Chapter 360: Scissors!
Having said this, Xu Wen seemed to be possessed by a painter. He picked up a dead branch on the side and continued to paint directly on the ground without even thinking about it.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
In just a moment, a strange picture that the monkeys had never seen before appeared on the ground.
Based on this picture, the monkey group is relatively certain that this is a tool composed entirely of two identical parts.
It is even said that the sharpness of these two parts and even the sharpness of the top are comparable to the iron swords in their hands.
The picture on the ground is indeed composed of two parts, and the connecting position in the middle is only a relatively small thing, similar to a screw.
These two parts are like a widely opened fang, but as the fang extends and reaches the middle connection point, it changes into another appearance.
The second half is like two men with beer bellies standing back to back.
No matter how the monkeys observe, it is difficult to detect any sense of danger in this second half.
"Have you ever felt that the front end of this tool looks particularly like the tail of a swallow?"
"What a shame! Isn't this the swallow's tail?"
After being reminded by a monkey, the group of monkeys instantly discovered that the small half of the fangs and claws was indeed the swallow's tail.
However, upon second thought, the monkeys felt that this possibility was too low.
After all, in the impression of the monkeys, the swallow has no attack power at all, even the little elf who tells them the time.
"Boss, if you want to make this tool, do you have to cut off the tail of the little swallow?"
"That's right. If that's the case, then what kind of animal body is the second half of it?"
At this time, the monkey group has completely given up the production of this tool.
To be honest, Xu Wen was really shocked after hearing this question from the monkey group.
Although the textbooks I learned from childhood to college always compared the tail of a swallow to this animal.
However, in all the years of education I have received, I have never thought of using the tail of a swallow to make this tool!
"This shape? Why does it look like scissors?"
"You were right upstairs, please trust your intuition!"
"That's right, this is definitely a scissors and a knife!"
After seeing this very vivid picture, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately guessed what this tool was.
For them, this thing can be said to be closely related to their lives.
Indeed, this is indeed a pair of scissors.
The reason why Xu Wen showed off making some scissors is mainly because the current clothes are only in their original state.
In other words, Xu Wen has not yet cut these complete cotton cloths into the shape of clothes.
And among the current monkeys, are there any more suitable tools to complete this task?
"Please let go of those little swallows' tails!"
Listening to the somewhat creepy discussion of the monkeys, Xu Wensheng was afraid that the monkeys would impulsively bring back several bloody swallow tails to him!
"The name of this tool is scissors. It is made entirely of metal such as iron or copper. There is no need for a swallow's tail at all!"
After saying this, Xu Wen finally felt that his mood had calmed down.
In order to prevent the monkeys from doing such a terrifying thing, Xu Wen took great pains.
"But these scissors really look like a swallow's tail!"
However, the monkeys seemed not to understand the hidden meaning of Xu Wen's words, and still clung to the tail.
"Yes, this thing is indeed very similar to a swallow's tail, but it is really made of metal!"
"The "tail" part you don't see is the main position used for cutting, and it is also the sharpest and sharpest part of the entire tool!"
"And the belly-like part at the back is where we hold it. We can control their blades just through the cooperation between our fingers!"
Xu Wen briefly introduced the basic working principles of scissors to the monkeys, and then began to announce the next tasks to the monkeys.
"Hou Da, you go to the mining area and help me collect enough iron ore. In addition to scissors, I also need to make another tool!"
"The remaining monkeys just stay where they are and help me carve out the molds needed to make scissors!"
After saying this, the monkey group immediately took action.
Although Xu Wen has already convinced them with words or theory.
However, to really make these little monkeys recognize the practicality of this tool, we need to make sure after they personally experiment.
"This time the mold making may be a little difficult, you'd better follow my explanation step by step!"
Before starting to make molds, Xu Wen gave the monkeys a vaccination in advance.
The entire scissors can be divided into three parts, two of which are exactly the same main parts, and the last part is the small screw-shaped part that plays a connecting role.
To be honest, the production of the main part can be said to be very simple, it only requires the carving and pouring of the mold.
The second is the connection part. It is mainly difficult to make parts of suitable size according to the holes reserved in the main body.
The most difficult thing is how to perfectly integrate these three parts without any conflict.
"First, we use charcoal to carve half of the swallow's tail on these stones!"
While saying this, Xu Wen carefully carved half of the scissors on the stone with charcoal.
The reason why Xu Wen asked the monkeys to use charcoal to make the most basic drawings first was mainly so that they could have a very accurate reference to avoid making various mistakes when they started directly.
"Next, use the same method to paint the other part of the scissors!"
In this way, under the leadership of Xu Wen, the monkeys carved out the entire main part of the scissors stroke by stroke.
Although it is difficult to strictly control the size, these little monkeys still fully portray the essence.
As long as it can be combined, and the two parts are symmetrical and have sharp features, Xu Wen doesn't care about the appearance.
