Volume 2 Planting Chapter 145 The Sheep Who Can Plow the Land (Proofreading)
Just after Wang Tian finally completed the second printing and dyeing of the bridal dress, the time was almost dusk, and the thatch harvesting group and the forage collection group of Slender Toutuo returned to the tribe one after another, and after the efforts of the second brother King Kong and Liu Bei, the two curved plows were finally made.
So the two of them carried the Quyuan plow and Wang Tian together led the pony to the cultivation area, and the three of them couldn't wait to verify whether the Quyuan plow was easy to use.
The people in the cultivation area who were about to finish their work saw that the Son of Heaven had brought two more strange tools, and they all gathered around to watch.
After Wang Tian greeted everyone, he directly started to put the rope at the front end of the Quyuan plough on the body of the little Fuma and assemble it.
In order to facilitate the little Fu Ma's efforts, the rope was put on the shoulder of the little Fu Ma, and Wang Tian moved the plough backwards to the end, so that the plow shovel was completely lifted up and no longer in contact with the ground.
Wang Tian pushed the Quyuan plough to the starting point of the ploughing, pushed the plough forward again, and set the depth of the ploughing to 10 cm.
For the first use, first choose the shallowest depth of ploughing, so that there is a run-in process between the various parts of the curved plow.
"Drive!" After a shout from the blue sky, Xiao Fuma began to move forward in a straight line with the curved plow, the plow bed began to move, the plow shovel gradually went 10 cm deep into the ground, and moved forward at a uniform speed under the pull of the little Fu horse.
Wang Tian stood behind the Quyuan plow, after starting Wang Tian held the plow with one hand, followed the movement of the Quyuan plough and walked around, the plough shovel went deep into the ground, moved forward with the pull of the little Fu horse, and continuously shoveled up the soil.
After the turned out soil touched the plough wall, it was pushed into the curved plough twice, and the little Fuma looked relaxed, as if there was nothing dragging behind it.
Everyone looked at the soil that was constantly being shoveled up, and their hearts were stunned, this tool is so easy to use, it only needs a child, and it can be easily controlled.
And it seemed to be effortless, in a blink of an eye, a straight line of ploughing work had been completed, and after reaching the other end of this acre of land, Wang Tian stopped, took the meter ruler handed over by the second brother, and measured the traces that had been plowed.
The width and depth are in line with the set standards, and then the second brother holds the curved plough and pushes the plough forward one gear, and the set depth of ploughing is 20 cm.
The plough moved again, this time at a slower pace, but it felt like the little Fuma was still as relaxed as ever, and he didn't pause in his walk.
Wang Tian continued to measure the depth of the excavation in the back, and it still met the requirements, and the people who followed Xiao Fuma moved, after seeing that the depth of the ground had doubled this time, the speed of turning the ground had no effect, and their faces all showed expressions of disbelief.
With this depth, if everyone uses a hoe to plough easily, they can reach the depth required by the Son of Heaven, and they don't know how many times faster and how much effort they save than plowing with manpower alone.
Even with a manual plow, this speed could not be reached, and after the completion of the second experiment, Wang Tian did not stop, and continued to push forward one gear, this time to a maximum depth of 30 cm.
This time it is obvious that Xiaofu is more difficult, the speed of movement is much slower than the second time, and the digging depth measured by Wang Tian is also 30 cm, seeing Xiaofuma's hard look, it seems that this is its maximum limit.
Wang Tian followed the little Fu Ma forward, and found that the position of the rope was not reasonable, if it was a cow, the rope was naturally no problem on the shoulder, but the horse's shoulders were not as wide as the ox, and the horse's strength lay in the position on both sides of the waist.
The position of the rope should be adjusted, Wang Tianshang took a bundle of straw rope from the factory, and knitted a rope sleeve according to the body of the little ancestral horse, and the position of the rope was moved from the shoulder to the waist from both sides, further moving the center of gravity of the force downward.
Then the experiment was carried out again, this time still struggling, but the little Fuma no longer had the difficult neighing, and he was no longer panting in the action, and it seemed that he could continue to carry on.
If the small horse does not become smaller like Wang Tian, it should still be possible to drive the continuous work of the Quyuan plow.
For the current situation, in order to ensure that the little Fu Ma is not injured and can continue to work, Wang Tian arranged one person on the left and right of the Xiao Fu Ma to use ropes to assist in traction.
This time, it was as labor-saving and fast as the first time, and the two assistants didn't feel the slightest effort, it felt like walking normally.
In fact, only one person's auxiliary strength is sufficient, but in this way, there will be an unequal force.
Everyone saw that the effect of this experiment was all sensational, although two people were added, but it was also several times faster than before, and if you want to achieve this speed with manpower alone, it is not such a simple matter as adding two more people.
Only then did the chief understand why the Son of Heaven had to get bison and wild horses, and that horses were needed to transport lime wood in the tribe, and horses were needed to collect thatch and fodder.
If there are 10 cows in the tribe now, then the ploughing will be very easy, after all, the ox is much stronger than the horse, the horse is explosive, and the ox is the endurance.
Looking at the remaining pair of curved ploughs, Wang Tian thought in his heart whether he could use sheep to plough the land, and the strength of the goats themselves was actually not small. If you can't take one, then what about five! If you can't do it, there will be 10 of them, won't there be dog sleds in the future?
Wang Tian asked Huzi to bring five strong goats from the tribe and a bundle of straw ropes, and specially instructed the first goat to be brought over.
This head sheep was not seriously injured last time, the wound has scarred in the past few days, and it is just taken out for a walk, and it is not good to eat and live for nothing every day, whether it is a person or an animal, the Tianlong tribe has to work hard.
Five goats were brought over, and along with the tiger, as well as men, women, and children in the tribe, everyone heard that the Son of Heaven was going to use sheep to plough the land, and they all came to see the excitement, and the five little wolves and two little tiger cubs ran in the front.
The two little tiger cubs were about to step forward to use their standard movements against Wang Tian, but they were hugged in their arms by Ling'er, who hurried over.
Ling'er knew that Brother Tianzi didn't have time to take care of them now, so he hurriedly came out to rescue them.
Wang Tian asked the goat to take the grass in front and feed it to the goat, and he put a rope on it according to the size of the goat's body.
The first goats went smoothly, and the four goats behind them also went smoothly when they were on the rope, and after a few days of getting along, these goats saw that the humans did not hurt them, and they were no longer afraid of humans.
Wang Tian placed the head sheep in front of the middle, and the other four goats were distributed on both sides of the head sheep in the shape of arrows, and two ropes came out of each sheep, which were attached to the plows at the front end of the plough wheel.
In order to keep the goats obedient and straight, Wang Tian had people bring a long thin bamboo pole, tie a bunch of grass with a rope, hang it in front of the sheep, and tie the other end of the bamboo pole to the curved plow.
The sheep will keep moving forward when they are staring at the grass in front of them, and the person holding the curved plough controls the direction of the sheep by turning the grass on the plow.
The experiment was very successful, except for the messy ploughing at the beginning, everything went smoothly, and the physical strength of the 5 goats was no worse than that of the little Fuma.
The crowd was stirred up again, and the Son of Heaven once again succeeded in driving the flock to contribute to the tribe, and with great force, the people of the ploughing group were even more excited beyond words, and with these livestock and these two advanced zigzag ploughs, the work of clearing the land would be much easier.
Beside the five ploughing sheep, five wolf cubs are running, sometimes walking side by side with the goats, sometimes surpassing the past, standing in front of the goats, as if showing off their freedom like goats.
The head sheep completely ignored this, and seemed to be completely unable to see the appearance of the five little wolf cubs, and the sheep no longer felt scared when they saw these seven little pets.
The 5 wolf cubs slept on the edge of the sheepfold at night, but now the 5 wolf cubs are a little afraid of the sheep.
The wolf and the sheep are in the same circle, which can be regarded as a strange landscape in the Tianlong tribe, Wang Tian is very satisfied with this, because once he finds that the wolf is mouthing the sheep, Wang Tian will definitely not be merciful, once the little wolf tastes blood, what kind of reaction they will make in the future, no one can predict.
For an unstable factor that could threaten the lives of the tribesmen at any time, Wang Tian could only make decisive means......
