Chapter 390: Threshing Machine and Language Conjecture
As one of the top ten most representative inventions of the 18th century, the threshing machine has greatly improved the heavy agricultural labor, improved the production efficiency, and helped many farmers save some hard work.
It is a very good agricultural tool.
With the invention of this tool, Wang Yang finally smelled the sense of returning to the civilized atmosphere of the modern countryside.
He rode on it when he didn't have anything to do, exercised, and everyone was envious, this is a toy?
Everyone wanted to go up and ride, but unfortunately Wang Yang hadn't had enough of it, and he didn't know where the enthusiasm came from.
After two days, the wheat was harvested in considerable quantities and piled up in mountains, of course, with ears of wheat and straw.
Usually at this time, a bunch of friends began to help separate the wheat grains, crush the wheat husks, and separate the wheat kernels.
There is no division of labor in the work of the friends, the workload was not much in the past, sometimes they are tired of doing it, and they still have time to run to the side to play.
No one supervised them anyway, and no one asked for anything.
The leader of the children used to be in the warehouse, and he would entangle the ears of other friends and pull them back, and his dedicated attitude can be called the conscience of the industry.
Other children wanted to fight with him, but the adults helped to keep the warehouse, no way, such a dedicated child is rare, everyone loves him, flowers bloom, and the car has a flat tire.
As a result, the guy who guarded the warehouse became the Wang Yang of the year, and his obscenity was so powerful that it could be described as monstrous.
Now that the warehouse is guarding them, Wang Yang pondered, should he choose a small leader to supervise it?
"Forget it, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Yang called everyone and asked an adult who wanted to ride a bicycle to go up and ride.
"Wow~" The hob rolled rapidly. Wang Yang picked up a handful of ears of wheat and approached the roller.
Suddenly. The metal rings hit the ears of wheat one after another, knocking the grains off. It is very light to separate the straw from the wheat kernel.
Not only that, unlike rice, the husk is very easy to fall off, so with a dozen, the husk is quickly separated from the kernel, saving the time spent pinching the husk.
The grains fell to the bottom of the barrel and slid down an opening into the leather bag.
Wang Yang picked up a handful of wheat grains and blew them hard, and the fluttering wheat husks quickly flew away. All that is left is plump kernels.
"Do you understand? It's a tool, not a toy, and of course you can ride it as a toy. Wang Yang explained very seriously.
Everyone was amazed, they couldn't worship Wang Yang anymore, and they could come up with this thing.
The orthopedic scientist directly pulled Wang Yang away, and asked him frantically what tools he had, all of which were made to save him all kinds of worries.
Wang Yang was speechless. This is already a product of the 18th century, and even in the countryside today, there are still many families.
If you ask me to invent again, I can only invent mechanical and electrical energy. Was this invented by man? Can we still be good friends?
The osteologist didn't believe it, and asked Wang Yang to continue inventing, Wang Yang's eyes widened: "You dare to force the palace?!" "Hide your face and go away.
……
Manufacture of such tools. Wang Yang handed it all over to Zhang San, the design drawings or something. Wang Yingying carved it on the template and burned it out for him to see.
Wang Yang paid attention to the whole process. It wasn't until he and his men were familiar with each other and did it very well that he was relieved.
However, there are still some aspects that Wang Yang still has to do himself, such as gears and chains.
There is no way, although there is a copper mountain to be mined, but it will take time, and in a short period of time, the resources of copper are still limited, and he does not dare to give it to everyone to waste.
The life of the tribe has returned to a state of orderly joy, and the improvement of tools is directly reflected in efficiency.
Some people harvest wheat, some people separate wheat, and the team is very neatly divided.
Wang Yang made four threshing machines and asked several older children to take turns riding them, and they liked to play.
The younger children, under the leadership of others, kept blowing off the wheat husks, and they were not too tired to panic.
Wang Yang took the fan of the kiln to stir up the wheat husk, and with the cooperation of someone, it was very fast.
He began to ponder again, wondering if he wanted to make another threshing machine, another with its own fanning system, which seemed to be ...... It's good, should you use it as a fan?
Or, find some bark to make a sieve? Looks like the sieve doesn't work very well.
Wang Yang calculated their speed and redistributed the manpower to ensure that the harvested wheat could just be finished with a threshing machine.
In the evening, everyone will help to load the warehouse in minutes.
Seeing that everything was in order, the manpower was released, and all aspects were clearly arranged, Wang Yang climbed to the roof, majestic and high-spirited, and recited the great man's masterpiece "Qinyuan Spring-Snow" in his subdued tone.
"All the past, count the romantic characters, and look at the ...... of the present day" is called practicing pronunciation, and I don't know what the face of the road is......
But to be honest, he can really fully grasp the tone and frustration, and he has also made a considerable breakthrough in pronunciation.
The word "woo" is more similar to it, and when he says it, even modern people will not think that it is not good to say it.
"Huh, Du, book, pig, shop, out, ......masturbation" has a very solid foundation, and the long time of insisting on pronunciation makes people extremely admirable for it.
It's a pity, he said it quite accurately, and there are not many people who can understand it, at least the same capable people as him are more vague about this aspect, while those Homo erectus who already have the initial ability to recognize language can hear the subtleties.
They were shocked and wanted to communicate with Wang Yang in words.
It's a pity that the Chinese that Wang Yang has learned, but after many years of precipitation, the language system is extremely perfect.
What he said, Homo erectus couldn't understand it at all, but Homo erectus had the innate advantage of being better than capable people, and they already knew that Wang Yang was speaking language, but they felt that Wang Yang was talking about the Book of Heaven, and their eyes widened to show that they didn't understand.
They painted and asked Wang Yang to explain, but unfortunately there were only abbreviations like "you, me, and him" in their language.
But not all capable people can't understand it, and many children can also distinguish Wang Yang from speaking.
They live with Homo erectus, and they are in the blank slate stage, receiving whatever they want, and they also seem to have the ability to understand language.
Wang Yang is really not sure about this, he probably understands, and because of the different structures in his body, he can't speak.
If it weren't for trivial matters, Wang Yang promised to spend ten or twenty years talking in front of every newborn child, whether he understood it or not, he would talk about it for a few years first.
What if any child has the qualifications of a genius and understands? And under the long-term influence, I have understood the perfect Chinese?!
If you really understand, it would be great, it would be great, Wang Yang would never think that he was a genius, he must be a time-traveler like himself!
"Ouch, I'll go! Am I going to teach them to speak? Capable people can't do it, aren't there still Homo erectus? ”
Wang Yangru was electrocuted, and the whole person ejected, so frightened that the people on the side took four or five steps back, not understanding what was happening.
In the firelight, I saw Wang Yang squinting his eyes, letting out a penetrating hehe, and his eyes staring at the bonfire flickered, causing everyone to speculate.
"Is this to be angry?"
"No, it's supposed to be laughing."
"Nonsense, he's already sneering, I've seen this smile, it must be angry."
"How is that possible! He laughed like that when he was happy! ”
"Wrong! You're all wrong, I saw him look like this some time ago, and guess what, what did he see? ”
Everyone guessed for a while, but they didn't guess correctly.
The mysterious drawing of the man said, "He saw the white bodies of the women......"
Everyone slapped their thighs and gave the man a thumbs up.
When he came back to his senses, Wang Yang saw everyone's smile at him, and he didn't understand what he meant, so he asked, his face suddenly turned grim, he shook his big hand, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "I am different from you, I am a righteous man and a gentleman......"
once again refreshed his bottom line of no discipline.
……
Thinking of the idea of teaching everyone language, Wang Yang did not do what he said as usual, because he knew the difficulty of language.
It's not that language is difficult to learn, language is not difficult to learn, but the difficulty is that people's brains have the function of language.
In this regard, he remembers that area of the brain is responsible for the language system, ensuring that people can express themselves freely.
If you hurt this part, you become mute, this is not a dumb person with a hoarse voice, it is a mute with a functional disorder, there is help, it is difficult to save.
After all, even modern developed medicine is helpless against its own brain, and it is inexplicable.
Some people knock their heads, and their throats are intact, but they can't weave words, they can only babble, just like children.
There are many examples of this, and Wang Yang has heard and seen a lot.
If people don't have this function at all, it will be a waste of time for him to teach.
He estimates that Homo erectus may have the potential for this, but the function is certainly weak enough to carry a complete language system, or even enough to support a broken language system, only the simplest functions.
That's absolutely certain, there's no need to try it at all.
Because Wang Yang has been in contact with Homo erectus for a lot of time, he talks to himself a lot, and they often gather around him and listen to it a lot.
After so long, I haven't heard of any flowers, and I want to teach flowers as soon as I teach them, but obviously I can't.
Is there any way to quickly pour it into everyone's minds like a painting?
He thought about it for half a month, but he didn't know how many brain cells he had killed, but he still didn't come up with it.
At the beginning, I wanted to open everyone's abstract thinking and image function, which was the nature of the article, and I got it by chance, and I came up with it by luck.
At this time, you will completely pounce here, either you will be in another village, or you will get into a dead end, and you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life.
"Forget it, I don't want to do such a distant thing, let's honestly do a good job of infrastructure construction." (To be continued......)
