The one who digs the hole then digs the hole, the one who picks up the wood picks up the wood.
Seeing that the hunting team was struggling to pick up half of the wood, Chen Chao sighed. There was no way. Recently, the fuel needed by the tribe has risen linearly. It is difficult to meet the demand by picking up the wood on the ground near the tribe.
I still have to get a stone axe!
After searching the database, Chen Chao found four methods for making stone axes.
The first is to make a hole in the stone and insert the axe handle in it. (No, I can't do it yet, Chen Chao shook his head.)
The second is to tie the stone axe directly to the wooden stick. This approach is the simplest, but it is also the least durable. (No, not durable, Chen Chao shook his head.)
The third method is to slightly polish the middle of the suitable stone so that the middle of the stone is slightly narrower than the sides.
Then split one end of the axe handle from the middle, clamp the narrow part between the stones with wood, and finally wrap it tightly with straw rope to prevent it from falling off.
To be precise, there is a groove in the middle of the wood, and the stone axe can be inserted directly. (Yes, you can split the wood with a stone, but it is more difficult and you need to find something to fix it, after all, the wood will roll. And depending on the intensity of use, the wood may split directly. Chen Chao considers)
For the four types, first find a suitable stone, and then use other stones to knock out the desired shape as an axe, which is equivalent to cutting a blade.
The axe handle is burned through the wooden handle with hot coal, and the handle holes are finely polished with hot coal according to the selected stone shape. (Yes, it seems more feasible, but it is more troublesome to polish the handle holes, but you can directly place the stone axe on the wood, and then use pottery to mark the shape on the wood, so there is no technical difficulty. Chen Chao considers)
Finally, Chen Chao decided to try the third and fourth methods and make a sample each.
Just do it, know the result and then reverse the process. In fact, it's relatively easy. The rest is water milling.
At present, it is still in the stage of making stone axes. There is no difference between the two methods of axe, mainly because of the difference in the production of the axe handle.
When making an axe, one stone is constantly used to hit another stone to create the desired axe shape.
The production of the first axe handle encountered a problem, because the choice was to directly split the middle of the axe handle with a stone, and I also found something to fix it, and finally it was successfully split.
But it was opened too far, and the crack went straight from the hitting point to the top of the wood...Chen Chao (⊙_⊙) sitting aside thinking about life~~
If the third method causes the wood to crack directly, it does not rule out that the axe handle made by the fourth method will encounter this problem after using it many times.
He observed it, could it be because of the texture of the wood? Because it is a straight texture?
After re-selecting a piece of wood that was not straight-grained, Chen Chao struck the axe handle again. Sure enough, there was no direct crack this time.
The finished axe was stuck directly into the axe handle, before the handle of the axe had not reacted, hurriedly wrapped the vines crazily.
And this time the handle of the axe is finally very powerful, not cracking the sky. It also makes people feel very strong after wrapping the vines. If you want to mass-produce it later, you can consider changing the vines to straw ropes, and the effect is expected to be better.
The production of the fourth type of axe handle is much smoother, probably because of the replacement of the material, and there is no cracking of the axe handle.
But after using it several times, the handle of the axe still cracked.
Chen Chao sitting aside and thinking about life again (⊙_⊙)
The texture problem of the wood is ruled out. What is the reason for this time? Is it still too stuck? But don’t you just swipe the axe to fly out without getting stuck? Don't we have to use straw rope to reinforce one more circle?
But this is also a direction. Chen Chao's texture along the pottery slice burned a little bit more this time, but he kept a mind, and did not expand up and down. The left and right expanded slightly to make the left and right sides of the axe. Can transmit light slightly.
Sure enough, the stone axe with this handle would not fly out and the handle would not crack.
Chen Chao concluded that both methods can be used. The precaution of the third method is that this precaution is also common to the fourth, that is: it is best not to use straight-grained wood, because straight-grained wood is easier split.
This is the fourth additional note: the axe should not be too deadly to get stuck with the handle. You should see the light from the left and right sides of the axe, otherwise the handle will easily crack.
After the hunting team members dug up the lynx leather pool, Chen Chao also returned to the tribe with two samples of his new stone axe.
Looking at the width and depth of the pond, the hunting team members basically dug according to the range they painted, and the depth is only shallow. The quality of the pond excavation is very good, and it is probably the reason why Yuan took the lead early in the morning.
Yuan was very concerned about animal skin production. He got up early in the morning to dig pits with the eight people yesterday. With the hard work of nine adult men, the two hours last night plus the morning of today A large hole about two meters in diameter was dug.
‘I’m not working without tools. Digging a hole can kill people. Chen Chao thought secretly in his heart.
But these things must be put aside, first do the immediate things well. Although the pond is ready, it is a pit dug directly after all. If the pool wall is not waterproofed, the water quality will be too turbid if water is directly injected.
Although there was no problem with the two pieces before, they were experimental products after all, and the quantity was small. Now that we plan to produce nitrate in large quantities, we have to be stricter, because when there is a problem, dozens of lynx skins have problems together.
In consideration of all aspects, Chen Chao still intends to be stricter.
So he took the hunting team members to the woods in front of the tribe, pointed to a tree next to him, and then gestured his head, which meant that every piece of wood that was to be felled had a human head as thick as possible.
The members of the hunting team? ? ?
The slingshot prince who always follows Chen Chao when hunting is strong? ? ?
One-eyed with a muddy hand? ? ?
At this moment, they just feel that your majesty, concubines can't do it! ! !
It's hard to be a strong man! ! !
Even Yuan's face is awkward, and other people can't directly raise objections, but he can still say a few words.
So he waved his hand at Chen Chao again and again, with a look of great fright. "What can't be done can't be done."
Chen Chao saw that he was so scared that he could speak smooth sentences, and he was amused secretly. But also, they must be thinking that who can pull out trees with such thick heads?
