It’s rare to find peace in Xianyang for a few days.
In addition to the construction of the library, a mysterious arsenal was also built on the outskirts of Xianyang.
Although there was no city wall protection, the defenses of this arsenal shocked the court officials.
Tower sentries, crossbows, and even various hidden weapons were deployed.
The most shocking thing is...even without these, it is impossible to enter this arsenal.
Because... the door of this arsenal, once you walk in, you can't get in at all, and you come out again before you know it!
Only some elderly courtiers knew that this thing was taken from the Fuxi Bagua diagram, which is fascinating to the mind.
When Liu Bai heard this conclusion, he almost laughed. This thing is clearly the maze of future generations!
And this maze is the proud work of the public loser!
Yes, Mo Shan found the public loser to cooperate!
No one knows how he settled his feud with the lord of Gongshujia's hometown, but when they both appeared at Prime Minister Liu Baike's house at the same time, one of them had their nostrils turned up in the sky, and their noses were filled with snot from happiness even at their age.
The other one had a scowl on his face.
"Husband loses, can your family really make a puppet based on wood?"
Liu Bai asked curiously.
He had heard this rumor many times: "Moji's organs are made of wood and stone; if bronze is opened, ask for public transportation."
If this is really possible, wouldn't it mean that we can control robot technology two thousand years in advance?
When he asked this question, Gong Shuqiu's original smile suddenly froze.
On the side, Mo Shan gloated: "Mr. Liu, this is a rumor spread by ignorant people outside! The so-called wooden man is actually a full-body armor made of wood made by his ancestors. No trace of the human body is missing. People can see him in action. .”
"They are public losers and they have a lot of face. When they heard that my Mo family is getting stronger, they kept insisting!"
"If you really take out this wooden man, Mr. Liu, you will laugh to death!"
When these words came out, Gongshu Chou became even more angry and flushed: "So what? My ancestors were dedicated to craftsmanship, and things like saws were all invented by my Gongshu family! It's not like your Mo family, which has been around for hundreds of years. People everywhere talk about loving each other without attacking, but they have forgotten the craftsmanship of our ancestors!"
"If nothing else, can you, Mo Shan, still make that big flying bird?"
Mo Shan's smile stopped abruptly. Although there was anger, there was still some shame in his eyes.
What Gongshu Qiu said is indeed reasonable. The Mo family had wasted too much before, but now it is simply the craftsman's turn, and it is really not as good as these old guys of Gongshu.
After Gong Shuqiu said these words, he also glanced at Liu Bai, with a slight hesitation in his eyes.
He regarded Liu Bai's previous question as contempt for them as public losers, and felt that they were not worthy of their reputation as public losers.
"Haha! Husband loses. Since I call you affectionately, I naturally regard you as one of my own!"
"I just asked you about it. I have no other intention. I just have something that I want you to help develop and see if there is any way."
Liu Bai laughed loudly, patted the back of Gong Shuqiu's hand, and said.
"What?"
Gong Shuqiu was slightly startled, and then there was some doubt in his eyes.
In the past, he had disdained the reputation of Prime Minister Liu. The so-called three-piece war horse suit was actually just a piece of cake. Although the intention was good, the craftsmanship was just that!
but...
After Gong Shuqiu visited the blast furnace in the cellar of the Mojia workshop, Gong Shuqiu's view of Liu Bai changed!
The blast furnace is almost disruptive to the blacksmith industry! Even many craftsman skills that could not be completed before can also be realized through the blast furnace!
"This thing...I call him a wooden cow and a flowing horse. It's similar to the wooden man that your father-in-law heard about before, that is, the wood can walk on its own."
Liu Bai thought for a moment and said.
He was actually not completely sure about this Wuhou artifact, but later generations had some guesses about it.
Now if I tell Gong Shuqiu about these conjectures, maybe I can figure them out?
"What?!!"
"Is it really possible to make a wooden man walk on his own?"
When Liu Bai said these words, Gong Shuqiu stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief!
wooden man,
This thing is very important to them! I don’t know how much manpower and material resources the family has invested in this!
The reason is very simple, just four words: the name does not match the reality!
The ancestors are too proud to talk about this matter, so they, the descendants, must work hard to do so!
but...
Many things cannot be achieved by hard work!
This creates a cycle.
The ancestors failed to do it, but the next generation wants to complete it.
If the next generation wants to complete it but fails to do so, then the next generation and the next generation will have to inherit their grandfather’s instructions and their father’s instructions, and even more, they have to complete it!
If things go on like this, the entire family of Gongshujia has put too much effort into this aspect.
This is why in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Gongshu family competed with the Mohist family. However, by the end of the Warring States Period, there were many Mohist disciples, but the Gongshu family was not as good as the Mohist family.
What a shame!
"Please make it clear to Mr. Liu! Regarding matters related to the wooden man's self, I, the loser, will definitely go all out!"
Gongshuqiu was so excited!
Even Mo Shan on the side said hesitantly: "Husband loses. Although Mr. Liu is talented and intelligent, he is not a craftsman after all. These things are all accurate."
"Don't do this either..."
However, before Mo Shan finished speaking, Gong Shuqiu snorted coldly: "Humph!"
"Mo Shan, what did my father-in-law say when you came that day?"
"You want to call me Mr. Gongshu! You, the whole Mo family, want to call me Mr. Gongshu Qiu Gongshu! Are you changing your tune now?"
After saying these words, Mo Shan's face felt more painful than constipation!
Yes,
No one would have thought that Gongshu agreed to work for Liu Bai and build an arsenal with the Mo family because of the words "Mr. Gongshu"!
The feud between two families is, in the final analysis, a matter of face. Mo Zhai and Gongshu Ban were just competing for offense and defense.
By the time his father-in-law Shuqiu was in his generation, he would be one step ahead of the Mo family, and that would be the end of his feud.
Craftsman... It's not a mortal enemy. In the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty, you can't kill people anyway, so you can just feel proud!
"Mr. Gongshu!"
Mo Shan held back his anger and shouted.
Gongshuqiu feels happy physically and mentally!
"Ha ha!"
"Husband loses, let's get back to the topic!"
When Liu Bai saw Mo Shan's ugly face, he naturally knew how much the words 'Mr. Gongshu' had done to Mo Shan, so he quickly laughed and changed the subject:
"Actually...this wooden cow and stray horse need one thing after all."
"May I ask Prime Minister Liu, what is it?"
"gear!"
Liu Bai smiled and said, "Come and take a look at this interesting work. After reading it, maybe if your husband loses, he can really realize his ancestors' ambitions."
"Long Qie, come out!"
Following Liu Bai's order, a figure entered the courtyard.
Gong Shuqiu and Mo Shan's eyes nearly popped out!
