Chapter 481481 The Cold Season Arrives (1)
The invention of the wheel has greatly promoted the development of human history. It is a great invention that transcends the times. Many related inventions since then are inseparable from the use of this tool.
There will be many opportunities to use it in the future. The first finished product currently in use is this wooden wheelchair.
[Hahahaha, this thing is completely outrageous. How can such a wheelchair be made in this world? It's incredible!]
[These past few days I've been wondering if Xia Xia was planning something big, and she didn't disappoint us!]
[But doesn't this forcibly distort the course of historical development? Isn't that a bit problematic?]
"Anyway, try sitting on it first." Xia Tian lifted the blanket from the wheelchair. "There's a special blanket here, so even if the wind blows, you won't feel cold. You can cover yourself with it normally."
Bai Qin hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, held the handles on both sides of the wheelchair, and carefully moved his legs to sit on it.
The seat itself is made of wooden boards stitched together, but it is specially covered with straw futon cushions, which are soft and breathable in this weather.
He has an old injury on his leg, so he can't be exposed to the wind normally. Covering himself with a blanket when sitting can also prevent his legs from getting cold.
"To move this chair, someone can push it from behind, or you can push it yourself with your arms." Xia Tian stood behind the wheelchair, holding the handles specially made at the back with both hands, and gently pushed it forward, and the wheelchair moved forward very steadily on the ground.
I wonder how much effort Si Ye put into his spare time during this busy season to finally create such a near-perfect circular roller.
In addition, the axle, which is also polished very smoothly and flat, is fixed in the middle, so that the weight of the person sitting on the chair is evenly distributed on the two wheels on both sides.
Walking on this uneven dirt ground, I didn't feel particularly bumpy at all.
"There is actually such an invention... It's amazing." Bai Qin tried to push the wheelchair around by himself and found that this seemingly strange thing was actually more convenient to use than he had imagined.
He asked Xia Tian curiously, "How did you come up with this idea? I can't believe it... It's amazing, and it really works. Was this invented by your previous tribe?"
"Well, you can understand it this way... It wasn't invented by me. I just borrowed inspiration from other people in the tribe, and with the help of Aye's exquisite craftsmanship, I was able to make such a finished product in the end." Xia Tian said modestly.
This wheelchair was not invented by her, but it should be the first one in the world.
Moreover, this is a pure solid wood wheelchair made entirely by hand. Such excellent craftsmanship is unlikely to be found even on Earth.
She didn't continue the topic and reminded him politely, "If we don't leave now, it will be dark soon. You'd better pack your things and leave quickly."
"It's getting late. The temperature will drop if we go any later. We should hurry up while it's still sunny." Si Ye also added.
"Okay, I won't delay your work." Bai Qin heard the words of the two people trying to get rid of them and smiled awkwardly. "Then I'll accept this gift. I'll go back to Dongfang City first. You're welcome to come back anytime."
