Chapter 519: A Wooden Plow So Simple That Primitives Can't Stand It
Han Cheng found Lai, the number one carpenter of the Qingque Tribe, and began to tell Lai his idea about Quyuanli.
Of course, the so-called Quyuanli in Han Cheng's mouth is not the kind of Quyuanli that is common in later generations.
Not to mention the rest, just the two objects made of iron, the plowshare and the plowwall, were enough to stop him.
The 'Quyuanli' he was talking about was a rudimentary and outrageous object.
In short, the general structure is a Y-shaped tree branch being brought down.
The upper branch is longer and the lower branch is shorter. The longer branch is used to hang the rope for the deer to pull. The lower branch should be trimmed into a sharper shape as much as possible to form a plowshare and plowwall. strong presence.
The handle at the back is used to support and control the plow.
Such a plow made of all wood can be said to be very simple.
Limp looked at the object on the ground, and couldn't help but imitate Shenzi, sniffling.
Shenzi hadn't asked him to build new objects for a long time, and finally came today, which made the more mature carpenter very excited. He felt a little itchy after not building new things for a long time.
Products produced by the Son of God must be high-quality products. This is a truth that is widely circulated in the Qingque tribe and everyone agrees with it.
As the most skilled carpenter of the Qingque Tribe, under the guidance of Shenzi, he has made a variety of cross-age tools. Lai agrees with this sentence far more deeply than ordinary people.
And Shenzi's introduction to this new tool also confirmed the conjecture in Lame's heart.
Animal power can be used to plow the land, which greatly improves the efficiency of plowing, saves people's labor, and at the same time, the cultivated area can also be greatly expanded.
After listening to this introduction, one knows that this kind of precious tool is extremely precious, at least it is at the same level as the columbine car.
Lame immediately regained his energy, rolled up his sleeves, brought his tools, and made preparations for continuous struggle to overcome many difficulties, and then made the plow when he was exhausted.
However, it turned out...
The result is such an eye-popping.
Find him from the Son of God,
To explain the structure, find materials, make tools...all of these are added together, and one day is useless.
Moreover, this miraculous tool that the Son of God said was completely beyond his imagination...
This... is this too crude?
Looking at the ground, it was nothing more than cutting off a tree branch and resting for a while, lame with the sleeves still not down, not knowing how to express my feelings for a while.
"What the hell, it's just a red light, it makes my blood boil!"
In a movie I don’t know how many years later, the taxi driver who watched too many gangster movies expressed his lame feelings at this time.
Such a thing, there is no need to go to war like this, okay?
Tucao belongs to Tucao, but the tool is made, but you have to experiment.
So under the leadership of the great Han Shenzi, he lamely carried the plow, which was so crude that primitive people could not stand it, followed Shenzi to the deer pen, abducted the head deer that was going to be a coolie, and walked out of the tribe.
In the fields around the tribe, there are many people who are busy working for the land.
Most of the slaves are responsible for the more laborious land reclamation, while most of the old hands of the Qingque tribe are working on the land that has already been reclaimed.
Compared with opening up wasteland, it is much easier to plow the land that has been planted with food.
The Qingque tribe now has more than a thousand acres of land. Even with an increase in manpower, it is not easy to reclaim these lands in a short period of time.
So far, only one-eighth of the cultivated land has been plowed.
Han Cheng and Lie came to the field very close to the tribe,
I don't know how to use a plow to plow the field, so the heinously simple wooden plow to plow the field can only fall to Han Cheng, a well-informed son of God.
Because deer have been used to sow and harrow the land before, so the Qingque tribe does not lack such things as 'deer sets'.
Fix the deer harness made of rope and leather on the uncle deer. The wooden hook behind the deer harness is hooked on the rope loop that has been drilled in front of the wooden plow.
Han Cheng arched his back slightly, and firmly held the handle of the wooden plow with both hands.
"what!"
After an order was issued, Uncle Lu, who had formed a conditioned reflex to this after long-term labor, walked forward with his hooves.
The wooden plow moved accordingly, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Because the wooden plow is too light and the plowshare made of pure wood is not sharp enough, the plowshare only enters a shallow layer of the ground.
After walking a certain distance, Han Cheng had to press hard on the plow handle with both arms, and finally put his entire body weight on the plow handle.
With such a strong body, the plowshare with a slanted mouth underneath, under the traction of the uncle deer, finally sank deeper into the ground, and the plowed depth is similar to that dug by a human with a bone shovel.
The lame who followed behind looked at the ditch that had been reclaimed and the upturned soil, his eyes widened a little. Such a tool can really be used to plow the ground?
And it seems that the speed is much faster than that of a human using a bone shovel.
Unlike the lame surprise, Han Cheng, who walked forward for a while pressing the wooden plow, gradually frowned.
It is too laborious to plow the land with such a wooden plow.
It is almost necessary to press hard on the plow handle all the time.
Moreover, for this kind of wooden plow without a curved plow wall, the turned up soil runs to both sides.
Unlike the plows of later generations, after the plow passed, the turned up soil ran to one side, and most of them were buckled back.
In this way, the turned soil is not conducive to receiving the sun's drying.
At the same time, the upturned soil will also cover the land that has not been plowed, which is not conducive to the operation of the next plow, and it is easy to miss the land.
Using this kind of plow to plow the ground is not only tiring for people, but also for the deer pulling the wooden plow.
Not long after plowing, the slender legs of Uncle Lu who was pulling the plow in front began to tremble a little.
And Uncle Lu is the strongest and most powerful of all deer.
If it was another deer coming over, I am afraid that the plow will go a little deeper into the soil and it will walk away in place.
If such a wooden plow is pulled by a big man like an ox, a horse, or a mule, it will be almost the same. It is really difficult for a deer to be pulled by the deer.
After plowing like this for a while, looking at Uncle Lu whose legs were trembling more and more in front, Han Cheng, who was also very tired, finally stopped farming.
It seems that at this time, it is still not possible to plow the land with a plow.
Judging from the current conditions, if you want to plow with animal power, there are generally only two ways out.
One is to find metal mines, smelt a large amount of metal, and then use the metal to make plowshares and plowwalls, creating a real curved shaft plow.
Or find large animals such as cows, horses, and donkeys, and use them to pull plows.
If one of these two conditions is met, plowing can be realized.
Of course, if both can be satisfied, that would be great.
But for the time being, these two things feel far away when you think about them.
It would be great if the rhino from the Tengshe Tribe wasn't killed. Such a giant existence is more than enough to pull a wooden plow.
No matter how blunt the plow, with such a big animal, it can be pulled into the air.
Too bad that guy is dead...
It seems that it is not impossible to use deer to pull wood to plow the land!
Han Cheng, who sat there worrying for a while, suddenly stood up...
