C613 Wooden Rubber Skin

The matter of leather stunned Tuoba Tian'er again.

The North Wei did not only stand at the top in terms of wood.

The key was in terms of the leather, it was also very strong!

After all, a large forest with cold weather meant that the fur business was very good and the business was good. The technology involved was naturally higher.

In fact, in terms of wood and leather, the North Wei was already much stronger than the Qin Country. It could even be said that they could not be mentioned in the same breath.

But now...

This was the first time she had seen someone stick the leather onto the wheels.

More importantly, it was the first time she saw someone make something so sticky from the leather!

What is this?

How could the leather stick to the wood?

That didn't make sense.

In her opinion, it was no different from using saliva to stick two pieces of paper. At first, it was alright, but when the saliva dried up, as long as it was gently torn, the two pieces of paper would be separated.

But after Xiao Yun stuck them together and waited for it to cool down for a while, he used a heavy object to press down for a while and then used force to tear them apart. He actually... could not tear them off at all!

What exactly was going on?!

She could clearly see every step that Xiao Yun had taken, but she could not understand every single one of them.

She took a deep breath and recollected her thoughts.

It was better to ask him about the blockhead first.

This was the thing she was most proud of, and logically speaking, she shouldn't lose.

Thus, she told him about the wood in the North Wei.

Xiao Yun was helpless. He could only stop what he was doing and turn his head to look at her.

Then he said, "A thousand year old wood. Do you know what the characteristics of these wood are?"

"Ah? Characteristics... are good, especially good!"

"Yes, it's definitely good, but it's good. It's not suitable for anything. Let me ask you one thing. Do the wheels in your North Wei often crack?"

"This..."

Tuoba Tian'er thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It will crack, but it is not a big deal."

"When those wheels walk, is it very bumpy?"

"This... is still okay."

"Are those wheels especially heavy? If they get stuck in something, it'll be troublesome?"

"That's... true."

"Also, as long as it rains in the dark, or passes through mud and water, you need to immediately clean the wheels. Otherwise, when the water is dry, it will immediately crack?"

"How do you know?"

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Wooden wood that is made of thousands of years old, its characteristics are that it grows slowly. The growth rings are very thin and dense, which causes the density of the trees to be very high. It's also very hard. What about the density? You don't really understand it, to put it simply, it's just throwing a piece of wood into the water, some of the wood will sink. Some wood will float up, right? Wood that was made from thousands of years of age would mostly sink into the water, so this kind of wood was also called Sinking Water Wood. Right?"

"This..."

Tuoba Tian'er searched her stomach for a while before she nodded and said," There seems to be such a saying. "

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This kind of wood, its characteristics are hard! Scratch it. Or a simple bump will not cause serious deformation immediately. Furthermore, this kind of wood has very high oil, so it has some advantages in insect defense. It also had some advantages in resisting water splash. But that's all there is to it. "

" Such good wood, why does it only have this little advantage in your mouth? "

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. In these wood, there are different types of wood. There are different characteristics, some wood, and some special insect repellents. Some wood, especially not easy to burn, and some wood. And it was especially difficult to deform, and it was not easy to crack. But... It was very hard to find a wood that took all the advantages, such as those that were resistant to insects and erosion. It might be very easy to deform, and some of the oil was very high. They were very hard, but their natural patterns were not good. They were slightly damp. However, because the veined patterns were not complete, they would crack along the veined patterns. Thus, there are all sorts of cracks. "

He drank a mouthful of warm water and smacked his lips. He continued, "Take the North Wei Agarwood for example. It's really a good thing. Not to mention the natural fragrance, this scent is even more effective against all kinds of insects. It also has another characteristic, which is that after careful grinding, a layer of soft glow will appear on its surface. It was especially beautiful, and more importantly, it would not easily change shape... As long as one carefully took care of a piece of wood, it could even remain undeformed for a thousand years! The compression would not decrease, so when combined with all its advantages, the most suitable thing to do was to make furniture, even in the Qin Country. Whoever had a set of furniture from the North Wei Qinan could be considered to be extremely wealthy. The best quality of it is even more valuable than gold, right? "

Tuoba Tian'er had a proud look on her face. Humph!" Hmph, at least you have some knowledge!"

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly. "But the North Wei Agarwood has a fatal flaw. This also leads to... it is too hard to serve. Very few people use it to make tables. Even if someone used it, they would not understand. Just remember how precious it is and show off. "

"What flaws?"

"It is too afraid of water! "

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "The North Wei Qinan was first known by carpenters as the Splash Green. The Qinan was originally yellow and brown, but it also had some red light. It was extremely beautiful. However, if it splashed water, it would not be much. It would only drop a drop. Then, where the drop of water fell, black spots would appear. Even if it was immediately dried, it would only reduce the depth of the black spots. There were still some. You use a teacup to drink water. If you don't put something on it... When you pick up the teacup, a circle of black lines will appear on the table. If you accidentally spilled the tea cup, it will be exciting. The place where the water flowed was pitch black! Want to raise it back? It's almost impossible, unless you grind down a layer."

" This... seems to be the case. "

"So even if it's as precious as the North Wei Agarwood, it's only suitable to be used as a wardrobe. Or a dressing table, especially some jewelry boxes and other small and exquisite things. It can also maintain items at all times. If it was placed in a wet place, it would have been hard to tell what it was at that time. But once it dried up, it would not just be black. It directly cracked open! It will crack from head to tail, am I right?"

" That's true. "

"What would happen if I used your North Wei's Agarwood to build the ship? "

"Ah? Who would be so stupid to use it to build a boat? Doesn't that mean that the boat will sink when it comes to water? "

Xiao Yun shrugged and said," This is only an extreme example, but from this example, you should know what is appropriate, right? Wood is different from other things. Everything needs to be suitable. Some wood is very good, but it really isn't suitable to be used to make wheels."

"What kind of wood is suitable for making wheels? Your wheels... you obviously have a big piece of wood that can be made into a round shape... Why do you have to get these few pieces here? You even have to use such a complicated method to get them all together. Isn't this just plain work?"

Xiao Yun laughed and said," You look at the wheel too simply. On this wheel... Even if I simplify it to the point that it can't be simplified anymore, there must be four different materials. And the wood at the edge, no matter what, can't reach the ball in my heart. That's why I used some special methods to make it slightly softer."

Tuoba Tian'er's eyes turned and she came over and said, "Then tell me in detail."

"This is because... Uh, why should I say it?"

"Eh? Don't be so petty. "

"Please, we are enemies. You are a spy of the North Wei."

"Tsk, don't say it so badly. Besides, we can't get out now. It's still unknown whether we can get out of here for the rest of our lives. Just treat it as having nothing to do. There's no harm talking about it."

Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that Tuoba Tian'er wanted to get his core technique.

But... at this time, it was indeed quite boring.

Moreover, he also wanted to suppress Tuoba Tian'er's spirit, so that she would not always think that the North Wei was so amazing. Her thoughts were deeply rooted. After all, this was the education that she had received since she was young.

Xiao Yun coughed twice.1

He said carefully, "First of all..."

He pointed at a thick piece of wood in the middle of the wheel. There was a hole in the middle.

"This is called a wheel, you can also call it a wheel. No matter what wheel it is, the wheel is in the middle, the center axis piercing through the heart, the axis stable and the wheel moving. The wheel will turn, and the horse carriage will be able to move forward"

"Is there a single name for this?"

"Of course! Every part has its own name... Cough cough. By the way, you don't even know this?"

Tuoba Tian'er blushed and immediately said," Of course I know, but... I just didn't think of it for a moment. "
