Chapter 14 Proposals for Improving Transport Efficiency
Often some appropriate resource tilt can make people feel respected.
That's how the Eagle Tribe's Stone Carver House felt when they checked into the bamboo house last night.
Yesterday, the Eagle Tribe built four new bamboo houses.
Originally, there should have been three rooms according to the schedule, but with Uncle Pan's 'great help', four rooms were built.
Zhang Duo said that as long as Uncle Pan does not cut bamboo, but goes as a candidate to fix the bamboo pillar, it is quite reliable.
As for the order in which the houses were built, there is no doubt that the first and second rooms are from Panhecang.
In the choice of the third bamboo house, Pan originally thought that Zhang Duo would choose to give priority to other members of the hunting team or build one for himself first.
But Zhang Duo chose the third room for Lao She.
It's quite unexpected, but Zhang Duo has his own ideas.
Stonecarvers assumed the role of making tools, weapons, and other equipment in primitive tribes.
But this is not the most important thing in Zhang Duo's view.
The most important thing is that the stonecarvers know the properties of the materials, how to use the tools, and the production process.
These skills were the most important for the development of primitive tribes.
You must know that the division of the era of primitive people in the memory of the previous life is not divided by the era of a certain tribe.
It's the Stone Age, the Metal Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age!
The progress of these times is not driven by individual prowess, but by technological innovation.
It is because primitive people have mastered more ways of smelting, manufacturing, and building tools that the progress of the times has been promoted.
Therefore, in Zhang Duo's view, this era is not only the heroic hunters and warriors of the tribe worthy of admiration.
As a craftsman who quietly supports the development of the tribe behind it, it is also great.
Of course, the development of the tribe is also inseparable from the progress of other tribesmen in all aspects, but there is no doubt that the progress of craftsmen occupies a large proportion in the development of the tribe.
What's more, Zhang Duo also has some ideas of his own, and wants to use Lao She to realize them.
Zhang Duo made a rough estimate of what he and the leader needed to bring to exchange items when they went out to trade this time.
He initially estimated that he would need to bring about 300 catties of salt, as well as a large amount of salted fish and some other items.
You must know that the warriors of the Eagle Tribe are currently only fifty people, even if they do not go out hunting.
I am afraid that the outgoing trade belt will also need to stay in the tribe with at least 20 people to protect the safety of the tribe.
Then it was a little difficult for the thirty people who went out to take these things with them.
What's more, I'm afraid there will be more things to carry when I come back from the transaction.
Most of the current means of transportation that Zhang Duo understands are limited by manpower.
Most of them are shoulder-carrying, overhead, carrying and other means.
As for the way to drive domesticated animals, such as horses, camels, buffaloes, etc., into a tool for transport, it is not impossible, but the eagle tribe does not have these animals at present.
According to the patriarch, the wolf tribe, which is the enemy of the tribe, can domesticate wolves.
However, there are no domesticated animals from other small tribes in the trading belt.
Zhang Duo thought about it, and the trading belt was surrounded by some small tribes.
Usually even eating is a problem, where is the energy to domesticate.
Even if you see some livestock that can be domesticated, I am afraid that my eyes will shine and go up and catch them and eat them.
After all, people will have a lot of troubles after they are full, but when people are hungry, there is only one problem that they want to be full.
Although Zhang Duo traveled over the time not long.
But after the arrival of Zhang Duo, the Eagle Tribe has gradually moved away from the status of starvation.
This is already a big step forward for the small tribes around the trading belt.
For the inconvenience of human transportation.
Zhang Duo's idea was to commission Lao She to build two trolleys.
The trolley thing, he thought about it carefully.
With current technology, it may not be impossible to reproduce.
It's worth giving it a try, as if the cart is successfully crafted, it will improve the efficiency of the Eagle Tribe's transportation to a certain extent.
And since the tribe's recent course of action is to collect supplies for the winter, it is not focused on hunting.
It also led to Lao She not having much to do recently, and Zhang Duo felt that finding something for Lao She to do at this time would not delay other things in the tribe.
So after communicating with the leader last night, early in the morning.
Zhang Duo came to the outside of Lao She's bamboo house, and at this moment, Lao She was looking at the bamboo house outside the bamboo house in a daze.
Since he was bitten on the ankle by a wolf on the way to hunt, he withdrew from the front line of the tribe.
Although he is also respected by the clansmen, compared with the envious eyes of the clansmen yesterday, it is the eyes of the clansmen yesterday that make Lao She feel more satisfied.
I never thought that after I quit the hunting team, there would be such a beautiful day.
So after seeing Zhang Duo coming, Lao She welcomed Zhang Duo into his Hsinchu house very enthusiastically.
Zhang Duo didn't say too much to explain his intentions.
He even described it with a metaphor, but Lao She only understood part of it.
Seeing this, Zhang Duo drew on the ground with a branch again.
The first thing to do is to make a frame: you can make a platform from wood or branches to use as the base of the frame. The platform can be rectangular or oval, depending on the demand and available materials. Make sure the frame is structurally stable and able to withstand the required loads.
The second step is to make the wheel: make the wheel from wood and tree blocks. The wood is cut into discs and drilled in the middle to secure to the frame. Make sure that both wheels are the same size and can turn smoothly.
The third part installs the wheels: attach the wheels to the sides of the frame and use wooden pegs to restrict the wheels for fastening. Make sure the wheels are parallel and stable with the frame for smooth pushing of the trolley.
In the current era, this is basically the only way to do this, and it is obviously unrealistic to make suspension systems or bearings as it does today.
Although the process seems simple, it still requires Lao She's creativity and skills to overcome the various challenges that may be encountered during the production process.
After Zhang Duo drew his own thoughts, Lao She understood.
He also felt that he might not be able to give it a try.
His ideas were not explicitly denied by Lao She, which made Zhang Duo see some hope for success.
He looked forward to Lao She really being able to do it, so that it would be much more convenient for the tribe to trade this time, whether it was to bring things or transport things back.
Before leaving, he asked Lao She if he needed any other help.
Lao She hesitated, Zhang Duo knew that this was something that needed help, but he wasn't sure if he could solve it, so Lao She hesitated.
Zhang Duo said bluntly: "Uncle She, if you have any questions, you can tell me directly, I will definitely assist if I can assist you, and if I can't do it, I will go to the leader to ask for it, so if you have something to say, it's good to say it directly." ”
Seeing Zhang Duo say this, Lao She didn't hesitate: "I think it's best to have someone to beat me, I don't need him to have much strength and a strong body." As long as he is dexterous and can calm down and listen to my command. After all, I'm a cripple, and it's fine to bang stone tools alone, but if you want to make something new, then it's not so convenient. ”
Zhang Duo thought about Lao She's needs, and he suddenly thought of a person, Lin, who fished with him last time, could ask Lin to assist Lao She!
The last time Lin learned to make bamboo clips with himself, he thought Lin was very talented.
It would be most appropriate to let Lin cooperate.
However, he still needs to ask Lin if he is willing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Duo replied: "I have a goal that meets your requirements, I'll ask him what he thinks, if he has no opinion, then I'll let him come over to your side in the afternoon!" ”
After Lao She nodded, Zhang Duo said goodbye to Lao She.
Lao She in the bamboo house didn't expect that Zhang Duo really had a candidate, and he couldn't help but look forward to it, knowing that he was also very old, although he didn't have to participate in hunting, but he had a lot of dark wounds when he was young.
There is no suitable successor yet, if the person introduced by Zhang Duo is suitable this time, then he is also willing to pass on his skills to this person.
