Soldier's Assault: Rebirth of the Fifth Squad Leader on the Grassland

Chapter 203 An Easier Way!

At this moment, Xu Sanduo also wanted to suggest that the five-pointed star is more beautiful, but seeing Li Meng's unattractive expression, Xu Sanduo finally swallowed his opinion.

After being assigned to the fifth class, Xu Sanduo often didn't know which one he should choose when faced with the disagreement between Li Meng and the class leader. His reason told him that he should choose the class leader, but he was also afraid of Li Meng. , because Li Meng would get angry with him, but the squad leader would not, and most of the time, the squad leader was better than Li Meng, so most of the time, he either won Li Meng or kept silent
Xu Sanduo regretted it a little bit. He knew this was the case. He didn’t tell Li Meng and the others about the pattern when they came out of the meal. He just told Ma Zhi directly, so that they could determine the most suitable pattern from the beginning. come out.

Although Li Meng's face is not good-looking now, in fact, he has already agreed in his heart, and replaced the pattern on the road with a five-pointed star, because he also realized that the five-pointed star is the most suitable, the rose that he thought of. more suitable.

But Li Meng still wanted to save face, he said: "Now that the three of us agree to use a five-pointed star instead of roses, then according to our old rules, the minority obeys the majority, and the five-pointed star should be used. I also agree, but I am a follower Everyone's opinion, not mine..."

In fact, when Li Meng said such words, he himself felt that he could not continue. Fortunately, no one said any harsh sarcastic remarks at the moment.

"Do you want to compare it? We have to make a standard five-pointed star."

As Old Wei said, he took his footsteps from the middle position and started to measure. He was going to measure the size first.

Seeing that Old Wei was measuring the size of the ground with his feet, Xue Lin couldn't help saying to Old Wei.

"Old Wei, you can't measure it with your footsteps. Since you want to get a standard five-pointed star, you must measure it accurately."

Old Wei also knew that even if his steps were very even, if he really calculated carefully, there would definitely be gaps.

Old Wei turned his head and asked Xue Lin: "Then how do you measure it? Do we have such a long tool? We still have a set of triangles and compasses in the drawer of our dormitory. Can he use those things? Are you planning to use the triangle on top of it?" That ruler measures bit by bit compared to the past?"

Xue Lin was speechless by what Old Wei said, and what Old Wei said was indeed true. In the drawer of their dormitory, there was indeed a pair of tools, a pair of plastic set squares, and a compasses for pencil leads. It's okay to draw pictures on it, but if it's used to measure the ground, it's really not good.

The conversation between Old Wei and Xue Linlin reached Li Meng's ears. Only then did Li Meng realize that they still had unsolvable problems, so he also asked.

"Then what should we do? Since we want to make a five-pointed star, we must make a standard five-pointed star. We can't make a slanted five-pointed star. In that case, we might as well not make one."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ma Zhi came up to stop them.

"Stop arguing, isn't it just to draw a five-pointed star, this is not difficult, I know how to do it."

Since Ma Zhi said that it can be solved, the three of them, Li Mengxue and Lin, naturally stopped arguing about this problem, and they came together to ask Ma Zhi what to do.

Old Wei came up to Ma Zhi and asked, "Old Ma, since we don't have the right tools, what are you going to do? Tell us about it."

Ma Zhidao: "If we want to make a standard five-pointed star, the easiest way is to make a circle first. Only with a circle as a standard can we make a good five-pointed star."

Even if the people present are not good at studying, they also know that if they want to make a standard five-pointed star, it is correct to draw a circle as a standard first, but now a difficult problem is how to draw a circle. They don’t have such a big compasses here. .

Li Meng said to Ma Zhi: "Squad leader, what you said is simple. You make a big circle. We have compasses, but they are only that big. There is no way to draw a standard circle on our side."

Xue Lin said: "It's actually not difficult. Since we want to draw a standard circle, we don't have a suitable tool at hand, but we can make a suitable tool. Isn't it just a compass? That thing is quite simple. Before we Didn’t we pick a lot of sticks when making chicken rings? We can get two sticks and align them to make a large compasses, right?”?
Old Wei also said: "Well, Xue Lin's method is okay. I think his method will work. If that's the case, let's do it now. I'll make tools."

Hearing what they said, Ma Zhi couldn't help but smile wryly. It wasn't that their ideas were immature. In fact, he felt that Xue Lin's idea was still feasible.

It is indeed a very good way to make a large compass with two sticks, but it is too complicated, just draw a circle, and there is no such trouble at all, besides, the road paved with stones here, But it is very uneven, even if a large compasses are manually made on it, it is not easy to use.

Ma Zhi stopped Old Wei who was going to find a stick to make a large compasses in time, and said to them.

"Although your method is feasible, there is an easier way. Don't bother making tools. Let me do this. You should prepare the stones for making the five-pointed star first. "

"Old horse, what can I do?"

When Old Wei heard that Ma Zhi had an easier method, he couldn't help becoming curious. In fact, when Xue Lin talked about making a large compass, Old Wei and the others also thought about whether there was any other more suitable method, but they thought After much deliberation, I finally felt that it was feasible to make a large compass.

Not only Old Wei was curious, but Li Meng, Xue Lin and even Xu Sanduo were all very curious. They also wanted to know what the simpler method Ma Zhi said.

They certainly didn't think that Ma Zhi could draw a standard circle just by his own feeling without relying on any tools.

"That's right, monitor, what is the method, please tell us first."

Li Meng also asked Ma Zhi, besides being curious, he also wanted to ask Ma Zhi to tell him the method he said, and then he would improve on Ma Zhi's method, and he might think of a simpler method.

Ma Zhi didn't, and told them what the simple method was right now. He didn't intend to arouse their curiosity, but he didn't think it was necessary to say it. After all, what he said was likely to be said ironically.
