Chapter 31 Farewell
After saying goodbye to Deng’s mother, the matter of the eldest child has come to an end for the time being, but Liu Yi always feels that he is lucky enough to be too lucky. Looking back at this moment, Deng Ai seems to have always liked to run to him since he moved into this copycat.
The attribute of attracting phoenixes is to attract such talents, right? Doesn’t phoenixes refer to women?
After shook his head and put aside these messy thoughts, Liu Yi began to prepare for leaving. After walking around, he finally had to go back to Zhuge Liang. He also encountered such a lot of bad things. If he had known this, he would have gone directly to important Jingxiang towns such as Xiangyang or Jiangling.
He greeted several bandits and brought him a bunch of wood. Because of the help of Lu Lingqi and Wei Yue, Liu Yi is now a little prestige among these bandits. He just asked them to help do some hard work, but no one would refuse. There were even many mountain people who were preparing to leave with Lu Lingqi.
"Mr. Liu, what are you doing?" A gangster watched Liu Yi pick and choose among the wood, pick out a few pieces of wood of about the same thickness and start processing. He came up with him curiously and asked.
"Are you going to leave when you make a carriage?" Liu Yi said, but his subordinates did not stop and cut the wood in his hand into three fingers-wide wooden sticks.
"Yi...Brother Yi, I... We... don't have wood... that can be made of wheels here, right?" Dawa sat on the ground beside him, looking curiously as Liu Yi carefully adjusted the three-finger-wide wooden stick with a carving knife to form a concave and protruding on one side. It seemed that the protruding part in front was very consistent with the sunken part behind.
"No, so I have to think of other ways." Liu Yi explained with a smile, but his hands kept moving. Afterimages appeared in everyone's gaze of amazement. Wooden sticks that looked almost identical were formed in Liu Yi's hands.
The earliest mature wheels were made of metal rings on the outside of the wooden wheel. Most of the wooden wheels were cross-sectioned in a relatively old tree, polished into a circle, tightened metal snails and added some other materials to prevent the wooden wheels from being fractured, so the wheel requirements for wheels are generally the highest.
However, with the development of the process and the fewer and fewer trees suitable for making wheels, craftsmen began to try to bake some tough woods, adjust the curvature, and make them. However, that kind of method is more laborious and cannot be made in a short while.
There is a method similar to combining building blocks in the Mohist arts, which can reduce the requirements for wood. Just like building blocks, divide a circle into dozens or hundreds of parts, make grooves between each other and form building blocks together. The stability is no worse than that made by traditional craftsmanship, and even if it is broken, it can be replaced, without the need for the entire wheel to be discarded, and the size of the wheel is no longer limited by the material.
In Liu Yi's view, although this is one of the most basic theories in the Mohist mechanism, its significance is more important than those skilled mechanisms. This is a breakthrough in concept.
Liu Yi now uses this method. The seemingly flat wooden sticks actually have a certain slope. When assembled, they are a wheel with a diameter of about one meter.
His skillful talent has now been pointed to level 6 by him, and he has given all his strength. In less than half an hour, four wheels with a diameter of one meter were formed in his hands.
This is the first time that everyone around saw this way of making wheels. It sounds quite magical, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I also thought that the principle was quite simple and I was not very surprised. What was even more surprising was Liu Yi's speed.
"If sir, if he uses this skill in martial arts, there will probably be another famous general in the world." Lu Lingqi and Wei Yue came over at some point, looked at the four wheels, and exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts.
Forget it, if you fight and kill, you will lose your life by accident.
Liu Yi obviously did not accept this statement, and smiled politely and began to polish the bearings. This required relatively hard wood. In addition, Liu Yi did not use the method of studs to tie the carriage, but used this module to assemble it. In order to relieve the pressure of the bearing, Liu Yi also specially made some small tripods to spread the force.
After Liu Yi made the bearings, he did not use an axe. He just used a carving knife to continuously polish a pile of wood into building blocks of different lengths, and then placed them in different categories. At that time, there was almost no shadow in the knife, and the people who saw it were secretly shocked.
If the sword is longer than carved, but is used to fight against people, even if Liu Yi does not know any martial arts, it will be difficult for ordinary people to be his opponent with the speed of the sword.
Liu Yi took more than an hour to carve these woods. Many people were bored and they all scattered, leaving only the big baby. Lu Lingqi was still sitting beside him and watching with relish. The big baby was purely boring, while Lu Lingqi was curious about how Liu Yi used this pile of wood to make a carriage.
"It's almost done!"
Liu Yi stretched hard and looked at the wood he had classified and satisfied.
"?"
Lu Lingqi looked at the pile of wood blankly, looked at Liu Yi in confusion and said, "Sir, is this done?"
Liu Yi nodded without explaining much. He first took a few pieces and wrapped them in two layers of the outer edge of the wheel, then completely wrapped the wheel with bamboo strips, and then began to assemble the wood one by one.
Liu Yi also discovered that it was also level 4, but there was a gap. The last time he used to make a donkey cart, it took him three days. This time, with the experience of the last time, coupled with sufficient manpower and materials and the skillful talent of the level 6, it took less than two hours to do it again. Especially the improvement of skillful talent made him more than twice as fast as before?
Of course, the most important factor was that the last time he only took him two days to find the right materials.
In Lu Lingqi's astonished gaze, a carriage that was nine feet wide and about two feet long was assembled by Liu Yi in less than half an hour, and there were even beautiful carvings on the carriage.
Liu Yi looked at the carriage in front of him with satisfaction. It took a short time, but the attributes were better than the last time.
Well-made carriage: Stable +14, Sturdy +15, Comfort +12, Spacious +3, Lightweight +13
Woodworking experience +750, carving experience +330
"It's time for the village leader to come." Another well-crafted item was made. Liu Yi was quite satisfied. Seeing Lu Lingqi beside him, he said with a smile.
"Sir, please tell me." Lu Lingqi glanced at the carriage in front of her and nodded to Liu Yi.
"Dawa and the others are going to go back to Xinye to visit famous teachers. Now I am no longer able to go north. I also want to go back to Longzhong to visit some old friends. I wonder if the village leader can send me some soldiers to accompany me? After I visit my friends, I can meet with the village leader." Liu Yi asked with a smile.
Lu Lingqi still has a big deal to do, so he is reluctant to give up.
"This..." Lu Lingqi hesitated and said, "Then what if Liu Sandao leads the two of them to accompany the husband back to his hometown?"
"But." Liu Yi nodded. The most important thing is to recognize the way and be able to take action when encountering danger. This time he went back to communicate with Zhuge Liang. He was planning to make a living here in the future. Even if Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he would not be able to rise immediately. Zhuge Liang is a wise man and not a god. Even if he had to rely on it, he could not delay his ability improvement.
After agreeing on the idea, Liu Yi asked someone to bring his property into the carriage, then greeted Deng's mother and Dawa who had been cleaned up, and then took Liu Sandao and two other bandits into the carriage and left the village.
"Young Master, why did you let him go?" Wei Yue, who came after hearing the news, wanted to stop him but could no longer stop him. He said to Lu Lingqi helplessly.
"Uncle Wei, I think sir is a trustworthy person." Lu Lingqi shook her head and said seriously.
