When he was free at night, Li Mengxi decided to test the contact method while he was free. If he waited until the day, he might not have time if he was busy.

Before he started, Li Mengxi felt that it was not difficult to put a person in his words. He actually realized that this matter was more difficult than imagined. The first difficulty was that he could not see the overall effect when standing on the ground and could not control it as a whole.

As a last resort, Li Mengxi asked someone to build a high platform, and he climbed onto the stage to take the high-level dispatch.

The height problem has been solved, and the overall effect can be seen from condescending, and the scheduling problem is troublesome again.

Li Mengxi was busy giving orders on a high place, and the soldiers below were confused by his command. The scene was still in chaos. After placing the font for a long time, they were still crooked.

"Okay, let's take a break." Li Mengxi had no choice but to let the soldiers stop and rest first.

If you make a mistake in judgment, it is more difficult to pull a group of people into complex fonts than to pull a queue.

Li Mengxi then remembered the combat formations, the square formations and circular formations of combat formations and other formations, and how the clusters of formations changed from each other.

The key points of formation change are: when changing the array, the square array can be an intermediate array. Whether it is a cone array to a circular array, a circular array to a cone array, or a mutual change between any two formations, such as a circular array to a cone array, a circular array to a square array first and then a cone array, and a cone becomes a circular array. The reason why the square array is set as a middle array is that the mutual changes between the arrays are complex and complicated, but it is easy for all arrays to change square arrays, and it is easy for square arrays to change them again. Therefore, if the square array is too much in the middle, the difficulty of changing the array is greatly reduced.

There are also methods for changing the formation. When the array is staggered and transformed into a cone array, the middle sequence remains unmoved, and the two wings are gradually formed, and the cone array becomes directly formed. The staggered method is fast and neat.

There are also methods of changing arrays, such as intercepting arrays, dispersing arrays, and dividing arrays...

After thinking for a long time, Li Mengxi had a certain idea. He stood up and called on the soldiers to start the array drill again.

This time, Li Mengxi no longer pulled it alone to fiddle with it. He directly arranged it from the whole and used the method of [using square array as the middle array]. Li Mengxi directly summoned hundreds of soldiers to form a tight formation to form a square array. He wanted to make a font and directly deduct it.

Start with the simplest one, subtract a few rows of people in the middle of the square matrix, and three parallel lines come out. Then, the first line is cut off some left and right, and the second line is cut off some, and a [Three] with harmonious calligraphy edges and angular structure comes out.

After a preliminary attempt, Li Mengxi found that this method of picking characters from the square array is very useful.

Going down, Li Mengxi continued to try more complex fonts. For complex fonts, the square matrix of ten by ten is not enough.

Continue to add more people, and become a square array of twenty by twenty, and then it becomes thirty-thirty.

Using arrays to placing characters is a completely new thing, and Li Mengxi gradually became addicted to playing.

In the thirty-thirty-one large array, Li Mengxi subtracts the left and the right several, adds the more, adds the more, adds and then subtracts the more, and then restores the more, and then continues to change the column and subtracts the people. In this way, adds and subtracts little by little, and tries little by little, and in the huge dense array, a huge character [Li] is composed of.

Looking at the entire font, the character [Li] has a bit of a bold style, with straight strokes and rough edges. Although in the eyes of Liu Bei and others, this is an amazing scene. Li Mengxi was nitpicking and thought that the bold style was too ugly. It would be great if he could put a Song-style character with a curved stroke, and it would be even better if he could put a running script font with a flowing stroke and a dragon and a snake.

Once my mind is opened, I can't stop it.

Li Mengxi began to move towards higher difficulties. He felt that the font had no pen tip, so he had to restore the pen tip.

The number of people on the field is added to a large square formation of fifty by fifty, fifty by fifty, which means two thousand five hundred people.

Fortunately, when setting up the camp, there was a training ground for rectification and training, otherwise so much manpower would not be able to be placed in the camp.

The darkness of 2,500 people stood on the ground, filling the entire venue.

To facilitate lighting and scheduling, high torch racks were set up at the beginning and end of each row and column, dense and neat arrays, black and uniform figures, and bright firelights. Taking advantage of the dark night, this scene in the training ground seemed very imposing.

The formation was pulled again, and the queue of fifty to fifty, two thousand and five hundred people was neatly straight and straight, making it an extremely standard square matrix that could not be square.

Before ordering the transfer again, Li Mengxi hesitated.

Because during the previous many attempts, the larger the formation, the more complicated the operation and the more troublesome it is. Now it is as large as fifty by fifty, and I don’t know how long it takes to mobilize it.

Before he started trying it, Li Mengxi had already had a premonition of the difficulty and trouble. Li Mengxi felt that it should be handled with a more efficient method.

At this time, Li Mengxi thought of the field grid paper he used when he was a child. In the small field grid, every stroke and stroke had reference coordinates, and the entire structure of the font was systematic.

I found a piece of paper temporarily and prepared to find a ruler to draw a square net of fifty by fifty. I didn’t find the ruler and there was no such precise tool in the army.

The problem of placing words has not been solved, and new problems have been discovered again. I thought that when marching and fighting, precision drawing tools are indispensable for drawing battle maps. Although the Julu Army does not have the ability to make precise drawings now, it will eventually reach this level in the future. Therefore, [the army should be equipped with various precision tools].

Without a special drawing ruler, Li Mengxi could only bring a carpenter ruler from the craftsman camp. He compared the ruler and drew fifty horizontal lines, fifty vertical lines, a total of two thousand and five hundred grids.

The key is here, and the simulation process is below.

Li Mengxi knew that his brush was not well written, and Liu Bei's calligraphy was also unavailable, so he found an officer with good characters from the army and ordered the officer to write a large character [Li] on the grid paper according to the grid capital and capital.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s simple to go down. Li Mengxi doesn’t care about the queue in the field. He only checks the grid on the grid, checks the first line, and records all the grids in the first line that are not covered with ink marks, and then writes them down in turn.

The second line, as in this case, the third line, is the same.

It took a long time to check all the grids.

Returning to the training ground, in the training ground, a queue of 2,500 people was still standing quietly, as calm as a mountain.

After scanning the queue, Li Mengxi looked at the data recorded in his hand and shouted, "First row, counting from left to right, twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-threeth."

“Thirty-five, thirty-two.

"All of the above, leave the list!"

The order was issued, and all those who were pronounced had left the queue and walked outside the field one after another.

"The second column, counting from left to right, ninth, twelve, fifteenth... and twelve people left."

"The third column..."

“The fourth column…”

...

“The fiftieth column…”

After reading all fifty rows, many people went downstairs. Looking down from the platform, the square formation was cut into a thin, elegant and beautiful character [Li] in the blink of an eye. This time the results exceeded all the previous ones.

On the high platform, beside Li Mengxi, Liu Bei was jealous of him, "Come here!" He called, "Prepare torches, one by one."

It is easy to find a torch, but it is difficult to distribute two thousand five hundred torches at the same time. The logistics power of the Julu Army was once again demonstrated.

In the Julu Army's logistics system, all the pine wood collected will be distinguished from ordinary wood as a reserve of torch materials. Thanks to this practice, the Julu Army's materials are always equipped with certain pine materials. Now when it is time to use, the baggage team quickly freed up a large amount of pine wood and quickly cut the wood into small branches. Two thousand five hundred pine torches are ready to be completed soon.

When the bright pine torches were gradually sent to the soldiers, a little bit of fire made the huge "Li" character in the field appear brighter and brighter until all the two thousand five hundred torches were sent out, and there was no hidden secret in the entire font. All the shapes and outlines of the font were completely displayed in everyone's eyes.

The huge text pattern that everyone saw in their eyes was so bloated and delicate that even the tip of the pen could see even the tiny burrs. It was like a giant handwritten by a giant holding a huge pen.

There was already a lot of admiration around.

Li Mengxi smiled and felt at ease at Rucha's praise.

After glanced down at the giant font in the field, Li Mengxi discovered an interesting detail. The soldiers who formed the font in the field were holding torches. This is secondly. The key is that all the soldiers holding torches are right hands, and the torches are held straight and raised at the same height. The overall fire looks extremely neat.

Li Mengxi remembered that he did not ask how to hold the torch just now, and the soldiers subconsciously aligned automatically... No, it was not the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers. Li Mengxi remembered that during daily training, he had trained to hold the torch. Although he didn't train many times, he did.

The details reflect the level. Now it seems that the soldiers of the Julu Army can finally be called a "collective".

——

The test of array fonts was successful, and the physical characters were effective. Li Mengxi re-sumed the queue again, and turned the data backwards to the data. The next time he pulled the queue up and left it in the queue, and the last time he didn't take it down, all of them were removed. After a while of busyness, something magical happened, and the field became a bright big square, and the dark part missing in the square happened to be in the shape of a huge "Li".

Just like printing, there are gravure printing, embossed printing, and the fonts are also different from real characters and white characters.

The operation method of array fonts is mature, so there is no need to worry about pulling people one by one, and there is no need to try to stare at them. Use simulation method to draw a fine grid, write words on the grid, and then face the grid, keep people with ink, and leave people with blank grids. In this way, you no longer have to care about subtle strokes, or care about cumbersome personnel positions. You can stand in a tight queue and then follow the data to keep people as they should. The final text must be a very standard and beautiful font with neat strokes and clear strokes.

Finally, the final practicality test was conducted on the array font. Standing on the flat ground, looking at it a hundred steps, it was impossible to see the overall outline of the font. It was as far as three hundred steps and five hundred steps, and it was far away. In addition, the terrain may have ups and downs, so you can see the font at this time.

Later, a high platform was built, and the soldiers stood on the platform more than one person high to put out the fonts, and then stood three or five hundred steps away to see. At this time, because the perspective was too low, the entire font could no longer be seen.

The last step is to simulate the perspective of the defenders at the city gate in the future. A tall pole several meters long, and a person hangs the pole head three or five hundred steps away. Then look at the pole head again. This time, when the font that cannot be seen clearly on the flat ground becomes higher, the text outline is fully visible.

The test was successful, and the height of the city and the flat ground did make the same target city visible but not visible under the city, the defenders visible but not the thief army under the city.

Li Mengxi thought a lot about the array text. He remembered the jacquard technology he got in Luoyang a few months ago. When the jacquard weaved the pattern, he made each thread and determined the most basic thread, which also determined the overall composition of the pattern. This time, the same is true for using array characters. The most basic individual and dots constitute the entire pattern pattern.

Li Mengxi also thought of the term "pixel". No matter how complex the picture is, it is actually composed of basic color dots. In other words, no matter how complex the picture is, it can be spelled out with pixels.

In later generations, Li Mengxi often saw people using tens of thousands of Rubik's Cubes to make portraits, some used fruits to make portraits, and some even used enough bicycles to make extremely realistic portraits.

Using an array can not only spell out simple texts, but more complex pictures are also possible. In Li's "Beast Art of War", there is a tactic of using tigers to scare enemy war horses. If soldiers are used to form a three-dimensional tiger picture, then a huge picture can be seen on the entire battlefield. Will the enemy's war horses be scared when they see it?

Worth a try.

——

After the problem was solved, Li Mengxi lost interest in placing characters. In addition, it was already late at night, so he yawned back to sleep.

After Li Mengxi left, Liu Bei and others, who were still enthusiastic, continued to fiddle with the word formation.

Liu Bei learned Li Mengxi's method and first carefully drew a dense grid of fifty or fifty on the paper, picked up a pen and wrote a huge character [Chinese]. Then, according to the same method as Li Mengxi, Liu Bei counted the grids one by one, and then recorded in detail whether there was any ink ink in each row and column of grids.

In front of the 2,500-strong square formation, Liu Bei read out the personnel transfer orders one by one. In just a moment, the personnel were transferred, and he looked up. The field was filled with gorgeous fires. In the bright flames, a huge and powerful word "Chinese" was ignited with enthusiasm, and Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh.

——

There are uninvited guests tonight.

Two miles away from the Julu Military Camp, the thief general Zhang Ju came to spy on the information in person. Zhang Ju climbed to the treetops and looked at the reality of the Julu Military Camp. The huge and majestic word "Chinese" composed of thousands or tens of thousands of light spots was completely in Zhang Ju's eyes.

In the darkness, the thief Zhang Ju's expression became even more gloomy.
