When they heard what Qingyan said so confidently, the two brothers believed it to be true. They thought it was because they were ignorant, and they nodded and said they would study hard in the future.
Seeing that the two children agreed, Qingyan leaned forward again and continued to hold the brush and start drawing.
"Do you have any other requirements for this tree house?" Qingyan asked casually while sketching the lines of the entire front yard on the paper.
To be honest, her requirements for the tree house are not high, as long as it is practical, for her it is just a place to stay in the tree, but for the two little dumplings, it is of extraordinary significance.
This is the first time the two of them have collaborated together, and Qingyan hopes to mobilize their sense of participation as much as possible.
Witnessing something come into existence from scratch and leaving its own traces on it. In this way, no matter when the two of them see this tree house located on the tall ginkgo tree, they will easily recall their childhood.
This innocent and beautiful experience.
Hearing what Qingyan said, the two people sitting opposite also started brainstorming actively.
Baoqing touched his chin and remembered that the blue-tailed bird flew directly to the bird's nest on the treetop. He turned his head to Qingyan and suggested seriously:
"I want to be able to go directly into the tree house without climbing up. Is that possible?"
"Well~ the ground of the tree house is a whole wooden board elevated on a big tree branch. We can open the door and windows on the side of the tree house, but the floor must be tightly jointed. If you don't want to climb the tree, just go in directly
It's probably impossible to get to the tree house." Qingyan thought for a while, then shook her head slightly and said to Baoqing.
"Oh, forget it then." Bao Qing understood Qingyan's serious explanation without perfunctory and nodded in understanding.
But the question raised by Baoqing really prompted Qingyan to think.
Now their little arms and legs are still too short.
This ginkgo tree has been around for some years, and it has grown thick and tall. Baoqing could barely wrap his arms around it, while Yinreng could only act like a little kitten pendant when he pounced on it.
If the actual problem of climbing a tree cannot be solved smoothly, this tree house will be useless. Even if it is built, since the two of them are not tall enough, they will have to wait for an unknown amount of time before they can successfully climb the tree.
He Zhuer, who was standing next to him, saw that Qingyan was silent and was obviously in a state of thinking. He had some small thoughts on this issue, so he said: "Little master, I think if we build a tree on this tree."
Something like a ladder may be able to achieve the idea of climbing up without any effort as Brother Baoqing said."
"Ladder..." After Qingyan received He Zhuer's reminder, she concentrated on thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
After briefly imagining this picture in my mind, I rejected it.
The legs of the two little dumplings are so short. In order to allow them to step up with less effort, the height of each step must be as short as possible. However, the height of the tree branch is fixed, which means that many steps must be made.
of stairs.
This not only requires a large amount of work, but also does not look very beautiful. Of course, the most important thing is that even if the craftsmen install strong handrails on both sides of the stairs, the height will definitely become steeper as you go up.
It was no joke that their small steps missed the mark and they fell down from the top.
Qingyan thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem. She encountered a problem at the beginning. She originally wanted to skip this problem and start designing the tree house. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
After passing the box-type elevator that went up and down vertically at the end of the world, I quickly lowered my head and picked up a pen and drew an ellipse with a thin line on the left side of the "tree", and marked the words "Luokung Elevator" on it.
Qingyan's painting skills are not good, but she has practiced calligraphy well. The beautiful hand-made small regular script with hairpins is very easy to recognize. However, Baoqing has just started to learn and doesn't know many characters, while Baocheng still can't read a single big character.
Baby, the two children couldn't understand what Qingyan wrote on the paper.
Looking up, she saw the confusion in the big eyes of the two brothers. Qingyan laughed out loud, waved her hands quickly and said: "Don't worry, I have come up with a solution to this problem, although there is no way to achieve it."
Just let the two of you enter the tree house with a 'swish' from the ground, but if you add something that can be lifted and lowered at the right place, we can stand outside the tree house without climbing the tree."
Baoqing and Baocheng looked at each other. Although they still didn't quite understand, they understood that the problem had been solved.
Immediately following, Yinreng, who was sitting on the high stool, waved his little arms to indicate to Qingyan: "Gu, if you want, no need to climb down, just go up and down from the tree house."
He Zhuer: ...This one up and down, they are indeed two brothers.
"No problem, this is easy to implement."
Qingyan, who was inspired by the elevator, reacted quickly this time and gave Yinreng a positive reply. She quickly drew two parallel lines with a slightly narrower width on the right side of the "tree" and pulled them next to them.
An arrow marked with the word "SLIDE".
Seeing that this problem could be solved, Baoqing had a new idea: "I also want to lie in the tree house and see the stars in the sky when I look up."
"It's not difficult at all. All we need to do is open a skylight at a suitable location on the top of the treetop."
Qingyan was marking on the paper as she spoke, but suddenly the pen tip paused, remembering that the Qing Dynasty could not produce large pieces of glass on its own, and the high-priced glass products on the market basically came from overseas.
If there is no glass and white oil paper is used to seal the skylight, then the wish to see the stars cannot be realized. Considering this, Qingyan temporarily used a bracket to enclose the word "skylight".
Seeing Qingyan's movements, Yinreng was a little confused: "Auntie, can you do this, or can't you do it?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but in reality there's still something missing."
Qingyan reached out and rubbed Baocheng's little furry head, which was leaning from the right, and then gently used an extremely weak power to circle the gauze on his forehead.
During the meal, she heard He Zhuer mention that Yinreng would take off the gauze in the next two days. Just in case, she had better use her power again. Such a beautiful little face must not be left behind.
A little scarred.
The little prince felt itchy on his forehead again. He raised his little hand to fasten the gauze, but Qingyan quickly stopped him. She immediately put down the pen in her hand, stretched out her arms and picked him up into her arms.
"What exactly is Aunt Erwa missing? Can't we just ask Khan Amma for it?"
Baoqing could understand in a literal sense that this skylight was also a window, but for something like a window that could be seen everywhere, he really couldn't figure out what was missing to prevent it from being installed on the tree house.
Qingyan could tell that Baoqing was thinking seriously, so she said directly: "What we are short of is glass. Do you two know about glass? It is the kind of transparent and shiny thing that is very expensive."
Baoqing shook his head, and Yinreng, who was sitting in the arms of his beautiful aunt, raised his little hand: "Gu, have you seen it before? There is a big glass mirror in Khan's Ama Palace. Khan's Ama will do it every day."
,Look at it in the mirror and see if it looks beautiful."
"My lord, that's not what His Highness thinks. The Emperor just thinks that this Western glass mirror is clearer, so he is used to looking at his clothes every day before going out to see if they are neat." He Zhuer hurriedly stood aside.
Waving her hands, she explained to Qingyan.
Qingyan:...Isn't this different in essence? No wonder the young prince said in the Cining Palace that his mother was counting pockmarks in the mirror. She was thinking at that time that it was indeed a bronze mirror used by the emperor, polished by craftsmen.
The ground is really clear, but my feelings are still limited by my thinking. Kangxi used full-body glass mirrors in today's era!
"Your Highness, this glass is different from the glass mirror. The glass is transparent and shiny, but the mirror is not transparent. So far, our own craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty cannot make these two things. Basically, the glass products on the market are
From other countries, the prices are also very expensive."
"The world is not peaceful now. If word gets out that we bought large pieces of glass to make skylights for the tree house, people will say it is extravagant."
"Can't Khan Amma make one too?" Baoqing asked in surprise.
Qingyan didn't want to lie to them both, so she nodded.
Baoqing felt a little complicated. In the enlightenment class this morning, Master Nalan just told him that Khan Amma is the most powerful person in the world. He is rich in the world and can do anything. Unexpectedly, it has just arrived in the afternoon.
I was slapped in the face.
"Then, when Gu grows up, Gu will definitely be able to make it!" Yinreng said, holding his little fist.
"Yes, I can definitely make it." Baoqing also said quickly.
"Hahahahaha, okay, then I will wait for you two to quickly make more glass and replace the windows inside and outside my Chuxiu Palace."
The children's ideas needed encouragement, and it sounded very feasible, so Qingyan gave each of them a thumbs up to support them mentally.
She had seen a lot of glass in the base in her previous life, and had also studied the main components of glass in a middle school chemistry textbook.
But now, two lifetimes later, she only vaguely remembers silica and the large amount of silica sand used in making glass. Other than that, she doesn't know the detailed material ratio and production process.
Now that she unexpectedly thought of this, Qingyan didn't want to give up easily.
If there was a chance, she would like Ama to hire some craftsmen who make glazed products privately to study it carefully. Maybe by mixing some sand or other substances into some steps, she could accidentally make them in advance.
Glass was made.
Now that the imperial court is short of money, it would be a real achievement if Amma could really make glass!
With this thought in mind, Qingyan wanted to find a chance to meet Ama and E Niang immediately.
