Chapter 291 Unify Measurement System!
After Lin Ye drew the fine thread representing length for the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, he turned to look at them. Seeing that they all looked at him blankly, Lin Ye shook his head and spoke to them.
“Watch carefully. If you can’t learn this measurement system, you won’t be able to help with many things in the future.” As soon as Lin Ye said this, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls immediately became nervous.
“Measurement system? What is that?” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls looked at Lin Ye nervously. At this time, Shi spoke with doubt and asked Lin Ye. The other Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls nodded at Lin Ye. Ganyu was the most nervous among all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls.
Hearing that they wouldn’t be able to help Lin Ye anymore if they didn’t learn the measurement system, Ganyu instantly felt like the world wasn’t beautiful anymore.
Hearing Shi’s question, and seeing the reaction of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, a smile appeared on Lin Ye’s face. Lin Ye had grasped the thoughts of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls. These pure-hearted Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had the mindset of a bunch of elementary and junior high school students. Now that they didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, their most important thing was a sense of collective honor.
Every day when they helped the tribe or Lin Ye with work, they all rushed to do it. Now, hearing that they wouldn’t be able to help Lin Ye anymore if they didn’t learn the measurement system, they were all extremely nervous.
Lin Ye looked at the reactions of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke to them, “A measurement system consists of three things.” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls listened to Lin Ye’s words, and for a moment, they seemed unable to process so much information.
“Du, refers to things that represent length, just like the distance between you and me. If you want to measure it, you need to use Du.” “Liang, refers to how much a container can hold, like how much water a wooden bucket can hold, this is called Liang.” “Heng, refers to things that represent weight. If you want to know how much you weigh, you need to use Heng.”
“What I’m drawing on this stone slab is Du, each representing a different unit.” Shi’s Talent Ability was directly maximized, his eyes like light bulbs, surrounded by a large amount of white light. When the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls heard Lin Ye say that the black lines on the stone slab were Du, they all looked over.
At this time, Lin Ye continued, “Everyone must remember Du today. When we build houses tomorrow, it will definitely be used!” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls heard Lin Ye say this and became even more nervous. But Du could not be remembered just by looking. So the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls couldn’t help but ask Lin Ye, “Ye, how can we learn these black lines on the stone slab? Teach us quickly!”
“Yes, Ye, I look at these black lines, and as soon as I turn my head, I forget. How can I remember these black lines?” “We all want to help you build houses tomorrow, Ye, teach us!”
Listening to the voices of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, Lin Ye gently pressed down a few times. Seeing Lin Ye’s actions, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls slowly quieted down. Then Lin Ye smiled at these Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, nodded, and began to teach them.
However, before teaching, Lin Ye said to them, “This is not for you to remember in your heads, but to know how to use it.” “Later, everyone find some straight, thin branches and make rulers of the same length as the black lines on the stone slab to use for now. I will make real rulers for you in the future.”
When the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls heard Lin Ye say this, the nervous expression on their faces relaxed a lot. They exchanged glances, all sighing with relief. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had been trying to remember the appearance of these black lines just now. But as soon as they turned their heads, they would forget. Now that they heard Lin Ye say they didn’t need to remember them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he looked at the relieved expressions of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, coughed twice, and drew their attention back, continuing to lecture them. “Cough cough~!” “Listen carefully now, I will tell you what these black lines represent.” “First, this longest one is called a meter.”
“Meter~?!” After Lin Ye finished speaking, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all repeated it. Lin Ye turned to look at them with some surprise. When the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls listened in this way, Lin Ye really felt like a teacher. However, it was getting dark soon, so Lin Ye glanced at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls and then continued to point at the core on the stone slab and said to them, “This much shorter one is called a decimeter.”
“Decimeter~?!” “This shortest one is called a centimeter.” “Centimeter~?!” Lin Ye only drew these three units of length measurement. As for millimeters and the like, such precise measurements would not be needed for building houses tomorrow. Moreover, Lin Ye felt that there would generally not be a need to use millimeters in the future. Centimeters could already guarantee accuracy in most situations.
After explaining the three black lines on the stone slab to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, Lin Ye turned to look at them. He saw that after listening to him, they were all staring intently at the black lines on the stone slab. One by one, they were muttering to themselves, concentrating on remembering this thing. And there were only three things, and the differences were so obvious. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls soon memorized them all firmly.
At this time, Lin Ye saw that all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls revealed excited smiles, and they all began to communicate with each other. Lin Ye tapped the stone slab with his hand, and the gazes of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were all drawn back again. Seeing that all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were looking at him, Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, “Remembering these three units is just the most basic.” “After learning the subsequent parts, you will know how to use these units of length.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all looked at Lin Ye with piercing eyes. After remembering these three units of length, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had gained confidence in learning the measurement system. They were no longer as nervous as they were at first. Lin Ye looked at the appearance of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls and was a little surprised. He thought that after he said this, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls would become nervous again. But now, they all looked full of confidence. Looking at the appearance of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, a smile also appeared on Lin Ye’s face.
Then Lin Ye pointed at the unit representing meters on the stone slab and said to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls alone, “Remember this next. This is the most crucial part.” Lin Ye emphasized again to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls then looked at the stone slab more seriously.
“This is a meter, this is a decimeter. The length of one meter is exactly equal to the length of ten decimeters.” After saying this, Lin Ye looked at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls with some worry. This was something that, in his previous life, some students found difficult to learn in elementary school and needed constant reinforcement in daily life. These Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were hearing it for the first time today. Lin Ye was worried that they wouldn’t be able to understand it at all.
And the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were just as Lin Ye had guessed. Hearing that one meter was equal to ten decimeters, they all frowned and looked at the black lines on the stone slab with confusion. At this time, Sakura, holding her head, suddenly blurted out, “I can’t take it anymore, my brain is starting to heat up. I’ve never used my brain like this before.”
Hearing Sakura’s voice, Lin Ye looked over. He saw that Sakura’s eyes were spinning, and she was sitting on the ground holding her head. But she was still staring intently at the black lines on the stone slab.
