Chapter 283 Wooden cows flow horses!(1/2)
What was drawn on the paper was something that the soldier had never seen before.
Although I have never seen it before, I am somewhat familiar with it.
Combined with what the emperor's uncle said just now, he was basically certain that this rather weird thing should be a car.
However, unlike the cars we have seen in our stereotypes, this car only has one wheel!
Moreover, for carts pulled by animals, there will be a crossbar or something like leather at the top of the two shafts to connect the two shafts.
The connecting crossbar and the like are placed on the neck of the cow or the waist of the horse.
The weight of the ox cart or horse carriage rests on this.
However, on the paper given by the emperor's uncle, there was no connection between the two shafts in the pattern drawn on it!
There is something painted on the rear end of this weird car, just above the wheel.
This thing has two curved corners on it.
It is the image of a bull's head.
By this time, the soldier had discovered that the emperor's uncle had given him more than just a piece of paper.
Now, take away the first piece of paper and look at the second piece of paper.
I found that the pattern drawn on the following piece of paper was very similar to the pattern drawn on the first piece of paper. They were both a weird one-wheeled car.
The difference is that this weird car looks much narrower than the one above.
Moreover, what is carved on the rear end of the car is no longer an ox head, but a horse head.
Seeing this, the soldier suddenly realized something with some surprise and uncertainty.
There are no crossbars left for pulling the cart on this strange cart. Obviously, oxen and horses cannot be used to pull the cart.
However, on the rear end of the car, the heads of cows and horses were carved.
Could it be that the emperor's uncle was planning to let the carved bull and horse heads pull the cart?
People use two carriage shafts to control the direction?
Thinking back again, the person standing in front of you is a being who can make the turtles dream and send them concrete magic cubes!
At this time, it is also very reasonable to give a good method to pull the car without human or animal power, and only need the heads of oxen and horses carved on the car.
When he thought of this, the carpenter named Zhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
The heartbeat is surging.
"How about it? Can you make it?"
Liu Cheng stood here and waited for a while. When he saw that the man was silent, he asked.
"It should be about the same.
The little man looks at this cart, it's not as complicated as a donkey cart.
The size and structure of these were also drawn on the paper by the emperor's uncle, who drew them very clearly.
It’s not that difficult to make.”
"That's good."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Uncle Emperor, I saw that there is no crossbar connecting the two shafts of this cart. Could it be that this cart does not need animals to pull it?"
When Liu Cheng heard this, his smile became even bigger.
I didn't expect that the soldier in front of me, who was skilled in carpenter skills, would observe so carefully.
Just by looking at the drawings I gave him, I can tell that this car does not need to be pulled by animals.
"Indeed."
Liu Cheng nodded in affirmation.
Hearing what Liu Cheng said, the carpenter named Zhao became even more excited, and his voice could not help but tremble.
"Young man, if you dare, please ask your uncle.
Could this, this kind of car be carried on the back of a divine turtle?"
Liu Cheng obviously did not expect that the soldier named Zhao and Zhao Gang would actually ask such a question.
I wanted to deny it, but then I thought that my body was born as a butcher, and I didn't know how to do carpentry.
Moreover, such a thing as a wheelbarrow did not appear at this time.
It's always not good to take out the drawings like this.
He nodded immediately, acquiescing to this matter.
Anyway, the Divine Turtle has already carried out the method of making cement from the Yellow River.
Now that there is another drawing of a unicycle, it is not impossible.
Seeing Liu Cheng nodding, Zhao Gang became even more excited.
The other carpenters were equally excited and looked at Liu Cheng with bright eyes.
Not only them, but also Zhao Yun, who was following Liu Cheng, looked at Liu Cheng with bright eyes at this time.
What the turtle is carrying!
This kind of thing full of magical colors is the most eye-catching.
Now, just like this, Zhao Gang, Zhao Yun and others appeared in front of him. How could Zhao Gang, Zhao Yun and others not be excited?
After getting confirmation from Liu Cheng, Zhao Gang couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
He became even more certain about the miraculous yet extremely bold guess in his heart!
"Huang, uncle Huang, this, this cart doesn't need to be pulled by animals, right? Is it pulled by these two things?
People only need to hold the shaft of the car to control the direction?"
Zhao Gang said this and pointed his finger at the horse head drawn on the paper.
The hands holding the drawings were trembling.
After Liu Cheng understood what Zhao Gang meant, his eyes could not help but widen.
Many people say that the imagination of the ancients was not rich enough.
Now it seems that this sentence is completely wrong.
How can this imagination not be rich?
It’s so rich!
I made the cow head and the horse head on the wheelbarrow because I thought of the two artifacts specially made by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang out of Qishan in history to transport grain and grass, which were suitable for traveling on the Shu Road.
A wooden cow and a stray horse, Liu Cheng did not have the ability to create them.
Using wood to create a self-propelled wooden cow or horse was an unachievable task for Liu Cheng and even for future generations.
Because there is simply no way to solve the power problem.
A wooden cow or a stray horse cannot be made, but it is not a problem to make a sharp tool like a wheelbarrow that can be pushed along rugged trails.
After all, something like a unicycle is much easier to make.
However, in order to satisfy his bad taste, Liu Chengcheng painted a cow's head and a horse's head on the wheelbarrow.
Pretending to be a wooden cow or a stray horse.
However, this is not all Liu Cheng's bad taste.
Bull heads and horse heads, in addition to decoration, also have other functions.
When encountering an uphill slope or a particularly rough and difficult road, the old man pushing the cart behind...
Ah...no!
When the soldiers behind the wheelbarrow are tired, sweaty, exhausted, and unable to push the wheelbarrow, someone can come to the front of the wheelbarrow.
This problem can be solved by tying the rope to the head of a cow or a horse and pulling it from the front.
If you spend some more effort, you can also make the tongue on the head of a cow or a horse into a movable one.
The back of the tongue is connected to the braking device.
When you turn the tongue to one side, you can activate the brakes and stop the unicycle to stop it from moving.
It can't be pushed even if someone pushes from behind.
This is very similar to the wooden cow and flowing horse created by Prime Minister Zhuge in the novel.
However, Liu Cheng did not add this device to the wheelbarrow at this time.
It's really unnecessary.
Moreover, this is too much trouble.
To be continued...
