Chapter 276: Old Zhao Tou's Story

Old Zhao Tou borrowed the strength of the wine, and finally told Yi Xuan the reason, which also made Yi Xuan realize the extraordinaryness of this old man again.

It turned out that this old Zhao Tou, formerly known as Zhao Lianwu, was a theoretical physics teacher at an unknown university before the disaster, but he had a strange personality and liked to study some strange things, such as the Book of Changes.

This was seen as a bizarre alternative in the school at the time, a model of non-business.

Especially after the reform of Huaguo University, the development center of the school has changed, everything has created economic benefits, and teachers like him who have not achieved much results in research are not valued by the school.

His school is not a well-known liberal arts school in the country, and no one will come to them to study the I Ching, after all, this is like an archaeology major, and it is difficult to find a job after graduating without fame.

So Lao Zhao Tou slowly became the kind of teacher who didn't even have classes in this school, so even if his qualifications were very old and he was about to retire, he couldn't get the title of professor all the time.

Lao Zhao Tou was not very gregarious, and he would not go to dinner because of this, so until the disaster broke out, he was still just an ordinary university associate professor.

However, Lao Zhao Tou thought about it very much, and he didn't think that the professor's title was any good at all, and he had never been married, let alone had no children, so his income was enough for him to live.

But everyone doesn't know that in fact, Lao Zhaotou's research has made a breakthrough a long time ago, and all the results have passed the theoretical verification, and the final practical verification is missing.

It's just that Lao Zhao Tou couldn't apply for funding in this school at all, not to mention that there were still a lot of funds needed for his experiments, so it wasn't until the disaster broke out that Lao Zhao Tou was lucky, and things changed after he came to this base by mistake.

At first, the base city was just a gathering place for survivors, and there were no buildings such as city walls around it, until the regular army of an army came here with some leaders of Huguang Province.

Having just experienced the disaster, many people were still willing to choose to trust the government, and soon people under the leadership of the army found various building materials from the vicinity, and soon built a simple city wall according to local conditions, which became one of the first base cities.

With a stable rear, the base city developed rapidly, and soon became a base with a population of nearly 10 million, and through the contact tools preserved by the Chinese government in the past, it quickly united with nearby bases to form the Huguang Super Base Group.

The establishment of a new city inevitably involves a lot of infrastructure, although it is subject to the lack of raw materials and engineering equipment, the base city still improves the city wall with the efforts of everyone, and completely isolates most of the possible zombie attacks.

With a stable defense, the human habit of infighting will completely explode.

Soon, in the base city, the four families that originally followed the army relied on the original various resources and good relations with the military to rise rapidly, and soon became the four super forces.

In particular, these four families belonged to a combination of politics and business from the beginning, and were well versed in various rules of politics and money.

With their unremitting efforts, many degenerate officers were soon bought off through money, so that the commander who had led the troops to establish this base city was completely overthrown.

Now as the commander of the city lord, there is only one division of regular troops under his command, and although the troops of the other two divisions are still under his orders on the surface, in fact, they have been controlled by the four major families.

So the lord of this base city has actually become a puppet, but this puppet is still making a final resistance until now.

Of course, these are not known to ordinary people, after all, the people of the four major families still need this general from the regular army of China to unite people's hearts.

The four major families who had gained actual power quickly revealed their ambitions, not only striving for more power externally, but also extremely luxurious internally, and building their own family cities within cities.

The fortresses in the city that Yi Xuan saw were owned by the four major families, and the inside of the fortress was simply another world compared to the outside.

To be honest, Yi Xuan admits that the design of these forts is very beautiful, and it can be said that it absorbs the advantages of all the forts from the past and the present, and combines them with the use of modern weapons.

It can be said that the person who designed this fortress is still very good at architecture, and he is a rare master builder.

But here's the problem, Lao Zhao didn't know much about architecture, but as a person who likes to study strange things, he was immediately very interested in seeing the novel fortress.

When the fortress was built, Lao Zhao Tou signed up to participate in the construction, although he was too old to do too heavy work, but it was no problem to get started, so Lao Zhao Tou soaked in the construction site when he had nothing to do, wanting to see how this kind of building that he had never seen was built.

Lao Zhao Tou originally studied physics and also had a deep study of the Book of Changes, but architecture was really a rookie, but he couldn't stand his enthusiasm for the unknown.

So soon Lao Zhao Tou got to know Yan Xuebin, the designer of these fortresses, and a series of things happened later.

Yan Xuebin was a famous architect in China, famous at home and abroad, and was protected by the army as an important person after the disaster.

Because of his old age and interest in architectural design, Yan Xuebin, who is a good teacher, attaches great importance to him, and teaches him all kinds of architectural knowledge.

And Lao Zhao Tou couldn't continue to study his theoretical physics and I Ching, so he also studied very seriously.

However, Lao Zhao Tou learned and found that there are some places in architectural design that can be combined with his theoretical physics and I Ching theory.

At first, he was skeptical, but as a man of action, he immediately put his ideas into practice.

Yan Xuebin thought that Lao Zhao Tou was not in good health so he didn't come to the construction site, but when he walked to a slum by chance, he saw Lao Zhao Tou standing on a mound of dirt and holding drawings to direct a group of people where to build a house.

Although it was just some simple wooden houses and a small number of brick houses, it was a large area, which surprised Yan Xuebin at that time, after all, he knew that Lao Zhao Tou had not studied architecture for long with him.

In the end, Yan Xuebin really couldn't see it, and was worried that Lao Zhao Tou was a half-person who would have problems building the house, so he found him and asked the reason.

Lao Zhao didn't hide it after seeing Yan Xuebin, and told him everything he thought.

Hearing Lao Zhaotou's explanation, Yan Xuebin thought that he was listening to the Arabian Nights, why did the I Ching come out?

Although as an architect, I have heard of the application of the I Ching in ancient Chinese architecture, but no one has realized it since modern society.

Lao Zhaotou, as a person who had just learned a little architectural knowledge, actually told him to apply the I Ching to architecture, which seriously impacted Yan Xuebin's concept.

However, Yan Xuebin is also an excellent scholar, and in a responsible manner, he decided to help Lao Zhao Tou direct the construction of this slum together.

With the help of Yan Xuebin, a master architect, Lao Zhao Tou quickly built this slum without worries, and settled his home here.

Originally, Yan Xuebin didn't care too much about the various plans proposed by Lao Zhaotou during the construction, as long as it did not affect the safety of the building structure, he agreed with him, but soon something happened that made him look at Lao Zhaotou with admiration.

When Lao Zhaotou's slum was built, Lao Zhaotou told all the residents how to enter and leave their homes according to the principles of the I Ching, and told him that if anyone forgot and made a mistake, then he must be informed.

At first, everyone thought that this stubborn old man had something wrong with his brain, and he promised it, but he didn't actually listen.

Soon, many of the residents who were about to go home were in circles in place, feeling that they couldn't walk to their homes.

It's okay to live close to the outside, but the people who live inside are completely dizzy, and in the end, Lao Zhaotou rescued them one by one and let them go according to the way he said, and these people really walked home one by one.

Now everyone is honest, and they go in and out completely according to Lao Zhaotou's method, and there are fewer and fewer people who are lost.

When this matter came out, no one believed it, and they all thought that the residents here had been drugged by Lao Zhaotou, but soon an incident happened that immediately shocked the entire base city.

This thing is that Yao Laohu saw that the new residential area was built, and immediately took his younger brother to collect protection money, but was used by Lao Zhao Tou to repair this building fiercely.

Since then, Yao Laohu and his men have basically regarded this place as a forbidden area and never dared to approach it.

Hearing this, Yi Xuan suddenly discovered, why did this matter look so much like a legendary formation? But just by studying and studying the I Ching, you will study the formation?

However, Yi Xuan thought that this could really be the formation that Lao Zhao Tou made from the I Ching, but Lao Zhao Tou didn't think so, and said to Yi Xuan: These are just some ideas he used to apply through the means of the I Ching when he was studying theoretical physics in the past.

He was ready to give up his research after the disaster, but he found that many places in the architectural design also arranged the environment according to some specific structures, so as to achieve some effects, which coincided with some ideas in the I Ching.

In addition, when the I Ching was first studied, it was mainly applied to the microscopic world in theoretical physics, and it was planned to rearrange those microscopic particles according to the method of the I Ching, so that the structure of matter could undergo more changes, so as to create new atoms or molecules.

Although I can't do experiments on microscopic particles now, I can test some theories by building houses, so things changed dramatically.
