Chapter 110: Livestock Pulling the Cart
With a weight of more than 300 catties, plus the weight of the car itself, the deer cart walked very slowly, and the speed was about the same as walking slowly, and after driving for more than 20 minutes, Wang Lang led the giant deer back to the tribe.
After asking people to unload the car, Wang Lang carefully inspected every part of the car, especially the wheels, the connection between the axle and the body.
There is nothing wrong with the axles, the effect of this hardwood is perfect, but there is a small problem with the wheels, hundreds of pounds of weight on the wheels, and the potholed ground, which makes the wheels slightly worn.
That's only twenty minutes, and at this rate of wear, it's going to take two or three rounds to get from here to the copper mine, and you'll have to change the wheels.
Although the quality of the wheels is extremely different, at the current level, it is a good achievement.
Everyone was excitedly talking about what was going on just now, and the children jumped into the car excitedly after getting Wang Lang's consent, learning from the bark just now, imagining the feeling of the vehicle, and screaming excitedly.
"Patriarch, this thing called a car is so useful, the three of us can pull it when we sit on it, if we use it to transport things, it will definitely be much easier than before." Bark said excitedly.
Kong Er also said: "If we had this thing in the first place, we wouldn't have to make so much effort to carry back that little bit of copper, if we use this cart to transport it and load it into a cart, it will be comparable to the one we brought back last time." ”
Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Actually, this thing still has a lot of flaws. ”
People looked at Wang Lang in confusion, this car was already the greatest invention in their eyes, if such things were defective, they really couldn't imagine what kind of vehicle could compare to this.
"Chief, I think this car is very good, how can it be defective?" Kong Yi asked.
"When you look at the marks of the wheels on the ground, what do you find?" Wang Lang said.
Everyone looked down at the rut marks on the interior of the tribe, and then looked at the outside of the tribe, and people were a little confused, not knowing what could be wrong with the marks pressed out by these two wheels.
Seeing that no one answered this question, Wang Lang was about to speak, when a childish voice sounded, looking for the sound, he saw a thin little boy standing by the wheel, looking at the adults with some fear.
Wang Lang couldn't understand the little boy's language, but at this time he suddenly spoke up, obviously answering his own question, a question that the adults didn't find, could it be that the little guy in front of him, who was not as tall as a wheel, found out? Wang Lang glanced at the child curiously and asked Kong Er to translate his words.
Kong Er said hesitantly: "This little guy, just said that the traces on the ground, the shallow in the tribe, and the deep outside!" ”
After Kong Er finished speaking, a woman rushed out of the crowd, quickly pulled the little boy behind him, and repeatedly begged Wang Lang not to blame her child.
After listening to Kong Er's explanation, Wang Lang knew that this woman was the child's mother, and looking at the woman's anxious and sweaty appearance, he suddenly felt that he was now like a dog official who bullied the good people in the story.
smiled self-deprecatingly, although he didn't care about his identity on weekdays, but after all, humans are social animals, and there will be classes when they live in groups, and their own identity is destined to be estranged by ordinary clansmen.
Wang Lang signaled that the mother and son did not need to be nervous: "You don't have to be nervous, the child is not wrong, the land in the tribe is hard, and the grassland land outside is soft, so it will cause this phenomenon, it is difficult to pull too heavy things on the grassland with the strength of the deer alone, and the main purpose of the deer is to ride, not to pull the cart." ”
"That cart is not pulled by deer, so what is used to pull the cart, it is difficult to push such a heavy thing with our strength, right?" Bark asked.
Wang Lang smiled and said, "Do you remember the dinosaur with big horns you encountered by the river when you were looking for copper mines?" ”
The bark was a little dazed, and he didn't have much impression of the animal Wang Lang said, but Kong Er said, "Chief, do you mean the river we set on fire?" ”
Wang Lang nodded, and at this time, the others also remembered that incident after being prompted, and they also had a vague impression of those horned dragons.
"Those dinosaurs are very strong, and if they can be used to pull carts, they are much more effective than using deer." Wang Lang said.
"But those animals are very aggressive, and it's hard for me to catch them." Kong Yi said.
"I know this, so I need some people to find that kind of dinosaur eggs, we have cultivated dinosaurs since we were young, and we have trained them to pull carts since we were children, and they will definitely be used by us in the future."
After Wang Lang finished speaking, he said that some people were silent, no one wanted to leave the tribe to live that kind of life in the wild, and people were not very interested in this matter.
When Wang Lang's gaze swept over him, people subconsciously avoided Wang Lang's gaze.
Seeing this, Wang Lang sighed and said, "The little guy who answered the question just now, I plan to give him a name, and anyone who contributes to the tribe in the future, whether big or small, will be rewarded." ”
What Wang Lang said was undoubtedly a bombshell to these people, who did not have a surname, and were very envious of Lin Huo, who had a surname and a name, in their opinion, to have a name and status symbol, but they also knew that they had just joined this tribe, and it was very difficult to get their own name.
But the child only answered a question and got his name, although he didn't have a surname, but it also shocked them.
"Chief, is it true that you will have your own name as long as you contribute to the tribe?" Someone asked.
Wang Lang nodded and said: "That's right, from today onwards, as long as any clansman does something that contributes to the tribe, he can get at least one name, if anyone can find those dinosaur eggs, not only names, I can give him a surname, and those who want to build their own houses in the future must be the ones with names." ”
To have their own name, or even a house of their own, people suddenly boiled, and they all shouted that they wanted to find the dinosaur egg.
Wang Lang calmed down the noisy people and said, "You don't need to go so many people to this matter, let's draw lots to decide." ”
"What is a lottery?" Bark asked.
Wang Lang smiled, asked the child on the side to bring a thin branch, broke it into three wooden sticks the length of three little fingers, held it in his hand and said to everyone: "Three grow out, now I have three wooden sticks in my hand, whoever of you can draw the longest one will go, this is the lottery, everything depends on luck." ”
The three of them raised their eyebrows when they heard this, glanced at each other without cutting each other, walked up to Wang Lang, looked at the wooden stick of the same length exposed in his hand, and frowned.
