I am a Primitive Man

There were no less than ten people, including Han Cheng, standing by the river of the Qingque Tribe.

In the river, sailboats with white sails sailed on the water.

It's just that it is different from relying on wind power to sail in the past. At this time, the sailing of the sailboat basically has nothing to do with the sails and the wind.

The sailor standing at the stern of the sailboat held the 'rudder' made by Han Cheng and others with both hands and shook it back and forth from side to side.

With his shaking, the sailboat began to move forward.

At the same time, after such a period of familiarity, this person has become quite proficient in controlling this new type of tool.

In addition, there is previous experience in rowing with oars, so using this 'rudder' can also control the direction of the boat very well.

Lie and others stood on the shore, watching such a scene, grinning from ear to ear.

They felt that they and others had already made the rudder and successfully solved the big problem of steering the sailboat.

Han Cheng also had some smiles on his face, but compared with the smiles of Lie and the others, there were still some differences, which seemed a bit far-fetched.

Because he knows that what he and others are making now is not a rudder, but a tool called a scull.

Although the scull can also control the steering of the ship, its function is obviously not as good as that of the rudder.

Otherwise, in later generations, people would not install rudders to steer large ships, but would use sculls instead.

Oars are obviously not very suitable for installation on sailboats.

Now it seems that it is very good to use it to push the sailboat forward. In fact, the current sailboat is just a model, or a miniature version of the sailboat.

If the boat is small, the scull can naturally push it, but when the boat is big, it will be impossible to use the scull.

However, it is not a bad thing to accidentally discover the scull at this time.

Because in addition to sailboats, there are other small boats in the tribe.

It is not suitable to install oars on sailboats, but it does not mean that it is not appropriate to install oars on other small boats.

Wait until someone makes some sculls,

Put it on a slightly modified Horde ship.

In this way, in the Time Tribe, there will not only be boats propelled by oars, but also boats propelled by sculls.

As for the rudder...

Han Cheng's gaze once again turned to the sailboat running forward under the propulsion of the scull in the river, with some smiles on his face.

After going through the initial confusion when the rudder turned into a scull, Han Cheng's thinking has become clear at this time.

This device, which was born out of a fish tail, now looks like a real fish tail, and has two functions.

One is to push the boat forward, and the other is to turn.

On a galleon, the first function is basically not used.

Because I don't know how big the scull is to be able to push the big sailboat forward.

So what needs to be done now is to further improve on the existing basis, remove the first function, and only keep the second steering function.

After thinking like this in his heart for a while, and carefully smoothing out his thoughts, Han Cheng felt that there was no other problem. He looked at Lie and the others, and told them what he had considered and known.

Of course, when saying these things, the words used are of course carefully thought out, what should be said, and what should not be said is naturally not revealed.

After hearing what Shenzi Han said, the lame waited for the joy to realize that what he and others made was not a rudder, but a scull, and it was far from what Shenzi wanted to achieve. difference.

But even so, Lai and the others still feel very happy.

Because through this busy work, even if they didn't get the expected results, they still got a lot of things. These things will bring a lot of changes to the tribe and bring a lot of convenience.

Seeing everyone's joy, Han Cheng's mood also became more comfortable. He really appreciates the mentality of everyone in the tribe...

Here in the distant Jinguan City, there are no hibiscus blooming like a brocade group, but there are many gourd stands with white flowers.

The gourd is a good thing, whether it is made into a scoop or hollowed out to make other containers, it is very good.

Also, some gourds are still edible.

When it is not yet an elder, pick it off and wash it, whether it is cut into slices to cook vegetable soup, or cut into shreds and soaked in boiling water, pulled out with cold water, and then cooled, it is very good.

Of course, the premise is that you need to choose the right gourd.

Not all gourds are suitable for eating.

Because of the species, some gourds can be chewed when they are tender, but they are extremely bitter and not suitable for eating.

Only those gourds that are not bitter or slightly bitter can be eaten.

It is not very easy to distinguish between them.

However, this kind of thing can't stop the people of the Qingque tribe who have a strong desire to eat.

In front of a large group of foodies, this is not an issue at all. Those gourds that look no different from the non-bitter gourds are clearly arranged.

The area around Jinguan City is also busy at this time.

The rice in many fields is ripe, and everyone is busy here, harvesting the rice.

Unlike the main tribes in the north who harvest millet close to the roots, the people here in Jinguan City only work on the ears of rice when harvesting mature rice.

Everyone held the ear of rice in one hand, and with the other hand held the sickle and pulled it not far from the bottom of the ear of rice, and the ear of rice was easily cut off.

The main body of the ears of rice, whose leaves are still green, stays here safely.

In the process of harvesting and walking, everyone seemed to be more careful, trying to do as little damage to the main body of the rice as possible.

This is because these empty rice plants can grow ears of rice and bear fruit again after a period of time.

The long legs put down a large handful of rice ears in their hands, straightened their waists, and took a short rest. The surrounding working scenes also came into view.

The waving sickle, the full golden ears of rice...

Such a scene made him feel relaxed and happy.

It's just that after thinking about the fact that the Son of God is not here, he can't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

He stood here to rest for a while, then bent down again and started harvesting quickly.

The Son of God is not here, and he has entrusted himself with the big responsibility, so he needs to do things beautifully no matter what!

...

The Tieshan residential area is always full of fireworks.

The black coals were piled up there, and in some places there seemed to be some brilliance in the sun.

Someone used a shovel to shovel on the side of the huge pile of coal, continuously shoveled up the coal, put it on a small cart that had already been soaked and couldn't see the original color, and then pushed it to a mine. to the smoking stove...

Bang!

Bang!

It wasn't crisp, or it could be called a dull sound, and it couldn't stop ringing.

The huge hammer kept hitting a piece of red-hot iron.

There are sparks splashing around with the beating.

After doing this for a while, the second senior brother, who was naked to the waist and holding a sledgehammer in both hands, stopped.

The person holding the iron block with iron tongs quickly put the blackened iron block back to the burning stove, and continued to heat it with fire.

The second senior brother who was holding the hammer put down the big hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with one hand, and stood there holding the hammer handle with the other hand, watching the burning coal in the stove being pushed out by the bellows. Fiery flames.

The second senior brother is strong himself, and he and Shenzi made the first ironware in the tribe out of iron sand, so he is very interested in iron smelting and making iron products.

Han Cheng asked him to come and take charge of the Tieshan residential area, which was quite in line with his wishes.

Of course, it is not always possible to strike iron here, and he has to spare a lot of time every day to deal with other things.

As a person who started to play an important role in the tribe very early, he didn't find it difficult to deal with these things.

Unlike Jinguan City, where agriculture is the mainstay, the Tieshan residential area, which is positioned as an industrial residence, seems to be more prosperous and lively.

That's right, just looking at the many smoking stoves, as well as the fiery red molten iron and the burning fiery iron nuggets can make people feel such a prosperity.

Amid some lively sounds, a furnace for smelting iron was turned on, and fiery red molten iron flowed out of it...

The second brother stood here watching for a while, then turned his head and saw that the piece of iron on the iron stove in front of him turned red again, he stopped looking there, and started holding iron tongs beside him With the cooperation of the man, he swung the hammer again, and started a new round of beating against the iron block in front of him...

Things will not continue to happen because of the second brother's lack of attention.

It's just like there are endless things happening outside of a person's limited eyesight.

At the iron smelting furnace, the dark red molten iron has flowed cleanly.

There were molds on the side of the furnace, and the troughs inside had been filled with solidified molten iron.

Several people are busy here.

There was a person squatting on the side, holding a branch in his hand, writing and drawing there.

After doing this for a while, he went to the side to wash his hands, and then brought out a wooden box.

Carefully opened the wooden box, reached out and took out a book from inside, then opened it, and turned a few pages back.

The man looked at it seriously, and from time to time he used a branch to write some numbers on the ground beside him.

After doing this for a while, he got a new number, and wrote it neatly in the notebook with a pen.

He stared at the number for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

The time it takes to smelt a furnace of molten iron does not make any progress.

Even in this process, I have made as many changes as possible, but the effect is still extremely limited.

People always want better things.

At the beginning, my tribe got coal and began to use coal to smelt iron. At that time, I and others felt that this coal was much easier to use than charcoal.

But after a long time, I gradually felt that coal was not very useful, and wanted to make iron smelting faster and better based on the existing foundation...

Sitting here and thinking for a while, Han Youli withdrew his gaze from the notebook, put the notebook back into the box carefully and preciously again, and after putting the box away, he participated in the labor.

It's just that in the process of working, he still seemed preoccupied and kept thinking about this matter.

Be polite! Hurry up and get to work! Don't be dazed!

The people who worked with him saw that he was always distracted, so they couldn't help but remind him aloud.

According to previous experience, as long as he yelled like this, Han Youli would immediately hurry up and work hard, even after a while, he would be distracted again.

But this time it was a little different. After being reminded, Han Youli not only didn't feel a little embarrassed like before, but also showed a look of excitement on his face.

I, I thought of a way to shorten the iron smelting time!

He looked excited and said this to his companions.

After hearing what he said, the people around couldn't help being stunned, and then couldn't help but be happy.

You have thought of such a method a lot, and as a result, our iron smelting speed is not much faster than before, and it is still about the same...

Someone couldn't help but said out loud.

The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard the words.

This, this time is different...

Han Youli, who had been splashed with cold water, argued for himself in this way.

In that case, you have said a lot.

The person who spoke before said with a smile again.

The rest of the people also continued to laugh, and the atmosphere seemed joyful.

At least those who laugh feel joy.

This time it's really different...

Han Youli's dark complexion turned red.

He continued to argue for himself, but his voice was much lower than before, and he seemed to have no confidence.

It's better to work quickly, work is important, hurry up and smelt some more iron, which is better than the rest!

One of the people working with Han Youli and others said this.

The rest of the people also responded one after another.

Although Han Youli wanted to verify his thoughts now, but looking at the current scene, he couldn't say anything, so he could only hold back the urgency in his heart, work patiently, and prepared to wait until the evening or when he had some spare time. Time to take the time to test your own ideas.

Have you figured out a way?

At this moment, there was a different voice.

Han Youli turned his head and saw the second senior brother walking over.

Looking at the second senior brother, and listening to the second senior brother's question, Han Youli seemed very hesitant, but finally nodded heavily.

Then you just let go and do it. I will arrange other people to do it for you.

Unexpectedly, the second senior brother not only did not blame him, but also said such words and made such a decision.

This made Han Youli lower his head unconsciously, and then raise it up...
