"Crack!"
Following the last rim, Yan Hu forcefully inserted it into the spokes.
A round wooden wheel appeared in front of everyone.
"alright!"
Yang Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The wheel is ready!"
I have to say that the appearance of wooden wheels is a bit shocking.
Half a man tall, with a round appearance and regularly arranged spokes, it is rough and majestic.
Yanhu and the others were immediately shocked.
The witch has been working on this for the past few days, and it turns out he is working on this thing.
This, this is so pretty, isn’t it?
The appearance of the wheel instantly made Yanhu and the others forget their purpose of coming here.
Yanhu asked excitedly: "Witch, is this the wheel?"
Yang Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the wheel!"
Hongya asked: "Witch, Wu, this thing called a wheel is so beautiful!"
Yang Cheng smiled and said nothing.
Cangshi was a little more steady. Although there was excitement on his face, he was also confused: "Witch, what is this wheel used for?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.
Yes, this thing called a "wheel" looks good, but what can it be used for?
Like a net, used to deal with ferocious beasts?
But how to deal with ferocious beasts? It's not okay to make a trap.
If it's not used to deal with ferocious beasts, is it used for food, drink, and clothing?
This...this doesn't seem right. This is made of wood, so it must not be used for food, drink or clothing.
Everyone couldn't figure it out, so they all focused on Yang Cheng, waiting for his answer.
Yang Cheng chuckled and said, "Hey, didn't I tell you before? This is used to save the expedition team's time in the wilderness."
"Saving time, that's all?"
Yanhu and others were surprised.
Especially for Mai, a few days ago, Yang Chengcheng said that he would come up with something that would allow the expedition team not only to save time, but also to save energy.
Mai thought that maybe the witch had done some witchcraft again, or that he had bound some ferocious beast, such as the flying one.
Mai thought of many things that could save time and energy, but he never thought of anything made of wood.
"Wu, you want to use it?"
Mai's eyes widened, then he got close to the wheel, looked left and right at the wheel, and almost put his face directly on it.
"Okay, okay." Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mai, stop looking, you can't see it like this."
Mai raised her head and looked at Yang Cheng doubtfully.
Yang Cheng explained: "One wheel won't work, we need two. You happen to be here, so get to work and help."
After saying that, Yang Cheng directed everyone to continue making wheels.
With the experience of making the first wheel, it will be much faster to make the second wheel.
Yang Cheng asked Lulu to teach Yanhu and the others, and he redrawn the rim model and refined it in detail.
When installing the rim just now, Yang Chengcheng discovered that the scale of the rim was still a little wrong, and some subtleties were too much.
After Yang Cheng finished drawing the model diagram of the wheel rim, he turned around and took a look.
Oh, Yan Hu and the others moved fast enough.
At this time, the hub has been made and the spokes have already been made.
However, Yang Cheng still planned to speed up a bit. He asked Yan Lin and Xing, who were watching eagerly, to look at the wood and figure out the general shape of the rim first.
Yanlin and Xing seemed to know that they were disliked for their "clumsyness", so they worked very seriously and made the preliminary rims, which were very detailed and did not require much trimming until they were almost ready for use.
In response, Lulu gave Yan Lin and Xing an unexpected look.
Yan Lin and Xing didn't care about Lulu's surprise. After finishing making the rim, they looked at Yang Cheng eagerly, and then received Yang Cheng's approving look.
The two beast-eared girls were like puppies, jumping up and down, as happy as if they had eaten honey.
Compared with other people's appreciation, the appreciation given to them by witches is much more important in their hearts.
If everyone works together, they can break the metal.
The first wheel took three or four days, and the second wheel just took an afternoon.
The second wheel was successfully made before the sun set.
After both wheels are successfully produced.
Everyone looked at Yang Cheng again, with curious expressions on their faces, wanting to know how Wu turned the wheel into something that could save time and energy.
Yang Cheng did not immediately connect the hubs of the two wheels with wood.
Instead, he took a piece of rough animal skin and polished it on the wheel. This was to make the surface of the wheel smooth and make it rotate more smoothly.
Usually, when one wheel is finished, the other wheel will be processed directly without polishing. When both wheels have been processed to this step, polishing will begin at the same time.
This is to prevent inconsistent wheel sizes.
However, even though they are polished at the same time, one is polished first.
After Yang Cheng polished the first wheel, he used a rope to measure the circumference of its outer wheel, and then polished the other wheel according to the measured size.
This way you can try to make both wheels the same size and about the same roundness.
Otherwise, the wheels will not run smoothly and will break down soon.
"Okay, bring over the prepared wood." Yang Cheng said to Yan Lin.
Yan Lin nodded and immediately ran to the side, carrying a piece of wood that was one meter and a half long and thirty centimeters thick.
Under Yang Cheng's command, Yan Lin carefully inserted one end of the wood into the hub of a wheel, leaving a mortise and tenon structure at both ends of the wood.
After this section is inserted, the junction between the wood and the wheel hub is exactly the mortise and tenon structure.
After fixing the wood with the mortise and tenon structure, use the same method to fix the other end of the wood.
In this way, a cart base composed of two wheels and one piece of wood appeared.
The wheels have all been produced to this stage.
Yanhu and the others don't have any imagination yet, so it's a waste of the time Yang Cheng has spent cultivating their independent thinking abilities!
"Witch, that's it!" Mai cheered in surprise: "I understand, as long as a wooden raft is placed between these two wheels, things can be transported!"
Mai was so excited when she said it that she did what she thought of. It took her a long time to find a wooden raft.
The raft he found was just right and could be placed directly on the stick between the two wheels.
After placing it, Mai gently pushed the raft. Under the force of the force, the wheels rolled slowly, taking the raft forward.
The others saw this with smiles on their faces.
Yanhu and the others all have life experience, and they know that it is much easier to put the raft on the wheels than to drag the raft directly!
