Chapter 380: Deer Pulling Sled



The method Shang mentioned of clearing the snow is a good idea, but it is still too difficult to transport.

Too many people were used to transport the stones.

At that rate, by the time the bathroom is built, it will be almost the New Year.

Seeing that this proposal was rejected by the Son of God, Shang and others were at a loss. Clearing the snow and then transporting the stones was the best solution they could think of.

If this method is not accepted, what else can be used?

You can't let the stones grow legs and walk from the quarry to their tribe, right?

However, to their surprise, the Son of God really gave a different solution.

The focus of this method still lies on the group of deer in the tribe.

Thick snow should not be the main reason for traffic obstruction.

It doesn't make sense that the old man in red clothes and with a white beard can use two deer to pull a sled to deliver gifts to people, but his own tribe can't use deer-pulled sleds to transport stones.

The second most powerful charlatan in the tribe came, the eldest brother who was the leader came, the second brother who had successfully lost weight came, the first carpenter of the Qingque tribe came... Several houses were already packed with people, and there were many people outside the houses who were tiptoeing and looking inside.

This was the result of the news that the Son of God was preparing to create a device that could slide on the snow and transport a lot of stones at once without much effort spreading through the tribe.

Everyone wanted to see how the Son of God created such an unimaginable thing.

Following the Son of God to see strange things has become a trend among the people of the Qingque tribe.

Han Cheng looked at Lame, who was holding the axe in his hand with a serious expression on his face but also a hint of excitement, and he knew that apart from him, no one else would spread the news.

Han Cheng shook his head and laughed imperceptibly. This guy is becoming more and more arrogant.

After waiting for a while, Han Cheng saw that there were too many people in the room, and the originally not-so-large space was occupied, so he couldn't properly carry out the work of making the sled.

So he told people to leave the house and make room for Bo to build the sled. As for what the sled looked like, they could see it later, and not only that, they could also use it.

After Han Cheng spoke, everyone in the room, except Wu Xiaowei and a few others, left obediently.

But he didn't go far, but stayed outside the room, sticking his head out to look into the house.

After discovering this scene, Han Cheng shook his head and smiled helplessly. These guys, it’s so cold outside that standing for a while can freeze people through. Now they are standing outside, what if they catch a cold?

In order to prevent these curious people in the tribe from getting sick from the cold, Han Cheng walked out of the room and thoughtfully asked them to go to the quarry to mine stones...

It's freezing cold, how can you stay outside without doing something?

Of course, another reason is that once the sled is manufactured, the speed of transporting stones can be greatly increased.

If we don't take advantage of the opportunity now before the sled is built to mine more stones and keep them there for use as a backup, I'm afraid that the mined stones will be out of supply in a short time.

The structure of a sled is not that complicated. Except that it does not have wheels at the bottom but is replaced by two long shiny wooden strips with raised ends, the rest of the structure is very similar to the ox carts that Han Cheng has come into contact with many times.

At this point, the usefulness of iron tools became increasingly apparent.

If there were no axes, chisels, saws, planes and other tools, it would be difficult to build a sled, which requires quite high technical skills, relying on the existing tools.

However, the sled of the Qingque tribe was much simpler than the common sleds in later generations. The two most important and wide wooden sticks at the bottom were not missing, and all other parts that could be removed were removed.

Firstly, it was because of the limited technical level. It was the first time for the carpenter to make such a tool. Another reason was that Han Cheng wanted to build the sled as soon as possible to transport the stones and build the bathhouse as soon as possible.

Therefore, the requirements were lowered, resulting in the sleds built being much simpler and rougher.

There are two long frames used as "wheels", with a wooden scale about 5 cm wide and 4 cm thick connecting them every 20 cm in the middle, like a wooden ladder.

The connection is a neat mortise made with an iron chisel. After the wooden scale passes through the mortise on the wooden frame, a small hole is drilled out of the exposed part with a hand drill. The small hole is close to the outer edge of the wooden frame and is firmly wedged with a wooden nail with a diameter of about half a centimeter. As long as the wooden nail is broken, the sled will not fall apart.

This is the main structure of the sled made by the Qingque tribe.

In addition, 30-centimeter "wooden bars" were installed on the wooden frames on both sides.

This is a railing-like thing that prevents the objects mounted on the sled from falling to the left or right.

When people ride on a sled, they can also sit on this "wooden side", which is more comfortable.

To put it simply, it is to thicken and widen the wooden ladder, make the two ends slightly tilted upwards, and then put wooden railings on the sides. This is probably the sled made by the Qingque tribe.

Generally speaking, a layer of wooden boards is placed on top of the sled, similar in style to the old-fashioned bed boards.

With this layer of wood, nothing will leak from the sled, and when the snow is deep, the snow cannot be turned over.

However, there are no such wooden boards on the sleds of the Qingque tribe.

In order to save iron materials, the iron saw was made a little shorter. It was okay to use it to saw some wood that was not too thick, but it was a bit difficult to cut the wood into boards.

In order to save time and put the sled into use as soon as possible, Han Cheng skipped this step.

A sled, two meters and two meters long and one meter and two meters wide, was carried vertically out of the room and placed on the unclogged snow in the yard.

The sled seemed a bit heavy and it pushed down a lot of snow in an instant.

Lame bent down and pulled one end of the sled with his hand, trying to move forward. He was able to pull it forward, but it was not as easy as the Son of God said.

Lame scratched his hair, worried that he had not made the sled well.

It is already difficult to pull an empty sled, and it will be even more difficult to move if heavy stones are placed on it.

The adult deer in the tribe are much stronger than humans, but not to an outrageous degree.

Pulling a sled in the snow, and then pulling stones...

Thinking of that scene, Lame couldn't help but sniffle, imitating the Son of God.

Before the experiment, Bo was full of confidence in the sled that the Son of God had mentioned, but now after the experiment, he felt guilty...
