Chapter 307 314-315

Zhou Huan came out after changing his coat and found Yin Lian wandering around the semi-finished product, so he said: "I don't know what the wooden cows and horses in history looked like. If I have to say it, I'm probably just making the wooden cows and horses in my heart. History may have a little It’s an exaggeration, but we do have a much stronger physical knowledge base than before. Even with the same materials and conditions, I would like to try to make the best 'Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse'."

Yin Lian walked around this "wooden cow and horse" for a long time, and said: "It looks really interesting, can I ask how this thing works?"

Seeing that she was really interested, Zhou Hun immediately became interested and asked, "Do you want to see the design drawing?"

Yin Lian asked: "Is it possible?"

Zhou Hurricane said: "It doesn't matter. This thing is actually useless, it's just for fun, and it has no technical level."

He said so, Yin Lian naturally pushed the boat along.She doesn't study mechanics, but she has a solid foundation in physics. In addition, she has seen a lot of the various drawings sent up during this period, and it took her a little effort to understand Zhou Huan's drawing.

As Zhou Hurricane said, the drawings did not involve difficult techniques, and did not even use too many modern materials.Its main components are all kinds of wooden parts, and only the bearings and other places are considered to be worn out. Some modern and mature processing methods are used, but the materials are not made of ready-made modern technology, but the wooden parts are made by themselves. Exquisite and meticulous processing has been carried out, and some biological materials with similar functions have been used.

This thing is indeed the same as what Zhou Hurricane said, and it has no practical value.For him, it is more important to express his feelings.This "Wooden Niu Liuma" generally has the shape of a wooden cow and horse, with a hollow chest and abdomen, and a curved cover on its back.There are six wooden wheels at the bottom of its limbs, and the centers of different wooden wheels are linked together by wooden chains like a bicycle, forming a crawler at the axis, but much looser and simpler than the general track.

The wooden chain is many parts linked together. The mortise and tenon structure is used, but it is not the same as the traditional tenon and tenon structure. Obviously, some changes have been made according to the design requirements. The tenons are connected with waxed wooden balls to make the chain more flexible. and firm.

But it's still too much trouble.In real ancient times, it might be more practical to use hemp rope instead.

Of course, the surprising isn't here.The point is that the internal bracket of this thing is movable, and the simple and exquisite wooden joints are combined in a simplified way, allowing users to use extremely simple operations to make it climb downhill, walk and brake, Even through reasonable folding, it directly becomes a box.

... A simplified version of Transformers! ?

This "wooden cow and horse" has a delicate and rough mechanical structure, the rough is the material, and the exquisite is the technology.In a sense, this work is more like a show of excessive force.

However, if the precise design can retain the backbone and reduce the complexity of the manufacturing process, it can explode with inestimable energy in certain worlds.

Yin Lian said: "Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. Your thing...how low is the technical content?"

Zhou Xiong said: "Thank you for the compliment, but in the final analysis, it is a toy. Generally speaking, people with a little mechanical knowledge can make it. At the current level, many people have the corresponding knowledge. But many years ago in ancient times , Those who can build a compass, a seismograph, and a flying bird, how did they do it? Thinking about it is amazing."

Yin Lian said: "The initial industrial revolution only lasted a hundred years, and even the birth of machinery only lasted more than a dozen decades, but a huge number of scientific creations have sprung up. It can be seen that the accumulation of some technologies does not require It's not such a long time. Since this is the case, if someone has the corresponding inheritance and a little bit of talent, it is not so magical to do these things."

This is a very strange way of thinking, Zhou Hun looked at Yin Lian, a little surprised.

Yin Lian said: "You don't think that in the thousands of years of history, these people are suddenly blessed to the soul and completed a leapfrog technological evolution?"

Zhou Hurricane really thought so.

However, after Yin Lian said this, he couldn't help but fell into thinking.

Yin Lian said: "Just imagine, our population in China has always been very large. On average, on this land, hundreds of millions of people experience changes from birth to death every hundred years, and there are as many as several Hundreds of millions, at least tens of millions, among these people, is it possible that only those who are written in the history books have created great inventions?"

"No, among these, there must be many unknown people who have connected the inheritance of these technologies and the evolution of theories between the previous record and the next record. This kind of inheritance may appear silently at any time , and then quietly annihilated hundreds of years later. But in any case, the accumulation is real, so all great inventions are not castles built out of thin air-do you think it is more reasonable to think about it this way? "

Zhou Hurricane was silent for a moment, but smiled, and said, "Yin Lian, your thoughts... are really interesting."

Yin Lian said: "Am I not right?"

Zhou Hurricane shook his head and said, "No, think about it carefully, what you said is indeed very reasonable, and it should be such a thing. It's just that I have never thought about it before."

Then he thought for a while, but suddenly sighed, and said: "If you think according to your thinking, it's not that no one in history has really explored the threshold of modern technology. It's just that before the real quantitative change leads to a qualitative change... there is a fault. And The severance of this technology is not once or twice, but countless times...?"

Yin Lian said: "This is just a hypothesis."

But it's a plausible hypothesis.

Zhou Hurricane felt embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Although I knew the impact of the word "self-preservation" on the development of science before, I only realized its weight after you said it like this."

Yin Lian: "Huh?"

She paused for a while before she realized the thoughts behind Zhou Hurricane's words, she couldn't help but sneered, and said, "Do you think this is my fault?"

Zhou Hurricane: "Isn't it?"

Yin Lian said: "This statement is so interesting."

After hearing this, Zhou Hurricane felt that her words were a bit meaningful, and asked, "Isn't it?"

Yin Lian asked: "Do you think people these days don't cherish themselves?"

"At least... now there is no such thing as passing on sons but not daughters, right?"

Yin Lian said: "However, in this world, how many people and how many organizations are willing to disclose their unique technology and technology to the public?"

Zhou Hurricane was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Of course there are! There are many people who do this, don't they?"

Yin Lian said: "Of course there is, but tell me, among all the individuals and organizations with priority technologies, how many are willing to share technology? What percentage are willing to share the core technology that they rely on for survival?"

Zhou Hurricane choked for a moment, and said after a long while, "Since it is the core technology we rely on for survival, of course it is impossible to share it."

Yin Lian said: "Since this is the case, what did the ancients do wrong? For many families, because they can really rely on very few things and their abilities are limited, technology is the most stupid thing they can think of. , but also the most effective way.”

After hearing this, Zhou Huan was silent for a while, and felt that what Yin Lian said was quite reasonable.

But although he can't get around, one thing is for sure.From the perspective of historical evolution, this kind of conservatism is not conducive to progress.

In the end, he could only insist: "But this approach does not do any good for technological progress."

Yin Lian said: "Do you think the patent system is good for technological progress?"

Hurricane Zhou froze for a moment, then replied, "Of course."

Yin Lian said: "The so-called technology secrecy is nothing more than independent patent protection in disguise. It is really not good for technology dissemination, but it is good for technology inheritance. Sometimes, it is not the technology that is easier to learn. It is easier to pass on. On the contrary, in an era of limited resources, it has always been more valuable technology that more people are willing to learn and inherit."

"But if more people can learn it more easily, there will be better development, won't it?"

Yin Lian said, "Zhou Huan, do you know what determines the most popular majors to apply for the university?"

Zhou Huan didn't realize Yin Lian's intention of asking this question.

Yin Lian himself answered: "It is determined by the economic value and the difficulty of employment. No matter what age people are, only knowledge that is beneficial to others is what they are eager to learn. Therefore, in the absence of resources, or survival In the age of threats, the more precious the knowledge and technology, the more people will risk their lives to inherit, steal, and protect."

Zhou Hurricane finally understood Yin Lian's meaning.

He was lost in thought.

Although he wanted to find the flaws in Yin Lian's words, after thinking about it for a long time, he actually felt that Yin Lian's logic was completely self-consistent.But this is a bit wrong, completely inconsistent with... the current universal values.

Normally, the current society believes that self-preservation is the root cause of the failure of ancient technology to develop.In fact, even schools are so oriented.In this way, Yin Lian's idea can be said to be quite bold and nonsense.

Zhou Hun asked: "If the relationship between the stagnation of ancient science and technology has nothing to do with this practice...then why has the development of science and technology in my country been so slow in history?"

Yin Lian said: "This is the difference between China and Europa when the industrial revolution happened. In fact, when it comes to technology, China's development has been slow, but it has been advancing steadily, while Europa's development is Explosive. Zhou Hun, why do you think it is?"

This question is too deep.Zhou Hurricane had many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't express them logically for a while.

Yin Lian answered again: "Because the technology tree is different. When the structure of the entire society and the survival of the people are threatened in Europe, what is sought is a technological breakthrough. As for our country, if the first disagreement is due to the contention of a hundred schools of thought At that time, when Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism defeated all kinds of craftsmen, we were destined to take the route of the rule of man. That is to say, we paid more attention to relying on politics, laws and ideas to transform the world, rather than technology."

Zhou Hurricane said: "So we went the wrong way from the beginning?"

Yin Lian listened, but looked at him meaningfully, and said: "Right or wrong is not what we can judge now. Although it is indeed a technological society, who knows, we are not still on the road now?"

On the road... that's an interesting statement.

Zhou Hun savored it for a while before he guessed that what Yin Lian meant was that regardless of whether a society ruled by man or a technological society, this will not be the final form of the current society.

They are still on the road, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Zhou Hurricane found it interesting to talk to Yin Lian.She was different from the girls he usually saw at school, and if he had to say it, she had a subtle sense of being a country of her own.

This girl, alone, seems like a country.

She is too thoughtful, too assertive.A person seems to be like the king of a country. Under her rule, thoughts and talents are staged in various ways, but she sits in the center and remains motionless.

Yin Lian is indeed very beautiful, but Zhou Huan has never been a person who pays attention to appearance, and his reaction to hormones is relatively slow.Yin Lian is more like a wonderful novel, because it is soul-stirring to read, so Zhou Huan likes her.

Every time the two communicate, Zhou Huan can gain something new, novel, but full of wisdom.

Who wouldn't love such a friend?

Zhou Huan took Yin Lian to meet the gold and stone experts she met.

Luo Qing is 65 years old this year. In fact, he was born in Yeluzi in the early days and did not receive reliable professional education.I used to work in a goldware store in my early years. Later, by chance, I learned simple gold jewelry making from the master in the store. After many rounds, I worked in jade stores, antique stores, and handicraft stores. I was 36 years old. He was spotted by a well-known sculptor and became an apprentice.

Now he himself is a well-known sculptor and collector, but because he made his fortune relatively late, he still maintains the simple and down-to-earth style of life in the early days. Not only is he more cautious in collecting, but he is also willing to accept some work within his ability to accumulate at this age. pension.Among them, consulting and intermediary work are the most accepted. First, the current physical condition of the elderly is not embarrassing, and second, the money is relatively quick and easy.

Before Yin Lian's arrival, Zhou Huan had already made an appointment with the old man, and when they arrived, the old man's daughter was already waiting there.Although I had heard that the person who came was a little girl, I was still taken aback when I saw Yin Lian.

She is Luo Qing's eldest daughter, she looks about forty years old, but as a woman of this age, she does not have the exhaustion and fireworks of ordinary middle-aged women, nor does she have the ability and strength of elite women. The whole is clean and pure, presumably in another 20 years, she will still be that kind of innocent and enthusiastic old lady. 33 Novel Network

After Luo Ying saw Yin Lian, she seemed to be in disbelief. She stared at her one after another, and she didn't react until Zhou Hurricane spoke, and said, "Yes, Dad is waiting for you in the study. But it's temporary. A group of guests, I may trouble you to wait in the living room for a while." Then she turned her gaze to Yin Lian, "This lady... is her surname Yin?"

Yin Lian smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Yin Lian."

"Hey! Good!" Luo Ying replied, then looked at Yin Lian with curiosity, and said, "It's so beautiful. You are so beautiful. You look good on TV, and you look better in real life than on TV. Are you right? Is jade also interested?"

Yin Lian replied: "Yes, I want to know a little bit about this."

Luo Ying smiled immediately, and said, "It's good to know more about it. Stones are very interesting and can bring a lot of joy to life. Even if you don't become a sculptor, knowing this knowledge can add a lot of fun to life. "

This is not wrong, but Yin Lian did not want to learn this knowledge for this reason, but for a more utilitarian purpose - there is no need to say this to spoil the fun.

After inviting Zhou Hun and Yin Lian to sit down in the living room, Luo Ying went in and informed Luo Qing.However, it was obvious that Luo Qing was still busy. Open the door of the study room a little, and you could hear the heated debate coming from inside.

Luo Ying was quiet for a while when she entered, but soon she came out with a trace of embarrassment on her face, still holding two booklets in her hand.She said, "We'll have to wait a while over there. How about I show you my father's collection first? Or I have some related albums here, so you can take a look first?"

Yin Lian had already heard Zhou Huan's introduction about the situation before, and knew that Luo Qing's main collections were all kinds of sculptures and seals, and the gold and stone collections were almost all completed works, which did not meet Yin Lian's needs.

In contrast, looking at the photo album may be able to see some needed content.

Yin Lian chose the second proposal.

Before Zhou Huan made an appointment to meet, he had told Luo Qing the specific content that Yin Lian wanted to consult, but at this time Luo Ying handed over the album, Yin Lian just glanced at it and knew that it was exactly what he needed.Obviously, before they came, Luo Qing also made some preparations in advance.

Although it was unpleasant that the other party didn't spare time when the appointment time came, but seeing that the other party's attitude was not contemptuous, Yin Lian didn't have a bad impression.

She looked at the atlas for a while, and found that the contents of this atlas were indeed very complete, including introductions to various jade, crystal ores, and various other stone types suitable for collection.

She glanced at the back cover, and found that there was no publication information, and it looked more like a collection of materials compiled and printed privately.

When she realized this, Yin Lian wanted to buy one.Ever since she started her cross-dimensional exploration, she has been very interested in collecting such encyclopedias, and now there is even a special space magic tool for storing various illustrations, encyclopedias, and reference books in different categories.So far, there have been a lot of mineral phase smelting and extraction data, but the jade crystal ore data is basically still blank. Yin Lian feels that collecting a wave is more conducive to future inquiries.

She looked at the illustrated book for a while, and remembered several representative stone species that could be used as experiments in her heart, and then the door of the study opened.

A man in a suit and leather shoes came out first, followed by a sullen young man not far behind.

The other party was stunned, probably because of Yin Lian's outstanding appearance, or because he recognized her identity.But Yin Lian was stunned this time because the opposite was an old acquaintance.

The boy who came out with the man was named Lu Xi. Yin Lian knew him in her previous life, but they didn't know each other very well.The other party once showed her goodwill to her, but because of some kind of worry, Yin Lian was not interested in him, and even went out of her way to avoid the other party's overtures.

Yin Lian has always been a very courageous person. With her identity in her previous life, one of the reasons why she was able to break the situation was because she dared to use her strength to fight.Generally speaking, when she comes into contact with important people, she may feel awe, but not fear, and even if she does, she will restrain herself with reason.

But Lu Xi is different, Yin Lian has always felt that this guy is a bit self-destructive.The situation when they first met and the rumors about Lu Xi all illustrate this point.Of course, Yin Lian would not want to get close to this kind of person, nor would he want to play with fire and set himself on fire.

She is dying.

Of course Yin Lian is not afraid of him now.

Lu Xi himself is the only son of Lu Mingxu, owner of an internationally renowned luxury brand.But this only son has to be questioned. His father actually has another illegitimate son, who is about six or seven years old at this time. I can't remember the exact age, because Yin Lian didn't pay attention to it.Lu Xi's mother was mentally abnormal, and her father cheated all the year round, so she didn't pay much attention to Lu Xi.As a result, the future big entrepreneur developed a bright mind but a gloomy personality.About five years later, Lu Mingxu passed away from cancer and left a will, which distributed the properties and shares under his name equally to his legitimate and illegitimate children.

At that time, people in the industry who heard about this incident were in an uproar, but Lu Xi was calm and accepted the arrangement silently.Not long after, he expressed that he was not interested in the company, and reached an agreement with Lu Mingxu's mistress in private. He even sold the entire company's shares to the other party. Because the shares themselves were not cheap, in order to acquire these shares, the other party not only transferred A large amount of real estate and a loan from the bank.

At that time, the company's operating conditions were still very good on the surface, so in the eyes of outsiders, what Lu Xi did was undoubtedly a loss-making business.

But things soon changed.

As the chairman, Lu Mingxu originally owned the most shares in the company. These shares were distributed among his two sons, and each of them was not enough to decide the company's decision-making. But if they were gathered in the same hands, the situation would be completely different.

And at this time, the company's largest shareholders were Lu Mingxu's twelve or thirteen-year-old youngest son who was raised extremely arrogantly, and his materialistic mother who was a mistress.

What happened next was almost predictable. Lu Xi set up another company, and when the time was right, he directly poached the two most important agents of the original company. As for the illegitimate child, I don't know if he did anything, anyway, the child made trouble. A lot of unimaginable news came out, and finally the CEO resigned angrily. Although it was barely supported by the efforts of several veterans, the state of the company went from bad to worse.But this is not the most bloody news.

In the most bloody news, Lu Mingxu's mistress raised three lovers with his inheritance, and one of his lovers had AIDS. When it was finally revealed, Lu Mingxu's reputation was completely lost, and the whole world knew about the green on his head. The prairie is ready for horse farms.

If it's just like this, everyone has no evidence to prove that these things have something to do with Lu Xi.But Lu Xi did something horrifying - after his mistress died, he moved his mother's tomb away from Lu Mingxu's side, and buried his mistress together with Lu Mingxu.

... How much hatred?

That's why in the previous life when Lu Xi showed affection to Yin Lian, Yin Lian was only afraid to avoid it.She looked at the essence through the phenomenon, and at a glance she saw that this man was not an existence that could be used and thrown away at all. On the contrary, he was more likely to be killed by him after using him and burn his skull into ceramics to drink water every day.

Her life was hard enough, she didn't need to match wits with a pervert.

To sum up, Yin Lian was very impressed with Lu Xi.But the strange thing is that in his previous life, Lu Ximing had fallen in love with Yin Lian at first sight, but his attitude at this time was very flat, even if his eyes met, his expression was indifferent.

Yin Lian stroked her hair, thinking that the other party actually likes the type of sister Yu?
