Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 81 If you want to get rich, build roads first

After a few months of playing, Lao Fang has a thorough understanding of what it means to be a good day, even if he is a formless and insubstantial, immortal and immortal thinking body, he often has times when he can't come.

He admired the leaders who worked hard to make the country prosperous, they devoted their limited lives to unlimited careers, and solved various problems with the eyes limited by the times, and their difficulty was far higher than what the old party was doing now.

Compared with them, Lao Fang's situation is many times better, at least his energy is unlimited, at least his current cognition is cross-generational.

The establishment of the five major departments has directly allowed mankind to skip several low-level social strata, and the two modes of division of labor and cooperation, and macroeconomic regulation and control, have greatly improved productivity.

Although, at present, it is difficult for human beings to have a foothold among the major forces, but they can boast that their potential is the greatest, even if the old party leaves at this time, only God gives them decades of development, and human beings will become one of the largest forces in prehistory.

The old man came to the quarry, which at this time had begun to take shape, in the southeast corner, a row of wooden sheds was erected, and a shirtless young man, or carrying a wood or a ladder, worked selflessly in the wooden shed area.

To the northwest, nearly 400 people are striking a boulder in the mountain with a hammer.

The old man glanced at the quarry, and there was no trace of large equipment, and it seemed that the stone crusher for transporting wood had still not been successfully developed.

The efficiency of quarrying was very low, and the old party watched for a long time, and more than 300 workers took turns to hammer for a long time, and they did not see how many stones were knocked down.

It must be the wrong method, and no matter how primitive the tool is, it shouldn't be like this. Thinking so, Lao Fang approached the quarry, observed for a long time, and found the reason.

Although these laborers have strength, they have little experience, and they only know how to use their strength to strike hard boulders, and when they hammer down, they are immediately digested by the entire stone face.

Without a chisel, the old man made a conclusion in his heart.

Although the chisel is just an extremely ordinary tool, it is very useful here.

The chisel can concentrate all the power of the hammer into one point, although the same force is used, but the effect is very different.

Lao Fang remembered that there were chisels in the standard configuration of the quarry, and it must be these newcomers who didn't know how to use it at all.

The old man picked up the chisel from the ground and carved out a dozen holes in a straight line on a boulder, completely with an extremely rough cutting line.

Then, Lao Fang took the iron hammer and smashed it hard outside the cutting line a few times, and with a click, a boulder was broken by Lao Fang effortlessly.

The young people around looked at Lao Fang in amazement, and soon, Lao Fang used a hammer and a chisel to successfully cut another boulder.

After Lao Fang's demonstration, even the most stupid person knows how to quarry.

The efficiency of the quarry has improved a lot.

How nice it would be to have an excavator at this time! Lao Fang thought so, but he hadn't even researched an oil extractor, let alone an excavator.

The old man checked the cart loaded with stones again, and the cart was still used, and he tried to load a cart, but then he couldn't push it.

He sighed, if it was this kind of car, a person would not be able to transport this gravel out of the quarry at all.

It seems that the quarry must first consider laying a wooden track road while quarrying.

He didn't directly transfer someone to do this, but just described his meaning to Bei Mingqi in detail.

The two talked for more than an hour, and the Northern Wizard fully understood what Lao Fang meant.

After the old party left, Bei Mingqi summoned the heads of several branches, and they held a meeting.

Lao Fang didn't know the specific content of this meeting, what he should say had already been explained to Bei Mingqi, and he believed that with Bei Mingqi's ability, he should be able to handle this matter well.

Facts have indeed proved that the old side did not look at the wrong person.

The next day, Gong Zhimu found the old man and wanted to ask him how to make a wooden rail car, but the old party did not tell him immediately, but knocked on the side and asked him about the detailed steps of laying wooden rails.

By asking Gong Zhimu, the old side got the entire deployment of Bei Yingqi.

First of all, the route must be determined, and all the places where the track passes, whether it is a ravine or a wood, must be sorted out. Lumberjacks can set up a dozen points along the way, and now the entire route is opened.

Secondly, the R&D center studied the manufacture of wooden rail cars and wooden rails, and at the same time, increased the labor of the quarry and knocked out a large amount of gravel.

After the production method of the wooden rail car and wooden rail was determined, the construction began immediately, starting from the quarry, and began to reverse the paving to other places.

The old man nodded, agreed to this plan, he found burlap, drew a simple diagram of the wooden rail car and the wooden rail, and then taught the public some ways to see the parameters.

Lao Fang had already popularized the unit of measurement for these people who could read and write last winter, and now he can understand how many meters and centimeters he says, and he can form an approximate length in his mind.

"Since this is a paving process, there should be a device on the quarryer to make it easy to pour out the stones." The old man explained in detail: "When the time comes, you can set up a "crane" at the end of the road to lift the entire carriage by manipulating the "crane", and then send it to the designated position to unload the stones. ”

The old side talked about some details.

The so-called crane is naturally the simplest wooden frame device, as for this wooden frame, how to achieve translation, lifting, these old parties understand, as long as you carefully study it, the use of gears and other methods, can be realized.

However, this time Lao Fang decided not to study it himself, he just put forward his own ideas, and then handed them over to Gong Yimu and others to study by themselves.

It's not about making it difficult for them, it's about helping them grow quickly.

"Wooden rails, rail cars, cranes, you and your men go down to study carefully, and when the time comes, give me a review and audit, if there is no problem, you will start work!" In the end, the old man patted Gong Yimu's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

After sending away the Gongyi wood, the old man found Bei Mingqi, this young man probably didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes were red.

However, when he saw Lao Fang, his tiredness seemed to disappear.

"Your construction plan is good, I'm here to tell you that your road should be paved wider!" Old way.

The North is puzzled.

"If you widen the gravel roadbed to 20 meters, and then fill the place where there is no track with a layer of "concrete", then other cars can also run like the wind on this road! Lao Fang described as he drew a sketch on a burlap.

"What is concrete?" Bei Mingqi wondered.

"You don't have to worry about this for the time being, I'll give you a recipe when the time comes, and then teach you how to make concrete!" Lao Fang continued: "My point is that when you fill in the roadbed, you should reserve the position of the "road". ”

"Yes!" Bei Mingqi immediately respectfully received the order.

Lao Fang nodded, the two said some more details, and then Lao Fang left.

The next day, he sent a team of 3,000 people from the hands of the North Immortal Wuyu, and he divided the team into groups, 1,000 people supported the quarry, and the 2,000 people were divided into fifteen points and began to cut down the trees on the determined route.

The road is more than 10 kilometers long, with a final width of 20 meters, with two wooden tracks next to a large road.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, which is what Lao Fang has often talked about recently.

……

After two days of study, Gongchuan Mu finally studied the shape of the wooden rail car alone, he drew a simple diagram, and then asked the old party for guidance.

The old man looked at it: "Since it is equipped with a crane, then this wooden rail car will be divided into two parts, the upper part is a carriage, and the lower part is the wheel and the frame that bears the weight of the box!" The old man pointed out: "In addition, the carriage needs to open a door from the bottom, the door is usually closed, and wait for the crane to adjust the carriage to the designated position, and then open the door at the bottom, so that the crane uses a little force, and the stones in the entire carriage will all be unloaded!" ”

Gong Yimu finally understood, and he immediately returned to his wooden shed and made changes to the original foundation.

Lao Fang had just sent away the male wood, and a fish from the North Darkness walked in again.

Coming in the North Hell, there are fish in a bad state, the old man knows his thoughts, the iron smelting center was originally a separate department, he is alone, and no longer under the control of others, but now, he is under the control of his cousin who is a few years younger than him, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Lao Fang didn't do his ideological work, he could accept it, or he couldn't figure it out, Lao Fang only needed him to unswervingly carry out his orders, and that was enough.

He came to produce a stone crusher, and the old party handed over the stone crusher to the public wood for a while, and he let the public wood optimize and optimize on his basis, but the old party still overestimated his talent, and after a few days of meditation, he still adopted the old party's plan.

The old man looked at his plan, thought for a while, and added a shelf and a set of pulleys to the original drawing, and the iron cone that hit the stone was in the center of the two shelves.

When the stone was broken, the two groups of people worked together to pull the iron cone of several hundred catties into the air, and then let it go, and let it go.

Undoubtedly, this method is not good, and either side let go first, which will cause the position of the iron cone to shift.

Lao Fang sighed and decided to press down this drawing first, he needed to study it again.

Beiming Youyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the old man stopped him.

"Have you studied this drawing?" Lao Fang looked at the young man in front of him, and his expression just now made Lao Fang feel a little strange.

"Give it to my lord!" Beiming Youyu arched his hand: "I didn't study this drawing, I want to say something else!" ”

"What's the matter!" The old party was a little disappointed, after all, if the other party could improve his plan, he would be much easier.

"Recently I discovered that when a stone is thrown into an iron furnace and calcined, it turns into a white ash, and I just wanted to ask, can this thing work?" The fish in the North Styx asked cautiously.

"You're talking about lime!" Lao Fang naturally knew that this method could make lime, but he was still very happy that there were fish in the North Underworld that could be found and could still think about this problem.

"It's useful, you can try to burn more, and in addition, the cinders from ironmaking, you send someone to spread them on the road, especially in those potholes, and spread them thicker!"

"Yes! Yes, sir! "There are fish in the North Underworld who are ordered to go.

……

The following content is garbled, and we are making every effort to rescue it, please bear with me......

The young man had just rested for a while, and when the old man came down on him, he was still sweating profusely on a log.

The old man glanced at the clothes that the young man was putting on the side, then took them over and wiped the sweat off his head.

The lumber yard is located at the foot of the Hump Mountain, opposite the quarry.

Today's lumber yards and quarries are just a prototype, and the lumber yards are already working, while the quarries have only had time to make dozens of wooden sheds so far.

Building a city was still his first choice, and he needed a period of stability of more than thirty years in his plan.

It will take thirty years to bring the entire human race into the era, and at that time, it will be possible for mankind to be invincible in this prehistoric period.

Lao Fang really can't underestimate this era, the number of various carnivores far exceeds that of humans, and under their fangs and claws, cold weapons have no advantage at all.

Think about it, if you encounter a dragon more than ten meters long, when the time comes to shoot it with a bow and arrow, it will definitely end up in a cool end.

Lao Fang has not fully carried out the project of building a city now, he is now accumulating resources to build a city (not a castle), which requires a lot of resources, and a city that can accommodate 100,000 people can be solved by not thirty or fifty miles.

The plain in front of him is very qualified, however, the old party does not dare to take this risk, the construction of the city can not be completed in a day or two, the beasts on the plain, once they attack him, he will not even have room to resist.

So, he decided to look at the situation in spring, summer, autumn and winter before making a decision.

In addition, he has no intention of being idle, what should be prepared still has to be prepared, wood and stone are all resources needed to build a city, he will prepare these first, and then make plans.

If the forces on the opposite plain were too strong, then he had no choice but to surround the Lost Forest and Hump Mountain first.

In order to improve work efficiency, the old side is currently building a track between the various points, the railroad track does not need to think, the old side uses the wooden rail, relatively speaking, the wood is relatively easy to obtain, and the resources are abundant, although in terms of quality, the wooden rail is far lower than the rail, but in the current cost performance, the wooden rail is still the first choice of the old side.

From the territory through the boar forest, it is more than thirty miles to reach the Lost Forest, and then it divides into two roads, one leading to the quarry and the lumberyard, and the other to the edge of the abyss.

It is fifteen miles to the quarry, and twenty-five miles to the edge of the abyss through the Lost Forest.

A total of 70 miles of rail roads will be built, which is not a small project.

Fortunately, there are many old people, after more than two months of repair, most of the people who were tortured by the winter have been recovered, and every day is either snake meat or wild boar, although the nutrition is a little biased, but it is indeed a big supplement.

Now the number of people who can do heavy work has increased by one-third, from less than 10,000 to 134,000 now.

In order to improve work efficiency, the old side divided these people very scattered, set up a dozen points along the way, at present, these dozen points are independent, in order to ensure safety, the old side taught them to be surrounded by traps, and then built a high wall.

For the safety of his subordinates, the old party did not spare any effort.

Now, these dozen points are in full swing to set up the roadbed.

It is more difficult to ensure the safe passage of such a road, and the only way that the old side can come up with is to dig a "road protection ditch" on both sides of the road, which is more than ten meters deep and seven or eight meters wide, or divert river water into it, or dig traps in the ditch.

The cost of building such a road is not insignificant, but the old side feels that it should be done in this way in order to ensure the absolute safety of the road.

Transportation is a difficult thing in this era.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, this is a classic saying of Lao Fang's era.

Of course, in this day and age, this truth has not changed.

With roads, the old side can deliver its resources to where they are needed.

The old man got up and walked towards the outside of the lumberyard.

There is a fish in the North Stygian that feels like he is dreaming, because his world has changed, not only is it changing, but it is changing very quickly, which makes him dizzy.

In the early morning, he reluctantly got up from the warm and soft kang, and he felt that he had never slept in such a comfortable place in his life since his mother came down.

Wide, flat, comfortable ...

I used to sleep in a cave, and on the cold ground, I spread a pile of grass and barely survived a winter.

The winter is long, and many times it is impossible to find food, and when I can't stand the hunger at night, I take hay to satisfy my hunger.

The grass sleeps less and less, and after a winter, people will become skinny and bone, and some people have not survived the long winter.

Cold, hungry like maggots attached to the bones, how to sleep peacefully in this situation? What's more, you have to worry about the beasts that are also hungry and still try their luck here and there in the cold and windy nights.

It's sad in winter, and it's not much comfortable in summer, more than a dozen people are crammed into the cave, some people can't help the stomach and make noise, and directly solve the needs of the cave in the cave, the temperature in the cave is slightly higher, and the air is filled with all kinds of stench accumulated by adults.

These stenches are nothing, after all, over time, the nose will get used to the smell, and the real discomfort is the mosquito bites, lice scurrying around everyone.

Once the skin itches, it is more uncomfortable than peeling your own skin, and after a summer, not an inch of the skin is intact, some are kiss marks left by mosquitoes, and some are uncontrollable, scratched out of the body with their fingernails.

In addition to the poor environment, more importantly, there is no sense of security, every time you close your eyes, it makes people worry, for fear that when you wake up, there will be an extra mouth in your throat.

But now, sleep is no longer a toss-and-turn thing that is difficult to fall asleep, the thick straw mat supports the body, far more comfortable than the hard stones, the quilt covered is burlap mixed with grass clippings, and the thick bed can completely retain the heat emitted by the body.

In addition to physical comfort, there is also a sense of security in the North Styls.

He saw with his own eyes that under the command of God, the entrance to the southeast had been blocked by huge stones, and except for the special species such as apes and pythons, most of the wild beasts could not climb in from the place that was more than ten meters high.

The other two exits have been dug deep ravines and installed with suspension bridges that are not even described in the books.

In addition, there are several groups of special people in these three places, who are guarding day and night.

There are fish in the North that feel very safe.

"With a good night's sleep, you have a good job!" This is Lao Fang's teaching, and you fish in the North Darkness remember every conversation between herself and Lao Fang, and also remember every meaningful word that Lao Fang inadvertently said.

In his eyes, Lao Fang is not just a god,

There is a fish in the north of the underworld began to dress, his clothes have three layers, the first layer is a garment made of linen, and recently, God has created a "spinning wheel", and this thin, soft garment in front of him is woven with a spinning wheel. The second layer is a burlap coat, and the third layer is a thick wild boar skin coat, with three layers inside and outside, fully armed, even in the cold winter, there are fish in the North Styls feel fearless.

Pulling open the door, a breath of fresh air greeted him, and the fish in the North Underworld breathed hard twice, the cold air made him feel refreshed, he looked at the sky, and the east was already white.

It seems that the time is not early, and at this time of day, I have long been "striking the iron shop".

The blacksmith is a very important part of the old plan.
