Chapter 102 The old and the weak beat the young and the next witch
Chi~chi~
Chi~chi~

…
Wu sat on the stone, curled up his legs, and stepped lightly on a piece of polished bone to fix the bone and prevent it from moving.
His hands spread apart to hold the two ends of the hand-drilling board, press it, lift it, press it again, lift it again... With his movements, the stone drill fixed on the drill rod would rotate rapidly.
Then it makes a sound of "chi~chi~".
At the place where holes need to be drilled under the stone drill, a lot of bone foam has appeared, surrounding the stone drill.
While Wu was drilling holes with his hand drill, the strongest senior brother was squatting aside, holding a piece of bone about the same thickness as Wu's feet in one hand, and holding a stone drill in the other hand, drilling desperately.
At the beginning, due to his youth and strength, the senior brother drilled holes faster than Wu.
But he couldn't maintain this high speed for too long. In less than two minutes, he had to slow down because of fatigue.
On the other hand, Wu, this old man, just like at the beginning, usually maintained an unhurried and unslow pace, pressing down on the wooden board one by one, appearing calm and composed.
"Click."
There was a faint sound of something breaking, coming from the bone plate that the witch was stepping on. At the same time, the rotating hand drill was also stuck.
This is a sign that the bone plate has been drilled through.
Wu carefully put away the hand drill, picked up the bone plate under his feet and looked at it. A hole that was thick on the outside and thin on the inside appeared on the bone plate.
After having this hole, you only need to hold a stone drill with your hand and rest for a while, and the hole on the bone will be completely completed.
After the shaman, whose face was only slightly red, put the hand drill aside, the sweating senior brother also stopped moving. He put down the stone drill and the bones in his hand, and his movements became tense because he was rushing to drill.
Painful, sore wrists and fingers.
The wizard brought the bone plate that the elder brother had put down. The hole in it was only about one-third of the thickness of the bone plate.
This drilling competition ended with the old and frail Wu completely defeating the young and strong senior brother.
Moreover, the wizard who drilled a hole can continue to drill at the previous speed, while the senior brother, if he does not take a break, his drilling speed will become slower and slower.
Without comparison, there is no harm, and it cannot reflect the difference between the original drilling method and the hand drill developed by Han Chengxin.
At the current speed, it is very easy for one person to use a hand drill to drill six or seven bone holes in a day.
In other words, the drilling speed must be increased by at least three times. Sure enough, it is still necessary to develop new tools.
The shaman who experienced the benefits of hand-drilling with his own hands held the hand-drilled drill in one hand and the bone fragment with the drilled hole in the other hand. He bowed to Han Cheng with sincerity and praised: "Son of God!"
The rest of the people who had witnessed the wonders of the hand-pressed drill followed the witch's movements and saluted the Son of God together, shouting respectfully and excitedly: "Son of God!"
Whenever encountering a miracle, it has become the norm for the Qingque tribe to bow down and salute and chant the word ‘Son of God’.
The witch held a sacrifice again, and the items used for sacrifice were the hand drill that Han Cheng had just made, and the bone fragment with a hole drilled by the hand drill.
In the past, the number of sacrifices held by the Qingque tribe was very few. From spring to spring, the number of sacrifices held by the shamans began to increase in a straight line.
rise.
Just like recording things, the witch is also in pain and happiness. Sometimes, he also feels that frequent sacrifices will cause the gods to be dissatisfied. However, if he does not tell the gods about the various miracles created by the Son of God, the witch will feel uncomfortable.
So much so that now, every time Han Cheng comes up with something new, Wu has to go through such a tangled psychological process.
After the sacrifice, the manufacturing of hand drills began in large quantities.
The manufacture of hand-pressed drills is not complicated. When Han Cheng was making it, both Lame and Heiwa were watching. They had already memorized the process in their hearts. With him and his two people here, within two days, the Qingque Tribe was
Five more hand drills were drilled out.
The children in the tribe are far more interested in the new hand-pressed drill than the adults. They always want to wait for the opportunity to experience the magical things created by the Son of God with their own hands, just like Han Cheng stood aside and watched eagerly.
Looks like a bamboo craftsman.
The emergence of hand drills greatly increased the speed of bone shovel production, but in just six or seven days, the Qingque tribe produced fifteen or six more bone shovels!
Up to now, the Qingque Tribe’s storage capacity of bone shovels has reached thirty-four!
In this way, when spring comes, Han Chengcheng no longer has to worry about the lack of digging tools.
Even if there is a lot of digging work after the beginning of spring, it is impossible for all thirty-four bone shovels to be used at the same time. The reason why Han Cheng made so many is to prepare more.
After all, the method of making this bone shovel is primitive. Even if Han Cheng has put a lot of effort into it, it cannot be as durable as the iron shovels of later generations. It is bound to be damaged during the digging process.
With a spare bone shovel, progress will not be affected due to damage to the bone shovel.
As for the damaged bone shovel, you can wait until you are not working to repair it.
Of course, the use of hand drills is not only for making bone shovels, but can also be used in the manufacture of many things in the future.
After a period of use, Han Cheng made improvements to the hand drill in response to problems that arose during use.
The area for improvement is the rope.
Although the rope woven from cord grass is strong, it is not very wear-resistant. During continuous use, the rope is easy to break. The improvement Han Cheng made was to replace the rope woven with cord grass with one twisted from leather strips.
rope.
After the sacrifice, everyone in the tribe was busy making hand-pressed drills, and the shaman was not idle either, recording everything on the pottery tablet in his inner cave.
Now, in addition to Han Cheng and senior brother, there is one more person who can enter the inner cave in normal times.
This person is not Shang, the leader of the original pig tribe, but an underage Shi Shi.
Because there are so many magical things created by the Son of God, even with a relatively easy-to-use clay tablet and the writing speed has increased a lot, the witch still can't keep up with the progress.
After some thought, Wu made the decision to select the best stone in the tribe that mastered the 'divine characters' and 'divine language' as his successor.
This would help him record things and reduce the workload of the witch. Secondly, the witch was getting older and needed to start cultivating a successor.
In fact, at the beginning, the witch had the intention of taking Han Cheng as his successor and making Han Cheng a great and glorious witch of the Qingque tribe.
His thoughts had completely disappeared after Han Cheng broke the ice to catch fish last winter.
