Chapter 109: The Theory of the Sand Table
The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone is tired enough after a month of hard work, and everyone's residence has finally been built, but it is Cao Leatherman who has made the first contribution. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tired in the body and sweet in the heart, the small village has finally been built, which makes everyone feel a lot more at ease, and then we have to prepare for the winter, and we need to make more preparations.
Tuo Wei's blessing, Yu Zhou did not suffer any grievances, their house was the first to be built, the dry column type of house rose from the ground, each column was thick and solid, considering that there were two children, Yu Zhou even carefully polished the edges and corners of the stairs.
The long room was divided into four rooms, one for the Cao family and his son, one for the blacksmith and carpenter, one for the old man Wei and Zhong Li, and the remaining three children frolicked.
As early as before the house was completed, Yu Zhou already knew the distribution plan, so he was particularly dedicated to the facilities in the house where the three of them were.
When other people's homes were still sleeping on thatch, he built a delicate wooden bed, you say there is no mattress? It doesn't matter, Lao Cao's fur has completely suffered, and the only remaining bottom of the pressure box has been divided, not to mention, and he has been asked to make two more pillows.
After listening to Yu Zhou's description, the old guy ignored a few little hairy children for several days, making evil, who didn't sleep with the thatch, just these little bastards have a lot of things, not to mention the cover, now even the difference between the head and the body has to be distinguished, isn't this looking for a beating.
The old one doesn't make sense, and the small craftsmanship is not bad, when Wei Zhe hugged the pillow made by Dajiang and shouted that his neck would no longer be uncomfortable when he got up in the morning, Cao Leatherman didn't say anything.
When eating, everyone is mostly together, the small room is only for living, Yu Zhou didn't get too many furnishings, but the two little girls are too annoying, people who have taken care of children know that children's energy is bursting for a while, if you want to keep up with their schedule, it will make you tired and vomit blood.
In order to send the villain elf, the delicate tangram came out easily, and the two little girls suddenly couldn't put it down, just a few days of groping, all kinds of shapes of length and circumference emerged in endlessly, and even the two of them groped together, and all kinds of fish, insects, birds and beasts could be pieced together.
This kind of obsession didn't end until a meal, Yueyue, who was the first to finish eating, took it out to play, Song Zhi was dumbfounded, and Old Man Wei was also thoughtful, and the whole dinner table suddenly quieted down.
"Yueyue, who gave this to you?"
"My brother gave it, Xiao Ran also has a set of ......" The little girl didn't raise her head and continued to fiddle.
The carpenter's eyes immediately straightened: "Ziji, where did you come from such a wonderful thing?" ”
Hey, what's so strange about this, if I'm not mistaken, I already have a Luban lock at this time, it's just a tangram, a random patchwork of patterns, a fun thing for children, what else to say?
Hearing Yu Zhou's question, even the old man Wei looked solemn: "Luban lock has always been a secret that has not been passed on, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even hear its name, although this small thing is much worse, but the way of kitsch contained in it is unusual, and Song Housheng is obsessed with it, so it makes sense." ”
After listening to Wei Zhe's words, Song Zhi bowed his head and said: "What the seniors said is that there are no outsiders now anyway, and the younger generations will say it directly, my two brothers and Han Cao were originally military craftsmen of Zhao State, and later General Li Mu was killed, and I escaped from the army to survive in this troubled era." ”
"The seniors can also see that Brother Cao is good at making armor, Brother Han is a goldsmith, and I mostly make some instruments, it is still my idea to come to Da Chu, first, the Chu country is relatively strong, and second, ......"
Song carpenter said embarrassedly: "Second, I am still young in the next year, and I want to learn some clever crafts, I heard that Mozi died in Luyangyi, so the later three points of the Mo faction, with the Chu Mo family he taught in his later years, has been passed on, and the younger generations yearn for it but have never had the opportunity to see it......"
This makes sense, Yu Zhou's heart was secretly surprised, a small tangram can be associated with the Mo family, aside from this brain hole, it can be seen how big the blockade of knowledge is on identity, even a guy like Song Zhi who often makes military supplies can't forget it.
If it is left to future generations, what cutting-edge things are not used in the military before they are developed into the civilian population? Even small things like lighter Coke became popular in the army first.
"It's disappointed Uncle Song, this thing really has nothing to do with the Mo family."
If you want to say that it doesn't matter at all, Yu Zhou himself doesn't believe it, Tangram is an ancient puzzle game in China, although it was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it has been developing and evolving before, and it can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties at the earliest.
"But I have some ideas, maybe it can be beneficial to Uncle Song's craftsmanship."
After listening to the first half of Yu Zhou's sentence, the flame of hope in Song Zhi's eyes was extinguished, and now he suddenly became excited again: "What an idea, but there is no ...... to say"
He glanced at Wei Zhe hesitantly, after all, Yu Zhou was already the old man's apprentice, if it involved the master's mastery, it would be really inconvenient to pass it on.
"Let's talk about it, the old man is also curious."
"Why doesn't Uncle Song further refine the weights and measures, when making things, you can first draw a picture to demonstrate, and then compare it correctly, and then enlarge it according to a certain proportion, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?"
Song Zhiting was confused, what kind of drawing and what proportion, what does this mean?
Yu Zhou further elaborated, the paper is not yet, then it is demonstrated on the bark and animal skin, as for the proportion, it is even simpler, but the vocabulary is a little novel, the truth is there, many craftsmen have been applying it for many years, but it has never become a theory.
In fact, what Yu Zhou said was not so profound in the eyes of later generations, because it had been systematically studied and widely used, but in the eyes of the Warring States, these knowledge were enough to be passed on as a secret technique.
The universal formation of weights and measures was in the Warring States Period, until the later First Emperor unified the world and refined these standards to the same level, that the standard of assembly line operation and production of weapons could be popularized all over the world.
The simplest physics and geometry made them like this, Yu Zhou was a little afraid to say it, good things should be slowly vomited, and a few people should be slowly digested, absorbed and applied, the most important thing is that he didn't expect to talk about these today, it has been more than half a year since he came here, and Yu Zhou himself has to tidy it up a little.
"According to what you say, isn't it true that as long as the proportion is sufficient, the old man can make the whole world?"
Wei Zhe is still so big-hearted that he even imagined the sand table buried in the ground of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in the future.
"That's the reason we use now, of course, this is okay, but the more detailed the production, the more energy is needed, there are so many mountains and rivers in the world, and how extensive the lakes are, if they are presented one by one, how much labor will be required."
Wei Zhe is worthy of being a soldier: "It's not simple, then consider each county, and finally stitch it together, but if you say that, it is relatively easy to make a pattern of one county and one place, and this is ...... if it is used for marching operations."
Yu Zhou shuddered, as if he saw the appearance of the commanders of the two armies exercising against the sand table......
