"The power multiplied by the power arm is equal to the resistance multiplied by the resistance arm." When Mo Jiazi announced the complete formula of the lever to the public, everyone sighed in their hearts. This time, the Mohist theory had reached perfection!
Even the most ordinary craftsmen would be able to create labor-saving machines using this formula.
"This time, I'm afraid we'll have to live in Mo Jiazi's shadow for the rest of our lives. The other two branches of the Mohist family will also have to submit to the Mohist family," the disciples of the other two branches of the Mohist family said with heavy hearts.
Not only the two branches of the Mohist family, but the Gongshu family also had complicated thoughts. The two families had been rivals for thousands of years and had never submitted to each other. However, this time, the Mohist family had shone brilliantly while the Gongshu family had done nothing.
However, there were also people from the aristocratic families who snorted in their hearts. "Mo Jiazi is only 20 years old, but he has already achieved such success at such a young age. Is he not afraid of killing his body and using his words?"
"Killing his body and using his words!"
This was the story of Legalism's Han Feizi. Back then, Han Feizi was also a great master of Legalism. Han Feizi entered Qin and was greatly appreciated by Qin Shihuang. However, because of Han Feizi's political views, Han Feizi's influence in Qin was great. In the end, he was framed and imprisoned. Although history books recorded that Li Si killed Han Feizi, everyone knew that without Qin Shihuang's approval, Li Si wouldn't have dared to kill Han Feizi in the strict Qin. From then on, he was greatly valued by the king of Qin and was promoted to Prime Minister.
After Han Feizi's death, the Qin First Emperor used Han Feizi's Legalists to destroy the six states and unify the world. This was killing his body and using his words.
Now, Mo Jiazi was only 20 years old, but he had already developed the Mohist theory to the peak. All craftsmen in the world regarded him as their leader. Wasn't this situation very similar to Han Feizi's situation?
Now that Mo Jiazi's reputation had reached the peak, in the eyes of people, this was an extremely dangerous signal. Even more frightening was that Mo Jiazi was only 20 years old, even younger than Han Feizi. It was unknown how much Mo Jiazi could grow in the future.
Immediately, many people looked at Mo Jiazi with a layer of worry. However, Meton laughed and said, "If you all think that this is the peak of the Mohist family, then you are all wrong. In my opinion, this is just the beginning."
Zu Mingjun and the others looked at Meton's and couldn't help but stomp their feet. Meton's situation was already in such a delicate situation, but he was still continuing to grow...
Morton ignored him and said, "I call this era the Age of Machines, but that's a little biased. Most of the machines we use now rely on manpower. To be more precise, we should call it the Age of Human-Powered Machines."
. "" The era of human-powered machines! "
Everyone nodded. Mo Jiazi's division was accurate. Although machines were good, they needed people to control them.
"However, human strength is sometimes limited, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite! Once the surging river overflows, it will destroy everything that stands in its way. The soaring flames will devour everything that can be burned. The whistling hurricanes are strong enough to sweep people up into the sky. This world is filled with endless water power, fire power, and wind power. No matter which one it is, it is thousands of times stronger than human strength. If we can control these three powers to the extent that they can be used by humans and replace human strength, what a grand occasion it will be. "
"Water, fire, and wind!" The group of craftsmen frowned. They naturally knew that the power of heaven and earth was endless, but they were not Daoists. How could they command the gods in the sky and make these forces be used by humans?
"That's impossible!" Xiao Dengkui suddenly shouted. Although Mo Jiazi's theory of leverage was amazing, Mo Jiazi's idea of studying the power of heaven and earth was a fool's dream.
The others fell silent. Although Xiao Dengkui was rude, he had spoken the words in their hearts.
Meton looked at Xiao Dengkui and said, "This Mo is not speaking without thinking, but there are traces that can be followed. That is because the predecessors of the craftsmen have already taken the first step."
"There are traces that can be followed?" Everyone was stunned. They frowned but couldn't find any clues.
Meton reminded them, "I wonder if you have heard of the Du Shi Water Pipe."
"The Du Shi Water Pipe!" With Meton's reminder, everyone recalled that there was a type of machine that didn't rely on human strength, but on water. That was the water pipe created by the Eastern Han Dynasty's forefather, Du Shi. It was specifically used to smelt iron and create wind.
"The Du Shi Water Pipe does indeed use water, but it has a huge flaw. It must be installed in places where the water flow is rapid. Moreover, the water flow is abundant in summer, and the wind is strong. In autumn and winter, the water flow is slow and the water level is low. It can't be used at all." Xiao Dengkui frowned.
The group of craftsmen nodded. The water pipe could only be used in places with abundant water and many rivers in the north. In the north, where there were fewer rivers and the water flow was slower, it was simply useless. Not to mention, the water pipe had to be adjusted according to the water level, which was extremely troublesome.
But then again, although the water pipe had its inconveniences, it could indeed transform the power of heaven and earth for people's use as Meton said. As long as there was running water, the water pipe could rotate continuously and transform the power of the river for people's use. Suddenly, everyone had more trust in Mo Jiazi's words.
Meton nodded and said, "The water pipe does have its disadvantages, but the problems of water level and flow speed are not unsolvable. We can build a dam in the canyon to store water and install a water pipe. The Mo Family has submitted a memorial to the imperial court to build a dam at the Shiba Valley upstream of the Li River. When there is a lot of water in summer, we can block the river to store water and increase the storage capacity of the reservoir to reduce the threat of floods to Chang 'an. In autumn and winter, we can open the sluice gate to release water to ensure the continuous water transportation of the Li River and the irrigation water on both sides of the river. A dam can be used for flood control, irrigation, and water transportation. Moreover, we can install a water pipe on the dam to perfectly solve the disadvantages of flow speed and water level.
As soon as Meton finished his words, everyone was in an uproar again. Every time they thought that they had overestimated Mo Jiazi, they found that they had underestimated his ambition. Who would have thought that Mo Jiazi would try to control a river? Moreover, his plan was so thorough that it was highly possible to succeed.
More craftsmen were thinking about Mo Jiazi's dam plan. Once it was successful, such a huge water power would definitely provide the whole Mo's Village with a steady flow of power. The benefits were simply enviable. "Mo Jiazi is only using a small river.
There are so many rivers in the world that are better than the Li River, and there are so many rivers that are better than the Shibiao Valley. One day, with the progress of Mo's technique, the Tang dynasty can build super dams on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At that time, the Tang dynasty will really control the two flowing beasts, and the people on both sides of the river will no longer be afraid of floods. The water power hidden in the two dams is probably incomparable to all the manpower and horsepower in the world. Even if we use a little of it, we will have endless returns. In addition to water power, wind power, fire power, as long as it is the power of heaven and earth, they are all under the study of the School of Mo. This is the future of the School of Mo, and also the task of the School of Mo, "Meton said passionately.
The whole hall was silent again. They originally thought that the sewing machine and the other two items were the essence of the School of Mo's technique, but they didn't expect that Mo Jiazi would unify the unique skills of the School of Mo on the basis of these three items. When everyone thought that the lever principle was the peak of the School of Mo's knowledge, they didn't expect that Mo Jiazi would propose the future direction of the School of Mo, which was to use the power of heaven and earth for his own use.
They thought highly of Mo Jiazi again and again, and Mo Jiazi shocked them again and again.
"This is Mo Jiazi!" At this moment, everyone sighed in their hearts. Mo Jiazi, who had created miracles again and again.
