NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
The feel she developed over many years in the study room has been deeply ingrained into her instincts.
Lin Yu cleaned up the disconnected areas of the puppets, carved out concave and convex areas that could be spliced together, then inserted the gears and used the mortise and tenon technique.
Although the splicing process is a bit troublesome, after this afternoon's transformation, not only does the puppet look more vivid, but even the places where the splicing traces were originally visible are only faintly visible splicing lines.
Lin Fei looked at the long bar inserted behind the villain with curiosity. Lin Yu turned it a few times and placed it on the table. Lin Fei's eyes widened when he saw the villain walking away, and he was so shocked that he said Speechless.
Lin Yu poked his silly forehead in a funny way: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Of course, ancient technology couldn't make the little man move with wood, but after repeated study and modifications, this seemingly small The wooden man is loaded with five or six small gears, which rotate continuously under the twist of this long switch. Once the switch stops twisting, the gear will twist back on its own and affect the lower limbs, and the wooden man will move on its own.
But as long as the gear turns enough, it will automatically stop.
"...So awesome! Second sister! You are so awesome!"
After regaining consciousness, Lin Fei shouted happily, carefully picked up the puppet, and twisted it twice like his sister, but it didn't twist.
Lin Yu said softly: "Stronger, it will not break like wood."
After hearing this, Lin Fei dared to use force, but still twisted it twice carefully before placing it on the table.
The gears that can rotate smoothly only after touching the ground pull the limbs, and they start to move around, vividly like a wood elf.
Two hours have passed since this transformation.
Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time in March, and I think of my father and mother who are the most tiring digging.
Lin Yu pulled the excited Lin Fei out of the room.
Ask him to pour warm water from the kitchen into the kettle and deliver water to his parents.
After hearing this, Lin Fei obediently put away the brand-new little man. No matter how novel the toy in his hand was, and how much he liked it, it could not compete with the importance of bringing water to his parents.
Thinking of how hard the work was, Lin Yu opened the cabinet and took out the few hard brown sugars inside, poured it into the kettle and shook it.
Looking at Lin Fei's eager eyes, she poured him a small bowl of sweet mouth.
"Sister, I won't drink...give it to mom and dad."
"It's okay, there are still many. Be good, my sister will buy you many, many candies in the future."
In an era when food and clothing were scarce, candies were rare items, and you could not touch anything tasty twice a year.
Lin Fei swallowed his saliva several times, and after his sister's persuasion, he took a cautious sip. He refused to drink the remaining sip and left it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu rubbed her black hair, which was dull due to malnutrition, and drank the slightly sweet water in one gulp. He made up his mind to use what he had learned to lead this family on the road to prosperity.
At the very least, he couldn't fall behind the koi fish next door and the reborn female supporting character. Otherwise, what's the point of reviving her life for someone else?
After all, it is a task, so the higher the score, the better!
The two siblings held hands and stepped out of the door. Walk on another side and shake the water in the kettle so that the little sugar inside can melt as soon as possible.
Although memory told Lin Yu that it was very hard to go to the ground, the ground that had obviously been rained on was still stubborn. Digging these fields is still very physically demanding, not to mention that the grass roots buried under the snow over the past winter have long been connected to each other, adding some resistance to the people digging the ground.
Seeing the sweat on Boss Lin and Huang Cui's heads, Lin Yu locked his eyes on the long field and fell into deep thought.
In the study room, she also saw many sharp iron products, some of which could even farm fields automatically without the need for humans to operate them. But they didn't need such advanced technological items in the late 60s.
Lin Yu planned to combine some of the farming tools he had seen before and some iron pieces to try.
Lin Yu had an idea, collected the kettle and couldn't wait to go to the carpenter's grandfather's house.
The 60-year-old carpenter grandfather is still in good health. Living alone in a three-room house is lonely. Therefore, he always welcomed the arrival of the Lin family siblings. He went into the house and poured some cold water, and looked at the little doll that Lin Fei was playing with with surprise in his eyes.
Kindly asked: "Xiao Fei, can you let grandpa see this?"
Lin Fei nodded and reluctantly handed over the doll.
Lin Yu next to him said hello and went into the tool room where Old Man Zhou often stored tools, wood and iron pieces. Looking at the materials inside, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction. Although it is not as much material as the study room, it is already extremely rich at the moment.
As expected of a family whose ancestors worked for the emperor, the various tools were dazzling to see. What can be preserved in this era are ordinary things that, although uncommon, do not violate any of the Four Old Rules.
Lin Yu picked out a few iron sheets, sharpened their edges, applied oil and scratched the wood next to them. Clearly visible marks were printed on them, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Pick out a piece of wood with a thick wrist and start carving. After installing the gear, stop and turn the switch key next to it from time to time to see if it can rotate smoothly, and then snap the iron piece on.
The first time I made the combination of wood and iron, I was still a little unfamiliar. The gap between the installed iron pieces was too large and it slipped directly. Hongye knocked on the table and decided to open a crack deep in the log and use a mortise and tenon structure to join it.
The trouble of doing this is to include the minimum area that the iron sheet can squeeze, and the gear inside must be made smaller. This is undoubtedly a big project.
It wasn't until the sun set outside that Lin Yu finally completed the work. She was playing with something that looked like a wooden wheel, with a sharp-edged iron hook inserted diagonally outside the round wheel.
As Lin Yu held the switch next to him and turned it, the wooden wheel and iron hook also began to turn.
"Not bad!"
Hongye looked up and found that Old Man Zhou was standing at the table with his hands behind his back. He didn't know how long he had been looking at her.
It is precisely because the son-in-law who married into the Zhou family is also named Zhou. People were laughing at the old Zhou family behind their backs. I still don’t know if the Zhou family name has changed this time?
However, the old Zhou family didn't mind. This son-in-law was also a capable person, so the chatter and laughter gradually faded away. To this day, people only remember the old carpenter at the end of the village as a very capable man.
