Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 13 The Birth of the First Iron Tool? (Proofread)

The reason why bamboo is so difficult is that the backwardness of the production tools has caused the backwardness of the productive forces, which in turn restricts the improvement of the production tools. It seems to be a dead knot. Every progress of civilization is hard and slow. Wang Tian hoped that his arrival would accelerate the progress of civilization.

To build a wall, you have to cut down a lot of wood and bamboo, and it's time to build a metal axe. And the materials needed, Wang Tian naturally thought of the gun he brought. It is now used as a hoe.

After making up his mind, Wang Tian's thoughts finally drifted back, put the finished bamboo ring into the back basket and open it, fixed the position with rattan three points, and then picked up a longitude bamboo strip from the outside to the inside through the bamboo circle and pulled it tightly together with the two circles of latitude bamboo strips, and through continuous winding, interspersed and tightened, to the next longitude position, leaving a twenty cm connection position and breaking the excess part. The length of the connection is inserted into the gap between the bamboo ring and the frame, and the second longitude strip tightens the bamboo ring, the connector strip and the latitude bamboo strip. Repeat this circle to complete the closing of the back basket.

Next, bend the two finger-wide pieces of bamboo into the shape of a strap, leaving enough length to break. These two pieces of bamboo are one shoulder width apart, opposite to the direction of the longitude bamboo piece, and after bending into a strap, the green part of the bamboo piece is facing outward. First, insert one end into the weft strip at the bottom third of the frame, and after weaving the positive and negative crosses several times, the remaining length is divided into the size of the latitude bamboo piece width with a knife. Through the gaps that had been braided, I walked along the latitude bar again.

This final process must be done with care. Otherwise, the strap is not tightened and can easily come out after a few uses. It is a very important part of evaluating the level of a craftsman to close the mouth well.

A back basket is finally complete. Wang Tian has only seen others do it, and he has never done it himself, so he has to do it almost the same.

Although he was not very satisfied, the people of the tribe who watched the birth of this finished product were surprised one by one.

One by one, I took turns to try and try on my back. The women thought that with this treasure, it would be easier to collect wild fruits, and the men thought that in the future, they would hit the small animal and put it in the bamboo basket behind their backs, so that they would not have to dangle it around their waists and interfere with the hunt. A group of children thought they should be able to stand inside, and if only the adults could take them to hunt!

Wang Tian smiled and waited for everyone to experience it, then took it and scraped and polished the flesh on the inside of the strap with a knife to prevent pricking hands.

After everyone saw the various advantages of the finished product, they worked more energetically. Wang Tian also guides one or two on the side from time to time, and teaches himself where he can't. After a while, ten baskets were carried, and two baskets were completed. Wang Tian was quite satisfied after the inspection, and with the growth of time, he will get better and better after becoming more experienced.

Wang Tian gave a thumbs up and praised everyone, including the men who cut the bamboo and took the stalks. Most of the first-class craftsmen in later generations were men, and at this stage, as the main labor, this is impossible. Everyone looked at the objects they had made with their own hands and smiled toothlessly.

Wang Tian found that there were also unhappy people in the crowd, and after a little look, he found that it was the two people who made the basket, and other people's could carry them behind them, and his own one was too big, and he didn't have a strap yet, and he saw everyone carrying the basket he made, with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Wang Tian found a few relatively small but resilient rattans. Use the way of braiding twist to form three strands into a strand, respectively tied to the basket two, and pick up half of the bamboo, use a saber to saw a section as a flat shoulder, use a knife to sharpen the two ends, make a bayonet of the rope, remove the burr and polish the smooth and put aside. Among the timber cut back in the morning, select two branches with hooks at the ends, and cut them with a knife to make a pair of flat hooks. It was tied to the two ends of the pole, and after a demonstration, it was handed to one of the women, and then Kuroko and Xiaoling were allowed to sit in a basket. Then he motioned for the woman to pick it up.

The two royal spokespersons were a little uneasy at first, but waited until they were picked up like picking something, and walked a few steps steadily. The tension disappeared, and I got up cheerful as the flat shoulder shook rhythmically.

After everyone found out that this kind of thing could hold more and heavier, they all gave a thumbs up to its weaver to learn from Wang Tian! But the two of them were so happy, it turned out that what they did was not worse than others!

Next, the adults rushed to carry the burden, and the children rushed to sit in the basket and have a good time. After a while of the crowd's troubles, Wang Tian stopped the crowd, pointed to the flat pole and said, "Flat Dan, basket, back basket, rope, hook, pick" refers to one by one, and after everyone is clear, he reviewed the bamboo again, and the reading of the bamboo strips. Started his Mandarin teaching.

Then he pointed to the fishing place under the observation deck and said, "Carry the fish, and pick the fish with a flat pole." Everyone understands this sentence. The crowd cheered

With a full sense of accomplishment, Wang Tian came to the fishing place.

This is the rhythm of going to the treasure!

The fishing team was divided into three groups because of the relatively sufficient manpower, two groups of people took turns digging holes, and one group of people picked up fish. There are enough manpower, and a total of five places have been dug today. It seems that the hoe can also be used to smelt and make axes.

Seeing the arrival of Wang Tian and everyone, their faces all showed the joy of a bumper harvest, Wu pulled Wang Tian up with a smile on his face and came to the fish pile, and grabbed a fish that was seven or eight catties long, which was indeed a surprise to have this harvest in this kind of stream that was no more than two meters wide.

“@$@。。。。。。。。。”

Wu said excitedly.

Wang Tian listened to it with a guess, to the effect that he thanked the gods for giving the tribe food, and thanked the almighty god for blessing him...

In a word, there will be sacrifices again tonight.

Anyway, Wang Tian has traveled over for the past few days, and he has been sacrificing every day, and he is used to it.

One by one, the people in the weaving group showed their works to the witch as if they were offering treasures. A smile appeared on his face, expecting Wu's praise. Wu learned that these bamboo products were made by Wang Tian with everyone, his expression became solemn, he looked at the pile of fish in front of him, and looked at the "exquisite" weaving basket in his hand, the basket that can hold a lot of fish at a time, and the efficient transportation method of "picking", his eyes showed expressions of joy, admiration, panic, gratitude, etc.

“$@@……”

Wu asked Wang Tian for the names of these things. Wang Tian patiently told them one by one.

Then I saw Wu reciting the new noun he had learned, reciting it as he walked, and he came to the cave alone with the big fish of seven or eight catties in his hand.

Wang Tian was a little confused, and he didn't know why Wu was so low。。。。。

The sun sets in the west, and hundreds of birds return to their nests.

The king told the people to restore the three places where they had been caught, and then they came with them to the tribe's cave, either in baskets or baskets, or with their hands.
