Bridges are mainly beam bridges and pontoon bridges, and most of them can only be built in areas where the terrain is flat and the river is not wide and the water flow is gentle. In fact, there is a legend about Wanlou City that only the Tang family knows, and no outsiders know about it."
Tang Tang was a bit torn here. She wanted to tell Li Luo. Most of the elders in the family had told her not to tell anyone. She was wavering between obeying the instructions of the elders in the family and telling Li Luo the truth. It was really difficult for her.
Seeing the painful look on her face, Li Luo couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's about the Tang family's secrets. It's okay not to tell them, or let's talk about the bridge..."
"No! This is not just a secret of the Tang family. Besides, besides... the prince is not an outsider." As he spoke, Tang Tang's face turned red. Li Luo's heart skipped a beat and he shuddered secretly. He might need it in the future.
You should be more careful, don't let Tang Tangfang make mistakes and waste your good years in vain.
Li Luo was thinking about it, but she didn't expect that Tang Tang misunderstood. She thought that Li Luo felt that he had deliberately concealed it, and felt unhappy. She almost burst into tears, and said with a slight cry: "I didn't mean it."
To hide it from you, they say that underneath the City of Ten Thousand Towers is actually a land of sky and water, and that the entire City of Ten Thousand Towers is floating on the water. It has been passed down orally from generation to generation of the Tang family that the City of Ten Thousand Towers is actually a huge ship."
"What!?" Li Luo was shocked. He looked up at Tang Tang who was full of tears. He was slightly startled. He felt that the beautiful pear blossoms were raining, and he felt that no shocking secret could be more than this. It could not match the tearful look of the pity, "You
Why are you crying? Don't cry, it's my fault, I have to force you to tell this secret." Li Luo stretched out his hand to touch the top of Tang Tang's head, but felt that this appearance was too ambiguous, and stopped his hand in mid-air, feeling a little restless for a moment.
He said hurriedly and firmly, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else this secret except you and me. Just treat it as, uh, a gentleman's agreement between you and me."
Tang Tang sniffed, opened his mouth slightly, and felt much more comfortable. He glanced sideways at the hand that was frozen in the air, reluctantly moved his head and rubbed it under Li Luo's hand for a few times. His pretty face was slightly ashamed, and he was worried.
She was slightly red, but she felt happy in her heart. Of course, Li Luo didn't know why she was sobbing and smiling. The girl's feelings, a secret that only belonged to two people, always made people think about it. If he knew how to say it casually,
If I ask Tang Tang to think so much, I'm afraid I'll have another headache.
But the secret Tang Tang told is really unbelievable. A city and a ship are so big. Can the ship float and move? If it can move, what kind of spectacular scene will it be. Li Luo
Lei Ran is fascinated, but he knows that he probably has no chance to see the Wanlou City rising up after being hit by the water. Besides, the adults of the Tang family may be deceiving the children, but it is better not to say this, in case they cry again.
Yes, it’s not easy to coax.
"Where were you talking about?"
"secret."
Tang Tang puffed up his cheeks and exclaimed: "Bridge!"
Li Luolang laughed: "Yes, bridge."
Tang Tang cleared his throat and continued: "After that, there are more complex bridges. The arch structure is mainly made of masonry structure, supplemented by iron and bronze wares, so that the bridge has additional features on the basis of the log beam bridge.
With the addition of new components such as stone pillars, stone beams, and stone bridge decks, the stone arch bridge came into being. The four basic bridge types of beam bridge, pontoon bridge, cable bridge and arch bridge have all been formed. Later, it should be considered five hundred years ago, there were many bridge styles in Wanlou City
Nowadays, open-shoulder stone arch bridges, stacked-beam wooden arch bridges, bridges with oyster-reinforced piers on raft-shaped foundations, bridges that combine stone beam bridges with opening and closing pontoon bridges, etc., are all competing for their beauty. If you want to talk about Qiqiao, they are probably all from that period.
Many of the bridges that remain famous in Wanlou City have inherited the wisdom of the predecessors at that time, expanded or repaired them. Now, in fact, original techniques are rarely seen, and they are not as good as before."
Seeing her happy words, Li Luo was surprised that Tang Tang was not just a pampered lady from an aristocratic family, but actually had a lot of insight into urban construction. On the other hand, he was embarrassed to ruin the atmosphere. In fact, she had already digressed from the topic for a long time.
Fortunately, Tang Tang still remembered what Li Luo asked. He glanced at the stone bridge under his feet, pursed his lips and said: "Whether it is a wooden bridge or a stone bridge, there are pile foundations, piers, body beams, etc. If you want to build a good bridge, just
Don't cut corners, no matter how big or small. When constructing, you must consider topography, geology, hydrology, wind, rain, snow, freezing, drainage, slope stability, material stress, environment, landscape, not dangerous, long-lasting and easy to repair. Putting aside the Feng Shui mentioned by Yin and Yang, building a bridge is not.
Building a road is much more complicated. Look at this one. The foundation is unstable, the length of the arc is wrong, and the terrain is forced here. It is still a half-length bridge. It would be fine if there is no other place to build the bridge, but this
There are many easier places to build bridges than here, but it always looks awkward, as if..." Tang Tang imitated Li Luo and touched the tip of his nose, not knowing how to describe it for a moment.
"For this bridge, a canal was deliberately built."
"Yes, yes, it's just so awkward." Tang Tang clapped his hands and shouted.
Li Luo took a deep breath, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he guessed something. He stood on the bridge, with ditches more than ten feet deep on his left and right. The color was black, and he didn't know that it was the sediment that settled after the sludge dried up.
The color is something else, such as the mark after the blood sacrifice, which is very dark and condensed into lumps.
Li Luo closed his eyes and slowly imagined what it would look like if there was no ditch here, but only this bridge. The stone square gradually grew larger in front of his eyes, until it filled his mind. If he looked at it from a high place, the stone towers and stone platforms,
The stone bridge, as well as the stone pillars closest to the square, form an extremely common pattern, the Big Dipper array.
The Big Dipper is divided into seven stars: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaking Light. Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji and Tianquan form the body of the bucket, which is called Kui in ancient times; Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang form the handle, which is called the handle in ancient times.
When the dipper points to the east, it is spring all over the world; when it points to the south, it is summer; when it points to the west, it is autumn; when it points to the north, it is winter. Compared with the Canglong Seven-constellation Star Chart I encountered in front of the Immortal Peak, the Beidou
The Seven Stars are more widely spread, and more people know about them. But the fact that many people know about them does not mean that the star map is simple. The first of the three maps in Caohai and Makino in Northern Xinjiang is the Big Dipper Star Map.
Because the Big Dipper is so common, the secrets hidden inside are more difficult to decipher. Tang Tang looked at Li Luo, who was in a daze, and wanted to ask him what he was thinking about, but was afraid of disturbing his thoughts and getting bored.
After a long time, Li Luo took a deep breath and shook his head.
