Chapter 5: Cen Jiexiao's First Design: Crossbow and Four-Wheeled Cart
The next morning, after a good night's sleep and a breakfast carefully prepared by Xiaozhi, Cen Jiexiao began the first step of her grand plan. She tried hard to recall the book "100,000 Whys" she had read as a child. In Cen Jiexiao's memory, the book contained images of a crossbow and a four-wheeled cart.
Although I am not good at this or that, my memory is still acceptable. It can be said that God has closed many doors and windows for me, leaving only a vent.
Sitting at her desk, Cen Jiexiao was inspired like a spring. While recalling the popular science knowledge she had read in her childhood, she kept drawing the designs of a crossbow and a four-wheeled cart.
She held the paintbrush tightly in her right hand, and whenever she found a suitable inspiration memory, she would hurriedly record it on the sketch.
The only lights in the room were the dim glow of the oil lamp and the incessant sound of Cen Jiexiao's writing. At midnight, soft moonlight filtered through the window, casting a shadow over Cen Jiexiao's bent back, adding a touch of mystery to her efforts.
She put down her pen, stretched, and then carefully unfolded her design sketch, touching every detail almost respectfully.
Just as she was concentrating on examining the design, Xiaozhi woke up from her dream, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at Sister Cen Xiao who was observing the ordinary pieces of paper on the table, drawing all kinds of new instruments that she had never seen before.
Cen Jiexiao turned her head and gave Xiaozhi a smile full of accomplishment, as if inviting her to share the sense of accomplishment at this moment.
Xiaozhi took a few quick steps and looked closer at the drawing of the crossbow and the four-wheeled cart, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.
"Did you really draw this, Miss?" She was shocked and almost whispered, afraid that her voice would disturb the sacredness.
Cen Jiexiao nodded, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "Yes, Xiaozhi, this is my first step."
After saying that, Cen Jiexiao leaned back in her chair, her eyes deep, as if she was thinking about what to do next.
Xiaozhi was completely attracted by the creativity in front of her. She gently touched the drawing as if she was touching the future.
The two of them, one full of dreams and ambitions, the other full of expectations and loyalty, just like that under the midnight moonlight...
The next day, Cen Jiexiao handed the drawings to Yu Lan and explained every detail of the design on the drawings.
At this time, Yu Lan asked a crucial yet polite question: "Miss, how did you know the process of making crossbows and four-wheeled carts?"
Cen Jiexiao had already thought of a confusing answer, and explained with a bit of embarrassment that these were all dreams she had during the days when she fell and injured her head.
After hearing this, Yu Lan didn't know whether she should believe it or not, and her face was full of confusion.
Holding the blueprint drawn by Sister Cen Xiao, he hurried through the bustling streets of Linkang Prefecture and headed straight for Carpenter Zhang's workshop.
She was full of anticipation, not only because the design on the drawing was unprecedented, but also because Sister Cen Xiao's determination and confidence infected her.
After passing through a narrow alley, they arrived at a workshop covered in sawdust. "Master Zhang, please take a look at this design," Yu Lan's excitement was evident.
Carpenter Zhang looked up with curiosity, "Oh? What rare drawings make Miss Yu Lan so anxious?" He asked as he walked closer to look at the drawings in Yu Lan's hand. It was obvious that he was a curious carpenter.
Yu Lan carefully pulled the blueprint from her sleeve and unfolded it for Carpenter Zhang to see. The blueprint was meticulously marked with dimensions and design details, indicating that this was undoubtedly a major project.
Carpenter Zhang was stunned and speechless for a long time. He had seen countless crafts and techniques in his life, but the design on the blueprint before him was undoubtedly something new and unique that he had never seen before.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his excitement was beyond words. "What, what is this? Such a novel design!"
Yu Lan smiled calmly, "This was designed by my eldest daughter. Everyone in the academy knows that you have superb craftsmanship and ingenuity, so I asked you to help make it." When she talked about the drawings, her eyes flashed with trust and pride in Sister Cen Xiao.
After hearing this, Carpenter Zhang said no more and immediately immersed himself in an in-depth study of the drawings.
As night falls, the lights in the workshop are brightly on, and Carpenter Zhang is still working selflessly.
His hands danced over the wood, and every measurement and cut was extremely precise.
The crossbow made him very excited, and the design of the four-wheeled cart made him smile with joy. He knew that he was participating in the creation of something unprecedented.
