The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 36 is over. Is Modou more capable than me?!
Shen Le also smiled. His vision brightened as he smiled, and he returned to the present from the difficult years of the last century. The smile on his lips did not fade:
It is really a joy to see the couple supporting each other and working hard to overcome difficulties.

It would be nice if he could meet a girl like this someday...

Unfortunately, he didn't have a girlfriend. Shen Le was a homebody who seldom went out, so naturally he couldn't meet any girls. The senior and junior sisters he met at school?
Ever since he gave up on taking the civil service exam and came to this small town to work, everyone has basically gone their separate ways.

Speaking of senior sister, why hasn’t she come yet to do the modeling that she promised to do?
Thinking of this, Shen Le went online and sent emojis, greetings, and animated pictures of him rolling and kowtowing to his senior sister. After a while, there was a ding-dong sound in the dialog box, and the senior sister sent a reply:

"Done, collect it!"

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Shen Le turned on the computer and received a huge CAD file.

How to position, how big the circle should be, where to insert the knife, how deep to insert the knife, how long the blade of the knife head is. The detailed instructions for each operation are still vivid in my mind.

It can be said that if Shen Le is good at operating CNC machine tools, he can work like a tiger with this document and turn out a ghost ball.

——Of course, the sphere inside can only be a plain light sphere. If you want to carve patterns or something, you have to be patient and do it one step at a time.

"But I don't have a CNC machine tool..." Shen Le thanked his senior sister and sighed:
"Forget it, let's just do it manually and take our time..."

He took out the bag of solid wooden balls he had just bought, randomly picked one out, and began to draw positioning lines according to the CAD file. First, he randomly determined the origin, and then... and then...

Then, we should find the corresponding dot, draw longitude and latitude lines, and then draw circles based on the longitude and latitude lines?

So who can tell me that now that the South Pole has been found, how can we find the North Pole without CNC machine tools, laser positioning, or even machine tools?
Shen Le searched the Internet for information, searched for information, and searched for information. Great, I got it! There is a thing called a temari ball. The method is to poke a needle at the South Pole, then use a tape measure to slowly measure, find the largest length of the tape measure, and draw a line;

Change direction again, use a tape measure to slowly measure and draw a line. The intersection of the two lines is the North Pole.

Shen Le breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the wooden ball. He looked left and right and smiled bitterly:
The wooden ball is at least made of wood, not cork, and certainly not foam. He couldn't poke it with a needle...

Do I need to drill a hole in it with an electric drill?

Although this area will be cut off in the future...but, this job is too rough...

He picked up a piece of tape measure and measured it on the wooden ball, again and again, sighing:

"How do I use this thing? How do I determine its north and south poles? Is there anyone who can help me..."

"Boom!"

There was a dull thud. Shen Le leaned back and barely avoided the black shadow in front of him, not getting hit. Turning his head again, he saw a piece of silk thread flying out of the inkstone, carrying a heavy lead weight, passing in front of him and landing on the other end of the workbench.

"…Why did you fly out here? What, do you think you can do it?!"

The ink fountain didn't speak, of course, it couldn't speak either, but it started to move. The lead weight was swung up again, and the silk thread curved into an arc and went around the wooden ball in Shen Le's hand.

...What is this action?
Are you a mighty and majestic man who leashes horses?

Shen Le simply put the wooden ball down and watched its movements. After the silk thread pulled the wooden ball over, it stretched on the edge of the workbench for a while, and the lead weight jumped high, turning 360 degrees in the air, 720 degrees, and vertically downward, splashing water -

No, it went straight down, the hard end pierced into the wooden ball, and then turned the wooden ball over and stood straight up. Then, the silk thread bent over and stuck to the point where the end of the lead weight pierced into the wooden ball, and loosely wrapped around the wooden ball. Slightly adjust it to the left, then to the right, move it back and forth a few times, tighten and loosen it in a flash. Change direction again, move, adjust, tighten——

When it was finally released, the two lines perfectly divided the wooden ball into two halves from two angles. The point where the other ends intersected and the point where the lead pendant pierced the wooden ball, Shen Le estimated, should be exactly the north and south poles of the sphere...

Shen Le was stunned. What level was this? Why could an ink fountain be more skillful than him in dividing and positioning the wooden ball?

It would take him more than ten minutes to slowly adjust it, and his hands would be covered in ink before he could complete it!
However, after the inkstone had set the north and south poles of the sphere, it fell to the side with a "thump". The top of the lead weight was poking at the wooden ball, and a circle of silk thread lay beside the wooden ball, motionless, pretending to be dead. Shen Le leaned over, poked the inkstone, and pulled the ink thread:

"……Hey?"

No movement.

Whether it is the ink fountain, the lead weight, or the ink line, they all stay quiet and pretend to be a dead object.

Shen Le stretched out his finger and pushed the lead weight, causing it to roll half a circle to the side along with the wooden ball. He stopped and the lead weight shook twice by inertia, but still did not move.

"It's all used up? No way? - Or, you don't know what to do next? Come on, take a look..."

Shen Le picked up the lead weight and moved closer to the computer screen. He thought, what if the ink fountain is looking through the lion's eyes? He picked up the lead weight, but it couldn't see...

So Shen Le put down the lead weight, picked up the ink fountain, and moved the lion's head towards the screen.

After thinking about it again, for safety's sake, he picked up the lead weight again, wrapped it with a piece of silk thread, and placed it on the top of the lion's head:

"Come, look, our next task is this...

Divide the equator into five equal parts. On each meridian, draw two circles with the center of the circle located at ... and the radius of the circle is ...

After the drawing is completed, no matter from which side you look at the ghost ball, one round hole will be surrounded by five round holes..."

He pointed at the CAD file on the screen and explained to Mo Dou, bit by bit, which points should be marked on the wooden ball and how these points should be positioned.

Modou didn't move, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not. He was more desperate than a doctor facing an infant patient.

At least infant and young children will cry, blink, and grab your fingers. At the very least, you can measure their temperature, listen to their heartbeat, and their breathing.

The inkstone just stood there quietly, without any reaction.

Shen Le tried his best to practice his skills and opened his spiritual eyes to see and listen, but he could only see a cloud of mist covering the inkstone. There was no fluctuation at all, and no strange sound...

"Hey, do you understand?"

no response.

The mist was still. The ink line on the lead weight swayed a little, and Shen Le was a little happy. He looked carefully, but found that it was his breath that moved the ink line...
