My art is too advanced.

Chapter 118: Zhou Gou is just like this? (Two in one, please read it!!!)
"Let's see something fun first."

"Let's link the two wooden poles together first."

"However, wooden poles do not guarantee the stability of the structure."

Zhou Yue kept drawing rectangular rods on the blackboard. He wrote very quickly and finished them in a very short time.

"We apply a push here, and the pole deforms."

"What should we do then?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Add diagonal braces."

Ask and answer your own questions, because there is no need to ask questions and waste time. Obviously these people will have a lot of explanations, after all, they are all top geniuses.

“When the force passes through this wooden pole, it is transmitted through the diagonal brace.”

This is a very obvious thing. As long as you have learned some high school physics, you can understand it. What Zhou Yue talks about is also the most basic.

"When we put this structure between two columns, it increases the stability of the columns."

"If we connect many such structures and add more diagonal braces to transmit the direction of force, it will become a stable structural force unit."

Zhou Yue continued to draw the structural diagram in his hands.

Even the direction of force transmission was outlined with a red pen.

“If we put this structure in a circle, then the stability of the structure will have reached the desired standard.”

"We added columns above and below, and then used brackets to support the eaves. Then, we have designed the whole thing. It's just like a structural diagram on a blueprint. It's very simple to set up, right?"

“So, just like that, we created the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda.”

Zhou Yue drew a cross-section diagram, but he didn't have enough time to draw a complete drawing, so he didn't do it.

Even if I can draw, it's tiring enough.

Even the old men were silent when they looked at the nodes on the drawings.

They felt a sense of ease that came easily to them.

This young man seems to be able to explain very complex things very clearly.

The most important thing about ancient buildings is their structure.

Being able to explain a complex building so simply has already convinced them.

What shocked them even more.

Yes, this young man really understands!
And it is no exaggeration to say that they really listened to him. Even if they came with the purpose of criticism, they were able to follow Zhou Yue's ideas.

After all, this thing is really interesting and simple.

This is a very simple structure, and it doesn’t involve anything complicated at all.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhou Yue did not talk about something more complicated.

The people below also became focused.

However, a group of people sitting in the back row had already started pointing and talking.

"What he said was indeed very interesting. If some self-media blogger told me this, I might have given him a thumbs up, but this is Zhou Gou, so I can only say that it's nothing special."

"Yeah, is that all Zhou Gou is?"

"There is no mention of ancient buildings in his monograph, but now he has introduced ancient buildings here."

"Why does it feel like this thing isn't that complicated? It's nothing more than a few pillars and a few diagonal braces. Is it really that difficult?"

"Is this a blind spot in Zhou Gou's knowledge? For ordinary scholars of architecture, they won't study ancient buildings too deeply, right? Besides, does Ning University offer this course? As far as I know, it doesn't. Could it be that Zhou Gou is self-taught?"

"Why do I feel like Zhou Gou looked it up on the Internet before he came to give the lecture? This thing is really not that difficult, and it doesn't seem like something Zhou Gou could do. It's written in his monograph. It can be said that it does look difficult to me, but if this thing can't even tell the force, then I wouldn't have been admitted to the physics competition."

"How did you get into the Department of Architecture when you competed in the physics competition?"

"……unimportant!"

"But think about it carefully. Does this structure with a diagonal brace look like something?" Zhou Yue continued.

"What does it look like? Have you ever passed by a shopping mall that is being renovated? There is a layer of green netting outside, and inside the green net, there is a scaffolding that is stabilized by diagonal braces."

"Is it any different from this structure? There is no difference. Both structures transmit force downwards. Both are built up layer by layer, and both even transmit force to the ground."

“So, things from ancient times are still in use today, just in a different form.”

Zhou Yue briefly introduced the application of this thing nowadays. In fact, the ancients were not primitive people. Generally speaking, what you can think of now, the ancients could also do.

It’s just that the tools nowadays are more advanced.

"I'll show you something fun."

The structure of an ancient building is still too little, and it may not necessarily achieve the desired effect.

At least let everyone understand the basic principles of ancient architecture.

Zhou Yue continued drawing on the blackboard on the other side.

“It’s a row of pillars, with beams and holes cut through them.”

"That way, we were able to lay rafters and build the roof, but, with so many columns, it took up a lot of intensively used space."

"We can shorten some of the columns and put them on the beams."

"By analogy, we can add columns layer by layer, so that the columns of the upper eaves ride on the beams of the lower eaves."

"In this way, we can achieve the goal of increasing the height while keeping the usable space large enough."

“By expanding the exterior a little bit, we built a drum tower.”

“These are ancient buildings.”

Zhou Yue drew several node diagrams and a cross-section diagram of the final finished building.

Professor Liu watched carefully.

Nodding from time to time.

Indeed.

This drawing is extremely stunning.

Even if he were to draw it, he might not be able to draw it like this.

"The little guy draws very well." Professor Liu sighed.

He really felt that Zhou Yue's drawing skills were extraordinary.

Ancient buildings are difficult to draw, and they are drawn on the blackboard on the spot. All kinds of structures can be fully reflected, especially the pillars and beams. How can these small rectangles and small columns be drawn so straight!

Ancient architecture is in short supply of this kind of talent.

Nowadays, ancient buildings serve the high-end market, and not just high-end, but even ultra-high-end. Only the top wealthy businessmen can afford such ancient buildings.

This is not a good thing.

Because if this continues, the circle will become smaller and smaller, and it is normal for the tradition to be lost.

He did not want to see it being completely lost or absorbed by other architectural fields.

The young man in front of him really made him feel refreshed.

Professor Cao smiled and glanced at Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang naturally understood what he meant and wanted him to comment.

Mr. Huang sat in the middle, still with a calm expression, "This isn't a complicated structure, so what can he do even if he tells it to you?"

"No, you are wrong, Mr. Huang." Professor Liu said. Although the two sides do have different ideas and are divided into two factions, this is academic, and they are all at the top of the industry and cannot speak against their conscience.

"The structure of this ancient building is like this. If you say it's complicated, then it's definitely not that complicated. In addition, you can imagine how strong a skill it takes to draw such a detailed drawing."

"Besides, being able to explain a complex structure in a simple way is a skill."

Professor Liu looked quite serious.

"How long did it take him to draw these two drawings? Less than half an hour, and he explained them in detail and clearly. This is a real talent."

"At least in the field of ancient architecture, he is completely knowledgeable enough. Just look at the cross-section and you can see the level of this young man. The details of ancient architecture are complicated. Although he omitted some details, overall, every stroke of his is in line with the norms of ancient architecture. He omitted so much that it could not be omitted any more. He really understands it."

Professor Liu has done in-depth research on ancient architecture, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the best in the country, so he pays more attention to the details. In this cross-section drawing alone, not a single stroke is redundant!
Even a seemingly useless small horizontal line could not be noticed by others, but Professor Liu felt like he had met a soulmate.

I can only keep praising it.

This young man’s understanding of ancient buildings is definitely not as simple as they think.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Hearing Professor Liu say this, Mr. Huang was not angry.

After all, he could see that this young man seemed to have some knowledge, but now he was just saying the most basic things, and he couldn't just rush to praise him.

And he is Professor Cao’s man.

I can only say it's ok.

Look again.

The many students below were also constantly praising.

"Why do I feel that the architectural drawings drawn by Teacher Zhou are like those printed out? Is there really anyone who can do this? I have heard that decades ago, those old professors all drew by hand, and quite a few of them were drawings of ancient buildings. Why do I feel that Teacher Zhou is not much worse than them!"

"Yes, this drawing is so beautiful! Teacher Zhou is a fine arts major, right?"

"You explained it well. At least I understood these two drawings. Are ancient buildings really that interesting? I'm starting to like them now."

"This is an ancient building. Maybe when you reach a certain age, your blood starts to awaken and you start to like these traditional things."

"I never get tired of listening to Teacher Zhou's class."

"..."

Of course, there are definitely some discordant voices.

“Why are these two structures so simple?”

"Is ancient architecture really that simple? Not really. Last time we offered this elective course, many students were intimidated by the idea because they thought it was too difficult, so we didn't even offer this elective course."

"Maybe it's not that ancient architecture is too simple, but that Zhou Gou explained it in a simple way. There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe ancient architecture is really an academic blind spot."

"Yes, even if Zhou Gou is very good, he is only good in the field of modern architecture. How can he understand ancient architecture just by saying so?"

"There's still an hour and a half left. Let's see how he ends this. If this is all his knowledge of ancient architecture, then we can only say, that's it?"

"..."

They admitted that Zhou Yue was very capable. After all, his academic achievements were there. If he didn't have any real skills, he would have been kicked out of Ning University long ago.

But no matter how great you are, you wouldn't dare to take on Dong Bo's topic!
Do you say whatever I tell you to say?
First ask yourself if you can do it!
Although they were a bit picky, they would not say a word of praise until Zhou Gou was completely convinced.

If Zhou Yue failed here, they would definitely applaud.

After torturing them for so long, we must get some interest back at least.

See what Zhou Yue is going to draw next.

A student sitting in the front row stood up and asked, "Should we erase these two pictures?"

He was going to help wipe it off.

Zhou Yue shook his head gently and responded with a smile, "I won't wipe it off yet, thank you."

He is so loving, you can tell at first glance that he is an undergraduate.

The undergraduate students at Jinghua University are still the cutest.

The group of graduate students, including PhD students, were looking at him scrutinically from behind.

He really wanted to tell them, don't be afraid, Teacher Zhou is not a bad person.

But he could only shake his head gently.

"The drawing is finished, let's analyze the nodes." Zhou Yue rolled up his sleeves, took a look at the two cross-sectional drawings above, and began to casually circle a node with a red pen.

“Analyze the forces acting on this ancient building system.”

"See why these ancient buildings have been able to stand for thousands of years."

Everyone, "."

So drawing is just an appetizer?
Let’s take a look at two fun ones first. It’s not fun now, right?
What's the point of force? It's like a physics class, right?
However, Zhou Yue ignored them.

"Let's do a force analysis. It's actually very simple." Zhou Yue began to do mechanical simulation analysis.

But it is actually very simple.

It is nothing more than the force being transmitted downward, and ultimately transmitted by the columns to the foundation.

At this moment, no one felt anything.

It's nothing more than normal force analysis.

Mr. Huang in front also sighed softly.

There is still more than an hour of lecture time. Are we just going to do questions that even a child can do?

Force analysis of this simple structure.

And let others make it.

He simply doesn't take the students of Jinghua University seriously.

If he hadn't been concerned about the negative impact, he might have just left.

Professor Cao is not worried at all.

Just sit there quietly.

The confidence Zhou Yue gave him was truly sufficient.

Since Zhou Yue said he can speak, then he definitely can.

Even if that's all, can you say that these two small structures are meaningless?

He felt fine.

But soon.

"Let's look at another complex node of an ancient building."

Zhou Yue continued painting.

However, this time, Zhou Yue spent more than ten minutes drawing the picture, and even explained what structure he had drawn while he was drawing.

Even each piece of wooden structure has a specific name.

A node diagram is even larger than the previous building's cross-section diagram.

Finally, he continued to smile, his voice calm, "Let's analyze the internal force of this bracket structure and the curve equation of the roof above."
