Everyone present either took out the Lu Ban Ruler or focused their Talent Qi in their eyes, carefully observing every part of the new spinning machine.
Everyone came to the same conclusion. This spinning machine did not contain any other power. It was just an ordinary mechanism. Fang Yun did not use his Talent Qi to control it.
Finally, they stared blankly as the endless stream of cotton turned into fine yarn and twisted into a ball.
Forty spindles operated at the same time. Its efficiency far exceeded that of any spinning tool present. Only the large water-powered spinning wheel could compare, but not by much.
Looking at the spinning machine continuously producing forty yarn, all the craftsmen felt that something in their hearts was broken.
Compared to this spinning machine, all the spinning wheels before, be it hand-cranked or pedaled, were simply rubbish.
The scholars of the sea cliff were stunned. Their minds were blank.
They were good at scheming and were very experienced. Just a few days ago, they racked their brains to come up with various plans. As long as Jing Lan succeeded in suppressing Fang Yun, they would use all their means.
But now, they could only hold back most of their plans.
Even though most of the scholars of the sea cliff were not craftsmen, they could clearly see that the spinning machine in front of Fang Yun was definitely an epoch-making product of the human race. It would definitely lead to a huge change in the industry.
Clang!
A clear and crisp sound woke everyone up. The mechanical bell beneath Fang Yun's feet had rung.
Then, the ringing of the bell sounded like a storm.
Clang clang clang clang clang …
Not only were the three examiners using their power to ring the bell, all the other examiners, including the chief examiner Zhao Qianzhang, were channeling power into Fang Yun's mechanical bell.
The mechanical bell under Fang Yun's feet had not stopped ringing since the second time!
Because the examiners had channeled too much power into it, it was enough to make the bell ring for three days and three nights!
Just as the small mechanical bell kept ringing, the large bell of the workshop chimed just as everyone had expected.
Then, everyone pricked up their ears and looked in the direction of the Divine Craftsmen's Hall in the north of Shu City. They quietly waited for the sound of the main bell of the Divine Craftsmen's Hall.
Not long after, an earth-shattering sound of the bell rang and spread throughout the entire craftsmen's world.
Then, the bell rang again.
Three rings, four rings.
The main bell rang four times. Every time the bell rang, it meant that he had been promoted five times. He had already surpassed Jing Lan.
Everyone looked at Fang Yun enviously. This meant that Fang Yun could be promoted from a Scholar to a new Grand Scholar in a short time!
However, many people did not give up listening because if the main bell rang again, Fang Yun would become a Grand Scholar of the First Plane.
Clang!
Clang!
The main bell rang six times, shaking the world.
The record held by Zhao Qianzhang was broken by Jing Lan, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, it was broken by Fang Yun.
The mechanical bell beneath Fang Yun's feet was still ringing.
After a few breaths, tsunami-like cheers rang out.
One by one, they looked at Fang Yun excitedly. Many pairs of fervent eyes stared at Fang Yun. None of them could hide the excitement in their hearts.
Jing Lan stood rooted to the ground with a blank look in his eyes. He had actually been completely ignored by everyone.
Half a hero.
A dark cloud flashed through Jing Lan's eyes. However, he took a deep breath and dispelled the shadow in his eyes. He cupped his hands towards Fang Yun and said, "Congratulations, Fang Yun. The new spinning machine you created will bring a huge revolution to the entire human race's textile industry. I admire you!"
A few sea cliff scholars were very unwilling, but they had no choice but to reveal expressions of admiration. However, even more of them were gnashing their teeth.
One of them said, "Brother Jing Lan, since things have exceeded our expectations, let's use our backup plan. Although the bell might not be able to beat him, its value should not be lower than his. At least, we can slowly catch up and not be completely suppressed by him."
Jing Lan nodded and cupped his hands towards the three examiners who had already revealed themselves. "I am Jing Lan. I would like to show you the second mechanism. However, this thing is too big. It is a hydraulic mechanism and needs to be used to draw water into a river. "
One of the examiners said, "In the tool and mechanism competition, multiple mechanisms are allowed. However, in the end, only the highest one can be used. I believe you understand. Please wait a moment. "
Thus, the examiner walked towards Zhao Qianzhang and whispered to him.
After several breaths, Zhao Qianzhang nodded and saw the examination platform slowly split in two, revealing a large passage.
Then, surging water flowed out from the passage like a short river. At the end was a well that absorbed all of the river water.
The examiner returned to the platform and said, "You can modify the mechanism on the spot to adapt to this river water."
"Thank you, examiner!"
After saying this, Jing Lan calmly walked to the riverside and took out a large number of mechanism parts from the seashell.
Jing Lan was just about to assemble them manually when Zhao Qianzhang casually tossed a glowing luban ruler in front of Jing Lan and said, "In order to save time, I grant you the power of the luban ruler. As long as you control it with your mind, the luban ruler will help you assemble the mechanism. Apart from saving time, the luban ruler will not display any other functions. I hope everyone is aware of this. "
The examiner originally had the power to slightly change the rules. Moreover, the craftsmen present also wanted to see the new mechanism as soon as possible. No one objected.
Jing Lan was overjoyed and thanked Zhao Qianzhang. He connected his divine sense to the luban ruler and saw all of the mechanism parts slowly floating. He was originally a great scholar and had his own luban ruler. It was just that he could not use it now.
Then, he only used his divine sense to assemble all of the parts together to form a huge hydraulic spinning wheel.
Fang Yun's expression did not change. Just like the previous spinning machine, this hydraulic spinning wheel also used Ning An's technology. Its details were also far superior to the finished products of ordinary workshops.
The human race had always been researching hydraulic spinning wheels. However, due to technical reasons, there were not many breakthroughs. Ordinary hydraulic spinning wheels usually had at most fifty to sixty spindles and required many people to operate them. The actual efficiency was lower than the Jenny machine.
However, Ning An's technology made up for the shortcomings of the hydraulic spinning wheel, increasing the spindle count of the hydraulic spinning wheel to more than a hundred.
Overall, the hydraulic spinning wheel's technical level was not as good as the Jenny machine. However, it could still spin more yarn at the same time than the Jenny machine. It was especially suitable for large workshops.
After assembling the hydraulic spinning wheel, Jing Lan selected a few great scholars from the sea cliff to operate it together.
This hydraulic spinning wheel did not have a qualitative leap for the craftsmen, but it had a quantitative leap. Therefore, many craftsmen were amazed.
"Today, there are really many talents. There is hope for the revival of our craftsmen."
"The standard of these two scholars is actually far superior to us. It is really a shame."
"The two of them really have their own merits. If I were an examiner, I would not be able to judge."
Amidst the discussion of the crowd, the examiners also whispered.
In the end, except for the three examiners, the rest of the examiners did not move.
This was because all of the examiners understood the difference between quality and quantity.
After waiting for a while, the crowd did not hear the mechanical bell beside Jing Lan ring. However, they quickly realized.
Fang Yun's mechanical bell was still ringing, completely suppressing Jing Lan's bell!
Not long after, the big bell of the workshop rang. Then, the main bell of the Divine Craftsmen Hall rang.
