Chapter 119 Breaking the Limit
The mortise and tenon structure can be made very simple or extremely complex and exquisite. This requires amazing spatial imagination, which all depends on the designer's performance.
Although Zhou Xu himself did not know about the mortise and tenon structure and had never studied it, as a person who is relatively proficient in manual work, similar designs would actually appear in the process of manual work.
This also made him feel that after he opened his mind, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world. His ideas immediately flowed like a spring, making him extremely excited.
In the design of this part, Zhou Xu did not give Zhuang Mengdie and Wang Dashi any room to play.
Relying on his modern knowledge and bursting inspiration, he drew out all the mortise and tenon structures used to connect and assemble the entire frame of a house.
But he did not stop after that. Instead, he immediately took out new animal skin paper and continued to use the stick pen to fill the paint juice and draw the mortise and tenon designs that emerged in his mind.
This feeling was so wonderful that Zhou Xu didn't dare to stop, for fear that if he stopped, he would never be able to find this state again.
Looking at the leader who was busy painting there, Wang Dashi, who was called over, didn't know what to do for a moment. Even when he was about to ask a question, he was stopped by a hand that suddenly stretched out.
He subconsciously turned his head to look beside him, only to see Zhuang Mengdie shaking her head at him with a serious expression.
There is no need to explain Zhuang Mengdie's status in the tribe. Seeing her trying to stop him, Wang Dashi held his words back and waited obediently.
At this moment, the reason why Zhuang Mengdie reached out to stop him was because a similar situation had happened to her before.
This afternoon, when she was studying what their leader gave her, she was in a similar state. At that time, her thoughts were very rich and all kinds of ideas were opened up, making her clearly realize that she seemed to have entered a very wonderful state.
However, within two seconds, one of her apprentices came to her to confirm the work, causing her to directly leave that state and never appear again.
Zhuang Mengdie's temper can definitely be considered good. She is the typical type of person who does things quietly.
But the situation at that time made her extremely angry. Vaguely realizing that she had lost something, she couldn't help but scolded the apprentice severely on the spot.
The apprentice had never seen his master so irritable before, and he was stunned on the spot.
And it was because of this experience that Zhuang Mengdie realized how precious their leader’s current condition was.
However, this state did not last too long, and the whole process was estimated to be only about ten minutes.
After drawing the last stroke, Zhou Xu let out a long breath, and then collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, gasping for breath violently.
That state, while making him excited and full of ideas, also squandered a lot of his limited energy, making him feel dazed.
But this state is different from the burden caused by excessive consumption of mantra power. After a while, it quickly recovered.
I sat up and looked at the drawings he had drawn in front of me. The mortise and tenon structure of the entire house frame was drawn quite clearly and easily understandable.
But as the painting progressed, the strokes became gradually more sloppy.
Looking at these sloppy drawings, it is estimated that others have no idea what he drew.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu himself was able to understand it, and he would then take the time to slightly refine it so that others could understand it as well.
All of these drawings show the combination of mortise and tenon joints. The more sloppy they are, the more exquisite and complex they are.
With these, as long as Wang Dashi and his colleagues can master them and apply them flexibly, it will be enough to lay a solid foundation for their construction engineering department.
At the same time, in that state just now, he seemed to vaguely hear the system prompt...
At this moment, Zhou Xu seemed to realize something, and with nervousness in his heart, he quickly opened his attribute panel.
Then he glanced down and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Because at this moment, his intelligence, which was originally only two stars, was displayed as three stars! Zhou Xu had never expected that his star level upgrade would come so suddenly.
He couldn't help laughing several times, but when he thought about the subordinates who were all around him and considered his image as a leader, he finally held back his expression.
In the next few days, the construction team continued with the digging work, and the mortise and tenon structure on the trunk of the big tree that constituted the frame of the house had to be built.
After all, they couldn't possibly wait until the house was built and the pillars were erected before climbing up to polish the frame.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, he wanted to polish everything on the outside first and make sure they all fit perfectly, and then start building the house frame on the foundation.
Polishing the mortise and tenon joints and making them fit perfectly undoubtedly requires some delicate work.
At this time, Zhuang Mengdie must be superior to Wang Dashi and others in the construction team in terms of polishing experience and technology.
However, Zhou Xu did not intend to let Zhuang Mengdie help the construction team.
On the one hand, Zhuang Mengdie is busy developing the bamboo bow at this moment, and he also has other tasks to complete, so he doesn't have time to do this.
On the other hand, this is ultimately the work scope of the Construction Engineering Department. They cannot always rely on the equipment department. They still have to master the technology themselves.
Master it early and you will feel relaxed later.
To research all kinds of exquisite and complex mortise and tenon joints requires talent, but polishing does not require it.
Polishing the designed mortise and tenon joints requires time and meticulousness.
After borrowing a batch of tools from the equipment department, Wang Dashi and his team, who took on the task, began to polish it seriously.
During this period, Zhou Xu certainly couldn't stay here all the time. As the leader, he hadn't been back for a long time and he still had a lot of things to do.
Look, he turned around and came to the farming area outside the camp.
When I left, there were only some herbs and berry bushes planted in this cultivated area, but now at a glance, it seems that the entire farmland has become quite large.
These crops were undoubtedly transported from the Desolate Mountain Camp, and have now all been planted in the fields of the Black Moon Camp.
Zhou Xu, who was walking nearby, saw Zhao Geng busy in the fields at a glance, and walked straight towards him.
During this process, Zhao Geng undoubtedly noticed Zhou Xu's existence.
