Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seven: Shun Abduction of Yan Liben
What to do about this?
After thinking for a long time, Li Min finally thought of a solution.
Li Min couldn't help but said to Yan Liben: "Liben, you can't learn this painting technique now that the time has not come. When the time comes in the future, I will naturally teach you. By the way, you wait here while I go.
Let me show you some drawings."
After that, Li Min went back to the room first.
Yan Liben was not only a painter, he was also an architect.
What Li Min liked about Yan Liben was not his identity as a painter, but his identity as an architect.
If this is the case, the best way to attract Yan Liben is to start with architecture.
Therefore, Li Min decided to show Yan Liben some architectural styles of later generations.
Especially those that combine Chinese and Western styles, let’s see if they can give Yan Liben some inspiration.
Soon, Li Min found some classic architectural styles of later generations in the system, and then printed out two pieces of paper.
After thinking about it, I printed out a structural diagram of the urban underground drainage system and took it out as well.
As for Yan Liben, when he heard that Li Min was looking for drawings for him, his face couldn't help but be filled with anticipation.
Although he could not learn the most exquisite painting skills for the time being, this made Yan Liben feel a little regretful.
But it would also be good if we could see more clever architectural styles.
After Li Min walked out of the house and handed the three architectural structural drawings to Yan Liben, Yan Liben immediately took them and looked at them.
When he saw the first two pictures, which combined Chinese and Western architectural styles, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.
Yan Liben has extraordinary attainments in architecture, but currently, he has fallen into a bottleneck.
It is too difficult to make progress.
But the two drawings that His Highness Prince Liang found were like opening a window in front of him, allowing him to see a brand new world!
Why doesn't this make Yan Liben ecstatic?
This is a very beautiful building that has both the elegance of traditional architecture and a liveliness that traditional architecture does not have. It really opened his eyes.
But soon, Yan Liben frowned, feeling that these two drawings were unreasonable.
Yan Liben couldn't help but said to Li Min: "Your Highness, although these two drawings of yours are cleverly designed, in my opinion, they are of little practical use and cannot be built at all."
Um?
How can this be?
This is obviously a building that has been built by later generations. Now you are telling me that it cannot be built?
Li Minqiang suppressed his laughter and said: "Liben, don't worry, the shapes in these two drawings can definitely be built."
Yan Liben shook his head seriously and said: "Your Highness, look at this building. It is three stories high. With so many buildings on the top floor, the wall below cannot bear it. It will definitely break within a few years.
"
"If you want to solve this problem, you have to thicken the wall of the building below. But if it is thickened, it will inevitably cause the lower floor to be extremely bloated, greatly reducing the usable area, and destroying the beauty of the building."
After hearing what Yan Liben said, Li Min didn't take it seriously at first, but he soon came around to it.
Yes, I almost forgot a question.
In this era, there is no concrete, no reinforced concrete.
Yes, that's right, according to the technological capabilities of this era, it is indeed impossible to build it.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "Liben, the problem you mentioned can actually be solved with cement and steel bars."
After speaking, Li Min explained the characteristics of reinforced cement concrete.
After hearing Li Min's explanation, Yan Liben seemed a little doubtful.
After all, it was something he had never seen before, or even heard of.
However, after Li Min's sworn confirmation, Yan Liben also believed it.
After all, his master had no reason to lie to him.
When Yan Liben learned that cement and steel bars could be produced, he suddenly became excited.
After all, his design is now limited by materials.
And if there is reinforced cement concrete, then he can design more complex and changeable architectural styles.
Thinking of this, Yan Liben couldn't help but asked excitedly: "Master, when will we be able to make cement and steel bars? I really want to see the power of steel bars and cement."
Hearing Yan Liben's words, Li Min couldn't help but curl his lips in a vague way.
Do you know why my teacher showed you these drawings?
Isn't it just to prepare for taking you away?
If Weishi can make steel bars and cement now, when Weishi goes to fiefdom, will you still go with him?
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but said: "Liben, there are still some details missing in the production of reinforced concrete. I think it will take less than a year to completely overcome these problems."
Hearing the master's words, Yan Liben couldn't help but nodded excitedly.
It’s less than a year. In such a short time, he can definitely afford to wait!
After reading the first two drawings, Yan Liben picked up the third drawing.
When he saw the third drawing, Yan Liben's face suddenly showed a look of shock.
"Master, what is this drawing about?"
This drawing?
Li Min saw that the charm of this drawing might be even more attractive than the previous two.
Once an underground drainage facility with such advanced concepts is seen by an architect, what a pity it would be if he could not install it himself?
And now in Chang'an City, is there room for his designs to be displayed?
Obviously, there is none.
After all, the construction of Chang'an City has been completed, and it is simply impossible to build such a huge underground drainage facility.
If you want to set up this thing, you must follow Li Min.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but said to Yan Liben: "Liben, this is a city's underground drainage system. If this drainage system is used in the city, even if it rains heavily, it will not affect urban travel."
After listening to Li Min's words, Yan Liben couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, but at the same time he shook his head with regret.
Seeing Yan Liben's expression, Li Min felt relieved.
Yan Liben's curiosity has been successfully aroused by him.
However, what we have now may still be slightly insufficient.
But it doesn't matter. In the following time, Li Min decided to come up with some concepts of modern architecture bit by bit.
Of course, it is mainly about the arrangement and layout of the city.
When Yan Liben saw this, couldn't there be fierce sparks?
Couldn't it make him want to experiment more impatiently?
And where is the platform for him to perform?
Well, this is only possible if you follow him to the fiefdom!
