Chapter 205: The Big Waterwheel Turns and Turns
Half-meter-long multicolored dragonflies hover over the new village, catching fist-sized mosquitoes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The summer flood is over, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the summer of the great wilderness is coming.
When Wang Hao was young, he also ate this kind of big dragonfly, although it tasted good, but it was very difficult to catch.
Unlike the small dragonflies on Earth, these large dragonflies have bar-like arthropods covered with bars. Its mouthparts can be stuffed with half a fist between opening and closing, and the steel-plated incisors have a considerable bite force, and one of Wang Hao's clan uncles has been bitten off by a colorful dragonfly.
A large mosquito swept over everyone's heads like lightning, and the multicolored dragonfly followed closely behind. It's time to catch it.
"Smack!"
A pebble the size of a goose egg hit the mosquito's body accurately, sending it flying.
The person who shot the pebbles was Gu Mu, who had shown an unparalleled talent for shooting since his brain domain had evolved.
Wang Hao used a bow and arrow to test him, Gu Mu is not only able to face static things, but also has very good dynamic capture vision.
The bow and arrow he shoots are often the last to come first, as the fruit thrown by the target is as if he had hit it.
Wang Hao wanted to equip him with a small bow, because with his figure, even if he had enough strength, he couldn't pull the longbow into a full moon, after all, at the age of twelve, his body was not fully developed, and his arms were still too short.
But he didn't ask for it, but asked Wang Hao to make him a slingshot.
Wang Hao only told them about the slingshot once, but he didn't expect it to be written down by him.
On the back of the tiger toothfish, there is a thin green tendon.
When the fish is processed, it is naturally taken out.
The finger-thick fish tendon is nine meters long, but after boiling, it is only as thick as a little thumb.
The Y-shaped tree branches of the slingshot are cut out of black ironwood, and the tough fish tendons can only be pulled apart by the evolved clansmen of Wang Village.
When Gu Mu used this large slingshot to blow the head of a brown dog that attacked the clansmen from a distance of nearly 100 meters, no one laughed at him anymore for being a child's thing.
Standing in the middle of the new village, Wang Hao turned his head and glanced at Gu Mu reproachfully, and saw that he put away the slingshot, so he glanced around and said: "With the place where I am standing as the center, from now on, this place will become the most prosperous area in the entire Great Wilderness!" ”
After waiting for a long time, Wang Hao couldn't wait for the imaginary cheers and applause.
turned back awkwardly, but happened to see the natural expressions of the clansmen, and the sneering of those newcomers from other villages.
After discussion, this new village was named 'Hwaseong' by the people who discussed it among the clansmen. No way, there are only a few names given by Wang Hao, if you don't choose Hua, you have to choose Xia, as a traverser, Wang Hao also has a habit of most traversers, and likes to bring some of the things in his memory to this new world.
Today is the official groundbreaking day of Hwaseong, and Wang Hao led everyone to hold a ceremony to worship the sky.
A head of a cow, a head of a sheep, a chicken, a duck, and a fish were all sacrifices.
The three animals are missing the pig's head, and Wang Hao always feels that something is missing. However, after the construction of Huacheng started, Wang Hao planned to take people to the wild boar king's lair to see, Zhaocun's oil could not be counted on for the time being, and the asphalt near the wild boar king's lair was one of the important materials for the future construction of the city.
And wild boars, usually live in groups, can evolve the wild boar king, indicating that their group should not be small, this time, bring a few big nets, on the way to find asphalt, by the way to see if you can catch some wild boars from the island where the wild boar king lives.
As one of the main sources of meat thousands of years later, pigs are domesticated as soon as possible.
The prayer for worshipping the heavens was read by Wang Dalai, which was nothing more than a few key words of the ancestral worship text of the Autumn Queen that was passed down orally on the Great Wilderness. The blessed people were able to catch the prey smoothly, and the blessed people were able to build the city smoothly.
After the memorial service, Wang Hao dug the soil of the first shovel with a shovel, and then the vigorous land preparation activities began.
As far as the eye can see, the 500,000-square-meter new village, except for a ring of walls on the periphery, two factories that have just been cleared of mud, and a few rows of newly built wooden sheds and thatched huts, the rest of the place is barren grassland.
Although it is located in a plain area, the terrain of the plain by the river is still slightly undulating.
The first thing to do after the festival is to level the land in the new village.
Because of manpower reasons, if you want to build a city on the great wilderness, it is impossible to build a wall and then build a house, so you can only start from the subtleties, according to the drawings downloaded by Wang Hao, first build some houses that need to be used urgently in the specified places, and then take these houses as the center and radiate around. Roads, water and sewerage infrastructure will be built.
And those vacant land, when Hwaseong prospers in the future, will be built into houses one after another, or in the form of public property, the land will be leased to those who have a certain financial ability and need it.
After such a long time in the summer flood, the turbid river at the beginning has once again returned to its former crystal clear appearance.
Because the moat has not yet been dug and the topography is a serious problem, the water supply of the new city has become a serious problem.
The carpenter who had made the bow and arrow, with the help of the giant, erected the waterwheel into the river for the second time.
It takes two days of faith to download the waterwheel directly, and it takes two days of faith to download the blueprints of the waterwheel.
But after thinking about it, Wang Hao finally chose to download the drawings.
After so long training, the first carpenters in these villages have no problem making tables and chairs, even wooden beds.
Pieces of wood, stuck together, before the nails come out, can already be used to use wooden wedges to build a variety of strong wooden tools.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, although Wang Hao can directly download wooden windmills, but in the future, the rapid development of the village, like this kind of large-scale carpentry, the demand is bound to be very huge.
The system is easy to use, but it has too many limitations. If you want to build a perfect Hwaseong, you need unimaginable pre-technology. This can be seen from the two boxes of Hwaseong drawings alone.
If these carpenters can build a huge watermill with their own hands today, then next time, if there is any large-scale carpentry, I am afraid that there is no need to download the drawings, and these carpenters can have the confidence to try it.
The giant's daily food is from the public property, so if you want to hire the giant, you have to hand over a certain amount of food or money to the village.
The windmill built by the carpenter, the last time it entered the water, it was washed apart, the structure was not stable enough, and a large amount of timber was washed away by the water.
The drawings were given to the carpenter by Wang Hao, and Wang Hao explained to him again and again what he didn't understand. The wood, the raw materials and the man-hours consumed are all produced by the carpenter alone.
The village, on the other hand, only buys windmills whose finished products have been inspected.
Therefore, the carpenter himself was also responsible for the loss last time.
Although he is one of the richest people in the entire village, except for Wang Erniu, who is in charge of breeding, Wang Zhu, who is in charge of pottery, and Wang Ba, who is in charge of slaves, but the loss last time also made him break his muscles and bones, and most of his family funds were squandered.
After that, he chose to continue building the waterwheel, and he had already taken all the family resources.
Of course, if he succeeds, then his gain is also very huge, not to mention the last loss, even if it is a few more losses in the future, he will also earn. Because of this job, Wang Hao gave them a sky-high price.
The nine-meter-tall waterwheel is taller than the giants.
The base has already been placed in the water, and all the giant needs to do is to help put the key part of the waterwheel, the gear, on the base.
The carpenter looked nervously at the giant with red eyes, and from time to time shouted to him to be careful.
The rest of the helpers also watched the giant's movements with solemn faces, if this time it was done, they would be able to get double the carpenter's salary, if not, the carpenter would have to use his set of tools that he regarded as his lifeline to pay off his debts.
At that time, carpenters were not even qualified to live in huts.
'Boom'
The waterwheel was placed on the pedestal.
Under the turbulent river, the entire waterwheel was washed and trembled.
And the carpenter's heart trembled three times with the windmill.
But then, the windmill started to move slowly.
"Turned! Turned! One of the clansmen shouted in cheers, turning back to the crowd and shouting.
A touch of joy appeared on the carpenter's face.
'Squeak'
There was a cacophony of wood scraping, and the giant stepped out of the way, and the huge waterwheel slowly turned.
This is made by yourself! It was made by myself with more than 20 people and staying up for more than ten **** nights and nights!
Looking at the miraculous windmill, the carpenter's face flushed with excitement, and he wanted to look up to the sky and roar excitedly.
However, the cheering of the crowd did not last for a minute before it gradually stopped.
The waterwheel turned half a circle with difficulty, and then gradually stopped. Even if the river rushed against it, the snow-white waves would no longer turn the slightest.
The base of the waterwheel, under the tremendous force of the waterwheel, is slowly deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The carpenter's face slowly twisted as the pedestal deformed. (To be continued.) )
