"Huh?" Several people turned their heads to look at him together, and then turned their heads together to look at the place where Jiang Dongchen had just finished measuring.

Then, Jiang Dongchen looked at Xu Wen's hand and where he was standing.

His hands are empty, and he doesn't have any tools, that's all, some people are born with a special sensitivity to the length of distance, people need to use a ruler to measure, they can see it at a glance.

Not long after entering the Jingying Mansion, Wang Yiding Wang, who received the emperor's favor and was directly promoted to the Ministry of Works, is such a genius.

It's not a problem to be able to judge the length with the naked eye, but the key is that the position where Xu Wen is standing now just happens to be stuck in his field of vision, how did he see this distance?

"Don't talk nonsense, don't think that you can be unscrupulous just because you're young. How do you know if the distance is 6-foot-7 and not 6-foot-8?"

Xu Wen paused and smiled slightly: "Calculate it." ”

Jiang Wangfeng and their first team took over the task, Xu Wen helped to take a look, and found that there was really no need to do it himself, so he left there with the enthusiasm of his teammates, and "wandered" in the Dragon Temple alone.

Xu Wen learned the skills of cartography and modeling in modern times. The study time is not long, but it is very systematic and complete, and with various modern tools, his theoretical understanding is no longer a problem at all.

Outside the Dragon Temple, he suddenly has a new ability - "What you see is what you get".

Everything he saw could be turned into a complete modeling drawing in front of his eyes, and he could even stretch out his hand and draw it on paper, with accurate structure and complete details.

Therefore, in essence, these tasks jointly issued by the Jingying Mansion and the "Moon Age Team" did not have much significance to him. To be able to finish winning over there is at most to get some money and have a brighter face, these are all things outside of his body, and they are not what he urgently needs now.

What he urgently needs now is practical surveying and mapping experience that matches these theories, as well as comprehensive and systematic knowledge about large trees.

What he said to Di Lin was not a lie, even Tianqing completely taught him only the things that were in the aspect of fine wood, from the basic eighteen skills to the high-level application skills and so on, even Tianqing taught everything, which is also the core reason why Xu Wen was able to pass the three apprenticeship tests so quickly.

But related to Damu, he also taught some things that were located at the critical points on both sides, such as finches and some dougongs, and he almost didn't mention anything more in-depth.

Most of Xu Wen's knowledge of this knowledge still comes from modern times.

Next time I go back, shouldn't I go to the library and find some architectural materials?

Xu Wen had thought about it before.

And the Dragon Temple in front of him is an excellent opportunity for Xu Wen to observe and practice.

The modeling that came to his mind combined with the reality in front of him, and he could see with his own eyes how the wood was built and how the various structures interacted beyond the rigid numbers and lines.

He suddenly had some inspiration.

He suddenly felt that it might be a good thing that even Tianqing didn't teach him relevant things right away.

Is the name of each piece of wood on the bucket arch and the unique name of each type of bucket arch very important?

Maybe, but it's just a code name after all.

The meaning of the existence of code names is to better communicate with others.

But aside from the meaning of communication, if you just observe and learn by yourself, the name is useless, and what is useful is something more essential, such as the way the wood bears the load, and the way the structure expands the space......

That's the essence of architecture.

The building itself is functional, it is for the purpose of dwelling people, sacrifices, or some other function, in short, it is useful.

This "usefulness" is the room for Xu Wen to understand the analysis, and it is also the core key that the modeling diagram in front of him can express.

Therefore, Xu Wen just seemed to be looking around aimlessly, but in fact, every time he looked at it, he saw the logic of the building, the reasons for the existence of each component, and the interaction between them.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the wisdom of the ancients was so ingenious, that every design here was useful, that there was no link that could not be used, and that there was no island design that was not connected with the surroundings. The beauty of numbers and symmetry between various structures, distances, and angles fascinated Xu Wen and completely immersed him.

It was precisely because of such a relationship in the numbers that Xu Wen discovered Jiang Dongchen's mistake for the first time, and subconsciously blurted it out.

At that time, he didn't even look at the numbers marked on the model, and only looked at it again after exiting, which was a comparison.

"Calculated?" Jiang Dongchen's tone was not good. He looked at it for a long time and determined that Xu Wen's angle would definitely not be able to see the distance he had measured just now.

"Don't say too much, measure it again. As soon as Di Lin stretched out his hand to stop him, he glanced at Xu Wen and said to Jiang Dongchen.

"Old Di ......" Jiang Dongchen just wanted to protest, but when he touched Di Lin's eyes, he reluctantly closed his mouth and picked up the rope in his hand again.

For this kind of measurement, they do not use a ruler directly, but a specially made rope.

The rope has been repeatedly soaked in a special potion in Jingyingfu, and it has no elasticity, and the length will not change when it is repeatedly straightened and measured.

A knot is tied at each foot of the rope and used as a marker, so that it looks very intuitive, and you can basically tell how long the rope is. The length of an inch can be seen at a glance by experienced craftsmen, and as long as they have experience, they do not need too high a talent.

- But Jiang Dongchen himself forgot how much length was left after six feet just now.

He tied the rope to the first shun, climbed up on the scaffolding to the wall, and pulled the rope through at the same time.

The rope was released one by one, and everyone was watching.

One section is one foot, two sections are two feet, and three sections are three feet......

Unconsciously, Jiang Dongchen became a little nervous.

Am I mistaken? It's a bit of a shame, it's too low-level.

But thinking about the position Xu Wen was in just now, he was a little relieved.

That position is absolutely impossible to see the distance he is measuring, as for what he said, what is it? Jiang Dongchen has been in Jingying Mansion for three years, and he has never heard of it!

Four sections of four feet, five sections of five feet, six sections of six feet.

Finally, within the visible eye of the naked eye, the remaining distance was less than a foot.

At this time, Jiang Dongchen's hand froze.

He stared at the remaining distance of less than a foot, and did not move.

Di Lin let out a sigh and said to Jiang Dongchen, "Go on." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Dongchen replied sullenly, pulled the rope over, tied it with another leather rope, and recorded the final length.

Then, he returned to his position, untied the inelastic rope, pulled it to his side and measured it with a ruler.

The atmosphere around Jiang Dongchen was a little dull, but his series of actions were done in an orderly manner and very calmly.

Finally, he looked at the length of the ruler and said calmly: "Six feet seven, I was wrong." ”

He looked at Xu Wen condescendingly, thought about it, climbed down from it again, saluted, and said, "It's my mistake, thank you for pointing it out, otherwise you can only wait until the retest." ”

"Re-test, will you re-measure?" asked Xu Wen.

"Yes, exchange positions with each other and retest, and if there is anything that does not match, it will be handled by the craftsman, and he will send a third person to check. Jiang Dongchen confessed honestly.

It would be a shame if such a low-level mistake was known to the craftsman......

Of course, he didn't know it yet, and they also had a mistake on the drawing, which was already known to the craftsman.

"Actually, one inch or two inches, it doesn't need to be so precise. "Among the members of the Beijing group who have not been silent, there is a person named Kong Xiang.

He glanced at Xu Wen disapprovingly and said, "The Dragon Temple looks quite remarkable in this small place in Jincheng, and it is nothing at all in some other places. The Ministry of Industry sent us to measure this, so that we could make another copy of it in the capital inch by inch? How is it possible? That is, to leave a style for some reference, why do you do it so accurately?"

Is that why you make mistakes so often?

Xu Wen was a little disappointed in Jingying Mansion.

Measuring and calculating the length is the basic skill of the craftsman, and the first lesson of the Ximo team on the road is to play the line setting game to determine each person's ability in this regard, and then the accuracy of the numbers is also emphasized a lot.

A newly formed team with talented apprentices as the main body is like this, Jingyingfu is a royal craftsman, and it is the first craftsman organization of the Great Zhou, and the result is at this level?

But now that he finally knew, attitude determined the result, and the people of Jingying Mansion didn't regard these tasks as really worth being meticulous from the beginning.

Maybe for them, getting more points than the newcomers of the West Desert team may be a little more important.

The Dragon Temple is indeed very good, but of course it can't be compared with the imperial palace or something, as far as the system is concerned, the Jingying Mansion has been very well regulated. However, Xu Wen feels that a professional construction survey team should not be like this......

"If it's wrong, it's wrong, don't make some excuses! If you develop a bad habit, when the emperor takes the exam, you also tell Your Majesty that the Dragon Temple is not important, and you don't need to get everything right? I'm afraid that the emperor hasn't spoken yet, and Master Qin will clean you up first!" Di Lin said solemnly, not giving his companion face at all.

Hearing the words Qin Shi, Kong Xiang shut up in seconds, but he still pouted, obviously, it was not his professional ethics that intimidated him, but the fear of the imperial power and his superiors.

Of course, Di Lin saw it, he wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Kong Xiang with an indifferent face, and then looked at Xu Wen, who was upright, and finally could only sigh.

"Thank you. Dillin turned around, and for some reason treated Xu Wen more kindly than before.

Next, he didn't ask Xu Wen how he calculated it, but just reminded Jiang Dongchen and them, "Be careful!" and organized them to continue to be busy—still in their own way, and didn't ask Xu Wen how he calculated it.

Xu Wen didn't care, continued to look at the entire prayer water hall, turned around and left here.

Di Lin breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, he turned his head to look at Xu Wen's back, and thought: Master Qin, maybe you are right......
