Chapter 582: Great Benefactor
Sometimes the advancement of civilization does not require advanced technology, and occasionally a flash of inspiration can solve a big problem, just like determining the direction of a big tree when logging, Shen Long knows more than one solution.
For example, you can let people climb to the top of the tree with a rope, and use the rope to tie the treetop. As long as the length of the rope is more than twice the length of the big tree, and when the time is right, let people pull the rope hard, and you can ensure that the big tree If the tree wants it to fall that way, it will fall that way. There is absolutely no need to worry about accidents.
However, this method is a bit troublesome. Shen Long planned to adopt a simpler method. He didn't rush to cut down the tree first, but went to the stump that was cut down just now, swung the ax to chop off a piece of wood, and then After a little processing, a wooden wedge with a thin front and a thick back is made.
Borrow a big saw again, saw the tree on the side close to the bottom of the mountain until one-third of the diameter of the tree stops, take out the saw and saw it diagonally downwards above the cross-saw cut, forming a "V"-shaped gap, and turn it again. Go to the side close to the mountain, use a saw to cut a sawing kerf not exceeding a quarter of the diameter, and then drive the newly made wedge into the sawing kerf, and drive the wedge in with the back of the ax while sawing, and wait for the feeling At about the same time, the saw is drawn out, and the wooden wedge is finally hit hard.
Seeing Shen Long's behavior, the woodworker couldn't figure out what he was going to do, and he watched the commotion and booed. The old one-armed man had been in the woodyard for many years, and vaguely saw some tricks, so he cursed twice to make these people shut up. mouth, and then watched Shen Long's movements without blinking his eyes.
"Fall along the mountain~~~" Following Shen Long's shout, the big tree hugged by one person really fell down along the mountain according to Shen Long's call, and the surrounding people were motionless, without any influence .
This is the wedge positioning method in logging techniques, which can ensure that the big tree falls in the opposite direction of the wedge. The previous method is called the rope control method, and there is another method called the jack falling method, which is similar to the wedge positioning method. , the only difference is to saw a rectangular gap just enough to put the jack on the back of the big tree, and then use the jack to push the big tree down in the planned direction.
The rope control method is not good for trees that are too thick, and the old one-armed ones must not have jacks, so Shen Long took out the wooden wedge positioning method, which he saw in a movie, but he did not expect it to be here. It came in handy.
"This method...seems to work!" Waiting for the dust from the big tree to fall to settle, the guys in the woodyard started talking.
"Yes, if we learn this skill, we won't have to worry about chopping wood in the future." Someone echoed.
The old one-armed man rushed to Shen Long in three steps at a time, grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Brother, where did you learn this method?"
"I saw it in an old book, but I didn't remember it before, but I suddenly remembered it when I saw you felling trees." Shen Long made an excuse casually.
"You can still read? There is even this thing in the book?" The old one-armed man was very surprised.
There are so many useful things in the book, there is also how to build a chainsaw that can turn itself, and even a way to make a large-scale logging machine. When a car drives to the edge of a big tree, the mechanical claws stretch out to hoop Living at the root of a big tree, and then sawing off a big tree, cleaning the branches and leaves, sawing off the treetops and turning them into rough logs in a few minutes, this efficiency is infinitely higher than yours.
After being surprised, the old one-armed man begged Shen Long, "Brother, it is reasonable to say that this is a skill you learned. I really shouldn't say this, but every year many people in our mountain farm are killed by big trees. After learning your skills, the big guys don't have to worry about being smashed into meat."
"come over,
Come over here. "Old One Arm is a man of good manners, and he can't do things like stealing others' skills, so he greeted all the woodworkers together, "Kneel down with me, kowtow to the Zhu brothers, and beg him to teach us craft. "
No matter what these people thought of Shen Long yesterday, the hand he just showed could really save lives, and immediately he knelt down for Shen Long in the snow without saying a word.
Shen Long quickly stopped the old one-armed man, "Get up quickly, sir, aren't you taking my life away? How old am I, can I bear such a heavy gift?"
"Based on this kung fu, you can bear the sound of your head. For you, this may be a sentence that you occasionally read in the book, but for the young and old in our woodyard, it is life-saving. Means." The old one-armed man wanted to kneel down for Shen Long, but he couldn't beat Shen Long.
"You kindly took me in yesterday, which is equivalent to saving my life. If you want to learn this little trick, I will teach you now." Shen Long just wanted to form a good relationship with the old one-armed man, but he didn't expect him to be so big. Reaction.
He kind of forgot, now is not the future, if you want to learn something, you just need to search on the Internet. At this time, if you want to learn some crafts, it is extremely difficult. Don’t look at this inconspicuous thing. Well, many people regard it as a housekeeping skill, pass it on from male to female, even if they have to accept an apprentice, they often leave the secret before they die.
In the past, there were many ways to test and bully apprentices, but no one would easily hand over such useful things.
With great difficulty, Shen Long stopped them from kowtowing, helped the big guy up, found another big tree, and taught the old one-armed them the secret of the wooden wedge positioning method word by word.
To put it bluntly, this thing is very simple. It is nothing more than the ratio of the two saws and a few wooden wedges.
"It's not suitable to use wet wood for this wooden wedge, it's better to use dry hardwood, that's the best." Shen Long pointed out.
"Well, that's the reason. Wet wood is not as strong as dry hardwood. There is nothing else in our mountain yard. There are plenty of wood." The old one-armed man nodded and replied, "I remember there are a few good iron trees, Go back at night and work hard to saw a few more wooden wedges out, and the big brother will help us palm the eyes to see which size is suitable for sawing."
Tsk, iron wood is used for this? Is it too extravagant? Shen Long grinned and didn't know what to say.
"Brother Zhu, you are the great benefactor of our woodyard, don't say anything, don't be in a hurry to cut logs today, just walk around for me, and find some flying dragon birds, Hericium erinaceus for Brother Zhu Come try something new." The old one-armed man didn't even do serious work.
"I didn't say anything, I saw one at the back of the mountain a few days ago, and it shouldn't have run far away now." All the woodworkers responded in unison, dropped their axes and saws, disappeared into the depths of the jungle, and went to find Shen Long, the great benefactor. The food went.
