Chapter 48 The fish cage that can enter but cannot exit
When breaking the tree stick, Han Cheng made a mark about half a meter away from the remaining part of the tree stick.
Then arrange these tree sticks side by side, and take out another straight tree stick to use as a ruler. Based on the half-meter-long mark marked on the edge of the tree stick, it will be regarded as straight.
The tree stick used for the ruler is laid horizontally and flat according to this mark.
After finding the correct position, Han Cheng pressed the 'ruler' with one hand to prevent it from moving, and with the other hand he took a relatively sharp and compact 'stone knife' and scratched along the 'ruler'.
After the 'ruler' was taken away, a mark appeared on the neatly arranged tree sticks at the same position.
Han Cheng did not let anyone touch these sticks. Instead, he picked up the stick on the edge that was used as a ruler, aligned the end of it that was close to half a meter with the marked half meter of the second stick, and then
Make a second half-meter mark on the second stick based on the half-meter mark on it.
Then put the first stick back to its original position and join the other arranged sticks.
Han Cheng picked up the stick and used it as a ruler and stretched it horizontally on the second half-meter mark. Following the previous method, after finding the level, he pulled it horizontally along the straightedge.
In this way, two and a half meter marks were marked on each stick.
Regardless of whether Han Cheng's estimate of the distance of half a meter is accurate or not, the distance drawn in this way must be the same.
This ensures that the tree sticks will be the same length after being cut out.
After he made the best mark, the children gathered around and started working together. Each person took a marked stick and followed the method taught by the Son of God before. He held a 'stone knife' in his hand and cut around the mark.
A shallow circle of marks will be made, which can ensure that the incision made by lame folding is relatively neat to the greatest extent.
The sticks were folded, one pile was long and the other was short. These people, including the shaman who came after hearing the noise, were all curious about how the Son of God planned to use such a thing.
Can a wall that can keep wild beasts out be built with these small sticks?
Han Cheng didn't say anything more, but started to pick up four short wooden sticks and form them into a square with a side length of about 25 centimeters.
Tie the joints securely with rope.
Han Cheng made two square frames of the same size.
After the two square frames were completed, he took out four long wooden sticks and connected them to the two square frames respectively. After the four wooden sticks were firmly tied, a rectangular frame made of wooden sticks appeared.
.
Several primitive women were sitting not far away, with a pile of dried cord grass beside them. They were twisting three pieces of cord grass together into a rope according to the method taught by Shenzi before.
The rope is inherently tough, and it becomes even stronger after rubbing three pieces together and twisting them into a thin rope.
Such a rope can lift more than ten kilograms of bacon!
Han Chengcheng explained the rope rubbing thing in the morning, so by now, they have already rubbed a lot.
Han Cheng picked up a twisted straw rope and began to weave it around at one end of the rectangular frame. After a while, a square with a large front end and a small opening at the back appeared on the square frame at this end.
A web trapped within.
Such a hole can ensure that fish can swim in but cannot get out.
That's right, Han Cheng is making fish cages now.
Of course, such a small thing cannot build a fence, but it can provide a strong guarantee for building a fence!
As long as dozens of fish cages are made and the number of fish in the river outside is available, the people in the tribe will not have to worry about food for a long time.
Once the food problem is solved, people will naturally be available to build the wall.
After completing the innermost mechanism that allows fish to enter or not exit, Han Cheng began to weave nets on the other five sides of the fish cage except for the opening.
The size of the mesh should be enough to fit Han Cheng's entire palm. In this way, the number of fish caught in the fish trap would be at least seven or eight taels.
Han Cheng didn't want to catch the fish that was too small. After all, for fish, life also only lasts once, so it should be of greater value.
For the same fish, one pound is only enough for a child, while five pounds is enough for two adults.
Han Cheng calls this the value of life.
Weaving the net outside the fish cage is a relatively laborious job. Fortunately, Han Cheng has been working hard during this period and has capital on hand. Otherwise, after weaving this fish cage, he would have to work hard.
It is impossible to grind out blisters.
In the afternoon, when the sun moved about halfway to the west, the fish trap was built.
After Han Cheng pressed hard around to make sure that the fish cage was strong and without any flaws, he picked up a rope that was thicker than an ordinary straw rope and tied one end of it to a wooden stick at the mouth of the fish cage. The knot was strong.
Real.
This rope was twisted out using the same technique as the three-strand straw rope used to weave fish cages. It was extremely strong. With it, the fish cage was lifted halfway out of the water, and then the rope broke. Not only did the fish escape, but the fish cage was also lost.
basically won't happen.
The last step was finally done. While Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was also slightly excited. It was almost time to fish!
Unlike Han Cheng's excitement, Wu and the children were puzzled. They didn't understand how something that could be easily picked up with one hand could defend against wild beasts, and why the wall he was talking about looked so unreliable.
?
Han Cheng saw their doubts and knew that they were all thinking the wrong thing, so he smiled and shook his head and said: "This is not a wall, it is a fish trap, used to catch fish."
Everyone was stunned, this result was so unexpected!
You said that you just kept saying that you must build the wall, but after working hard for a long time, you came up with something that has nothing to do with building the wall.
They don't understand what fishing has to do with building a wall.
Wu's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he vaguely understood Han Cheng's thoughts.
However, if it is really as he thought, then he has never heard of this strange appearance. The thing called a 'fish cage' by the Son of God must be able to catch a lot of fish. At the end of the day, one
The number of fish caught in the fish trap must be at least as many as two people can harpoon.
Han Cheng handed the fish cage to Hei Wa and asked him to hold it for him. Then he took Wu's hand and led everyone towards the river with Wu.
Because there were wolves around, the people who came out basically had weapons in their hands.
The eldest brother even selected two women from the hunting team and asked them to stay in the tribe to strengthen the tribe's defense during the day and protect everyone's safety.
(I saw someone else saying that everything in this chapter can be refined. I searched for a long time but couldn't find where to do it... Please forgive me for being a half-hearted author. I also ask all book friends to speak freely. If you have any good ideas or need to complain, please feel free to comment.
You can tell me that I will make appropriate adjustments based on the situation, and I will also adopt some good suggestions? Thank you everyone.)
