The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 119 Wooden Wheel Cart

"First level the ground, widen it, and then smash the ground, and then spread a layer of gravel on it, and then a layer of gravel on top of the gravel. The road behind will follow this standard."

After Chen Bei supervised the captives to repair the road for two days, he handed over the matter to the totem warriors for supervision, because it was not too complicated, as long as every step was put in place.

As for himself, he turned his attention to the wooden cart.

Chen Bei came to the carpenter's workshop, found the "root" of the carpenter, and drew his thoughts on the animal skin.

"This is a wooden wheel vehicle. The difficult part is to make the wooden wheel, and the bearing, which is where the wheel connects to the stick."

Chen Bei pointed to the wooden wheel on the animal skin roll, and said: "First of all, this wooden wheel must be made round enough, and the two wheels must be consistent, otherwise it will not turn smoothly."

"I thought so."

Chen Bei found a rope and two sticks, tied the rope to one of the sticks loosely to ensure that the rope would not get tangled when turning, and then inserted the stick into the soil.

The other stick straightens the rope, and then draws a circle around the middle stick.

Soon, a shallow circle appeared on the ground.

Gen and his apprentices were stunned. They had never thought that they could draw circles in this way.

They used to make round things more by feeling, by eyesight.

"The leader is really amazing, such a simple method, why didn't I think of it?"

"Yeah, the leader can always come up with a lot of useful things."

……

When the people in the carpenter's workshop looked at Chen Bei, their eyes were filled with admiration. In their view, Chen Bei was omnipotent and omnipotent.

Chen Bei said to Gen: "We can find strong wood and make a wooden board, and then use this method to draw a circle on the wooden board, and then hollow out the place that needs to be hollowed out, and then we can get the simplest wooden wheel. .”

Gen nodded seriously and said: "Leader, I understand, I must make two wooden wheels of the same size."

Chenbei didn't set his sights too high. He expected the carpenter to make exquisite wheels. He only had one requirement, that is, simplicity and practicality.

"Next is this bearing."

Chen Bei has been thinking about how to do this wooden bearing for several days. At first, he thought of just putting a strong wooden rod on the wheel and forgetting about it.

But in that case, the friction force is bound to be very large, and if it is pulled a little heavier, it will wear out quickly, and it will be useless in a short time.

After thinking hard, he finally came up with a solution, which is to make two simple ball bearings.

"This bearing is a little more complicated, try as much as you can."

Chen Bei pointed to the disassembly schematic diagram on the animal skin roll, and said: "Simply put, it is to make two rings. We can make them bigger and thicker, but just like the wheels, they must be very round."

"Put these two rings together, put wooden beads in the middle, and then oil them to make sure they're lubricated, and on either side of the ring, use two boards, sandwich them in between, make sure the beads don't fall out."

This thing is simple and simple, but the complexity lies in its precision. For primitive tribes with backward tools, it is actually a bit difficult to manufacture this thing.

There is no way, Chenbei can only settle for the next best thing, since he can't make fine or small ones, he should make them thicker or bigger, in this case, a little roughness is acceptable.

If you use wood to make small rolling bearings, I'm afraid it will explode when the weight is pressed.

But what about making it bigger?The wooden bead is as big as a fist, and the ring is tens of centimeters thick, so is it easy to be crushed?

Root scratched his messy hair, obviously, the things Chen Bei asked to make were too difficult.

Those apprentices also felt a little confused. The wooden wheel was easy to understand, but this rolling bearing was really beyond their knowledge.

Chen Bei saw their embarrassment, so he said: "Don't worry, this time I will study and manufacture together with you, and it will be the best if I can make it. If I can't make it, I don't blame you."

Hearing this sentence, Gen and his apprentices were all relieved, since the leader is also doing it together, there is nothing to be afraid of.

For the next half month, Chenbei spent most of his time in the carpenter's workshop, using very simple and primitive tools to make the first wooden wheeled cart of the Mang tribe.

The first thing to be done is the carriage of the wooden wheeled cart. This thing is not difficult, and it was manufactured in a few days. It is a cart with baffles.

Then there is the bearing, and only after the bearing is made, can the wooden wheel be made according to the size of the bearing.

During this period of time, people in the tribe could often see Chen Bei thinking hard and walking around restlessly.

It is extremely difficult to process more complicated things with extremely simple tools.

For example, in order to drill holes, Chen Bei had to work hard to manufacture the ancient manual drill.

In order to make the wooden beads round, he tried his best to make a set of simple car bamboo equipment.

The carpenters were very happy, because Chen Bei created one tool after another, which they would use in the future.

The image of Chen Bei in their hearts is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a god.

……

In this way, after tossing and tossing for a month, Chenbei's hair was almost finished by him, and finally, the first wooden wheeled cart of the Mang tribe was manufactured.

Although each part is very rough, and the whole wooden cart looks very ugly to Chenbei, it means that the Mang tribe has bid farewell to the era of relying on shoulders and hands.

"Leader, try it."

The carpenter and his apprentices excitedly pulled the wooden cart to the new road built by the tribe.

People in the tribe came out to watch, usually there were no entertainment activities in the tribe, and it was rare for something new to appear, so everyone naturally wanted to join in the fun.

Chenbei asked the old deer to bring a relatively docile bison and let the bison pull the cart.

A boomerang-shaped wooden stick is slung over the bison's shoulders, attached to a noose, and strapped to the two front beams of the two-wheeled vehicle.

The bison was obviously not used to it, walking around restlessly in place.

The old deer walked forward holding the rein of the bull, and the bison with its nose strung could only walk forward obediently.

The buffalo drove the wooden cart forward, and the wheels on the wooden wheel started to spin. On the flat road, the cart ran fairly smoothly.

"We did it!"

The carpenter and the apprentices cheered. They spent an untold amount of effort for this wooden wheeled cart. At night, they would dream of making a wooden wheeled cart.

Chen Bei was also a little excited, but he was the leader, so naturally he couldn't be too unsteady, but he didn't hide the joy on his face.

Chen Bei said: "Put something heavy on the car to have a look."

The old deer pulled the buffalo to the side of the road, and those totem warriors who watched the excitement loaded a lot of stones on the wooden cart.

The old deer led the buffalo forward again, the wooden cart was still running smoothly, and the buffalo didn't seem to be struggling.

"Phew, ugly is ugly, but it's not bad to use."

Chen Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After tossing and tossing for so long, it was finally not in vain.

Chen Bei said to the carpenter: "The wooden cart has been successfully built. In the carpenter's workshop, everyone will be rewarded with [-] catties of animal meat and [-] catties of fish!"

"Thank you boss!"

The carpenter and his apprentices were so excited that they almost jumped up. The tribal people like this kind of real reward.
