I really don't want to be a system

Chen Chao got up early in the morning, because the pit for tanning the lynx skin yesterday hadn't been dug yet, and because another batch of pottery had to be fired today, the hunting team didn't go out.

Those who should dig pits will dig pits, and those who should pick up wood will pick up wood.

Seeing that the hunting team had only collected half of the wood with great difficulty, Chen Chao sighed. There is no way, the fuel demand of the tribe has been rising in a straight line recently, and it is difficult to meet the demand just by picking up the wood near the tribe.

Still have to get a stone axe!
After searching in the database, Chen Chao found four methods of making stone axes.

The first is to make a hole in the stone and insert the handle of the ax into it. (No, it can’t be done yet, Super Chen shook his head.)
The second is to tie the stone ax directly to the wooden stick.This approach is the easiest, but at the same time the least durable. (No, not durable, Chao Chen shook his head.)
The third method is to grind the middle of the suitable stone slightly so that the middle of the stone is slightly narrower than the sides.

Then split one end of the handle of the ax from the middle, clamp the slightly narrow place in the middle of the stone with wood, and finally wrap it tightly with a straw rope to prevent it from falling off.

To be precise, there is a groove in the middle of the wood, which can be inserted directly into the stone axe. (Yes, you can use stones to split wood, but it is quite difficult, and you need to find something to fix it, after all, wood will roll. And depending on the strength of use, the wood may split directly. Chen Chao considers it)
The four types are to find a suitable stone first, and then use other stones to knock out the desired shape as an axe, which is equivalent to cutting a blade.

The handle of the ax is burnt through the wooden handle with charcoal, and the handle hole groove is finely polished with charcoal according to the shape of the selected stone. (Yes, it seems more feasible, but it is more troublesome to polish the handle hole groove, but you can directly align the stone ax on the wood, and then mark the shape on the wood with pottery shards, so that there is no technical difficulty. Chen Chao considers it)
In the end, Chen Chao decided to try the third and fourth methods and make a sample each.

It’s actually relatively easy to just do what you say, and go back to the process after you know the result. The rest is just grinding.

It is still in the production stage of the stone axe. There is no difference between the axes of the two methods, mainly in the production of the ax handle.

When making an axe, it is to keep hitting another stone with one stone to get the desired shape of the axe.

The production of the first ax handle encountered problems, because I chose to split the middle of the ax handle directly with a stone, and I also found something to fix it, and finally split it successfully.

But it was too much, and the crack went straight from the knock to the top of the wood...Chen Chao (⊙_⊙) sitting aside thinking about life~~
If the third method will cause the wood to split directly, it does not rule out that the ax handle made by the fourth method will also encounter this problem after being used many times.

He observed it, could it be because of the texture of the wood?Because it is a straight texture?

After re-selecting a piece of wood that was not straight-grained, Chen Chao struck the ax handle again.Sure enough, this time it didn't split directly.

Put the finished ax directly into the handle of the axe, and before the handle of the axe reacted, quickly wrapped around the vines frantically.

And this time the handle of the ax was finally very strong, and it didn't break apart.Wrapping the vines also makes people feel very strong. If you want to mass-produce in the future, you can consider changing the vines into straw ropes, and the effect will be better.

The production of the fourth type of ax handle was much smoother, probably because of the replacement of the material, and there was no cracking of the ax handle.

But after a few uses, the ax handle still cracked.

Sitting aside and thinking about life again, Chen Chao (⊙_⊙)
The texture of the wood has been ruled out, what is the reason this time?Is it still too stuck?But if you can't die, don't you just swing the ax a few times and fly out?Wouldn't it have to be reinforced with a straw rope?
But this is also a direction. Chen Chao burned a little more along the texture drawn by the pottery shards this time, but he kept an eye out and did not expand up and down, but slightly expanded left and right, allowing the left and right sides of the ax to Can slightly transmit light.

Sure enough, the stone ax with the handle won't fly out, and the handle won't crack.

Chen Chao summed it up. Both methods can be used. The precautions for the third method are that this precaution is also applicable to the fourth method, that is: it is best not to use straight-grained wood, because straight-grained wood is easier split.

This is the fourth additional consideration: the ax should not get stuck too tightly with the handle.You should see light from both the left and right side of the ax, otherwise the handle is prone to cracking.

After the members of the hunting team dug the pond for tanning lynx skins, Chao Chen also returned to the tribe with two samples of his newly made stone axes.

After looking at the width and depth of the pool, the members of the hunting team basically dug it according to the scope they drew, and the depth was not too deep.The quality of the excavation of the pool is very good, which is probably the reason why Yuan took the lead early in the morning.

Yuan was very concerned about the tanning of animal skins. He got up early in the morning to dig a hole with the 8 people yesterday. With the hard work of 9 grown men, it took 2 hours last night plus today's morning to make a pit. A large pit with a diameter of about two meters was dug.

'It's not good without tools. Digging a hole can kill a person. ' Super Chen thought secretly in his heart.

But these things have to be put aside, and the things in front of you should be done first.Although the pond is ready, it is a pit dug directly after all.If the pool wall is not waterproofed, direct water injection will cause the water quality to be too turbid.

Although there were no problems with the previous two pieces, they were experimental products after all, and the quantity was small. Now that they plan to mass-produce tanning, they have to be stricter, because if there is a problem, dozens of lynx skins will go wrong together.

In consideration of various aspects, Chen Chao still intends to be stricter.

So he took the hunting team to the forest in front of the tribe, pointed to a tree next to it, and then gestured at his head, meaning that every piece of wood to be cut down should be as thick as a human head.

Members of the hunting team? ? ?
Da Zhuang, the stone-throwing prince who always followed Super Chen when he was hunting? ? ?

A one-eyed man with a muddy hand? ? ?
At this moment, they only feel that, Your Majesty, the concubines can't do it! ! !
It's a big deal to make things difficult for the strong! ! !

Even Yuan's face was dull, and other people could not directly raise objections, but he, the leader, could still say a few words.

So he waved his hands at Chen Chao again and again, with a look of great shock on his face. "What can't be done can't be done."

Seeing that he was so frightened that he could speak fluent sentences, Super Chen also secretly laughed in his heart.But yes, what they must be thinking in their hearts is, who can pull out a tree with such a thick head?
