Rice is bound to be harvested on a large scale next year, and efficiency is also something that needs to be taken into account, and on average, one person has to be responsible for nearly an acre of land, and it is too torturous to use that kind of small stone knife.

Of course, the sickle used to harvest rice is not an ordinary one, and ordinary blades are good for cutting grass and trees, but it is not enough to use for harvesting rice.

Rice is no more than other things when harvested, it is already very yellow, the straw is full of toughness, although ordinary knives can also be cut, but it is not so easy to use, and the wear and tear of the blade is also very serious, especially in the tribe now can only use stones to polish knives.

There is a special prop for the harvest of rice, that is, the saw sickle, the saw sickle that Song Xuan has seen before is relatively narrow and long, but there is definitely no way to make it here in Teng Snake, if the stone is too narrow, it will not be so strong.

Therefore, Song Xuan still uses the ordinary sickle shape, but the blade has to be changed to a jagged shape, although it is not troublesome to make, and the ordinary stone knife program is not too bad, it is nothing more than more grinding and sawtooth links, but the demand among the tribe is still very large.

When harvesting rice, the wear of the blade is very large, no matter what shape it is made, it can only improve the experience during harvesting, and it does not have much benefit for wear resistance, and it may be changed to a jagged shape, which may increase the wear.

Song Xuan didn't know how much rice could be harvested with a sharpened sickle, but he didn't think it would be too much.

Therefore, if you want to speed up the efficiency of harvesting, you must have sufficient reserves, otherwise you will need to go up and polish it after harvesting, which is too time-consuming, and if the quantity is sufficient, then there can be some replacement.

Song Xuan estimated that one person would have to have three or four of them, so that he could have enough time to polish the replaced saw sickle for a specialized person.

If there is no good material, you can only use this most stupid method, Song Xuan is also trying to use bones to grind knives, although the bones are more wear-resistant, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to make sharp, I tried it before, and the effect is not good.

After listening to Song Xuan's introduction, everyone knew that this was a farm tool prepared for next year's harvested rice, and their enthusiasm was very high.

Although I don't love rice now, basically no one has any resistance, and compared with the effect it brings, the people of Tengsnake are still very happy to grow it.

Although listening to Song Xuan's introduction, they also knew that this saw sickle grinding was a bit complicated, but everyone still implemented it quickly, and even the children began to polish their own exclusive knives.

Changing the harvesting props, in addition to increasing efficiency, Song Xuan also wanted to make use of the straw in the field.

To be honest, the straw of those acres of land was finally burned this year, and Song Xuan was a little distressed, which was a very good ignition material.

In addition to being used for burning, the biggest use is that it can be used to build houses and make grass and mud, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The thatch around the tribe has basically been cut clean, and if you want to build a house, you can only go downstream to find it, although it is not uncommon on both sides of the river, but after all, it needs to be more troublesome, how can there be this straw to be convenient, and the number is more, if this land is all planted, I am afraid it is enough to use the snake for several years.

Even firewood will be used a lot less, although the straw does not last long when burned, but the flame is large enough, and the key is that the quantity is large, you can burn as much as you want.

After the work was made, the sound of smashing stones in the tribe never stopped.

In the tribe, the grinding of stone tools, except for a few stones that can be found by luck to match the size and shape of the stone and polish it directly, most of them have to be found from the fragments of large stone breaks.

This is also a matter of luck, even if you have a lot of experience, it is difficult to know what exactly a stone will be broken into, and the most you can do is to control the shape of the broken stone a little through small gaps.

But the requirements for good are not particularly high, as long as the appearance is basically similar, if you really want to make it like the one in Song Xuan's memory, it is estimated that each one needs a lot of energy to do it, as long as it can be used, there is no need to be too harsh.

After polishing, you can also directly take some hay to test, mainly to check whether it is smooth, and it is more convenient to adjust it before assembly.

Although inferior hay is more resilient than rice harvest, it is barely usable just for testing.

Song Xuan's tentative requirement for each person is three, even if each one doesn't last too long, the three will be able to turn away in the future, of course, there will definitely be a lot of people to be responsible for special polishing.

The manpower arrangement can only be readjusted after going to the ground next year, and there are not a few people who are going to the snake now, and it is relatively sufficient.

As long as everything goes smoothly, it shouldn't be a big problem.

………………

"Divine envoy, there are already more than thirty shields, can you let the leader use them first?"

Hearing Shi Ban's words, Song Xuan's eyes widened suddenly.

This efficiency was still very surprising to him, and it didn't take long for the two of them to finalize the size of the shield and various details after the winter.

I didn't worry much about it later, Song Xuan always thought that Shi Ban had always put his energy on the rattan armor, and he didn't make too many shields, so he didn't urge him because there was still a lot of time left in winter, but he didn't expect that more than thirty had already been made in the past month.

These shields are still different from the original ones, and compared to the previous ones, they will be relatively smaller, although the protective area is reduced, but they are more flexible to use.

At first, Song Xuan only took into account the protection problem, not the convenience of use, but after Shi Meng's repeated tests, he found that this kind of thing would be more convenient now.

The outermost layer will still be covered with a layer of animal skins, and some animal skins will also be stamped on the key parts of the inner layer, so the protective ability has not been reduced, but because these animal skins are carefully selected, they have a good protective effect for existing weapons.

"So much? Walk! Check it out......"

Shi Ban saw that Song Xuan seemed to have forgotten about this, but he didn't say anything, and took Song Xuan to their cooking room.

Whether it is normal or winter, Shi Ban makes things in a separate house, and only returns to the main house when they eat, so that one is to reduce the disturbance of others, and the other is that what they do still needs to be kept secret, whether it is Teng Snake's own people or captives, it is not suitable for too many people to know.

After their renovation, these two houses are also very different from before, Shi Ban directly led a few people to connect the two houses, and the scale is much larger than before.

In addition, there is a small room used as a warehouse, the warehouse is facing the house where Shi Ban lives, and the door has also made some anti-theft measures, the door is connected with more than a dozen ropes, all of them are taut, and some ropes are connected to some clay pots, and it is not so easy to untie these ropes.

Once you make a mistake, the clay pot will fall directly, and then it will cause a sound, and the people around can hear it clearly, which is also the most primitive anti-theft measures, which also borrowed a lot of trap techniques, but here it is more cumbersome.

The method of opening the door is currently only known to Song Xuan and Shi Ban, even if Shi Meng and them, they have to inform Shi Ban or Song Xuan first.

If it was in normal times, these doors would generally be opened only after Song Xuan's approval, but in winter, everyone was in the tribe, and it was relatively easy to supervise, so Song Xuan handed over this right to Shi Ban, after all, it was very troublesome to apply every time.

There are too many secrets of Teng Snake involved in this small warehouse, not to mention that most of them are already prepared weapons, and they can be used directly when they are taken out, Song Xuan is not careful.

Everyone can understand Song Xuan's arrangement, after all, Teng Snake is no longer the original Teng Snake, there were dozens of people when he first came, and they were all from his own tribe, so naturally he didn't need to think too much, but with the entry of the captives and the addition of everyone in Heishui behind.

These things naturally have to be taken into consideration, especially those captives, although they are very obedient one by one, but no one knows if any of them have backbones.

As for whether it is useful or not, Song Xuan is not clear, but there should still be a deterrent, and there are a few here, and ordinary people are not allowed to come over.

After tedious decoding, Shi Ban opened the room, pointed to the shield on the central shelf and said:

"Divine messenger, that's all, thirty-five in all!"

Although the number is not too much, it can barely form a large scale.

"Okay, let's all move out!"

Holding seven or eight shields halfway through, Song Xuan suddenly thought of the rattan armor again, and every time he came to see, Shi Ban was generally pondering the production of rattan armor.

Although the general shape has been finalized a long time ago, the details still need to be optimized, and compared with the shield, the rattan armor is much more cumbersome to make, so naturally it is not possible to do too much in a while.

Hearing Song Xuan ask, Shi Ban was also a little embarrassed:

"Divine envoy, only two sets were made!"

For this progress, Song Xuan is also quite satisfied, since it has been produced in batches, then it is good to take it slowly, although the two may be very important for Teng Snake's future struggles, but this is also something that cannot be rushed.

"It's just that there aren't too many branches to prepare, God's angel, why don't you use the shield first?"

A large number of branches were scrapped in the previous research of rattan armor, and there are also rattan basket tasks in the tribe, and there are not many needs, one and two, even if Shi Ban prepared some before, but it seems to be a little stretched at present, and it is still a little difficult to take care of both.

"Okay, then let's make more shields first, and take your time with the rattan armor!"
