Chapter 386: The Knowledge of the Flagpole Handle (4)(2/2)
Just because the torch stand is used overnight, it is possible to reduce the casualties of thousands of people. Is this an exaggeration? It is not an exaggeration at all.
Any advantage is a real advantage.
Li Mengxi walked back under the moonlight.
The night was quiet. Except for those who were still patrolling the camp, all the peasants had rested, and even the animals had rested.
Li Mengxi raised his head and glanced at the bright moon, "Hey, Lu Li, look at this moon, what day is it?"
"Fifteen." Before Lu Li could answer, another carpenter followed Lu Li and spoke to him.
It was a bit embarrassing. Apart from Lu Li's name, Li Mengxi could only name the other people in the carpenter camp.
"It's fifteen years old." Li Mengxi sighed with emotion.
This sentiment is still said deliberately out of hypocrisy.
Why?
Because Li Mengxi was very familiar with Lu Li, but not very familiar with the other carpenter, the two of them didn't even exchange a few words. Just because they were not familiar with each other, they took the initiative to chat with each other. If they didn't reply, it would be embarrassing.
How embarrassing.
When others talk to you, out of politeness, you have to reply with something, even if it's a polite word, even if it's a nutritious word, even if it's just a "hmm".
If ordinary people talk to each other and ignore each other, they are only asking for trouble.
Li Mengxi is no longer among the ordinary people. Whether he thinks it or not, Li Mengxi is considered a powerful person. When the carpenter asked him, if Li Mengxi didn't reply, he might think what others would think. Would he think that Ying Zheng looked down on him?
Still nothing.
Li Mengxi Today, his emotional intelligence has improved unconsciously.
Soon, when they returned to the supply camp, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered, "By the way, Lu Li, do you think a wooden pole with a pointed bottom or a flat wooden pole is better? This is an idea. Let's go and get food from me."
.”
"Ah?" Lu Li was stunned for a moment.
Is this actually a good idea?
When Lu Li thought about it, he just raised the problem. It was Ying Zheng who thought the problem through, and then cleverly combined the advantages of the sharp pole and the flat pole. If you want to reward Ying Zheng with grain, you should reward Ying Zheng with grain.
.
But what Li Mengxi thought was different from what Lu Li thought. Being able to come up with specific improvement methods is considered an achievement of wisdom. Being able to ask questions is considered thinking, and it is also an achievement of wisdom.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Lu Li just asked a question, and this question is not considered an achievement of wisdom, then because of this question raised by Lu Li, Li Mengxi followed Lu Li’s
I expanded my thinking and came up with a clever way to modify the wooden poles. So where did this modification method come from?
Li Mengxi asked Lu Li to go get the grain, but did not call another carpenter. The carpenter looked at Li Mengxi and stood there for a while, wondering what he was thinking. Maybe he saw Lu Li going to get the grain and felt envious.
"Hey, you come too." Li Mengxi called to another carpenter.
Another carpenter quickly followed.
Back to the carriage, his younger brother was sleeping soundly. Li Mengxi carefully found the grain bag from the carriage and said, "Ten jins of Lu Li, one jin for you, take it yourself."
Li Mengxi spoke in a very low voice, for fear of waking his brother.
Lu Li and the carpenter didn't move for a moment, "Take it!" Li Mengxi urged.
The two of them each grabbed a handful of grain from the grain bag, which must have been less than a pound. They were also afraid of touching the bag and waking up their younger brother.
Lu Li and the carpenter thanked Li Mengxi quietly and walked away quietly.
Li Mengxi hurriedly jotted down the technical details about the fire flag.
"The fire flag is made of a wooden pole two and a half feet high and placed on a torch stand for nighttime marking.
There are five key points in making a fire flag.
First, the fire flag must be high, at least two feet, otherwise it will not be noticeable to the entire camp.
Secondly, when the fire flag is placed on the torch stand, the defensive board should be two circles larger to serve as a bumper to prevent collision when the torch stand falls to the ground.
Third, if used in actual combat, the fire flag will inevitably fall down sometimes. When the battle situation is critical, if the fire flag is incorrect, it will affect the military situation. Therefore, the fire flag ring should be solid and tight.
Fourth, the fire flag should be heavy enough that two people can lift it. It is not appropriate to be a little light, and it is not appropriate to be a little heavy. Because there is a stand at the head of the fire flag, the fire flag must be top-heavy. If the fire flag is light, the pole must be short, and if the pole is short, it cannot be lifted.
The whole camp is eye-catching; the fire flag should not be too heavy. If the flag falls, one person cannot lift it and two people can lift it. It is only a little cumbersome to unite the strength of two people; if two people cannot lift it, three or four people can lift it.
Lifting it is very cumbersome if you want to unite the strength of everyone. If two people can carry it, it is the limit and it is just right. A flag for one person is too small and short, and it is not good for the whole army. A flag for many people is too heavy and it is difficult to unite them all.
Power.
Fifth, the handle of the fire flagpole should be both flat and pointed, so that it is flat enough to be suitable for flat ground, and pointed so that it can be nailed to the ice surface. The details are to hollow out the bottom of the flagpole and nail a short nail ear."
After finishing writing, Li Mengxi rolled up the linen cloth.
