***********************
The annual Artisan Test is the fourth event in the Village. The first event is naturally the annual Dragon Slaying Festival, which is also a festival of the entire continent.
The second place is the five-year Ink Artist Selection Competition, the winner will represent the Mo family to participate in the trial competition of the seven great families, which is the stage for young people to make a name for themselves, and it is also the best opportunity to win glory for the family.
In third place is the biennial Ink Maker Conferral Ceremony. New ink artists like Luo Qianqian and others often have to go through two years of evaluation before they can officially get the title of ink master.
The fourth is the final test of the craftsman. Every year, some good works emerge from the final test, and it is said that the best craftsmen may be specially approved to become engineering ink artists.
This year's Artisan Test was held in the Ink Auditorium due to the large number of people. This is the place where the ink artists hold large gatherings, and it is generally not open. Mo Lin was still the first time to enter the Ink Auditorium, looking around at the furnishings inside.
The interior of the Ink Artist Auditorium is the same as the rest of the Ink Village, the decoration is simple and simple, but it naturally has a sense of grandeur. The auditorium has a wooden platform, and a large portrait hangs on the wall behind the platform. As a child who grew up in Moshi Village, Mo Lin recognized at a glance that the person in the portrait was Mo Zhai, the hero of the Mo family.
"Please bless me." Mo Lin looked at Mo Zhai's portrait and secretly prayed in his heart.
There are three judges for the final test. One is the ink shaft, and the other is Liu Zhouzi, another master craftsman in the village, and the third is Mo Lin's previous engineering teacher, Mo Zhiwei, a well-known engineering ink master in the village.
A total of 32 craftsmen took part in the final test, and after more than a year of apprenticeship, they all had a very in-depth understanding of the craftsman trade, and it was time to show their ability to take charge of their own affairs.
The thirty-two craftsmen and their works are divided into two parts, the left and right, centered on the platform, in two fan shapes spread out in the auditorium. Mo Lin is in seventh place on the left, an inconspicuous middle position.
The first stage of the test is a solo exhibition, in which each artisan places his or her work in a fixed place and is judged by the observers and other contestants.
Mo Lin quickly put his work in place and began to look at other people's works. After more than a year of study, the craftsmen have mastered a lot of exquisite manufacturing techniques, coupled with each person's different style and imagination, the works are really varied and all-encompassing.
"Hey, Mo Lin, I don't see those people over there." Next to Mo Lin was Mo Lin's classmate Lin Bo in Xiangyun Machinery Store, and the two had a good relationship. Looking in the direction pointed by Lin Bo, Mo Lin saw several young men dressed in white.
Mo Lin followed Lin Bo's guidance and looked over, and saw that the faces of those young people were relatively raw, and judging from their clothes, they didn't look like people from the village.
These guys are also tinkering with their work and seem to have taken part in this test as well.
"Who are they?" Mo Lin asked suspiciously, he didn't know why outsiders would come to participate in the craftsman's final test.
"They're the children of soldiers." Limpo's mysterious way.
"A son of a soldier?" Mo Lin had heard of these people. It is said that a year ago, the soldiers and the Mo family exchanged excellent children and learned each other's skills. The Mo family sent four Xia Mo to the Bingjia to learn their skills in weapon forging, and the Bingjia also sent four young children to learn the Mo family's uniqueness in mechanical manufacturing.
This kind of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is not uncommon among major families, but Mo Lin has only heard about this matter, and has never seen them.
"I heard that they all learned from Teacher Mo Zhiwei, and they are very powerful." Lin Bo craned his neck to look at the other party's work, and there was a look of envy in his eyes.
"Blessed are they." Mo Lin was also a little envious of these soldiers.
"They even took the final test, isn't that bullying?" Limbo was a little indignant.
"It's nothing, if your skills are not as good as others, there's nothing to say if you lose." Mo Lin said indifferently. Of course, he is competitive, but no matter whether the opponent is a child of the soldier family or a child of the Mo family, as long as the winner is a person who is really capable.
With a bell ringing, it's time for free visits.
The three judges, Mo Zhiwei, Mo Zhou and Liu Zhouzi, started to look at the works on the left, and each time they came to a work, they would carefully test the performance, ask the manufacturer some questions, and while visiting and inspecting, they would also write down their own evaluations in their notebooks.
In addition to the three judges, the ink and some villagers who came to visit also dispersed to visit. When they see a work that looks particularly strange or has a particularly peculiar function, they will look around and express their own evaluation and judgment.
"This mechanical dog is so exquisite."
"Indeed, the casting technique is very skillful, the welding place is also very ingenious, and the craftsmanship is really ingenious."
"The gear system is also very well designed, especially the idea of using the tail as a switch, which is really a good work."
He Xiaogong's mechanical dog got everyone's attention at once because of its exquisite shape. Everyone praised him as a mechanical dog running around and with a lively and cute appearance. He Xiaogong's face was red when he was praised, and he only cared about smirking.
In addition to He Xiaogong's mechanical dog, the work of a soldier's child has also been favored by everyone.
"Can this thing really make sounds?" One visitor looked at the wooden box and the long black pipe in front of him, and said suspiciously.
"Absolutely." This soldier is a young man of about ten ** years old, wearing a white white dress without a trace of dust, his skin is as white as snow, and his appearance is handsome and abnormal.
"Can I try it?" The visitor was very curious.
The handsome soldier nodded in agreement, and asked the visitor to hold a palm-sized black wooden cylinder at the end of the wire and walk all the way out of the auditorium.
Visitors walked all the way to the outside of the auditorium and stopped at a great distance. The soldier waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.
Visitors from afar picked up the wooden tube and put it to their mouths, opened and closed their mouths and said a few words. The visitor's voice was immediately heard from the wooden box in the auditorium.
"Can you hear me, can you hear me?"
"It's amazing." The sound coming from the wooden box was no different from that of the visitor, and it was very clear, and everyone exclaimed in admiration.
Mo Lin and Lin Bo both saw this demonstration, and Lin Bo asked Mo Lin in a daze, "Do you know how he did it?" ”
