Chapter 183： Invention of the cart

  Chapter 183 Inventing the Cart

Not long after the construction of Beixiang Village started, Qu Mao went from the construction site of Nanlai Village in Yidao to the construction site of Beixiang Village through the underground passage. The two villages were connected by the Ziguang trail of the underground passage. It takes less than an hour to get there on the war horse.

  The northbound village of Outlying Island is the same as the southbound village of Yidao, except that a circular city wall is built around the entrance and exit of the underground passage. The height of the fourth-tier city wall is only 12 meters, so the diameter of the circular city wall surrounding the entrance and exit of the underground passage to the small village in the north is about 12 meters.

It’s just that after the fourth-tier city wall is completely built, it will be very depressing once you get out of the underground passage, but in terms of safety, it is definitely better than Nanlai Village. In the future, you have to consider building walls around Nanlai Village and Beixiang Village , to protect against external threats.

   Qu Mao came to the construction site of the small village in the north of the outlying island, and Kong Ming immediately found Qu Mao.

   "Kong Ming, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Qu Mao asked suspiciously.

  Kong Ming shook his feather fan and said, "My lord, didn't you say before that if your subordinates have any ideas for improving tools, they should tell you first, and then you will evaluate and implement them?"

  A large number of cheating values ​​instantly appeared in Qu Mao's mind, and he said immediately: "Oh, do you have any new ideas?"

Kong Ming nodded and said, "My lord, look at the lumberyard and quarry we built at the bottom of the Lihe Reservoir. Stones with neat specifications are not a big problem.

  However, the felled trees in the lumber field directly become the timber resources of the territory, but it is extremely inconvenient to clean the small branches and leaves, and keeping them will affect the water quality of the reservoir in the future.

  So the subordinates thought, why don't we invent a small cart?

  Use a small cart to transport gravel, clods, twigs, leaves, etc. on a small cart, which not only saves the labor of the citizens, but also improves the cleaning efficiency..."

  Listening to Kong Ming’s introduction, a small trolley in another world’s film and television works appeared in Qu Mao’s mind, and Dang even said: “Kong Ming, you don’t need to talk about it, I know what tools to make.”

The planning of the small village in the north directed by Kong Ming is obviously better than the small village in the south planned by Su Yan. Not only did a large number of zero-level territorial houses be built for the residents of the small village in the north, but also carpentry workshops and blacksmith departments were built. Buildings, these functional buildings can provide tools and work repair services when they are built in the north to the small village.

   Qu Mao came to the blacksmith shop and carpentry workshop in Beixiang Village for the first time. The wheels are ready-made. After all, the technology of making carriages has been popularized in the territory of Yi Village.

He ordered the carpenters to reduce the wheels of the carriage to only about 60 cm in diameter. At the same time, the axles and carriages were also reduced simultaneously. He had experience in manufacturing carriages, and the small carts with only two wheels. It took half a day to make the finished product with the help of Qu Mao.

   The cheating system rewarded Qu Mao with 100 cheating points at one time, which made Qu Mao so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

  Arrange carpenters and blacksmiths to continue to produce this kind of cart. Considering the actual situation, Qu Mao also suggested that the carpenter’s cart should be nailed with bamboo pieces. This kind of cart can be used to pull leaves.

   also told carpenters and blacksmiths that a small cart without a paneled floor could also be produced, which could be used to pull small branches and large stones.

  The first finished product is a small cart made of wooden boards that are tightly stitched together on the bottom and side panels of the car, which can be used to pull gravel and clods.

   With these three improved versions of small carts with different specifications and different uses, Qu Mao believes that after the craftsmen make them, the cheating system will continue to reward cheating value.

  The carpenters and blacksmiths naturally nodded when they heard what Qu Mao said in such detail and explained the purpose, and began to get into the intense production and processing work.

Kong Ming gave an idea, and Qu Mao assisted the carpenter and blacksmith to make it, and he was directly rewarded with 100 cheating points. This made Qu Mao more determined to ask Kong Ming to continue to give ideas, not counting the three improved styles in total. What about the possible cheat value rewards?

There are still 329 treasure chests in Qu Mao’s backpack that have not been opened. Even if one gold treasure chest is left in the backpack, 328 treasure chests can be opened directly. With a wonderful brain and Qu Mao's insight, Qu Mao felt that a broad road to cheating was already in front of him.

   Unable to get enough cheat points in the future, coupled with the threat of Birdman, Qu Mao might fill up the cheat points in one go and open all 328 treasure chests at once.

   Turning 328 treasure chests into the hard power of Yi Village's territory, even if Birdman threatened to cause trouble for Yi Village's territory, he had to weigh Qu Mao's strength.

  At least 328 treasure chests can give Qu Mao more resources and defense capabilities. After getting the cart’s cheat value reward, Qu Mao asked Kong Ming to experiment with the efficiency of the finished cart.

That night, Qu Mao did not return to Yidao, but found a two-story wooden building in the construction site of Beixiang Village, and used the night time to repeatedly emphasize to Kong Ming that there would be similar tool production and process improvement in the future. Ideas must be told to him in advance so that he can judge whether to implement them first.

  Kong Ming said: "My lord, for the time being, the construction of the small village in the north does not require tools other than small carts, and there are no technical difficulties that require improved craftsmanship.

  After the completion of Beixiang Xiaocun, on the one hand, it will provide safety protection measures for the underground passage, and on the other hand, it will also serve as a gathering place for the residents of the Lihe Reservoir Water Retention Dam Construction Project.

  The subordinates suggest that the adults arrange some mason-based residents to move to Beixiang Village, and even settle in Beixiang Village after the project is completed. After all, the water blocking dam still needs daily maintenance in the future. "

   Qu Mao said: "Okay, but I am afraid that there are not many stonemasons in the territory now, so we have to choose carefully.

  I have told you many times about the shipyard and the construction of the small village where the families of the boatmen are housed. You should not just stay in the small village in the north, you have to complete other tasks. "

  Kong Ming smiled and said: "My lord, my subordinates have already made a plan. Tomorrow, we will start looking for the construction site of the shipyard along the outlying islands. We will build a small village called Fulou near the shipyard to house the families of the boatmen.

  My lord only needs to allocate resources to his subordinates at that time. Don’t worry too much, my lord. Use tomorrow’s time to go to Sky Island to investigate grass planting.

   We will definitely raise war horses by ourselves in the future, but there is no grassland yet. Don't be greedy for too much, if you can grow a piece of grass, it is a piece of grass. After all, there is no fresh water source on the empty island. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. I will go there tomorrow, but I will take away the small cart made today.

   After Su Qiaoer arrives in two days, ask her to help you share some outlying island construction tasks. "
