After dinner, Xu Chen continued working at dawn, slowly weaving a strange-looking little rattan chair out of sticks and green vines. Gu Heju also used a stone ax to slowly cut out four wooden wheels according to his request.
When it was dark and he went to bed, Xu Chen's small wicker chair was finally completed.
The four wheels of Gu Heju are almost finished.
No one knew what innovative invention Xu Chen was working on, but given his magical attributes and special circumstances, no one bothered him.
A night of silence.
The next day, Xu Chen slept until he woke up naturally. After eating the breakfast left for himself, he took a water glass to visit two new wild birds that had joined the big family, and asked a group of children to go out to get some grass and insects to feed.
, then he picked up a small wicker chair and a wooden wheel and started to get busy.
The structure of the stroller is actually very simple, with three or four casters installed under the small chair.
But thinking about simple things, in this era when there are almost no metal cutting and drilling tools, many things can only be described as difficult.
Just drilling holes in the center of the four wooden wheels is extremely difficult and complicated.
However, he naturally left this kind of energy-consuming task to Gu Heju and the other two to help them, slowly grinding it with bone sticks or stone knives. Fortunately, the wheel was only about an inch thick and was not made of particularly hard wood.
After wasting a long time, I finally drilled a two centimeter-thick round hole into the four wheels according to Xu Chen's requirements.
Of course, it's not an absolute circle, but to a group of savages who don't pay attention to anything, this round hole is a pretty magical circle.
After all, this is the first time for everyone to see drilling holes in wood.
"Bronze, bronze, when will I be able to make bronze!"
Xu Chen looked at the four wheels with holes that looked like they were chewed out by dogs, and couldn't help but look up to the sky with tears on his face and sigh.
In this age of dogs, primitive people did not live long because of poor food and sanitary environment.
But he felt that he would not live long either.
Because sooner or later you will die of anger.
Even with the simplest hand drill, it only takes three to five minutes to drill the hole, but now it took the two of them a full half day to do it, and the hole they made was simply unbearable to see.
But no matter how ugly it is, the most difficult thing is finally done.
The next installation is relatively simple.
There are also no good tools to process the parts, so there are no latches or anything like that, they are all tied up with ropes.
The four legs of the stroller are made of two wooden sticks side by side and one inch apart. You only need to pass the wheels through a hardwood stick as thick as your thumb, and then tie it tightly between the two wooden sticks with hemp rope.
This kind of stroller is destined to not be able to bear a large total load.
But babies generally only weigh about ten or twenty pounds, so there shouldn’t be a big problem with this structure. At most, if it becomes loose, it can be helped again. As long as the wheels are not broken, they can be used continuously.
Another hour passed while I was busy.
Xu Chen's stroller is finally completed.
Considering that this is another rattan object that has never been seen before, not only Gu Heju has been squatting next to it and looking at it without blinking his eyes, but the two tool men sitting nearby are busy and they also come up from time to time to take a look and discuss.
A few sentences.
A group of children came in and out to look at it for a while and ran out to play with it for a while. When the stroller was completed and they found that it could be pushed, they gathered around it as if they had discovered a new world, and wanted to push it and play with it.
"Bad gah, beat gah!"
Gu Heju probably gradually realized the magic of this thing, so he was so nervous that he pushed several children aside and refused to let him touch it.
Ye still worked hard to take care of the children, either carrying the well on her back or holding her in the house. Occasionally, when the two little ones got tired from playing and went to bed, she had to take care of the rope that allowed them to crawl around.
All in all, I can hardly have a moment of leisure.
However, although she is busy and tired, as long as she sees Xu Chen working hard, she will be happy unconsciously, and she will also have an uncontrollable excitement, joy and excitement.
Yesterday, Muba told her a secret that none of her tribe members knew.
Xu Chen also gave her one of the most beautiful feathers in the world.
In fact, Muba has already said that these three feathers belong to her and she can save them for later use.
Because if she and Chen really form a new family, then she will be the only adult woman and the head of the family. Even if she has no children, she can still wear feathers all year round.
This made her very happy.
She couldn't sleep last night, imagining that she would wear three beautiful long feathers, mate with Chen, and then give birth to twins...
Xu Chen naturally didn't know about the private relationship between Ye and Mu Ba.
Of course, he didn't know that his little female savage cousin had been thinking about mating with him and giving birth to twins every day and night after he became an adult.
His thoughts are extremely simple.
I just want to be a savage king before I die.
Of course, it is best to get the bronze as soon as possible. This is a necessary condition for becoming a king.
He needs to be a king of rank, at least to the bronze level.
"Ye Ga~Sheng Ga, come here!"
After the stroller was ready, Xu Chen checked it carefully. After a few simple pushes and pulls, it seemed that there was no problem, and then he decided to start the first manned test.
Ye quickly picked up the rope that had been climbing into the chicken coop.
"Give me!"
Xu Chen reached out to take the rope and put it into the stroller.
As a result, the little guy was afraid of this strange thing and kept crossing his legs and refused to go in. Finally, at Xu Chen's reminder, Gu and Ju grabbed the little guy's legs that were constantly kicking and forced them in.
"Wow……"
The little guy naturally yearns to crawl freely, and he grinned and cried as soon as he was put in.
"Mo Hao, uncle will take you for a ride, go ga, ye hao..."
Xu Chen pushed the stroller and walked away. The four wheels rolled together, and the stroller bumped forward slightly on the uneven muddy ground.
The crying rope immediately became quiet, and soon started dancing with joy.
"Wow~~"
A group of adults and children were all stunned for a moment.
They had always thought that this thing was complicated and not simple, but they didn't expect it to be used in this way. Therefore, after a brief moment of silence, they swarmed around and asked for the cart, even the two adult tool men.
exception.
The magic of the stroller is completely beyond the scope of their intelligence, and it is a magical structure that they have never imagined.
The commotion in the yard naturally attracted several other women who stayed at home. Among them were Aunt Seventeen, who stayed at home and was responsible for breastfeeding the child, two pregnant women with large bellies, and a very old young woman.
Long woman.
When several adult women saw this magical baby stroller, they were naturally surprised and surprised, and they gathered around to take a closer look.
Xu Chen pushed the stroller around the drying beans, watching the bustling, noisy, excited and excited crowd of people. Finally, he handed the stroller to Ye and taught her how to turn.
Then Ye started pushing the stroller around the yard amid the cheers of a group of children.
However, before Ye had even reached half a circle, a group of adults and children were all rushing to push it, so the stroller was being pushed back and forth among the crowd, and it was being pushed all over the yard, and the bustling and noisy sounds resounded throughout the courtyard.
Seeing the bumpy cart that could lose control and overturn at any time, Xu Chen's face turned black.
This is a stroller, not a racing car.
I'm afraid it won't last long if you push it like this, maybe it will break in two or three days.
Obviously, Xu Chen overestimated the quality of his own car.
Because just when he had this idea, the stroller suddenly tilted, and the stroller ran wildly and fell to the ground, including the person and the stroller.
"Wow……"
The rope was crooked in the stroller and I was so frightened that I cried loudly, and a dog gnawed on me.
A group of people rushed forward to help the stroller up, and then they discovered that one of the wheels had come apart.
"Bad!" someone exclaimed.
Xu Chen quickly squeezed in and took a look and breathed a sigh of relief. It was just that the hemp rope binding the wheel axle had come apart. The wheel was not broken and the wicker chair was not broken either.
A few minutes later, Xu Chen tied the wheels back together, and then said to a group of people: "This is for pushing children. It can't be too fast, and it can't sit on big children. Do you understand?"
“I understand, I understand!”
The men, women, and children all nodded, then put the rope back in, and began to push it in turn.
With Xu Chen's explanation, everyone was much more careful this time, especially because they were afraid that a group of children would push the baby carelessly while running around. A few smaller children were even prohibited from pushing the stroller, so such a noisy and chaotic racing action was the reason.
Finally it stopped.
"Let the well sit down!"
A group of people were making a fuss outside and woke up Jing who was sleeping in a cradle in the room. Aunt Seventeen quickly went to pick her daughter up and said that her daughter also wanted to ride in the car, so someone grabbed the rope and put it on the ground. Aunt Seventeen quickly took Jing out.
put in.
Jing, who was originally crying after being woken up, stopped crying immediately after he got on the stroller. However, he just fell in love with drag racing and stopped crying. He chased after the stroller and a group of people, crying loudly, and a group of monkeys too.
Following him, he jumped up and down and screamed, making the scene noisy again.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
One stroller may not be enough.
Seeing the happy look on Aunt Seventeen's face, she seemed to be planning to occupy the stroller.
He originally just wanted to lighten Ye's burden a little, but now that he had achieved his goal of lightening others' burdens, his own burden became even heavier.
The structure of the stroller is a bit complicated, and you also need to roughly calculate the size of the body, the length of the legs and feet, the width and width of the gap between the casters and the legs, etc. Although this is only the simplest geometric knowledge, for the current group of savages, this structure
It is beyond their understanding.
It's like two tool men who can skillfully weave rattan baskets of various sizes, but still can't complete a deck chair independently.
Although experience can make up for this less advanced knowledge.
But experience still needs to be cultivated slowly to form.
As various inventions and creations become more and more complex, in fact, the people of the tribe are increasingly unable to keep up with his speed.
This is true for our own tribe, but the situation for other tribes is even worse.
I don’t know what’s going on with other tribes right now?
Three months have passed since Mother's Day in the spring.
The cloth trade he was looking forward to at the beginning of spring did not appear, and he did not know whether the pottery trade would change after autumn.
These two things were originally the capital on which he planned to rise. Although they had some effects, they were far less in demand than he had originally envisioned.
After all, there are still fewer people, resources and wealth are seriously scarce, and it cannot support a large number of commercial transactions.
If there are several large tribes with thousands of people nearby, they may be able to finally meet their needs.
It's a pity that in this era, there are many things but not many people.
Moreover, it takes more than ten years for a human being to go from pregnancy to childbirth to adulthood, and the process is filled with countless risks of premature death.
It is truly a miracle that human beings can grow into an advanced civilization that dominates the natural world in such a harsh living environment.
These human cubs have taken too much human energy to raise, and their evolution and growth rate are too slow.
Looking at the group of children running around the stroller and the rope crawling on the ground, Xu Chen felt that he was carrying a huge burden, and he had the urge to get a pump and inflate these little savages quickly.
