He took out a thin piece of wood, and made a gesture at the cut of the thick wood, and the two grooves were wedged together just right.

Lightly tap with the back of the stone axe, so that there is no gap at the joint between the two pieces of wood.

"This is one spoke of the wooden wheel, and the other seven thin wooden spokes are installed together like this."

dong dong dong...

dong dong dong...

The knocking sound is fine and regular, and the spokes are installed in place one by one.

He pressed the bearing to the ground with one hand, and moved the spokes with the other, and the rough wooden wheel jerky turned a circle.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"Here we come, the familiar craftsman Xu Le!"

"Watching Mr. Xu Le make these tools is really a kind of enjoyment... There is a sense of detachment away from the world."

"I'm thinking of Miss Ziqi again, when will Miss sister cooperate with Mr. Xu Le to make a video?"

"Hahaha, there's someone waiting upstairs!"

After making the prototype of the wooden wheel, Xu Le dug a small hole on the ground that was six to seven centimeters wide and ten centimeters deep.

The spoked side of the wooden wheel is down, and it is wedged into the stone pit and stands upright.

Barrage--

"It's kind of like it!"

He continued to find a wooden pole, about seventy or eighty centimeters long, with a branch in the shape of a "ya" at one end.

The end without branches was sharpened, and then stood up at a 45-degree angle, and smashed into the ground with the back of the axe, sinking about seven or eight centimeters deep.

At the end with branches, the notch is placed on the top of the wooden wheel bearing.

Use soft vines to seal the end of the "Y"-shaped opening to ensure that the wooden wheel bearings will not come out.

Kicking the protruding spokes with his feet, the wooden wheel turned jerkyly again.

Squeak... squeak...

Barrage--

"It really turned!"

"It seems very simple... But watching the process of the production of Mr. Xu Le, it is inexplicably relieved."

"Oh, there were no electric motors in ancient times, isn't that how the drawing tools were made?"

"Sure, but there are enough tools and materials, and the casting machines in ancient times must be more perfect. There are manpower, animal power and water power."

"It's a bit of a time-traveling feeling, and Mr. Xu Le makes clay utensils, hahaha, it means returning to the original!"

"..."

Xu Le took a closer look at this simple wooden wheel structure, and then said: "If it is supported on one side, it will easily overturn."

"So let's add two more brackets the way we made the brackets just now."

While speaking, he picked the same two straight wooden poles, sharpened them, and smashed them into the ground.

At the end of the "Y"-shaped branch, the notch is also against the wooden wheel bearing, and it is sealed with soft vines.

The three brackets form an angle of 120 degrees to each other, and the stars and moons generally fix the wooden wheel bearings in between.

On the side of the wooden wheel bearing away from the spokes, Xu Le cut out a shallow groove about three centimeters wide with a stone knife, and the notches of the three brackets just fell into the shallow groove.

"The triangle is the most stable, and the structure is simple, easy to make and easy to maintain."

"The friction of wood at the upper joint will cause poor rotation, and the lower grounded part also has relatively large friction. We lubricate it with python oil after drying."

Chapter 82 Clay pots, ancient!

The grease scraped from the two giant pythons has become a little dry and hard after being dried.

Xu Le directly chopped up the dry and hard block of python fat with a stone knife, and applied it on the upper and lower joint surfaces of the wooden wheel bearing.

Vigorously flipping the spokes by hand again, the wooden wheel began to rotate rapidly, and it lasted for about half a minute before slowly stopping.

"The spokes are still relatively light, and there is no problem if they spin idling, but if the top layer is drawn with mud billets, the wooden wheel will not be able to spin as long as before."

Xu Le smiled at the camera and explained, "So let's add a little weight to the wooden wheel."

"Adding weights is as simple as attaching large rocks to the end of the spokes."

The spokes use eight thin woods, each wedged into the wooden wheel bearing at the center point, and extended on both sides.

In this way, there are sixteen spokes around the bearing.

Two adjacent ones form a group. Xu Le took long strips of rocks and put them on the ends of the spokes, forming a triangle and binding them firmly.

"...Complete!"

Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back.

Three brackets fasten a wooden wheel, and the wooden wheel is counterweighted by stones with a total weight of more than forty kilograms.

On the upper end of the wooden wheel bearing, Xu Le also fixed a flat stone slab to support the mud.

Turn it hard a few times, and under the lubrication of the python fat, the wooden wheel creaked and continued to rotate for more than 3 minutes before it began to slow down.

When the rotation stopped completely, the wooden wheel ran for more than 5 minutes.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"What is awesome... When Mr. Xu Le said he was going to make a casting machine, I didn't even know what it was!"

"It turned out that in just a short while, a simple manual drawing machine was produced..."

"Brother Chest, this is the fifth day of Survival Island! On the fifth day, there will be a casting machine. I feel that I will not be surprised if Mr. Xu Le comes up with something else in the future."

"I've watched a lot of Mr. Xu Le's live broadcast room, and I feel like other players are just playing house."

"Except for those in the top ten who can barely watch, the rest of the contestants have been dumped eight blocks by Mr. Xu Le!"

"I can't wait to see Mr. Xu Le pimping... No, it's pimping!"

"..."

The high temperature on the island, coupled with the carefully proportioned water-powder ratio, greatly increases the drying speed of the white mud.

Xu Le disassembled a stone on the side of the white mud pile, and took out the mud that was compacted and firmed under the weight of the stone slab.

When the mud is cut open, a dark bright surface appears at the section.

"Such a smooth cross-section means that the air inside has been basically eliminated. The manufactured utensils will not have trachoma or air bubbles, and are more durable."

Take a piece of mud, place it on a flat stone board, and knead it further to make the moisture more even and expel the last bit of residual air.

Put the mud on the drawing machine, soak your hands, rotate, and go mud!

The off-white mud quickly stood up under Xu Le's hands.

Keep digging, lifting, pulling...

Not long after, a jug shape with a solid bottom, a bulging belly, a narrow neck, and a wide mouth emerged from the mud!

The whole process was done in one go!

As the speed of the drawing machine decreased, Xu Le's movements became more and more gentle and gentle.

He started to fine-tune the mud tires more closely.

"At this stage, I would rather slow down than worry, otherwise the mud will probably be thrown out."

When the drawing machine stopped completely, a water tank mud tire with a beautiful shape and uniform shape appeared in the screen of the live broadcast room.

On the surface of the mud tire, there are still remaining lines left over from the time of hand-drawing, presenting a rough and primitive aesthetic feeling.

The first time drawing... the effect is not bad... Xu Le nodded in satisfaction.

Slowly rotate the drawing machine so that the mud tire falls into the camera screen at 360 degrees without dead ends.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"How could a mud tire come out in less than 3 minutes? I wouldn't believe it if Mr. Xu Le didn't have ten or eight years of pottery making experience."

"I seem to have seen pottery of a similar shape in a museum...it looks like a jug in an ancient pottery discovered by archeology."

"Big Brother Xu Le reproduced the jug based on archaeological excavations... It immediately has a heavy sense of history."

"It's so beautiful... Simple and concise, although the appearance is simple, but it really makes people seem to see the ancestors overcoming obstacles and fighting against the wilderness..."

"What else can I say, buddy chest, let's start tipping!"

“[Be Your Cat]: Humph!”

"I knelt down to the local tyrants upstairs..."

After the first mud tire was completed, Xu Le cut it horizontally with a stone knife, removed the mud tire, and placed it in a cool place to dry.

In the same way, continue to draw the remaining mud!

Chapter 83 Vented Stove, Full Fire!

Five piles of white mud blanks were divided into more than ten parts of different sizes after being cut by piles of mud.

Except for the first one which was made into a convex-bellied pot, the rest were made into similarly shaped water storage tanks, deep-mouthed basins, bowls that can be held in one hand, and wide-mouthed urns.

There are even some spoons in different sizes.

One piece of mud was slightly rough, and Xu Le made it into an earthen pot with a wall thickness of one centimeter and a two-layer cover inside and outside.

The remaining material is out of the drawing machine.

Using wooden tools to press and skewer, three wine jugs with a capacity of about [-] milliliters, three short and thick feet are installed on the bottom, and the upper opening extends to both sides.

All the white mud bricks were consumed, and what was exchanged was a whole set of clay utensils lined up along the bottom of the wooden house wall.

Tall, short, fat and thin, well-proportioned, it looks extremely chic at first glance.

"Thighs are amazing!"

Silly Baitian Meng Yiyi hopped over and reached out to grab the most pleasing-looking drink.

"It's not dry yet."

Lin Xihan held down Silly Baitian's hand that was about to move, and asked Xu Le with a trace of uncertainty, "Should we still burn it?"

I just divided the gazelle... why is he moving so fast?It's only been two or three hours...

That wooden wheel... the structure is simple, but it is not easy to process it so tightly in a short period of time...

So many bottles and cans...all of them are made by him...

The arrogant Lin Xihan felt that her imagination was not enough.

This person... is there anything he doesn't know...

Xu Le rubbed Meng Yiyi's disheveled bird's nest head, and said, "It really needs to be fired before the final product can be produced."

"The firing temperature of general pottery needs to be close to [-] degrees Celsius. If it is made of porcelain, the temperature must be close to [-] degrees Celsius."
