Chapter 161 Cart
After Hu Shan and the other man left, Su Ling went to the City Lord's Mansion to find a backpack, put a few pieces of iron ore and gems in it, and thought to herself: I will study these iron ores carefully when I have time; as for those gems, although they are very beautiful, they seem to have no practical use at the moment, so I might as well take them home as decorations.
At this moment, Hu Lie walked up to her and said, "Su Ling, I have finished the inventory here."
Su Ling heard this and asked quickly, "The inventory has been completed, so how is the harvest this time?"
Hu Lie replied, "Not bad. There are a total of 532 beasts, of which 366 are dead. We have already arranged for them to be sent to where they should be."
Su Ling nodded and continued, "Well, the smokehouse at the food processing site has been repaired two days ago. We can start processing the beasts as long as we send them over. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we must hurry up. How about this, you can assign a few more people to help there tomorrow, and try to process all the beast meat as soon as possible."
Hu Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Hu Luo came to see me this morning and said that his cart is ready. He asked you to come and have a look when you are free."
"Really? Then I'll go take a look later. If there's no problem, let Hushan and the others take it this time. It will be too inconvenient to not let them carry heavy objects." Su Ling said with a smile.
Su Ling and his friends asked Hu Luo to make the cart after they came back from the trading market. It was not finished when Hu Yi and his friends went hunting, so they could not take it with them. It just so happened that it was finished when Hu Shan and his friends brought back the prey this time, so they can take it with them then.
In this way, not only can more goods be transported more conveniently, but after the coal is dug, it can also be transported by carts. We can't rely entirely on those baskets to carry it, as that will take an eternity.
"Well, do you want me to accompany you to take a look?" Hu Lie asked.
"No need," Su Ling pointed at the coal on the ground, "This basket is coal. Find a few people to carry it down, and then notify the team that collected the wax worms yesterday, and ask them to get ready and set off with Hushan and the others to dig coal."
"I really found it! Great, I'll arrange it right away." Hu Lie said excitedly. They used charcoal to keep warm in the cold season and already knew the benefits of charcoal. Ever since Su Ling asked the tribesmen to look for coal, everyone was looking forward to finding something that could keep warm like charcoal. Now that they finally found it, how could they not be excited?
"Okay, then you go and arrange it. I'll go to Hu Luo first to check out the situation." Su Ling nodded. She was still very confident in Hu Lie's ability to do things. After all, he was very capable.
"Okay." Hu Lie responded, then turned and left.
Su Ling put on her backpack and walked towards the production workshop where Hu Luo worked.
Hu Luo's production workshop is in the same area as other production workshops. It takes about half an hour to walk from the square.
When Su Ling arrived, she saw the yard full of cart frames. Hu Luo was assembling wheels with several workers.
"Su Ling, you're here!" Hu Luo saw Su Ling coming and immediately put down the work in his hands, handed it over to his workers, and walked quickly to Su Ling, "Come on, there is an assembled cart on the other side, I'll take you to see it."
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Su Ling said with a smile, and followed Hu Luo to the other side of the cart.
Coming to the assembled cart, Hu Luo said excitedly: "I used iron steel wood to make the cart. This wood is extremely hard and very suitable for making carts. I tried it yesterday and it can pull eight beasts weighing 300 kilograms at the same time, and it is easy and stable to drive. But this is only the weight we can pull at present. If we replace it with orcs with stronger strength, we can pull more weight."
The body of the cart has been specially treated and enlarged, because if it is manufactured according to the normal size of Blue Star, it will not be able to meet the actual needs of the orcs.
The size of the truck was three times the size of the flatbed truck Su Ling had seen on Blue Star. If it weren't for the fact that it might need to be towed to the wild where the road conditions were poor and the truck body couldn't be made too large, Hu Luo would have even wanted to make it bigger.
The wheels are made of mortise and tenon wood. This structure is very strong and can ensure stability on rough roads. In addition, the hardness and toughness of the mortise and tenon wood itself make the wheels have good wear resistance and pressure resistance, and can adapt to various harsh environments.
After Su Ling checked it carefully, she put some heavy objects on the cart and had someone transform into an animal to pull it around. The cart was full of goods, weighing at least two thousand kilograms, but the orc pulling the cart did not find it very strenuous and walked very easily.
"In the past, the beastmen could only carry six baskets at most, and each basket could hold a maximum of 200 to 200 kilograms of weight. But now we have changed to a cart, which can carry a maximum of 3,000 kilograms, and a minimum of 2,000 kilograms. This saves us half the manpower, and with the extra manpower, we can do more work." Hu Luo said excitedly. His eyes were shining with excitement, as if he saw a bright future.
"Well, it can indeed free up more manpower, so that everyone doesn't have to spend more time running back and forth on the road." Su Ling nodded with satisfaction, expressing her agreement. She understood that this innovation would greatly improve transportation efficiency and make life in the tribe more convenient. "How many vehicles can be assembled tomorrow? The hunting team will set off early the day after tomorrow." Su Ling asked with concern, staring at Hu Luo, expecting him to give a definite answer.
Hu Luo lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at Su Ling with a hint of apology in his eyes: "The time is too short. We will try to work overtime in the next two days, and we can only assemble ten cars at most." He knew that his ability was limited, but he also tried his best to achieve better results.
"Let's do this first. Assemble ten vehicles first, and have the hunting team take them the day after tomorrow. After they are assembled, we can have someone deliver them."
The team of orcs digging coal will definitely come back earlier than the hunting team, so we can let them take the newly assembled carts back with them.
"Okay, then I'll go back and continue assembling it." Hu Luo nodded.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. After you are done with this work, you can take a two-day rest." Su Ling said.
Hearing Su Ling say this, Hu Luo hurriedly shook his head: "No, we are used to it, and, as you know, we like our current life very much, and every day is very fulfilling, so we don't feel tired."
Seeing Hu Luo's serious expression, Su Ling was somewhat touched. She smiled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't force you. But you still have to take care of your body and don't get too tired."
"Don't worry, we know what we are doing." Hu Luo smiled and turned back to the place where the cart was assembled.
