He now only has 32 arrows left that he can use.
Tang Weiwei only had three original arrows, totaling no more than 35.
There are four bows in the team now, so these arrows are clearly not enough.
Furthermore, the arrows of a compound bow are slightly smaller than those of a compound bow.
Given Ye Feng's personality, it's absolutely impossible for him to carry only 7 arrows.
A bow is a gun, and an arrow is a bullet; neither can be dispensed with.
If you find you're out of bullets during a battle, you'll have no choice but to fight hand-to-hand.
Even with the fish scale armor, Ye Feng didn't think he could defeat the remaining experts.
Moreover, there are still very few capable fighters in the team.
But if you were to make a hundred or two hundred arrows…
When the enemy attacks, four high-powered bows fire simultaneously, unleashing an endless barrage of arrows.
What kind of team can withstand this?
"hehe…"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng stroked his chin and let out a silly grin.
The more I think about it, the more I think this arrow should be made…
"Daxiong, Zhan Pengwu, you two help me dig some soil, just regular yellow soil will do, and put it in a backpack."
Also, fetch more water.
"Okay~"
Fu Changxiong readily agreed; this kind of work was like a warm-up for him.
"Stop daydreaming. You'll have plenty of time to daydream once the furnace is finished."
So he grabbed the still bewildered Zhan Pengwu, picked up his shovel and backpack, and headed away.
"David, go and get me some pine resin, the more the better, and while you're at it, cut down a tree."
Remember... I want a deciduous tree, you should know what that is, right?
Tang Weiwei frowned, feeling quite displeased.
"This kid is actually bossing me around on my turf? Does he really think he's my little brother?"
Thinking of this, he looked at the compound bow in his hand again.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." He fits both descriptions.
He also wanted to see how Ye Feng was going to operate.
Building a furnace and smelting iron in the wild. This was completely beyond his comprehension; he simply couldn't believe it.
However, she still verbally agreed...
"Okay, I'll take care of this, but you better not make me work for nothing."
Ye Feng simply nodded, gave a few more instructions to the others, and then carried his bag into the neighboring forest.
Having learned from his previous experience building a furnace, he wasn't going to use manpower to fan the flames this time.
First, it's just too hot; second, we don't have enough manpower.
Therefore, he planned to make a blower that was labor-saving and time-saving, which could be operated by one person.
The campsite Tang Weiwei chose had poor animal resources, but its plant resources were quite good.
Ye Feng counted roughly and found that there were four kinds of deciduous trees, much richer than the small hillside before.
He found the raw materials for the blower he needed in almost no time. Tree bark…
That's right, it's tree bark...
However, it must be bark that is dry on the surface but tough on the inside.
He planned to use this as the fan blades for a blower.
It took him about half an hour to tear off a total of 6 oval-shaped pieces of bark from the tree.
Then he cut a few more straight branches and returned to the camp.
At this time, Tang Weiwei and the other two who had gone out had not yet returned.
But he immediately started working.
Several wounded soldiers rushed forward to check on the injuries, especially Zhan Pengfei.
Ye Feng had heard a lot about the handicrafts from Liu Sisi.
I'm incredibly excited to be able to witness and learn how to make a furnace, such a big job.
Compared to his two older brothers, although he had never seen Ye Feng do anything, he already had no doubt about Ye Feng's abilities.
This is also due to the brainwashing ability of his companions. They spent their days recuperating from their injuries and chatting aimlessly with Zhan Pengfei whenever they had nothing to do.
Add to that the unusual equipment everyone was wearing, and you had no choice but to believe it.
"Brother Feng, what's the bark for? Does the furnace need it?"
What's that little stick? They haven't come back from digging mud yet. Can you make it without mud?
Why did you ask Big Brother Vivi to cut down trees? You need wood to build a furnace.
Uh...oh! I get it! You want to...
"Shut up!"
Zhan Pengfei, who had just started talking incessantly, was stopped by Qi Xiaoyan and Liu Sisi at the same time.
Before Ye Feng could even shout, the two women beat him to it.
This guy keeps chattering away whenever he has a spare moment, it's really annoying.
"Can't you just focus on watching and studying properly?"
"Exactly, he doesn't know anything but shows off, which is affecting Brother Feng's work."
Hehe~
Zhan Pengfei gave an awkward smile and nodded…
"Brother Feng, I'm really curious! Can you tell me what I need to do first? I really want to learn."
Ye Feng took out a measuring tape, spread out the curved bark, and while measuring, he carved on it with a knife.
He said:
"I'm going to make a blower now, so that it will save effort when smelting steel."
"If you want to learn, shut up and watch quietly from the side. Don't bother me."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengfei could only nod reluctantly, as he actually had many more questions he wanted to ask.
In less than 5 minutes, Ye Feng finished measuring the bark and began cutting along the lines with scissors.
The process didn't take long; soon, four rectangular pieces of bark, each about 25 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide, were cut off.
After comparing the bark for a moment, he cut it into the same size and length, and the fan blades of the blower were finished.
Then, using a measuring tape, he carefully cut a slit in the middle of the fan blade.
It's only about half the width, which is about 5 centimeters...
Before long, to the bewildered looks of the others, Ye Feng picked up the two fan blades.
Align the slits you just cut, and slowly insert it...
The two fan blades instantly merged into one, forming a cross shape.
But that wasn't all; he then took out a small wooden stick that he had collected.
It is about 50 centimeters long and about the size of the mouth of a pulsating bottle.
Ye Feng removed excess branches, trying to make it as smooth as possible.
He then stood the stick upright and used a knife to gently cut a cross at one end, just like making a harpoon.
What was originally a single stick has been split into four pieces at one end.
However, the stick was not completely cut into four pieces.
Ye Feng inserted the four branches into the corners of the finished cross-shaped fan blades, then sandwiched it between the sticks…
Then they used vines to tie and secure the front and back sections of the fan blades.
In this way, the fan blades are sandwiched between the sticks, and a windmill-like device is made.
This is also the most important factor in determining the wind power inside the fan.
Ye Feng gripped the stick with both hands and rubbed it with force from both sides at the same time, immediately feeling the wind force transmitted from the bark and blades.
He deliberately cut the fan blades to be larger so that the wind generated when rubbing them together during steelmaking would be stronger.
The stronger the wind, the bigger the fire, and the faster and more efficient the refining process will be.
