Impossible! How could a question of the "absolute difficulty" type be this hard?
There must be something relatively simple.
Yu Manqi refused to believe it and ran to another stone wall to continue looking at the questions.
Discussion: The balanced rudder with a large rudder blade area makes the ship less flexible in turning. In addition to the balanced rudder, let's assume that the lifting rudder is used. It is known to be used in sand ships. When passing through shallow waters, the rudder is raised and when entering deep water, the rudder is lowered underwater. It is also equipped with multiple masts and sails. Please illustrate this with a clear diagram.

Yu Manqi's eyes widened in disbelief, as if they were copper bells.
Why are these questions getting harder and harder? They've even provided shipbuilding blueprints!
He stared blankly for a while, then finally gave up on the idea.
This type of question is very difficult.
Compared to the previous three categories, as long as one has a deep understanding of carpentry, one can answer many questions.
These "absolute" type of questions require respondents to be all-rounders and comprehensive in their abilities.
He was unwilling to give up, and after thinking for a moment, he turned suspiciously towards Zheng Quchi.
Was she really answering the questions, or was she just filling in the blanks on the paper to kill time?
But the other party was a craftsman capable of building dragon-shaped chariots, so he felt that both options were unreliable...
He simply couldn't believe that she could answer all the difficult questions!
He was hesitant, even though his eyes were burning with anxiety, he still looked at a few more questions.
Finally, he found a small portion of the questions that he could somewhat understand.
When his mentor was teaching him, he had explained the advantages and disadvantages of typical civil engineering projects, but he only had a partial understanding of the theoretical aspects.
He had no confidence at all in answering the questions completely and accurately.
The more he looked at the numerous inscriptions of "absolute" characters carved on the stone wall, the more he felt that what lay before him was a vast, unfathomable ocean.
He himself was like a frog at the bottom of a well, only having a superficial understanding of everything and seeing only his own limited world.
"Stop, Yu Manqi. You are only here today to defeat craftsmen of the same generation and level. The cross-border challenges set by the top craftsmen of the seven kingdoms are a vast and lofty realm that you cannot reach with your current skills, techniques, or abilities!"
He gave himself a stern talking-to, and his will, which had been battered by the "absolute" type of questions, was finally strengthened again.
If he can't do it, he doesn't believe any of the nine finalists can do it better!
If "Zheng Qing" only answers questions of the "absolute" type, then her final outcome can only be self-destruction.
Seeing that the effeminate Yu Hai and the burly, rough man Mo Ming were both concentrating intently and doing their best to answer the questions, he didn't pay any more attention to Zheng Quchi's side.
However, even if it's determined that this Ye Kingdom craftsman is not a threat, his current score and speed in answering questions are basically on par with Yu Hai and Mo Ming, so he still has to do something...
Although the questions on "craftsmanship," "skill," and "technique" were relatively simpler than those on "uniqueness," all eight people competed for them. Each person answered the questions they were good at, and the remaining questions they were not confident about had to be left unanswered.
Some people might choose to be compatible with the bottom, but this will only result in fewer points for each answer and will not create a significant difference in scores.
"Craftsmanship, Skill, and Technique"—the "Craftsmanship" category is the last choice. For the "Skill" and "Technique" categories, he has already selected the ones he knows. He answered more than a dozen questions in the "Skill" category and more than a dozen questions in the "Technique" category, but he is still unsure whether they are right or wrong.
I believe others probably feel the same way.
He glanced at the "absolute" type of questions; those... were probably the key to ultimately widening the score gap.
The "absolute" type of question is worth four points, while the "work" type of question is worth four points. They may take the same amount of time, but after exhausting the same amount of questions, they become the first choice.
Above, Abbot Miku reminded, "There is only about an hour left. All shortlisted craftsmen, please pay attention to the passage of time and arrange your answering time accordingly. When the incense stops, close your books and do not write again."
Yu Manqi looked at the incense burner. There was only a little time left. He had answered the other three types of questions he knew how to answer. In the end, he would try his best on the "most difficult" type of question.
He began to climb upwards, pondering the most difficult problems of all kinds.
The others thought the same way, and they all rushed to the "extreme" question type to look at and analyze the questions. But when they saw them, their faces turned green.
It was the exact same breakdown that Yu Manqi experienced at the beginning.
That's an incredibly difficult question!
For a moment, all the test takers on the desks were scratching their heads, their heads almost buried in their answer sheets.
"We don't have a carpenter's square, how can we measure it? Ugh... Never mind, I'll just guess."
"What are they asking? The Tenghjar Tower has stood for a thousand years, weathering numerous earthquakes, wind, rain, and snowstorms. Yet, the tower remains intact, standing tall and undamaged, neither crumbling nor tilting. Why? How would I know? What kind of craftsmanship is involved? Damn, who knows?"
"Good heavens, what kind of divine question is this? What does it have to do with us? The terrain of Guisupo City Wall in Ye Kingdom is steep and difficult to build. The city wall, gate towers, battlements, passes, beacon towers... are all built, forming the shape of a giant dragon lying on the mountain. What kind of technology was used? What kind of technology? What difficulty? What the hell? I've never even been to that barren land of Ye Kingdom. How can such a place be used as a typical teaching case for answering questions?"
Hearing him collapse and groan in pain, a craftsman nearby chimed in, "This question is definitely beyond the scope of the curriculum. Isn't this the work of a stonemason? We're just master craftsmen, and we have to answer such difficult questions? And have you seen the date carved on that stone wall? It's recent, from last year. They might not even have the correct answer yet, and it's already being used as an exam question."
