What Mu Feng suddenly remembered was related to the Xuan Snake Department.
Besieged by the giant python in the Xuan Snake Department and fell into a hard fight, almost suffered heavy losses.
He thought about this question over and over on the way back, and found that from the Kui Beast tribe to the Black Snake tribe, the settlements of these big tribes were not like the big ginger, black bear, and Lei Ze who were "near mountains and rivers" with natural barriers.
These tribes only need to have a water source nearby, and the surrounding environment is a flat plain.
And their daring to settle down like this has something to do with the number of people in their tribe.
Living in the plains will undoubtedly face the attacks of wild beasts, but these large tribes are so strong that they don't care about the intrusion of these wild beasts.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything.
The wide field of vision in the plains also reduces the possibility of other tribes wanting to attack and plunder, forcing tribes that have ideas about them to confront them head-on.
Except for a few beast masters like Mu Feng who used wild beasts to clear the way.
Even so, Mu Feng and the others almost stumbled in the Xuan Snake Department.
After this incident, Mufeng has realized that if he wants to fight westward, the terrain will become one of the most important factors affecting the way of fighting and the result.
It is obviously unrealistic to sneak attack and use the cover of terrain to deploy in a roundabout way.
To avoid what happened last time, he needs weapons with longer range, stronger destructive power, and greater lethality!
Referring to the tribal construction of the Kui Beast Department and the Black Snake Department, the most effective weapon is the catapult.
The technical difficulty of manufacturing the catapult is not a problem for Mufeng, what needs to be solved is nothing more than providing elastic winches and pallets for catapulting stones.
How the catapults were delivered to these tribes is a big question.
In addition, the protective walls of these tribes are not so strong, and it is really overkill to transport the catapults in the past.
On balance, he had to give up.
Since the catapult can't work, he can only think of another way.
Suitable weapons are also spear throwers and rockets.
These weapons are simple to make and easy to carry, and they are perfect for dealing with tribes like the Kui Beast Department and the Black Snake Department.
The spear thrower is the easiest to make. It only needs a long and narrow stick, which is processed according to the length of the spear to make a top support, and a small hole slightly thicker than the top support is drilled at the end of the spear.
Then the position of the small hole at the end of the spear is stuck on the top support, and it is enough to hold the handle of the spear thrower upside down with one hand and aim at the target and throw it out forcefully.
The accuracy of the spear thrower cannot be compared with that of a bow and arrow, but once it is hit, the lethality is incomparable to that of a bow and arrow.
So the use of spear throwers works best with massive coverage.
In the past, the number of Dajiang fighters was relatively small, and if they used spear throwers in a real confrontation between the two, the effect would definitely not be much better.
But today is not what it used to be. In terms of the number of Jiang's fighters and his understanding and use of weapons, he can definitely maximize the power of the spear thrower!
As for the rocket, it is even simpler. You only need to bind flammable, long-lasting, and windproof fuel to the arrow.
Now the fuel he has on hand is some animal fat that needs to be preheated and ignited. Although the burning time is considerable, it is not good at preventing wind. Once tied to the arrow and shot out, the fire will be extinguished before the arrow hits the ground. .
So he needs to go to a more windproof fuel - alcohol or vegetable oil!
The wine in his hand is only 30 to 40 degrees, and it needs to be further purified to reach the degree of combustion. Not to mention a waste of time, and a waste of food, he decisively gave up.
Then the choice of fuel is only vegetable oil!
Fortunately, ginger now has a lot of oil crops: soybeans, peanuts and tung oil fruits!
These three things are all crops with high oil yield, and the most economical and suitable one is tung oil fruit.
These tung oil fruits are exactly the tung oil trees that he moved and planted from Dalong Mountain before, and now they have harvested a large number of tung oil fruits in autumn.
For a long time, no one knew how to deal with it, so it was put in the "warehouse" and kept well.
After Mu Feng made up his mind, seeing that it was still dark, he hurriedly went to Wang Yue and Li Hu, and asked them to assign some carpentry and stone carving craftsmen to him.
After he taught two people how to make spear throwers, he took another group of people to choose the materials needed to make tung oil-he had to make all of these two things before he set off to prevent damage to the Goshawk Department. Come in handy!
Because in addition to oil, there is also the "equipment" for making oil that needs to be refined.
There are roughly two methods for extracting vegetable oil, one is the pressing method, and the other is the water substitution method.
Squeezing is the simplest and direct way to squeeze oil crops by gravity, which is fast but has a low oil yield.
The water substitution method can be roughly classified as the traditional method of making sesame oil. It needs to go through a series of processes such as rinsing, drying, roasting, watering, and oil rinsing. It is time-consuming and laborious, but the oil yield is high.
Mufeng didn't intend to use tung oil for food, so he didn't feel it was a waste, and directly chose to crush and squeeze the tung oil fruit, and use the pressing method to refine the oil.
But even so, he couldn't waste tung oil fruit at will.
So he is going to make a "high power" "squeezer"!
The "power" of the press depends on the pressure - that is, the weight of the pressed material.
This is not difficult for Mufeng.
Ginger has ready-made stones, and there are also lead lumps left over from copper and iron smelting for a long time!
He only needs to have someone make a copper-clad lead or iron-clad lead heavy pressure plate-this is not difficult.
Then make an oil pressure groove under the heavy pressure plate.
The difficulty is what can be used to lift such a heavy weight plate!
Looking at the entire tribe, there are very few people with such strength, even Li Wang is exhausted and out of breath after trying twice, let alone others.
Mu Feng secretly thought about how to solve the problem of lifting heavy objects.
If pure manpower is not enough, then it is necessary to make a winch that can lift heavy objects.
The principle of the winch is very simple, similar to a well wheel lifting a bucket.
All he needs to do is make winches and ropes.
In this way, things become simple.
Because the wooden wind needs to be used urgently, thick ropes are temporarily used instead, and iron chains will be used later to make thicker and heavier heavy pressure plates.
In this way, when the crushed tung oil was put into the oil pressure tank and the yellowed tung oil was pressed out, all the people present were stunned.
Especially after Mu Feng ignited it, the bright yellow liquid started to catch fire, which made them speechless in shock...
So under Mufeng's urging and Mochizuki's extra manpower overnight, we arrived at
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
