The days of surviving on a desert island with a flight attendant

The bitten animal stopped screaming after struggling and choking a few times. It is usually quieter at night than during the day, so the sound of the thing chewing on the bone can also be heard clearly. It is certain that the bitten animal It should be the wild jackal that often squats at our door, a carnivorous canine that is smaller than a wolf.

I remember that they all live in groups. They are all hunter-level in the ecological chain. Even if they can’t hunt for food, they are rarely hunted back. However, I can hear one of them tonight. The staff screamed and were swallowed and eaten. It seemed that the thing they saw was really terrifying.

"That thing has already started trying to use this place as a hunting ground, and we don't have enough time. Are you sure you can make something so complicated? Let alone a lot of skillful work, even if you can do it, we can't make it in one night. Coming out will take time and effort, and may delay things, so let’s make a cart.” I said.

"I can do it, but I have only done miniature carpentry before, but I know the parts and principles, so you just saw the parts according to my requirements, try to be as smooth as possible, and I can drive out wooden cows and horses. " Yingchun said.

"Brother Zhou Bo, my sister does have this ability. Why don't we try it? Back then, it was difficult to transport food along the Shu Road. It was because of Prime Minister Zhuge's wooden oxen and horses that overcame the danger of the Shu Road. The ones we roughly drove out were not as good as those made by fine craftsmanship. Okay, but at least we will save a lot of effort when transporting goods tomorrow, the scooters are mostly used on some flat roads in the market, and the mountain roads are rugged and steep, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult." Song Bailu persuaded.

"Anyway, the scooter needs to be produced, so why not use a little more to see if it can be produced quickly." Yunwen said.

Since they all said that, I don't want to disobey everyone's wishes, so I can only agree to this plan, but my heart is mostly ups and downs, and I am afraid that this girl is not capable and will delay my work.

"Well, since everyone has said so, I have no objection, so we will follow this plan. Now we will immediately divide into two teams, Yunwen, you and Bailu are responsible for cutting the wheat straw with stone slices, and harvesting to a certain extent. When measuring, tie them up with straw and put them on the ground so that they can be carried away easily. If there is any danger, the whistle will be blown immediately, while the other team, Yingchun and I, will be responsible for quickly making the wooden cow and horse." I said.

The girls nodded, and Yunwen and Bailu also went out to the Medina with torches.

Yingchun and I discussed the details of the production in the house. She probably couldn't explain it clearly, and I couldn't ask for details. The last way was for her to use charcoal to draw the required parts and sizes on the ground, and I followed her request. Just complete them one by one.

Fortunately, not all the wood sawed before was burned, and there were still some piled up, which could just be used.

Yingchun became more serious about her carpentry work. After I got the wood, she planned to make a sample for me first. She brought a saw and sawed off a piece of wood about two knuckles thick. After drawing a line on the wood piece with black charcoal, Then I started sawing the wood, roughly sawing out a fan, and then cut off the excess with a bayonet knife, and asked me to saw out four for reference.

I grew up in the countryside, and this saw is better than hers. It took about a stick of incense to saw what she asked for. Two rectangular mortises, after seeing that I made them, she proceeded to process the other three fan-shaped wood pieces in the same way, and at the same time draw rectangular wooden strips with mortise on the ground for me to make, a total of eight pieces are needed, There are also four relatively short, but just ordinary small wooden sticks.

Since there is no detailed measurement, we can only use my knuckles as a measurement standard, one knuckle, two knuckles, to indicate the distance between the wood, and the direct width of my index finger is basically one centimeter, which can be regarded as Relative standards, Song Yingchun took a fancy to this point, specially found a useless wooden strip, used charcoal to measure it with the width of my finger, and drew ten strokes, it was almost ten centimeters, and used it as a ruler.

My saw is pretty good, and I quickly finished what I needed to do. When I did it, she almost finished the end. Then she asked me to make an octagonal rhombus, and I quickly sawed it out for her. Refinement, for the sake of assembly line work, she arranged the next task, and I saw that she used a bayonet to carve out a small octagonal rhombus in the middle of the octagonal rhombus, and then inserted a small piece of wood that fit perfectly. The hollow in the middle of the wood piece was a round.

Until now, I still can't see what she is doing, until she combined the four fans with four small wooden strips, combined the wooden tenons of the slightly longer wooden strips with the mortise of the inner orientation of the fans, and then used the same The principle of mortise and tenon connects the octagonal rhombus in the center, and the whole looks like a wooden wheel!

"Wow! Is this a wheel?" I couldn't help but pick it up and weigh it.

Since this is the mortise and tenon technique used in ancient times, it is particularly strong, and it is not easy to fall apart if it is not deliberately disassembled.

Not long after, Yunwen and Bailu also finished their work and came in. Seeing the ingenious appearance of the wheel, they couldn't help admiring Yingchun and me, but Yingchun refused to accept it. After all, it was all in her mind. , and I'm just a layman.

It’s faster for four people to work, and I will get most of the big parts, and those mortise and tenon wood chips at the end, and an octagonal wooden strip that is polished with stones. Cylindrical shapes and the like, these are all done by the girls, and during this period, Yingchun is basically doing and directing.

The engineering work is getting faster and faster.

I used to think that wooden cattle and horses were difficult to complete, but now it is subdivided into individual parts for assembly, which is basically an assembly line that can be completed. The only difficulty is the use of those woodworking mortise and tenon joints, and these Technology is also what Yingchun is good at.

Soon the parts were completed one by one. After Yunwen had completely ground the octagonal wooden strips into a cylinder, Yingchun made two mortises on the edge of the cylindrical wooden strips, and at the same time used the wooden tenons that had been prepared in advance. For the plug, insert the cylindrical wooden bar into the middle circle of the assembled wheel just now, and after all the parts are combined, lock the cylindrical wooden mortise with a wooden tenon plug.

The whole wooden cow and horse is completed in this way. The so-called silky fastening is what I feel about it. All the parts are arranged and combined, and the way of mortise and tenon connection is basically finer than many modern crafts.

I saw that it looks similar to a single-wheel cart, but it is more compact, and it can even feel that some weight can be ignored when pushed. There is a combined wooden slot on it, and a lot of things can be placed beside the wooden slot. The most important thing is, If it walks on the mountain road, it is not afraid of bumps, and the device is simple but has a lot of skillful workmanship. It can walk and stop, avoiding many dangers.

Before we knew it, the whole night had passed, the sun had come out, we were all immersed in the production line, forgetting to be tired, and after the thing was completely finished, we each stretched our waists and showed our tiredness. state.

Then I put the harvested bundles of wheat into the wooden slot. The capacity here is pretty good. There are so many bundles of wheat that can fit most of them, and the rest are tied on both sides with ropes. A few pieces of wood with long fungus are also tied, so that all the belongings can be transported, and it can help save labor when it is critical to use it.

In this regard, I couldn't help saying: "The wisdom of the ancestors is really infinite."

"It's our Yingchun sister who is capable, right?" Yunwen said.

I nodded immediately, she was really helpful!

"It's nothing, this can't be called Wooden Niu Liuma yet, because the bull's head has not been finished yet, and there is not enough time. If there is a chance, make the bull's head and press it to be considered complete. This is at most a semi-finished product." Song Yingchun said proudly .
