Chapter 18 The Yan Brothers

Yuan Ling and Yan Lide were having a chat beside the trolley.

One of the two is the most outstanding architect of this era and the other is a top architect in the 21st century, with the same topic in this regard.

When I talked to Wei Zheng about the cart, the old guy took advantage of his strong talent and could only tell the general idea.

Yan Lide could see the fundamentals. After talking in detail, there was no barrier. He could tell the key details of the trolley bit by bit, especially the wonderful uses of gears.

Yan Lide heard that he was clattering his legs and screaming.

After talking about the trolley, Yan Lide still had an unfulfilled desire.

Liu Qiner appeared at the right time and arranged the banquet.

Yuan Ling gave Liu Qiner a wink in praise.

Liu Qin'er smiled charmingly.

Very formal banquet.

Yuan Ling and Yan Lide talked about wine.

It was their first time meeting, and they were not familiar with each other. They kept talking about architecture.

As a veritable Minister of Works, Yan Lide has a very profound attainment in construction sites, but Yuan Ling can understand most of what he said. Despite the barriers of the times, he is within the scope of acceptance.

Many of the things that Yuan Ling said were beyond Yan Lide's understanding.

Yan Lide stood up respectfully and said, "The King of Shang talks about architectural mechanics many times, but this architectural mechanics sounds a little unfathomable, and I hope to give me some advice."

This was the first time that Yuan Ling had a serious academic discussion with others in this era and said enthusiastically: "This is a general statement. If we really want to subdivide the projection, moment, force couple, load, constraint, etc. of force. In fact, what I said was already being used and integrated into our lives by the ancients. It just lacked a reasonable tutorial and a complete concept."

Speaking of this, Yuan Ling suddenly remembered what his tutor said when introducing architectural mechanics.

"Architecture is an ancient science from ancient times to the present. Ancient Greek architecture is dignified, elegant, symmetrical, and beautiful. It not only reflects the city-state system, small country and few people, but also reflects the prosperous economy and splendid culture, art and philosophical thoughts at that time. The magnificence of Roman architecture reflects the strong national strength, abundant wealth, huge organizational ability of the ruling group, and the ambitious spirit and luxury. When the Han Prime Minister Xiao He built the Weiyang Palace, he said, "The emperor regards the world as his home, and he cannot be worthy of power without magnificence." Therefore, the pavilion and tower of the Weiyang Palace was pavilion and tower.

The sacred mountains and rivers are listed among them, which has influenced China for thousands of years. Unfortunately, China attaches importance to life rather than artistic skills. Our ancestors integrated many things into life, but failed to let them come out of life and become a kind of knowledge. Just like the simple principle of leverage? Everyone knows that the principle of leverage was discovered by Archimedes, but they did not know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, people had already used this law to fetch water. In the application of mechanics, I can be completely comparable to ancient Greece during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but theories are... "

At that time, the instructor had not finished speaking and shook his head with regret.

Looking at Yan Lide, Yuan Ling suddenly had a whim and said: "Architectural mechanics is an extension of mechanics. There is no special mechanics work from ancient times to the present. Knowledge about mechanics is scattered in various books, such as "Kaogong Ji" that contains inertia research, and "Mo Jing" led by Mozi Modi, and there are also texts that indicate that force is defined as body movement..." Then he used the cluster of arrows, stone casting cars, and cylinder cars as examples to explain in detail.

Yan Lide thought about it carefully for a while and realized: "This explanation is very novel and easy to understand..."

"Yes..." Yuan Ling patted the case and said: "This is theory. The biggest problem we face now is that there is more experience than theory, and more equipment manufacturing is more than mathematics summary. Our bows, our catapults, the houses we build, and the city we plan are unparalleled in the world. What does it rely on? It depends on the talents of our ancestors and the experience passed down from generation to generation. The problem is here. Experience is accumulated, and it is extremely difficult to pass on, which can easily lead to faults. I think we can follow our predecessors and express knowledge in a specific vocabulary for people to learn. Let people understand through theory to improve their understanding of things, and then verify the theory through practical experience to complement each other."

Yan Lide was stunned for a moment and sighed, "What the King of Shang is thinking is very grand. If this mechanics is successful, it can be compared with the mathematics." After a pause, hesitated in his heart, and suddenly slapped himself again, as if he had sobered himself, and said, "Listen to the King of Shang's words is better than reading for ten years. I will be in the Ministry of Works tomorrow, and I will wait for the grand ceremony."

Yuan Ling was dumbfounded and didn't understand why.

Could it be that this historical architectural celebrity has the quirk of slapping himself in the face?

Yan Lide left in a hurry as if he was running away.

Yuan Ling looked strange and couldn't think of the reason. He ignored him now and looked forward to his trip to the Ministry of Works tomorrow.

With nothing to do, Yuan Ling once again flipped out the manuscript left by He Chou.

He Chou is worthy of being a master of Yuwen Kai's reputation. The wealth and knowledge he left behind are exquisite. Today, he can speak freely in front of Yan Lide, which is inseparable from it. After all, he really wants to show what he has learned, saying the projection, moment, force couple, load, and structure strength, stiffness, and stability of the force. It keeps Yan Lide like listening to the heavenly book.

Just as Yuan Ling was fascinated by the sight, Liu Qin'er entered her hand and said, "Prince, this is a prayer sent by Doctor Yan."

Doctor Yan?

Yuan Ling was curious to take it, shouldn’t Yan Lide be the Minister of Works? He was demoted in the blink of an eye?

Looking at the signature "Yan Liben" on the visiting post, I suddenly realized that this was my younger brother.

Yan Lide's younger brother, Yan Liben.

When it comes to Daming, Yan Lide is far inferior to his younger brother.

Yan Liben is known as the myth of painting. "The Six Horses of Zhaoling", "Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties", and "Pictures of Twenty-Four Meaning Officials of Lingyan Pavilion" are all written by him, especially "The Map of the Sage", which is one of the top ten famous paintings in China.

"Please!"

Yuan Ling is particularly enthusiastic about such big shots. Maybe he has the opportunity to draw some famous works for him that have been passed down through the ages in the future, such as the wise and magical martial arts Li Yuanai, and so on. That is really famous for all ages.

Yan Liben is seventy-sixth-parted and has a high forehead and a wide nose. She is wearing literary clothes on the surface, but she has a big waist and a round waist, which is particularly strong, but she lacks a little calmness.

"I heard that the Yan brothers are good at craftsmanship and are full of ingenuity, so I like this. Today I have a detailed discussion with Brother Ling, and I regret meeting them too late. Brother Ling mentioned that my brother's talent and knowledge are more important than him, and he has a great intention to meet each other. He doesn't want the doctor to take the lead."

Yan Liben was very pleased and said, "The King of Shang is too humble. When my brother returned to his house, he talked about the King of Shang, and his words were full of admiration and regrets. He said that the King of Shang was young, but he searched for ancient and modern times, and he would definitely become a great sage like Liu Hui and Zu. But he was too worried and could not help himself. But he didn't, so he came to ask for advice."
