Chapter 34: A blessing in disguise

Qingyun's shock was no small matter, and he woke up from the dream with a jerk of his feet.

But it doesn't matter what he kicked, this kick hit the bracket that fixed the bronze tripod,

The bronze tripod shook a few times, then pressed towards Qingyun.

That's the one who was really surprised!

In Qingyun's dream, jumping off a cliff is just a kick,

But if the red-hot copper tripod really hit him,
Then it's just a matter of kicking your legs.

So Ju Zhijuan picked up the stove with his sleeves and went to the sky to grab the copper tripod,
Fortunately, he was very skillful, the bronze tripod was picked up by him, and it didn't fall very far, and it was smashed on the edge of the stove.

Di Zhifei kicked Qingyun's right buttock and sent him out.

I dodged several times in a row before avoiding the splashed glass soup.

Although Qingyun was fully awake at this time, he still looked dazed, rolled up from the ground, and yelled,

"I saw a fairy, I saw a fairy!"

Suddenly seeing the angry face and the mess on the ground again, he immediately lowered his voice like a shriveled eggplant,

"I, I really saw a fairy! It's not a dream!
I just took an immortal kick, and then flew towards the mountain wall.

Look, this leg and this head are still hurting.Whoops! "

Well, isn't it still hurting?
My heart still hurts!
Yanzhi was really smoked by his anger, and secretly rejoiced that his brother was not really hurt by the copper tripod. He had mixed feelings in his heart and didn't want to talk to Qingyun at all.

Qingyun has already started to observe and speculate on the scene of the case,
Suddenly, he was attracted by the transparent tadpoles in the water one by one,
With a groan, he grabbed one from the water.

When he caught it, he pulled out the tadpole by its tail.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the tadpole left the water, it burst open with a bang, as if it was nothing more than a dream bubble formed by the water, Qingyun trembled in fright.

When he saw it, he let out an exclamation.

He carefully picked up one from the water, put it on the case, and said to Qingyun,
"Chop off its head, quick!"

Qingyun didn't know what kind of fairy method it was, but he also saw clearly the collapsed shelf and the overturned copper tripod at this time, and knew that it might have something to do with him.

So he obediently obeyed Junzhi's order, took a sword casually, and chopped off the tadpole's head.

With the experience just now, he knew that the transparent tadpole would definitely shatter into bubbles again under his sword strike, so he had already made preparations to dodge to dodge.

Unexpectedly, there was a sound of "铛", the sword was like a hard stone, and his arm was numb from the shock.

He wanted to twist his body to dodge, but the strength in his waist was already exerted, and he staggered immediately after being hit by this shock.

When he stabilized his figure, he leaned over to look, only to see that the tadpole hadn't moved at all, not even a sword mark could be found.

Qingyun was very surprised, he quickly reached out to catch the tadpole, and caught the tadpole's tail, but before he exerted much strength, he heard a sound of collapse, and the tadpole broke apart again.

The exploded fragments crackled and crackled on the hardwood table. It turned out that the tadpole was not a blister, but a condensed form of pulp splashed into cold water.

"Although you made a big disaster, you also made a big discovery.

It seems that this Poli is more useful than I imagined. "

Ji Zhi fished out the last Poli drop from the water, and tried repeatedly with a knife, sword, hammer, and pliers.

As long as it is hit on the head of a tadpole, no matter what means you use, it will be as firm as a turtle.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Jizhi snorted coldly, and first talked about Qingyun's ugly behavior just now, and the origin of the footprint on his thigh.

Seeing that his face was flushed with shame, he continued to preach,

"The liquid droplets formed by the condensation of Polly into the water are quickly wrapped tightly by the surface layer. This phenomenon is the same for all materials.

This is the reason why we repeatedly quench when we forge weapons.

When you catch it, you can see that the tail of Politi is very fragile, which means that the force trapped by the surface is very strong,
The tail of the Polly is not covered by the fast-shrinking surface, and if you touch its tail, it will trigger this force, causing it to explode from the inside.

This trapped power can instantly shatter Poli, which shows that the covering power of the head of the condensed drop is greater.

This force pulls the head of the condensation drop taut, making it indestructible.

From this point of view, the strengthening of Poli after quenching is much higher than that of steel.

If you make good use of this, you can make a very hard surface. "

Having said that, Junzhi shook his head, put his hand on Qingyun's shoulder, looked at him and said helplessly,

"But where are we going to get a lot of Poly for experiments now?"

"Liu Bijin is rich, have you forgotten Liu Bijin is rich?"

Yes!When I ran into this miser yesterday, I had euphemistically expressed my interest in Po Li.

But that guy's business sense was sharper than that of a mole, and he seemed to think that this pair of Nan Qi youths who wandered into the temple would not be a good buyer, so he tried his best to hide his clumsiness.

"Looks like I should really talk to him about a deal.

Why!To be honest, talking about business is the biggest headache for my brother. "

"But fourth sister is an expert, her mouth, tsk, tsk!
When talking about business, I was full of business experience, which gave me a headache. "

"Fifth brother!

You can always link out the most critical information at the most critical time.

Could this be the fate characteristic of the legendary Nine Dragons Encircling the Pillar? "

Crack, crack, Tinzhi slapped Qingyun's shoulder hard twice.

The parts of Qingyun's body had already fallen apart in sevens and eighties just now, and after eating this bear's paw, it felt like his body was about to disintegrate.

But Qingyun knew in his heart that Binzhi was already in a good mood at this time, and after two beats, the disaster he caused would be over.

"By the way, my younger brother has one more matter, I want to talk about it with my second brother."

"Just say what you want, ink blots?"

"Well, mainly, this matter is said by the old fairy in the dream."

Qing Yun made him laugh angrily, but he patiently listened to his talk about the dream on the top of the mountain where the wooden wings crossed the void.

But after listening, he stopped laughing,

"This kind of manned flying kite was indeed mentioned by Mr. Gongshu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It's just that it's been thousands of years, and I haven't heard of it reappearing. This blueprint is probably lost.

If the experiment is developed from scratch, the time cost is not what we should consider now. "

"The compass car, seismograph, Xuanji, Yuheng and other ancient legendary machines can all be reproduced in the hands of your father, so what is a mere flying kite?"

If you can't do it, use aggressive generals. Qingyun himself understands that this method has been tried and tested repeatedly to deal with him.

There is an arrogance in the bones of technical authority, which has been the same throughout the ages.

"Absolutely not, but not necessarily.

It was only when my father got a permanent magnet that he copied the compass car.

Yuheng was copied only after obtaining a giant cluster of gypsum crystals.

If I can get a proper piece of hardwood I can do it! "

At this time, a powerful and powerful elder voice came from afar,
"Hey, your master sent people to bring a lot of wood from the Southern Dynasty, and there was a letter inside, which was actually for you.

I don't know what kind of mystery this kid is making, so go and see for yourself. "

When Qingyun heard this voice, he almost peed in fright. Isn't this the accent of the fairy in his dream?
He looked intently at the source of the sound, oh my god, I saw a god today, but a ghost!

How could it be such a coincidence, the company commander seems to be doing the same thing...

He tried his best to recall the face of the fairy in his dream, but he couldn't remember the details.

But that temperament, that strength of character, that white Taoist robe, alas, he didn't run away.

The Taoist saw that Qingyun hid behind Mo Zhi, and then looked behind him, no one there?

Then he straightened his Taoist robe with the high crown, seeing that Qingyun was still avoiding him, this time he was confused, so he could only ask questions.
"This is Ding Zhi's sworn brother, Qing Xiaoyou, right?
It's been a long time in Shimohojo, meeting for the first time, I don't know where I disturbed the little friend? "

Only then did Qingyun flash out, and he recounted the strange dream he had had.

After listening to Hojo for a long time, he seemed more surprised than Qingyun,
"This, Mr. Gongshu, is the ancestor of the poor Taoist.

As for Feiyuan's drawings, Pindao does have a copy in his hand.

It's just that this craft has been lost in the family for a long time.

This picture has been shelved and no one cares about it, but today it was dreamed by a little friend.

This, this is a miracle. "

"what?"

Junzhi also felt that this was too coincidental, and exclaimed.

Qing Yun was even more confused about the situation.
"How did Mr. Hojo become a descendant of Mr. Gongshu?"

"Mr. Gongshu is the ancestor's own name, not his own.

Mr. Tiao's lineage originated from the Tiao family, and there was indeed a branch of the younger generation who used the surname Gongshu.

It's just that the shade is not thick and has not been passed down.

At that time, Mr. Lu was a guest minister of the state of Lu, and the king of Lu treated Gaoshi with courtesy, and bestowed a salary and a prince.

However, the Tiao clan was originally the head of the six well-known Yin clans in Ludi.

According to the words of Gongyang and Guliang: the loser will fall.

The gentleman came from the former minister of the court, but at this time he became a citizen, so he took the title of Gongshu.

Later, my husband and Mozi had a sand table debate, and after suffering some setbacks, he dismantled the Tiao family and hid himself from the world.

Later, the [-] branches, from Yiyi to Liutiao, were responsible for the research and development of six types of machinery.
The Zhutiao family in the southeast, northwest, and middle schools mainly focused on architecture, engineering, basic theory, etc., which were the strengths of the Mohists in the past.

There is also a mysterious Gongshu family who develops complex machinery, which is an old skill in Yanshi in the past.

Although Mr. set up groups with different research and development directions, this kind of motion is good.

However, the situation in the Central Plains was changing, and under the impact of gold and iron horses, it was difficult for the split families to survive, and many branch families had lost their descendants.

The surviving families were too specialized in technology and were restricted by other related technologies, so they could no longer restore the glory of their ancestors.

The current Tiao Clans are no longer comparable to the Xu Clan and Xiao Clan that were in the same six clans in the past. "

Koichi nodded,

"At that time, the Tian Qi royal family was divided into eight by Liu Bang. From the first to the eighth, only the fifth clan barely survived to the end of the Han Dynasty.

Once a family that has lost power is dismembered, it is difficult to regain popularity.

It's a pity that Mr. Gongshu didn't have a good lesson in the past, so he didn't predict this festival. "

Qing Yun is not interested in the rise and fall of the great clan, and his focus is relatively strange.

"I've heard Uncle Chen say that the surnames with Gongzi are all born in a wealthy family, and I have always regretted that the surname Gongshu has not been passed down.

Listening to Mr. Hojo's explanation today, there are still people with Gongyang as their surname. How valuable is this Gongyang surname? "

The old man with his beard laughed loudly,

"As for the origin of the surname, I'm too poor to do some research, so I might as well be crazy and give a brief explanation.

Many compound surnames are regular and have existed since ancient times. For example, the queen of the Xiahou family is a symbol of status.

There are Xiong, there are Yu, there are Xiong, there are poor, there are still, and those who enter the clan with the characters indicate that they are a large tribe with a large population.

Sima, Situ, Sikong, and Sikou are all surnames produced by the "Zhou Li" to control the official duties.

Uncle Chen explained to you that the appearance of Gong in the compound surname represents wealth and wealth, and there is also a basis for it.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, Gongzi Gongsun was not a family name, but a title for members of the royal family.

Therefore, the real Gongsun family only appeared after the Qin Dynasty, and it is the surname used by those Gongsun who died.

And Gongyang, Gongye, Gongxi, Gongshu and other surnames are indeed all surnames derived from the princes and royal families, most of them came from the state of Lu.

As I said just now, the king of Lu used to regard himself as his clan, and believed that the rituals and music in the world were broken, and all the rituals in the world belonged to Lu.

That's why the royal family of Ludi is all proud. Those royal family members, as if they were afraid of being forgotten after a few generations, added the public character to the front of the branch family name one after another.

For example, the Gongyang family mentioned above is the descendant of Yangru, the grandson of Lu State.

Gongye and Gongxi are both descendants of Jishu Gongye, a relative from outside Lu.

Only Uncle Gong, from the royal family of Wei, was a surname specially bestowed by Wei Xianggong in gratitude for his uncle Cheng Zidang's contribution to helping his father restore the throne.

The ancestors were in Lu State back then, and they were in the company of the princes and ministers, and they were honored day and night, so they couldn't escape the customs.

The same is true for taking public characters as names. "

Seeing that the old and the young were chatting speculatively, Zu Tingzhi didn't seem to be able to stop for a while, so he quickly started to take the rhythm,

"Senior Hojo, let's go and see the batch of goods sent by Master first, shall we?
When you have free time, how about going to Senior to look up at Fei Yuan's drawings? "

"Hey, you go to receive the goods yourself, Pindao will take the blueprint for you.

This kind of baby can't be rotten on the blueprints.

Since today I am fortunate enough to meet your righteous brother because of a dream, it is all a matter of fate.

Maybe it's the heaven's intention to let the flying kite reappear in the world. I don't know the beauty of being an adult because I'm poor and able to walk against the sky? "

The letter paper was unfolded, and the dragons and phoenixes danced on it. It was Mr. Huayang's notes:
Tanzong's old affairs, Wei Gongyun's treachery, as a teacher, has already glimpsed the clues.Your lord Wen Yuan, as a Qi general, although he has concerns, it is inconvenient to go north.Therefore, I made an appointment with Yu, and within a few years, we should urge Rubei to study abroad.The Taishi of Songshan Mountain, the North Altar of the Celestial Master, are connected with each other, and you must come to think about it, so I leave this book, and look forward to it when you come.Now that you have obtained the map of the divine crossbow, you must know that its material is hard to find.I have been traveling for several years as a teacher, painstakingly and alone, and I have not been comprehensive.In the first year of Jianwu, he visited Yizhou, built various mountains, climbed the ruins of King Sheshi of Yue, visited the pavilion of Tailu people from Yi, and found a sacred tree in Nanyi Mountain, which is indestructible.See also Dragon King Sandalwood, impenetrable with sword and axe.So he hired barbarians to saw it down, and it would be cut off every year.The king of Yi sent water to transport it to Mount Song, and it took years to prepare it.Guanyun Dao has gained it for a long time, it should be the fourth year of Jianwu, the twists and turns here are beyond words, I hope you will make good use of it.In the second year of Jianwu, Huayang lived in seclusion in Yuyi.

The red sandalwood is two feet thick, and the sacred wood is five feet in diameter.

They are all cut to three feet, and they are tied to an eight-wheeled carriage.

Tie Zhi held the letter, his heart was surging.

It turned out that a few years ago, the master and his father were already operating this trip to the north.

However, I may have come a little earlier than Master expected, so I saw this letter in front of Kou Guanyun, Taoist Master Guanyun.

It took three years for these two pieces of wood to be sent from Yizhou. Presumably they were specially prepared by Master for the body of the crossbow machine, so they must not be wasted.

Hey?With such a thick trunk, it won't take much to make a crossbow. If it's used to make a flying kite...

Well, I'll have to do some calculations when I get the blueprint.

Qingyun at the side chatted happily with the two barbarians who escorted Shenmu.

These Yizhou Yi people have the same origin as the Zhongtu Yue people in ancient times, and there are various tribes, each with its own territory.

Among them, the Kunlun tribe in the north is the most connected with the Central Plains.

They do some wood and ore business with boats and boats in the Central Plains, which began in the Han Dynasty, so the customs are not much different from those in the Central Plains.

Soochow used to buy a lot of wood from Yizhou when it was building ships.

Although the hardness of Shenmu is not high, it is extremely tough and not suitable for breaking. It is especially naturally anti-corrosion and moth-resistant. It is one of the best shipbuilding materials.

Dragon King Purple Heart Sandalwood is also the strongest of all woods, making it a good material for masts.

Therefore, Sun Quan once sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhier to help the Kunlun family enter the mountains to seek livelihood and compete for the resources of Shenmu.

This time, it was the Kunlun tribe who helped Mr. Huayang get the wood. This time, the prince Kunlun Yiyu was sent to personally escort the Shenmu into Songshan Mountain.

However, the territory of Kunlun does not produce wood. The felling of this sacred tree was actually done by the tribe of Cao Chenghan, an ally of Kunlun.

Ali Mountain in Nanyi Prefecture is rich in sacred trees, and the Cao people were originally a small tribe in the mountain.

Later, Kunlun borrowed troops to attack the mountain, captured thousands of people and returned, and helped the Cao clan become the largest clan in Alishan.

However, in order to completely control Alishan, the Cao clan wiped out the remaining tribes and resisted the infiltration of other tribes.
It took several years to stabilize the situation, so that Soochow cut off the supply of Shenmu.

Wei Wen Zhugezhi was also executed for "violating the imperial edict without meritorious service", and passed on to Yizhou to help the Cao people buy people's hearts, so as to appease the Shengfan who were crusaded by the Wu army back then, and control Muyuan as soon as possible.

Hearing this kind of emperor's mentality, Qing Yun could not help but sigh.

After the fall of Soochow, the Shenmu business was monopolized by Sun En.

Sun En Luxun gathered disciples with five buckets of rice, and dominated Yangzhou Jiaozhou off the coast.

Because the quality of the boats is better than that of the Jin army, it has been able to deal with the strong Jin for more than ten years.

It wasn't until the famous general Du Huidu traded with Yizhou through the Yue people and rebuilt the buildings and ships that the Jin army regained the strength of the First World War and killed Lu Xun in South Vietnam (now Vietnam).

Kunlun Yiyu and Cao Chenghan became more and more excited when they talked about it. Yizhou's business tendency can determine the strength of the navy of the Central Plains regime. This is what Yizhou people are most proud of.

However, since the war in the Central Plains, the allocation of resources in the Southern Dynasty has also tended to war in the north, and Shenmu's business has become worse and worse.

After finally looking forward to Tao Hongjing, a knowledgeable buyer, their service must be perfect, and they sent princes from two clans to show their sincerity.

As a generation of technical geeks, Lizhi can't help feeling,

The so-called technology and equipment are actually constrained by materials and resources.

Such high-quality wood is of great significance to the manufacture of sea-going ships, crossbows, and construction machinery.

If it weren't for the master's knowledge and knowledge, he found overseas Yizhou, even if he got the blueprint of the divine crossbow Feiyuan, he would hardly be able to do without rice.

Hojo Jiuchi was also a believer, and when several friends were chatting happily, he had already appeared with a roll of silk cloth and smiled.

Jizhi took a brief glance, and saw that the designation of the blueprint was "Wooden Magpie Flying Kite", which actually recorded two kinds of machines: wooden magpie and flying kite.

The wooden magpie is a small model that can glide hundreds of steps, and the flying kite is his manned enlarged version.

Note: First make the wooden magpie to prove its workmanship.Build a flying kite again, walk on the clouds and walk on the wind.Like a public loser, breaking the ink and earth urn.You strengthen the wall yourself, and I control the sky.

Hey, I dare to say that this flying kite is a work of anger after Mo Di was wronged by Luban's sand table debate, and it is specially used to break the Mo Clan's urn.

I don't know if the Mo family had a chance to see the finished product later, and did they give any countermeasures?

The harvest of this day really made Jizhi overjoyed, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Dongfeng, um, say Dongfeng, Dongfeng will arrive.

Three Taoist priests were blown by the east wind, the leader of which was an old Taoist whose nostrils turned to the sky, but he had a standard bull-nosed nose, and roared angrily,

"Children from the ancestors, which song is your master singing?
You sent such a big lump of wood over here, are you here to bet on my temple gate? "

Zu Tingzhi greeted him with a smile all over his face, and gave him a slap in the face.

"Daoist Guan Yun, such a large tree trunk is indeed in the way.

Why don't I just act as a master for my tutor and saw him open and deal with it.

This piece of sacred wood is fine, but the Dragon King Purple Heart Sandalwood can be easily divided by extraordinary iron.

So, so I might have to work..."

"Okay, don't mess around.

The piece of red cliff ocher sandalwood (now called Hainan huanghuali) that Lao Tao brought last time was also cut for him.

Just tell me, do you want to shred it or slice it?
Tetsuo and I are idle, but there are conditions. "

The Daoist who cut off the conversation aside is Qi Wu Xianwu, who considers himself the third best casting technique in the world.

Why is it called the third?

Because there are still Tao Hongjing and Mrs. Xu in the world.

Tao Hongjing didn't want to say that Mrs. Xu was an imperial caster in the Northern Dynasty, and she was almost crazy about sword casting.

He was trapped in Baitou Volcano, forging swords with earth fire, and proclaimed himself the number one swordsmith at that time.

Taizhe is also extremely, so taking wife as the word means reaching the peak.

Standing side by side with two monsters like Xu Tao, Qi Wu Xianwu claims to be the third in the world, but it is not considered modest, he can only hate that he was born at an untimely time.

Maybe if he mixes with his son's generation, he can become number one?

"Daoist Qi Wu, if you have any request, just mention it.

Both the teacher and the junior owe a lot to the Taoist priest, so what is there to discuss? "

"Hey, little guy! You can't favor one person over another, I, Dalian Tie Nan, have also made great efforts."

"Yes, yes, how can I forget to cast a Taoist leader who is the fourth strongest iron man in the world?"

"Haha!", Dalian Tienan was dubbed number four in the world, and he actually laughed so happily, which shows that he has absolutely no objection to the three names ranked above him.

Qi Wuxian patted Tie Nan on the shoulder,

"Okay, let's talk about it.

Nah, I don't know what your master is going to use for this piece of wood.

But from what I know of him, he definitely can't run out.

What about the remaining wood, I want to ask for it to carve a statue of Laojun,
Even if it's wages.

The fragrance of this wood is self-generated, which is very auspicious. It is a pity that it does not serve the ancestors of Taoism. "

"No problem, no problem.

The younger generation only took a wooden kite, the wood for a crossbow.

The wing bones of the wooden kite and the string arm of the crossbow need to use Shenmu.

The handle of the wooden kite and the fuselage of the crossbow require rosewood.

The rest of the wood will be disposed of by the Taoist priest. "

"Wooden kite? Could it be that old man in Hojo...

Hojo old miscellaneous hair, I exchanged ten precious knives for you and you didn't even exchange a blueprint, but today you actually..."

"Hey, hey. Xianwu, you are becoming more and more unruly.

The old man is not a hero of the rivers and lakes, why would he need a bundle of knives and guns by his side?
This family heirloom is all about fate, and today, fate has arrived.

It's because of my predestined relationship with Xiaoyou Qing that I follow the goodness and follow God's will.

Besides, if he really started making flying kites, would he ask you for help? "

At this time, Yuzhi suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something,
"Prince Qi Wu, Taoist Chief Tie Nan, can you help me to cut a piece of purple heart sandalwood for this junior today. This junior still has a deal to do."

These two are real people, as soon as they heard the words, they knew that there must be something important, and they didn't ask the reason, so they rolled up their arms and went to the guy.

Other people were also busy fighting, some supported the wood, and some were in charge of sharpening the saw. After working for a long time, they broke dozens of fine steel saw blades, and finally cut off a two-foot-thick piece of purple wood. heart sandalwood.

Diezhi and Qingyun were about to carry the piece of wood back to Lanruo, but they were stopped by Kunlun Yiyu and Cao Chenghan.

The mentor and apprentice of Tie Zhi are their potential big customers, how can they be troubled?
Kunlun Yiyu found two ropes and tied two straps, and Cao Chenghan directly carried the wooden stakes on his back.

"go!"

Hey, the men who came out of this high mountain are really different.

Even if you haven't practiced Kung Fu, with this body, you can carry hundreds of catties, and walking on the mountain road is like strolling in the courtyard.
Compared with the two young heroes, the speed of travel is not much better.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

This book mentions the plot of Zu Tunzhi's discovery of Rupert's tears.In view of the preciousness of glass in ancient China, this section is naturally fabricated.But this kind of fictional overtones is for those "masters" who doubt ancient times. I don't know whether these masters generally do industrial design or only repair ancient books.Anyway, their usual habit of thinking is that without A, without B, there can be no C.Their understanding of industrial design is that they can only do what they have.This kind of thinking is strange. How has human civilization progressed in the past few thousand years?When there is no steam engine, the steam has no thrust?When there is no generator, there will be no thunder in nature?Are electric eels extinct?
In the past, an engineer who held an iron job in some state-owned factories, you asked him if the product tolerance could be achieved, and he said no.Why?Machine processing accuracy is less than.Well, it makes sense, so why can't the machining accuracy of the machine be reached?Accessories, the precision of the screw is less than.Why the accuracy is not enough, the machine processing accuracy is not enough.If the hob is repeated like this, there must be no progress.

If the ancient craftsmen such as Gongshuzi, Mozi, Zhang Heng, Ma Jun, and Zu Chongzhi all had this attitude, then nothing could be made in ancient times.But analogy can be bypassed, and experience can be summed up. I can’t reach the accuracy, and I can make a hundred measurements to get a suitable part.The ancient Chinese did not comprehensively discuss the geomagnetic field, which did not affect the invention of compass cars and compass.The ancient Chinese fan-making technology did not pay so much attention to the constant temperature of the exhaust gas, and the metal utensils produced are exquisite, and there are no moiré lines and sink marks.Even with so many assistive technologies in modern times, it may not be able to reproduce those magical creations at that time.

The reason why these masters are masters is that they can use the known to derive the unknown.

For example, the properties of glass, I really don't understand.But you can experiment, you can observe, you can summarize, so that you have the opportunity to find unique discoveries.Is quenching and tempering a difficult process?no.Physics is natural, and it is obtained by chance. It is not only the case of literature, but also Neo Confucianism.Before Watt there were hundreds of millions of pot lids that were blown away by steam, and people whose heads were hit by apples were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River before Newton. No matter how true these specific stories are, who knows the truth behind them? Did anyone pay attention until Watt and Newton came along?The debate on gravity between Galileo and Aristotle in the traditional school is not a temporary speculation. How many Galileos have there been before, and how many Aristotles will there be after that?

In any case, the actual object is the largest, followed by the literature.Those experts who "doubt ancient times" with conjectures and hypotheses should really change their thinking.Consider whether your own thinking is limited by the modern industrial outlook.

When they thought it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, most Chinese people in ancient times could not eat rice.With or without rice, we still have to live.

Let's use the legendary wooden kite as an example.In fact, this wooden kite is no longer a legend, there are many files about him.

The prototype of the wooden kite is the wooden magpie, which does not carry people. "Mozi Luwen" mentioned that "Gongshuzi cut bamboo and wood to think of magpies, and when they were formed, they flew for three days. Gongshuzi thought it was a coincidence."

In fact, Mozi himself made a wooden kite that does not carry people. "Han Feizi's Foreign Reserve Theory" states that "(Mo Di) took three years to soar into the sky with a wooden kite."It can be seen that this pair of old enemies is also fiercely competing in the aerospace industry.

However, during the dispute between Chu and Song Dynasty, there was indeed a record of Lu Ban making a manned wooden kite, so we usually think that Lu Ban is slightly better in this project.The unofficial history of Chu State "Old Stories of Zhugong" contains "(Luban) tasted it as a wooden kite, and took it to peek at Song City" ("Youyang Zazu", "Taiping Guangji" because of this, the records are exactly the same).

By the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, this kind of machinery had entered the stage of mass production and was reported in batches.Could this kind of blowout be caused by the reappearance of Luban's drawings in the world (this is the setting):
"Taiping Yulan Volume 130": (Gao Yang) also ordered Yuan Huangtou and other countries to fly from Jinfengtai on paper owls, and Huangtou to Zimo before falling to the ground.

"Duyizhi Juanzhong": In the third year of Emperor Wu of Liang's Qing Dynasty, Hou Jingfan surrounded Taicheng, and the distance was impassable.Jian Wen and the prince made a plan, tied the kite and flew into the air, and rushed outside.

These two records involve the royal families of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Nanliang Dynasty, and Houhan Dynasty, and the experiments were all successful.Yuan Huangtou flew from the imperial city to the outskirts, but he still didn't die. He was captured by Gao Yang and starved to death.Liang Ren's wooden kite flew out of the city, but was shot down by Hou Jing's army, but the messenger could not be found.In the face of so many examples, whether this manned wooden kite should be considered groundless, what do you think?
We will not do further expansions on this topic.In the next section, we will talk about Lu Ban's surname separately, please be at ease.
