The more people marveled, looking at the giant arm that was pulled over by Danzhu, and Yuzai was even more shocked. Danzhu's production cycle was much shorter this time, and it seemed that he had completed it alone?
Because the carpenters in Mangmanzhiye are busy debugging the bed crossbow, generally speaking, they would not do this with Danzhu...
"Don't be surprised, this is just a...'test machine'."
Danzhu explained to Yu Zai, the great wizard and others: "The strength of this thing may not be as good as you think, because these materials were temporarily cut down and sawed by me. As we all know, things made in a hurry are not very good. I just want to get a prototype out as quickly as possible and try it out to see if it works."
The treadwheel crane is an important engineering instrument in the classical era. Although the structure is simpler than the jib cranes of later generations, as Danzhu said, simplicity is simplicity, but it cannot be rushed out.
Ever since Danzhu was unlocked the "gear" talent by Concubine, he has been running wildly on this road and can never look back.
Of course, gears do not mean that they can be put into use immediately after being made. Wooden gears are severely worn, including a series of rotating wooden machinery such as winches. Therefore, how to select wood is a major specialty of carpenters.
The dark circles under Danzhu's eyes could tell that he was tired during this period. At this time, he was greeting the southern soldiers at the dock and began to test this thing for the first time.
The cargo on the big ship was lifted by a crane. This was just a simple test. Among the materials transported by the Yue people, only a few were particularly large wooden boxes. The ancient Yue people in the Shanhai Age had a developed handicraft industry and similar things like boxes It has been invented a long time ago, but it is not called that in their mouths.
To put it bluntly, this is just a container for carrying goods. People use ceramic products not because wood products are prone to mold.
However, pottery cannot be transported on long voyages as it is easily broken, so wooden boxes are the best thing to carry cargo.
The giant arm lifted the wooden box up, and the huge, heavy hemp rope twisted with the wheel. People had never seen such a big treasure before, and they all exclaimed, as if they were seeing a rare animal. , pointing at this thing.
“Is there such a thing in the South now?”
"The treadwheel crane is a great thing!"
The leader of the Yue people could see the importance of this thing at a glance. If excellent materials are used for casting, the weight of the goods that can be hoisted will also be greatly improved, which will be beneficial to the development and construction of the tribe and various freight trades. , is a great help.
Cranes were also called "cranes" in ancient China.
"Can I add some weight?"
Danzhu decided to give it another try, but beside him, Juan Zai said, "Didn't you say that this is not a good material? Ah Hong, let's talk about the test later. What if this breaks?"
Danzhu was unhappy, thinking that although this was a rush job, the quality was still guaranteed, but he also thought about it, people risked the danger of rolling rivers and came all the way to deliver the goods. One by one, if the weight is exceeded accidentally, something breaks, and the goods are damaged. It's hard to explain.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you..."
Danzhu took another breath, after all, the overall situation was the most important thing.
But the leader of the Yue people felt a little disappointed. He still wanted to see this thing continue to be hoisted!
But soon, the leader of the Yue people, the Shenyun-level warrior, said: "Can I buy this thing?"
"purchase?"
Danzhu gave him a disdainful look: "It's very expensive!"
"Bei Pen is not a problem! You give me a price, and I will order one now. When the war against Sanmiao here is over, we will put this thing on a big ship and ship it back."
The great warrior said directly, "Don't negotiate the price with me. It's not a problem that can be solved with money!"
The more money you get!
This is indeed the case, because Wuyue District has developed handicrafts and shipbuilding industries, and ships from Yue are sold to overseas countries through maritime channels. At the same time, Susha's salt industry is also famous throughout the mountains and seas, relying on salt and ships, as well as retail pottery, Handmade products, jade carvings, bronze weapons... It is no exaggeration to say that the land of Wuyue was very rich at this time.
Among the Baiyue, the poorer ones are Luo Yue, Xiou, and Nanyue. These are the three major Yue tribes among the Baiyue that are distributed in the wilderness of Lingnan. Among them, Luo Yue is good at making jade and stone tools, while Xiou is good at making ivory, Rhinoceros horns, green hair, cinnamon, fragrant wood and other "luxury goods", but there were also ivory and rhinoceros horns in the Central Plains during the Shanhai Age, so Xiou was still a fishing and hunting society at this time, and it was extremely poor.
The development of South Vietnam is also very slow. It is famous for its pottery and crystal...
"Big brother, what can't be negotiated with BeiPeng? Let me tell you, this thing is a good thing. How about I give you some treasures and you set a price..."
The leader of the Yue people tried to bribe Danzhu, but Danzhu glanced at Yuzai.
"Sell, you can sell!"
Yuzai: "But we have to wait until the Sanmiao war is over, and..."
The leader of the Yue people was immediately overjoyed: "It's not a problem!"
As a result, before the battle began, trade negotiations had already been completed. In the next few days, warships from Baiyue arrived one after another. Compared with the first large ship, the second batch of arriving ships was much larger. Much smaller.
But this time, ten warships came.
When the Yue people stood on the ancient boat and saw the new pier on the edge of the river, they saw the tall and stretched arm holding up the sky. The ancient and the real were intertwined. For a moment, it seemed that There is an eternal ignorance that is broken, and the dawn of a new civilization points to the sky along that giant arm.
"Here we are."
The third and fourth batch of warships arrived at the dock, and the huge dock suddenly became more alive.
The newly arrived Vietnamese people began to carry supplies, and at the same time they saw the carts and cranes. While sighing at the prosperity of the south, they began to start a salt and soil business. On the same day, on the other side of the distant river, a huge horn sounded.
Roaring and shaking, it also sounded like the cry of a fox...
It was a huge warship, and it seemed that it had been built for a long time. The river water was lapping at it, and the body of the big ship exuded bursts of power and aura unique to deification, telling the angry river water not to waste their efforts.
This is a ship built by Shenmu!
"Are you from Dongyi?"
Dongyi's first warship appeared when Baiyue's second wave of fleet arrived.
This speed is not too slow.
During this period, Yu Zai bought a piece of crystal from a Yue man. After a lot of troublesome polishing, he managed to turn it into a telescope.
Early telescopes, before the Age of Discovery, were made of natural crystal.
Yuzai saw that Dongyi's large ship had a huge totem on it, and what was written on it were two words that would be passed down throughout the ages.
"Tushan!"
