"Oh~ oh~ hold~"

A few crisp chicken crows sounded in the bedroom.

Fatty cleverly turned over from the bed and shouted, "Oh my god, someone's rooster flew into our dormitory!"

Fatty made such a fuss, and the other two woke up.

"Please, I'm still in my beauty sleep, why wake me up so early, I'm prone to acne." Jiang Chengcheng turned over, then pulled the quilt violently, covering his head, and continued fell asleep.

"Sorry, I forgot to turn off the alarm clock last night." Xie Lang said to the fat man, holding a wooden chicken the size of a fist in his hand.

Judging from the situation, Xie Lang seemed to have gotten up early, even though it was only a little past seven in the morning.

"Huh, wooden chicken alarm clock?" The fat man rubbed his sleepy eyes, and became interested in the wooden chicken in Xie Lang's hand.The fiery red wooden rooster is carved vividly, especially the cockscomb, which looks like a raging fire.

"Okay, I'm going out for a run." Lin Qiang climbed off the bed, probably going to do morning exercises.

When getting out of bed, Lin Qiang suddenly screamed: "Fatty, why is your computer turned into loose parts!"

"What, my computer!" The fat man was startled suddenly, completely out of sleep.

The computer is the lifeblood of the fat man, and the happy life of four years in college is closely related to this computer.It's nothing more than using a computer to study, the key is Fatty's favorite online games and tertiary movies, and they can't do without this precious computer.Seeing the brand new computer turned into scattered parts, Fatty's expression was as if he had been dismembered.

"Fatty, I disassembled the computer." Seeing that Fatty was so distressed, Xie Lang said hastily, "I asked you last night if you could take it apart and have a look. You said it was fine."

"Yesterday I was—" Fatty only said half of what he said. He drank in a daze yesterday, and now he doesn't know whether he agreed to this matter, so he could only admit that he was unlucky and said heartbrokenly: " It’s okay, I’ll dismantle it once it’s disassembled, at worst, I’ll find the master who installed it and reinstall it. Hey, you dismantled it really thoroughly.”

Isn't that right? Except for things like chips that cannot be disassembled, Xie Lang didn't even let go of a screw cap.

Seeing Fatty's heartbroken look, Xie Lang was also a little embarrassed, and said, "I haven't played with this thing before, so I want to see the structure inside, but don't worry, I'll restore it for you right away."

Xie Lang has had a hobby since he was a child, that is, he wants to figure out the structure of anything he is interested in.Although the principles of some components in this computer are not fully understood, Xie Lang can completely reassemble them with his memory and experience.

Although the fat man doesn't really believe that Xie Lang, an idiot who has never played a computer before, can reassemble the machine, but now he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor anyway, so he didn't stop Xie Lang, but soon his eyes were full of Full of amazement.

But in just a few minutes, Fatty's computer had been completely restored, and Xie Lang looked so skillful in doing things, as if he was the person who specially installed the computer.

"Drip!~" The computer turned on and everything was normal.

"After a long time, you boy turned out to be a computer expert, and you actually lied to us that we didn't have access to computers." The fat man said in admiration.

Xie Lang chuckled and said, "What kind of expert, I really haven't touched a computer before."

Seeing that Xie Lang didn't look like a fake, the fat man could only secretly marvel at him, and then picked up the wooden chicken alarm clock that was on the desk.

The alarm clock can be split into two parts. The hands of the clock are inside the belly of the wooden chicken. In addition, there are many gears and springs in the belly, but the fat man can't understand the use of these things. After closing, It looks like a beautifully carved wooden chicken.

Under Xie Lang's guidance, Fatty discovered that this wood chicken can not only sing, but also walk, slide, and peck rice. Of course, this wood chicken can't really eat rice.But even so, it has already opened Fatty's eyes.

"Brother, where did you buy this stuff? It's really a good thing!" The fat man couldn't put it down.

"I made it myself when I was in high school. I didn't have a watch, and I didn't know the time when I went to school in the morning, so I made this thing." Xie Lang said.Generally speaking, for problems that can be solved by himself, Xie Lang would never think of bothering his family.In fact, since childhood, he has made many things with his own hands, including his toys.

"You made it yourself? It's amazing, it's amazing!" Fatty was already in admiration, "With your craftsmanship, you can be called a skilled craftsman."

Skilled craftsman, ingenious workmanship?

Xie Lang shook his head, he didn't answer Fatty, but many thoughts welled up in his heart.The craftsman appeared almost along with the emergence of human society. It has a history of thousands of years. Among them, capable people and different skills emerge in endlessly. With his current trivial skills, he is just getting started.

In the past, Xie Lang didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and thought that the skills of that old miser grandfather could already be called the master carpenter. At that time, he also used the words "supernatural workmanship" to praise his grandfather's skills.However, of course his grandfather Xie Zhong shook his head and said: "Yan Wang is a carpenter who is called a supernatural craftsman. Your grandfather's ability is just a beginner, so it can't be called a supernatural craftsman."

Xie Lang thought that his grandfather was modest. You must know that his grandfather is a master carpenter who is famous for hundreds of miles. No one can boast of his carpentry work. If such a person can only be described as a beginner, then a true master can To what extent?

At that time, old man Xie Zhong lit a bag of dry tobacco, and then told Xie Lang very seriously that his old man had heard his grandfather tell about the craftsman's methods in ancient times, such as some carpenters can carve dragons and phoenixes on a piece of millet, and some The walls built with mud by famous masons are actually harder than stones, and the porcelain made by others is even smoother than a baby's skin... But the most attractive thing is that Xie Zhong told his grandson that among the craftsmen There are even more miraculous means and mysterious techniques, possessing unfathomable power.

That magical method is an exquisite mechanism.Xie Zhong told his grandson that people could fly into the sky a long time ago. It seems that in the Shang Dynasty, they saw flying cars flying in the wind, and there were people on the flying cars, which is equivalent to today's airplanes.At first, Xie Lang thought it was purely boasted by his grandfather, but later he saw a similar story in "Shan Hai Jing", the speeding car seemed to be made by a country called Qi Ji.According to historical records, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, a skilled craftsman named Yanshi developed an actor who was good at singing and dancing, a bit like a robot.In addition, Xie Zhong also mentioned the Trojan horses in the Three Kingdoms period, saying that Zhuge Liang used the Trojan horses to drive things across mountains and mountains during the Three Kingdoms period.But the story is always a story, and it is still not convincing. What really convinced Xie Lang what his grandfather said was that he saw the "monster" created by that kind of mechanism with his own eyes.

In fact, it wasn't a monster, it was just a wooden mule. This wooden mule was locked in a warehouse in Xie's house, and the warehouse was almost never opened.The wooden mule was about the size of an ordinary mule, but what was miraculous was that when Xie Zhong lifted the mule's ears, the mule actually moved and barked twice in a decent manner.The mule can not only call, walk, but also pull the mill after being put on a rope, which is already called a miraculous skill.

From then on, Xie Lang realized that the accumulation of the craftsman's family for thousands of years was really extraordinary, and many things were far beyond what he could imagine.But as for the wooden mule, Xie Zhong still locked it tightly in the warehouse, because it was an ancestor's instruction.

And the magical technique is something more mysterious, Xie Zhong didn't say much, he didn't seem to want his grandson to get involved in this field.

In addition, from his grandfather, Xie Lang also learned some things, that is, many powerful craftsmen and some craftsmen's classics and secret methods that have been handed down suddenly disappeared decades ago, and they don't know where these people and things are hidden. up.

However, Xie Lang knows from history that it was a very turbulent period decades ago. As for the later founding of the People's Republic of China, many things passed down from ancient times were also abolished in the face of feudal superstition, not just the craftsmanship of various craftsmen. , and also involves many other industries.If Xie's family hadn't been in the deep mountains, those ancient books of their family would have been destroyed long ago.

As for whether craftsmen are also divided into three, six, and nine grades, Xie Zhong told Sun Tzu that there is indeed such a thing.In the past, among the craftsmen, there used to be a distinction between earthwork and heavenly craftsmanship, and there were nine grades of earthwork and heavenly craftsmanship.However, the titles of Earthworker and Heavenly Worker are not self-proclaimed. It is rumored that they were conferred by the gods in charge of craftsmen in the sky.On top of earthwork and heavenly work, it is said that there are divine workmanship, but even Xie Zhong can't be sure of this.

Craftsmen such as geotechnical and celestial craftsmen are almost invisible, so Xie Zhong can't say why.However, Xie Lang's book at home called "Jiangwulu" is signed by the author: Gui Yuanji, a third-grade earthworker. The book records that this person was once an imperial craftsman in the Qing Dynasty. The record about Xuedizi is in this book. There are also records and comments.

As an imperial craftsman, he is only a third-rank earthworker, and the skills of earthworkers and heavenly craftsmen can be seen from this.

Therefore, in Xie Lang's mind, at least becoming a geotechnical engineer is considered an entry point.And obviously, he is also very yearning to become a geotechnical or celestial craftsman one day.

However, it is different from ancient times. In ancient times, five out of ten people who ran outside were craftsmen. Now there are very few real craftsmen, so it is even more impossible to meet the legendary earthworkers and heavenly craftsmen.Moreover, it is even more impossible that one day, a person suddenly appeared in front of Xie Lang and told him: "Congratulations, you have become a first-grade land worker..."

"Oh~oh~oh~"

A cock crow disturbed Xie Lang's thoughts. It turned out that the fat man was messing with Xie Lang's wooden chicken alarm clock.

"Xie Lang, what are you thinking so engrossed in? Is it Sichun?" The fat man jokingly said, "Lend me a few days, you wooden chicken. By the way, the brutal military training will start tomorrow morning. Today It's the last relaxing day, I'll take the three of you to Chengdu to have fun."

"No, no, I won't be able to sleep in tomorrow, I want to get enough sleep today!" Before Xie Lang nodded, Jiang Chengcheng began to protest.

"Then if it's Chunxi Road, the place where beauties appear most frequently in Chengdu—forget it, if you don't go down there, Xie Lang, Lin Qiang and I can just go." Fatty said.

"SHIT, why didn't you say it earlier!" Jiang Chengcheng rolled over and sat on the bed, and shouted, "Why did I come to Sichuan from Shanghai after so much hard work? It's not for the legendary Sichuan girl who is so beautiful. GO, immediately Set off!"
