Chapter 549: Competition for Ranking
Bifang was wandering in the forest carrying a spear, and the animal tooth necklace around his neck made a metallic sound when it clashed with other animals.
He scratched the slightly curled hair ends, looked a little listless, opened his mouth and yawned deeply.
I stayed up until the early hours of the morning yesterday and started the live broadcast at 8:30 this morning. All in all, I didn’t get a full night’s sleep for six hours and I felt a little sleepy.
[Oh my god, did Lao Fang secretly reward himself yesterday when he was on holiday? ]
[Be moderate! ]
[I heard that there are formal sex shops in Japan (funny)]
[Lao Fang is young and strong, he must have failed to control himself]
[Jing Fang: I just hunted a bear and I’m really mad]
“Ahem.”
Bifang clenched his fist and coughed, then took out his kettle and drank some water. After taking a few deep breaths, he regained his spirit and soon recovered.
It’s really hard to be Batman. I don’t even have enough rest time and I can’t even get up in the morning.
"When I woke up this morning, I looked at the rankings and found that I had fallen to third place. It seems that others are working hard."
Currently ranked first is a duo consisting of ghost hunters. Although they did not have much harvest in the first few days, they came from behind and cleverly used traps and machetes to successfully hunt three black bears within three days.
The scores of the two are now 13.2 points each, and the scores of the three bears are all around 10 points.
The second place contestant was somewhat unexpected.
It turned out to be an old man from the Ugly Country, named Gary Berson.
Forehead……
It's not quite accurate to say that he is old, but he is indeed the oldest among the contestants, at 52 years old. Among the group of hunters participating in the competition, his physical fitness is at a considerable disadvantage.
The most important thing is that when Bifang learned about this guy's experience, he was somewhat impressed.
It really opens my mind.
Because this old hunter directly assembled a heavy crossbow-like mechanism.
Is it a foul?
It's hard to say.
The show does not allow hunting with heavy crossbows because it is too illegal.
The earliest crossbow was invented in China more than two thousand years ago.
However, modern crossbows and ancient crossbows are basically two different things.
In particular, modern crossbows also use a pulley system. The eccentric wheel design makes stringing the bow less labor-intensive on the one hand, and makes the bowstring rebound faster on the other. The initial velocity of many crossbows can exceed 100 meters, which is unimaginable for traditional crossbows.
Under the action of the pulley system, the crossbow arm can produce a large deformation, which accelerates the arrow over a large distance, so the final speed is much higher.
Furthermore, at closer ranges, a modern crossbow with a sniper scope is as accurate as even a sniper rifle.
A foreign weapons blogger once demonstrated the shooting accuracy of a modern crossbow at a distance of 25 yards. How high is it?
Almost every arrow hits the target close to the previous one, and the arrows shot later often hit the arrow holes of the previous arrows.
The overall error is less than the size of a coin. If you use a rifle without a scope, it is difficult to achieve such accuracy at this distance.
Not to mention arrows. The assembly line of modern industry can make almost every arrow exactly the same.
There are so many advantages that crossbows still have a place in modern special forces or some armed police forces, both at home and abroad.
Of course, there is still a huge gap compared to firearms, but the power of the crossbow is still very considerable. Although the initial velocity is only about 100 meters per second, the arrow is much heavier than the bullet.
A 24-gram carbon arrow has a kinetic energy of 120 joules. Combined with a high-lethality hunting arrowhead, it can easily kill large animals such as deer and bears, and can penetrate ordinary soft bulletproof vests.
No matter how much fat a bear accumulates, its defensive capabilities can never be better than a bulletproof vest.
Therefore, modern crossbows are absolutely prohibited for contestants. Carrying a modern crossbow is almost the same as carrying a rifle.
It's not just cheating, it's cheating.
The only problem is that this hunter didn't bring a crossbow directly, but a complete set of woodworking tools...
Except for some key parts, which needed to be made of alloy due to load-bearing capacity and other reasons, the rest of the crossbow was planed out bit by bit by him using his own carpentry tools in the wilderness...
Is this a foul or not?
Not to mention the judges, even the audience was stunned.
It's not quite right to say that it's a foul, because except for some small parts that cannot be supported by wood, the entire structure that wraps the crossbow was planed out bit by bit by this guy in the forest with a plane.
Otherwise it's just a bunch of small parts and means nothing.
You want to say it's a foul.
There is no clear rule on how many pounds is considered a heavy crossbow.
The judges tested Bernson's crossbow, and found that it could easily penetrate a tree within twenty steps, and could penetrate half of it within thirty steps. Its power was amazing, almost as powerful as a javelin.
With modern scientific structure and alloy parts with amazing load-bearing capacity, the crossbow can exert amazing power with just a decent frame.
In the end, the judges gave Berson a break, and the audience also liked this old man and did not rule that he had violated any rules.
After all, it was Benson who clearly stated that he wanted to bring these things in and did not hide it. It was also his ability that he was able to use them to make the crossbow in the end.
It took more than two days to make the entire crossbow. On the third day, with the help of the weapon in his hand, Benson used only ten arrows to hunt down a huge black bear with a body length of nearly 1.7 meters at night.
The wounds caused by the crossbow are small, but the damage is great, and the black bears hunted are extremely intact.
The score reached 13.1 points in one fell swoop. The fifty-year-old Bosen actually surpassed Bifang's 10.2 points and became the second among the contestants.
He even earned the title of Strong Crossbowman Burson.
Although the hunting scenes and excitement of Benson's performance were far inferior to Bifang's, Benson used experience and methods unique to his age group.
Time has taught the old man that a strong body will eventually decline.
Only wisdom can be used throughout your life.
When faced with a target he wants to obtain, he will not engage in the most primitive hunting like the brave Bifang and have a hearty battle of blood and fire, but will hide in the dark and shoot a fatal blow at the weak point of the prey.
[I feel the judges should have lowered the score, otherwise the first place should be Borson instead of those two ghost hunters]
[Lao Fang, Lao Fang, I told you to take a break. Now it’s all good, right? You’ve already finished third! ]
[Stop rewarding yourself and stand up! ]
"Okay, okay, let's try to catch another one today." Bifang agreed repeatedly.
The current ranking has changed again after three days of competition.
The Ghost Hunter duo came in first with 13.2 points .
Strong crossbowman Old Bernson is second with 13.1 points.
The restricted area hunter Bifang ranked third with 10.2 points.
Naginata Shogun Sato ranked fourth with 9.8 points.
…
Deer Hunter Mugalen ranked sixth with 9.4 points.
