Mohist Tang

However, no one saw a trace of arrogance appear on Wu Meiniangs face behind Mo Dun, and he jumped out and said: “Uncle Master wants to compete with Master. First pass the Meiniang level.”

Li Yun and Gongshu Hong couldn’t help being taken aback. No one thought that at this time Wu Meiniang would come forward and take the initiative to come forward for the Mohist Family.

“Could it be…”

The two looked at each other, and there was a possibility that they had never thought of before.

“Could this problem be solved even by the female discipline of Mohist Family Son.”

Li Yun couldn’t help but grasp the folding ruler of her cuff tightly, and she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. In his opinion, the only ruler that meets the requirements of Mohist Family Son is the folding rule in his palm. There is no other way. If he and Wu Meiniang have the same idea, I am afraid it can only be the same as Mohist Family Son. Disciple drew a tie, so even though he was tied, he still lost!

And Gongshu Hong is even more unbelievable. He never thought that the problem of stumping the entire Gongshu Family was solved even by a girl over ten years old.

Wu Meiniang proudly turned around and saluted Mo Dun and said: “Reporting to Master, Master used to leave lessons for the discipline at this bridge ten days ago. Today, the discipline has been completed. Please also Master for guidance.”

Wu Meiniang found a way to manufacture the tape measure and immediately reported not at all to Mo Dun, just to prove himself to Mo Dun at this moment, but he didn’t expect such a setback.

Mo Dun glanced at Wu Meiniang. The news about Wu Meiniang’s completion of his schoolwork had naturally reached his ears. He looked at Li Yun and Gongshu Hong again, and said with an inexplicable smile. “The bad guys just joined the Mohist Family not long ago, and they are not good at learning skills. If there are any irregularities, please dont laugh at me.”

Gongshu Hong immediately made a haha and said: Young, but the reputation of the Mohist Family Big Senior Sister has spread throughout Chang’an City. The silver mirrors made are best-selling Great Tang. The old man is known for a long time. Now it is an honor to see the young talents of the Mohist Family. “

Li Yun flashed a trace of contempt. If Wu Meiniang manufacture produced a folding ruler, he would consider himself bad luck. If not, Mohist Family Son would dare to cheat for personal gain, so dont blame him. No mercy.

Wu Meiniang walked in front of Li Yun and took out an item with the big palm from his Mohist Clothes pocket. Li Yun unconsciously touched the folding ruler of his cuff, although he was right Mohist Family Son is not pleasing to the eye, but I have to say that the pocket design of Mohist Clothes is extremely convenient and fits the concept of Mohist Family’s festival.

“Since Uncle Master also made a ruler, what if you and I show it at the same time?” Wu Meiniang opened his eyes and looked at Li Yun innocently.

Li Yun can’t help corner of mouth twitching, Wu Meiniang’s move is simply cunning. If others don’t know, do you think he is competing with a teenage girl?

“Don’t be rude!” Mo Dun scolded.

“Uncle Master, Meiniang is showing his ugliness!” Wu Meiniang stuck his tongue out and took the lead in extending the hand palm. In the palm of his hand, there was a palm-sized wooden box.

“Only hand control!” Li Yun’s heart sank. This is the most difficult part of Mohist Family Son’s schoolwork. Wu Meiniang’s ruler is in palm-size and it is a child’s palm- size, above the size, is already more than half of the success.

However, Wu Meiniang’s ruler is round, so naturally it did not collide with his folding ruler. This made him sighed in relief, but also a little more solemn.

After that, Wu Meiniang actually slowly pulled out a flat cloth ruler from the wooden box, which was covered with densely packed scales, Wu Meiniang moved behind him, and a Mohist Family Son came forward to help. , The two worked together to slowly show everyone the one-foot-long cloth ruler.

“Accurate to the fifth centimetre!”

“The cloth ruler can be rolled into a roll! Naturally, a ruler of one foot can be controlled by one hand.”

Gongshu When Hong saw Wu Meiniang’s cloth tape measure, he suddenly realized that he had a sudden realization about the difficulty of the tape measure in his mind. However, these two problems seem to be easily solved by Wu Meiniang, but for ordinary people, it is extremely difficult because of the manufacture cloth tape measure. The cloth rope is extremely rare, and only Mohist Village has such craftsmanship.

After Wu Meiniang was displayed, he pulled the handle on the side of the wooden box. With Wu Meiniang’s slight force, the ten feet long cloth ruler was slowly incorporated into the wooden box, once again Restored to a palm-sized wooden box.

“How could this be so?” Li Yun couldn’t help but shrink his eyes, shocked by Wu Meiniang’s whimsy. He originally thought that his folding rule must be the only answer, but he didn’t expect Wu Meiniang. Actually chose another completely different path.

“Meiniang is waiting for Master Shu’s masterpiece.” Wu Meiniang said resolutely.

This time, Li Yun no longer despised the slightest, but solemnly took out a half chi long three-finger-wide wooden block from the cuff and displayed it in front of everyone.

“Wood block!” Gongshu Hong couldn’t help being frowned. How could this be a ruler, but Mo Dun’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help thinking of a ruler commonly used by woodworkers in later generations.

I saw Li Yun shook his hand. The original two-finger-wide wooden block was made of thin wooden boards. Under Li Yun’s force, the wooden boards were connected by Mou Liu. It forms a ten feet long wooden ruler.

“Wonderful!” When Gongshu Hong saw Li Yun’s design, he couldn’t help but exclaimed. As a traditional carpenter Peak, Gongshu Family didn’t know how many generations of carpenters had invaded, so naturally they agreed with Li Yun. The idea of folding ruler.

Furthermore, Wu Meiniang uses a cloth ruler, while Li Yun uses a pure wooden ruler. Naturally, Gongshu Hong recognized it.

“The accuracy below is also the fifth centimetre.” Li Yun nodded and said, at this point, he and Wu Meiniang had a close mind, and at the same time thought of this idea.

“I’m afraid this is the limit?” Gongshu Hong sighed. The world says that the difference is a thousand miles away, but it is difficult to divide the difference, even more how.

Li Yun shook his hand and saw that the original ten feet long wooden ruler was randomly folded into sections and restored to the original one-foot-long, three-finger-wide plank.

“Uncle Gaoming, my nephew is willing to go down!” Wu Meiniang suddenly conceded his defeat.

Li Yun couldnt help but stunned. He didnt expect Wu Meiniang to give up on his own initiative. Although he was very confident in his folding ruler, Wu Meiniangs cloth tape measure was also out of the ordinary, and it was really directly proportional to winning or losing. Not necessarily.

“Marquis of Mo really taught a good discipline!” Gongshu Hong said meaningfully.

Mo Dun coughed: “Although Meiniang has completed the ruler according to the regulations, there are still many areas that need improvement. The manufacturing is cumbersome, while Brother Li’s folding rule manufacturing is simple and ingenious. Slightly better.”

His own discipline lost to Li Yun, although it was a glorious defeat, Mo Dun was naturally happy to give Li Yun a face.

“The cloth tape measure of the commander looks extremely rare from the bottom, Marquis of Mo is too embarrassing for the juniors!” General Gongshu Hong said, Wu Meiniang’s design even he can’t help but praise him, he can’t I believe Mo Dun can point out any flaws under his slander.

Mo Dun haha said with a smile: “Brother Gongshu is too tall to look down on the bad guys. Although the cloth tape has advantages, the cloth tape is too soft and can be operated by one person if it is too short. If the length is more than six feet, Im afraid we need two people to cooperate.”

Everyone couldnt help looking thoughtful. When Wu Meiniang showed the cloth tape measure, he pulled a Mohist Family Son to cooperate. This is indeed a Disadvantages. Not only is the advantage compared to the cloth tape measure, this defect is almost negligible.

However, the cloth ruler has an incomparable advantage that has not been brought into play. That is, compared to the wooden ruler, the cloth ruler can be thinner, which means that the cloth tape can be installed longer under the same volume. The ruler. Mo Dun finished speaking, and he indulged for a moment: This cloth tape measure is several times larger, and the length is increased to 50 zhang. It will definitely have a more prominent effect, and the previous shortcomings are enough to make up for it.

“50 zhang!” Gongshu Hong couldn’t help but feel shocked, and was surprised by Mo Dun’s idea. The distance of 50 zhang is as much as 150 meters for later generations. In this era, long-distance measurement is very troublesome. If you use a 50 zhang cloth tape measure, two people can easily and accurately measure it, and it is convenient to carry and retract. It will be very popular.

“Disciple can be taught!” Wu Meiniang convinced.

“Brother Mo is really out of the ordinary, how about pointing this Li’s folding ruler?” Li Yun felt a little dissatisfied.

He originally thought that the cloth tape was already on par with his own folding rule, but he didnt expect that Mohist Family Son would point out the flaws of the cloth tape in a few words and improve it. After the trend of folding rulers, since the tape measure is also defective, doesn’t it mean that his folding ruler is not perfect? This time he wanted to see what Mohist Family Son said ugly.

Mo Dun looked at the folding rule in Li Yun’s hand, revealing a trace of said with a slight smile: “Brother Li’s folding rule naturally does not have the defect of a cloth tape measure. It can be straightened easily, within one foot The length is under control.”

Li Yun hearing this couldn’t help showing a hint of pride, but before he waited long, he heard Mo Dun’s voice and said: “But…”

“But after all, our arms are limited in length, and barely controlling six feet is already the limit, and the most suitable length for operation is three feet. This is why artisans use the most commonly used three-foot wooden ruler. If this The section length of the folding ruler is reduced to three inches, and the length is reduced to three feet. Ten wooden boards are only one finger thick. In this way, the craftsmen are easy to operate and easy to carry. Wouldn’t it be very popular.”

“Three inches long, one finger thick!” Li Yun looking thoughtful, looking at the folding ruler in the self-help hand, with a little force, he broke off one third directly.

Li Yun is holding a three chi long folding ruler, and doing it back and forth with both hands, it is much more convenient than the previous ten feet long folding ruler, and it can be held in the palm of his hand. Very convenient.

“Li Yun has been taught!” This time Li Yun bowed his head convincingly.

Gongshu Hong couldnt help but feel embarrassed. He didnt expect that Mohist Family Sons few words would really make the folding ruler and cloth ruler shine. He couldnt help but grumble and said: Todays old man is the blessing of three lifetimes, which I can witness with my own eyes. Fortunately for the craftsman, nowadays a cloth tape can easily measure long distances, while a folding ruler can easily measure three feet distance. The old man heard that Marquis of Mo once said that he would also manufacture a ruler to compete with the apprentice. Can the old man be an eye-opener.”

Li Yun’s heart moved, now that the ruler for short and long distance measurements has been determined, only the middle distance ruler is still blank. If so, Mohist Family Son can The perfect solution to the middle-distance ruler measuring one meter distance, Great Tang’s wooden ruler is already perfect.

“This is a game of A certain Mohist and the bad guys. I didn’t expect it would alarm so many people and let everyone laugh.” Mo Dun said with a bitter smile.

Gongshu Hong pressed forward step by step: “Although it is a game, it is enough to benefit the craftsmen of the world. Marquis of Mo can’t be humble!”

Mo Dun haha smiled, He stretched out his hand and grabbed a palm-sized item from the pocket of Mohist Residence and stretched it out in front of everyone. Seriously said: “I’m showing my ugliness.”

Everyone immediately looked intently and saw it in the palm of Mo Dun. A white metal item appeared in everyone’s realization.

“This is iron!” Gongshu Hong said uncertainly.

“To be precise, it should be steel!” Mo Dun nodded said, “This is the steel rule made by A certain Mohist!”

“Steel rule!” Everyone suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Yun made a folding ruler out of wooden blocks, and Wu Meiniang made a cloth tape out of cloth rope. No one thought that the material used by Mohist Family Son turned out to be steel. I am afraid that the world has not yet made steel. The precedent of the ruler.

“Steel can also be made into a ruler!” Not only is it incredible for others, even Wu Meiniang can’t believe it. If you know that steel is harder than wood, how can it be palm-size?

Mo Dun explained: Everyone knows that steel is tenacious, but they dont know that the flexibility of steel is also excellent. A thin steel sheet can be bent, and once let go, it can quickly return to its original shape. “

Gongshu Hong solemnly nodded, he often deals with steel, and he agrees with Mohist Family Son’s steel ruler in his heart.

Therefore, A certain Mohist asked Mohist Village to specially refine a batch of highly flexible steel, and rolled it into a thickness of about one centimetre. Cut it into a finger-wide steel strip with the most precise engraving. The scale, assisted by Mohist Familys mechanics, finally has the masterpiece Im waiting for, the steel ruler. Mo Dun seriously said.

At this moment, almost everyone’s eyes are on the steel box in Mo Dun’s hands.

When Mo Dun saw it, he stretched out his hand, and pulled out a six-foot-long steel ruler from the palm-sized box. However, this is not the end. With Mo Dun’s continuous movements, A two zhang steel ruler appeared in front of everyone.

“Two zhang-long rulers.” Everyone’s expressions could not help but Hao Ran, Mohist Family Son only asked them to make ten feet long is enough, and he himself asked more, so he made it directly The ruler of two zhang is also controlled by one hand.

“A certain Mohist made a two zhang-long ruler, in fact, for the convenience of operation, the distance measurement must be accurate, often requiring two people to cooperate, and this steel ruler only needs one person to operate it. Make sure its accurate. I can stand still and I can easily measure the distance to the bridge deck, Mo Dun said as he picked up a two zhang ruler, folded it in half, and pressed the end directly against the bridge, continuously Slide the bent part.

“One foot, two feet, five minutes and two centimeters!” Mo Dun pressed his hand and saw that the steel ruler that was originally bent was stretched again and returned to its original shape.

Gongshu Hong cant help but sigh, Mohist Family Son really is out of the ordinary. This steel ruler can be rigid or flexible. It is simply a combination of a wooden ruler and a cloth ruler. This alone is better than the other two. People dont know how much.

“One centimetre!” But Li Yun heard this precise number. He could not help being frowned. He was only accurate to the fifth centimetre at most. He really didnt know how Mohist Family Son measured one centimetre. from.

Mo Dun saw Li Yuns doubts and smiled triumphantly: Wooden rulers and cloth rulers are limited by material limitations, so naturally they cant be precise enough. However, steel rulers dont have such defects. Accurate to one centimeter.”

Mo Dun said, applying a slight force to the steel ruler in his hand, and then immediately moved it horizontally in front of Li Yun and Gongshu Hong.

“Sure enough, it is accurate to centimetres!” When the two saw the fine scale on the steel ruler, they were shocked. The scale of the steel ruler was engraved like a wooden ruler, and then printed with ink. , And once the wooden ruler is too precise, it will destroy the structure of the wood block and will soon wear out. The cloth tape measure is the same. If it is too precise, even the most advanced ink of Mohist Periodical will spread into a ball of ink. The sturdiness of the steel perfectly solves these two hidden dangers. Under the sophisticated instruments of the Mohist Family, the width of one centimetre is perfectly carved, which is extremely easy to distinguish.

“Apart from this, the best use of steel rulers is to measure objects within the body, especially the measurement inside the house, which can be done easily by one person.” Mo Dun said, while showing the steel ruler The various ingenious use of, it is simply a perfect collection of the advantages of folding rulers, wooden rulers and cloth tape measures in one body.

“Even when we are done using it, we only need to gently loosen the concealed buckle, and the steel ruler can be perfectly folded in the palm. In fact, this should be called a steel tape measure.” Mo Dun’s hand Move, turn on a switch of the steel ruler, and with the sound of crash-bang, the steel ruler automatically retracts without being controlled by anyone and turns into a palm-size again.

“Master, really amazing!” Wu Meiniang admired sincerely. Mo Dun’s hand is much more powerful than the manual operation of her cloth tape.

“Mohist Family Mechanism Art!”

Li Yun couldnt help being proud. Mohist Familys mechanism art is the most proud of Mohist Family, and Mohist Familys mechanism art is also Xiangli Clan. The long term of lineage.

However, at this point, Li Yun guessed wrong. The clockwork technology inside the steel tape measure is not owned by Mohist Village, but is taken from Dengling Clan lineage dolls, from a street performer Mohist Technology, which is so prolific to help the national economy and peoples livelihood, has to say that it is good fortune.

“Mohist Family Three Masters!” Gongshu Hong could not help but sigh.

The Mohist Family has been silent for a thousand years, and there are still such talents. The Gongshu Family is so poor that everyones wisdom cant be cracked. But the Mohist Family three people actually built a ruler, directly covering the near, middle and far. Distance ruler.

Gongshu Hong can predict that these three rulers are already on the market and will surely be popular in Great Tang, and the original Lu Ban ruler may no longer be able to compete with them.

“I lost!” Li Yun calmly said, this time he didn’t complain at all, because Mo Dun’s steel tape measure is too amazing.

Mocun shook his head and said: “This time, not at all losers, the three rulers can be said to have their own strengths, but how can they divide winners and losers? Even the Lu Ban ruler most commonly used by carpenters today is under construction. It is not an exaggeration to seek the advantage and avoid the evil in the house. It is not an exaggeration to make a tie in this round.”

“It should be so!” Gongshu Hong said by the slope.

So far, the battle between the two lines of Mohist Family has officially come to an end. During the three matches, Xiangfu Clan lineage Li Yun faced Xiangli Clan lineage Mo Dun.

Two lose and one draw!
