Chapter 2375 Civilization Two-Piece Set
To build an ancient highway, the first thing is to fry the soil.
The first step is to kill the grass seeds in the soil. Only in this way can the highway be preserved for a long time instead of being buried by the grass.
It is really a very tiring job to build a highway, because the foundation needs to be built high and the soil needs to be fried. It is too much work for the four people who rely on infrastructure alone.
Fortunately, the surrounding resource sites are not too far from their residence, and Da Mu Da Shu wants to make a difference, so he follows Xiaochuan Gang's proposal to build a two-lane highway where two cars can intersect.
While cutting wood and frying the soil, Da Mu Da Shu found a problem: "It's called frying, but there is no pot at all." The primitive people still used pottery pots, which were fine for cooking, but they couldn't fry the soil at all. They were too small and not strong enough.
Unexpectedly, the great highway infrastructure encountered difficulties before it even started.
"You can use stone slabs, which are also heat-conducting." Xiaochuan Gang said that in addition to teppanyaki, there is also stone slabs, and there are even special delicacies that heat stones and mix stones with ingredients. The creativity of foodies is unlimited, and you can get inspiration from cooking methods.
Set up a huge stone slab, burn fire below, and stir-fry soil above.
"Good idea." A goddess is a goddess, and she is really as smart as Senku.
After the stir-frying, it still needs to be surveyed. The original path is not a road at all, it can only be said that there are too many people walking on it. Because of this, the path is bumpy and winding, and the location of the roadbed must be re-selected. For this reason, Da Mu Da Shu traveled to various resource points many times and thought about planning.
These tasks are overclocked for him. After all, his habit is that Senku uses his brain and he works. Now he thinks about using his brain to compete for favor with the primitive people, which is really unprofessional. Fortunately, Ogawa Gang has always supported him and secretly made plans for him. Finally, he helped him plan a complete set of highway plans.
The next step is the physical labor that Da Mu Da Shu is best at, using the stir-fried soil to lay the foundation, and then compact it, it will be a primitive highway.
The next step is to make wheels. Although there are no bearings, it doesn’t matter if it is a wooden cart. As long as it can be used, it’s fine. Having a wooden cart is much easier than carrying it on your shoulders and hands, which can improve the efficiency of transporting resources.
After all, if Senku were to say it, it would be too slow to use manpower to carry resources.
At the same time, a storm of civilization revival is also sweeping across the territory of the Lion King Si. Although a group of muscle thugs are awakened, there are still a few intelligent talents, such as the female reporter Beidongxinan. As a cultural person, she is very eager for the return of paper and pen.
"Without these two things, my work efficiency is too slow. Do you know what I am using now? Slate and slate pen. My wrist is about to break every time I write." She is a delicate female reporter. She has to hold a slate to take notes every time she works. It's too hard. She needs paper and pen: "I say you big men should think of a way. Isn't papermaking a very simple thing?"
Bingyue squinted and said: "The principle of papermaking is indeed very simple, which is to break the plant fibers and re-bond them. The problem is that we don't have a filter. You know, the Han Dynasty was able to invent paper entirely because they had easy-to-use materials like silk. And now we don't have any filters at all. How can we make paper?"
This is indeed a problem. In the industrial age, filters have become metal, plastic, and nylon.
Duran smiled: "Who said that the Han people used silk to make paper? They were not so extravagant. At most, the best paper was filtered with silk, and ordinary paper was filtered with bamboo mats."
Even after the 21st century, bamboo mats are still a must-have for many families. They are a kind of bamboo mat woven with bamboo strips.
Bamboo is a good thing with a wide range of uses. It can not only be used to weave tools such as backpacks, but also to weave bamboo mats for cooling off, make bamboo chairs and bamboo beds for resting, build bamboo houses for living, make bamboo ladders for climbing, weave sieves, make bamboo paper, and even use it as a weapon.
In short, there are many interesting and practical uses, and bamboo is not uncommon in island countries, so as long as you find bamboo, you will find the universal material of ancient times.
Duran is different from Ishigami Senku. Ishigami Senku likes to gamble on the right time, right place and right people. Duran's technology is much lower-end, starting with papermaking.
The only problem now is that stone tools are not good at slicing bamboo. To weave bamboo, you must first slice the bamboo thinly. Without sharp iron weapons, slicing bamboo becomes difficult.
"Bamboo is easy to find." Bingyue's spear is covered with a bamboo section. This is his special tube spear. The bamboo tube is used as a grip, which allows the spear to be flexible and unpredictable. He can lead everyone to find bamboo, but the problem is how to process it to make it thinner.
"Let's use stones. We can't use stones as knives. We have to fix the stones at one point." Duran proposed a new idea, which is to fix the sharp stones and move the bamboo that can exert force better, and use this method to process bamboo.
First, align the bamboo with the fixed stone blade, and then push the bamboo hard.
Although it is not as convenient as an iron blade, this processing can barely achieve the required thickness.
But this cannot be processed yet. The next step is high-temperature baking to carbonize the surface of the bamboo to prevent the bamboo from mildew and insects.
Then it is weaving, using the cross-crossing method to weave the bamboo pieces into bamboo mats.
The extra bamboo debris is used to soak in water, boil, beat, and then add some messy leaves, all smashed, and then boil water and stir continuously.
Finally, use a bamboo mat to scoop out the liquid, let it sit and dry, and you will get rough paper.
Then we made pencils, mainly the refills. Generally speaking, the refills of pencils are made of clay and graphite mixed in proportion. However, the Lion King Division does not have a resource person, so we can only think of other ways to replace it, so we use burnt black charcoal instead of graphite.
The black charcoal is crushed into powder and then mixed with the clay found around. It is like soft black plasticine or black dough. After kneading, it is rolled into thin strips and dried. Then cut two pieces of wood, dig a groove in the middle, put the dried thin refills into the groove, and glue the two pieces of wood together with natural glue.
The so-called natural glue is actually resin. Collect it and heat it to make glue. When it cools, it can solidify the object.
"National Master, National Master..." Duran is worthy of being the inventor of pencils and paper. When everyone saw the appearance of these two products that best represent civilization, they immediately cheered.
During this period of time, they were too depressed to prepare for winter. They finally had two great inventions, and they couldn't help but want to vent. Surrounding Duran, they cheered and howled.
Duran said he was very tired. He could have made something in a few minutes with his superpowers. Now he had to use resources from nature to recreate it. The low-quality paper and pencils alone had already wasted so much effort. It was really not easy for primitive people.
However, Duran said he was still quite good. With this level of construction, he would still be a great god even without superpowers to travel through primitive society. Because he did not use superpowers throughout the whole process, Duran was proud of himself. He thought that the daughters in front of the TV saw their father's heroic figure. He did not rely on superpowers to make a living. If he was serious, he could also build a civilization from scratch.
