163. Unexpected thought of the carriage

What Guan Lin invented was a carriage, but Guan Lin didn't expect it. ⊙, the source of the idea was that on the way back to the tribe, he saw a piece of rotten wood rolling down from a small hillside, and he startled Lan Yi, who came back together, Guan Lin didn't think of anything at that time, but comforted Lan a few words very carefully, just like the big sister comforted the little sister, it was very warm.

The reason why I thought of the carriage was because I suddenly thought of the carriage when the tribe was thinking about the door and tile, and at that time, I mainly thought that these things were relatively heavy, and it was very tiring to carry them completely by people, and Guan Lin, who had always cared about the tribesmen, suddenly linked the two things together, and it was natural to think of the carriage.

In fact, Guan Lin is more common to be the kind of flatbed truck with two wheels, which can be pulled by horses, cows, and people. When Guan Lin was young, she often saw adults pulling things with a flatbed cart, like crops, bricks, or something, basically you can't pull it, as long as you pull it.

In fact, horse-drawn carriages appeared very early in China, at least 3,000 years old. In addition to being used as a tool of war, the ancient carriage was mainly used by various magnates to go out and ride, and was a symbol of power and status. China's evil old society is very hateful, everything has to be pompous, artificially divided the common people into three, six, nine, and so on, and the speeches at the two meetings must be in a different order, making it look like something, and not allowing others to resist! This tradition continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and ordinary people in some northern cities still did not dare to ride the carriage without permission.

There were no four-wheeled vehicles found in ancient China. In the ware carvings of the Warring States period, some four-wheeled vehicles appeared. For example, the remnants unearthed in Changdao, Shandong, and the bronze ware unearthed in Gaozhuang, Huaiyin. However, the four-wheeled vehicle, which is in the shape of a dragon boat, is not used for daily life, but for ceremonial activities. This ceremonial use of four-wheeled vehicles in the Warring States period. It should have developed from the two-wheeled car of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Regarding the origin of the carriage, there are different theories, some say that we were first invented by Greater China, and some say that it was invented by the West, so there are two views of the local theory and the Western theory, each with its own point of view, and no one is sure how the carriage came out.

Stick to what you say locally. It is said that the carriage was invented by a person named in the Xia Dynasty of China more than 4,000 years ago, and it is two-wheeled, mainly because we have more hilly areas in Greater China. It is more suitable for the use of two-wheeled carriages. Later generations of passenger cars and chariots evolved from Xi Zhong's two-wheeled carriages. In the distant Western countries, probably because the terrain is relatively flat, they prefer four-wheeled carriages, and the shape is also good. More suitable for the taste of the locals. Good looks are good. But if you want to say who used the carriage first, it's really hard to say.

Guan Lin doesn't care who invented the carriage first, and doesn't care if the carriage is good-looking, what Guan Lin wants now is to make a carriage, and it is a real carriage, there are so many horses in the tribe, what do you do if you don't make a carriage, you can also sit in people after making it. How nice that is!

In fact, the structure of the carriage is still relatively simple, to put it simply. The structure consists of two wheels, an axle, a few planks, n nails, a horse and some ropes, which is the integral part of a complete carriage structure. You can also say complicated things, saying what you say, what you say, what you say is not understood by others, and you may not understand it yourself.

Guan Lin still found Old Doc first, and then drew the carriage to Old Doc as before. If it had been placed in the past, Old Dock would still be able to roughly understand the meaning of Guan Lin's painting. But this time, even Old Dock was a little confused, and he couldn't tell what it was painting at all.

This really can't be blamed on Lao Duoke, in the past, Guan Lin's paintings were very regular, either round or square, and occasionally a little deformed was also very simple. The carriage painted this time is different, not only round, but also square, the key is that there is one more piece here and there, Old Doc scratched his head several times and didn't understand, he had to look up at Guan Lin, as if he didn't understand!

Looking at Old Dock's appearance, Guan Lin realized that his painting this time was indeed a bit complicated, and it might be easy for him to understand, but for a prehistoric old man who had never seen a carriage, it was indeed difficult to understand, and it was estimated that he would not be able to understand it if he found a young one, or it would not be a long time before the carriage appeared.

Guan Lin thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution, which was to divide the carriage into several parts to draw, first drawing two wheels, then the axles, then the wheels, and finally the boards on the body. After the drawing, he pointed it out to Old Doc one by one, and Old Dock nodded while looking at it, and sure enough, he understood a lot.

There are several areas in the carriage that are the most critical, one is the wheel, the other is the axle, and if there is a problem with either of these two parts, the carriage will be reimbursed. The shaft and the wheel are the key and the most difficult to do, Guan Lin plans to hand over these two wheels to the old Doc and their elders to do, and the shaft and others, Guan Lin plans to find other clansmen to do it.

The two parts are difficult to do, and the difficulty lies in what materials are used to make them, which is more troublesome, Guan Lin remembers that I have seen costume TV series before, and the carriages seem to be made of wood, and the outside is equipped with rivets, as for what kind of tree is used, this Guan Lin really doesn't know, you can't just choose one at random, it's too irresponsible.

But fortunately, it is now the Stone Age, and everyone is more familiar with polishing stone tools, so after weighing it for a while, Guan Lin still plans to use a stone to grind two stone wheels to see, even the old Dock who can grind out the stone mill should not explain the problem, Guan Lin thought to himself.

The matter of the wheels was solved, Guan Lin went to find Zeng Quilt again, and asked him to find some wood to come back, to make axles and wheels, the harder the wood, the better, especially for axles, like stones. Speaking of being as hard as a stone, Guan Lin unconsciously thought of iron, if only there was iron, then there was no need to worry about breaking how many things were put on it, Guan Lin still remembers seeing someone pile up the flatbed truck like a hill when he was a child, and it can still be pulled away, and he never has to worry about the axle being broken, because it is made of iron.

It seems that if you have time, you should look for iron ore again, although there is copper now, it is okay to make daily necessities and knives and arrows, etc., if you use it to make an axle, it is estimated that it will not work, and it is estimated that some people can bend it. There are still a lot of places to work on, Guan Lin thought as she walked back to the house, and almost walked through.

You have to work hard all your life, or you don't know when others will surpass you. Just like now, just after solving the matter in the Chuanwei region, a ronin tribe has emerged coldly, and it is a ruthless character. If it weren't for this, where would there be so much more to do!
