713 Caves and stones
(Thanks to Qin Zhenqiao and Jin CON for their support) !!
Sister Ruyi has already confessed, and she no longer has doubts about ingots, and the people found by Master Miao don't need to carry out their plans anymore. When Ruyi saw these people coming, he immediately shouted that they were going to move stones, and the ancient city lord couldn't make other arrangements.
The heart of the ancient city lord jumped nervously, and Yuan Bao asked the people who walked to his side not to follow so closely, and after saying that, he didn't see that he had a reserve in his hand, and the golden knife slashed towards the stone wall.
Yuan Bao only dug a twenty-meter-long cave yesterday, and he felt that he should be considered experienced, so he didn't hesitate at all. The ancient city lord had never seen the performance of the ingots yesterday, and he was worried that the golden knife would not be able to withstand it. The sound was very soft, and the sound made at the moment when the blade came into contact with the stone wall could only be heard by holding your breath. What the ancient city lord is worried about is not yet visible, and the ingots have a plan for the next knife, one knife is faster than the other, but after a dozen breaths, the ingot's knife stopped.
The beginning of this section was a slow climb up the hill to the bottom of the steep cliff, and there was no mountain on top of it, which was much easier for the Golden Knife to turn such a large stone blocking the way into small pieces than digging a cave. After the ingots collected the knife, there was no mountain above that collapsed.
The ancient city lord walked over, first saw that from the edge of the flowing ditch, there were a few thin knife marks, and then picked up the golden knife and carefully studied it for a long time. There was not a single point of stone chips on the golden knife, and it was impossible to see that the golden knife was damaged differently from what he remembered. Thinking that Ruyi would praise this knife a few more times, after all, it was the pinnacle of his lifelong forging skills, but unfortunately Ruyi's freshness to the golden knife had long passed, and he no longer looked at the golden knife, let alone thought of compliments.
The ancient city lord didn't have time to complain, the people who were going to open the mountain and quarry the stone put down their tools and came over, the ancient city lord looked at the golden knife and sighed in his heart for a while, where the ingots had been cut with a knife before, the stone was moved out, and there was already a pit extending into the mountain, it was not appropriate to say that it was a pit, the lowest place was just level with the ground they were standing on, and the mountain in front of it was heightened, so it looked like a pit. Yuanbao is only a dozen breaths of time, and a few square stones have been mined, although this stone is not what Master Miao needs to build the temple of Ruyi City, and now Ruyi City is being built everywhere, and these stones are also very useful.
"Ancient City Lord, what do you see here?" a young stonemason shouted excitedly, pointing to the stone that the ingots had cut out with a golden knife.
The ancient city lord's gaze swept over the stones, and his face was immediately full of joy. This is the stone cut out of the golden knife he built, the cut is smooth as if it has been polished and processed, and there is no stubble, and the house built with such stone is really as beautiful as a palace. Master Miao also saw the beauty of the golden knife, and the rosiness on his face became two points.
"Yuanbao, can your knife be slower, don't be in such a hurry, when you go down the knife, cut the stone into shape and turn it into stone, don't be so big and small, it's not square, it's not easy to use?"
As he spoke, Master Miao picked up a small stone and drew a few of his ideal stone sizes on the ground. Yuan Bao looked patiently, just like the two lines of Liuyun body footprints left by the wind on the ground back then, Yuan Bao not only remembered, but also carved the size of several stones into his mind, even if he no longer looked at the pattern on the ground, when he thought about it, the size of those stones would clearly appear in front of him.
After all the notes were written, the ingots agreed, there are still some problems he needs to solve, the first is the strength of the knife, the golden knife is not just to cut the stone with the blade, the reason why the sound of iron and stone contact is very light, the key is that the ingots use the most is the knife qi inspired by the golden knife, and the difficulty will naturally increase, and it cannot be guaranteed that every stone has a shape, at least a few decent stones.
The angle and strength of the knife must be accurate, when he picked up the golden knife, the ingots began to calculate silently in combination with the size of several stones drawn by Master Miao for him, and walked to the end of the newly opened road, and the knife in his hand slowly lifted up.
This time, the dozens of ingots took a lot longer. The golden knife stopped and deliberately glanced at the knife marks left on the stone wall before dodging away and letting the stone movers behind him pass.
After the leftovers were put aside, Master Miao's face bloomed with joy. The stone cut out by the ingots this time is almost in line with his ideal standard of sixty percent, which is the stone that the ingots cut out easily without delaying the digging of the cave, and sixty percent of the stones are standard stones that no longer need to be processed. It is conceivable that when the ingots are more familiar with the various sizes of stones, and the techniques of digging caves are more proficient, the standard stones will only come out more and more.
"Why hasn't there been any movement in the city lord Du, a carriage is needed, and more people are needed to move the stones, looking at the speed of the ingots, the stones can be transported from the cave to the construction site tomorrow at the latest, and no link can be disjointed, it will delay the big event!"
The ancient city lord saw that Ruyi was carrying stones in fulfillment of his promises, and Ruyi had no hands, but the stone that flew up by himself definitely had something to do with Ruyi. Don't dare to waste time, the ingots are only cut twice, and the stones already have a hill, and they don't dare to imagine how many stones will be piled up here at the end of this day.
"Ancient city lord, call more people to come and move stones, the speed of ingots is very block, only these people can't keep up with the speed of ingots, and don't forget our lunch, it's very tiring to move stones, we won't go back to eat, let the room make us something delicious and send it!"
The stone mover didn't care about talking, and his heart was warm because of Sister Ruyi's explanation. The ancient city lord didn't care to say much, he agreed to all Ruyi's requests, the time was really tight, and he saw that the stones cut by the ingots for the third time had been moved out of a lot of piles.
I don't know if I don't try, from the time when Ruyi robbed Gu Zheng's military supplies, and when he lit the fire, he could only move some dead branches and leaves, to today, more than a year has passed, and Ruyi's strength is much greater. Controlling the force of the wind, a stone that was one foot wide and thick, and at least two feet long, floated up as if it had no weight, and flew smoothly to the back of the pile of stones dozens of meters away. Ruyi not only didn't feel tired, but also asked the ancient city lord to send them food.
From the ravine washed out by the flood to the steep cliff wall in front of it, there is a gentle slope nearly 30 meters long, and the highest point of this section is only about 3 meters, and at the bottom of the cliff, the mountain suddenly stands upright. When the ingots were originally designed, they thought about cutting out a mountain communication path from here, until they started digging a cave under the cliff.
When this passage was almost thirty meters long, all of which was carved out of the rock, and went straight to the bottom of the cliff, Yuan Bao had a different understanding of the golden knife than a few days ago. The golden knife is particularly sharp, and when cut on a stone, it is like cutting tofu without obvious resistance, and the incision is as smooth as a mirror, and there is no rough feeling when you feel it on your hands.
After the technique is more skilled, the stone that needs to be cut has left an imprint in the mind of the ingot, as long as the knife is swung out, the trajectory of the knife can coincide with the imprint in the mind. Now it is in the mountains to dig a cave and cut stones at the same time, naturally it is impossible to cut a large stone in front of you, and this calculation process is all carried out in the mind of the ingot.
Every time the golden knife can cut into the depth, as well as the width and height of the cave to be dug, in the mind of the ingot, it becomes a big stone, and what the ingots have to calculate is how to cut such a big stone into small pieces, which is in line with the size of the stone that Master Miao needs.
And after the ingot's mind calculates, it becomes a large stone made of many stones. Those stones have been carefully drawn one by one in the mind of the ingots, and then the golden knife is used to cut out those dividing lines, the dotted lines become solid lines, and many stones have appeared.
At the beginning, Yuanbao could only design relatively simple lines in his mind, which could be completed with a few knives, in order to reduce the use of stones. However, when cutting stones, I did not make the proportion of stones more because the graphics designed in my mind were simple.
The problem encountered by the ingots is also very simple, a square stone has six sides, and only one side is outside, in order to make the golden knife can cut to the last side, the pattern designed by the ingots in the mind is twisted, so that the left in the mountain is no longer a face, but only a top corner, each knife is cut obliquely, you can be like the ingot in the mind of the pattern decomposition, each side can be cut.
This method didn't take long to have problems again, first of all, the depth of the mountain increased, the golden knife more than one meter long was a little unwieldy, and the ingots didn't want to open the cave very big at the moment, but after a short advance of twenty or thirty meters, the outside was originally a ravine with limited space, and there was no room to pile up stones.
There is a more urgent problem that also comes to the fore, Ruyi has already inquired, saying that this is a stone mountain, the reason why there is not a lot of grass and trees on this mountain, is because it is not like other mountains are composed of soil and stones, the earth yuan power of the ingots has entered the mountain to investigate, and if the results of the discovery are told to Master Miao, he will be excited. Because the stone mountains in this area can be said to be whole, there are only some shallow cracks on the surface of the mountain, and the earth yuan force of the ingots cannot find a crack that runs through the entire mountain.
This discovery made Yuanbao believe in two points, because the mountain is a whole, in the process of quarrying in the future, even if there is ground movement, it will not appear in Tong Shenzhai, Yuanbao they have seen the collapse of the mountain, and another point, so many mountains are like a super-large stone, which can mine so many stones beyond imagination.
