Chapter 208 The Big Bang

The emergence of rulers, compasses, and scales laid the foundation for the unification of weights and measures among tribes in the future. These basic measurement tools will play a great role in the formulation of astronomy and calendars in the future.

Wang Lang asked Mu Feng to remove the excess part of this crude ruler, and then used a dagger to carve traces on the marked scale.

With rulers, whether it is carpentry or other manufacturing work, it is possible to standardize production.

Rulers and compasses can make the wheels made by Mufeng uniform in size, which can greatly save manpower and house, and even if they are damaged, spare wheels can be replaced.

Wang Lang sent someone to bring a deer cart, and Mu Feng led the carpenter, and it took over an hour to replace the new wheels.

After assembling and putting on the Julu, Wang Lang was eager to try this new car.

After receiving the whip from the tribe, Wang Lang sat on the carriage, holding the rein with his left hand, and waved the whip lightly with his right hand.

He shouted lightly: "Drive!"

Not only did the sound of "Drive!" play left and right, but also the effect of the whip, and the giant deer slowly pulled the cart and walked forward.

The ground in the tribe has already been trampled extremely solid due to frequent people walking, leaving only two shallow marks when the wheels run over it.

The new wheels are much lighter than the previous solid wood wheels. After the vehicle is moving, Julu pulls it very easily.

Wang Lang tried several turns without any major problems.

Seeing this result, Mufeng and the carpenters all smiled proudly.

Wang Lang jumped out of the deer cart and asked someone to unload the giant deer, lead it aside and tie it up.

"That's right, this wheel is usable, and you can make it according to this size in the future." Wang Lang laughed.

Mu Feng nodded and said: "Don't worry, leader, as long as there is enough wood, there are as many wheels as you want."

Wang Lang nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Mu Feng and the others: "You guys, even though you have made the wheel, you shouldn't be too proud. This is just the beginning. In the future, you should work hard to make other more useful things. , whether tools or weapons."

Hearing that Wang Lang's request was so high, several people suddenly showed embarrassment.

"Boss, how to do this specifically, can you give me a hint." Mu Feng asked respectfully.

"Don't ask me about everything. You have to learn to use your own brains. For example, you Mufeng, isn't the wheel you came up with very good? You can't develop the habit of not using your brains." Wang Lang said seriously.

Ever since I saw Wang Lang's "wisdom", I did have a problem of not thinking. If I couldn't figure it out, I would immediately think of asking Wang Lang for advice. This time, I was warned by Wang Lang, and Mu Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed .

"What the leader said is true!" Mu Feng said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "I'll give you a hint this time, next time if there's no big problem, you can solve it by yourself!"

When Mu Feng and the others heard the words, they were overjoyed immediately, and quickly said, "Thank you, leader!"

"After you finish the wheel, try to improve the tribe's bed crossbow and bow and arrow, and you can try to make a car that can be pushed by one person, and the rest, you can observe and think for yourself! "Wang Lang said slowly.

After hearing this, Mu Feng fell into deep thought. Those weapons were already the most perfect things for him, and he basically had no idea how to improve them, and he also had no idea how to make the car that the man could push. Immediately felt a headache.

Seeing the sad faces of several people, Wang Lang said with a smile: "You should think about it slowly. By the way, as a reward for making the wheel, you can go to my wife Fanxing's place later, and each of you will receive a pickled cucumber." .”

When the few people heard the words, their eyes suddenly lit up. They had heard the name of pickled cucumbers for a long time. It was said that only the old tribesmen had eaten these rare things once, and they were said to be much more delicious than meat.

They were immediately encouraged to receive such a reward, and thanked Wang Lang again and again.

After Mu Feng's affairs were settled, just as Wang Lang was about to leave, suddenly there were bursts of whistling in the sky.

Surprised, Wang Lang quickly raised his head to look at the sky, only to see a dozen fireballs suddenly descending from the sky, whistling thousands of meters above the tribe and flying towards the east.

"Meteorite!" Wang Lang exclaimed.

When the rest of the people saw such a terrible scene, their faces turned pale with fright, and they lay down on the ground in horror and kowtowed to the sky continuously.

The meteorites flying from outside these days are extremely fast, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye. About half a minute later, bursts of violent explosions suddenly came from the east. The terrifying sound was as frightening as the end of the world. A mushroom cloud more than ten meters high Rise on the eastern horizon.

After Wang Lang heard the explosion, he quickly lay down on the ground.

Ten seconds later, the ground vibrated violently, seven or eight of the simple thatched huts collapsed in an instant, and the huge shock wave caused by the explosion swept towards the tribe with a strong wind, and countless weeds were blown to the ground in the past. .

The soldiers who were training on the grassland were lying on the ground, and their livers and gallbladders were tearing apart with fright at this moment.

The strong wind blew, and the people lying on the ground were blown off the ground by more than half a meter in an instant, and fell heavily to the ground, and the scene was in a mess.

Those who stayed in the tribe were protected from the aftermath of the explosion thanks to the protection of the city walls.

The shock wave came and went quickly, and everything returned to calm after a few seconds.

But the frightened people lay on the ground trembling all over, not daring to move.

After Wang Lang got up, looking at the messy tribe, he couldn't help secretly rejoicing, if these meteorites were closer to the tribe, everything here would cease to exist.

Looking at the collapsed houses, Wang Lang thought of his wife and children, and ran towards his home like crazy.

Fan Xing hugged Wang He and lay trembling in the ruins of the house. The child in her arms was frightened and cried loudly.

Seeing that his wife and children were safe, Wang Lang felt relieved for Xia Li, and walked over to remove the thatch and wooden sticks scattered on Fanxing's body, gently stroked Fanxing's hair, and said, "It's all right! I'm here!"

Fan Xing looked at Wang Lang with a pale face, as if she was frightened, she opened her mouth and couldn't say a word.

Wang Lang sighed, and checked Fanxing's body, except for a few bruises on his back from being hit by a wooden stick, there was nothing serious.

"Calm down first, take care of your child, I'll go and see other clansmen."

Seeing that the mother and son were fine, Wang Lang hurriedly confessed and ran out of the city.

The situation outside the wall was much more serious than inside the city. After the shock wave passed, many people lay on the ground and howled continuously.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lang's heart sank, and he shouted loudly: "Soldiers who are not injured, rush to the ground and get up!"

The terrified soldiers lay motionless on the ground, and even the leaders like Lin Huo curled up on the ground, terrified, as if they hadn't heard Wang Lang's words.
