the same steps as Fu Changxiong.
"call……"
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground. Now... the important matter was finally over.
Next, we just need to find the birch tree to make the arrow shafts and connect all the arrowheads.
Each person will have over eighty arrows, which will be divided equally among the four bows, so each person will receive over 20 arrows.
In other words, even if they encounter other teams, as long as they don't engage in a head-on confrontation, these four bows are enough to riddle the opponent with bullets.
Even if we're talking about close combat, we're not afraid. Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu's fighting power is at least equivalent to four people.
With the spear, Fu Changxiong should be able to handle one head-on.
He had stun guns and poisonous tree sap, so if they were too far away, he would shoot them with poison arrows…
If the skin of the other person is even slightly scratched, the poison of the arrow poison tree will kill him within a minute.
If someone gets too close, they'll splash poison on them or stun them with an electric baton.
Although I haven't actually tested the power of this stun gun, as long as it slows down the opponent's movements by even a second, I can immediately finish them off.
Qi Xiaojie's case is even simpler; all he needs to do is fully recover from his injuries.
Throwing stones is a skill that can be used in close combat or at range, as long as he is not ambushed.
With his accuracy, he is practically invincible within ten steps.
In addition, two women were shooting arrows from behind...
Ye Feng had absolutely no idea how this team could possibly lose.
Once safety is guaranteed, life will be much easier from now on.
With such a vast jungle, and relying on his knowledge and a plethora of tools, supporting eight people was not a problem at all.
Life... seems to be slowly getting better.
