Chapter 1186 is still not enough effort
Standing on the side of the mountain road, Liu Wei watched the men push the stones and climb up the hillside with difficulty.
The back of the previous group of men had not disappeared from his sight, and a man ran down the hillside quickly.
The man carried a large bundle of hemp rope and ran down the hillside, constantly letting go of the hemp rope and laying it on the wooden path along the way.
The hemp rope he laid on the wooden path was divided into three strands, each of which was independent of each other and was not entangled with each other.
Looking at this scene, Liu Wei already understood that on the hillside, there must be a tool for pulling the hemp rope, once the man put the rope below to send the stone, the three strands of hemp rope will be tied to the stone respectively.
With the traction of the three strands of hemp rope, transporting the stones up the mountain is really much less labor-saving than pushing it up the mountain by manpower.
Even if one of the ropes is broken and the other two ropes are pulled, it is impossible for the stone to roll down the mountain, causing unnecessary casualties.
Thinking about this, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth.
The people who built the Fengzen platform and gathered them actually knew how to use ropes to pull on the way to transport stones to improve efficiency.
Very curious about the traction tools used by the people, Liu Wei beckoned to Pang Tong and the others on the side: "I'll wait and see what they use to pull the rope." ”
The team is still halfway up the mountain, and if you don't hurry up, it will be difficult to reach the top of the mountain even if the sun sets.
But Liu Wei proposed to go and see what tools the people used, and Pang Tong and the others did not dare to disobey, so they had to answer, follow him, and walk along the wooden road to the hillside.
The reason why I decided to see what tools the people were using was because Liu Wei had already figured out what the people were doing.
If the rope is too long to pull the stone in this way, it will be more laborious because the force distance is too far.
The tool for pulling the rope must be not far from above!
Knowing this in his heart, Liu Wei, accompanied by Pang Tong and others, went all the way up the wooden road.
After walking about two or three hundred steps, they saw the men they had met earlier sitting by the wooden path and resting.
And behind those men, there were also a few other shirtless men, gritting their teeth and dragging the rope up.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wei smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed upward, and said to Pang Tong and the others: "What, this king said that the things they use to pull ropes are not far from here. ”
Looking at the few men in front of him who were pulling the rope hard, Pang Tong said to Liu Wei: "I heard that His Highness built a waterwheel back then, and this kind of carving insect skill must be nothing in the eyes of His Highness!" ”
"It's not a small insect carving skill!" Shaking his head, Liu Wei said to Pang Tong as he walked: "It's just that those few people pull the ropes, and the strength they use is really not small, and it is still very rough to think about things here!" ”
Listening to Liu Wei's words, Pang Tong didn't say anything, and Wang Liu, Wang Zhen, Deng Zhan and others behind him looked at the few men who were pulling the rope with some confusion.
The men dragged the hemp rope, and with each force, the muscles in the arms would clump together.
When they pulled the rope hard, they gritted their teeth and let out a muffled grunt, and before pulling the rope, they would let out a trumpet in unison, putting all their strength together.
From the expressions of the men, it can indeed be seen that when they pull the rope, the strength they exert is really not small.
followed Liu Wei and walked towards the men who were pulling the ropes.
Pushing the stones up the mountain, several men who were sitting on the side resting at this time saw that they followed again, and the man who had just spoken to Liu Wei stood up and greeted them.
"A few generals, it's really not appropriate to move around here, please ......" When Liu Wei and the others approached, the man clasped his fists and saluted everyone, and his demeanor was very humble to remind them that both sides of the wooden road were very unsafe.
"I just feel that dragging the stone up the mountain like this takes a lot of effort." Holding his fists and arching towards the man, Liu Wei looked at the few men who were pulling the ropes, and said, "Maybe you can help think of a way, which can save more effort." ”
In front of the few men who were pulling the rope hard, there was a solid wooden frame.
In the middle of the wooden frame, there is a thick wooden pole horizontally.
The rope they are holding is on the wooden pole, and with the help of the supporting force of the wooden pole, it has the effect of saving labor.
The wooden pole is fixed between the two wooden frames, although it can play a certain role in saving labor, due to the friction of the wooden pole itself, the utility is also reduced a lot.
Bypassing the man, Liu Wei walked to the side of the man who was pulling the rope hard.
Seeing that a few Qin army generals came closer, several men had the heart to stop what they were doing and salute them, but they knew that once they let go, the people pushing the stones below would have to suffer a lot.
Without traction from above, it is simply impossible to push the stone up the hill by relying on the thrust below.
glanced at Liu Wei and the others, the men were still pulling the rope hard, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.
Standing beside the wooden frame, watching the men pulling the ropes, Liu Wei whispered to Pang Tong on the side and asked, "Shi Yuan can know, how to improve it, you can save more effort?" ”
"I don't know!" Shaking his head, Pang Tong smiled and said: "Building a wooden frame saves a lot of effort, and I don't know how to save more effort!" ”
"If you make a roller ...... the wooden pole in the middle" The corners of his mouth pulled up a slight smile, and Liu Wei asked Pang Tong: "What will happen then?" ”
Hearing him say this, Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then slapped the door of his head violently, and suddenly said: "In this way, when the rope is pulled, the roller also rotates, which is really more labor-saving!" ”
"I'll make one later!" As he spoke, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Wang Liu: "Go and call some people to come over, get some wood, I'll wait and make a wooden frame, let the villagers give it a try!" ”
When Liu Wei and Pang Tong and others were talking, the men on the side were silent.
They looked at Liu Wei and the others one by one, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
This kind of wooden frame was built to carry large stones from the bottom of the mountain, and it was finally decided after many discussions.
In the process of use, the men have deeply realized its usefulness.
Since the wooden frame has been put into use, it is really much easier to transport the stone than first.
The generals in front of them in armor, as soon as they arrived here, said that the wooden frame was still not enough to save effort, and it was better to make a roller in the middle, which made these people feel a little guilty in their hearts.
However, after all, Liu Wei and the others were wearing armor, and the people could see that their status was noble, and they did not dare to have any objections, not to mention, Liu Wei did not say that he wanted them to help build a new wooden frame.
Rich and noble people always play some lewd things outside.
They can play however they want, and at most, after the new wooden frame is erected, give them some face, and try it out for the time being.
If it doesn't work, you won't use it in the future.
As for the direct refusal, the people did not think about it.
Although Great Qin is very strict with officials bullying the people, they can go against the officials, and these people really haven't thought about it.
Wang Liu ran to call for someone to come and help cut down the trees and prepare to build a wooden frame, while Liu Wei and the others stood aside and watched the few people pull the ropes hard.
The people were covered in sweat, and although the weather was still very cold, there were already beads of sweat oozing from their spines and chests.
Striding onto the wooden road, standing behind the people, Liu Wei picked up the rope from the ground and dragged it hard.
Deng Zhan and the others saw him helping the people pull the ropes, and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but Liu Wei glared at them before they could speak.
The people who were glared at swallowed the words that came to their lips again.
But after all, they didn't dare to stand aside and watch King Qin help the people pull the ropes, but they were indifferent, and they all jumped on the wooden road one by one.
The actions of Liu Wei and others surprised the people who were dragging the ropes.
Turning his head to look at them, the group of people was stunned for a moment, and one of them said to them in a panic: "Several generals, you can't do it!" I'll do this kind of heavy work later! ”
"I'm just helping out, the villagers work all day, it's really hard!" While pulling the rope hard, Liu Wei said to a few men: "I'll use some strength, and the villagers will save a little light!" ”
Wearing golden armor, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary person.
Although the man was terrified, he did not dare to disobey Liu's defense, so he had to confess his guilt, and when he dragged the rope, he exerted more strength than before.
Several people who were originally sitting on the side to rest, saw Liu Wei and others jumping on the wooden road to help pull the rope, but they didn't dare to sit down anymore, they jumped up one after another and stepped forward to help.
Behind the wooden frame, the number of people who pulled the rope was twice as strong as before, and at the bottom of the hillside, several people who were pushing the stone suddenly felt a loosening of their hands, and even if they did not exert their strength, the stone was jumping upward.
Everyone worked together, and it didn't take long for Liu Wei to see a few people pushing stones up the mountain under the hillside.
"Come on, keep up!" Seeing the man pushing the stone appeared under the hillside, Liu Wei shouted, and when he pulled the rope, he used more strength.
When he shouted, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they increased their strength a little more.
Originally, a few people who were pushing stones up the mountain, but they couldn't adapt to it, and they followed the stones one by one, almost running up the mountain.
As soon as he arrived on the hillside, a man with a gray beard on his chin saw Liu Wei and the others.
After being stunned for a moment, the man slammed his fist on his thigh, complained about the few people who were pulling the rope and said: "Transporting stones, I can wait, how dare you bother the generals to do it?" ”
