Reborn Craftsman

And the first step went so smoothly, which is a good sign for Liu Xing. After he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, he said to Gao Dazhuang standing on the right side: "Tell people to go on the pine board, remember Don't get the order of male and female sewing wrong!"

The thickness of the pine planks is about five centimeters, the width is twenty centimeters, and the length is three meters, all made by Liu Xing through carefully selected pine wood.

Originally, he wanted to increase the thickness of the pine planks to ten centimeters, but after thinking about the bearing capacity of the rock-penetrating rope, he finally changed it to five centimeters thick.

After all, a five-centimeter-thick pine board, according to the weight of an average person, would have no problem stepping on it.

Unless it exceeds the load of the rope, it is almost the same.

The male and female joints are a small process of connecting pine boards. Don't underestimate this small process. It can connect pine boards about [-] centimeters wide, and there is no gap.

Of course, the most important point.

It is to prevent people from collapsing when they step on the pine board.

And with the small process of male and female seaming, even if the pine board bears a lot of weight, it will not collapse, but will only soften.

The first piece of pine board with some marks was carried by Gao Dazhuang, and it was quickly transported to Liu Xing's side.Don't underestimate this three-meter-long and five-centimeter-thick pine board, but its weight has reached about one hundred catties.

It takes a lot of effort for ordinary people to carry it.

But Gao Dazhuang carried it to Liu Xing's side as if he was carrying it for fun, and he helped lay the groundwork on the rope connecting the two cliffs.

This time Liu Xing did not fix the pine boards alone, but asked Wang Jiabao, Wang Afu and other craftsmen to help fix them, and he himself tied the rope on the rock bamboo crossbow to the ground stakes.

The ground stakes were made yesterday, to fix the ropes on the rock bamboo crossbow, and in order to draw the ropes closer, Liu Xing also designed a small pulley next to each ground stake, as long as the pulley is shaken, it will be easy to move. Straighten the rope connecting the two cliffs.

However, this rope must reserve some swinging radians, if it is too straight, it will be dangerous.

This is the experience that Village Chief Wang told him, so naturally he has to accept it humbly.

Ahu, Gao Dazhuang, Wang Jiabao, Wang Afu and more than a dozen craftsmen who were waiting at the side saw that the ropes were fixed on the ground stakes. They did not quickly lay the wooden boards at the first time, but helped to put the rock bamboo crossbow It was pushed away, because the mission of piercing the rock bamboo crossbow has been completed, and it will become a roadblock if it stays on the edge of the cliff.

When Mr. Liu saw this scene, he immediately called several men in black to guard the rock bamboo crossbows. After all, the rock bamboo crossbows were too powerful to be stolen by people with bad intentions.

The next process is naturally to lay a large area of ​​wooden planks on the rope.

Don't underestimate this process, many craftsmen are discouraged.

After all, laying wooden boards between two cliffs is a bit too dangerous.

Liu Xing thought of this a long time ago, and then tied a rope to his body, and after asking two strong craftsmen to pull the other end, he took the lead in laying up the pine boards himself.

In fact, there is no danger at all for the bedding that is connected by male and female seams. After all, people's feet are stepping on the pine boards that are bedding, not on ropes.

Of course, there are also courageous craftsmen, such as Wang Jiabao and his two apprentices, who were not afraid of danger at all, and followed Liu Xing to help fix the pine boards.

There are small holes reserved at both ends and in the middle of the pine board, as long as the iron wire is passed through and tied with the rope below, it will be ok.

Wang Afu was a little scared at first, but he didn't have any fear when he saw Liu Xing paving the pine boards handed over piece by piece, so he followed behind with a tool bag in embarrassment to help.

After Ahu ordered other craftsmen to send all the pine boards, he also reinforced the team for laying the boards.

The more people there are, the more powerful they will be.

The speed of laying pine boards is also faster.

Just half an hour.

Liu Xing paved 280 pieces of pine boards from one end of the cliff to the other.

With the help of Wang Jiabao and other craftsmen, the work of fixing the pine boards was quickly completed.

Some craftsmen who were watching the theater saw that the two cliffs were simply connected by ropes and planks, and hurried up to watch the excitement.

But in the next second, they quickly backed away with pale faces, because people would sway from side to side when stepping on the pine boards. If they didn't stand firmly at this step, they were in danger of falling at any time.

Seeing this cowardly scene, Liu Xing couldn't help but shook his head in a funny way.

But he didn't say anything, instead, he came over from the other end, launched a rock-piercing crossbow, and fired a rock-piercing crossbow arrow on the left side of the pine board that was bedding.

Whoosh!

The rock-piercing crossbow bolt accurately hit the opposite cliff with the rope.

Liu Xing saw that the distance between the height and the pine board was about 1.6 meters, so he immediately took off the rope from the rock bamboo crossbow, straightened it and fixed it on the pre-buried ground pile.

This rope comes out.

Immediately, many craftsmen understood the purpose.

This is to play a protective role. As long as a protective net is laid between the rope and the pine boards, then this simple bridge made of pine boards can allow people to come and go freely when walking on it, without worrying about falling down at any time.

This move surprised many people.

Even Liu Lao was surprised by the design of Liu Xing's protective net.

Because he never thought that the first step of Liu Xing's construction of the bamboo bridge would be designed in this way, let alone that this first step was so simple for Liu Xing, as simple as drinking water and eating, it was too easy to grasp.

As for the design and installation of the protective net, Liu Xing, Wang Afu and Wang Jiabao have mentioned it, so as soon as the ropes on the left and right sides of the pine board were fixed, they took their apprentices into action, using the materials they had prepared long ago , Set up the frame and start installing the protective net.

Other craftsmen who were idle couldn't sit still this time, and hurried forward to help pass materials or install protective nets.

After all, they are not fools. Who can tell that with the success of the pine planks between the two cliffs, the construction of the bamboo bridge in the future will definitely go smoothly.

because

The precipitous cliff in front of me, which is regarded as a natural danger by the people of Xiangxi, has been conquered by Liu Xing's superb bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship. The word "natural danger" is a past tense in Xiangxi from today.

This is simply unbelievable for all Xiangxi people.

Looking at the dozens of craftsmen who were busy installing the protective net between the two cliffs, they were stunned for a moment, and then cheered one by one.

Chapter 382 Don't Break the Rules!

"Great, Liu Xing really connected the two cliffs. It's really a miracle. I didn't believe he could do it before!"

"With this successful first step, it will be much easier to build a bamboo bridge in the middle of the cliff. Liu Xing is really amazing!"

"That's right! Liu Xing is our lucky star in Xiangxi, he's so awesome!"

"In less than a year, we Xiangxi people can finally go out of the mountains to see the outside world. It's really unexpected!"

"Liu Xing is mighty!!!"

"Long live Xiangxi!!"

The cheers resounded between the two cliffs where the bamboo bridge was built, and the echoes spread louder and louder. This seemed to be the last catharsis of the people in western Hunan for this natural danger, and it also announced the end of a backward era in western Hunan.
