Chapter 330 Change a car (please vote and subscribe)

As soon as the four-wheeled car model was taken out, it immediately aroused great interest among the big guys. You know, just this one thing, as long as it can be made, is equivalent to a revolution in the transportation industry.

Because there are no sharp iron tools, they can't process fine wooden products at all. The most suitable metal for making tools in Xin tribe is only copper. They haven't even invented bronze alloys yet, because they don't have tin mines here.

The only material they can easily obtain is bamboo, but bamboo can't be used to make wheels, so they haven't invented a car. The current transportation mode of the islanders of the entire Bamboo Island is still on the back of bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and cattle and horses. The four-wheeled ox cart in front of them at this time is undoubtedly a direct subversion of their cognition.

The same two cows, one is used to pull the cart, and the other is directly carried. Which one carries more, you can think about it with your toes.

"You said that the Han tribe's caravan has several such cars every time? Have you seen that car? How much can it carry at a time? How fast does it run?" The new leader stood up excitedly and asked several questions in a row.

No wonder he was so excited. If such a car could really be built, it would greatly improve production efficiency in the future, whether it was transporting food or quarrying and mining. It would be a magical tool.

"I haven't seen this. I also heard about it from the nomadic tribes. I don't know if the model I made was based on my guess. It's probably similar to this one, but my model is just a model. Their wheels can really turn in circles." The team leader explained helplessly.

"Oh! It would be great if we could get a car back. Elder Qi, are you sure you can make an ox cart like this? This thing called a car is definitely a magical tool. If we can make it, it will be of great help to us." Chief Xin looked at Elder Qi with an extremely urgent look.

"Chief, since this car is made of wood and metal, I think it will be difficult for us to make it. We don't have such good tools to process wood materials. The key is that we still need that kind of sharp iron tools, and there is not even a specific appearance. It is too difficult to imitate." Elder Qi said helplessly. In fact, he was right. Better tools have always been the limit to human development.

"I don't care about this. It doesn't matter if other things can't be made. We still have our own things to replace them, but you must make this car. Even if it is difficult, you must do it. The other elders must also try their best to assist. And the captain of the caravan, you have heard what the car looks like, you also stay to help Elder Qi, no matter how difficult it is, you must make the car for me."

Chief Xin said with a firm face, and that expression was like the Chinese people vowing to make their own atomic bombs, which scared several elders so much that they dared not breathe. It's easy to say, but if you don't have diamond drills, you still want to manage porcelain work. Isn't this difficult for people?

However, the elders did not dare to object. The chief had the power to directly dismiss the elders. If the chief was really dissatisfied, they would be in big trouble. But at this time, the captain of the caravan raised his hand weakly, indicating that he had something to say.

"What do you want to say? Come on."

"Chief, I'm just a captain. I don't know how to build a car. Also, if I stay, we won't be able to continue trading next month. I think it's not easy for us to build a car behind closed doors. We might as well find a way to find the caravan of the Han tribe next time we trade, and buy one from them. It would be good to bring it back as a sample."

When Chief Xin heard this, he felt that what he said made sense. Building a car behind closed doors like this, a group of people didn't even know what the car looked like, which was really difficult for them, so he asked the captain.

"Your idea does make sense, but it shouldn't be that easy. You said you want to exchange a car with the Han tribe, so what should we exchange?

Their goods are no worse than ours, and some of them we don't even have. They go to the grassland to trade, just because they like the cattle and horses there. What do we have that they would like? Why do they want to exchange a car with you? Don't forget that they don't even give it to the nomadic tribes, what can you exchange with them?" Chief Xin asked.

"This, this..." The captain was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know what the Han tribe could like.

"Well, chief, we can exchange grain seeds for cars. There must be a lot of people in their tribe, and they must need a lot of food to feed the population.

Of course, since they have things like sacks to hold grain, they must have their own grain, but their grain may not be the same as ours. Our corn only takes three months to mature, and if it is planted alternately with soybeans, it can produce at least two crops a year. They must be in great need of it. I think they will agree to exchange seeds for cars, and maybe we can directly exchange methods of making cars with them. What do you think, chief?"

The team leader was unable to answer, and the merchant elder in charge of foreign trade quickly stood up and suggested. Making cars had nothing to do with him, but if his department could get a car as a sample for the tribe, it would definitely be a great achievement, and it would definitely be good for him, so he was also very concerned about this matter.

"Well, what Elder Shang said makes sense. Let's do this. Let your team leader stay to help Elder Qi build a car. Go to the grassland to trade at the beginning of next month. Elder Shang will lead the team personally. Bring more seeds. Be sure to find the caravan of the Han tribe and exchange a car with them. No, not only exchange a car, but also try to exchange some other things if they can." Chief Xin thought for a while and ordered immediately.

"Ah?!" The team leader and Elder Shang were shocked. One of them didn't want to stay to build a car, and the other just wanted to come up with an idea, but he didn't expect to get himself involved in the end.

"What? Do you have any questions?" Chief Xin's sharp eyes swept over the two people, his eyes flashing with coldness, as if if the two dared to say no, they would be pulled out to feed the pigs immediately.

"No, no problem, we will prepare now." The two saw the terrible look in the leader's eyes and immediately gave up. They couldn't afford to offend him. They didn't want to become pig feed because of such a trivial matter.

"Okay, elders, you must also work hard to contribute to the tribe. Now that we have such a good opportunity, we must learn a lot from the Han tribe and strive to make our people live better and the tribe stronger. Okay, you all go down." After arranging the tasks, Chief Xin waved his hand and started to drive people away.

"Yes, everything is for the tribe!!!" The elders also stood up and left.
