Chapter 480 Their Gifts
Xia Tian waved enthusiastically at Bai Qin, inviting him, "Come and take a look. This is a design I made with Ah Ye's help. It's perfect for transportation and is very useful. Want to try it?"
Bai Qin stood where he was, feeling it was difficult to move his feet.
This weird-looking thing... let's not even talk about whether it can actually be used as a means of transportation, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing to just sit on it?
At that time, it was a chair made entirely of solid wood with a backrest. Cushions and blankets were carefully laid on it, and there were also footrests specifically for resting the feet, ensuring the user's comfort experience to the greatest extent.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with those parts, but what's incomprehensible is... there are two circles next to the chair that are taller than the chair itself?!
"What is this?" Bai Qin looked at the two "circles" and asked in confusion.
Just now, when Xia Tian pushed this strange chair out, the two circles rolled on the ground and moved forward steadily with the chair.
He intuitively felt that the two circles were the reason why the chair could be pushed easily, but he was not sure what the principle was and whether it would work.
"This thing is called a 'wheel'. It's the most important component used to help this 'wheelchair' move forward." Si Ye repeated in full what Xia Tian said when she taught him how to make this thing.
"People can sit on it and roll the wheel manually, or have someone push it from behind, and they can go anywhere they want without using their legs. The two wheels are connected by a wooden stick, which is polished smooth to reduce the possibility of bumps during use."
Xia Tian remained silent, surprised that Si Ye actually repeated everything he had said before.
Originally, she didn't have high hopes for the design of this wheelchair, but she just thought that if it could be made, it would be a nice convenience.
But she didn't expect that Si Ye would be able to surprise her at this time. The final product was so exquisite and stunning that it was completely unlike the work of a Stone Age orc.
But no matter how unbelievable it is, this magical wheelchair was made.
So, according to the initial discussion, they decided to give the wheelchair to Bai Qin.
"You're giving this...to me?" Bai Qin was surprised and a little embarrassed at the same time.
The words he said that day made the other person feel uncomfortable, but not only did the other person let bygones be bygones, but they also designed and made such a beautiful gift for him.
"It's nothing. In fact, I should say thank you. I just thought of it after seeing this. Many people in the tribe have injuries on their legs and feet, and they are also aging as they get older. But if we have this tool, I believe everyone's life will be much more convenient." Xia Tian said.
After all, she wanted to do this in the beginning because she saw that he had difficulty walking, so she thought of this invention on Earth, so she might as well move it here and use it to see if she could make it.
Moreover, the fact that this wheelchair can be produced does not only mean that it can bring convenience to those with mobility impairments, but more importantly... it means that the use of wheels can be officially put on the production line!
The significance of the use of wheels is undoubtedly epoch-making. As long as there are wheels, the efficiency of transportation can be greatly improved, from wheelbarrows, to steam locomotives, to diesel trucks...
industrialization!
