It seemed that he knew that his words were too much, and Wei Xian's expression was quite embarrassing at this time.

But after remembering Zhang Yan's kindness to him during this time, he still gritted his teeth, and just put the blueprint that Zhang Yan gave him before on the table between the two of them.

"Here, Master, look."

Chapter No.16 Wei Xian's Confidence

Looking at the drawings on the table, Zhang Yan saw the schematic diagram of the large library that he had admired countless times before, presented in front of his eyes.

It was a pure white Greek-style building, and the whole body was made of white stone materials.

The first thing that catches the eye is a towering hall showing the golden ratio. The design and height of the palace make human beings as humble as ants in front of it.

Supporting the hall are a total of eight huge stone pillars on the left and right, each of which is more than five meters high.

The stone pillars are engraved with countless complicated patterns, which perfectly set off the incomparably gorgeous and complicated murals on the top of the large library.

On both sides of the main hall, after crossing the towering marble doors, there is a double-layer cloister full of Roman charm.

The solemn and solemn design style made Zhang Yan feel that there was a strange fluctuation in his heart even if he went to watch it after a long time.

It's like standing in front of the big library, just step over the low steps...

low steps...

low...

Ok?

His gaze froze slightly, and Zhang Yan suddenly felt his blood pressure soar.

No, what's with the low steps?

Are you waterproof?

What about your compartment?

Ptolemy, you put all your books here? !

It's a scam, isn't it!

Controlling himself to take a deep breath, Zhang Yan suddenly understood the true meaning of what Wei Xian said earlier.

"I see, Wei Xian is really thanks to you this time..."

Resisting to let out a foul breath, Zhang Yan looked at the incomparably magnificent architectural model, but couldn't help but twitch his brows.

Opposite him, seeing Zhang Yan's appearance, Wei Xian had obviously realized something, so he relaxed slightly.

"Master, don't dare to be or not to be."

"But I think you should be more or less familiar with it."

Smiling and waving his hands towards Zhang Yan's figure, Wei Xian explained his discovery in detail to the other party in a soft voice.

"Master, please take a look. Although the drawings of this large library are magnificent and unusual, they are supported by stone pillars as a whole, and the arches are opened extremely high. It is very easy for the outside air to pass through the library."

"It would be fine if we were in Sili in the north, but the climate in the Jiangdong area is not to mention the humid summer, even in autumn and winter, once the outside temperature is higher than the indoor temperature, it will form a lot of water droplets after ventilation. It is very easy for books to become damp and damaged."

"In addition, the collection hall of this library does not raise the foundation, but is flush with the external land... I dare to assure you, if it is really built according to the design on this blueprint, then your dream of collecting books will be fulfilled." I'm afraid it won't make it through this winter."

He explained to Zhang Yan word by word, although Wei Xian's words at the moment were a little serious, but they were all seeking truth from facts, and he didn't say all the nice things just because he wanted to please Zhang Yan.

Obviously, Zhang Yan also knew about this phenomenon similar to "returning to the South", so he didn't even ask any more questions, just nodded like this, and his face became a little embarrassed.

"Well, yes, buildings like libraries have to consider design factors based on the actual climate of the building site."

"The water network in the Jiangdong area is dense, and the air is extremely humid. How could I forget this..."

After muttering something in a low voice, Zhang Yan was also a little speechless about his carelessness.

Just like what Wei Xian said before, in Jiangdong, or even in the entire Huaxia region, if any aristocratic family wants to collect books, it must take moisture-proof measures in its own study room, and many aristocratic families even built "library buildings" for this purpose. ” in case the book is damaged.

Take the Cai family with tens of thousands of books as an example. Although Cai Yong’s old house in Luoyang is not big, there are several rooms in the house for storing books. Ventilate or seal.

This is not a big secret to Zhang Yan, who has a very good relationship with the Cai family.

As for being located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the water network in the territory is far more complex than the Lujiang area in Luoyang...

Have you ever heard that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, which aristocratic family in Jiangdong was famous for its collection of books at home?

not a single one!

Inner Sheep Monarch: [-] Lu Ba Wu Lu [-] Five э

The reason why Ptolemy's great library can be built in such a Greek style is because the full name of the big library is "Alexander's Royal Great Library", which was originally located in Egypt, a desert country on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Egypt has always been dry and rainless. Except for the Nile River Basin, the annual rainfall in most places is far lower than that of the grasslands in the north of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the Lujiang River.

Sighing slightly, Zhang Yan only felt that if he really copied the original design of this large library, the two familiar characters of failure would probably be very close to him.

"Hey, as expected, it is still necessary to build a spectacle building in line with the local characteristics of Lujiang according to local conditions."

"The ancients said it well, wanton blind obedience is not advisable..."

Pursing his lips, he finally turned his gaze to Wei Xian's direction.

……

"Well, then I think I've figured it out about this matter."

"Wei Xian, do you have any good suggestions for the construction of the big library?"

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes. For this kind of thing that he is not good at, Zhang Yan has always been relieved to let the professionals under his hands handle it.

Maybe architecture needs to be studied systematically, but in the absence of academic schools, Wei Xian, who has rich experience, is obviously the only person Zhang Yan can trust.

Fortunately, Wei Xian once again lived up to Zhang Yan's expectations.

Since he took the initiative to send someone to invite Zhang Yan to come to his side, Wei Xian obviously had already prepared for Zhang Yan's question.

"This is the second thing I invited the master's family to come over today."

Looking at Zhang Yan's direction with burning eyes, Wei Xian's eyes are full of confidence at the moment.

"Master, I hope you can give me a chance to allow me to properly modify the content of the drawings according to the actual situation when building the big library this time."

"While keeping the original style of the building unchanged, I will increase the thickness of the walls using the techniques commonly used in southern architecture, so as to minimize the possibility of books in the library being damaged by moisture."

"There is also the foundation. I also plan to imitate the previous sundial base and raise the main body of the library to more than two meters, which can effectively reduce the intrusion of moisture and prevent the accumulation of water from spreading into the library in rainy weather."

"and also……"

He talked endlessly to Zhang Yan about his thoughts. Maybe Wei Xian's previous experience in successfully building wonders gave him considerable confidence, or maybe it was because he really learned a lot during the long-term construction work. .

At this moment, Wei Xian's expression was eager to try.

Chapter No.17 Just do it

Looking at the drawings on the desktop, Zhang Yan's expression was thoughtful at the moment.

"Hmm... amend it?"

"Sure enough, I still have to modify it."

After a while, that thought turned into a sigh and spit out from his mouth.

In fact, as early as before, Zhang Yan learned from the system that he could modify the original historical spectacle design by consuming "fame".

This is the new function that the system upgrade opened to him when he completed the normal level wonder for the first time.

At that time, he also considered whether to adjust the buildings like the Great Library or National University whose style did not match the Han Dynasty, just because the reputation points needed to modify the drawings were too much, I have been hesitating and haven't made up my mind, I want to save a little reputation and change some suitable blueprints from the system.

Listening to what Wei Xian said now, such a thought almost ruined his own affairs.

If Wei Xian hadn't been careful and discovered the loopholes in the original design of the library in advance, Zhang Yan's time and material investment in the past few months might have been wasted.

……

"Okay, then it's up to you, Wei Xian, you can adjust and modify the design according to the actual situation, but try not to affect the original function of the library."

"I don't know much about this. If you have any questions, you can discuss with Kuai Qi and the others, or go to a family in Wancheng like the Qiao family to observe and see how their collections are generally stored and disposed of."

"Go ahead and do it boldly. I've approved your request. If you need any help, just let me know. Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

Patting Wei Xian on the shoulder, Zhang Yan gave Wei Xian a cheering look, and then he let out a sigh of relief, as he had settled the matter.

To be honest, it was the first time for Zhang Yan and Wei Xian, who was actually operating, to modify the drawings like this, so Zhang Yan was somewhat uncertain.

However, it just so happened that last night, he also made up his mind that he wanted to develop enough power to protect himself, his family and the people. Therefore, this large library, as one of the cheats that Zhang Yan brought back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, was naturally released. In the first echelon of Lujiang's many affairs, it is absolutely impossible to delay or give up because of a small setback.

That being the case, Zhang Yan might as well let Wei Xian do it freely, the best thing is to make it, even if it can't be done, he still has the system as his backing.

At that time, as long as he sets the failed library site as a branch library, and then approves a piece of land from other places in Lujiang to rebuild the Han-style library with a modified system, Zhang Yan will not waste some time. There would be too much loss.

Keeping this matter in mind, Zhang Yan and Wei Xian instructed a few more words, then Shi Shiran got up, ready to leave from here.

Today, in addition to coming to Wei Xian to confirm the construction progress of the large library, Ma Jun's Zhang Yan also plans to go there to care about the only scientific worker currently under his command and see if there is anything wrong with his work. where you can help.

A few days ago, Ma Jun sent a message to himself, saying that the previous experiment had made some progress, so taking advantage of his free time today, Zhang Yan happened to go over to have a look.

You know, in less than a year, the time will reach May of 189 AD, which is also the time when the original Hanling Emperor Liu Hong's deadline is approaching.

Although the current Han Empire looks peaceful after the initial establishment of the Yellow Turban, as long as Liu Hong dies, this series of emergencies will immediately lead to chaos in the world, and the contradiction between the first ten servants and the general He Jin will also change. cannot be adjusted.

Let’s not talk about the impact of the fight between the two on the government, let’s just talk about the biggest disaster in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the biggest change that damaged the dignity of the Han family: Dong Zhuo’s chaos was caused by the two of them. battles between them.

At that time, in order to counter Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and others who held heavy troops, He Jin ordered the recruitment of former generals Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, governors of Liangzhou, to the palace, and Jingguo was in trouble.

But before he could hold on to the presence of Dong Zhuo and the other two, he was killed by the ten permanent servants who suddenly launched an attack. The army under his command also began to fall apart, and he no longer defended the center as before.

It was under such circumstances that Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang, and then through the integration of Ding Yuan, the extremely skilled Bingzhou Wolf Rider among the three major princes of the Great Han Dynasty, he became the number one overlord in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, it was precisely because of Dong Zhuo's rising power that the prefects and governors from all over the world realized that the Han family was old, and it also made the majesty of the Han family completely reduced to the laughing stock of the world.

Liu Bian, the emperor of the dynasty, was bestowed dead by Dong Zhuo a year before he ascended the throne. He didn't even have a country title, and his posthumous title was "Young Emperor", which was extremely perfunctory like "Daxing Emperor". The only time in more than [-] years.

It was also this time that Liu Xie, the later successor of the Han Dynasty, faced Dong Zhuo's remnant party Li Que and Guo Si, who caused troubles in the government and the public, and when Situ Wangchong, the number one hero who killed Dong Zhuo, was forced to commit suicide. He didn't even dare to take a breath.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this incident that later Liu Bei, Liu Biao and other Han loyalists were completely disappointed with the emperor.

To put it bluntly, when did the emperor feel so wronged?

This is probably the first time in China's history.
