Chapter 669: A Wall Different from the Past
For the location of the furnace in the Tongshan residential area, Han Cheng has already made a choice.
Between the copper mountain and the tin mine is a relatively flat piece of land, where the furnace will be built.
Generally speaking, the construction of industrial parks, if it requires a large amount of raw materials, will generally choose to build factories in raw material production areas, and some will choose to build factories in places with convenient transportation.
The Qingque tribe will now come here to develop the ditto settlement, which is raw material-oriented.
The furnace was built at the foot of the copper mountain, which is close to the copper mountain and slightly farther away from the tin ore, because when smelting bronze, copper consumption is generally large.
The furnace was built here, and people only had to pour the excavated copper ore down the hillside, which was very convenient.
When he was making the stove, Heiwa gave a suggestion, he felt that he should first build a small wall outside the cave of the Teng Snake Tribe, after all, this cave will be inhabited by the people of the tribe for a long time.
The people of the Qingque tribe have long been deeply aware of the wall, so now as soon as they settle outside, they want to make a wall or a wall-like protective measure, without this, they always feel unstable.
Heiwa's suggestion is actually almost the same as the steps when the Qingque tribe first made a fortune, first build a wall outside the cave, enclose things, and then slowly build a house inside the wall, so that people can move out and live in the house.
Of course, there was no problem with this method in the past, but it is somewhat inapplicable when applied to the Tongshan residential area.
There is no doubt that the core of the Copper Mountain residential area is copper and tin mines, so the building should also be centered on these two things, or the furnace.
The cave of the original Teng Snake Tribe was almost four miles away from the place where Han Cheng had chosen the Plate Furnace.
Such a distance is okay in a short time, but it is not suitable for a long time.
First, as long as the copper furnace is burned, generally speaking, it will start refining 24 hours a day, day and night, and someone must guard it at all times, and it is not very convenient to live and refine the copper place too far.
The second is the safety of the furnace and the people who make the copper.
The round-the-clock nature of copper smelting predestined for a two-shift or three-shift system, which meant that it was impossible for these people to work at the same time.
If the distance between the residential area and the copper smelting place is too far, it will lead to the dispersion of manpower, and it is good not to encounter enemies on weekdays, but once the enemy is attacking, it will be a little dangerous.
Thirdly, for the sake of the safety of personnel, a fence should also be built around the furnace, so that two walls need to be built.
This is undoubtedly very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Therefore, Han Cheng's idea is to put the industrial area and the residential area into the same compound, with people living on one side and copper smelting on the other.
The establishment of industrial zones downwind can reduce the impact of pollution on people to a certain extent.
In fact, compared with later generations, the 'industrial area' that the Qingque tribe will build is really simple and pitiful, and the scale is also pitiful, and the corresponding pollution can be extremely limited.
Even if it's a close life, it won't cause too much harm.
After Han Cheng said that he considered himself, he thought about it for a while, and nodded in admiration, the son of God is the son of God, he only thought that there would be nothing wrong if he followed the original way, but now it seems that things are not what he thinks......
After choosing the address and deciding what to build first, on the third day of coming to Tongshan, the people of the Qingque tribe began to get busy under Han Cheng's arrangement.
Heiwa and the other two were making a stove, and the rest of the people were building the wall according to the line drawn by Han Cheng.
The people who came to the Tongshan residential area this time were not only twenty citizens and fifteen slaves led by Senior Brother Sha, but also ten people led by Han Cheng.
Han Cheng came to preside over the overall situation, Heiwa came to pankang, and the rest of the people were to protect Han Cheng's personal safety.
It is very necessary for these eight people to protect Han Cheng's personal safety, because after getting on the right track here, Han Cheng and Heiwa will return to the tribe in advance.
When they returned to the tribe, it would definitely not be possible to walk with only the two of them, even if Han Cheng had such a big heart, the rest of the tribe would not agree.
The eight people who came out, in addition to guarding Han Cheng's safety on the way back, could also devote themselves to the early development of the Tongshan residential area at this time.
In this way, coupled with Han Cheng, a person who does not work hard enough, the number of people who can participate in the construction of the wall has reached forty-two.
Forty-two men were strong adults, and the walls were built very quickly.
Of course, the progress of the wall here in the Tongshan residential area is fast, in addition to the large number of people involved in the construction, the scale is far less than the large wall being built by the Qingque tribe, and another reason is that the materials used are different.
At the foot of the copper mountain, there are stones all over the place, and none of them are particularly large.
There are ready-made building materials, and of course Han Cheng will not let people dig and ram earth to make fences.
If there is enough stone, it is much faster to build a wall with stone than rammed earth, at least twice as fast.
Because the stone only needs to go to that base, unlike the earth wall, after digging the earth, it has to be rammed at a time, for fear that it will not be strong.
When a stone is piled up, it takes a while for the rammed earth to reach the same volume.
And I think for rammed earth, the stone is stronger and can withstand wind and rain.
Many foreign civilizations in later generations were made of stone, and many of them have survived because they are strong and difficult to shake.
On the other hand, Han Cheng's motherland has a long history, and many exquisite and gorgeous buildings have emerged, but because most of them are carved beams and paintings, many of them have been blown away by the rain and wind.
Afang Palace, which covered more than 300 miles, fell into a torch of a Chu person, and the end of the poor scorched earth, the pearl-like Old Summer Palace, met two robbers......
Another advantage of stone walls is that no one dares to dig holes in the walls, just like the cattle thieves of later generations will never choose stone houses to start with.
Because then you might be stoned to death.
As the clock ticked by, the sun set in the west, the sunset shone orange and red, and the evening breeze blew, bringing coolness to the people who were carrying stones and trying to build their own other home.
"Keep it up!"
With leather gloves, he put a hundred and ten pounds of stone on the wall, and supported it with small stones, Senior Brother Sha, looked at everyone and said loudly.
It is most comfortable to work in the morning and at this time of the day, of course, you have to do more while it is cool......
