After thinking for a while, Shen Zhu opened his mouth and said, "Master Zhang, you give me a few mortise and tenon components used in the ring." ”

"Sect Leader Shen, this." Zhang Xinghe was a little embarrassed, he was not afraid that the Divine Tree Sect would learn the construction technology of mortise and tenon joints.

Here is a brief explanation of what the mortise and tenon joint is, it is the main structural method of ancient Chinese architecture, furniture and other equipment, and it is a connection method that combines the concave and convex parts of the two components.

The protruding part is called a tenon; The recessed part is called the mortise.

The technical requirements are very demanding, the thickness of the tenon should be less than the width of the mortise 0.1-0.2mm, because when the thickness of the tenon is greater than the width of the mortise, it will squeeze and cause the loss of glue, and then reduce the strength of the glue to make the component not firm, and even, it is easy to crack the mortise during assembly.

However, the above requirements are only one of the difficulties, and the others will not be said much, go to Baidu by yourself.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghe is not afraid of mortise and tenon being learned, he is now worried that the Divine Tree Sect will copy a batch of mortise and tenon components, if there is a slight error in the specifications, the ring will not be firm even if it is built, and what should the Divine Tree Sect do when it troubles him.

Shen Zhu saw Zhang Xinghe's worries, so he said slowly: "Master Zhang, if there is a problem in the ring, the responsibility will be attributed to the Divine Tree Sect, you don't need to worry about the Divine Tree Sect making trouble for you because of this." ”

Hearing Shen Zhu's words, Zhang Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, put a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll go and bring the components over." ”

Half an hour later.

Zhang Xinghe looked at a batch of mortise and tenon components in front of him in surprise, picked up the two components and looked at them carefully for a long time.

According to the eyesight he has worked hard for more than 20 years, he knows that this batch of mortise and tenon components is very in line with the specifications without using tools, which can be said to be perfect, no different from the components he gave to Shen Zhu, it is simply a mold print.

Then, he was very puzzled, how did the Divine Tree Sect create this batch of components?

In his opinion, even if all the craftsmen in Guangfu were gathered together to manufacture, there was no guarantee that in such a short period of time, the mortise and tenon components that met the specifications could be manufactured in large quantities.

Shen Zhu asked Yan Zhendong to bring someone to send this batch of components to Zhang Xinghe, Yan Zhendong saw Zhang Xinghe looking at the components silently for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang, what's wrong with the components?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. Zhang Xinghe was stunned by Yan Zhendong's sudden question, and hurriedly replied after coming back to his senses.

No problem, you've been watching it for so long?

Yan Zhendong was not polite when he heard this, and said: "In this case, Master Zhang, you start work as soon as possible and build the ring." ”

The next morning, when there were still ten minutes to go, the early sun had risen in the sky, and it could be said that the sun was shining and everything was so beautiful.

At this time, a large number of people gradually ushered in a large number of people on the other side of the sand, and soon the area in this area was occupied.

Some of the people came to do business with their burdens, and they came earlier, around the end of the day, when it was so light that they could only see the road vaguely.

Now seeing someone coming, these people who were doing business suddenly got up and waved their hands and shouted:

"Look here, there's a hot bun here."

"Osmanthus cake, delicious osmanthus cake, eat osmanthus cake when you watch the martial arts competition!"

"This uncle, buy a string of sugar gourds for your grandson...... And this young lady, there are sugar gourds here. ”

……

Pancakes, fried dough sticks, meat sandwich buns, five-spice braised dried eggs, tea eggs, braised eggs, etc., there are almost all vendors selling snacks here, and even stinky tofu, but except for a few people who like stinky tofu to buy, others have covered their noses and detoured by.

Not long after.

There was another crowd of people on Shamian's side, and the people who came were the people who participated in the competition today.

There is not much to say about the solo travelers, except for the costumes they wear for the competition, they are almost indistinguishable from the passers-by who watch the bustle.

Conspicuous were the gangs and the crowd of martial arts gyms, and the contestants were at the forefront.

Most of the people in the sao bao point are the leaders of the gangs, perhaps they want to attract people to join, so they wear cloaks, embroidered with the names of their respective gangs, they are vigorously striding steps, sometimes waving to the passers-by who are watching the excitement, followed by a group of people waving flags and shouting, constantly cheering that so-and-so will win, so-and-so is invincible in the world, and even shouting the slogan of kicking the Lingnan Ten Tigers.

Compared with the gang's spicy exaggerated behavior, the crowd of the martial arts hall is much more low-key, except for hanging the name of the martial arts hall on the flagpole, they basically walked in silence all the way.

So.

After some of the people in the martial arts hall heard the words of kicking the Lingnan Ten Tigers, the martial arts masters had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they still had the strength, but their faces were gloomy and they didn't say anything.

But the apprentices are different, their faces are very angry, they are scolding the gang for being shameless, and even shouting in the martial arts competition, they want to break the hands and feet of the gang, and the grumpy people can't wait for the martial arts competition, and now they want to run quickly to beat the gang people, and finally under the eyes of the masters, they retreat back to the team in a daze.

Soon, the people of the martial arts hall and the gang crowded to the shore and raised their eyes to take a look.

"Master, where is the location of our martial arts hall?"

Some people were puzzled that the ring on the river did not mark the location of their martial arts gym, and they did not see a bridge leading to the ring, so they had to wade into the ring to climb onto the ring.

The ring is located in the middle of the river, it is five meters long and five meters wide, and it is one meter high from the surface of the river, so the bottom of the ring is empty.

There is a bridge in the shape of a circle on the periphery of the ring, and the bridge is about a meter higher than the ring. To put it simply, it is no different from the Colosseum in the West, where one can safely sit on a high platform and see the Colosseum below.

Chairs are placed on the circular bridge, but the space is limited, and it is basically a place for the government and foreigners to sit.

Therefore, the people in the martial arts hall and the gang were wondering how they could go up to the martial arts ring, whether they had to wade through the water under the bridge and then climb into the ring.

"Isn't that insulting! So we're going to have a fart. ”

Young and vigorous, so some apprentices are easy to think crookedly, they feel that the martial arts competition jointly organized by the Divine Tree Sect and the government really looks down on martial artists.

And at this time.

"The people from the Divine Tree Sect and the government are here."

With a sound, a group of soldiers wearing official uniforms and horse coats printed with the word "soldier" walked briskly in two columns, and separated the crowd and pushed aside.

Soon, a three-meter-wide passage opened up in the crowd.

Afterwards, you could see Shen Zhu and Nalan Yuanshu walking in front, each with their subordinates behind them, talking and laughing slowly to the shore.

"Brother Shen, you're going to let people wade up and climb up." Nalan Yuanshu was also surprised by the ring in front of him, so he asked.

When Shen Zhu heard this, he didn't answer immediately, and slapped his palms three times.

With the sound of clear applause, the bridge on the river clicked, and a large semi-circular bridge suddenly displaced, and then like a robot arm curled and hung on the chest, it straightened and extended in the direction where Shen Zhu was.
