In the past, Fang Yun had only read books about the Gong Family, so he didn't know much about their actual development. But as he learned more about the workings of the workshops and learned from the workers, Fang Yun realized that the Gong Family's technology was far more advanced than he had imagined.
Saint Origin World wasn't like Ancient Huaxia. Ancient Huaxia had always had craftsmen, but they weren't valued and their status was very low. The only reason why some techniques could be recorded in books was because of the knowledge of the officials.
Saint Origin World was different. The Gong Family was based on the Luban Family and the Mozi Family. It was one of the strongest families under the Confucian Family. Even the Mozi Family recognized it as a part of the Gong Family.
If an outstanding Gong Family scholar wanted to make money, he could work with others to open a workshop. If he wanted to become an official, he could be the Minister of Works or even a Minister. If he wanted to walk on the Saint Path, he could become a Saint. The number of Half-saint in the Gong Family was not small.
It was because the scholars in the Gong Family had a way to get promoted that they had a higher status and the motivation to develop all kinds of technology.
However, the Gong Family wasn't omnipotent. Many years ago, what restricted the Gong Family's power was not the mechanism technology, but the power of the mechanisms. The Gong Family had found a lot of energy sources, but they couldn't meet their requirements. Normal mechanisms could be used in battles, but they were too heavy and inefficient.
Therefore, after many years of hard work, the Gong Family finally solved the technical problem related to moonstones, making moonstones into powerful mechanisms.
Normal moonstones were consumables that could be mined in the ancient lands, the moon and the Monster Realm. They were very rare in Saint Origin World, so they were all mined out. High grade moonstones could absorb moonlight, and they would only lose their effectiveness after a long time.
As for the best moonstones, the Divine Moon Stone, it was a top grade divine item that could be used as a power source without any modification. Normal moonstones were already used in mechanisms before they were developed, but there were too few of them.
Half-saint mechanisms couldn't be activated without the Divine Moon Stone. Mechanisms powered by the Divine Moon Stone would develop intelligence and become stronger as time passed. Their body strength would not be weaker than a normal Half-saint of the Monster Race.
According to the legends, the Mozi Family Saint Hall and Zhang Heng's Celestial Seismograph were powered by the Divine Moon Stone.
In the past few years, the Human Clan had been studying the Moon Stones to increase their efficiency. After they had studied the Moon Stones to the extreme, they had started to study the Mechanism Technique.
In the first few days, Fang Yun did not show any of what he had learned. Instead, he studied the Gongjia's skills further and discovered many problems. Some of Ancient Huaxia's knowledge was not applicable here, and some of it was especially important but had not been discovered.
After many days of study, Fang Yun finally understood the whole set of techniques related to textiles and understood the direction of improvement.
Fang Yun couldn't bring out technology that was too advanced, so he summarized the knowledge and experience of the Gongzi School, and then came to a conclusion that was slightly ahead of this era. Although the process wasn't rigorous, Fang Yun knew that the result was correct, and that was enough.
After that, Fang Yun began to carry out a partial but crucial transformation of the textile machinery. However, he only had knowledge but not enough practical ability. Fang Yun first proposed the theory and improvement plan, and then the old workers in the workshop and Zhang Heng's family would discuss it. After confirming that there would not be any major problems, they would work together to complete the transformation.
The Gongzi School seemed to be cooperative on the surface, but deep down, they hated Fang Yun, who was not a Gongzi School member, to participate in the sacred Mechanism Technique in their hearts.
Since ancient times, the Gongzi School had an incomprehensible pride!
In the Gongzi School's eyes, the world's thinking might be led by other people, but the world's progress was led by the Gongzi School.
As the Gongzi School grew stronger and stronger, the Mechanism Technique's damage to the Barbarians and Monsters in the Two World Mountain kept increasing. Some people even calculated that the Gongzi School's role in defending the city was only second to the Military School.
Especially in the middle and low level battles, the Gongzi School played a huge role in the Two World Mountain. However, because the Gongzi School's development time was too short, they were somewhat powerless in the high level battles. However, the Gongzi School believed that they would be able to solve this problem in the near future.
During the process of cooperation, the two sides had some friction, especially an old student named Liu Yu, who had the most intense reaction.
This Liu Yu was only a student of the Gongzi School. His position was not high, but he was the most respected senior in the County Yamen. His Mechanism Technique was very good.
However, this kind of person did not have much real power. In terms of rank, he was not even at the ninth rank. His rank was the same as a small official. Fang Yun did not know how to confirm his identity, so he could only think of this Liu Yu as the Chief Engineer of the County Yamen.
Old Student Liu Yu was very serious, but he was only concerned about the matter and not the person. No matter if it was in person or in private, he had never criticized Fang Yun, but he was extremely picky about mechanism techniques. Many times, he needed Fang Yun to clearly explain the principles and examples before he was allowed to improve.
However, Liu Yu's Mechanism Technique made Fang Yun speechless. It was his existence that made the improvement speed of the Mechanism Technique.
Fang Yun sensed the emotions of these Gongzi School members, but he did not say anything. On the 16th of February, they started to improve the Ginning Mechanism.
The cotton that was just picked was called "Seed Cotton". As the name implied, it was cotton with seeds. The Ginning Mechanism was to remove the seeds from the Seed Cotton to form the lint.
In Saint Origin World, the main focus was on the research of combat mechanisms. This kind of basic mechanism was not paid much attention, which led to the low efficiency of the Textile Mechanism Technique.
However, even if they did not pay much attention to it, the Gongzi School still had their wisdom. Therefore, in Saint Origin World, there was already the "Wooden Roller Ginning Machine", which was only available in the eighteenth century. Its efficiency was much higher than the original ginning machine.
However, in Fang Yun's eyes, the Wooden Roller Ginning Machine was very backward. Therefore, he did not hesitate to improve it. He directly installed the more advanced "Leather Roller Ginning Machine". Just last night, the Gongzi School members had finished improving it.
After finishing the work last night, the stubborn old man Liu Yu said in front of everyone that before the exam in March, he would definitely bring his grandson to Fang Yun's door and kowtow to him. However, he would definitely not approve of the new Ginning Machine.
There was no other reason. This was not an improvement by the Gongzi School, so there must be a problem!
After Fang Yun knew about it, he just laughed it off.
On the 20th of February, it was time to inspect the new Ginning Machine.
The carriage stopped in front of the Ginning Workshop. Without waiting for Fang Yun to get up, Ao Huang jumped out of the carriage and angrily said, "Stubborn old man, your Brother Long is here! Today, I will let you know what it means to be called Fang Quan Quan! "
Fang Yun could not help but laugh. Ever since they started improving the Ginning Machine, Ao Huang and Liu Yu had been arguing every day.
Fang Yun got out of the carriage and saw an old man wearing light blue clothes holding a Lu Ban Ruler walking out. This old man's clothes were stained, his hair and beard were messy, and his eyes were bloodshot. If one did not look carefully, they would have thought that he was an old beggar.
The stubborn old man Liu Yu stared at Ao Huang and straightened his neck, "Stop talking nonsense! You Dragons are good at calling the wind and summoning the rain, but you are nothing when it comes to mechanisms! Don't you dare act like a fox and throw away Fang Xusheng's face! "
"Damn old man, just you wait! If today's Wooden Roller Ginning Machine is better than yours, this dragon will use new cotton to stuff your mouth, so that you won't be able to keep your mouth shut! "Ao Huang said.
"It's the Leather Roller Ginning Machine!" Liu Yu disdainfully glanced at Ao Huang.
