Primal Power

After Lin Luo distributed the charcoal, took the pottery to the cave and put it away, put the next round of charcoal and Tao Pi into the cave and sealed it, a good morning had passed, Lin Luo was still thinking about what Hu told himself yesterday , to build a grass shed for himself on the square.

Taking Shi back to the cave, after breakfast, Lin Luo asked Shi and the others to go to the square with him, but he was very curious about how they built the grass shed, and he wanted a bigger grass Sheds, Lin Luo had seen the thatched huts on the edge of the tribe, they were all too small, even if some were put together, they were still small.

When Lin Luo arrived at the square, Ling led a group of people to dig a hole there. Lin Luo took a closer look, and there were some large and small logs beside him, which seemed to be used to build thatched sheds. They moved a wooden pier and sat aside to watch. They dug a hole, buried four thick logs, and tied the thinner sticks around with vines, and tied the thin and long vines. The strips are put on the top, and the thatch is spread on the top, so that a simple thatched shed is set up.

Looking leisurely at the two-meter-high grass shed in front of him, which was 3 meters long and 10 meters wide, with a total area of ​​[-] square meters, Lin Luo was filled with resentment. He really didn't know that the grass shed was built like this. The tree vine is broken, what if it falls and hits someone? Well, looking at this height, even if it breaks and hits someone, nothing will happen.

"Envoy, didn't you say you want to make it bigger? I just thought it would be bigger if I put the two together. I'll let them build one next to it later. Is that okay?" Ling looked at Lin Luo. He kept watching them build the straw hut, thinking that the envoys would have some good suggestions, and after building one, he hurried over to ask Lin Luo.

"Uh, tell them to wait, I'll think about it first." Lin Luo looked at the small thatched hut in front of him, and responded to Ling, "It's fine for this hut to be small, but it's so short, it's just over two meters high. Here The average height of adult men is over 1.9 meters. Even if he is not yet an adult, he can jump 1.7 meters from 1.8 meters to [-] meters. Then the short grass shed can reach the top with one hand, and if you want to cook under it, the difficulty is big.

When Ling heard what Lin Luo said, he waved them to stop. They also made this hut according to what the Pipi tribe built outside. Before that, Ling led the team to the Pipi tribe to exchange for the big witch's fur coat, and then found that I built this hut, and after I came back, I built a lot in the tribe according to the pattern.

In this way, the elders and slaves in the tribe have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but the thatched shed is not very strong, so it needs to be checked regularly, otherwise the trees and vines will loosen, and the whole roof will fall off, and it should not be too high, they all It is a tree that is cut into two sections. If the thatched shed is high, the thatch on it will be easily blown away when the wind blows. Also, if it is built too high, the thatched shed will be useless, and the wind and snow will blow it away. Blow in a lot.

Lin Luo pondered hard in his head, filtering the knowledge in his head, to see if there was any useful aspect, and whether it could help him solve the current problem. Modern high-rise buildings are all built with reinforced concrete, even if they are used to Nails are also used to connect things, so the problem arises, in ancient times, there were no such things as nails, so how could those towers and towers be built?

Thinking hard about the knowledge taught by the history teacher, I found that it didn’t seem to be useful at all. The history teacher talked about famous historical figures. Who would pay attention to the life history of this kind of low-level people? In the end, Lin Luo remembered his childhood. The big TV in the orphanage has been playing the legend of Luban in rotation.

Lu Ban was a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was also called Gongshu. It is said that the drills, planes, shovels, saws, curved rulers, and ink fountains used by many carpenters today were all invented by Lu Ban. People respect him as the ancestor of civil craftsmen.It was not these things that attracted Lin Luo's attention, but Lin Luo remembered that when he was watching cartoons, he mentioned a book of "Lu Ban Jing", and the content recorded in it was limited to ordinary houses, pavilions, bell towers, pagodas, Stables and more.

Lin Luo still vaguely remembers that it was said in the animation that the main structure of ancient buildings, furniture and other equipment is a sunmao structure, which is made by combining the concave and convex parts of the two components. connect.The protruding part is called tenon; the concave part is called mortise.

Thinking about it, Lin Luo pulled out the system and wanted to check if there was a book called "Lu Ban Jing". Although it is not available for purchase now, there must be something to look forward to. Click on the system mall, click on the search column, and it will be available soon. There have been many books about Luban, including the "Luban Classic", but the above note is unlocked only at level 12.

Level 12, I don’t know when I will be able to upgrade to it. Now I can’t wait until level 12 if I build a straw shed. I still have to figure it out on my own. Although I don’t know much about the mortise and tenon structure, I still know a few basic ones. .

Like Ling and the others, the most lacking thing in their method of building thatched huts is the connection problem. Lin Luo thought that they probably didn't know how to connect two pieces of wood together, so they used the method of tying trees and vines, but he was afraid that the trees and vines would not be able to connect. If it is firm, it will fall and hit people, so the straw sheds built are relatively short and small. As long as this problem is solved, everything will be solved easily.

The first thing is to make the shape of the mortise and tenon. Thinking of Lin Luo, he got up and walked to the side of the thatched shed. He wanted to see how the wood used to build the thatched shed was. I don’t know what kind of wood they used, but it looks good. Very straight, moderately thick, with the thickness of an adult's waist, it is still difficult to find in this forest full of several people who can only hug together, but they don't know how to process, these woods have not been processed, even The bark is still firmly wrapped around the trunk.

Lin Luo picked the branch with his fingernails, and a mark appeared on it. It seems that the tree has only been cut for a short time, and it has not been dried yet. However, it is not easy to dry a big tree in this winter. It can only make do with it.

"Ling, do you have any other wood?" Looking at the wood piled aside, I wanted to build a larger shed, but this wood was not enough, and it was too short to meet my requirements, so I had to choose materials again just do.

"There are still some, but very few. If the envoy needs it, I'll send someone to cut it down immediately. There are a lot of them outside." Ling followed Lin Luo, and replied respectfully. He then greeted someone and whispered in his ear. Just one sentence, the man ran away, and he should have asked someone to cut down the tree.

Lin Luo made a plan. To build a shed, at least 20 square meters would be enough. To build a shed, at least a sketch must be drawn. Thinking about it, Lin Luo gave an order about how much wood would be needed, and how much more wood would be needed. For thicker and taller ones, I hurriedly found a place to build them. I had to make a good plan on how to build the straw shed and where to build it.

Sitting on a wooden pier, pull out the system. There is a diary function on the system. Usually nothing important happens. Lin Luo is used to record the weather every day and what he has done. Unknowingly, he has already Been here for a month.

In addition to writing a diary, the diary also has a drawing function in the lower left corner. Many people also like to record what happens every day in the form of drawing. Lin Luo discovered this a long time ago, but he always felt that it was useless. I didn't use it, I wanted to draw a plan today, and suddenly remembered it.

According to his own ideas, the system suddenly shrunk down to the size of a picture book, and it fell into his hands. When he clicked on the paintbrush, a transparent pencil appeared in Lin Luo's hand. Lin Luo drew the straw shed according to his own ideas. The general shape of a hut is five meters long and wide, with a total area of ​​25 square meters, and the height is about [-] meters. Once the straw shed is drawn, the rest will be much easier.

It is very easy to construct a cube with tenon and tenon structure, but it is a bit difficult to make a triangle on it. Yes, Lin Luo’s idea is to make the top of it like a brick house with two slopes. In this way, when it snows, the snowflakes can slide down from the slopes on both sides, and the roof will not be crushed.

Lin Luo painted and erased the sassafras on the drawing board, and thought of several ways to join the wood into a triangle shape, but they were all crossed out by Lin Luo. Several methods can be used to join the triangle, but it is too troublesome. Cutting the wood into rectangles, one piece at a time, tools are a very troublesome thing for forests in the primitive society. Without tools, how long will it take to cut the wood into rectangles? Come up with the simplest and most convenient way.

In the end, Lin Luo decided to use the bucket-through connection when building the grass shed. This is the easiest way Lin Luo could think of. To give an example, according to Lin Luo's plan to build a 55-square-meter thatched shed, then bury the corresponding height of wood on both sides, and connect the same length of wood on the top with mortise and tenon joints, which are high and low. Looking at it from a distance, a simple residential frame was formed. After the frame was completed, the tribesmen asked the tribe to weave some bamboo boards out of bamboo, and then built a simple thatched shed on top of it.

Just do what you say, Lin Luo drew the simple and easy-to-understand frame diagram and how to connect the wood in the diary, and just wanted Ling and the others to take a look and follow suit, when he suddenly realized that they couldn't see it. Systematically, he turned his head and looked at Shi. In their eyes, he raised his hand and gestured in the air for a long time. He didn't know what Shi would think. Silently accompanied Lin Luo.

Looking at Yue who was following and Ling in the distance, they both stared blankly at their hands holding the system panel, saw themselves looking at them, and hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending to be busy with something.Lin Luo raised his hand and stroked his head. He was so excited, why did he just fiddle with the system outside.

Ling saw that the envoy went over to look at the hut he had built, and explained the wood he needed; he hurried to the side and sat up, thinking that the hut he had built was wrong, so he followed behind Lin Luo , waiting for the lecture, but the angel didn't say anything, sitting on the wooden pier and making gestures out of thin air, Ling thought that the angel was praying to the gods, every time the big witch prayed to the gods, he danced and gestured out of thin air like this .

So Ling retreated directly from Lin Luo's side, leaving enough space for Lin Luo, but the envoy's prayer time was too long. Seeing the envoy looking at him, he quickly lowered his head. When the great witch was praying, he never allowed them to watch, but asked them to lower their heads. I stared like this, wondering if the envoy would be angry.
