Chapter 82 The advent of wooden carts


Chapter 82 The advent of the wooden cart

The grinding and production of the key parts of the wooden cart can be mastered slowly through a lot of practice.

But the time required during this period may be far beyond Zhou Xu's expectation.

As a large tribe with more than a hundred members, their equipment department has a heavy burden.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the daily wear and tear of various stone tools.

Especially for the logging team, after their leader gave the order, the wear rate of the stone ax must have been greatly increased.

In contrast, the workload of their equipment department in polishing and manufacturing stone axes will inevitably increase accordingly.

In this case, let the equipment department allocate manpower and spend a lot of time learning from Zhuang Mengdie how to polish and make the key parts of the wooden cart?

That will definitely have an impact on the entire tribe.

In the final analysis, the manpower is still not enough. If the tribe has more manpower, then he can randomly arrange a group of five people to follow Zhuang Mengdie and be responsible for the polishing and production of wooden carts.

And now...

After some thought, Zhou Xu said...

“Let’s do this, you choose two novices from the department to be your apprentices and learn how to polish wooden carts. Key parts. "

He will definitely have more things in the future that need Zhuang Mengdie to develop and produce. It is impossible for her to focus on polishing the parts of the wooden cart.

This move made many people in the equipment department feel strange. Only Zhuang Mengdie remained calm as usual.

After thinking about it for a moment, she quickly understood their leader's intention.

Polishing the key parts of the wooden cart can be said to be the most difficult project in their equipment department at present.

Under this premise, even if we recruit veterans within the department, their improvement speed will probably not be much higher than that of novices.

However, transferring veterans will have an impact on the polishing and manufacturing of other equipment in the equipment department that cannot be ignored.

In this case, it is better to transfer newbies who have less impact on the efficiency of the department.

After arranging this matter, Zhou Xu quickly turned his attention back to the completed wooden cart.

Then he took matters into his own hands and wrapped a braided bark rope as wide as his wrist around the two handles of the wooden cart.

Everyone in the tribe looked at this operation with strange expressions.

Only Zhuang Mengdie standing aside, his eyes lit up after he realized something.

At this moment, the logging team just needed to transport the wood. Zhou Xu directly instructed them to pile the wood onto the wooden cart and secure it with bark ropes.

"It's up to you, you pull the cart."

The member of the logging team whose name was called by Zhou Xu perked up and ran out quickly as if there was something good going on.

Following the instructions of their leader, the member of the logging team held the handle with one hand and used the structure of the wheel to lift the handle relatively easily and push the wooden cart to move amid the exclamations of everyone. .

The shock of the logging team members was unexpected by Zhou Xu.

You must know that the weight of a big tree trunk, even if it is properly called two or three sections, is still extremely heavy.

Depending on the specific situation, the logging team will need two people to work together to carry it back to the camp.

At this moment, there are eight trunks of a big tree like that on the wooden cart!

What does this mean? This means that that team member can now do what it took sixteen people to do alone! How could this not shock them?

For Zhou Xu, this test is undoubtedly just the beginning.

Since you want to test, just test it to the end.

"Now, just pull this cart of wood back to the camp."

"Yes!"

In response, the team member didn't waste any time and pulled it. The cart of lumber started moving.

The forest where the logging team usually works is still some distance away from the Black Moon Camp. Halfway there, the team member's breath became obviously urgent.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu signaled the other party to put down the wooden cart first and take a breath.

When the other party was breathing well and ready to start working again, Zhou Xu stepped forward in two steps, lifted the braided bark rope tied to the handle, and asked the team member to carry it on his shoulders.

After that, he started to pull the wooden cart forward just like before, and it was at that moment that he was completely stunned.

"How, how is it possible?"

While saying this, the pace of the team member began to accelerate, and in the end, it even entered a trotting state. .

Everyone who came with him, including Zhuang Mengdie who made this wooden cart, were stunned on the spot.

Not to mention them, even the team member who was involved was stunned. After stopping, although he took a few breaths, his strength basically did not recover.

At the same time, let alone now, even at the beginning, he couldn't bear to pull this wooden cart and run like this!

Only Zhou Xu was smiling the whole time, obviously he had expected this situation.

Without the previous experience of pulling a cart with two hands, the feeling now would not be so obvious.

In the past, wooden carts were moved purely by pushing and pulling with two arms holding two handles.

Although the existence of wheels has made the transportation work much easier, in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is still not labor-saving enough.

But once the bark rope is wrapped around, the situation is different.

While using two hands to pull the two handles respectively, the bark rope carried on the shoulders also allows them to make full use of the strength of their shoulders and even the strength of the entire body to move more easily Pull the wooden cart.

However, this state did not last long. It is not that the team member was completely exhausted after running for a few steps, but because the land in the wild was uneven after all, and the car bumped. The team member who was running to pull the cart in front was quickly knocked to the ground.

But this fall did not affect the excitement of the team member at all. After getting up from the ground, he still looked excited.

It is completely unimaginable that I can do this.

In the next few days, the wooden cart was temporarily handed over to the logging team for use.

In order to ensure safety during this period, two people were arranged for each timber transportation, one pulling in the front and one pushing in the back. This not only further increased the transportation efficiency, but also improved the stability of the transportation.

Because the transportation efficiency of wood has been greatly improved, the logging team can devote more manpower and time to felling trees, which has also greatly improved the efficiency of wood acquisition.

The benefits brought to them by just one wooden cart are already visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, in the past few days, in order to make Juma, the equipment department also stopped part of the work and allocated enough manpower to help them process the wood. All work was in full swing. in progress.

An update is here, thanks to book friends ‘Elio’ and ‘Fengyeyege’ for their tips!
