037 Copper ox ploughing the field

Soon, a pile of parts appeared in front of Cardin.

Previous life!

The emergence of the wooden plow can be said to have brought farming civilization to its peak.

A complete wooden plow consists of a plow tip, a plow mirror, a plow bed, a plow stock, and a plow disc. In addition, the lower end of the wooden plow has a slightly triangular iron tool for turning soil, called a plowshare.

A curved wooden handle is erected at the rear end of the wooden plow for people to hold on and control the direction.

This is the most basic structure of the Western Han Dynasty wooden plow. In previous lives, no matter how many types of wooden plows there were in the world, they could not escape the principles of the Western Han Dynasty wooden plow.

As a boy from a farm family, Cardin knew this stuff very well since he was a child.

Even when he was in the third grade of junior high school, he had already obtained the secret knowledge passed down from his grandfather and mastered this magical weapon.

Cardin didn't say much, squatted down and started assembling.

Most of the dwarf craftsmen on the side gathered around.

Especially Grote, he looked at it very seriously.

Because when Cardin asked him to build it, he said that it would be the greatest tool in the history of the orcs and that it would be able to feed countless orcs in the future.

When Grote heard these exaggerated remarks one after another, he was naturally very curious about this thing.

Cardin began to assemble it, and soon, a wooden plow with a curved shaft appeared in front of Cardin.

However, although it was assembled, it was not stable.

"Where are the nails?" Cardin asked.

"Yes, yes..." Soon, a dwarf brought over the handmade "iron nails" Cardin requested to make.

Cardin took it, glanced at it, and nodded.

He asked the dwarves to make these nails. He didn't know that the dwarves knew about rivets but not this kind of nails.

Cardin didn't waste any time, just picked up the iron nails and started fixing the key places.

After driving more than a dozen nails, Cardin picked up the wooden plow and shook it. He was very satisfied that it was very strong.

Grote suddenly realized that iron nails could be used in this way.

But he immediately had some doubts. This tool was very strange, but Cardin nailed the joints, but there was no nail in the middle.

"Why aren't nails hammered in here? It's still shaking!"

"This is for adjusting the depth of the wooden plow. It cannot be nailed." Cardin shook his head.

The depth of the plowshare can be controlled in the middle of the wooden plow. Some lands are arid and the soil is very solid. If the soil is too deep and the oxen cannot pull it, the wooden plow will be easily damaged.

"Adjusting the depth of the wooden plow?"

Question marks appeared in Grote's head one after another.

Cardin ignored him. If you don't see this kind of thing live, no matter how much nonsense you talk, it will be in vain.

Cardin hits the plowshare!

The size is just right!

Cardin had to sigh, the dwarves were really the gods of forging. Any thing forged by the dwarves would look like it came from the hands of gods.

"done!"

"Zhikou, go to the pasture and lead a copper bull to open up wasteland!" Cardin glanced at Zhikou and found that this guy was talking and laughing with the dwarf craftsman who made the iron blocks, and he had no sense of being a servant at all.

Hear Cardin's instructions.

Chief Finger Button's face instantly became exaggerated, but he didn't dare to say nonsense yet and ran out of the forging shop quickly on his two short legs.

Cardin asked Grote to carry the wooden plow.

"Let's go and show you this magical thing!"

Grete and the many dwarf craftsmen immediately became interested and quickly followed Cardin's pace.

………

About half an hour later!

Only then did he lead a copper bull to Cardin, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Can you still slow down?" Cardin took the reins of the Bronze Ox from his thumb clasp.

"This copper bull doesn't want to leave on its own, what can I do?" Chief Zhikou said in a very aggrieved tone.

The Tongniu refused to walk on the road at all, and he spent a lot of effort to pull it over.

Can you blame me?

Damn quilboar!

"It won't go?"

Cardin took the reins of the Bronze Bull, and the Bronze Bull followed immediately, showing no sign of being unwilling to leave.

When Zhigan saw it, he immediately raised his short leg and kicked the copper bull's hind leg.

Damn beast, even you are teasing me!

hiss………

Before the finger buckle closed the foot, I felt a heartbreaking pain coming from my toe. I hugged my foot and rolled to the ground.

Cardin was speechless, Gretel and the other dwarves laughed, and the wild boar people watching were also amused.

"Are you a joke?"

Cardin stopped paying attention to him, and pulled the copper ox to the wooden plow, put the long plow rope on the plow plate, and then put the curved yoke on the copper ox.

"Groot, come here and pull the cow!"

Grote came over to take the cow with confusion, only to see Cardin say: "I will let you go later, you just pull the cow away!"

"yes!"

Grote nodded and took the reins from Cardin's hand.

Cardin raised the wooden plow and inserted the plowshare into the wasteland.

He looked at Grote and said, "Pull him away!"

Suddenly, the bull moved forward, and the soil on the plowshare rolled directly.

Cardin showed joy, it was a success!

The dwarf craftsman showed a dumbfounded expression, and the finger-button chief was also surprised.

The hundreds of wild boars holding hoes on the side were also shocked.

Soon, the chief created a miraculous thing about farmland that quickly spread to the entire land reclamation team, nearly 3,000 people.

More and more quilboars came after hearing the news, and even Warwick came after hearing the news.

After Warwick saw the function, he suddenly realized that this was how Tongniu was used.

But at the same time, he was also amazed!

Because in less than three minutes, Cardin had already plowed a line along the edge of more than 200 meters of wasteland, and the two men and one ox had already returned.

With this thing, wouldn't the efficiency of farming increase dozens of times?

The more Warwick thought about it, the more he felt that this tool was truly an artifact.

After going back and forth, Cardin stopped.

Grote, who was pulling the ox, was already stunned.

"Sir, this is simply an artifact. With this thing, the cultivated land in the world will change dramatically." Grote said excitedly.

Nowadays, both humans and other races use human power to farm. Even in the human kingdom, there are only a few more slaves to farm the land, but it is still manual farming.

It can be predicted that the emergence of this magical tool called the wooden plow will definitely bring about huge changes in agriculture.

The reason why he was happy was because he made this artifact.

Although it was proposed by his leader Kadan, he believed that in the future, when this kind of wooden plow is known to the world, his name will definitely be missing.

"I'm going to give it a try!"

Grote said excitedly that he wanted to know more about how to use the wooden plow, or to see its shortcomings and improve them. This is the spirit of craftsmanship.

Cardin glanced at the excited Grote, smiled, and handed him the wooden plow by hand.

Immediately, Grote asked a dwarf craftsman to lead the ox and began to plow the field excitedly.

Cardin looked at Grote's back and was very satisfied with the wooden plow, especially for a male copper ox weighing more than one ton. It was very easy to pull the wooden plow.

In this way, this kind of thing can be manufactured on a large scale, and the excess manpower can be used to build other projects.

"Chief, you are truly a descendant of the gods!" Warwick stepped forward and complimented.

It's not a compliment, everything Cardin did in the Storm Tribe surprised him, but after the surprise, he was admired.

Because Cardin always has fantastic ideas, but every piece is very meaningful.

"Warwick, how can you learn to flatter me? This wooden plow is nothing!" Cardin shook his head and said.

After all, this is the wisdom of his ancestors, and he is really embarrassed to apply it to himself.

"By the way, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Cardin asked.

Warwick smiled bitterly, this wooden plow is nothing, so what else in this world is nothing?

However, after hearing the inquiry, Warwick suddenly became serious and said slowly: "Edward sent information, saying... the war... is over!"
