"The second day!"
When the news of the opening of the Mo Family's Mechanical City was published on the front page of the new issue of Mo Magazine, the people of Chang 'an flocked to it.
To the people of Chang 'an, the Mo Family was the pride of Chang' an City. Every time the Mo Family came up with something new, it would never disappoint the people of Chang 'an City. Now that the legendary Mo Family's Mechanical City had appeared, it had aroused the curiosity of countless people in Chang' an City. One by one, they rushed over from all directions to see the legendary Mo Family's Mechanical City.
"This is the Mechanical City built by Mo Jiazi. It occupies such a large area!" When the people of Chang 'an arrived at the Mechanical City of the Mo Family, they were stunned by Meton's generosity. The first thing they saw was a large open space filled with green trees and flowers. There were also many empty spaces on both sides for horse carriages to park.
In a place like Chang 'an where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, Mo Jiazi's use of these pieces of land as decorations was extravagant.
"Prodigal! Mo Jiazi really lives up to his name. " Many people lamented. With so many pieces of land, it was a huge fortune. However, Mo Jiazi left them empty and used them only as decorations or to park horses. It was a waste.
"However, I like Mo Jiazi's generosity. Chang 'an is too crowded and there is no place to park horses. Especially the East and West Markets of Chang' an, they are even more congested and coveted by people from the Thousand Gates Sect. However, the Mechanical City of the Mo Family not only has enough space to park horses, but also has people to look after them. It is extremely convenient."
However, a citizen admired Mo Jiazi's prodigal behavior. There was no other reason other than the fact that there were too few parking spaces in Chang 'an.
"Artificial fountain!"
"Artificial rainbow."
Everyone parked their horses and carriages and arrived at the Mechanical City of the Mo Family. Finally, they encountered the first mechanism of the Mo Family. It was a man-made fountain. Streams of water shot directly from the ground into the air. When the force was exhausted, they turned into countless water droplets and mist that fell on the ground and onto the tourists.
However, as the sunlight shone on the mist, a curved rainbow lingered above the fountain, making people unable to help but be amazed.
Meton's artificial rainbow had been moved from the Ink Tech Exhibition and allowed it to last for a long time. This attracted everyone's attention and got off to a good start.
"If you want to see a rainbow in the future, you won't have to go to the Ink Skills Exhibition anymore." A young man sitting in a wheelchair in the crowd sighed as he saw the rainbow hanging in the sky.
Zu Mingjun looked at Li Yun, who was sitting on a chair, and said, "Brother Li is not feeling well. Why take the risk to come here personally?"
Li Yun shouldered the heavy responsibility of building the Wei River Bridge. If there was a mishap, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Yun shook his head indifferently and said, "The legendary Mechanical City of the Mo Family has appeared in Chang 'an. As the younger brother of Mo Jiazi, how can I sit still? Whether Brother Mo is improving the Mechanical City or using the reputation of the Mechanical City of the Mo Family, I have to come here personally."
Of course, the two of them knew that Meton would not move the legendary Mechanical City of the Mo Family, which was full of traps, into Chang 'an. However, they could imagine that the Mechanical City of the Mo Family that the Mo Family had spent two years to build must carry the most advanced Mo Skills of the Mo Family. This was a temptation that Li Yun could not refuse.
Zu Mingjun nodded. He was very curious in his heart. Meton dared to use the name of the Mechanical City of the Mo Family. He would not say it without thinking.
The two of them followed the crowd to the five-story building, but they saw that Mo Jiazi had abandoned the traditional door and used glass as the door.
"Brother Mo is so generous! There are no wooden tiles in the building. It is all reinforced concrete and inlaid glass. Each of them is expensive! "Zu Mingjun exclaimed.
Even if the Mo Family could make these materials, the cost would be astronomical with so many materials.
"Using glass as the door! Mo Jiazi is really a business genius! " When the visiting merchants saw Meton's glass doors and windows, their eyes lit up. The most important thing in business was to show the goods to the customers. However, most of the shops now were tightly surrounded by wooden doors and brick walls. Only the door could be opened to the customers.
However, if glass doors and windows were used, not only would the customers be able to see the goods on the street, but there was also a more important advantage, which was the lighting. The sun could directly shine from the outside into the house, and the whole room would be as bright as day.
Sure enough, when the crowd stepped through the glass door, they saw that the room was extremely spacious, but there was no darkness. It was as bright as day, and everything was clearly visible.
"In addition to the magical effect of the glass, I am afraid that the tiles under our feet also contributed a lot." Li Yun saw the tiles under his feet as smooth as jade, and recognized Meton's design at a glance.
"Although we don't know Brother Mo's plan, there is no doubt that Brother Mo has used the best materials in the world in the Mechanical City," Zu Mingjun said. Tiles were expensive things. Meton paved the entire Mechanical City with tiles, which could be said to be extremely luxurious. Of course, the effect was also excellent. The effect of glass and tiles superimposed on each other immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Brother Mo named it the Mechanical City of the Mo Family. The novel materials are only one of them. The most important thing is the Mo Skill contained in these new materials." Li Yun took a deep breath and looked up at the circular glass dome on the fifth floor in the center of the building. He saw the sun shining directly on the dome and reflected by the mirrors on each floor. This was the reason why the huge building was still as bright as day.
And with his eyesight, he could see that the glass dome of the Mo Family Village was extremely exquisite. No matter where the sun was, it could ensure that the entire building was bright. It was simply the pinnacle of the Mo Family Village's optical Mo Skill.
Zu Mingjun nodded and said, "Compared to the glass dome, I prefer the automatic escalator in front of me. It's fine if brother Li lives on the fifth floor, but I have to climb up and down the fifth floor every day. It's quite tiring."
Zu Mingjun looked at the escalator in front of him that could allow two people to stand side by side. However, the amazing thing was that these escalators could automatically circulate under the mechanical action. The people who came to visit only needed to stand on the escalator and it would automatically go up to the second floor. This was simply a blessing for Zu Mingjun who had suffered from climbing up the stairs.
"It is said that the Mechanical City of the Mo Family is hidden in the mountains. Ordinary people can't find it at all. Brother Mo Jiazi often needs a hanging basket to go in and out, but the escalator designed by Meton is better. People only need to stand on the escalator and they can go straight up to the fifth floor. If I am not wrong, there must be another floor below this floor. It is filled with mechanisms that allow the escalator to carry so many people without any stagnation." Li Yun saw the mystery of the escalator at a glance.
"Maybe there are mechanisms on the top floor. After all, in addition to the escalator on the fifth floor, there are also escalators similar to the ones in the women's and children's hospital. I think it is better to install such an escalator. In this way, it will be more convenient for Brother Li to go up and down the stairs." Zu Mingjun saw the escalator on the side and immediately changed his mind.
"Stairs, escalators, and escalators! In the future, there will be no other staircase in the world. Brother Mo is indeed a great talent. " Li Yun couldn't help but praise. Meton's move suddenly changed the way people went up and down the stairs. Not to mention the fifth floor, even if it was the tenth floor or the twentieth floor, it would be like walking on flat ground. This technique had already surpassed the legendary mechanisms to enter the Mechanical City.
Although it was already quite convenient to go upstairs, the two of them didn't rush upstairs. Instead, they continued to observe the first floor and discovered one after another that surprised the two of them.
Heating pipes were everywhere. One could imagine that even if it was winter, it would be as warm as spring. In addition, there were toilets on every floor. Using the siphon principle, toilet bowls and toilets, and faucets, water would come out with just a turn.
"How is this a toilet! It is even better than a place where people live. The toilets are all tiled, the toilets are all porcelain and can be flushed clean. The faucets are also plated with copper. Mo Jiazi is indeed worthy of the title of a prodigal. "Gongshu Lun's voice suddenly sounded.
"What prodigal? There is a lot of knowledge in this. The faucets are plated with copper to prevent rust. The toilets are tiled to make it easier to clean. As for the siphon effect of the toilets, it is even more important. There are so many people coming in and out of the Mechanical City every day. If it was like an ordinary toilet, wouldn't the stench be overwhelming? If not, there will definitely be a person coming here in three days." Gongshu Hong said solemnly.
"Moreover, Mo Jiazi directly covered the entire fifth floor with water pipes. If there is a fire, it can be easily put out. In addition, I just found that every floor is divided into several areas by Mo Jiazi with fire curtains. There are also fire alarm bells and escape routes outside the walls. The walls are made of concrete and glass. Even if there is a deliberate fire, it will be a waste of effort in the Mechanical City of the Mo Family," Gongshu Hao exclaimed. In the inheritance of the Gongshu Family, there was a record of the central pool in the Mechanical City of the Mo Family. They had thought of various ways to break it, but they did not expect Mo Jiazi to use the central pool to such an extent.
"The Gongshu Family is indeed knowledgeable!" Following Li Yun's voice, Zu Mingjun, who was pushing Li Yun's wheelchair, happened to meet the Gongshu Family in the toilet.
The two parties looked at each other and came to a tacit understanding. They were all here for the same purpose, to see if Mo Jiazi's Mechanical City of the Mo Family lived up to its name.
"So it is Craftsman Li and Mr. Zu. Craftsman Li is also one of the three branches of the Mo Family. What do you think of the Mechanical City of the Mo Family built by Merton? Does it live up to the legends? "Gongshu Hong's eyes flashed as he asked.
Li Yun smiled and said, "The Mechanical City of the Mo Family was passed down for generations to prepare for war. Naturally, it is filled with mechanisms. There is only one in the world. However, the Mechanical City built by Brother Mo is for civilian use. In the future, it will definitely spread to the world. Moreover, even a cripple like me can move freely in the Mechanical City, which is more suitable for normal people. This Mechanical City of the Mo Family deserves to be called the Mechanical City of the Mo Family."
The members of the Gongshu family couldn't help but nod their heads slowly. Being in this building, they were deeply affected. This building had the sturdiest walls, ample lighting and ventilation systems, as well as lifts that allowed people to move freely. Perhaps the individual Ink Skills didn't count for much, but the Mohist family had integrated all of them into this building.
This epoch-making building that carried the cooperation of the Mo Family's Mo Skills was worthy of being called the Mechanical City.
