Chapter 207 Length
The effect of punishment is remarkable. With those few examples of being tied up in front of them, in the following training, these recruits are 100% energetic and in a state of high tension all the time.

Wang Lang stood on the city wall, watching the training of these recruits, and he saw all the previous punishments.

He knew that for these tribesmen who had just escaped from the savages, any preaching was not as direct as discipline with sticks.

Seeing the recruits' training gradually getting on the right track, Wang Lang stopped paying attention. He was very satisfied with the current training method.

Not long after Wang Lang walked down the city wall, a person ran over from the inner city in a hurry.

"Boss, the wheel is ready." The man said excitedly.

"Oh~" Wang Lang's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Take me to have a look."

The man nodded excitedly and led the way in front of Wang Lang.

When Mu Feng and others saw Wang Lang's arrival, they all came over to salute Wang Lang.

Wang Lang waved his hand casually, then called Mu Feng over and asked, "Is the wheel ready? Where is it?"

Mu Feng respectfully replied: "Boss, the wheel is ready, this is it!"

Mu Feng pointed to the two flower wheels protruding from the ground.

Wang Lang stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw two wheels with a diameter of more than one meter neatly stacked together, and the appearance of these wheels was no different from the one he remembered.

The wheel is spliced ​​with spokes and curved wooden boards, and there is even a layer of copper sheet more than one centimeter thick wrapped around the edge of the wheel.

"That's right, install the axle, and I'll see how it works." Wang Lang said excitedly.

Hearing this, Mu Feng quickly led the crowd to assemble the prepared axle and two wheels.

After a while of busy work, the wheels are assembled.

"Try to push around." Wang Lang said.

Four or five men, after Wang Lang finished speaking, pushed the axle hard, and the wheel began to rotate, making a creaking friction sound. This time, the axle did not rotate with the wheel. Demonstrated the turning action once, and the smooth turning process made Wang Lang nod repeatedly.

"Boss, what do you think of this wheel?" Mu Feng asked respectfully.

"Very good. From now on, you will follow this pattern and make more vehicles like this." Wang Lang said.

"Don't worry, leader. After making the first one, the next one will be much easier." Mu Feng said confidently.

"Then how long do you think it will take to make one?" Wang Lang asked.

"If the firewood is ready, one can be made in three days." Mu Feng replied.

"So fast?" Wang Lang looked at Mu Feng in surprise.

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Originally it couldn't be so fast, but I got your reminder."

"My reminder?" Wang Lang asked with some doubts.

Wooden Feng nodded and said: "Before you divided the copper smelting clan into cooperation, each person was responsible for the fixed part, plus the compass you made before, I was inspired by this, I made a wooden board, This wooden board can measure the length of each thing, with this thing, as long as each of us is responsible for one part, then we can assemble the wheels, which saves a lot of time.”

Wang Lang looked at Mu Feng suspiciously. The tool that could measure length was undoubtedly a ruler, but it was beyond his expectation that a primitive man could do this, even in his heart. , some doubts, is the young man in front of him also a time traveler, playing some game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger with himself here.

But after thinking about it, this is a bit of nonsense, there are so many traversers in this world.

"Show me that board." Wang Lang said.

When Mu Feng heard the words, he searched for a while at the place where the wood was piled up, and found a rectangular wooden board about [-] centimeters.

"Boss, this is the wooden board I made to measure the length." Mu Feng said as he handed the ruler to Wang Lang.

Wang Lang looked at the wooden board without scales at all. The crude appearance of this thing could barely be regarded as a ruler.

"Why didn't you mark the scale on it?" Wang Lang stared at Mu Feng closely, trying to see any special expression on his face.

"Scale? What is a scale?" Mu Feng asked blankly.

Looking carefully at Mu Feng's expression, he didn't see any signs of fakery. He laughed at himself, thinking that if Mu Feng was a time traveler, then this guy's acting skills had already reached the level of an actor.

Wang Lang held the ruler and said, "Have you seen the names in the tribe?"

Mu Feng nodded and said, "I've seen it, it's really a miraculous thing, it can measure the multiples of things, compared with the leader, my wisdom is as small as a bug."

Regarding Mu Feng's compliment, Wang Lang just smiled and said, "Since you have seen the scale, have you ever wondered why I carved so many points on the scale beam?"

Mu Feng heard the words, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Boss, do you mean that the wooden board is also carved with points like a scale to measure the exact length of things?"

Wang Lang nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, for example, I stipulated that the weight of a copper brick is one catty, and you can also specify a length, such as this wooden board, you can divide such a long wooden board into ten parts or More, each small piece is the most basic length, so the measurement is more accurate."

Mu Feng was extremely excited when he heard the words, looking at this wooden board, he wished to start making it immediately according to the method taught by Wang Lang, but the other people around him were confused, as if they were talking about a heavenly scripture.

"Bring the compasses." Wang Lang said.

Mu Feng almost regarded Wang Lang as a god, and after Wang Lang finished speaking, he hurriedly brought over the only compasses in the tribe.

Wang Lang took the compass and adjusted it to a width of about one centimeter.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Mu Feng and others, use a compass to mark [-] scales on that piece of wood.

"This wooden board will be used as a ruler in the future, and the distance between each scale is called one centimeter, and the distance between every one hundred small divisions is one meter. Now this ruler has twenty small divisions, that is, Twenty centimeters, when measuring things in the future, use this ruler as the standard." Wang Lang said slowly.

After handing the ruler to Mufeng, Mufeng looked at this crude ruler with fondness. In his eyes, it was a rare treasure, even the toughest and sharpest weapons of the tribe could not compare with it.

As the wooden wind made more and more things, this ruler gradually became a myth. In the legends of later generations, the first ruler in ancient times was called the wooden wind ruler. It is said that it has the power to measure the world.
