Chapter 69: Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (8) Mozi
’s disciples It was Ye Mo who first broke the deadlock. She stood up, walked to the mahogany box, picked up a wooden slip on the top layer, and handed it to one of Meng Sheng’s disciples.
“Mr. Meng, please.”
This wooden slip was just an appetizer.
And the content of the appetizer was what Ye Mo finally picked out from a pile of ideas - perfecting Mozi’s theorem.
Mozi’s definitions and theorems in physics and mathematics were combined with modern and ancient books, supplemented and perfected, and revised into a book, and marked her own understanding with different fonts. The back half of the bamboo slip also contains the sublimation of Mozi’s basic theorems and examples of common sense in life.
No other complicated new theorems were inserted. After all, she did not have time to continue to explore mathematical mechanics and mechanics in this world. When she left the copy, she could leave a few books behind.
I just don’t know if other people will still remember the survivors who disappeared in various ways.
Meng Sheng took the wooden slip with a puzzled look. He thought it would be a more common mechanism diagram. Unexpectedly, the first part of the geometric basic theorems and geometric diagrams attracted all his attention.
Within two minutes, he couldn’t help but exclaimed: "The founder Mo Juzi?!"
The first Juzi, Mozi, was undoubtedly the faith and idol of the Mo disciples to survive. They were a little scared when they heard this sentence, and they all looked up at the person who exclaimed.
But Meng Sheng was so absorbed in the contents of the bamboo slips that he paid no attention to the onlookers.
The Mo Sect disciples looked at Ye Mo again.
Ye Mo maintained the elegance of a noble lady, smiled at them, and waited quietly for the result.
The contents of the bamboo slips were not much, but the simple theorems could bring back many things. When Meng Sheng finished reading word by word and looked up, the Mo Sect disciples were already full of curiosity.
"Young lady, you are both talented and intelligent!"
Unlike the slightly polite appreciation before, Meng Sheng was excited at this time, and he said this sincerely. Since Mo Zi's death, they, the Mo Sect, have devoted themselves to the research of mechanical technology, and indeed have made some achievements, but compared to Mo Zi, they are really far behind.
Mi Wenjing in front of him was definitely the most talented person he had ever seen. Her ability to summarize, generalize and extend was better than his decades of research. Looking at the bamboo slips, every word was like a pearl, and he felt as if his eyes were opened at all times.
Ye Mo was really ashamed: "Sir, you are too kind. I am just summarizing the words of my predecessors. Master Mo is the first person who has never been seen before. I admire him from the bottom of my heart."
It was indeed true. To use the words of Newton, the father of physics, she was just standing on the shoulders of giants to look at the problem.
Meng Sheng: "Young lady, you are humble. Your talent in Mohism is far better than that of a fool!"
[Congratulations on completing side mission 1: Get the recognition of the current master, free point attribute +2]
"I dare not, I dare not."
Ye Mo lowered his eyes. The way to complete the mission in the second round of internal testing was really completely different from the first time.
The Mohist disciples were full of curiosity. Only
then did they have the opportunity to read the wooden slips. The Mohist disciples were also a group of people who loved mechanism science. They soon immersed themselves in it like the great man Meng Sheng, and kept praising it.
Wang Wu also understood at this time that Li Jing was just like what they had expected. She came to visit Meng Sheng not only for the spring recruitment. There were many things about the Mohist school that could make people think about it.
For example, the Mohist mechanism technique!
In fact, the agents considered this matter when they learned about Chuyang City. Among the 15 agents, the most suitable ones for this matter were Agents Wang Wu and Li Si. The former was knowledgeable, and the latter's family had always been the inheritor of the intangible cultural carpentry.
The first difficulty they encountered was the limitation of their identity.
Meng Sheng does not discriminate against serfs, but he will not recruit them. Even though most of the disciples of Mozi are from the lower classes, they are of clean origin, and he will not try to steal the support of Lord Yangcheng.
Secondly, they must learn to read and speak. It is not bad for Wang Wu, but for Li Si, learning classical Chinese is harder than climbing to the sky.
Now there is one more difficulty. If Wang Wu and Li Si want to join Mozi, they must pass Li Jing, which may conflict with Li Jing's goals and is not suitable for a new group that has just established a cooperative relationship.
Wang Wu frowned.
Ye Mo noticed Wang Wu's frown. If the elementary control technique made her sensitive to energy fluctuations, the intermediate control technique allowed her to keenly feel the emotional problems of living beings.
The mechanism of the Mohist school is like a cake. There are too many people who want to take a bite. Defense alone cannot stop it, and it will be distracting.
Strength is the hard truth!
...
The appetizer opened the situation.
Meng Sheng was naturally interested in the other bamboo slips main dishes.
Those finished plans also surprised him again and again. As for the semi-finished products and various questions, after solving two problems, he roughly understood what the main problem Ye Mo is facing now.
As long as this problem is solved, many problems will be solved.
"Young lady, are you interested in going with me? Take a look at this Mohist mechanism."
When Meng Sheng said this, his hand kept stroking his long beard, and there was a sense of confidence between his eyebrows. He was quite trusting and proud of the Mohist mechanism.
Ye Mo bowed and said: "I am honored."
The group moved outside the hall.
There are nearly 200 Mohist disciples in Chuyang City now. Less than 10 of them are mainly studying philosophy, politics, and strategy, and the remaining more than 100 are all studying Mohist mechanism, which is equivalent to researchers.
Because Mohist mechanism is much more complicated than Goblin craftsmen, Mohist disciples also have division of labor in the study of mechanism, such as woodworking, weapons, five elements array, pottery, etc., which is similar to professional division of labor.
First of all, Ye Mo witnessed the magical wooden mechanism in Jianshu with his own eyes. Some of them have been passed down for thousands of years, and more have disappeared in the long river of history. These crystals of wisdom are too exquisite!
In this process, you must always show your talent - talent in learning and talent in mechanism. You can
understand it at a glance, learn it once, and draw inferences from one example.
The disciples of the Mo Sect who were studying and making the secret box did not understand at first why the great master Meng Sheng personally brought a noble lady to their workplace. After all, this was their workplace.
Yang Chengjun had never been here, which might have something to do with his lack of interest in these things.
But when Ye Mo quickly explained the key points of some of the mechanisms, including the basic principles, and even drew inferences from one example and made suggestions, and these suggestions could also bring them inspiration.
The Mohist disciples understood and were not ashamed of their previous contempt for the young lady. They were wrong.
After looking at the basic wooden structure, and then browsing the sophisticated and complicated mechanisms, Ye Mo could hardly blurt out that the design of these non-metallic mechanisms was really no simpler than the mechanical drawings of modern equipment.
Moreover, the diversity of wood is really no less than that of various modern materials. The quality of the same kind of wood is also uneven. It is certain that wood will affect the quality of wooden products.
If she had not been familiar with the mechanical drawings she had drawn for decades, and had super mental power, super memory, and super spatial thinking ability, she really might not be able to keep up with their pace.
It was precisely because she kept up with the pace that Meng Sheng was surprised again. It seems that the young lady not only has a natural talent in Mohist theorems, but is also no weaker than the Mohist disciples in terms of mechanical structure!
Wang Wu has some knowledge of mechanical engineering, but he was completely confused less than ten minutes after entering here.
But when he saw Li Jing dismantle a semi-finished wooden ox and horse that can carry people and travel 20 miles a day in less than ten minutes, and assemble it in less than thirty minutes, which was so fast that it was unbelievable, he knew that he and Li Si had lost.
She and Li Si could not do this at all, and they were far behind Li Jing, maybe not even one percent.
It happened that a Mohist disciple was studying farm tools recently. He was very interested in the plow, and Wang Wu was obsessed with his spinning wheel, so he simply talked to the Mohist disciple about this ancient craftsman.
Maybe there will be other gains, and being able to understand a little about the mechanism, today's trip is not in vain.
Wang Wu's task was not to supervise Li Jing. On the contrary, Zhang San asked her to keep a distance from Li Jing, not to offend the other party, and to learn skills without the other party being offended.
...
Ye Mo asked: "Why can this wooden horse travel 20 miles a day? What is the power source?"
Meng Sheng pointed to the site of the wooden horse, where there was a formation, the legendary five elements formation.
"???"
Ye Mo was puzzled by the formation, but Meng Sheng did not answer immediately and took her to the non-wooden machinery area next door.
The metal weapons area was more in line with Ye Mo's expertise, but she found that she was still narrow-minded about the bronze products in this world.
Although this world allows civilians to open sword and knife shops, the real bronze technology is often in the hands of the ruling class or well-known organizations like the Mohist School.
Just the weapons, knives, swords, axes, hatchets, halberds, forks, guns, spears, shields, maces... There are so many kinds of weapons, beyond Ye Mo's expectations, and even combination weapons and legendary hidden weapons, such as needles hidden in sleeves.
It is worthy of being the mechanism of the Mohist School.
The only flaw is that the ore material does limit some things, and the quality of weapons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is indeed monotonous.
The material problem will be easier to talk about after the real thing is refined, but a lot of opinions can be put forward on the forging equipment, and Ye Mo's opinions once again surprised Meng Sheng.
He was a little numb with surprise.
Other disciples of Mozi Sect:
...So this is what a genius is like?
...
Ye Mo's question was not answered yet, and Mozi took her to a finished treasure warehouse next door.
Undoubtedly, these treasures in the warehouse all have attributes. When the survivors get them, as if they are higher than the three system equipment in their hands, the system panel will display the data.
Basic treasures often only add attributes such as agility, strength, and defense; upgraded treasures will also have supernatural tendencies, mainly gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are relatively weak.
Among them is a bronze battle axe, less than 40 cm long, with an unknown pattern engraved on the axe blade. Axe C is made of hardwood and looks like an ordinary axe.
But when Ye Mo picked up the sword, she found that the data (strength ⊕ 8, agility ⊕ 6) and attribute values were higher than the weapons she bought from the system with a lot of points. It was Meng Sheng's masterpiece.
In addition to the battle axe, there are also works of great masters of all generations. They are not necessarily weapons, but other mechanisms. Some of the mechanisms are inlaid with jade ornaments, while others are not.
Under the guidance of Meng Sheng, Ye Mo also personally tried the five designated treasures. The attributes of these treasures are very high. These treasures also have special effects, similar to constant temperature arrays and wind arrays.
It is indeed very magical.
As Ye Mo picked up the treasures one by one, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Meng Sheng and the Mo Men disciples present were very excited, much more excited than when they saw the bamboo slips of Mozi's theorem just now.
In this era, this is considered rude after all, but the Mo School disciples obviously couldn't control their emotions. They looked at Ye Mo as if he was a rare treasure.
Meng Sheng:
"Good!"
