"frame?"
Hearing this, Xia Yue and the others temporarily put aside the incomprehensible "generation theory" and looked at Wang Shanhai with a hint of inquiry.
"Yes, framework." Wang Shanhai nodded.
"In real life, almost everything that can stand up has its own frame, and tents are definitely no exception."
“It’s like when you paint, you always have to come up with a layout first, then draw some main points, and then fill in the blanks.”
"The same is true for detachable tents. We need to build its frame first, and then fill it with canvas. In this way, the difficulty should be much smaller."
As soon as Wang Shanhai said this, the eyes of Xia Yue and others instantly lit up.
After hearing Wang Shanhai's explanation, they instantly felt that this method of building the frame first was indeed much better than their previous method of pressing the canvas together.
There is a very high chance of success.
Therefore, the look in his eyes when he looked at Wang Shanhai at this moment also had a slightly more "reliable" feeling.
"But what should we use as the framework..." Soon, a girl raised the question.
"Old Ren bought so many iron wires, and they were all thick iron wires with a diameter of about two millimeters. They must not be bought in vain. Isn't it just right to use them to build the frame now?" Wang Shanhai laughed.
"But we tried before to use those iron wires to prop up the canvas from the inside, but it just won't hold up at all and it'll fall down soon." The girl hesitated.
"That's because you didn't add any other auxiliary equipment. It's easy for the iron wires to fall to the ground. At this time, you still need a chassis."
Wang Shanhai smiled, and without waiting for the girl to ask again, he took out some wires, chose a suitable place and drove the first wire into the ground.
"Come on, come on, a few boys come and help me. I'll build one and show you guys."
As soon as Wang Shanhai finished speaking, several boys gathered around him: "Brother Wang, what should we do?"
"Follow my example and first find four pieces of wire and drive them into the ground in a square or rectangle."
"Then have the wires meet at the center point at the top."
As he spoke, Wang Shanhai found some stones and hammered his piece of wire deeper. At the same time, he used stones to surround the wire in the center to ensure that the wire would not collapse due to the subsequent force.
Seeing this, other boys followed suit.
Soon four wires were driven into the ground and were bent upwards and joined together by several students.
"Hold on a little longer, don't move!"
Wang Shanhai spoke, and then used a small short iron wire to tie the intersection of the four iron wires, and a triangular cone-shaped frame was completed.
"Okay, now that we have the framework, the next thing we need to do is to reinforce these frames."
Wang Shanhai recalled in his mind how his assistant set up the detachable tent.
I found some tough branches nearby, bent them into the same arc as the wire, and tied the branches to the wire frame with nylon ropes.
He remembered that when his assistants were setting up the tent, they used some auxiliary frame tubes to enhance stability. Now he felt that using some tough branches would have a similar effect.
After he tied all the branches he had found, the originally thin frame did become a lot thicker.
"Brother Wang? Is the framework ready?"
A boy looked at the frame in front of him and felt itchy: "Can we put skin on it now?"
"Not yet." Wang Shanhai shook his head: "Now we are still missing a chassis."
"Go get four more wires and connect these four new wires to the base of the frame."
"Only in this way can the frame of the tent have a complete shape and will not collapse easily."
As he spoke, Wang Shanhai lifted up the top frame that was stuck in the ground and placed the footings that were stuck in the soil in front of the people.
Several boys looked at the ground anchors and nodded in realization. They quickly fetched some wires and then tied them together with great difficulty to the four ground anchors.
At this point, Wang Shanhai and his colleagues had completely figured out a real triangular cone frame.
Xia Yue and the others looked at the 'hollow' tent with shining eyes. With this thing, as long as they could spread the canvas on it properly, a tent would be complete.
They finally found the right method.
However, Wang Shanhai felt a little emotional in his heart.
No wonder Ren Yan chose the stone platform as the gathering place for his class. It turned out that he had conceived this type of tent from the very beginning, one that did not rely on footrests at all.
Otherwise, Class 9 would have no choice but to camp on the land.
"Okay, now let's skin it!"
Wang Shanhai felt a slight emotion in his heart, then looked at Xia Yue and the others.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue and the others immediately surrounded them with canvas in hand.
But soon, they discovered new problems.
Although the frame is there, in theory all you need to do is lay the canvas on it.
But the difficulty is actually not fundamentally different from their initial plan to sew the canvas into a cube.
There is still a lack of necessary needles.
It still cannot be tied to the wire well.
So, they could only look at Wang Shanhai again, hoping that he could continue to give them some necessary guidance.
However, Wang Shanhai was also somewhat dumbfounded...
