Han Cheng put the iron rod, which was more than fifteen centimeters long, about two centimeters in diameter, and had a pointed end aside. He did not immediately explain the functions of these things to everyone, but walked back to the stove to look at Hei Wa and his second senior brother.
Making the second piece of iron that is almost ready to take shape.
Blacksmithing is a labor-intensive job, otherwise why do you need to be strong yourself in blacksmithing?
In the Qingque tribe, Hei Wa, who specializes in pottery, is not known for his strength. Although he is talented in blacksmithing, he still has some shortcomings.
Moreover, long-term blacksmithing will make his fingers and arms stiff and less flexible than before.
These small changes are naturally not a problem for others, but Heiwa is different. After all, the more sophisticated the pottery, the higher the requirements for craftsmanship, and the fingers are not flexible, which will definitely affect Heiwa's development in this area in the future.
So after the initial development of blacksmithing technology, Han Chenggong called in his second senior brother and asked him to blacksmith. He also had two "technical veterans" Heiwa to give guidance.
The second senior brother's belly has shrunk a lot, and he has become a little energetic. However, his belly has shrunk too fast, leaving a layer of wrinkled skin.
But at this time, he felt stronger than before, and his strength ranked first among the Qingque tribe.
It would be best to leave the blacksmithing job to the second senior brother.
"Ding-ding-dong..."
The second senior brother held the ax with one arm and swung it with all his strength. One strike was as strong as Hei Wa's twice.
"Okay, use less force and smash this place down."
Han Cheng saw that it was almost done, so he asked the second senior brother to change his approach.
After all this busy work, the second ironware was also produced. It also used a lot of materials and weighed one kilogram.
Call Lame over, use an iron ax to cut out a wooden handle, put it on the iron lump, and an iron hammer will appear.
Han Cheng picked up a hammer and hit a stone, and the stone cracked. It was much easier to use than an axe.
Amid the admiration of everyone, Han Cheng stood up with a hammer in one hand and an iron rod in the other.
Everyone stopped talking and looked expectantly at the two iron tools in Han Cheng's hand, waiting for the Son of God to announce their uses.
There is no one who does not desire two things that can be linked to the field in which he is good at.
The reason why I think this is because the few iron tools manufactured before, especially chisels and saws, have almost become special tools for lameness.
The Qingque tribe is still under common ownership, and the things produced are shared by everyone in the tribe. However, as the means of production become more abundant, the remaining things gradually increase, and people also have some vague ideas.
But this idea is just a germ, still subject to the common ownership they are accustomed to.
The iron tools that people desire to make are linked to the fields they are good at, which is the embodiment of this bud.
The development of everything in the world, no matter how unpredictable it is, seems to have certain rules to follow.
Just like people scattered around the world with different origins, they will eventually move from public to private.
At some point in the future, it may be possible to move from private ownership to public ownership.
From public ownership to private ownership, and then back to public ownership, it is not a repetition of the previous path, but a spiral upward. In this process, productivity will be greatly developed...
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Han Cheng took the hammer and iron rod to the wooden body standing on the outermost edge, raised the hammer and iron rod, and told everyone about their functions with a smile.
This iron rod is actually an iron drill that cooperates with the hammer. Of course, it is not used to make thunder like a thunderbolt, but is used to chisel stones.
Using more than half of the iron collected this time to make these two things was Han Cheng's decision after careful consideration.
Stone and wood are the two most common and commonly used materials, and they can be used in many places.
If you want to make these ubiquitous materials into suitable and easy-to-use utensils, you must have the tools at hand. Otherwise, you will not be able to achieve great development by just relying on the original stone and bone tools.
Only then did the axe, saw, chisel appear last time, and this time the hammer and iron drill appeared.
Hammers and iron drills are the most basic tools for making stone tools.
With these two things, wood craftsmanship will definitely be able to go a step further and create better stone tools.
In fact, there are already large stone tools that need wood, otherwise Han Cheng would not have produced these two things so quickly.
These things are the stone roller used for playing field, and the stone roller hanging behind the stone roller (I don’t know if the wording is correct)
With the gradual increase in the area of grain cultivation, the Qingque tribe's original method of beating the grains with sticks or wooden forks to remove the grains could no longer keep up with the situation.
This method is not only inefficient, but also very tiring. If it is not changed, when the number of millet planted next year reaches several hundred acres, just cultivating the fields will become a huge burden.
And if it is not done well, when the weather does not clear up continuously, the millet harvested in the threshing field may be spoiled.
Combine harvesters, threshing machines, these things Han Cheng could only drool and think about them in his dream. After returning to reality, the only solutions he could come up with were relatively old but very easy to use, and they have been used for several years.
Thousand-year-old things - stone rollers and stone hoops.
When the time comes, put the grain on the field to dry, hitch the herd of deer, and let them pull the stone roller and stone hoop in circles on the threshing field. All you need to do is hold them.
Not only is it easy, it's also efficient.
Mr. Deer, who was grazing in the wilderness and taking the last chance to get some autumn fat, suddenly shivered and the hair all over his body stood on end.
It raised its head, stopped eating grass, and looked around alertly, ready to run away with its men if something went wrong.
As a result, the surrounding area was as calm as ever, and Fu Jiang and Wu Xiaofu who were among the deer did not react in any particular way.
Uncle Deer waited like this for a long time before continuing to eat grass with his head down...
In the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng explained the importance of hammers and iron drills in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and focused on using stone rollers for fighting as an example to let everyone understand the reason for his actions.
Mu Mu took the hammer and iron drill from Han Cheng's hand, looking stunned and a little in disbelief.
He never dreamed that the Son of God spent so much iron to create these two things, and they were actually used to make stone tools for himself.
He is a relatively taciturn person, and not a very confident person. This is why others gathered in front to watch the newly made iron tools and kept discussing their uses, but he stayed on the outermost edge.
In his opinion, whether it is the iron needles that women long for, the iron knives that cooks long for, the iron arrowheads that Junior Brother Sha longs for, and the iron that Shang longs for, which can be mounted on the top of a wooden spear to replace stones and bones.
Points are of great significance to the tribe.
All can allow the tribe to develop well.
As for the stone tools he was good at, he didn't think too much about it.
Because the newly appeared iron is harder and sharper than stone, far beyond the comparison of stone.
From people's desire for iron axes, iron knives, iron hoes, etc., he can feel the decline of what he is good at.
Stone tools will be replaced, and he, who is good at making stone tools, will become even more obscure.
At such a time, the Son of God suddenly came to him with a tool made of precious iron and told him that it was used to make stone tools.
Tell him that stone tools still have very, very big development prospects, and their importance to tribes will not decrease with the emergence of iron tools, but will greatly increase.
How can he not be excited or dull like this?
Like a witch, like a senior brother, like a lame... this person who doesn't like to talk much has a very high sense of identification with the tribe and has the desire to do his best for the tribe.
