Han Cheng was of course unhappy. His purpose was to find a way to make a fire quickly. Using these two stones to make a fire was slower than drilling wood to make fire. So even if he proved that fire could be made with stones, what was the point?
The next day, Han Cheng stopped looking for stones and tried to make a tinderbox.
If there is no bamboo tube, a bone stick will be used instead. If there is no yellow paper, tinder will be used instead. After tinkering with this for a while, he finally made a fire starter with a completely different appearance.
Han Cheng brought it to the burning fire and lit one end, then blew out the flame, letting it burn as a dark fire. As a result, the dark fire went out not long after.
Han Cheng used a thinner stick to poke out the tinder inside the bone stick. After thinking about it, he felt that he might have stuffed the tinder too tightly, so the tinder went out after burning for a short time.
When filling again, it will not be as dense as the top.
After stuffing one end of the bone stick tightly, move it closer to the fire again and light it.
Sure enough, the tinder did not go out this time, but it burned very quickly. Han Cheng estimated that in less than half an hour, the 15-centimeter-long tinder had burned out completely...
Han Cheng then adjusted the tightness of the tinder. Later, when he found that the tinder used to start a fire was not enough to meet the demand, he began to try other materials.
It is said that Edison experimented with more than a thousand kinds of materials before he finally succeeded in inventing the electric light. Now Han Cheng has tried dozens of materials to make a tinderbox, but still failed.
So far, the longest time that the tinderbox he made could keep the fire from going out was less than one morning...
However, this kind of fire starter can be used now. In the past, if Shang or Heiwa and others wanted to start a fire in a quarry or an earthen kiln, the only way they could do was to use a pottery jar to collect some charcoal from the big fire in the cave or take one or two burning firewood and walk away quickly, for fear that the flames would go out if they delayed too long.
Sometimes when you are unlucky, you need to run two or three times to light the firewood there.
Now that they have a fire starter that can burn for a long time, they are much calmer when lighting a fire outside.
While the people of the Qingque tribe were deeply impressed by the wisdom of the Son of God, Han Shen Zi frowned slightly and looked unsatisfied.
This kind of fire starter was far from what he had imagined. He needed one that could at least burn all night without going out. Only in this way could he safely and boldly put out the fires in the cave that kept burning day and night...
A small fire starter really stumped Han Cheng this time. He stayed in the cave, lost in thought about how to solve the problem...
Fu Jiang, who had stayed in the cave for too long, bit the small leather skirt around Han Cheng's waist with his teeth, and pulled hard with his butt sticking out.
It wanted to drag its stupid master out to play outside.
However, he accidentally used too much force and pulled off the short skirt around Han Cheng's waist.
When Han Cheng was exposed, Fu Jiang, who was holding the leather skirt in his mouth, also took several steps back.
“Ouch!”
This is certainly not the barking of Fu Jiang, this guy who is becoming more and more like a Husky, otherwise wouldn’t it have become a spirit?
Lame limped in from outside and came to the place near the inner cave to get the hand drill, ready to drill a hole. Seeing the Son of God sitting there concentrating on thinking, he did not dare to disturb him. He took the hand drill and walked out carefully.
As a result, after taking only two steps, Fu Jiang caused this noise.
The lame leg was not in good condition to begin with, and was tripped by the lucky general who suddenly came in front of his feet. He lost control and fell to the ground.
Fu Jiang dodged quickly and was not hit by Bo, but Bo fell hard.
The sound of "ouch" came from Lame's mouth.
Lame fell to the ground, and instead of caring about his injuries, he hurriedly picked up the hand drill that he had fallen on.
The floor of the cave was stone, and the somewhat thin stone drill bit just hit the stone and broke in the middle.
This made Bo feel extremely regretful.
Because this hand drill is the most convenient one to use.
He was a little annoyed for a moment and wanted to hit Fu Jiang, but when he turned around and saw the funny look of this guy holding Shen Zi's leather skirt in his mouth, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Han Cheng naturally had no time to think at this time. He hurried over to help Bo up. Bo had already stood up by himself, holding the hand drill with a broken drill bit in his hand, looking very sorry.
Seeing that Lame was fine, Han Cheng turned around and glared at Fu Jiang, the stupid dog.
Fu Jiang also felt that he had caused trouble, so his tail drooped down, and he timidly took the leather skirt in his mouth to Han Cheng's hand and rubbed it against Han Cheng's hand.
Han Cheng slapped it on the head twice, took the leather skirt and tied it around its waist. The guy rolled his eyes and looked at Han Cheng secretly, then took the opportunity to turn around, spread out his four legs, and ran out of the cave, as if he was afraid that he would get kicked in the butt if he ran too slowly.
Han Cheng was amused, and after a scolding, he looked at the broken stone drill bit in his lame hand and felt it was a pity. After all, it was not easy to polish a drill bit.
Just as he was about to tell Lame to use his other hand to drill the hole first and fix this one later, a light suddenly flashed through his mind.
She quickly put on her leather skirt and said, "Give me this, you can use the other ones."
Before he could finish his words, the broken hand drill in Lame's hand had already been transferred to Han Cheng's hand.
The Son of God has come up with another good idea?
Lame watched the Son of God leave excitedly, thinking this in his heart, and then he took another drill bit for the hand-operated drill of similar size. Without even bothering to brush off the dust on his body, he hurried to chase the Son of God, wanting to see what different miracles the Son of God could perform with the pressure drill he was already familiar with.
Han Cheng found two pieces of wood that were used to make fire when the big fire of the Qingque tribe occasionally went out. He looked at them and found that they were too big, so he went outside the tribe to look for new branches.
When drilling wood to make fire, you cannot use hard wood, because it is not easy for the soft wood to heat up and produce sparks and fall off.
Fast-growing trees such as poplar and tung are good for drilling wood to make fire.
Han Cheng found a soft branch with a diameter of about two centimeters and a length of two meters and took it back to the yard.
Cut it into two sections in the middle, mark a point near the top of the thicker section, and ask Lame, who is standing by and watching, to drill a hole with the hand drill in his hand.
The hole doesn't need to be too deep, just drill halfway through the wood.
While Lame was drilling the hole, Han Cheng was also quickly processing another piece of wooden stick.
Polish one end slightly to make it smoother, and then use a stone knife to carve a wooden groove on the other end to hold the rope. Then wrap two circles of rope around the wooden pole made according to the specifications of the drill rod and install it on the hand drill.
At this time, Lame had also dug the pit.
Han Cheng took it and looked at it, then used the thin stone piece in his hand, which could be called a stone knife, to carve two grooves on the left and right sides of the wooden pit. In this way, a tool for making fire by drilling wood, which was much lighter than the tribe's original one, was made.
Han Cheng found a ball of tinder to start a fire. The tinder was made from a kind of leaves.
If you rub the dried leaves in your hands, a lot of tiny threads will come out, which are very good for starting a fire.
However, this tree is not the Eucommia tree seen in later generations. Han Cheng had played with the leaves of Eucommia tree many times when he was a child, and he could recognize the big difference between the two.
So this tree that Han Cheng had never seen before got a gorgeous name - the fire velvet tree.
