Regarding the location of the furnace in the Tongshan residential area, Han Cheng has already made a choice.
There is a relatively flat piece of land between Copper Mountain and the tin mine, and this is where the furnace will be built.
Generally speaking, if the construction of industrial zones requires a large amount of raw materials, they will usually choose to build factories in raw material production areas, and some will choose to build factories in places with convenient transportation.
The Qingque tribe will now come here to develop the same residential area, which is based on raw materials.
The furnace was built at the foot of Tongshan Mountain, close to Tongshan and slightly far from the tin mine. This is because when smelting bronze, generally speaking, copper consumption is large.
To build the furnace here, people only need to pour the excavated copper ore along the hillside, which is very convenient.
While making the stove, Hei Wa made some suggestions. He thought that a small wall should be built outside the cave of the Soaring Snake Tribe. After all, the people in the tribe would live in this cave for a long time.
The people of the Qingque tribe have already had a deep understanding of walls in their hearts, so now whenever they settle outside, they want to build walls or protective measures similar to walls. Without these, they always feel unsafe.
Hei Wa's suggestion is actually the same as the steps taken by the Qingque tribe when they first became rich. First, build a wall outside the cave to enclose things, and then slowly build houses inside the wall so that people can move out and live in the house.
Of course, there was no problem with this method in the past, but it is not applicable to the Tongshan residential area.
The most core things in the Tongshan residential area are copper mines and tin mines. There is no doubt about this, so the architecture should be centered on these two things, or the stove.
The cave of the original Tengshe tribe was almost four miles away from the place where Han Cheng chose to cook the stove.
This kind of distance is fine for a short period of time, but it is not suitable for a long time.
First, once the copper furnace is burning, it will generally start refining 24 hours a day and night, and someone must guard it at all times. It is inconvenient if the place of residence is far from the place where copper is refined.
.
The second is the safety issue of the furnace and the people who smelt copper.
The round-the-clock nature of copper smelting dictates the implementation of a two- or three-shift system, which means that it is impossible for these people to work at the same time.
If the distance between the residential area and the place where copper is smelted is too far, the manpower will be scattered. It's okay if you don't encounter enemies on weekdays, but if you encounter enemies attacking and harassing you, it will be a bit dangerous.
Thirdly, for the sake of personnel safety, a fence must be built around the furnace. This means that two fences need to be built.
This is undoubtedly very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
So Han Cheng's idea was to put the industrial area and the residential area into the same large courtyard, so that people could live there while smelting copper.
Industrial zones are built downwind, which can reduce the impact of pollution on people to a certain extent.
In fact, compared to later generations, the 'industrial zone' that the Qingque tribe will build is really crude and pitiful, and its scale is pitifully small, and the corresponding pollution it can bring is extremely limited.
Even living in close proximity will not cause too much harm.
After Han Cheng expressed his thoughts, Hei Wa thought for a while and nodded in admiration. The Son of God is the Son of God. He only thought that there would be nothing wrong if he followed the original path. Now it seems that things are not what he thought.
like that...
After choosing an address and deciding what to build first, on the third day after arriving in Tongshan, the people of the Qingque tribe began to get busy under Han Cheng's arrangements.
Hei Wa and two others were cooking the stove, and the rest were building the wall according to the lines drawn by Han Cheng.
The people who came to the Tongshan residential area this time, in addition to the twenty citizens and fifteen slaves headed by Junior Brother Sha, there were also ten people headed by Han Cheng.
Han Cheng is here to preside over the overall situation, Hei Wa is here to play the Kang, and the rest are here to protect Han Cheng's personal safety.
It is very necessary for these eight people to protect Han Cheng's personal safety, because after getting on the right track here, Han Cheng and Hei Wa will return to the tribe early.
It would definitely not be possible for the two of them to walk together when they returned to the tribe. Even if Han Cheng had such a big heart, other people in the tribe would not agree.
In addition to guarding Han Cheng's safety on the way back, the eight people who came out could also devote themselves to the early development of the Tongshan residential area at this time.
Calculated in this way, plus the presence of Han Cheng, a man who did not work enough to break the bank, the number of people who could participate in the construction of the wall reached forty-two.
The forty-two people were all strong adults, so the wall was built very quickly.
Of course, the fence here in the Tongshan residential area is progressing quickly. In addition to the large number of people involved in the construction and the scale being far less than the large fence being built by the Qingque tribe, another reason is that the materials used are different.
At the foot of Tongshan, there are rocks all over, and none of them are particularly big.
With ready-made building materials available, Han Cheng would certainly not ask anyone to dig out and ram earth to build a wall.
If there are enough stones, building a wall with stone will be much faster than rammed earth, at least twice as fast.
Because the stone only needs to be moved to that base, unlike the earth wall, which has to be tamped down again and again after digging, for fear that it will not be strong.
If a stone is placed on the base, it will take a while for the rammed earth to reach the same volume.
And I think compared to rammed earth, stone is stronger and can withstand wind and rain.
Many foreign civilizations in later generations were made of stone. Because they were strong and difficult to shake, many of them have been preserved.
On the other hand, Han Cheng's motherland has a long history and has produced many exquisite, gorgeous and fascinating buildings. However, because most of them are carved and painted, many of them were blown away by the rain and wind.
The Afang Palace, which was suppressed for more than 300 miles, was burned by a Chu man. It was a pitiful end in a scorched earth. The Pearl-like Old Summer Palace encountered two robbers...
Another advantage of a fence made of stone is that no one dares to dig holes in the fence, just like the cattle thieves of later generations who would never choose a house made of stone to start.
Because if you do that, you will probably get yourself killed.
Time passed by minute by second, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun cast an orange glow. The evening breeze blew by, bringing waves of coolness to the people who were carrying stones and working hard to build another home.
"Try harder!"
Wearing leather gloves, he placed a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms on the wall and supported it with small stones. He glanced at the crowd and said loudly.
It is most comfortable to work in the morning and at this time of the day. Of course, it is best to work more while it is cool...
