With the urgent construction of the Mo Family Village, the three-story building next to the Wei River Bridge was increased by two floors in the shortest time. With the installation of a huge telescope, the new headquarters of the Wei River Bridge was officially established.
The figure that used to push the wheelchair and insist on repairing the bridge was gone. Instead, it was replaced by the long telescope on the fifth floor and Zu Mingjun, who was supervising the construction.
"High mountain and flowing water!"
"Boya Ziqi!"
"It's hard to find a bosom friend in life!"
With the orderly restoration of the Wei River Bridge, the story of Li Yun of the Xiangfu Family and Zu Mingjun of the Mathematics School as bosom friends was widely spread in the Tang dynasty.
One was a genius that the heavens were jealous of. Despite suffering from a strange illness, he still persisted in his dream of becoming a Xiangfu. The other was an elite of the school of mathematics, the founder of the parabola. His knowledge of mathematics could be said to have contributed greatly to the construction of the Wei River Bridge. After Li Yunyi's death, he resolutely took up the responsibility.
"Brother Li, in my opinion, the load bearing of this bridge should not need to be reinforced. It is enough to bear the load. You can trust me on this. With my mathematics, I will never be wrong." Zu Mingjun pointed to the blueprint in front of him and said confidently. He believed that no one could surpass him in mathematics.
However, Li Yun in the wheelchair shook his head slightly and said, "I naturally trust Brother Zu's mathematics. However, Brother Zu only calculated the load bearing, water flow, the sinking of the bridge, and other factors, but forgot that there is another factor that has a great impact on the bridge, and that is the wind!"
"Wind!" Zu Mingjun frowned and said, "A little wind can also affect such a bridge."
"A little wind!" Li Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Zu has never been to the seaside. Every summer and autumn, there will be hurricanes along the coast. It is common for houses to be destroyed. Although the wind in the Guanzhong area is relatively weak, it can't exclude tornadoes and short-term super winds. Once the strong wind blows over the bridge, it will form a wind vortex above and below the bridge, like an undercurrent vortex under the water."
Zu Mingjun frowned and said, "Although the wind is strong, it shouldn't be able to blow down such a heavy bridge! Since ancient times, I've only heard of a bridge being destroyed by a flood, but I've never heard of a bridge being blown down by wind. "
Li Yun smiled bitterly. "That's because for thousands of years, bridges have all been arch bridges. They rely on their own arch to support their weight. The Wei River Bridge is a suspension bridge second to none. Half of its weight is supported by thick suspension cables. It doesn't have the gravity of a stone arch bridge. Once it encounters a continuous gust of wind, it will form a resonance between the wind and the bridge deck. I call it a vortex vibration. When the vortex vibration occurs, it will cause the bridge deck to shake. If it's light, the bridge deck will shake.
After Li Yun finished speaking, he forcefully blew at the model of the Wei River Bridge beside him. Sure enough, the bridge deck of the model actually swayed in the wind.
"Resonance!" Zu Mingjun's heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew about resonance. This was the first time Mo Jiazi had proposed it, but it had already received the approval of the Hundred Schools.
"The School of Mohism truly lives up to its reputation. Brother Li, I truly admire you!" Zu Mingjun sighed.
Li Yun said casually, "It was just a fluke. If it wasn't for Brother Mo discovering the cause of his illness and comprehending some principles of water pressure, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to integrate the Bridge Building Technique."
"Congratulations, Brother Li. You've finally become a family." Zu Mingjun congratulated.
"This is also thanks to the Zu Family's help." Li Yun solemnly thanked. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the same time. They immediately felt that they had no regrets in life to have such a close friend.
Then the two of them transformed into heads and eyes, and the other transformed into hands and feet. Sometimes, they would quarrel until their faces turned red, and sometimes they would sincerely cooperate to build the bridge.
It was acknowledged that close friends were hard to find. Otherwise, the story of high mountains and flowing rivers would be widely spread. Now that there was a Tang dynasty Boya Ziqi in front of them, how could they not be amazed? Moreover, the legendary experiences of Li Yun and Zu Mingjun were not inferior to the story of Boya Ziqi. The Wei River Bridge was also not inferior to the story of high mountains and flowing rivers.
There were even people in Chang 'an who didn't hesitate to travel long distances to the Wei River to see the Wei River Bridge that was under construction. When they saw the majestic bridge, they were all amazed. When they saw the tall five-story building beside the Wei River Bridge, they were all in awe.
In a short time, the reputation of the Xiangfu Family of Mo was once again famous in the Tang dynasty after a thousand years.
In the Jiangnan area.
Yang Siqi was wearing a black robe and was followed by many disciples. Among the three branches of Mo, the Xiangli Family's Mo Village was like the sun in the sky. The Xiangfu Family's branch was famous because of the Wei River Bridge. Only the Dengling Family was left alone.
In order to let the Dengling Family flourish and not be too far behind the other two branches, Yang Siqi began to recruit disciples. In a short time, the Dengling Family in Jiangnan could be said to be limitless, and disciples gathered in large numbers.
"Master is really amazing. You solved such a difficult problem for Jiangnan as soon as you took action." Deng Long, the eldest disciple of the Dengling Family, flattered. Deng Long was the descendant of a landlord in Jiangnan. He was very fond of Mohism. When the development of Jiangnan began, he took the initiative to become Yang Siqi's disciple and became the eldest disciple of the Dengling Family.
Yang Siqi said proudly, "The Xiangfu Family is the best in the art of bridge building. The Mohist Family is the best in the world in terms of mechanical skills. And the Dengling Family has never been inferior to anyone in terms of mechanical skills. Even the Gongshu Family that is building silver vaults in the Tang dynasty is the same."
"With master, the Dengling Family will definitely prosper." Deng Long and the other disciples said loudly.
"Of course. The three branches of Mo have been neck and neck for a thousand years. How can the Dengling Family let the other two branches have the advantage?" Yang Siqi said proudly.
"The Dengling Family has been passed down for a thousand years. Of course it is extraordinary. However, there is still a big gap between us and the other two branches. Now there is a chance for us to surpass the other two branches. I wonder if master is interested." The second disciple, Xiao Dengkui, said seriously.
"Surpassing the other two branches? Junior brother is too impatient. Now the Xiangli Family has the Mohist Family and Mo Jiazi. The Xiangfu Family is in charge of the Wei River Bridge. The descendant of Li Chun, Li Yun, is famous. And the Dengling Family is only supported by master. We have not finished our apprenticeship yet. How can we surpass the other two branches?" Deng Long said with a frown.
He was the landlord of a landlord in Jiangnan. Xiao Dengkui was the descendant of the Xiao Family. The two often argued because of their different views.
Xiao Dengkui sneered and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm not speaking nonsense. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, then my Dengling Clan will regret it for the rest of our lives."
"Once-In-A-Lifetime opportunity? Tell me about it! "Yang Siqi said.
"That is, the Dengling Family will replace the Mohist Family and lead the development of Jiangnan." Xiao Dengkui said.
