Just like when it came to the flag system before, we had to consider how the flag should take into account both distance and distance. At that time, Li Mengxi cleverly thought of a way to take into account both distance and distance.

Now, Li Mengxi also considered how to combine the advantages of both pointed bottom and flat bottom on the same wooden pole.

Whether it's related to the previous flag or the current torch stand, it's not too difficult a problem.

The fundamental reason why Li Mengxi was able to make achievements in these places that ordinary people would not pay attention to is simply that he paid attention to them and studied them deeply.

The issue related to the flag that I was thinking about earlier was directly related to military strategy. The issue I am thinking about now, whether the torch stand is stable or not, is directly related to military strategy. Who knows.

There is only one problem that Li Mengxi is worried about now. He is worried about whether the strength of the wooden spikes can hold up when they are nailed into the soil.

When Lu Li lowered the wooden frame, Li Mengxi took a torch and looked closer. He saw that at the bottom of the wooden pole, there was a short conical wooden thorn as long as a fingernail in the middle. Fortunately, the tip of the wooden thorn was broken a little.

Point being, the wood spurs are generally intact and should last a few times without breaking.

The fact that it can last for several days without breaking down means that the wood spurs are disposable consumables. They will be worn away not long after they are cut out.

It seems that you still need to use nails, just like hiking boots, with nails embedded in the bottom to firmly grip the ground.

The strength and wear resistance of metal nails are unmatched by any wood.

Wooden spurs are easy to break and wear out. You can't just saw the wooden pole into a section and re-cut the woody spurs once the wooden spurs are worn out. Wouldn't that mean that the longer the wooden pole is cut, the shorter it becomes?

If it doesn't work, just like shoe covers, just make some replaceable small spiked bases, so that if one base is worn out, just replace it.

According to Li Mengxi's opinion, it is not too troublesome to make a base for the wooden pole. A carpenter can make a bowl, and it should be possible to carve out a disc out of wood.

However, while it is possible, it is not necessary.

If you have time to make bases, why not ask the carpenters to make more wooden bowls, so that all the people can use bowls that look like bowls as soon as possible.

What does a bowl-like bowl mean? It doesn't matter if it's a pottery bowl, a wooden bowl, or even a stone bowl, as long as it's complete.

Corners were missing, or even more than half of the bowl was missing, and the bamboo tube was cracked. It didn't look like a bowl. It could hold a spoonful of rice and half a spoonful could be spilled out.

Although the durability of wood spikes is a problem, the problem can only be left there and there is no way to solve it. The military currently does not have the time, manpower and material resources to solve these small problems.

Unless in the future, when we have a site and sufficient manpower and material resources, we can use cast iron to make torch stands... No, the towering cast iron torch stands will be struck by lightning when it rains.

Anyway, when we have enough manpower and material resources in the future, just remember to make the base of the flagpole flat and pointed.

There are no other problems. The small wooden frame has been improved several times, and there are more than a dozen areas for improvement.

The wooden shelf is made of broken wood. After it has been improved a dozen times, the broken wood is still broken wood. But the carpenters have done so much work on the broken wood, which is equivalent to making the broken wood into something as valuable as Zhuge Liannu.

.

"Let's go to Luli to find Liu Xuande." Li Mengxi raised his head and glanced at the torch stand, then yawned and said.

So Lu Li, another carpenter, and two adults lifted up the wooden frame one after another and went to find Liu Bei.

As a child, Li Mengxi walked in front like an adult.

Li Mengxi walked in front with a cheerful pace. He held a torch in his hand to illuminate the road. In fact, Li Mengxi could do without a torch. The light from the torch on the high wooden torch stand behind him illuminated the road brightly.

It was difficult to find Liu Xuande's Chinese army tent at night, because each time he set up camp, the location of Liu Bei's tent was different. It was dark at night, and there were no obvious fire markers. Li Mengxi

He looked around carefully with his eyes open, and then saw the place where the campfires were concentrated. That should be the camp of Liu Bei's soldiers, and Liu Bei's tent should be there or nearby. Liu Xuande, who had finished his military training,

He should also be staying in the Chinese military tent.

Li Mengxi walked towards the camp. From a distance, the soldiers who were watching beside the campfire noticed the conspicuous torch stand, and someone came to greet him.

"Where is Xuande Gong's tent?" Li Mengxi asked.

The commander raised his head and glanced at the tall shelf, then led the way for Li Mengxi.

When they arrived at Liu Bei's tent, Li Mengxi stood waiting outside the tent and went in to call for help.

After a while, Liu Bei came out of the tent and walked quickly towards Li Mengxi and the others, "Ah! I thought it would be done tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be done tonight, but it was so fast!"

Liu Bei acted so surprised, but when he saw the torch stand, Liu Bei only raised his head and glanced at it, and stopped looking at it. Obviously Liu Bei had no expectations for the torch stand.

Now it is certain that half an hour ago, Lu Li told Li Mengxi that the things were ready. At that time, Li Mengxi deliberately acted impatiently. It is obvious where he learned this subconscious habit.

Li Mengxi was influenced by Liu Bei subtly, and he learned his hypocrisy from Liu Bei.

"Mr. Xuande, this is the fire flag made by our craftsman camp.

"Look, this stand is two and a half feet high. Four torches can be inserted on it to illuminate the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

The wooden board on the top of the frame is half an inch thick and more than a foot and a half long and wide. It is used for rainproofing and other purposes.

The wooden pole under the frame is made of hardwood and is thick enough to be held in one hand.

One person can hold this frame steady, and two people can lift it up and fly away together. If it falls down, one person can hold it by the tail, and another person can hold it in the middle, and two people can help it up.

In this way, it can stand stably, lift it to walk, and fall down quickly, so it is enough to be used as a flag."

Li Mengxi was like selling arms, making an ordinary stand made of broken wood appear to be something extraordinary.

Not to mention, Li Mengxi gave such a professional explanation, and his ordinary airs became a little taller when he looked at it again.

After saying that, "Lu Li." Li Mengxi waved to Lu Li, "Let Mr. Xuande see if our airs work well."

Lu Li showed rare cleverness and understanding at this time. Then, just like the previous test in the carpenter camp, Lu Li first put the wooden frame on the ground, then held the frame with both hands and shook it gently from side to side, and finally shook it hard.

The flame of the torch on the wooden stand was shaken wildly, but the torch did not move at all. The torch was still good.

At this time, Lu Li, for such a big man, looked as funny as a naughty child hanging around a jujube tree.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The first step is to stand still, Lu Li has already finished the demonstration.

The shelf stopped on the ground and shook wildly. The torch was firmly fixed and could not be moved, let alone dropped.

Then, Lu Li seriously greeted another carpenter. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, raised the wooden frame together and began to run around a small open space in front of Liu Bei's central army tent.

The people of Luli are so stupid...
