Chapter 555 Life is More Than Just Existing and Living

"Mother likes this First Grade General's Mansion" Mu shi was taken aback and casually said, "What's there to like or dislike Since I'm already married, I can only live here for the rest of my life."...Nan Tian was particularly looking forward to Ye Wenyan's paintings because every time Ye Wenyan made a stroke, it could open a brand new door for him, and the scenery behind the door could also open up a whole new realm for him.

Last night, Ye Wen said that this time he painted something other than jewelry. So he thought, if it wasn't jewelry, then it should be a display piece or a rare object, similar to the "Clock" he made in Qiaogong Pavilion. He thought of something practical like that. 。The actual use of the clock was not only practical but also allowed the people of Qichaogong to smoothly transition from the twelve-hour timekeeping system to the twenty-four-hour system. 。Not only was it used in Qiaogong, but it also began to be promoted in the harem. At least now the emperor and Empress Dowager Yu are already proficient and gradually getting used to it. 。Next, they plan to promote this more precise and convenient timekeeping method among the former dynasty, so that more people can adopt it. 。All of these changes were brought by Ye Wenyan, so Ying Nantian is especially looking forward to Ye Wenyan's new designs now. 。Ye Wen had already sat down at her desk and begun to draw, but her drawing ability wasn't really that good. If she hadn't quietly used spiritual power to guide the outline in her mind onto the paper, what she drew wouldn't be just terrible to look at, it would be something no one could recognize. 。Of course, even if her paintings were vivid, no one knew what she was painting, after all, watches from later generations didn't exist in this era. 。Even though they had seen the watch before, at this moment, they still couldn't figure out what it was. 。Ye Chu Lian also became increasingly curious, and whispered to Zhuier, "Sister Si is also proficient in the art of craftsmanship"Zhuier said with a proud and complacent face, "My young lady knows everything! Fifth Miss, you are still unfamiliar with my young lady. If you were to follow my young lady every day, you would definitely find this kind of thing commonplace." 。After all, she can even cast spells, and her medical skills are self-taught. Her martial arts also suddenly became comparable to the second young master's. So, it would be normal for her to be proficient in some other clever techniques as well. I think so. 。" Night Chu Lian rubbed her nose, alright, she did need to get used to 。And indeed, there's nothing strange about it. The fourth sister's fiancé is the Emperor himself. She now knows that they first met on the second day of the twelfth lunar month and then fell in love. 。Then suddenly there appeared divine medical skills, and suddenly also extremely high martial arts. These things could be easily explained. 。The teachings of the Imperial Sovereign, isn't that what else could it be The Imperial Sovereign is a god, and a god teaching his disciples would definitely be instant enlightenment, wouldn't it

A group of people surrounded Ye Wenyan, watching as she drew one after another, each one weirder than the last. 。After finally finishing the drawing, I started writing on the paper next to the drawings. 。This time they understood, the words were: Watch, music box, bicycle pendant, fountain pen 。You can only see the characters, one by one. But when these characters are put together, you don't understand them anymore. 。For example, everyone knows what the word "hand" means. But what about "face" "Eight" is clear. What about "sound box"Ying Nantong racked his brains, trying his best to point at the watch face and say: "This looks similar to a clock, but its shape is different. I don't understand what the two straps on either side mean." 。"

Ye Wen nodded in agreement, "Indeed, they are similar in concept, even more than just similar. They are actually the same thing." 。She told Ying Nantong, "This kind of thing is called a watch. The word 'watch' is similar to 'clock,' both are tools for measuring time." 。Watches, as their name suggests, are clocks worn on the wrist. 。It is smaller than a clock, but the mechanical principle is the same, just not as complex in craftsmanship as a clock. 。But don't underestimate it because of this, because the craftsmanship I'm talking about refers to those stylistic crafts made to enhance beauty. To put it plainly, they are useless efforts done just for looks. 。The true craftsmanship in mechanics, watches are far more intricate than clocks. 。And it's very small, so the mechanical parts make processing much more difficult. 。I don't know if you have the ability to complete this kind of production, but I will teach you in detail. Whether you can understand and finally complete it depends on your own fortune. 。“Although I do these things for my own purposes, it doesn’t mean that the benefits these will bring to the common people after being implemented won’t be real.”

The convenience of life is always what people yearn for, and it is also the foundation of human development and progress. 。Though I have no intention of accelerating the pace of historical development, I still hope to do my utmost to create a more convenient living environment for the people of Northern Qi and even for everyone throughout the world. 。As soon as the concept of a watch came about, Ying Nantong already predicted what kind of changes this would bring to life today. 。Shangguan Xiaoya also quickly became excited, even staring at the drawing and starting to imagine in her mind how this thing would be operated in practice. 。He also asked Ye Wen: "Will Miss Si still be providing these gears Actually, we could try making them ourselves. Whether or not we meet the requirements, this kind of craftsmanship always needs to have a starting point." 。"Okay! Then you guys can handle it. I hope you all have a start, even if it's slow, as long as you keep going, one day you'll succeed." 。She finished speaking and picked up another drawing. This one showed a hand-cranked eight-note music box. 。It's a very retro style. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary wooden box, but when you open it, there's more to it than meets the eye. Besides the crank handle, it also features a record-shaped design and many tiny protruding speaker cones. 。She then replied to Nantian, "Watches can change one's habits, this music box is for adding joy to life." 。If life is only for survival and existence, then that person has lived this life in vain. 。We must understand one thing, that people live not just to eat three meals a day, but to experience the beauty of this world. 。Beauty can be felt with the eyes, or with the heart. 。Beauty includes beautiful people and beautiful things. 。This little thing may currently only satisfy those daughters from families with some spare money, but once you become familiar with its production process and can make it faster and faster, then its cost will also come down. This way, more people can afford it. 。A little toy, shake the handle and it makes a pleasant tune, making girls happy. 。Perhaps you still think it doesn't have much practical significance, but I tell you, you must learn to make this, because it is a foundation. After learning it, you can apply what you learned to create other things with ease. Many principles are universal, and learning them will be easier. 。So it's important, don't underestimate it. 。"After putting down the music box blueprints, I picked up a bicycle pendant. " 。"A pendant is an ornament hung on a necklace, and it's not much different from the items we sell in our shop now. They are all types of jewelry." 。But this design, I have to tell you, it's called a bicycle, which is a mode of transportation. 。Now we go out, either walking, riding in a palanquin, riding a horse, or taking a carriage. 。A bicycle is also a kind of vehicle, with two wheels parallel to each other, connected in the middle by an iron frame. It has a chain, pedals, and a place for people to sit. 。Self-cycling, as the name suggests, means cycling by yourself. 。This kind of vehicle, when someone sits on it, just needs to master the balance. They can completely use their feet to pedal and achieve forward movement and turning. The speed is not slow either. Most importantly, it's light, saves time and effort, and doesn't even need a driver. 。"

People were very excited, but some asked: "Since there is such a good thing, why don't we just make it directly, instead of turning it into a pendant for a necklace"

Ye Wen told him: "Because we don't have rubber! Rubber is something that is put on the outside of wheels. After being processed and manufactured, it can be inflated inside to make it swell, thus reducing the vibration effect" 。Just like the carriage we are sitting in now, why do people put thick cushions on the seats, and even wealthy households lay blankets inside It's because the wheels are made of wood and they cause a bumpy ride. 。However, you can't put too much padding on a bicycle seat, and even if you do, it won't make much difference because people sit directly on it. 。Without rubber, the technology of bicycles is just talk. But I still want to convey this concept to you and make it into jewelry to pass on to more and more people. 。I believe that one day we will achieve it and bring more positive changes to people's lives. 。The last drawing is a fountain pen, with which things can be explained more carefully at night. 。From the craftsmanship of the pen body and nib, to the promotion of calligraphy with hard-tip pens, it even mentioned the writing and reading habit of characters from left to right horizontally. 。By the end, Ye Chu Lian was stunned. This was the knowledge of the eldest daughter Was this why her fourth elder sister received the most love from her grandfather and was favored by the Emperor These things she had never heard of, yet when her fourth elder sister spoke about them, it felt so familiar, as if these were things she used every day. Every detail was clear and precise. 。But how could that be possible Even with her limited experience, she knew that these things didn't exist in this world, including those strange writing and reading habits. Could they really be like that How could one person be so outstanding Could her elder sister truly be a fairyIn fact, it wasn't strange for Ye Chu Lian to have such thoughts because at this moment, everyone in the room shared the same idea. 。Everyone believed that Ye Wen was a fairy because only a fairy could possess such celestial abilities, and only a fairy would care for the world and want to change it, unlike emperors who only desired to rule. 。"Master " 。"Responding to Master Nan Tian's call, it was truly difficult. 'Disciple is uncertain if he can do all these well, but disciple will definitely do his best to complete them. As long as Master is willing to teach, disciple is willing to learn.'" 。...only that.”

>e than now, but look, did it affect me killing people I still killed all those masters. If you hadn't run fast, I guess I would have taken care of you too. 。“I finished, and I also felt that my words...
