Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 111 Skiers and Hand Drills

Next, Ding Qi tried to repeat several actions such as straight sliding, plow smoothing, turning, braking, falling, and standing up, and reviewed the essentials of them. After he became more and more proficient, Ding Qi bent and stretched, quickly operated the ski poles, slid in front of the tribal courtyard, and rushed directly to the grassland below the slope, alarming the busy people in the courtyard.

"Wow! That's amazing! ”

"Is this the boss? He's so fast! What is he stepping on? ”

"The leader's posture is so handsome! I'm going to be his woman! ”

Ding Qi stepped on a long snowboard, his hands slid back and forth, his hands and feet coordinated harmoniously, and the graceful gliding posture was displayed in front of the eyes of the clansmen who rushed out of the tribe gate, causing bursts of exclamations from the clansmen.

His figure suddenly floated to the left and to the right, and his body was vigorous, calm and sophisticated. The body swaying from side to side stirred up bursts of black snow waves, and the body that floated lightly flew like a feather in the sea of snow.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Qi had already arrived at the location of the lake. Tinch didn't stop, and after turning to the right, he continued to swing his ski poles and glide along the lake towards the west.

Time froze at this moment, the whirring wind disappeared, Ding Qi's brain was blank, at this moment he felt like a spirit who controlled the sea of snow, waving wings as thin as cicada wings, flying above the snow waves, jumping and moving, and walking suddenly.

A big detour, a large wave of snow rose, and Ding Qi's figure stopped steadily on the snow.

It's like a skier who has been buried and traveled to a primitive world!

In the distance, the people at the gate of the tribe cheered. Ding Qi once again conquered the human beings in primitive society with his practical actions and magic, and made them cover a veil of mystery over Ding Qi's divine might.

I don't know who fell to the ground first, followed by one by one, all kneeling on the snow, muttering to themselves, and finally humming a magnificent ballad to the rhythm of the witch.

The ballad is an ancient tale of their own tribe's ancestors who fought against wild beasts and against the cruelty of nature. The song is like a whisper, high and low, soothing and tactful, like a buzz in a silent place, like silence in a noisy place.

By the end, the tone of the song gradually resonates from low to high, from soothing to high-pitched. The sound waves generated by the resonance spread out in all directions, stirring up the snow on the trees like clouds and mist, and did not stop for a long time.

And on everyone's face, two lines of tears slipped down, which were tears of happiness and hope.

By the time the song fell, Tinch had come back to the forefront. The crowd didn't get up, they bowed their bodies, called Aragami in their mouths, and respectfully welcomed Ding Qi into the tribe.

Ding Qi was very puzzled, he was really flattered that he was so flattered that he was involved in such a big battle by his clansmen when he came back from skiing. Everyone should gradually get used to these tools by themselves, otherwise every time they come up with a novelty, everyone will come out like this, and I personally can't stand it!

Ding Qi gathered everyone together, picked up the skis in his hand and said to everyone:

"The thing I have in my hand is called a snowboard, which helps us walk quickly on the snow, unlike when we usually step on the snow and always get stuck in it. This is what the Great Father taught me, and He taught me and then taught it to all of you, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience of snow travel. God said that there will be better things to teach you in the future, so you don't have to bow down every time, you just need to know that we can get more of these new things. ”

As soon as Ding Qi's words fell, everyone fell to the ground again, making Ding Qi cover his face, and he was still energetic?

Ding Qi had no choice but to beckon to Jing and lead him to his cabin. Jing is a more drilled person, and he can see it when he built a house before, and he likes to study and ponder these novel things. Tinch brought him in to teach him how to make skis and poles.

After sawing the planks and cutting them to the right size, Ding Qi took out the planer and taught him how to use it. Jing is very smart, and after Ding Qi demonstrated it a few times, he began to get started on his own. It was a little clumsy at first, but after ten minutes, I was able to become proficient.

The clatter of wood planing was constantly heard, and the flying shavings soon covered the ground under the table. Seeing Jing immersed in it, Ding Qi turned around and took out a piece of wood, ready to make another planer.

The second time I made it, I took some detours, and my experience was improved, so the speed of the second planer was relatively fast, and it took half a day to do it. However, unlike the first one, this planer is short, with the same width and height, but only 15 centimeters in length.

I've been saying that Ding Qi has a more accurate grasp of the size of a certain thing, but it's actually because Ding Qi is based on his fist. Ding Qi clenched his fist, raised his thumb up, bent it downward, and clasped his index finger tightly, with a distance of ten centimeters from the back of his thumb to the bottom of his palm, no more than two to three millimeters up and down. Taking this as a standard, Ding Qi made two rulers 10 centimeters and 20 centimeters long from bamboo chips, which are convenient for him to use in his daily life.

This time, Jing came to learn how to make snowboards, and Ding Qi also made him two identical rulers to use.

The small planer made by Ding Qi is mainly to facilitate the processing of some small pieces of wood.

After this small planer was made, Jing also planed some of the sawn planks according to the size, and the three pairs of skis were basically formed. The next thing that needs to be done is to bake the front end of the board so that it is bent to an angle to keep out the snow. The only thing that is more difficult is that you need to burn a few holes in the pedals, which is time-consuming, laborious and error-prone.

Ding Qi thought about it, if he made a hand drill, he could easily solve this problem. Ding Qi pondered for a long time, he needed a drill bit, and this hand drill would be half the battle. Drill bits can only be metal, and the only tools currently available can be used if they can be cut off from a finished bronze saw and polished into the shape of a drill bit. But it's not so easy to cut it off, you need to put an axe on the saw blade and smash it hard with another axe to get it.

Why didn't you think of this method when you made your first pair of skis before? Not really, at that time, Ding Qi was patronizing and thinking about how to get a tool with holes, and he didn't think about it at all. This is the famous phenomenon of darkness under the lamp, and the thinking is limited to that point.

Now that he is making skis with Jing, his own mind has expanded and he remembers the hand or thread drills used by the carpenters in his rural neighborhood. So is there a more suitable tool to make a hand drill?

What is biased towards modernity can only be found in modern backpacks. Ding Qi thought as he took out his 3D attack pack and rummaged through it, and as soon as he picked up the vise, he fixed his eyes on the flathead screwdriver that was tied to the vise.

Isn't this just an off-the-shelf drill bit?

In order to defend against wolves, Ding Qi sharpened the front end of the screwdriver and tied it to a stick to use it as a spear, and after the wolf crisis was resolved, Ding Qi removed it and put it back in his backpack, if it wasn't for this time to find a drill tool, he really couldn't remember it.

The screwdriver is relatively short, and there is still a distance from the requirements of the hand drill, and a piece of wood needs to be added to it as a grip, and then the rope can be pulled to drive the hand drill to rotate quickly to achieve the purpose of drilling out the hole.

Ding Qi chose bamboo as the grip, the bamboo is hollow, can insert a screwdriver into it, and the bamboo body is smooth, when pulling the rope has less resistance, it is easier to use. But this kind of bamboo is not easy to find, according to the size of the screwdriver handle, cut five bamboos before and after, cut more than a dozen bamboo joints to find a suitable one, can be stuffed in and can be tightly fitted, so as not to slip.

The hand drill is similar to the bow drill, but the rope is not a bow, but a wooden stick, the rope is also tied to both ends of the stick, the tightness of the rope is wrapped around the hand drill to collapse tightly, too loose or not wrapped is not suitable. This is like using a belt to drive, if it is loose, it will not be able to transmit power, and if it is tight, the belt will not be hung on the bearing, and it will not work.

There is also an Iroquois-style hand drill, except that it has to punch holes in the horizontal plate of the drill pipe and make an accelerator, which is not suitable for the screwdriver that Tinch currently has.

After the hand drill was done, Ding Qi tried it on a wooden board, pulled the lever, pulled the rope, and the drill bit turned very much, and a squeaky sound sounded.

Since it was the first time to use it, it was still a bit difficult to pull the rope, and Tinch had to hold down the drill pipe hard to keep it from deflecting. As he became more and more proficient in using it, the drill pipe pulled faster and faster, and the wood chips from the drill kept flipping out of the borehole and spilling around, and in a short time, the plank was drilled out of an eye.

Jing next to him was stunned, and he didn't understand why such a combination could quickly drill a hole. He pinched himself unconsciously, it hurt, proving that everything in front of him was true. Jing couldn't help but want to kneel down, but was pulled by Ding Qi, who was quick-eyed.

After he had made four holes in the protrusion of a pair of skis, Ding Qi handed the drill to Jing and asked him to try it out, and when he understood that it wasn't too magical, he would use it as a tool, not as something he would always be in awe.

Ski poles are even simpler, and you can make a pair in no time.

After Jing actually made a pair of skis, Ding Qi gave him the work and made a bench in front of him so that Jing could use the planer, and the table he used before was returned to Ding Qi to continue to use as a table. Jing made a pair of skis for each member of the hunting team according to Ding Qi's request, and the length and size were the distance from the ground to the tip of the person's nose.

The newly made three pairs of skis were given to Ben, Cang and Red Deer for use. Over the course of three days, Tinch taught the three of them how to use their skis and glide back and forth on the grass down the slopes, allowing them to master the essentials of skiing. Especially to practice the fall pose, all three of them practiced for at least a day, and their noses and faces were swollen.

Fortunately, even a skiing skill can cause physical trauma or even loss of life due to sudden accidents. Schumacher, for example, suffered a serious head injury in a skiing accident, but fortunately woke up five years later.

After nearly a month of development, the tribe has become more and more stable and vigorous. The hunting team members are like wolves, and under the large amount of food supplement and intensive exercise, their physical fitness has been rapidly improved, and their discipline has been greatly enhanced. The level of personal fighting, hunting, and tracking has been greatly improved, and he has the military quality of an ordinary soldier in the 21st century, but it is still far from Ding Qi's requirements or his own combat ability.

The support group led by Hua has also changed a lot, and everyone's mental state is very sufficient, providing great support for the growth of the hunting team and slaves, and at the same time, a set of warmer animal skin clothes has been prepared for everyone. The two horses, including Tinch, were fed very well, and now they will not run away even after their reins and horses are untied, and life is too nourishing.

The two bears grow very fast under careful care and care, and Ding Qi will take time to interact with them every day, and appear in front of them as soon as they open their eyes, becoming the first human father that the bear has seen, making Ding Qi too addicted to dads and has the momentum of developing towards super dads. Fortunately, as long as there is food, they are not sticky, and under the care of the support team, they grow fatter and rounder.

And with the efforts of Deer and Snow, everyone in the tribe has mastered the daily vocabulary of fifty words and addition and subtraction within 20. Later, Ding Qi gave them a few more small stoves, adding 20 Chinese characters and counting and addition and subtraction within 50, so that they could lead the tribesmen to study hard.

The slaves are also doing very well, and they are working towards becoming official members of the tribe.
