Chapter 123: Looking back, I already hugged the towering tree
Lame's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but circle around the wooden ladder made by Han Cheng.
While spinning in circles, I would touch the wooden ladder from time to time. Sometimes I would hold one end of the wooden ladder, lift it up, and shake it vigorously.
The wooden ladder is still strong and has no signs of loosening.
The more this happened, the brighter Lame's eyes became, because he discovered a brand new direction!
In the past, if he wanted to connect two things together, the only way he knew was to tie them with rope, or use rattan that could be used as a rope.
But now, the Son of God has actually made an extremely strong wooden ladder that can be connected without being tied with ropes!
For a lame who is obsessed with all kinds of handicrafts, this is no worse than opening the door to a new world that night after becoming an adult!
"Son of God!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He let go of the wooden ladder and saluted Han Cheng, shouting respectfully.
This is the Qingque tribe's way of showing respect to Han Cheng. Even highly respected shamans rarely receive such courtesy.
The witch is also looking at the wooden ladder. In his opinion, the wooden ladder made by the Son of God is indeed more exquisite and better than the one tied with ropes, but it is not so good that it makes people ecstatic.
It's only right that you don't get excited.
This is the cognitive bias caused by different professions.
Just like the pottery tablets used for carving words that the shaman is happy about, in the eyes of Lame, they are nothing more than that...
With Ling, an avid handcraft enthusiast, Han Cheng basically stayed out of the rest of the wooden ladder manufacturing and let Ling do it.
Only when there was something lame that he couldn't figure out, he would give some guidance.
It is worth mentioning that Han Cheng has already produced the ruler.
Because as more and more things are manufactured, the production of various objects must also meet certain standards. In this way, the manufactured things will be more beautiful. On the other hand, if they are all made according to certain standards, the things on the objects will be damaged.
It is easy to replace, so that if one part of the object is broken, the whole object will be scrapped.
Of course, another thing is that Han Cheng wants a relatively accurate measurement tool.
This ruler is easy to make. You just need to find some straight wooden strips and peel off the outer skin, leaving only the white bones on the inside.
First estimate the length of ten centimeters, and then use this ten centimeter length as the standard to extend the ruler step by step to one meter, one meter and five meters or even two and a half meters.
Then, within this standard ten centimeters, carve out the scales from zero to ten evenly and mark them with numbers. After carving, get a little charcoal foam on your hands and rub these scales with your hands.
The obvious scale will become clear immediately.
Similarly, using this standard ten centimeter wooden stick as a comparison, the scales on several other tree sticks with different lengths are accurate to centimeters, and a small vertical bar is carved in the middle of each centimeter.
, that's the half centimeter mark.
For the current Qingque tribe, accuracy down to centimeters is enough.
Of course, the ten centimeters distance estimated by Han Cheng will be more or less different from the ten centimeters of later generations, but there is no need to worry, as long as he can continue this standard to ensure that the rulers produced later will be
If they are all the same length as the first ten centimeters, then his standard is accurate.
Therefore, Han Cheng was very careful about preserving the first ten centimeters of wood.
After communicating with the witch for a while and explaining the importance of this thing, the witch who seemed to understand but not understand placed it on the stone slab with the feather crown and bone staff in front of the totem pole. It was the most sacred place in the entire Qingque tribe.
, is also the safest place.
Wu didn't fully understand what Shenzi said. He didn't know how this small piece of ordinary wood could suddenly become so important.
But since the Son of God said it so solemnly, it must not be wrong.
The making of rulers is a meticulous job and cannot be sloppy at all. In order to make these things well, Han Cheng worked on them one after another for seven or eight days before he was finished.
However, the ruler made of wooden sticks also has its shortcomings, that is, it is not long enough. A shorter ruler is fine for measuring, but once it is long, it is extremely inconvenient to use.
So, the measuring tape came into being.
The material of the tape measure is very simple, it is just twisted rope.
Han Cheng intercepted two ropes, one was ten meters, and the other was five meters. They were both measured using the previous accuracy ruler.
Then start from the beginning, every ten centimeters, use a single cord grass to tie a small knot here, and one meter away, use a double cord grass to twist a thin rope, tie a big knot, this is a perfect solution.
Solve the problem of leaving scales on the rope.
These two 'tape measures' are basically used to measure the 'foundation' of the courtyard wall, the gaps between the beams and other large distances. You don't need to be too accurate. A scale of ten centimeters is enough.
The manufactured 'tape measures' are wrapped around short wooden sticks, pulled apart when in use, and wrapped around again when not in use.
In order to popularize the concept of rulers to the people in the tribe and teach them how to use them, Han Cheng also worked hard and spent a lot of words before they gradually accepted, understood what a ruler was, and learned how to use it.
In terms of understanding and using rulers, the person who learned the fastest was not Shi Shi, who was extremely talented in Chinese and Chinese characters, but this guy who was lame.
This may be related to the fact that he has been frequently engaged in weaving fish cages, rafts, fences and other things in the past year or so.
Because these things have to have a certain size when made, he has been exposed to them more, so he can naturally understand and use them faster than ordinary people.
Next is Hei Wa, the first pottery maker of the Qingque tribe, and then Stone.
Among the people in the tribe, the one Han Cheng admired more was Lame.
Because he had injured his leg before, he had experienced the sadness of becoming a burden, so when Han Cheng appeared and gave him some hope, he desperately held on and refused to let go.
In this way, after more than a year has passed, when you look back, you will be surprised to find that he already has so much! And many of them are far beyond ordinary people.
The lame man was holding a piece of charcoal in one hand and a one-meter-long ruler in the other hand. He was making gestures on a wooden pillar lying flat on the ground. He was muttering something in his mouth and kept making gestures like this for a while.
, he would use black charcoal to draw some marks on the wooden pillars.
It looks a bit like woodworking from later generations.
He is looking for the spot where the eye needs to be made.
If you want to make a wooden ladder, the holes on the pillars on both sides of the ladder for passing the horizontal bars must be aligned. Otherwise, the horizontal bars will either not fit in or become loose...
He was doing things selflessly and did not notice the look of approval in Han Cheng's eyes standing aside.
(Good news! Good news! I received the news that I will meet in Sanjiang at 2 o'clock this Sunday afternoon. The recommendation I have been looking forward to for so long has finally arrived. I am so excited!
Thank you all book friends for your support, thank you. I am also very grateful to my editor boss for giving me such an important push and pull position for such a niche book. Thank you.
Tomorrow the old book will come to an end, and I can concentrate on writing a book. From the day after tomorrow, there will be double updates every day, and I will save some manuscripts and wait for them to be put on the shelves. After they are put on the shelves, the updates will not be so weak, but will burst out from time to time.
Then... I still ask for votes. Comrades, when you have the votes, feel free to greet me! Don't be afraid of pain.
Finally, such a happy event must be updated! The third update tonight is to celebrate. Thank you book friends for your support.)
