The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 417 Ship Model
The tenth year since the establishment of the Mang tribe, at the end of the third month of autumn.

Between the Lobster River and the moat, a very large artificial lake was excavated. This artificial lake is different from the previous artificial lake.

This artificial lake is actually the shipyard of the Mang tribe. It is surrounded by high walls and guarded by special personnel, and no one is allowed to approach it casually.

Inside the high wall, some carpenters from the Mang tribe, together with craftsmen from the Yu tribe brought by Bibo, worked together to improve the original ship and develop a new type of sea-going ship.

"This is the chart of the ship drawn by the leader. Take a good look at it. By the way, the leader also said that you can make a model first. Do you know the model? It is to make the ship the size of a palm and use it for experiments."

Bibo handed over the blueprint drawn by Chen Bei to the craftsmen who built the ship. It was the first time that these craftsmen saw that the ship could be built like this.

"Miss Bibo, is the bottom of this boat too deep?"

A craftsman pointed to the pointed bottom of the ship, frowning slightly. He had never seen the sea, so he couldn't imagine what the use of such a bottom was.

This goes against their experience.

Bibo said: "Just like this, first build a model, and then put it in the water for a try, don't you know?"

"Then... that's fine."

If someone else took such a blueprint, these craftsmen could drown him with spittle.

But they dare not neglect the things drawn by the leader. In the Mang tribe, who dares to question the leader?
The craftsmen quickly got to work, using some small wooden boards to assemble a model ship similar to the drawings, it couldn't be easier for them.

Especially after the bronze utensils were popularized among the Mang tribe, various tools such as saws and chisels were very sharp, and making wooden utensils was much easier than before.

It didn't take long for a model of a sea ship more than one foot long to be manufactured.

Its bottom is very deep, much deeper than a flat-bottomed boat, and its front and rear are pointed, like a shuttle, completely different from a river boat.

Craftsmen even fitted it with small sails and added stones inside the boat to serve as ballast.

Bibo looked at the model ship, and she had a premonition that this was the most suitable ship for sailing at sea, because she had experience of sailing at sea.

"Make another model of the big ship we are using now, and put it into the water together for an experiment."

Under Bibo's order, those craftsmen got busy again, and soon made a model of a river boat.

Because it is a familiar boat, the model of the river boat is more delicate than the sea boat, and it looks like a beautiful work of art.

"Now, put them all together in the water."

With excitement, Bibo put the models of the two ships into the lakeside of the artificial lake, and those craftsmen also followed. They wanted to see what the purpose of the sea boat drawn by the leader was.

"Fan the wind!"

Bibo asked people to find two relatively thin wooden boards, and then ruthlessly fanned the wind on the two big ships.

There are sails on the two ship models, so when the wind blows, they sail slowly.

"Fan bigger!"

Under Bibo's command, the wind fan increased his strength, and the two ship models in the water were shaken by the strong wind.

Those craftsmen were surprised to find that the flat-bottomed river boat model swayed the most, while the pointed-bottomed sea boat model was much more stable, probably because it had a deeper draft.

"Stir the water."

Bibo took a paddle and stirred it from side to side in the water. There were waves on the surface of the water, and as her strength increased, the waves became higher and higher.

The ship model in the water shook violently, and the river boat model suddenly turned over while shaking. It could not bear such a big wave.

The sea-going ship model lasted longer, not only because of its deep water draft, but also because of its sharp bow and stern, which have a certain wave-breaking function.

Bibo put down the oars, picked up the overturned river boat model, and said to the craftsman, "Do you understand now? The sea wind and waves are not something our current boat can bear."

Bibo picked up the ship model again, and said, "The ship drawn by the leader is the most suitable for sailing on the sea."

The leading craftsman said convincingly: "The leader is really amazing, we will build ships like this in the future."

Bibo said: "Naturally, we need to build sea-going ships. We also need to build the ships we use now. We still need to rely on these ships to travel the river and do business with other tribes."

The leading craftsman said: "Then build the two kinds of ships together."

Bibo nodded, picked up the ship model, and said, "This model is pretty good, I took it back, you guys can make another one yourself."

Bibo left with the sea ship model, and those craftsmen honestly made another sea ship model according to the drawings drawn by Chen Bei.

This time, no one questioned the role of this kind of sea-going ship anymore, and their admiration for Chen Bei went up to a new level.

Leader, you are really amazing, you can do everything.

……

On the outskirts of the Mang tribe, there are scattered wooden houses in the woods, which have gathered a large number of tourists over the years.

These tourists work for the Mang tribe, and then exchange some food and living materials for a living.

Among them, some would choose to join the Mang Tribe, while some did not want to or could not join the Mang Tribe due to various reasons, and it was difficult to survive in other places, so they settled down around the Mang Tribe.

The Mang Tribe also often needed help with work, so Chen Bei acquiesced to this employment relationship.

However, because the personnel of these tourists is too complicated, Chen Bei has not let down his vigilance, and always pays attention to the movement of these tourists, so as not to cause trouble.

"Come to live!"

In the scattered wooden houses, someone yelled, and then all the tourists came out. They were scrambling for the first, fearing that they would be snatched away.

Because the Mang tribe doesn't need people every day, and the number of people working each time is not certain, so if they don't actively grab them, they may not be able to work.

If there is no work, it means that there is no food, and it is likely to starve to death.

Therefore, these tourists can only do their best to grab jobs. Those who can't get them for a long time will be eliminated soon, and they must either leave here or die.

"What's the job this time?"

"How many people do you want?"

The tourists asked questions in a hurry, the young and strong crowded in the front, the weaker, and the old, weak, sick and disabled waited eagerly on the periphery.

"Digging canals and paving roads will require two hundred people, and those with strong bodies will be given priority." The warriors of the Mang tribe told them the answer loudly.

"I I I..."

"I am the strongest, and I have plenty of strength!"

Those tourists showed their strength one after another, wishing they could all be selected.

"Stop arguing!"

The soldiers of the Mang tribe roared, and those people suddenly didn't dare to make any more noise, and all became quiet.

"I choose whoever I pick, and if anyone quarrels again, I don't want it!"

The warriors of the Mang tribe began to pick one by one. Those who were selected were very happy, but those who were not selected were very disappointed and could only wait for the next time.

Among them, a few tourists who were selected looked at each other vaguely, and then followed the soldiers of the Mang tribe.
