"This is a cellar, which can be used to store food, such as vegetables and fruits, and it is also very hidden, and outsiders will not be able to find the food we store in it without the guidance of our tribesmen. Shen Nong explained: "But you look at it, and immediately go back to me after reading it, and then make the tools I want, do you hear?"

"I hear you. The four of them hurriedly replied.

As a craftsman, it is normal for the four people of Cang to be curious about building a cellar, and Shen Nong has no intention of not letting them see it, after all, seeing too much of this kind of thing can also expand their thinking about carpentry, which is helpful for future craftsmanship improvement.

Seeing this, Shen Nong immediately commanded the clansmen standing on the edge of the pit to hand the wooden planks downward, and asked Xiong Yao's and others to spread these wooden planks in a parallel pattern throughout the pit.

At the same time, Shen Nong also handed a stone knife down, and asked Xiong Sickle to hollow out the four corners of the pit, and then dig a shallow hole for each of them, so that the clansmen at the edge of the pit could insert the four wooden beams and pillars into it.

In this way, the basic structure of the cellar has been completed, and it is only necessary to dig a ramp to the cellar next to it and cover the cellar with the top and soil, and a most basic bone cellar is completed.

Shen Nong asked several clansmen to dig a slope next to them with bone fragments, and he personally commanded the capping of the cellar.

The so-called capping is the construction of a ceiling-like roof on four beams and columns, which prevents the soil above the cellar from spilling and collapsing, and at the same time acts as a support.

The construction of this kind of roof is also very particular, not that you put a whole piece of wood on top of the four beams and columns, let the beams and columns hold up, if you do this, the stress point of the entire ceiling will be completely concentrated in the center of the plank, and then the plank will bend over time, until one day the force is excessive, the wood board cracks and breaks and collapses directly, and the whole cellar will be destroyed in a flash.

So in response to this kind of problem, Shen Nong chose the hollow-shaped construction method, which is why he asked the tribesmen to cut out so many wooden planks.

Four beams and columns were erected in the cellar, and the four beams and columns were regarded as the four points of ABCD, and a square plate was laid above the two beams and columns of AB, then one above the two beams and columns of BC, then one above the two beams and columns of CD, and finally one piece was laid on the two beams and columns of DA.

In this way, a hollow shape is formed as the basis of the ceiling, but at this time, the central part of the ceiling is still empty, so it is necessary to lay out the planks horizontally from left to right on the hollow shape, so that each wooden board is tightly and impermeable together, so as to fill the vacancy of the ceiling. The cellar is also considered to be officially formed.

The next step is to repeat the steps just now, and the cellar roof is laid until it is strong, and you can cover the roof with soil.

Under the command of Shen Nong, the cellar slowly took shape, and the slope leading to the inside of the cellar next to it was also dug up.

"Cover the earth. Shen Nong gave an order, and all the surrounding clansmen picked up the soil on the ground and threw it on the roof of the cellar, and soon, the figure of the cellar disappeared, leaving only a piece of dirt that seemed to have been renovated.

"Lay wooden planks on the slopes and roads to prevent the ground from slipping, so that the tribesmen can easily enter and exit, Xiong Sickle, you put in those salts and the vegetables they brought back yesterday, and the food of the tribe will be stored in the cellar in the future. Shen Nong said.

"Okay. Xiong Yao looked curiously at the swarthy entrance of the corridor, and then picked up a bag of animal skin square bags and walked into the corridor.

"Ahh It wasn't long before the sound of Bear Scythe's surprise came from the cellar, and the lack of lighting in the cellar was obviously a hindrance.

"Put it away and get out quickly, don't waste time inside. Shen Nong shouted towards the entrance of the cellar.

Because of the fact that it has just been built, the current cellar has not been further improved, these can only wait for Shen Nong to slowly prepare in the future, at least he has not yet figured out what the lighting tools in the cellar should use, if you use torches, the hidden danger is too big, if the fire accidentally splashes out and falls on those animal skin square bags, it is easy to let the fire expand, and then burn the entire cellar made of wood, and all the food stored by the Huangqiu tribe will be wiped out.

After the bear sickle walked out of the cellar, the tribesmen carried food and animal skin bags into the cellar one by one, everyone wanted to feel the house hidden underground, but the lack of light obviously reduced their sense of experience, and some of the tribesmen even tripped in the cellar, and came out with a blue nose and swollen face.

"Wu, this cellar is really secret. Xiong Yao, who had experienced the cellar, walked up to Shen Nong and said with emotion.

"So we don't have to worry about the people of the Tushan tribe finding us here and discovering the whereabouts of those salts. Shen Nong nodded reassuringly, according to the memories left by his predecessor, he learned that the Tushan tribe was a tribe with a comprehensive strength far exceeding that of Huangqiu, and the number of warriors owned by the other party was about three times that of the Huangqiu tribe, and it also domesticated a lot of mixed-blood fierce beasts as war beasts that warriors rode out.

If there is a conflict between the two tribes, the Huangqiu tribe has no hope of victory, especially at the moment, the third team does not know where to explore, and there are only two warriors in the Huangqiu tribe, Xiong Sickle and Chi, once the war with the Tushan tribe is started because of the salt, the Huangqiu tribe will be wiped out in an instant, and the end will be very miserable.

After the tribesmen put all the animal skin bags into the cellar, Shen Nong asked people to put a square wooden board on top of the entrance of the corridor, completely cover the entrance, and then sprinkle some soil on the wooden board so that the entrance could not be detected by outsiders.

"Alright. Shen Nong stepped on the soil a few times and said: "Let's all disperse, if you have something to do, go and do your own business, if you have nothing to do, help me go to the forest to cut some wood and come back, the number is not limited, the more the better, I will have a big project similar to a cellar to do in a few days, and I need a lot of wood." ”

When everyone heard Shen Nong's words, they immediately became excited, and they were all curious about what Wu wanted to do, but Shen Nong kept silent about it and insisted on absolute secrecy.

Anyway, if he really said it, these people wouldn't understand it, and in the end it would be a waste of saliva, so it would be better to wait until the day when Beibang and Pan made the tools, and then take them to the construction site to explain on the spot.
