Chapter 900: Giant's Work
"Want to tailor clothes for giants?" The person invited over was Professor Wu, who had tailored clothes for Shangluo last time.

The sixty-year-old man had never heard such a request in his entire life.

He pushed up his glasses and looked at the pictures on the wall.

In the photo, the giant Talos stands majestically on the coast of Rhodes, holding a golden torch high, with a row of torch-watchers standing at his feet. It is not difficult to see that even an upright adult can only reach the level of the giant's feet.

“This is about the same size as the Leshan Giant Buddha.”

"Really?" Wen Zhong, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Professor Wu, how did you figure that out? Isn't the Leshan Giant Buddha sitting?"

Professor Wu replied, "Because Buddhist statues have certain rules. If we calculate it from 120 points, the height of the topknot is 4 points, the length of the face is 12 points, and so on. If we calculate it from the lower body, the thigh length is 24 points, the knee bone is 4 points, the shin length is 24 points, and the heel is another 4 points. So as long as we confirm whether each part conforms to the construction rules, and measure the dimensions of several parts, we can judge how high the 'whole body' of the Buddha statue is. The proportions of the portrait in the photo."

He stared at it for a while, and compared it with the people below: "The total height should be between 75 and 85 meters."

"Then it would be about the same height as the Yangshan Monument if it were erected?"

"By the way, if the imperial court wants to erect the Yangshan Stele, it is conceivable that it will be almost as tall as the standing Leshan Giant Buddha. Can it really be erected? If it is certain, I will have to make some preparations, because after the stele is erected, it will also need to be decorated with some colorful silk."

"Of course, we can use a giant this tall to erect the monument. After all, the monument is divided into three parts, and the base, body, and lintel all need to be transported separately. The highest part of the body is 49 meters. Letting an 80-meter-tall giant carry it will definitely not be a problem in terms of height, as long as he can carry it."

Professor Wu took a sip of tea and paused for a while. "I don't know why we were working on the princess's dress for next summer yesterday, but today we are discussing how the giant Kua'e should move the mountain, just like the heavenly court is discussing how the heavenly court is moving the mountain."

"If Professor Wu has any ideas, why not tell us everything?" Shangluo also replied, "I'm not a professional. I'm only responsible for moving. As for how to move, we still need the opinions of professionals."

"Then let me give you my opinion: the proportions of the Yangshan Stele itself are actually not quite right. Take a look."

He stood up and walked to the aerial photo of the Yangshan Monument hanging in front of the whiteboard. This aerial photo was obviously taken from a drone perspective, taken at a very low altitude where helicopters could not get down and humans could not get up. He could tell at a glance that the perspective was not right, but now he was already thinking about how to tailor clothes for the giant, so the perspective problem was not that important.

From this perspective, the current problems of Yangshan Stele are better shown:
"Perhaps because it was found that it could not be transported, the Yangshan Stele was cut in size. Although it still could not be transported after cutting, if we remove the Yangshan Stele along the previously carved cut line, the final product will be more like a pillar. The shape of a 'stele' must be simple and heavy. Considering safety issues, it is also better to be thicker."

"So do we have to dig a little deeper?" Shangluo asked.

"Yes. With the width of the stele now exposed above the ground, I suggest digging about 30% deeper. This way the proportions will look more normal. As for the inscription, we can simply enlarge the 14-meter monument of divine merit and holiness."

Elder Wen shook his head and said, "It's too slow. Fu Yuanshan is now above the entire court. We can't do anything to him. In order to boost morale, we have to put up the monument as soon as possible."

Elder Wen did not directly mention that "Shangluo needs a giant as a trump card". This has nothing to do with the current work, and there is no need to disclose Shangluo's plan here.

However, Shangluo raised his head and communicated with the "unknown source" -

"Sure." Shangluo looked up suddenly, "As long as you design it."

"I design it, and that's all?" Professor Wu was stunned for a moment. "Does that mean that no matter what I design, I can make it according to the design?"

"Yes, whatever. We just need to make it, but you designers have a lot to consider. So we will follow the designers' opinions and design it casually." "I've never heard of such a request in my life. Even the eldest princess who doesn't have many requirements has to make some fine adjustments after it's made. Are you sure you don't need to discuss the design with us?" Professor Wu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly met such a considerate party A.

He confirmed again: "So you really won't let us design it and then change it again and again?"

"I really won't." Shang Luo assured, "Look, the last time I asked you to help me make clothes, I didn't have any objections."

"Hmm." After a brief emotional fluctuation, Professor Wu calmed down. "Actually, I usually need to confirm the general theme, and then my secretary will communicate the details in detail, and finally form it. This is the first time I have been so free to express myself. Since that's what you said, I will go and open the paper."

"Please send it tonight."

"???"

The sixty-year-old man sat there, and he felt like he might stumble and fall down while sitting.

"Tonight? It turns out that the other side of the manuscript doesn't need to be revised, so it will be published that night?"

"Eh? Is this troublesome? How long do you think it will take, Professor?"

"Even your plain ones take a month, and the princess ones take two months in advance. This 80-meter-tall giant needs to work overtime for two weeks to get it done. How can it be possible that I can get it done for you that afternoon when you ask me for it at noon?"

"Oh, this is easy. Too easy. Wait a minute."

Shangluo reached into his arms and took out a golden ballpoint pen.

[Ding ding ding, automatic brush! ]

"Please teach me how to draw with this."

"This is?"

"This is a paintbrush that can make your dreams come true. Just hold this pen and it will draw exactly what you want to draw."

[It consumes 5 energy per hour. Doudou, who specializes in art, is very expensive, much more expensive than Gao Shiyu's artificial eye. The artificial eye is to copy something that exists, while this Doudou is to draw something that does not exist. ]

Elder Wen next to him understood it at a glance - but Professor Wu had never used it before.

He glanced at Lord Wen, and confirmed from his eyes that "he was not being teased", before taking the pen from Shangluo.

But once he got the hang of it, he felt relieved. After what happened today, he felt that although this thing sounded outrageous, it might be even more outrageous if he used it improperly.
