Chapter 1196 The new door opened by gears (two in one)
Wu Mai moved his steps and kept circling around the spinning machine that had just proved his worth, looking particularly amazed.
During this process, from time to time he would reach out and touch the spinning machine a few times, holding the wooden handle and stirring it a few times.
The wrinkled face is full of smiles, just like a child who has got a novelty. His whole body is full of curiosity, excitement and joy.
Of course he was happy. After all, he had just witnessed with his own eyes how effective this thing called the spinning machine by the Son of God was at spinning!
If Shenzi did not call for a stop and allowed these people to continue, the speed of those using the string top would become slower and slower without rest.
On the other hand, when using a spinning machine to spin Bai Xuemei, there is no such trend.
Wu knew clearly that if things like this continued, the gap between threads spun with a thread top and threads spun with a spinning machine would become even greater!
In other words, relying on the spinning machine, the work that originally required four people can now be completed by one person!
This is equivalent to saving three-quarters of the manpower!
This is three out of four manpower!
Thinking about the large number of people in his tribe who work hard for spinning, and then thinking about the manpower that will be saved, how could the witch be unhappy?
In fact, not only the witch, but also everyone else present was extremely happy.
Because this thing is really easy to use and has great effect on the tribe.
The first carpenter in the tribe, Lame, stood here and stared at the spinning machine without blinking. To be precise, he looked at the two wheels, large and small, with even ridges and depressions.
Looking at the small wheel that was connected to these protrusions and depressions and being driven in circles, his eyes were shining brightly, as if something was emerging in his mind.
This is a brand new idea and a brand new direction, which brought him a lot of inspiration and inspiration.
These inspirations and inspirations have not yet been specific to where or what, but I am convinced that this will be very useful in the future and will allow me to make a very big breakthrough in the things I create!
Seeing the reaction of everyone in the tribe, Han Cheng, who had made such a thing on his own, felt particularly comfortable.
This kind of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment was something I had never experienced before when I provided some ideas with Lai and the others and asked them to come up with things!
No wonder the carpenter emperor is so addicted to carpentry. It turns out that if this thing is done well, it actually has such an effect!
After everyone had a hard time, more than half of the morning had passed.
Han Cheng, who had been up most of the night, finally felt sleepy.
He returned to the house where he lived, lay on a bamboo mat, and soon fell asleep.
As he fell asleep, the excitement in the tribe caused by the appearance of the spinning machine did not diminish.
More and more people know that Shenzi has developed a very, very easy-to-use new machine. Many people go to the carpenter's room to visit and gain knowledge.
After seeing the performance of this new machine and knowing the significance of its appearance to the tribe, everyone was extremely happy and excited.
Of course, there is also deep admiration for the Son of God!
Especially the women in the tribe.
This kind of machine is simply used to rescue them!
In the past, they didn't think there was any trouble in spinning the thread with a thread top when everything was fine.
But now I think about how many of them will no longer have to spin threads with a spinning top, and many of them will immediately feel a deep sense of happiness.
This is a kind of ease that radiates from deep within!
…
The spinning machine still needs to be modified in many places.
For example, the shaft of a spinning machine.
Once the shaft is ready, the wheel will turn faster and lighter, people will become more relaxed, and weaving will be more efficient.
Another example is wheels...
Han Cheng would make these things when he wanted to, and when he didn't want to, the professional carpenters in the tribe would make them.
After all, he is not a professional carpenter, and he still doesn't know how to handle some delicate work.
But these things are trivial.
Because he had already invented the hand-operated spinning machine, there was nothing left to think about.
No matter how people in the tribe improve this, they will only make each component more sophisticated and suitable based on the existing ones.
If you follow the gourd's example, this kind of thing can't be difficult for anyone.
At least it was difficult for the carpenters in the tribe who had already become skilled at it.
Under such circumstances, improved hardcover hand-spinning machines soon appeared among the tribes, and the number was increasing.
In some places in the tribe, you can already see the women of the tribe sitting there, shaking the spinning machine with their hands, spinning constantly.
Because this thing just came out and is still a novelty among the tribe, it is very popular now.
Several people compete for the use of one machine, or they agree on who will use the spinning machine to spin thread for a period of time, and then the rest of the people will take over.
Han Cheng looked at such a scene and couldn't help but smile.
These people are also a novelty for a while. After a while, after hand spinning machines become popular in the tribe, many people in the tribe will no longer have the interest they have now...
This person, who has often been stuck in the downstream shipyard for a while, has now become a little "not doing his job properly".
He is obsessed with gears now.
Therefore, many gears have been made.
Some are made purely from wood blocks, and some are made from a mixture of bamboo and wood.
Some use vines, wooden sticks, etc.
Of course, Lame was not the only person who discovered the wonderful use of gears because of the spinning machine and became obsessed with it. There was also a person in charge of making molds who also made bronze molds.
And the bronze gears were cast out of bronze.
During this process, everyone also began to study from the shallower to the deeper what specifications of gears are the most comfortable to use and have the best performance.
What is the appropriate density of gear teeth...
I don’t know since when, the weather has not been so hot.
Han Cheng thought for a while and realized that such changes should have started from the autumn rain a few days ago.
One autumn rain and one cool night.
The sky has also become higher and higher, with white clouds floating scattered above.
From time to time, flocks of birds will fly across the sky. When the flocks are large, they can really block out the sky and the sun.
So much so that the geese in the increasingly larger goose pen in the tribe couldn't help but flap their wings along with them, wanting to fly south with them.
But this is obviously impossible to happen.
This is not only because the considerate Qingque tribe members often come over with scissors to trim their feathers one by one and cut off the excess hair on their wings. Another reason is that the goose house where they live is always covered with hoods.
A net woven with a layer of rope.
These two layers of things remind them all the time that they don't want to fly south, they just want to stay quietly here in the Qingque Tribe and lay eggs to eat with the people of the Qingque Tribe.
The white clouds in the sky spread into the river of Qingque tribe, forming clusters of clouds.
In addition to the reflection in the sky, there are some real things.
If you look closely, you will find that these things are nothing but open white sails.
A ship with white sails is sailing on the water, and it also makes some steering movements.
If someone from outside the tribe came here at this time and knew a lot about boats, he would definitely be stunned by the scene he saw in front of him.
Because this big ship with white sails did not use a pennant or an oar when turning.
Just a person standing on the stern of the boat pushed a wooden stick as thick as a baby's arm to one side, and the boat turned!
Such a scene in their eyes will definitely shock them greatly!
Han Cheng was not from an outside tribe, so naturally he would not be shocked by the sight in front of him.
But looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
The sailboat in front of me is still the same sailboat as before, but it has changed a lot compared to before.
Just like the rudder used to steer a ship.
The current rudder has become a real rudder, and there is a fundamental difference between it and the oar.
It only has a steering function left. As for the function of providing forward momentum to the ship by swinging left and right, it has been completely cancelled.
If one function is sacrificed and only one function is left, the effect will naturally be stronger than having both functions.
As the function changes, the style will also change.
The previous unsuccessful rudder relied on a solid wooden post and was fixed diagonally to the stern.
The current rudder is fixed straight up and down at the stern of the ship.
In order to allow the person holding the rudder to better control the steering of the rudder, a wooden stick about half a meter long was installed horizontally on the pole of the rudder.
When you need to turn, you can hold the stick and push it forward or pull it into your arms without expending too much effort.
Moreover, because the rudder is installed straight up and down, it can rotate to a greater extent.
If it is not deliberately restricted, it can rotate 360 degrees!
This is also the reason why its effect on turning is far better than that of a oar.
After all, the range that the oar can turn left and right is much smaller.
This kind of mature oar can appear and be successfully installed on a sailboat. It took a lot of effort by Lai and others.
When I only look at the results, I feel that this small change is nothing more than that. It is very simple and can be made by one person.
This is just for standing and talking without back pain.
Before this layer of window paper was punctured, this seemingly simple thing would cause many people to lose their hair in embarrassment!
But what makes people feel uncomfortable is that there are still many such people in life...
The sails have had some adjustments.
Previously, the sailboat of the Qingque Tribe was modified and used as a test product. The first sail was a longitudinal sail, and the remaining two sails were horizontal sails.
Now the first and second sails are fore and aft sails, and only the third sail near the stern is a square sail.
And the area of this horizontal sail is significantly smaller than the previous two sails.
This is the result of the sailors of the Qingque Tribe, who in this short period of time, through sailing again and again, summed up their experience time and time again, slowly figured it out and made changes.
Two longitudinal sails and one horizontal sail ensure that the sail can sail with the help of wind from all directions.
And the speed is faster than other combinations, and the ship is more convenient to maneuver.
In fact, these sailors in the tribe tried many combinations before making the sail into the current two-length and one-side style.
For example, three feet are all longitudinal sails, three are all horizontal sails, and one longitudinal sail is two horizontal sails.
One vertical and two horizontal chapters are divided into the first chapter being vertical, the second chapter being vertical, and the third chapter being vertical, and the rest being horizontal.
After trying this all the way, the people in the tribe finally discovered that in the current situation, the sails were made into two fore-and-aft sails and one transverse sail, and the two longitudinal sails were the two in front and the transverse sail was the last one.
The overall effect is the best.
This is something that seems boring and extremely tests one's patience.
Fortunately, after these sailors' daily attempts and summaries, good results have been achieved so far.
After a lot of hard work, you get a good result, which may be an important reason why many people can endure the boring process.
Of course, it's not the only reason.
For example, in later generations, many people choose to do a job, not because they like the job so much, but because in addition to the immediate hardships in life, there are also longer hardships in the future...
Han Cheng stood under a tree by the river and watched for a while the sailors in the tribe were controlling the ships sailing back and forth. Then he walked along the river bank and headed down.
After a while, we arrived at the shipyard located downstream of the river.
The shipyard is newly built and covers a large area of about ten acres.
Like all residential buildings in the Qingque Tribe, this shipyard is surrounded by walls.
However, there were basically not many houses built inside, only four in total.
The rest are all built in greenhouses.
It consists of pillars made of blue bricks and lime mixed with sand, and strong wooden beams.
The wooden beams are similar to the houses built by the tribe, with roofs made of fences, mud, and tiles.
Under these sheds, some are stored with wood, while others are used as working factories.
With this kind of shed that is breathable and can provide shelter from rain, people working here will feel much better.
In summer, you can't get the sun, and you can't get wet when it rains.
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, when it rains, there is no reason to rest, and you still have to continue working...
