Chapter 33 Pipeline
When these stone axes were made, Tongshu and the others also happened to come back from the mountain.
When he came back this time, Tongshu and the others brought back a few guys with hard shells on their backs. These guys looked like turtles, but their hands and feet looked like monkeys.
He shouted the tung tree and took a stone axe to him.
Seeing Wang Wei making so many stone axes in this short period of time, Tong Shu was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.
"Wang Wei, didn't you say that stone axes are difficult to make? Why did you do so much so quickly?" Tongshu asked in surprise.
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "These stone axes are different from what I gave you at the beginning. These stone axes are not used to cut trees, but are used as disposable weapons. If they are not made strong, they can also be found casually. You use these stone axes to smash the big tree here to see if you can hit it."
After listening to Wang Wei's explanation, Tongshu suddenly realized.
I took the stone axe and looked at it. It turned out that this thing was not as exquisite as the stone axe that Wang Wei gave him.
The stone axe, the wood, sandwiched the stone in the middle, and there were many ropes wrapped around it, and the axe blade was sharply polished. I cut so many trees myself, but the stone axe was not loosened a little.
This stone axe looks like a stone axe, but it is actually just a wooden stick with a stone tied with a straw rope outside.
Such a simple way, even if you read it yourself, you will learn it immediately. No wonder you do it so quickly.
After weighing the stone axe in his hand twice, the tung tree aimed at the big tree in the distance and threw the stone axe out.
With a "bang", the tung tree felt good, and the stone axe hit the big tree accurately.
However, because of the strong force, the stone axe was smashed directly, and some of the stones were embedded in the tree trunks, while the rest were scattered on the ground.
"Wow! Wang Wei's this is very useful. It's just a stone and a wooden stick. Why do I feel that it's much easier than throwing a stone?" Tongshu said in surprise.
Wang Wei smiled and explained: "The reason is very simple. The stone axe has one more axe handle than a simple stone, and the axe handle is equivalent to the extension of your arm. The same action of throwing things, with more axe handles, the stone is equivalent to moving a distance in the air. Both inertia and kinetic energy have been greatly improved. In addition, the auxiliary bonus of the leverage principle makes the stone axe throwing have a result of twice the result with half the effort compared to simply throwing stones. Do you understand?"
Tung Tree: "..."
"Shock Points from Tung Tree +32"
"Haha, this stone axe is very useful. Next time the brown cat comes, I will kill them if there is this thing!" Tongshu forcedly reversed the topic.
Wang Wei nodded and said, "That's right, compared to the wooden spear, the method of making this one-time thrown stone axe is much simpler. The practice is less difficult and the combat power can be achieved quickly. The most important thing is that even in the cave, as long as there is faint light, it can form an artificial assembly line for stone axes. In one or two days, a large number of stone axes can be made. So, in order to see the brown cats come again next time, we have the ability to chase them. You have to let the tribe members idle in the cave draw out some of them to make stone axes."
Tongshu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wang Wei, what is the assembly line?"
"Well, assembly line refers to a quasi-parallel processing implementation technology in which multiple instructions overlap when the program is executed. If applied to the production of a stone axe, it is to divide the person into several groups. One group specifically looks for stones outside, then transport them back to the designated location, and another group specifically breaks them, and then finds the stones suitable for making the stone axe from it. Then another group of people are responsible for the processing of the axe handle. From these woods, find wood of the right thickness to make the axe handle. After the selected axe handle and the stones are transported back to the cave, the cave is divided into three groups, and one group specifically rubs the straw rope.
Another group of people specially paired the axe handle and the axe, and then subdivided it into one piece, and sent it to the last group of people. They are responsible for finally tiering the stone and wood together with a straw rope to form a stone axe. From finding stones, gravel, picking stones, taking the axe handle, rubbing the straw rope to finally making the stone axe, I call it the assembly line production process. In this way, as long as the number of people in each group is allocated reasonably and after running in, the maximum work efficiency can be achieved. The stone axe will be produced in two or three days, and maybe we can use it in half a month." Wang Wei explained.
"Shock points from the tung tree +66, +66, +66..."
Tongshu was stunned by the hearing, and after a long time he spoke, "Although I don't fully understand, I feel so powerful. Wang Wei, tell me again, otherwise I won't understand how to arrange it."
Wang Wei also explained in detail the establishment of the stone axe production line to Tongshu.
Without materials to make bows and arrows in large quantities, long-range throwing weapons are nothing more than javelins, darts, stone axes and hammers.
Of course, the stone axe is just a name. You have to tie a cylindrical stone on the front of the wood, and it is no problem to say that it is a stone hammer.
The main reason why I chose the stone axe over the rest is that the stone axe is quick to get started and the production is simple.
If you make a javelin, not to mention the difficulty of throwing, just making it will be very troublesome.
Without tools, just grinding the tip of the gun head will make people feel devastated.
Therefore, with the current conditions, it is impossible to mass produce the javelin.
When there is insufficient number of techniques and no time to practice, it is difficult for javelin to form lethality.
As for the hammer ball, although it is very simple to make, it only takes a straw rope to tie the stone.
However, the technical requirements of hammer balls are higher than those of javelins.
When dealing with a single target, use a hammer to hit it. Without a lot of training, you can only rely on your face.
Even if you form a quantitative advantage, you may not be able to form combat effectiveness.
After all, without practice, you will not be able to predict the direction of the ball after you take off your hand, and it is normal to accidentally get injured.
As for the stone axe, it is not difficult to produce, with sufficient raw materials, easy to use and easy to carry.
If you tie it around your waist in strings, it would not be a problem for Tongshu and the others to carry twenty of them.
Therefore, no matter from any aspect, throwing a stone axe is currently the best choice for long-range weapons.
After talking to Tongshu for a long time, Tongshu finally understood every step of the stone axe production line.
While talking about the new term production line, Tongshu went to arrange the production line.
The fur of the brown cats that were killed just now was peeled off by the tribe members as soon as possible.
Even this bloody animal skin was like a treasure, and after some competition, they finally decided to win the winner.
Two strong men finally divided the skins and dug several holes to tie them with straw ropes. Although there were still large areas of skin exposed, they were much warmer than their original state.
In addition to Wang Wei, there are a total of ten adult men in the tribe, and now, nine of them have animal leather jackets.
Although the blood of the tribe who was injured in the siege of the brown cat today was stopped in time, in order to avoid the wound being cracked, it was impossible to perform too intense exercise in a short period of time.
In order to take care of his injuries, Tongshu handed him over the making of the axe handle.
From yesterday to today, Tongshu and the other three cut down trees for almost a day and a half.
After humans work hard, they are extremely efficient.
In less than two days, the wood that the three of them cut back was as high as a hill.
However, most of the woods were covered with frozen leaves, and the small branches on the trunks were not knocked off.
The injured tribe member sat in a pile of wood, picked out the wood of appropriate thickness, then cut it to the same length with a stone axe, then put it aside, waiting for someone to take it away.
After a while, Pinecone also ran over and chopped the handle of the axe with him.
There was no way. When the assembly line was initially established, the tung tree found that the production of the axe handle could not keep up with the progress.
Although the wood used to make the axe handle is not thick, the material for cutting is a stone axe after all, and the sharpness cannot keep up.
After cutting several cuts, it will be possible to break it, and the progress will naturally slow down.
As a result, after the pine cones came, the axe handle was still not available, but at this time there were no stone axes that could cut down trees.
