Within a few days, Meng Bai and others brought the craftsmen and presented the first batch of cast samples.
There are five sets of weights and measures in total.
Long ruler, tape measure, ruler...
龠,合,深圳市,dou,dendrobium...
Large and small weights and scale beams.
Xu Ji picked them up one by one and looked at them in his eyes.
These were designed by Professor Chen Ang for him.
One foot, about 23 centimeters.
The smallest ruler is the yardstick, one is exactly one foot long.
Demarcated in decimal system, there are little numbers dotted on the ruler to mark minutes and inches.
This ruler is made of bronze, with some fragrant copper mixed inside, and has a base on it.
In this way, craftsmen have accurate measuring tools when processing small parts.
It doesn’t have to be the same as in the past and it depends entirely on experience.
As for the tape measure, it is made of a type of silk found in mountainous areas.
In the world of mythology, all kinds of strange things happen one after another.
For example, there is a kind of iron silkworm in southwestern Shandong.
This thing only eats the hardest bark on the mulberry tree.
The silk that comes out is hard and black.
The people hated this silkworm deeply.
Because the silk it spins out is basically impossible to be woven into clothes.
Xu Ji discovered from children that they liked to raise this silkworm and use its silk to make slingshots.
As a result, this iron silkworm became Xu Ji's treasure.
Last year, I asked Meng Bai to find a lot of them to raise.
Now, it comes in handy.
Using iron silkworm silk, twist it into thread, and then soak it in fragrant copper to weave it into thin and hard, but rollable and elastic iron silk.
It's perfect for making a tape measure.
Moreover, it can not only be used to make tape measures.
This silkworm will probably become a top raw material in the future, and even breed some unexpected things.
Unlike rulers, tape measures can be made very long. Each of these five tape measures has a lead (ten inches to one inch, ten inches to one foot, ten feet to one foot, and ten feet to one lead). Although it is different from modern standards, readers
can be understood as modern standards).
The long ruler is mainly used for measurement in daily life. It is made of a piece of wood and is three feet long. It is not so precise. It only has inches and no points.
This is to facilitate people's daily use.
Putting down the rulers, Xu Ji looked at the measuring instruments.
Nodding with great satisfaction.
These measuring instruments have both classical beauty and philosophy, as well as modern simplicity.
The weights are also cast with distinct sizes and smooth appearance.
"Very good!" Xu Ji said: "You can take it to the market and use it as a public instrument. Any disputes or criticisms will be based on this weight and measure!"
With them, there are standards for commercial trade in sand and water.
The people also have fairness that they can trust.
good!
Xu Ji knew that these five sets of weights and measures were probably the same as those waterwheels and paper-making utensils. After he left, they inexplicably turned into magic weapons.
such a pity!
Xu Ji sighed, Sha Shui was still too poor.
Otherwise, he would create hundreds of sets at once,
Maybe you can harvest the wool of this mythical world.
pity……
Shashui is too poor!
There is nothing he can do!
There are only three Gongde waterwheels, one Gongde papermaking pool, hundreds of bamboo strips, but only one water tank...
That’s how it is when people are poor and have short ambitions.
Obviously, if you make more, you might be able to harvest more wool and give the people more treasures.
But they are limited by lack of materials and are afraid of failure and waste.
Just like windmills, you can only build one at a time.
Because the investment in this thing is too big.
Just preparing raw materials and processing parts will take a month.
If it fails once, hundreds of craftsmen will work in vain for a month.
He also had to be careful.
………………
Qufu.
The contemporary Duke of Lu looked towards the court.
Most of the immortal descendants who used to be numerous in the past have now gone.
Ji Sun was imprisoned.
There are only a few old men left sitting there in the Meng Sun family.
The Shusun family is still here.
The problem is, even the ancestors have fallen.
Just relying on these three or two kittens, what can be done?
Now, Lu can only count on the intervention of the great powers.
"How did Duke Qi reply?" he asked an envoy who had just returned from a mission.
This is his confidant Zhou Xuan.
The origins of our ancestors are also extraordinary.
Queen Zhou brings the king!
The puppet supported by the two Lich clans once fought with King Ping for the right to be the orthodox person.
Of course, this period of history has been erased by the Golden Immortal from the Upper Realm.
Only a few people know it.
After all, the orthodox teachings of Tangtang, the direct descendant of King Wu, turned out to be a puppet supported by the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan, and even occupied Haojing for a time.
This is such a shame.
Zhou Xuan paid his respects and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I met Duke Qi and talked about the matter of sand and water. I also said that I am willing to offer sand and water to you..."
"Qi Gong agreed at first, but later he regretted it..."
"I inquired in Linzi and learned that Qi and Song are currently at war, and Qi Gong is temporarily unable to help me..."
After hearing this, Duke Lu sighed.
The State of Qi was once the backbone and protective umbrella of many princes, including the State of Lu.
Duke Heng held the divine whip and united the nine princes to rule the world.
The emperor bestowed the crown, and the princes came to court.
For a time, etiquette and law were reestablished and order was restored.
However, the final years of Duke Heng are unknown.
Legend has it that something terrible happened!
This is the backlash of cause and effect, a humane punishment!
Since then, the state of Qi has declined day by day, and the current Duke of Qi has even lost the hegemony of the past.
Even Song State dared to fight with Qi State.
It should be noted that the first king of the Song Dynasty, Duke Xianggong, was severely defeated by Chu in the Battle of Yuhong.
Almost all the ancestral temples and temples perished.
Even his ancestors from the upper world descended to earth and were shot down from the sky by the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom.
It has been in decline ever since.
Such a Song State dared to go to war with Qi State.
There is no hope for Qi State!
"What about Chu?" Lu Gong asked another envoy.
This is a minister who is on an envoy to the State of Chu.
For the state of Lu, when encountering problems, they should turn to Qi first. If Qi cannot do this, they can only rely on the state of Chu.
The envoy bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty... the King of Chu is old..."
When Lu Gong heard this, he could only sigh.
yes!
The King of Chu is old!
Even if he wanted to interfere, I'm afraid he would be powerless.
The old King of Chu cannot protect himself!
But he still refused to give up and asked, "What did the Crown Prince say?"
The envoy replied: "I have not seen the Crown Prince of Chu..."
Duke Lu lowered his head.
He looked at the ministers, these gods, immortals, descendants of immortals.
"Today, thousands more mortals fled Qufu..."
"If this continues, everyone will run away!"
Without mortals, no matter how divine they are, there is nothing they can do.
However, they did not dare to blockade the city and arrest the fugitives.
because……
They were afraid that they would be hoofed by a cow.
The hooves of a cow falling from the sky crushed him to death!
"Your Majesty..." A minister came out: "For the current plan, I am afraid that the only way is to send an envoy to Jiangcheng to pay homage to the Duke of Jin, cry to the Duke of Jin, and ask the immortal king to come down to justice for us!"
"Abolish that traitor and restore our country of Lu to a bright and prosperous world!"
All the ministers bowed their heads and said: "Please send your envoy to Jiangcheng!"
Lu Gong struggled for a few times and finally nodded: "Okay!"
If possible, he would not send anyone to Jiangcheng.
Because the Duke of Jin in Jiangcheng came after Quwo and was not a direct descendant of the Jin Kingdom.
Bowing to Duke Jin means recognizing the legitimacy of Duke Jin.
After Zhou Gong, he bowed his head to the rebellious ministers and traitors.
If this happened in the past, there would be no need to think about it.
But now, it has to be done.
No matter how hard you try, soon, only the immortals will be left in Qufu.
Even the immortals will disappear.
When the time comes, he will be left alone.
If the country is not destroyed, it will be destroyed!
