I am a primitive

So even though the person behind who was swinging the 'rudder' stopped his hands and stopped his movements, the sailboat was still slowly gliding forward.

The object he wanted to hit was still the dock in front of him.

The person standing on the bow has already lifted one of his legs.

He was going to wait a little longer until the sailboat got too close to the pier and still couldn’t stop, so he put one foot on the pier and used his own strength to stop the boat, so as not to hit the pier again.

It was at this time that he suddenly discovered that the bow of the ship that was heading straight towards the pier was actually turning slowly, and the direction of the ship's turning was to the right, which was the depth of the river.

In the end, the raised foot of the man did not reach the pier.

When the bow of the boat was less than [-] centimeters away from the pier, it almost turned around completely. Instead of hitting the pier before, it changed to driving towards the river.

The people on the boat couldn't help looking up at the sail, wanting to see if it was because the wind was blowing the sailboat that it turned the sailboat around?

Obviously not, because the small piece of cloth used as a weathervane didn't flutter much at this time.

"It's the rudder!"

Han Cheng on the shore pointed to the fish tail that was tilted to one side, and said aloud.

It was also at this time that he realized that the tail of a fish can not only be used to turn, but can also drive the fish to run forward...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There were no less than ten people, including Han Cheng, standing by the river of the Qingque Tribe.

In the river, sailboats with white sails sailed on the water.

It's just that it is different from relying on wind power to sail in the past. At this time, the sailing of the sailboat basically has nothing to do with the sails and the wind.

The sailor standing at the tail of the sailboat held the 'rudder' made by Han Cheng and others with both hands and shook it back and forth.

With his shaking, the sailboat began to move forward.

At the same time, after such a period of familiarity, this person has become quite proficient in controlling this new type of tool.

In addition, I have previous experience in rowing a boat with a paddle, so I can use this 'rudder' to control the direction of the boat very well.

Lie and others stood on the shore, watching such a scene, grinning from ear to ear.

They felt that they and others had already made the rudder and successfully solved the big problem of steering the sailboat.

Han Cheng also had some smiles on his face, but compared with the smiles of Lie and the others, there were still some differences, which seemed a bit far-fetched.

Because he knows that what he and others are making now is not a rudder, but a tool called a scull.

Although the scull can also control the steering of the ship, its function is obviously not as good as that of the rudder.

Otherwise, in later generations, people would not install rudders to steer large ships, but would use sculls instead.

Oars are obviously not very suitable for installation on sailboats.

Now it seems that it is very good to use it to push the sailboat forward. In fact, the current sailboat is just a model, or a miniature version of the sailboat.

If the boat is small, the scull can naturally push it, but when the boat is big, it will be impossible to use the scull.

However, it is not a bad thing to accidentally discover the scull at this time.

Because in addition to sailboats, there are other small boats in the tribe.

It is not suitable to install oars on sailboats, but it does not mean that it is not appropriate to install oars on other small boats.

After waiting, let someone make some sculls and install them on the slightly modified ships in the tribe.

In this way, in the Time Tribe, there will not only be boats propelled by oars, but also boats propelled by sculls.

As for the rudder...

Han Cheng's gaze once again turned to the sailboat running forward under the propulsion of the scull in the river, with some smiles on his face.

After going through the initial confusion when the rudder turned into a scull, Han Cheng's thinking has become clear at this time.

This device, which was born out of a fish tail, now looks like a real fish tail, and has two functions.

One is to push the boat forward, and the other is to turn.

On a galleon, the first function is basically not used.

Because I don't know how big the scull is to be able to push the big sailboat forward.

So what needs to be done now is to further improve on the existing basis, remove the first function, and only keep the second steering function.

After thinking like this in his heart for a while, and carefully smoothing out his thoughts, Han Cheng felt that there was no other problem. He looked at Lie and the others, and told them what he had considered and known.

Of course, when saying these things, the words used are of course carefully thought out, what should be said, and what should not be said is naturally not revealed.

After hearing what Shenzi Han said, the lame waited for the joy to realize that what he and others made was not a rudder, but a scull, and it was far from what Shenzi wanted to achieve. difference.

But even so, Lai and the others still feel very happy.

Because through this busy work, even if they didn't get the expected results, they still got a lot of things. These things will bring a lot of changes to the tribe and bring a lot of convenience.

Seeing everyone's joy, Han Cheng's mood also became more comfortable. He really appreciates the mentality of everyone in the tribe...

Here in the distant Jinguan City, there are no hibiscus blooming like a brocade group, but there are many gourd stands with white flowers.

The gourd is a good thing, whether it is made into a scoop or hollowed out to make other containers, it is very good.

Also, some gourds are still edible.

When it is not yet an elder, pick it off and wash it, whether it is cut into slices to cook vegetable soup, or cut into shreds and soaked in boiling water, pulled out with cold water, and then cooled, it is very good.

Of course, the premise is that you need to choose the right gourd.

Not all gourds are suitable for eating.

Because of the species, some gourds can be chewed when they are tender, but they are extremely bitter and not suitable for eating.

Only those gourds that are not bitter or slightly bitter can be eaten.

It is not very easy to distinguish between them.

However, this kind of thing can't stop the people of the Qingque tribe who have a strong desire to eat.

In front of a large group of foodies, this is not an issue at all. Those gourds that look no different from the non-bitter gourds are clearly arranged.
