Chapter 887 Ancient Tools (3 in 1)

After breakfast, Han Dashenzi, who was in a very good mood, walked around the tribe and came not far from the kitchen.

Wells are being dug here.

With the continuous work of the well diggers, the well has been dug down by more than two meters and nearly three meters deep.

The newly excavated soil can no longer be thrown out directly with a copper shovel, and someone needs to pull it out with ropes and pegs.

Han Cheng is not unfamiliar with drilling wells. This is mainly due to the fact that the government actively implemented a well-drilling policy when he was a child.

It seems that each family is asked to drill a well, and each well is subsidized with 100 yuan.

One hundred yuan at that time was not too small a sum, and it was quite a lot for a peasant family who had almost no other source of income except farming.

As a result, families in Murakami began to dig wells one after another, and Han Cheng's family was no exception.

I remember that the family was still growing shiitake mushrooms that year, and it was very busy, but the well at home was still dug out by my father.

The implementation of the policy of drilling wells is really an excellent policy.

Before the wells were not drilled, there were hundreds of people in the village, but there were only three wells in total.

What Han Cheng remembers most clearly is that the rooster crowed in the morning. As soon as the genius fainted, the family members got up and carried the buckets, and took the well rope to the well at the head of the village to fetch water for the family.

You can't go too late, because if you go too late, there will be no water in the well.

A few times I got up late, there was no water in the well, and the family was waiting to use water for cooking, so my father took a ladle and a bucket and pedaled down the edge of the well, and used the ladle to 'scrape' two buckets. Take the sandy, turbid well water back, and use it for cooking after clarification.

As for the water for drinking cattle, it is all brought back from the big pit in the village.

Later, every household dug wells, and the days of grabbing water for food at midnight were no longer needed. It was much more convenient to use water, and people became much more relaxed.

After Han grew up, he once asked his father why people in the village didn't know how to dig wells at home, and they all relied on the three ancient wells to grab water.

The answer I got was that at that time, I thought that drilling a well was very difficult, and it took a lot of drilling to get water.

As a result, I really started digging, only to find that drilling a well was much easier than I imagined.

For example, the well in Han Cheng's house was only a little over three meters away, and the water had already flowed out.

If I had known that drilling wells was so easy, I would have started drilling wells, even without subsidies.

This is what Han Cheng heard more than once from his father.

Standing by the side of the well being dug, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffing as he recalled the past.

Drilling a well is simple and easy to say, but sometimes it is not simple, such as encountering a stone layer when drilling down...

This is a real headache.

Fill it in and play it in another place. It's really a waste of time. Don't try it again. This slate is really a headache.

Fortunately, the chemical fertilizer called ammonium nitrate was still being produced and sold at that time, and they bought some sulfur and the like, set up a broken iron pot in the yard, and burned some fires underneath, so they could fry soil explosives by themselves. (I don’t know how it’s done in other places. We use an iron pan to mix and stir fry it. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, but it’s not very safe. I heard that frying and frying will collapse the house.)

Coupled with the detonator and fuse obtained from the stone factory, the stones in the well below can be blown up.

Of course, this process is somewhat thrilling, and it is easy to cause problems if the operation is not good.

For example, the Erbo's house, which is close to Han Cheng, didn't choose something to cover the well when they blasted the stones in the well.

As a result, after the cannon rang, the oxcart board used to cover the wellhead was blasted to pieces, and some flying stones fell on Han Cheng's house, smashing several tiles.

This is why Han Cheng sniffed.

At that time, ammonium nitrate fertilizer was available, and sulfur and charcoal could be bought. After mixing soil explosives, they could deal with the stone layer encountered in the well.

If your own tribe digs a well,

I also encountered a stone layer, which is uncomfortable.

Although I remember how to do it, there is no nitrate or sulfur, and only charcoal is useless.

It is also because of this that Han Cheng's mood at the moment is more disturbed. He always comes here to wander around when he has nothing to do, hoping that the water well will come out sooner and he will not encounter stone layers.

Otherwise, depending on the current conditions of the tribe, once encountered. Nine times out of ten, it is necessary to refill the well that has been dug deep, and then choose another place to dig, try your luck.

"Okay! Pull!"

After looking here for a while, there was a sound from inside the well.

The people guarding the mouth of the well, after hearing such a sound, began to grab the rope and pull it up vigorously, and the rope was tightly stretched.

After a while, the stump filled with soil came to the ground.

When the people on the top pull up the top of the tree, the people inside the well will stand close to the wall of the well and try not to stand under the top of the tree, lest the soil or the whole tree with the soil fall down and hit them. to people.

The person above put the soil-filled tree nut farther from the wellhead, took the rope with the hook off the curved handle of the tree tree, hooked another empty tree tree, and lowered it.

After finishing all this, the man took the arbor head filled with soil and went to another place, poured the soil pulled out of the well into a relatively low-lying place in the yard, and stepped on it with his feet.

It is not easy to lift up the soil one by one. The well is not deep enough now, so it is better to say something. When the well is deeper, it will be even more difficult to pull the soil up.

After standing here and looking at it for a while, Han Cheng remembered a simple tool that is often used in conjunction with the well - a pulley.

Han Cheng has seen things like potter's wheels, but not too many.

This is mainly because, after every household there began to dig wells, a better and more convenient water-drawing device than the potter's wheel appeared.

This kind of water-drawing device is called 'squeeze well' among them.

Because of the use of the principle of leverage, it is very easy to use the well to draw water. Only one hand is needed, and the water in the well can be pumped out without much effort, which is much faster than the faucet.

Moreover, there is a prerequisite for installing well killing made of pig iron and rubber, that is, a well platform above the ground needs to be built on the wellhead, and a relatively heavy cover should be placed on it.

In this way, not only can dust and other things be prevented from falling into the well, but there is no need to worry about children at home accidentally falling into the well.

Therefore, the potter's wheel, which has been used for many, many years to draw water from the well, was quickly eliminated.

However, what is eliminated in later generations is undoubtedly a sharp weapon in this era.

At least until the tribe has no ability to make a sharp tool for drawing water like 'squeeze the well', the simple, practical and inexpensive water-taking tool like the potter's wheel will not be eliminated.

It is really not easy for things like killing wells to appear in the tribe. For pig iron casting, wait until you find high-quality coal and iron ore, build blast furnaces, and point out the steel smelting technology, and the casting technology will be further improved. It is possible to create it even if it has been improved.

However, the rubber sheet covering the opening is really a big headache. Maybe you need to drive a small boat far away to find some back, and then there are a long list of technical problems and other things that need to be solved.

So, something like a technology tree really doesn't mean that you can click it out if you think about it, nor does it mean that you can do it if you know how to do it. You don't even have raw materials, so what's the use of knowing more? Not to stare blankly.

Instead of thinking about something unrealistic, it is better to first create some tools that can be put into practical use and improve productivity based on the existing conditions.

It is faster to find a good horse by riding a donkey than by walking on two legs.

Han Cheng naturally knew this truth, so after standing here for a while, he went back to the room and got a pen and paper to sketch the pulley.

The structure of something like a potter's wheel is very simple, and it can be regarded as an enlarged version of the car key of a very cool four-wheeled car hanging on the waist.

It's just that the part that is put into the front of the car and used to rock the car is longer, and the middle part is a cylinder that is many times thicker.

This is because if the part used to wind the rope on the potter's wheel is thick, more well rope can be wound on it with the same turn, and the bucket can be pulled out of it faster.

The structure of the potter's wheel is simple, and after repeated "honing", Han Dashenzi's painting skills have improved a lot, so Han Chengcheng sketched it without using too much effort, and then took it Go find the master craftsman who is lame.

Under Han Cheng's instructions, the second senior brother used meteorite to make saws and plane blades for carpenters.

Up to now, the carpenter's room has a whole set of tools made of meteoric iron.

Everyone in the carpenter's room headed by Lie has not recovered from the excitement of getting the meteorite tools. Every day, as soon as they walk into the carpenter's room and see the meteorite tools inside, they can't help but beat each other. Like chicken blood, the effect of morale bonus is simply not very good.

When Han Cheng walked in, several people were still busy working inside.

Even if there is not much work to do, in order to use some extremely convenient and easy-to-use meteorite tools, he will try his best to find some work to do.

Therefore, when they saw Han Cheng walking in with a blueprint, Lie and the others were extremely excited.

Because this not only means that they have made new things, but also means that they have more opportunities to use meteorite tools.

Han Cheng handed the blueprint in his hand to Lai, who watched it carefully, and the other carpenters gathered together to watch it, and the jingling carpenter's room became quiet.

"Do you understand?"

After a while, Han Cheng asked with a smile when he looked up lamely.

"Don't worry, Son of God, it will definitely be done!"

Lame now has the demeanor of a master craftsman, with the confidence that the top craftsman of the Qingque tribe should have, when he heard the question from the Son of God, he slapped his chest loudly as a guarantee.

A personality can be cultivated, and it also has a lot to do with its position.

For example, Lai became the most outstanding person in carpentry and weaving in the tribe. After his status in the tribe was greatly improved, Lai's temperament became different.

It's no longer the previous submissive, careful companionship, who didn't dare to look directly at things.

Instead, I have become confident and can walk straight.

If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have dared to push his spouse away just a few days ago.

"That's good. If you can make it as soon as possible, make it as soon as possible. After you make it, you can put it on the well.

However, the piece of wood used as a shaft must be made of strong wood, otherwise it will be bad if it breaks when lifting water on it. "

Han Cheng smiled and dealt with the lame.

The potter's wheel he saw in later generations had an iron rod as the middle shaft, and its overall structure was similar to that of a four-wheeled or tricycle that burns diesel. alike.

However, there are no big iron rods in the tribe, so they can only be replaced by wood.

Fortunately, using a potter's wheel to lift water will not be too much at a time. The jars used to lift water in the tribe can hold forty or fifty catties at a time, and they can't hold more. Wood can also be used as a shaft for load-bearing inside.

Limp nodded vigorously, expressing that he had understood the meaning of the son of God, and then he was busy with the meteorite tool.

First find a piece of solid wood that is as thick as an adult's arm, measure the length, and leave a mark on the thinner end, then let the cat's ear hold the meteorite saw and cut it off along the mark .

And he does the rest.

This kind of wood called copper wood is really very solid. Even with a saw made of meteorite, it took a lot of effort for the cat's ears to cut off the wood that is about the size of an adult's arm.

Han Cheng picked up the piece of copper wood that was about 30 centimeters long and held it in his hand.

It is very heavy to handle, far heavier than ordinary trees.

And at the truncated fracture, there are circles of fine annual rings.

These dense annual rings are almost next to each other, densely packed. Compared with fast-growing trees such as poplar and paulownia, the distance between two annual rings can be two to three centimeters, denser. too much.

Han Cheng roughly counted, and there are forty-three circles on this arm-thin copper wood.

That is to say, it has lived for forty-three years without looking very conspicuous.

No wonder it's so solid.

Han Cheng felt so emotional, and stretched out his hand to touch the annual rings that had been truncated, and there was some warmth on them.

This was scuffed by a saw not so long ago.

After the cat's ear cut the copper wood, under the order of the lame, it peeled off all the skin on it, and chopped off some bumps with an axe.

After chopping, use a small plane to smooth it down.

With the passage of time, now the minor who was embarrassed and shed tears because he couldn't draw the line, has now grown into the Qingque tribe, second only to the lame carpenter.

However, the ink fountain that Han Cheng brought with him had cracked after a long period of use.

Moreover, with the improvement of skills, the tribe later produced more and more exquisite ink fountains, but the ink fountain that looked rough and cracked and unusable, Mao Er has never been willing to throw away.

It was treasured by the cat's ears, and it was placed in the innermost part of the Kang where he slept, at the same level as his headrest.

When he was sleeping, as long as he turned his head, he would be able to see the ink fountain and remember what happened back then.

He was able to persevere in practicing his skills and reached the second position in the Qingque Tribe. This ink fountain and the words Shenzi said to him at the beginning played an extremely important role.

When working overtime to practice craftsmanship, there are many times when Mao Er feels that he is too tired, and thinks that he may not need to work so hard, and that he can take more rest like other people who learn carpentry.

But he never did.

That ink fountain, and what Shenzi had said to him, made Mao Er persevere.

After a long time of practicing crafts day after day, Mao Er suddenly found that he had gone a long way when he looked back.

People who learned carpentry earlier than me, as well as people who were more talented than me in this area, were surpassed by me without knowing it, and left far behind by me.

A person's life is both long and short.

In this life, you will meet many people and experience many things, but there are some things that can only be done by one person, and some roads that can only be walked by one person.

Taste loneliness alone, bear the pressure and pain on the way forward, survive the adversity, and when looking back, people tend to be proud of their persistence at that time.

I thank myself at that time for not stopping, not giving up halfway, but persevering all the way.

And often, when this state appears, it is also the time when a person grows the fastest and makes the most progress.

After Mao Er made the copper and wood shaft, Limp and some other people also made the outer column.

Pass the shaft of the copper wood through the middle of the log. After finding the position, mark it with a pen, and pull out the copper wood shaft from the middle.

Then the lame and the cat's ears, according to the marks made before, took an ax and a chisel to chisel holes on the copper wooden shaft and the outer cylinder.

Copperwood is too strong, so Lame uses meteoric iron axes and chisels.

The cat ears use a bronze ax and chisel.

As for the other carpenters, they started to make wooden nails with axes and other tools, and they helped Lame and Cat Ears.

After a while of clanging, the copper and wooden shaft and the holes outside were all punched.

They once again inserted the copper wooden shaft into the log with a diameter of about 20 centimeters, and adjusted it slightly so that the holes on the two were aligned.

Then the lame took a wooden nail and put it in, and nailed it firmly with the axe.

The excess part of the wooden nail is chopped off with an axe so that it is flush with the outer column.

After such a few rounds of wooden nails are set, the outer log is firmly combined with the copper wooden shaft.

You only need to install an L-shaped handle, and the main body of the potter's wheel becomes.

"Make some boards two centimeters thick and four centimeters wide, and cut them to the same length as the column above the potter's wheel.

After soaking the tung oil on the potter's wheel, put a piece on it at a distance of about two centimeters, fix it slightly, and then divide it into three or five with strong rattan, tie it firmly, and then rinse the whole body with tung oil . "

Seeing that everyone had already made these, Han Cheng, who was standing aside and did not leave, gave a new order aloud.

He didn't draw these things on the drawings before.

It's not that he wants to learn from the cat master, but because he didn't think of the use of these things when he was painting.

Now, he has figured it out, these wooden boards that are firmly bound outside are used to prevent that piece of log from cracking and making it unusable.

With the outer layer of separated and bundled wooden boards, even if the inner log is really cracked, it will not affect the use of the potter's wheel.

Moreover, with the addition of this layer of wood boards with a thickness of about two centimeters, the overall potter's wheel will become thicker, and it will become faster when winding the rope.

After understanding what Han Cheng meant, the lame people immediately started to follow suit.

These things are simple, and with a large number of people, the work can be divided, so after a while, they have already been done.

While completing these, another person also completed the shelf for supporting the potter's wheel.

It's very simple, it's two groups of cross-bound wooden sticks, presenting an X shape.

It's just that the intersection point should be higher. The most important thing to pay attention to is that the height of the intersection point of the two sets of shelves should be the same.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the heights are different. When fixing, just bury the higher side a little more underground.

Tung oil is very different from paint. After the paint is applied, it must not be touched before it dries. But if it is tung oil, as long as you don't mind getting some tung oil on your hands, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, under the operation of several people who wanted to see the effect of the potter's wheel earlier, the potter's wheel that had just been brushed with tung oil was put on the well in the kitchen.

Find a strong and long hemp rope, tie it firmly to the pulley, stir the pulley to wrap the rope around the pulley, and then it can be put into use.

Tie the top of the tree, which is filled with soil, to the rope wrapped around the potter's wheel, and then throw the handle. Under the action of gravity, the tree head will fall into the well.

At the same time, the rope is used to turn the potter's wheel at a high speed, and the potter's wheel will not stop until the head reaches the bottom of the well.

"Okay! Pull!"

After a while like this, the sound of filling the soil came from below.

The person who pulled the soil before seemed a little excited to hold the handle of this new tool, stirring it round and round, and the rope was wrapped around the pulley.

After a while, the stump filled with soil appeared above the mouth of the well.

The man held the handle of the potter's wheel with one hand, stretched out the other hand and pulled it out of the wellhead, and then took off the rope.

After completing this set of movements, the person's face flushed red.

Not because I'm too excited to use a new tool, but because I'm tired!
