The Sea Cliff Scholars let out a sigh of relief when they heard the bell.
Although it was two rings less than Fang Yun's, Jing Lan was also promoted to Grand Scholar. They were only two realms away. As long as they worked together, they could easily catch up.
Moreover, in their opinion, Fang Yun was just a spurt of energy and might not be able to last forever. However, Jing Lan was a Fourth Realm Scholar of the School of Gongzi. He could continuously improve and recover his Grand Scholar strength faster than Fang Yun.
Thinking of this, the scholars looked at Fang Yun with a smile.
One of them said, "Fang Yun, you won two rings in this tool and mechanism competition. However, you still can't become a Grand Scholar and can't widen the gap with brother Jing Lan. It won't be long before you are surpassed by Jing Lan."
"If you still don't give up, we will use more forceful means."
"I advise you to stop while you are ahead in this tool and mechanism competition. Give up on the technical competition and the combat mechanism competition. Otherwise, don't blame us."
Some of the scholars stared at Fang Yun, hoping that Fang Yun would admit defeat.
Fang Yun said coldly, "Forceful means? It seems that I am still too soft-hearted. I thought that I could beat you with the new spinning machine and make you back off. Who knew that my kindness would make you want a mile after taking an inch. You used Ning An's technology to harm me again. Then, I can only take out the mechanism that will be used in next month's Divine Craftsmen Conference in advance. "
After Fang Yun finished, he cupped his hands and said to the examiner, "Reporting to the examiner, I am also studying the hydraulic mechanism. However, my talent is limited, the tools are limited, and the materials are limited. So far, I have only made half of it. According to the rules, as long as you can make the new mechanism before sunset, you can still participate in the competition. So, I want to make it on the spot. I wonder if the examiner will allow it? "
One of the examiners said, "It is very common to make the mechanism on the spot. However, you have to think clearly. Even if you spend energy to make the new mechanism, if the sound is not as good as before, it will be a waste of energy. What's more, you don't have enough materials. How are you going to make it? "
Fang Yun cupped his hands towards all the scholars present and said, "I am Fang Yun. Today, I would like to borrow some materials. No matter who is willing to lend a helping hand, you can share part of the new mechanism's technology. If you provide a lot of materials, I can even name the new mechanism after you."
The venue quieted down. Everyone was hesitating. Not to mention whether this was in accordance with the rules, just the fact that helping Fang Yun would inevitably offend Jing Lan and the others was a big problem.
After a short while, Zhao Qianzhang, the chief examiner, said loudly, "The Union of Divine Craftsmen exists to improve the skills of our craftsmen, not to fight for fame and fortune. Since the participants had the confidence to create a new mechanism, regardless of success or failure, they should be acknowledged. Fang Yun, the Old Man has provided all the materials you need, and he also allows you to use the Old Man's Lu Ban Ruler. However, making and assembling are different. The mechanism made by the Lu Ban Ruler will surpass you in all aspects. Therefore, the bell of the new mechanism should be reduced by one ring. Does anyone have any objections? "
The rest of the examiners began to discuss and finally reached an agreement. Fang Yun could use Zhao Qianzhang's Lu Ban Ruler, but if it was made, the bell would be reduced by one ring if it exceeded the previous spinning machine. If it did not exceed the previous spinning machine, the final score would be calculated according to the previous score.
However, a great scholar beside Jing Lan said loudly, "I am Jing Xiao. I object to Fang Yun using the Lu Ban Ruler. This will break the rules! If from now on, everyone deliberately only brings semi-finished products and borrows the examiner's Lu Ban Ruler, won't the Union of Divine Craftsmen become chaotic? "
When everyone heard this, they felt that it was quite reasonable.
Zhao Qianzhang said, "You are right. In order to prevent abuse of the Lu Ban Ruler, the Old Man added a condition. That is, if you want to borrow the Lu Ban Ruler, the main bell cannot ring less than four times. If the main bell rings less than four times, you will be disqualified. Jing Xiao, are you convinced?"
Four rings of the main bell and one more ring was equivalent to Jing Lan's previous final score. It was a very high standard.
Jing Xiao was not convinced, but he did not dare to continue to object.
At this time, an examiner sneered, "If you are still not convinced, you can compete with Fang Yun for the sound of the bell."
Jing Xiao's expression changed slightly. He knew that he was not as good as Fang Yun, so he remained silent.
The great scholar of Sea Cliff who was present also did not look good. Fang Yun was destined to be the first in the tool and mechanism competition. If they competed with him for the sound of the bell, it was tantamount to suicide.
Jing Xiao did not speak. Jing Lan said loudly, "I agree with this restriction, but I don't know if Fang Xusheng agrees?"
"Since Mr. Qianzhang has spoken, this student will naturally agree." Fang Yun said.
"Good!" Zhao Qianzhang said and let his Lu Ban Ruler carry a mechanism bag to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun originally only wanted to make a new type of water-powered spinning machine, and he had already made a certain number of components. Seeing the Lu Ban Ruler, he thought of something and said, "The new mechanism that I am making is not a single component, but a set. It is a set of water-powered spinning and weaving mechanisms."
After spinning, it was weaving. Weaving was far more complicated than spinning, because different yarns were needed to form a strong cloth surface.
Even in the Saint Origin world, the efficiency of weaving was not high.
Hearing Fang Yun's words, the great scholars of Sea Cliff were half happy and half worried. They were happy because the weaving mechanism was difficult to break through, but it was also difficult to surpass Jing Lan's spinning mechanism. The possibility of Fang Yun's failure was very high. However, if Fang Yun was able to successfully create it, it was very likely that he would receive even more bell chimes.
At this time, a large number of craftsmen from Book City poured into the competition venue.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Fang Yun used the Lu Ban Ruler floating in front of him to quickly make the components of the new mechanism.
The Lu Ban Ruler was like a history book, it was very powerful. As long as Fang Yun thought about it, the Lu Ban Ruler would be able to make the wood into any shape he wanted. It was far more perfect than any craftsmen's handiwork.
Without the Lu Ban Ruler, Fang Yun was not considered a craftsman, and he would have to experiment while making the two mechanisms. It would take him at least a month to make these two mechanisms. But now, time and skill were not a problem.
Thus, a large number of mechanism components appeared on the platform one after another. Everyone could see that Fang Yun's mechanism was far bigger than Jing Lan's.
In the end, the great scholars of Sea Cliff Ancient Land panicked. Just by looking at the size of the components, it was at least five times bigger than Jing Lan's mechanism.
Four hours later, Fang Yun used the Lu Ban Ruler for the last time and started to assemble the two mechanisms.
After the Jenny Spinning Machine, someone used the Jenny Spinning Machine as a foundation to invent a new type of water-powered spinning machine. The Jenny Spinning Machine's characteristic was that it was fine but not sturdy, while the water-powered spinning machine's characteristic was sturdy but not fine.
Thus, a man named Crompton was born. He combined the advantages of the two spinning machines and invented the mule machine. He took the idea that a mule made from a horse and a donkey would have the advantages of both machines. It was still a water-powered spinning machine, but it was far superior to any previous spinning machine.
Therefore, before the second weaving machine was completed, the newly erected spinning mule machine had already shocked everyone.
Jing Lan's old water-powered spinning machine only had a hundred spindles. But Fang Yun's water-powered mule machine had a thousand spindles!
Everyone could see that this level of quantitative change was based on the quality of the technology.
While everyone was still shocked by the thousand spindles of the water-powered mule machine, the second weaving machine was completed.
This was the first time the water-powered flying shuttle machine appeared in the world of craftsmen. Just like the Jenny Spinning Machine and the mule machine, it had never appeared in Saint Origin World.
In front of Fang Yun's two mechanisms, Jing Lan's modified water-powered spinning machine was like a rotten apple in front of a freshly ripened watermelon.
The great scholar of Sea Cliff Ancient Land suddenly understood why Fang Yun said he was benevolent.
The appearance of this mechanism was completely bullying a fourth realm great scholar. Not to mention that Jing Lan's strength was limited, even if he became a scholar, he would not be able to create this mechanism.
Fang Yun's methods were becoming more and more ruthless!
Jing Lan's face was ashen.
