Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe

On the third day after Yu arrived at Yanshan, he received a "express delivery" from Xindi.

Two giant pandas, a wolf dog and a letter.

When she saw Mao Mao and Fen Fen, she was quite happy.

That man has always been considerate in his work, and even brought the dog over.

The first two nights I slept in a makeshift shelter. Although she is highly skilled and bold, she is also not very insecure.

It would be much better to have these two bears and one dog. The bear is strong enough to fight, and the dog is alert enough to issue a warning when creatures approach. This aspect is far inferior to that of humans standing guard.

The two little creatures, Mao Mao and Fen Fen, were curious about new places and ran around the perimeter of the shelter.

The big wolfhound was much more loyal, following Zai Yu's feet every step of the way.

Yu patted its head, while opening the letter sent over.

Yu could barely recognize New Fashion's "Yu Qin Qi", since it was his own name after all.

But when I opened it, I was dumbfounded. Although there is only a short page, most of them seem to have seen it.

But if she really wanted to say what the word was, she couldn't recognize it, and she scratched her head for a while, regretting that she didn't read the word well in class before.

Although she couldn't read, she could recognize Sang Yu's handwriting, and Yu wondered what was written on it.

But after turning it over and over again, I can still recognize the first sentence: Yu, see Xin'an.

Those who know and those who don't know are all mixed together, and they don't recognize them at all.

She wanted to find someone else to help her read the letter, but everyone didn't like to study, and few of them could read.

And Yu didn't want to show them the letter, and secretly felt that Sang Yu must have written something for herself, and she didn't want others to see it.

Sang Yu knew that her ability to read and write was only half a bucket of water, and she would definitely not put important things in the letter. To put it bluntly, I just want to use this method to make Yu a little bit eager to learn.

Sure enough, her desire was fulfilled, Yu dug out a few books she put in when packing her luggage, matched the words on the letter, circled each word, and then asked other people.

Although the others didn't recognize these words very well, after all, there are many people and strength, and it really allowed her to find the corresponding words.

Especially one of the lines: Since you left, I miss you very much.

The word "miss" is a new word. But after she found out what she meant, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes no matter what.

The soldiers who followed her didn't know about the letter, and were curious about why their captain had become more and more fond of reading recently, not at all like her.

Yu didn't explain, it was the first time she wanted to study so urgently, her current goal was to reply a letter to Sang Yu.

But not in the short term. She doesn't have that much time, so she can only learn a little bit by bit by bit.

The infrastructure here in Yanshan needs to start from scratch, including houses, cattle sheds, and drinking water problems.

Yan brought people to build the house, but she was still in charge of the Yanshan mission.

Fortunately, now with the blessing of axes and firewood knives, the speed of logging and chopping wood is far from what the stone knives and stone axes when we first arrived in Xindi before.

With three axes down, a big bamboo fell to the ground, and the construction efficiency was greatly improved.

There are no bricks here in Yanshan, and the shelters built are mainly wooden houses, and the roofs are still covered with thatch.

The place where the shelter is built is a few kilometers away from the salt mountain, so that once the population increases in the future, people will live too close to the salt mountain, which will affect the salt mining.

It will also scare some small animals that come to lick the salt.

At the end of the plains are the Spring Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains. These mountains stretch to the south and are vast meadows.

The moisture conditions here are moderate, and the terrain has great ups and downs. The difference between meadows and grasslands is that the latter is dominated by xerophytes, which are zonal vegetation under semi-humid and semi-arid climate conditions;

Meadows are non-zonal vegetation and can appear in different vegetation zones. (From Baidu Encyclopedia) Both are the best choice for building pastures.

Sang Yu explained that one hundred houses should be built to prepare for the future population expansion of the sub-tribes.

Ten houses were built near the salt mountain as workshops for filtering salt.

In the future, the refined salt will come directly from here, and there is no need to carry the salt mine back and then filter it, which is a waste of manpower.

At the same time, it is necessary to build houses that can accommodate 100 cows and horses, and surround a pasture with a width of about ten mu.

For more than 60 construction workers, this workload will take at least two months of work.

The Trail Blazers team was not idle, and they started looking for animals in the surrounding area from the first day.

There are only five horses now, and her first priority is to equip at least one horse for everyone in the team. Otherwise, in such a vast meadow, manpower alone does not know when to find prey.

And the early work is to find the places where horses often come and go.

Horses are herd animals, they are extremely alert and will run away for days if startled, so be extra careful in your actions.

Sang Yu set his sights near several lakes on the meadow. Animals always asked for water, and there were also some large and small hoof prints by the lake, which proved that many animals had been here.

However, how to keep these animals from running around obediently and let them catch them is a headache.

"Boss, otherwise we will build a fence by the lake, and they will enter our fence when they go in to drink water, and then we can just close the fence."

"Will they see the fence and feel that there are people here, so they won't come in."

"And the lake is so big, how can it be surrounded."

"These animals are very smart. It's difficult for you to run away without getting close to them."

Yu listened to everyone's discussion, frowning.

On the Xindi side, Sang Yu was busy from morning till night.

She has more urgent tasks at hand, both internal and external.

To follow up on the progress of the alliance, she has sent people to the Canglin tribe to inform them when it is convenient. The three tribes will send people to the central area to select a site and hold a signing ceremony.

Internally, one is to study waterwheels, and the other is to cultivate talents and develop education.

Why are you so anxious to put the hydraulic car on the agenda? This thing has to be developed, and it should be researched and used early.

Moreover, many jobs in the tribe can now be linked to water windmills. Once used in the water, it will further improve work efficiency and save a lot of manpower.

For example, there are ten shops in the blacksmithing yard, equipped with twenty people.

One person pulls the bellows, the other adds materials and strikes the iron, and the two take turns.

Pulling the bellows is not a heavy job. But it is really boring to have to bend over and repeat a movement all the time. But if there is water power, half of the labor can be saved.

Their tribe relies on a river, which is also the advantage of the tribe, including the fish in the river and the continuous water power generated by the river flowing downstream.

Such abundant water resources should not be wasted just like that.

The ancients could build waterwheels for irrigation, and of course they can too.

Moreover, the current rice will further expand the seed area in the future. In terms of irrigation, water trucks are necessary.

Ming Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu": "Yangjun uses several sails, and when the wind turns to the car, the wind will stop. This car is to save the poor, and it wants to go to the water so that it can be planted."

In addition to irrigation and drainage, there are too many things that hydraulic vehicles can do.

There will be more and more rice to be ground in the future, and the animal power in the tribe is limited. Now the paddy field has been developed to 50 mu, and the planting area will be expanded in the future. All of them will go to the ground to pull the plow to work. If they pull the mill again, the old cow will have to be tired die.

Sang Yu is not a physicist, and he has no way of researching advanced energies such as steam and electricity to replace human and animal power. Only the water power in front of him is relatively simple.

These water windmills only need to be driven by windmills and gears to rotate some simple or repetitive actions, such as grinding, pounding rice and pulling bellows.

In addition, iron ore needs to be smashed first when making iron. These things can use water power to convert water energy into mechanical energy for agricultural and handicraft production.

Of course, different jobs require different hydraulic settings. Things like water reels, water drains, and water mills correspond to different jobs.

There are a total of 40 people in the handicraft team, 20 of whom are regular blacksmiths.

In just two years, the ironware made, including production tools and weapons, has been able to be done by everyone.

In this way, the work of the manual team will not be so saturated. Only then did Sang Yu think of putting the matter of hydraulic mechanization work on the agenda, and wanted to further develop their understanding and cognition of mechanical power.

Because in the future, it is just simple tool assembly, and there is no way to promote the industrial development of the tribe.

But now everyone has no idea about waterwheels, and Sang Yu has to guide them.

Before that, she had to figure out the principle of the operation of the waterwheel by herself, make a simple mold, and start work after the experiment was correct.

And Sangyu wants to conduct experimental research on three things: water reed, water row and water mill.

The water pestle can be used for pounding rice, as well as pounding paper pulp and crushing ore. The transmission method is to drive the water wheel through the momentum of the water flow, and then move the tip of the pestle on the pumping wheel. If it is flowing without stopping the water wheel, then it will be a pounding perpetual motion machine.

The mechanical operation of the blower corresponds to the water discharge, and its working principle is to use the water wheel to drive the connecting rod to drive the blower.

The machine that drives the movement of the stone mill is a water mill. The running water drives the □□ to rotate, and the rotation of the □□ pushes the gears to rotate together, which in turn drives the stone mill to rotate.

After understanding the general method of operation, Sang Yu plans to select relevant interested personnel to form a research team with six people to participate in the manufacturing of power machinery.

Jiao was the first to sign up.

Sang Yu was sympathetic to him, who had been leading the blacksmith team to study iron forging in the early stage, and he had worked hard for a long time, so that he could take a rest.

But he insisted on getting involved.

Everyone couldn't help but admire his professionalism.

When Sang Yu heard this, she laughed it off.

Of course she knew why Jiao was in such a hurry. The main reason was that there were a few rising stars in the handicraft team with strong hands-on skills, and they even faintly surpassed Jiao.

Jiao, as an old man of the tribe, is also the captain of the handicraft team. From making bows and arrows to blacksmithing to bellows, he is even more astonished at the ideas put forward by the leader. He is astonished that there are such ingenious tools in this world. He doesn't think it's strange to have a flying machine.

But Jiao has always stuck to the rules, especially in last year's dispatch of troops to the Rock Tribe, his character was fully reflected.

Moreover, he has an old-fashioned personality, and he is even nostalgic for the privileges of men in the old patrilineal system.

Sang Yu certainly did not forget his performance when the captive and the tourists rebelled.

Gao Neng knows his way back, she is willing to give him a chance.

But Jiao Ri's recent performance made her retain her attitude towards him.

As for Diagonal, he lost the position of captain last time, which made him realize that he was at a crossroads to gain the trust of the leader. If there is no change, it is easy to lose its current status.

Not only that, but it is also likely to be surpassed by others in the team. Therefore, he is also extraordinarily diligent, and wants to use diligence to make up for other deficiencies.

This time, he didn't even think about setting up a research and development team to study the water tanker, so he signed up directly.

No matter what, Sang Yu actually likes the sense of competition in the team.

Especially for today's handicraft teams, the future will definitely develop towards innovation.

But some craftsmen's things should not be rushed, and need to be polished carefully.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of researching hydraulic vehicles, she summoned the handicraft team members and said: "I know that everyone wants to give full play to their ingenuity. But our handicraft team must not only be smart and forge ahead, but also need to be steady and maintain The spirit of the old craftsman."

Some team members immediately put forward their own ideas: "But what the leader likes to see the most is the more capable and smarter people."

Sang Yu shook his head, "In our team, we need pioneers, as well as down-to-earth people."

The team member immediately retorted: "There are so many down-to-earth people in the tribe. As the toolmakers of the tribe, our handicraft team should be ahead of everyone."

The girl who spoke was very thoughtful, and Sang Yu said: "Ting, your idea is very bold, but you must remember that the development of our tribe is already ahead of other tribes, what we need most now is stability, stability Seek to win."

Having said that, Sang Yu still has the idea of ​​building a long-term R&D team, which will break away from the handicraft team and become an industrial think tank.

In this way, the manual team still returns to its original definition and only needs to process and assemble.

After listening to Sang Yu's words, Ting felt a little dissatisfied, but he had nowhere to refute, and finally kept silent to express his obedience to the order.

And what she said made others think.

Not all manual teams are smart people. When everyone divided the labor, in order to protect the secrets of weapon manufacturing and ironware, the first consideration was the issue of loyalty, and members of the non-bird tribe were selected. Because such a person has nowhere to rely on, and can only hold tightly to the thigh of the Phoenix Tribe.

But now that more than a few years have passed, and everyone's loyalty has passed the test, Sang Yu thinks that maybe they should be reselected and grouped according to their talents and strengths, and some partial adjustments can be made.

Form a new R&D team. As for the honest and hardworking old people in the handicraft team, they will stay in their original positions and continue to work. Develop in the direction of craftsmen.

The same is true for the positioning of the corners.

But she didn't say it out, and Jiao also had her own considerations.

It is the result of his consideration that he assigns blacksmithing and other tasks to others, and joins in the research and development of hydraulic vehicles.

Sang Yu likes a competitive atmosphere, and she will adopt anything that is beneficial to the tribe. Therefore, the idea of ​​the angle is also to wait and see.

As long as he can understand the working principle of the hydraulic car and assist in the production of machinery, then he is definitely one of the heroes.

Research takes time, and Sang Yu is willing to give them time to spend.

The Horde can afford to wait.

She also distributed paper and pens to everyone, allowing everyone to design freely.

And especially at the meeting, I explained to you the operating principle of the hydraulic car, so that everyone can have some basic understanding of this thing.

Together they made small models out of wood and experimented with pottery basins imitating river water.

During the discussion, Sang Yu also discovered that there are some people in this team who are good at physics and mathematics. Although I have no foundation and no experience, but with her explanation, I have found some ways.

Therefore, Sang Yu has a general understanding of their understanding and hands-on ability.

For example, Ting who spoke that day, a young man named Yun, and Mei are all people with active thinking and good thinking.

The corner is the old craftsman's school, the more stable wave.

Originally, Sang Yu had the idea of ​​bringing Mei with her. But bringing it up at this time may cause other people to think too much.

So I didn't say anything for the time being, and I wanted to see what these people could figure out alone. Is there a spirit of collaboration, is there some collision of ideas, and so on.

The day was as busy as ever.

Half a month passed, Yu did not come back.

But some members of the construction team went back to Xindi for the weekend. Only then did Sang Yu learn that Yu originally planned to come back this week.

But some of them found traces of an animal that looked like a horse but not a horse. She took a team of ten people out and never came back.

This animal sounds like a donkey, and Sang Yu is not sure.

Of course she knows that horses, cattle and sheep are all animals that can run and be alert. If you want to capture them, you have to squat and follow them. It is not something that can be captured in a day or two.

It's common to be out for ten days and a half months.

Although she was worried, it was of no avail.

Because these things have to be done by someone, not Yu, but someone else.

Whose children are not children.

Yu has the toughness and vigilance that others don't have. She is the most suitable for this job. It doesn't make much sense to keep her in the tribe and not be able to make use of her advantages.

I can only go out to practice in front of her.

Sang Yu secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to her.

After dinner one day, Miao excitedly came to her door, wanting to discuss the hydraulic vehicle with her.

Sang Yu asked her with a smile, why she didn't discuss with her team members, and even dared to leapfrog to find herself.

Mei lowered her head and said after a long time: "They are too stupid, I can't discuss anything with them."

Sang Yu just smiled at her answer, but she still supported Mei's research spirit.

To be honest, she used to know nothing about these machines and only knew the surface. Now she is forcing herself to study and try her best to search for the simple structure memory of modern equipment in her mind, which is already very difficult.

In the future, she will not be able to help her in researching some deeper mechanisms and principles, and she will have to rely on more professional people in this field.

At most, put forward ideas and directions for them to study.

What Miao wants to discuss with himself this time is. In the absence of hydraulic action, how to divert water from a low place to a high place.

She still holds the drawn paper model in her hand, with some annotations on it.

Seeing this, Sang Yu smiled and said, "Learning to read is still very beneficial."

Mei nodded a little shyly. She also used symbols to mark these marks, and she didn't know many words yet, and she didn't know if the leader could understand them.

Sang Yu ticked off the corner of her mouth, picked up the brush, and corrected the markings, and then she added them on her own.

"So you mean to put small wooden barrels here, and then carry the water by foot?"

"Yes, here it is made into a big disc. The bucket filled with water is as high as this place and then falls down. You don't need to use any force, and you can irrigate directly by tilting it down."

"It still depends on manpower."

"But what if..."

The two discussed for a long time, and they finally had some clues.

"We put this water wheel in a place where the water flow is very fast, and the water will drive the wood chip to rotate after it is washed away."

"Very good..." Sang Yu said happily, and gave her a thumbs up. "Then we have to consider how to connect these pieces of wood, or what material and shape of wood to use."

"Boss, I see. I still want to change this place. I'll think about it slowly when I go back. I'll come to you again when I'm done."

Sang Yu smiled, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, you still have to have a good rest at night, and think about it during the day."

"I see, goodbye, leader."

Sang Yu watched her run out again in a hurry, and felt that it would not be long before she might not be able to participate in the discussion with the knowledge of physical machinery and power.

Can't keep up, no way.

However, two days later, she went to the handicraft team again to discuss the progress with everyone, but something unexpected happened to her.

Kok was the first to tell her about his idea for a hydraulic vehicle.

At the same time, the other party also submitted the model he drew to her, and analyzed his structural principles one by one.

When Sang Yu saw the blueprint, she didn't make any gestures.

Only when he raised his head did he glance at Mei from the corner of his eye.

The other party looked shocked.

The views analyzed by Jiao were exactly what Mei discussed with her that day.

Sang Yu didn't respond and listened carefully to Jiao's analysis.

She wanted to see who really made this thing.

Soon, she really caught some clues.

Because Rimei marked some parts of the model that day, but not completely. Many of them were added later after Sang Yu told her.

Some nouns were not mentioned by Sang Yu in the night school or in the previous seminars.

It was a new word that I remembered under the inspiration of May.

The previous discussions involved some proper nouns, which she transformed into easy-to-understand words.

Jiao's night school grades were actually not bad, he worked very hard, and he could read quite a few words, but there were one or two words here that she didn't say.

Jiao even explained these words: "Boss, this place is to be stepped on with feet, so I named it a treadmill."

It turned out that this was why Mei went directly to discuss with herself.

But she was so defensive, but she didn't, the little girl was still a little tender.

After Jiao finished talking about his idea, he got his wish and saw the approval on the leader's face, and his face immediately became flushed.

Sang Yu pointed out what he needs to think about in the next step, such as the rotating axle, what material to use, and how to assemble it to reduce wear and tear.

Jiao hurriedly responded.

And when Sang Yu called Mei's name, Mei lowered her head, expressing that she didn't come up with any good ideas.

Sang Yu folded her arms and said nothing, then turned around and nodded.

Ting still has some ideas, which can be regarded as making her admire.

Everyone was expressing their opinions, except Mei, who stood there blankly, at a loss.
