Chapter 175: I shouldn't have doubted you
"What's that?" you say. I'll give it to you right away. ”
Mulanzhi was very straightforward, without any hesitation, and immediately agreed to Fengyun's request.
"Those little stones that you use to determine the weight of your herbs. ”
When making the accessories of the scale, Fengyun thought about it, and he must first determine the weights and measures used by the ancestors of the Baicao tribe to determine the weight, that is, those small stones that have been used for a long time.
He combines their weights to determine and correct the scale's crosshairs.
If he rashly used the crosshair he used in the Flame Snake Tribe, even if he succeeded in making the scale, he would have a lot of trouble for Mulanozhi when he used it.
At least it will take her a long time to get used to.
Magnozhi, no, the prescriptions used by the entire Baicao tribe, in which the ratio of various medicinal materials are based on the weights and measures made by the ancestors of the Baicao tribe.
If he replaced the weights and measures with the catties, taels, and money he used in the Flame Snake Tribe...... There is a question of conversion.
He didn't dare to have much confidence in the arithmetic abilities of primitive people.
When he was in the Flame Snake Tribe, he had seen their poor arithmetic skills more than once.
Belonging to the same primitive society, he didn't believe that the people of the Baicao tribe would be much better at arithmetic than the Flame Snake tribe.
If their arithmetic ability is the same as that of the people of the Flame Snake Tribe, just by converting, it will consume a lot of time, use scales, and even make Mulanozhi's dispensing speed drop instead of rising.
In this way, he will not be able to fulfill his guarantee to Mulanzhi.
In fact, slow conversion is not what Fengyun is most worried about.
What he was most worried about was that Mulanozhi had miscalculated in the conversion process, which led to problems with the ratio of medicinal materials.
That's where the big problem really is.
If there is a deviation in the ratio of Chinese herbal medicines in the prescription, the efficacy of the medicine cannot be guaranteed, and in serious cases, it will aggravate the patient's condition and may even lead to death.
"Yun, what do you want them for? Do you want ...... To ......"
Mulanzhi's eyes couldn't help but look at the accessories that had been processed by Fengyun on the ground.
"Cloud. You are mistaken. I won't destroy them, I just want to know their weight and then determine the crosshair of the scale, so it's easy for you to use. ”
Through Mulanzhi's eyes, Fengyun immediately understood what she was worried about.
"I see. ”
Mulanozhi breathed a sigh of relief visibly and said, "I'll go get it for you." ”
She immediately turned and ran into the house.
Although she didn't know what the crosshair in Fengyun's mouth was. But as long as she doesn't destroy the weights and measures left by her ancestors, she is still happy to cooperate.
After a while, Mulanozhi walked over, holding a small wooden box in his hand.
There are many regular small stones neatly arranged in the box, there are two sizes, each of which is so close in size that it is difficult to tell their size even if you look closely.
"Cloud, here you go. You must use it carefully and never break it. Otherwise, the witch will punish me severely. ”
Mulanzhi handed the wooden box to Fengyun. Don't forget to ask.
"Miss Laneige, don't worry. I'm never going to break them. ”
Fengyun took the wooden box from Mulanzhi's hand and did not use it immediately, but put it aside.
He took a piece of wood, cut it quickly, and turned it into a stick about a foot long, drilled a small hole in the middle, and threaded a thin thread.
Then use a string as a ruler. A line is carved out of the small hole in the middle of the stick at equal distances on each side.
Fengyun pulled out a long strip from his bosom, about the length of his middle finger. The black one is a cuboid.
"Cloud, what is this?"
Mulanozhi stared at the thing Fengyun took out, looking left and right, still unable to determine what it was.
"It's a magnet. ”
"Magnet? Is it a stone?"
"It's stone. ”
Fengyun didn't even think to explain the difference between magnets and ordinary stones with Mulanozhi.
Mulanozhi hadn't seen the magnet at all and wanted to explain it to her. It would be very difficult, especially if she understood why it was magnetic.
A similar lesson had already been experienced more than once in the Flame Serpent Tribe.
At first he copied an invention, when asked. He would try to explain the principle to them, but it didn't work out.
The more he talked, the more confused they became.
Later, he learned to be obedient.
He didn't explain anymore, just told them how to use it.
As for why he carried the magnet with him, it was not that he was idle and bored, but that he wanted to use it to find iron ore.
Although the bones were hard and strong, and could be used to craft weapons and tools, he still wanted to find iron ore.
This may be because he had come into contact with too many steel products before he crossed over, which made him have feelings for it, and some of the magic weapons in his memory were made of steel, hoping that it could be reproduced.
Fengyun tied the magnet with a string and tied it to the notch on one side of the stick, and then tied the small stone in the box with the rope to the notch on the other side of the stick.
He wanted to know what the weight of the pebbles that the ancestors of the Baicao tribe used as weights and measures.
The magnet he carries at all times, Fengyun knows the weight.
Once bored, he weighed it with a scale, a total of one or two dollars.
In order to take an integer, he cut it into one or two.
"Luck won't be so good, right?"
Fengyun couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the wooden stick in his hand, which was in a balanced state.
He never thought that the ancestors of the Baicao tribe used as two kinds of stones for weights and measures, one of the largest ones, one of which was exactly one or two, that is, the weight of the magnet was the same.
"Cloud, what's wrong?
Mulan Zhi had been paying attention to Fengyun's every move, and the change in his expression naturally could not escape her eyes.
"No problem. I was just a little surprised that the magnet I was carrying was as heavy as the stone in the box. ”
"It's a coincidence, but I'm sure it's what the ancestors meant to make scales easier. ”
Magnozhi very naturally pushed this coincidence onto the ancestors.
Fengyun didn't refute, there was no need for him to make Mulan unhappy on such a trivial matter.
Primitive man is the same to the ancestors as he is to the totem. are very reverent, believing that they will bless them.
If anyone dares to question their ancestors, it will arouse their strong resentment and even be attacked by them.
An incredible coincidence helps Fengyun break the biggest obstacle to scalemaking, and he decides to take the same crosshair as the scales used in the Flame Snake Tribe.
After a series of calibration work, Fengyun finally determined the weight of the scale. and the distribution of the scale stars on the scale.
He used the fine bone drill to evenly drill small holes in the weighing rod, and filled the small holes with white pigment, so that the scale star became very conspicuous.
"Hoo ......"
Fengyun let out a long breath of turbidity, sent the scale to Mulanozhi, and said, "This is the scale." You can use it to weigh the herbs you need, and it's definitely a lot faster than before. ”
"But how do I use it?"
Magnoirie reached for the scale, but when her fingers were about to touch it, she withdrew her hand again.
"You don't have to worry about that. I can show you. ”
Fengyun holds the scale. He walked to the pharmacy.
Mulanzhi immediately followed.
Mu Jian was not far behind, and followed closely behind them.
Fengyun grabbed a handful of white thatch roots and put them in the weighing pan.
White thatch root is also a medicinal herb for making wound medicine, but it is used externally.
It stops bleeding and converges wounds.
"Miss Laneige, look. ”
Fengyun held the rope above the weighing pan in one hand, and moved the string that held the weighing pan together with the other, allowing it to balance.
When he was balanced, he let go of his hand. looked at the scale star and said, "Three, two, two money." Well. That is, the momentum of three big stones and two small stones. ”
"So fast?"
Mulanzhi's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
Although Fengyun finished weighing in front of her, the super fast speed still had a big impact on her.
Fengyun did not speak.
He knew that Mulan Zhi wasn't really asking him a question, just expressing her inner surprise.
"Cloud, is it accurate?"
This is what Mulanozhi cares about the most.
Compared to fast. She's more concerned with accuracy.
It doesn't matter if it's slow, it will take some time at most, and if it is not accurate, the medicine dispensed can be serious, and it may even kill people.
"You can determine the weight of these white thatch roots in the same way as before. ”
Fengyun is not angry.
He knew she was right about something, not about someone.
Before that. He saw her rigor and responsibility.
Originally, it would not take too much time to use the original weights and measures left by the ancestors of the Baicao tribe to weigh the weight of medicinal materials.
As long as you follow the ratio of the prescription, weigh more at a time, mix them together, and finally divide them into many small portions, which can also improve the speed.
He had also proposed to her, but she refused without hesitation.
Her reasoning, he could not refute.
She said that the number of medicinal materials is large, and it is impossible to ensure uniformity when stirring, so the proportion of medicinal materials in each small portion is not accurate.
Taking such a drug may cause harm to the patient, which she absolutely does not allow.
"Exactly. Cloud, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you. ”
After some operation, Mulanozhi used the original method to weigh the weight of the white thatch roots, which was exactly the same as the weight reported by Fengyun.
She immediately apologized to Fengyun.
"You don't have to. I know you just want to be responsible for your patients. ”
Fengyun shook his head, indicating that he was not angry.
"Miss Laneige, you've seen that I've used the scales. Here you go, try it yourself. ”
Fengyun handed the scale to Mulanozhi, his eyes full of anticipation.
He was looking forward to what kind of surprise the scales would bring him after receiving her affirmation.
When he showed Mulanozhi how to use the scale just now, he didn't feel a heat in his chest.
He immediately realized that outside of the Flame Snake Tribe, the copied inventions and creations would only work if they were approved by the parties involved. (To be continued.) )
