Coupled with what he said just now, and the way the old carpenter looked at Ling Rui, Huang Lei was sure that this old man was definitely not an ordinary carpenter.

"Master, can you tell us about the mortise and tenon structures?" Huang Lei smiled and said.

Chapter 385 383. Then I'll Sleep Until Dinner!

The old man glanced at Huang Lei, showed a smiling face, then thought for a while, and said, "mortise and tenon joints are the crystallization of wisdom of ancient Chinese craftsmen."

"The protruding part is called tenon, also called tenon head, and the concave part is called mortise, also called tenon or tenon."

"It originated in the Hemudu era about 7000 years ago."

"It can be roughly divided into three types."

"One type is mainly the connection of surfaces, or the combination of two sides, or the junction and combination of surfaces, and the other is a point-based structure method. It is mainly used for the combination of horizontal and vertical materials, forming Corner joints, cross joints, and extended joints of straight and curved materials, as well as a construction method that combines three components and connects them with each other."

"However, the mortise and tenon structure has relatively high requirements for wood."

"If it is wood such as plywood, it is difficult to use it as a material for the mortise and tenon structure, because it is easy to crack."

Listening to what the old man said, Ling Rui also nodded, "Yes."

"But also because of this, the mortise and tenon joints of the log structure are extremely earthquake-resistant. Experts from the Forbidden City and an American carpenter reproduced a model of the Forbidden City at a ratio of 1:5, and conducted an earthquake simulation test. When the magnitude reached 9.5 At this time, although the model shakes, it still stands upright."

"So, over the past 600 years, the Forbidden City has experienced more than 200 earthquakes and still remains intact."

"Sure enough!"

"I see."

"Oh, amazing!"

"But, why is the mortise and tenon structure of logs more resistant to earthquakes?" Wang Zulan looked at the old man curiously.

"It also has something to do with which kind of structure." The old man smiled, and then looked at Ling Rui, "Why don't you ask this little brother?"

Ling Rui raised his eyes, not knowing what the master was playing with, so he said, "Dougong can evenly distribute the weight of the eaves on each beam and column, which can make the house balanced and stable, and the earthquake resistance will naturally improve."

At this time, Ling Rui also put down the tools in his hand, assembled another set of Luban locks, and handed them to Peng Peng.

Peng Peng took it, looked up, down, left, and right, "Brother Rui, is this the same as the previous one?"

"Yeah." Ling Rui nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"But... how do you disassemble this?" Peng Peng was helpless, because Ling Rui said that he could not check it online, so for now, the people present have not been able to unravel it.

"Isn't this a question for you?" Ling Rui asked back, "There are several models now, try it yourself, come on, we believe you can do it."

Peng Peng: ...I'm in such a difficult situation.

……

"Hahaha!"

"Poor Pumbaa."

"It's actually very simple! It's a pity they can't see us talking!"

……

Ling Rui smiled and continued with his work. Carpentry is magical.In other words, some hands-on skills are magical and give people a strong sense of accomplishment.

"Remove this, trust me!" Chi Chi said to Peng Peng.

Peng Peng rolled his eyes, "I believe in you."

The three girls each took one and started tearing it apart, but there was no progress.

The people next to him looked anxious.

"It's so difficult!" Xie Na was a little anxious, "I think... how could this be a child's toy?"

"It's not just a child's toy."

"It's really too difficult." The baby was also a little discouraged.

Zifeng continued to take it apart silently, and suddenly pulled out one of them, "I took it apart!"

Everyone looked at Zifeng, and sure enough, the Luban lock on Zifeng's side had been loosened.

"Sister...can you fight back?"

Zifeng: ...

"Why should I put it back together? I took it apart with great difficulty!" Zifeng glared at Peng Peng, wasting all his strength!

"It makes sense."

"Hahaha!"

Chi Chi looked at her "niece" and couldn't help but smile, sure enough, she was so cute no matter how she looked at it.

After more than an hour, Ling Rui stopped, because he had done many sets, and he also felt a little tired.

The others were also sweating on their foreheads.

"Take a break." Ling Rui said, "Take your time, don't worry."

"Come, come, drink some water." He Jiong brought out the freshly warmed milk, "Replenish your energy."

"I'm sleepy." Chi Chi yawned, took the milk, and said, they came here early in the morning, and they haven't had a nap yet.

"It's 03:30 now, everyone go to sleep for a while." Ling Rui thought for a while and said, "Especially girls."

"Why especially girls?" Wang Zulan looked in disbelief, "Shall we also have a beauty sleep?"

Ling Rui laughed, nodded, "Okay."

"Hey, I don't need to take a beauty sleep, I take a nap." Chi Chi said in disgust.

"Yeah, what the hell is beauty sleep?" Zheng Kai was also helpless.

"Zulan, ignore them, let's go, let's go to a beauty sleep!" the baby laughed and said.

"Let's go!"

"Dinner." Deng Chao thought for a while and said, "Do you need our help?"

Ling Rui thought for a while, "It shouldn't be necessary."
