They opened the cabinet, which was an ordinary-looking standing cabinet, but the design inside was quite ingenious. The large layout was modified into smaller sections, and the size could be changed... Wasn't this just a custom wardrobe with removable and movable shelves?
Four votes.
The next craftsmen to perform all made things they were good at, so while they weren't spectacular, they were still quite commendable.
But none of these are what Yuwen Sheng wants.
He lifted his eyelids with utter boredom, half-lazily watching one craftsman after another go up and down the stage, fiddling with things that were already commonplace, only slightly modified and innovated.
Nothing new.
There wasn't even a single thing that caught one's eye.
Until it was Fu Changfeng's turn to be called.
He spent the whole day yesterday repairing the crane arm that had broken. Although it still has problems, at least it can be used for display now.
He called over a dozen laborers, and together they pushed the crane onto the platform.
Beforehand, Fu Changfeng bowed to Yuwen Sheng and said, "General, this device is not perfect, but I am very confident in myself. If you give me a little more time, it will be ready for use."
Upon seeing the crane, which could be considered a heavy-duty timber rig, Yuwen Sheng became slightly fascinated.
"Tell me, what is this thing called, and what is it used for?"
"It's called a crane, and it doesn't have wheels because wheels would make its chassis thinner, greatly reducing its load-bearing capacity. I plan to fix it in one place. Moving it is indeed a bit troublesome, but I made a corresponding push-mounted chassis. It does have wheels and can carry heavy loads..."
His detailed explanation was well-reasoned and logical, showing that he put his heart into the design and racked his brains to perfect it.
Many people below were amazed and praised it repeatedly.
Zheng Quchi listened with great interest, finding his thinking quite broad, which seemed rather inconsistent with his hot-tempered and petty nature.
Therefore, talented people are not necessarily morally upright. The former is an innate talent, while the latter is self-cultivation. They are not equal and should not be confused.
However, through his own efforts, he did take a big step forward in the construction of large-scale buildings in Ye State, if his cranes were to be promoted nationwide as he wished.
This is something that Zheng Quchi greatly admires.
But... someone muttered from below: "Hey, don't you think Fu Changfeng's crane arm looks kind of familiar...?"
"Now that you mention it... I think I remember now, isn't this Sang Xuanqing's..."
"Right, right, the excavator, I remember now, isn't he just copying someone else's thing?"
"Yeah, I knew it. That's all Fu Changfeng is capable of."
Fu Changfeng was petty to begin with, and he couldn't stand hearing others say such things. He was so angry that he immediately retorted loudly, disregarding the occasion.
“That’s right, I got the inspiration from Sang Xuanqing’s earthmoving tool, but is it only Sang Xuanqing who can make this kind of lifting equipment? I can do it just as well as hers, and I also added my own insights and ideas, so why can’t I do it?”
He was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Zheng Quchi looked at him like this, opened his mouth as if to say something, but heard the person on the high platform who controlled everyone's fate speak.
"If you have the ability, you can learn from Fu Changfeng and take things from other countries and make them your own. But can you do that?"
Seeing that Yuwen Sheng actually spoke up for him, Fu Changfeng's eyes immediately reddened, and he looked as aggrieved as a child weighing over 100 pounds. The others turned pale and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to speak again.
“You didn’t listen to a word he said just now. He can make something better than the original, instead of making it exactly the same. Does that count as copying?”
Yuwen Sheng asked the people below the stage with a smile.
Now no one dared to utter a sound; they were all silent as if trembling with fear.
When Zheng Quchi saw that Yuwen Sheng's words were so utterly scathing that "all birds have vanished from the mountains, and all human tracks have disappeared from the paths," who would dare to speak again? No one did, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.
However, she glanced at Yuwen Sheng unexpectedly, and realized that this was what he was thinking...
Suddenly, she remembered seeing so many old and damaged weapons made in other countries piled up in the warehouse. Her lips twitched. They were probably collected by Yuwen Sheng during his wars.
She had seen it all along; he was a plagiarist, taking anything and everything.
Wang Zebang continued, "Then let's vote."
After one round, he counted the votes and finally announced: "Fu Changfeng, thirty-one votes."
When Fu Changfeng heard the number of votes, he was stunned. He hadn't expected so many people to vote for him. After all, he had failed this time and could only be considered a defective product on display.
However, he suddenly felt that his efforts were worthwhile, at least so many people had seen his results, and the general... the general also recognized him!
He didn't copy it exactly; he just learned from the successful experiences of others. It just so happens that he is quite skilled in this area. Next time, he will definitely present the crane perfectly. He will definitely not let the general down!
The craftsmen who came up on stage one after another mostly received a few votes, with some receiving as many as ten. However, those like Fu Changfeng, who received high marks and were recognized by General Yuwen, were extremely rare.
He smiled with pride and joy at the thought.
The craftsmen group had already taken the stage for more than half of the time when Wang Zebang called out the number: "Number thirty-four."
"arrive."
Mu Gaoyi waited for a long time, and when it was finally his turn, he quickly reached out and responded repeatedly.
