Chapter 888 In fact, human beings have always been evolving
Seeing the man's red face and thick neck due to exhaustion, Han Cheng tried to turn the windlass for a while, and then he found to his embarrassment that the windlass he made was more tiring to use than simply pulling soil up with a rope.
When the colander is empty, I don't feel anything wrong when stirring it, but when the colander is filled with soil, stirring it again becomes really tiring.
After just a brief inspection, Han Cheng and Lai discovered the problem.
It’s not that the windlass was poorly made, it’s that the frame wasn’t built properly.
After the rafter head is filled with soil, the windlass will be pressed hard into the forks, making it difficult to stir.
After the problem was discovered, things became easier to solve.
For those who can make a two-wheeled donkey tribe, this problem is really not a big problem. You only need to install the bronze bearings used on the donkey wheels at both ends, and then slightly improve the frame, and all problems will be solved.
's solved.
"Come on, come here and try it again to see if it works or not."
After reinstalling the windlass, Han Cheng smiled and said to the man who was panting from exhaustion.
After hearing this, the man took hold of the handle of the windlass again.
At the beginning, he held the handle of the pulley with both hands and stirred it with great strength.
But after stirring it twice, I found that the improved windlass was much lighter than before.
After stirring for two more times, he simply held the handle with one hand and stirred without feeling it was too strenuous.
“It’s so useful! It’s so useful!”
After stirring up a handful of soil with one hand, the man looked very excited and praised the effectiveness of the windlass loudly.
When new things are invented like this, of course the presence of witches is inevitable.
After seeing that this man could stir up a heavy load of soil from the well with one hand, Wu couldn't bear it anymore. He told Han Cheng that he also wanted to try this new tool.
Faced with the witch's request, Han Cheng agreed after only a slight hesitation. However, he stood aside while the witch was conducting the experiment, ready to immediately take over and hold down the handle of the pulley once the witch could no longer stir.
"Okay! Pull!"
The empty rafter head was put back into the well. After a while, a message that the soil had been loaded came out.
The wizard, who had been waiting for a while, cheered up after hearing the words, held the handle of the pulley with both hands and began to stir vigorously.
After stirring it for two times, I found that it was much easier than I thought.
This discovery suddenly made Wu become excited, and he immediately sped up the stirring speed.
Watching this scene, Han Cheng, who was on the sidelines and prepared to take over once the witch lost strength, couldn't help but sniff. It seemed that the witch's sword was still young!
After the wizard stirred up a pile of soil, Han Cheng did not let him pull it. Instead, he bent down and stretched out his hand to pull the pile head out of the well mouth.
After all, Wu was old, so it was okay to use tools like a windlass to stir up the heavy rafters from the well, but it was impossible to really let him pull them out.
Seeing the soil stirred up by himself, Wu's neck and face turned red.
It's not that he was tired, it was just excitement.
He was old and his strength was gone. Normally, he would not be able to lift such a pile of soil out of the well.
But now, not only did he do it, but he didn't feel it took too much effort!
This kind of thing proves from the side that he is still relatively young. How can this not make Wu feel excited?
Of course, in addition to this aspect, Wu also thought of other aspects.
He looked at the person standing not far away. His whole body was round and round, and he remembered the fatigue when he fell asleep at night.
How great would it be if the Son of God could also make people create a tool for this, so that people can save effort?
You don’t need to have such a strong labor-saving effect like a windlass, you only need to save half the effort...
After such thoughts came to his mind, Wu became extremely excited.
He felt as if he had discovered something extremely extraordinary.
After standing there like this for a while, Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Son of God, I, I have something to tell you."
Wu looked excited and said to Han Cheng, and walked to a place with few people.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Wu's excited expression.
When people are young, they always look forward to growing up. When they grow up and face all kinds of pressure, they will envy those old people who can just go around and entertain their children for a while without doing too many things every day.
But when we really get to that point, we will envy the children for their extremely long lives and the strength of the adults.
Han Cheng understood these things, so he could probably understand Wu's mood at this time and why he was so excited.
It was nothing more than using the pulley to lift the weight that he couldn't usually lift. With the help of the pulley, he felt youthful and powerful again.
However, when he followed the witch to a relatively quiet and uninhabited place and listened to what the witch expressed, Han Cheng realized that he had been wrong, and that he was very wrong.
Looking at the witch in front of him who looked at him with excitement and expectation, Han Cheng's eyes widened and he fell into a sluggish state as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, Han Cheng turned his neck stiffly and looked at the windlass on the well that was not too far away. After looking at it for a while, he turned his neck stiffly and looked at the shaman in front of him.
That windlass is such a serious and good tool that is beneficial to the tribe!
But why does everything become less serious in the eyes of a witch?
Wu, what are you thinking about every day? How do you associate the windlass with sleepiness and make yourself so excited?
Are you still the shaman who only works for the tribe?
Sure enough, people will change, especially those who have a wife, the change will be faster and more obvious.
For example, a shaman who has lived a happy old life is thinking about something that even a modern man like Han Cheng would find breathtaking and a little embarrassing.
"Witch, this kind of tool doesn't exist, and it can't be made in the tribe."
Han Cheng shook his head and said to Wu, breaking Wu's dream very cruelly.
Wu, who was excited about his idea, immediately lost his excitement after hearing what Han Cheng said.
He looked at Yuan who was looking this way from a distance, and felt that his whole body had lost energy and was exhausted.
Seeing Wu in this state, Han Cheng endured it for a long time but finally couldn't bear it any longer.
As an old man who has lived in a cave for a long time, lived with other people, listened to countless moving ditties, and experienced joyful meetings more than once, don’t you know that this only requires a capable person?
Is that enough?
Wouldn't it be more labor-saving if you just stay still? Isn't this better than any other tool? Why do you have to think about building some weird tool?
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Wu's eyes lit up, and at the same time there was a surge of understanding and regret.
What the Son of God said makes sense! Why didn’t I think of such a simple thing?
"Son of God, awesome!"
Ming Wu came to the witchcraft, expressed heartfelt admiration to Han Cheng, and gave a thumbs up to their divine son.
Han Cheng's face couldn't help but twitch. He had experienced a lot of things in his half life and received a lot of praise, but this time the praise and praise was the last thing he wanted.
Seeing the wizard leaving happily, holding his chest high, holding his head high, and even walking a little swaying, Han Cheng's face couldn't help but twitch again.
I originally thought you were an experienced driver with countless experiences, but I didn’t expect that you are actually a newbie, even worse than a novice like myself...
After the windlass was successfully made, it was not only Wu, the crooked old man, who was excited and excited about it, but the rest of the people were also very happy.
Of course, the happiest people are the minors in the tribe. They always like to gather here when nothing happens, always hoping to seize the opportunity to stir the windlass a few times.
Just like when Han Cheng was a child, he rushed to use a well to press water out.
However, the windlass is different from the well-killing devices of later generations. The wellheads equipped with windlass are sealed, while the wellheads of tribes' wells equipped with windlass are open.
It seems that after the well is drilled, they need to have them make a large manhole cover. When the water is not being pumped, they can cover the well mouth and open it when water is being pumped.
"Out, out water! God, Son of God! There is water in the well!"
While Han Cheng was standing here thinking about these things, an extremely excited shout suddenly sounded from the well.
Hearing this shout, Han Cheng jumped up and ran towards the well.
When I came to the well, I lay down and looked inside. I saw the man digging the well, raising his head and shouting upwards with excitement.
"Is there a lot of water?"
Han Cheng asked aloud, also with some excitement.
"Not much, just got water!"
The man replied.
"Then dig deeper! Dig more!"
Han Cheng raised his voice and said.
Digging deeper will not only make the well spring more prosperous, but more importantly, it will allow more water to be stored in the well.
There is a large population in the tribe, and a lot of water is needed just for daily meals, food shopping, and washing. If the well is dug shallow, Han Cheng is worried that there will not be enough food.
"Okay!"
The man agreed happily, picked up the short-handled copper hoe and began to dig downwards.
After digging like this for a while, he shouted and asked the people above to put down the head of the rafter to load the soil.
"Okay! Pull!"
After filling the mantle 70% full, the man shouted.
The people guarding the well mouth above heard the words and began to stir the windlass. After a while, a pile of soil was pulled up.
Different from the soil pulled up before, the soil pulled up this time seemed wet, with turbid water droplets dripping down the gaps in the rafter head.
The people in the tribe who had not gone out all gathered around after hearing the news, and they all looked extremely excited.
Because this means that their tribe, under the leadership of the Son of God, has accomplished another unprecedented feat!
From now on, in addition to rain, river water and snow water, they have another way to drink water. They can also choose to drink well water!
And unlike rainwater and river water, well water was dug out by myself and others through their own efforts under the guidance of the Son of God!
Just like myself and others, under the guidance of the Son of God, we built houses and walls, moved out of the caves, changed the way of living, opened up fields under the leadership of the Son of God, and planted crops, changing the previous reliance on hunting and gathering to obtain food.
The same way.
In the past, we relied on nature, but now, we and others no longer need to rely on rain and river water, but can obtain water by relying solely on our own strength!
This kind of pride and pride has already led to a better life, and it is not easy for future generations who are accustomed to drinking tap water to appreciate it.
However, as a semi-primitive man who has lived in the primitive era for more than ten years and personally participated in it, Han Cheng can appreciate this kind of happiness and pride.
"Bring a pitcher and get some water to try!"
After digging further and pulling out a few tons of soil, Han Cheng looked a little excited and shouted to the people next to him.
After hearing his instructions, someone immediately ran from here to the kitchen, carrying an empty pitcher and a clay ladle.
Put a ladle with a handle that is not too long into the clay pot, then hang the rope stringing the clay pots on the wooden hook tied to the rope of the windlass, and lower them down.
This time, when lowering it down, I didn't dare to lower it as boldly as I did before. Instead, I held the well rope with my hand empty-handedly and controlled the speed to prevent it from sliding down too fast.
When the pottery jug was about to fall to the bottom of the well, he directly held the well rope to prevent it from going down any further.
The man waiting below caught the dropped water jug with his hand, took it off the hook, took out the ladle, and began to 'scrape' the water at the bottom of the well.
After this period of spring water, and because the well was dug deeper, some water has accumulated below the well.
As the windlass continued to turn, a jar of muddy muddy water appeared in front of everyone.
Han Cheng picked up the ladle and eagerly scooped out half a ladle. He put it aside and waited for the water to become clear. During this process, he seemed a little uneasy.
Because non-professionals who don’t know how to read water veins dig wells, there is a lot of luck involved.
It’s not that water can’t be dug.
As long as you dig deep enough, you can find water even in the desert.
Rather, they worry about whether the dug groundwater is tasty or not.
Groundwater is a very strange thing. Sometimes, the water coming out of two wells no more than ten meters apart will taste completely different.
Some taste good, and some not only taste bad, but also leave a layer of powder when burned in a pot.
It was precisely because he knew this situation that Han Cheng seemed more uneasy.
If the well dug by the tribe smells bad and there is a lot of sediment after it is boiled, he will definitely have it filled up and dig a new well.
After all, this is something closely related to health.
In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, Han Cheng will try his best to avoid things harmful to health.
Water containing too many impurities is obviously harmful to the human body.
Not to mention the rest, kidney stones alone are painful enough once they develop.
Compared with the health of everyone in the tribe, spending more effort is nothing.
Thinking of kidney stones, Han Cheng suddenly remembered an extremely strange post he had seen before traveling through time.
The post is - Did you know? In fact, human beings have never stopped evolving, but they have all been cured by doctors.
Just looking at the post, I don’t think it’s strange at all. The key is that with the divine reply below, everything becomes soulful.
I am a netizen who suddenly realized that the golden elixir in my body was removed by the doctor as a stone!
It's funny, but Han Cheng doesn't care about golden elixirs like stones, and he doesn't want them to appear in his body. This thing is so painful that it can kill people.
During this waiting, the water in the water ladle and the water jar became clear. After waiting for a while, when the water in the water ladle became slightly clearer, Han Cheng finally couldn't wait any longer.
He picked up the muddy water and brought it to his mouth to take a sip.
The well water that has just been extracted from the ground is cool, sweet and tastes great after entering the mouth.
Han Cheng, who had always been a little worried, suddenly felt relieved.
"Son of God, does it taste good?"
Wu and others who gathered around and watched Han Cheng drink water looked at Han Cheng expectantly and asked impatiently.
Han Cheng did not answer everyone's words, but spat out the water in his mouth first.
Seeing such a scene, everyone who was full of expectations couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking.
This water must not be very tasty, otherwise why would the Son of God spit it out?
"It tastes great! It tastes really good! You all have a try!"
Han Cheng spat out the well water in his mouth and enthusiastically praised the taste of the well water to everyone in the tribe.
It seemed that later generations had listened to all kinds of propaganda, and after traveling to a certain scenic spot known as JA, they were greatly disappointed. When they came back, when asked by colleagues, they immediately felt that the trip was worthwhile, and started to talk about it with excitement, telling their colleagues.
It also deceives unscrupulous people who have experienced it in the past.
"Just drink it into your mouth and taste it. Don't swallow it. The water is not clear yet, so you can't drink it yet."
Han Cheng added.
After these words were spoken, the people around who were confused about this suddenly realized.
So that’s it!
Dang even took the ladle that Han Cheng handed over, facing the still somewhat turbid well water, and tasted it one by one.
After tasting the sweetness of the well water, everyone's faces were filled with smiles and they were extremely happy.
After the well in the kitchen produced water, about half a day later, the well next to the animal shed in the outer courtyard also produced water, which excited everyone in the tribe.
Han Cheng, while letting people scrape water out and continue to deepen the well, also asked some people from the tribe to transport stones from the quarry to the tribe.
These stones are used to circle the well after it is completely dug.
The so-called circle well means that after the well is dug, a platform that can support stones, bricks and the like is dug on the wall of the well at a certain distance from the bottom of the well.
The behavior of building up the walls of the well in circles.
A well surrounded by stones can effectively prevent the soil on the well wall from collapsing and extend the service life of the well.
Moreover, it can also keep the well water clean to a certain extent.
Under the guidance of Han Cheng, the son of God who only spoke but did not do anything, the two wells of the Qingque tribe were completely built in four days.
At the top of the wellhead, a large stone slab weighing about seven or eight hundred kilograms was used to suppress it, and the circular wellhead was built into a square shape, and a windlass was placed on top of the wellhead. It looked like that.
"Bring the fish here."
Han Cheng lay on the edge of the well and looked into the well. The water below reflected a small sky and the silhouette of half of his figure.
There is already a lot of water in the well, and you can put fish in it.
After hearing Han Cheng's greeting, the second senior brother came over with a water basin. In the water basin were four carps about a dozen long.
The carp's tail and fins are somewhat reddish in color, and there are beards growing around its mouth.
Han Chenggong reached out and fished out two carp from the basin, grabbed one with each hand, and gently threw them both into the water at the same time.
When the fish comes into contact with the water, it makes some noises and ripples appear in the calm water.
As for the two carps that came into contact with the water again, they just swung their tails and disappeared into the water.
After lying here and watching for a while, Han Chengcheng and his second senior brother carrying a basin went to the well in the outer courtyard and followed the same pattern, putting the remaining two carp in.
Looking at the disappearing carp, Han Cheng had a smile on his face.
Of course, this is not an expectation that a few carps will turn into dragons and become guardians of the tribe in who knows how many years.
But because I remembered the effect of putting carp into the well.
On the one hand, carp living in it can eat insects and some insect eggs produced in the following years, keeping the well water as clean as possible.
On the other hand, carp can be used to judge whether the water quality in the well is bad enough to kill people, and it can also effectively prevent someone from poisoning the well water.
Of course, this standard needs to be measured by the life of a carp.
As for why two fish were put in instead of just one, it was because they were worried that a fish would have some accidents and might die. One more fish would provide more insurance.
In addition, a fish living in a well is too lonely and prone to depression and isolation. How can two fish live happily together?
Of course, as for whether the two carp that were put into the well together were one male and one female, or two fish of the same gender, Han Chengcheng did not think too much about such details...
While Han Cheng was squatting by the well looking at the well where the carp was put and smiling, the team headed north by the Qingque Tribe, headed by the senior brother, finally reached the force belonging to the Black Stone Tribe Alliance after marching a long distance.
