Back in the tribe, Wang Chuan felt that his heart was much more settled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoAlthough I've only been here for a few months, it's still a treacherous and difficult prehistory. But walking into this cave, where I had slept for months, was like returning home. Before he knew it, he had made this place his home.

Lying on the warm kang and waking up naturally, it is considered a vacation. When you wake up, you have to get started. There are more and more people from the tribe.

Keeping the exchange and prisoners of war crammed into firewood and utility rooms was not a long-term solution. There are more than a dozen people in a ten-square-meter room, and they can't even stretch their feet, let alone accept their hearts, and it's a question of how long they can live in it. In the later stage, if the Xiniu tribe sends ten more children, there will be no place to arrange it. The matter of building a house is imminent.

In winter, the soil is frozen, and it becomes difficult to make mud bricks or fire bricks. It was impossible to build a brick house, so Wang Chuan thought of building a house with wood. It takes a lot of carpenter's tools to build a complex wooden house, and saws can only exist in the imagination of today's technology. So Wang Chuan thought of a wooden cocoon room with simple requirements for tools.

A wooden house is a house that is made of logs layer by layer. The structure is relatively simple. Tools require axes and machetes, and basically. There is no problem with building in winter.

The exchangers and prisoners of war pulled up and went to chop wood. Now there are not enough axes and machetes, so they all use stone axes to cut first, it doesn't matter if it's slow, it's important to have a good attitude. If you have a good attitude, you can use an iron axe, you can eat three meals, you can enjoy other benefits, you can give priority to learning the rules of the tribe, and you can join the tribe after learning it.

Trees are cut down indiscriminately, but a path is cut from the tribe's position in the direction of the river. It doesn't matter if you cut it wider, you can plant other fruit trees or other crops on both sides of the road. Therefore, the roots of the trees were dug up, the big ones were dried and used as firewood, and the small ones were fed to the baby elephants. After cutting, the branches are removed, and the suitable trunk is carried back to peel and set aside. The branches and small trees were kept for charcoal or firewood. If the tree is too big, it will not be cut down, and if it is in the way, the bark will be stripped off and it will die on its own.

These men, whom Wang Chuan called slaves, had to send men with bows and crossbows to watch them to prevent them from escaping, fighting, or being lazy.

After the slaves were arranged, the people of the tribe could not be idle. In the past, there were a lot of trees left behind when the fields were opened and burned. Wang Chuan picked out some suitable ones and asked everyone to build the first wooden stunned house.

Women and children go out in search of lichens or mosses. Some of the men dug trenches in the open space where the house had been built with the markers drawn by Wang Chuan, and then built a one-foot-high foundation with stones. Others use axes or machetes to cut notches at both ends of the log that can be attached to the log. Wang Chuan used charcoal to measure the position of the groove on the spare wood, leaving the fracture of the door and window, and so on.

When the foundation is good, beat it flat, lay a layer of mud and sand on the foundation, then put a thicker log, put the bottom four roots, fix it on the foundation with a wood wedge, spread a layer of lichen or moss on the four logs, and then put a second layer of logs. Lichen or moss can prevent gaps between the wood and cold wind from entering. Between the two layers of wood, it is fixed with sharpened bamboo nails, and the four corners of the wood are tightened with grooves, so that the wood will not move and move, and the wall will be relatively strong.

In this way, a layer of wood and a layer of lichen are erected, and when they are more than two meters high, the wall is almost completed. Because there is more rain in the south, the roof has to be kept at a large angle. The two opposite walls on both sides are built into spires in the form of triangles. It is also in the form of bamboo nails.

The walls were erected, and the roof was covered side by side with wood. Because the thatch is now covered with snow and ice, it is impossible to use it, so the roof is covered with several layers of peeled bark, and in order to prevent the wind from blowing the bark away, the top is fixed with bamboo nails.

There are many people and fast hands, and this first wooden house was built in just a few days. This wooden house is built of wood seven meters long, and the space inside is close to 50 square meters, and now it is too troublesome with mud, so instead of building a warm kang in it, only two fireplaces with chimneys are built. When the doors and windows are closed and the fireplace is lit, the warmth inside is no worse than living in a cave.

Wang Chuan originally planned to move in the slaves who behaved well first, but considering that it was difficult to supervise, he still let them all live in. However, when I moved in, I made it clear that it was the credit of those who performed well, and the poor performance was stained with their light. If the performance is not good in the future, it will be thrown away to live in the abandoned cave. In this way, there was an exemplary effect among the slaves. Let everyone be more active.

With the first successful experience, the construction of such houses in the future will be much faster. Wang Chuan took into account more and more people. Spring doesn't always have that much time to build a house. It was no longer suitable for so many people to live in the cave after the weather was hot, so I planned to build more such houses first. There is too much rain in the south, and such a house may not last for a few years, so there is no need to build more, it is about enough to live. By next autumn, if it is properly arranged, it should be possible to spare it, and it will not be too late to build a large number of brick houses. At least Wang Chuan hopes to have his own relatively independent space, and then live in a cave, which always makes him feel that he is not yet civilized.

After the last battle, the tribe's iron tools also exposed a lot of problems. After digging the ice and digging the stones, and the tribe people did not know how to cherish the stones used to show off, etc., these iron tools were not as hard as the steel manganese alloy of later generations, and the number of damaged or notched iron tools was a bit large. After Jianmu was stunned and could let go, Wang Chuan took the time to go to the iron room to visit his father.

When Wang Chuan arrived there, Kuan was sighing at the broken iron tools. The things that have been worked so hard to create, these guys don't know how to cherish them, how long has it been like this, how distressing it is? It takes no less time to get these things back into the furnace than it does to build new ones, and those people are screaming for it, how can they be busy?

Wang Chuan went to the warehouse to take a look and found that the iron ore inside was getting smaller and smaller, and the purity was getting worse and worse. The women of the tribe also went out on both sides of the river to shovel the ice and snow during this time, and came back with a lot of iron ore. It's just that there is so much iron ore in the river, and after picking up the good quality, the rest is naturally getting worse and worse. And it takes even more time for poor iron ore to be hammered into fine ironware.

Wang Chuan said: "Dad, now that this situation seems to be the way of striking iron, the way of striking iron should be improved, and the iron room should also be strengthened." ”

"How?" Kuan blushed all of a sudden.

Wang Chuan knew that his Lao Tzu's self-esteem had been hurt, which meant: Do you think I can't do it?

Not daring to embarrass his father, Wang Chuan hurriedly explained: "Dad, this iron striking is a university question. No matter how good a person is, he can't be busy. When the time comes, there will be more people and more things to fight, and this iron house may require more than ten or twenty people to come over. And now this iron ore is getting worse and worse, and you are getting harder and harder. After the beginning of spring, these iron will still rust, you also have to know how to prevent rust, and you have to teach those people how to prevent rust. When the time comes, how can you be busy by yourself? At this point, it's time for you to take in an apprentice. ”

Wang Chuan didn't dare to say that the number of people in the iron house might increase to hundreds or thousands in the future, for fear of scaring his father, and ten or twenty might be the limit of his imagination.

After explaining to Kuan what the master-apprentice relationship was, he agreed to accept the apprentice. Wang Chuan didn't let him recognize the righteous son and the righteous daughter before, he didn't say it in his mouth, maybe he had an opinion in his heart. At that time, all the older people in the tribe were accepted, but he was the only one left behind, he was crippled, and he was inferior to others in his heart, so it was easier to have opinions. Now you can accept apprentices, just to make up for this regret.

In the battle of the Vulcan tribe, the one who injured his knee should have been lame. If the hand bone is broken, Wang Chuan estimates that he will not be able to hold heavy objects after he is ready. The times and the limits of medicine, this result has been calculated. In normal times, maybe neither of them would have survived until now.

It is not possible for such people to go out hunting. But the hand with a broken leg can still be used. If you have a broken hand, you can strike iron with the other hand, and just help with errands, how good it is. According to this situation, in the future, the tribe's workshop will become a concentration camp for all kinds of disabled people, but this is a matter for the future, don't worry about it for now, first stuff these two people into the iron-striking room to improve the efficiency of iron-making.

As for the change in the way of striking iron, it is unlikely that a blast furnace will be made now. Low-quality iron ore can be calcined and reduced by digging pits and charcoal burning, and then forged. In this way, it only consumes more charcoal, and the forging time does not need to be increased, and it can be regarded as improving the efficiency of some iron.
