"School of Mo!"
Almost everyone fell silent when they saw the Mo Family's article. The Mo Family's rebuttal for the crime of belligerence made everyone fall into deep thought. The reason why they could feel that time was peaceful was because there was a group of people who were moving against the flow in the darkness, and the Mo Family was this group of people.
"Sophistry, this is simply twisting the truth. The School of Mo has participated in too many wars and created countless killing weapons, causing many bloody cases. How could Mo Jiazi just let it go so easily?" In the Confucian Journal, Chief Editor Ma slammed the Mo Journal on the table and laughed angrily.
In his opinion, if one wanted to educate the people, benevolence must be the key. However, Mo Jiazi was helping the tyrant and colluding with the military. One used people and the other used weapons, trying to suppress the world with force. This was simply a perverse act.
"However, the Ink Technique used for military use can also be used for civilian use to benefit the people. On the 21st of December, the Zhen Guan 14th Year Ink Technique Exhibition welcomes everyone to enjoy the splendor of the military Ink Technique together. The School of Mo's military Ink Technique is not only a killing technique, it can also benefit the people."
No one expected that at the end of the Mo Journal, Mo Jiazi would advertise the upcoming Ink Technique Exhibition.
"Ink Technique Exhibition!"
"Mo Jiazi is so daring, he wants to publicize the military Ink Technique!"
Almost everyone was shocked. No one expected Mo Jiazi to use the military Ink Technique for civilian use. If other countries knew about the most advanced military Ink Technique of the Tang dynasty, it would be terrible.
Many people had complicated thoughts. They had just stood on the moral high ground and accused the School of Mo of using the military Ink Technique to kill countless people. In the blink of an eye, they were worried that the military Ink Technique would be leaked and endanger the Tang dynasty.
…
"Nonsense, you want to publicize the military Ink Technique just to prove that the School of Mo's Ink Technique is not only a killing technique!"
In the Legislative Hall, Li Shimin was also shocked by the article in the Mo Journal. He hurriedly summoned Modun over to give him a good scolding.
Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle could not help but cover their mouths and laugh. They were not unfamiliar with this scene. This was almost the only way for them to communicate.
In the end, Changle still stood on Meton's side and said, "Father! Isn't it because the Confucian journals have gone too far and openly questioned the School of Mo? Even the ordinary people have an anti-war heart and slandered the School of Mo. Isn't Meton trying to prove his innocence? "
"Just to prove his innocence, he dares to publicize his military ink technique!" Li Shimin laughed in exasperation.
Meton hurriedly explained, "Of course it won't be a public military ink technique. It's just a derivative of the military ink technique. It won't involve leaking secrets, and it won't have the lethality of the military ink technique. Instead, it will be extremely useful to the people."
"Derivative!" Li Shimin frowned.
Meton nodded and said, "Take gunpowder weapons for example. If you want to detonate it, you have to ignite it. Previously, in the land of Gao Chang, there was no abnormality in the dry climate. However, if you fight in a humid and rainy place, what if the fire extinguishes or if it's wet? I'm afraid that the most powerful weapon of the Tang dynasty will immediately become a decoration."
"This …!" Li Shimin suddenly frowned. The biggest enemy of gunpowder weapons was humidity. Once it was rainy, it would lose its power if it couldn't be ignited. The fire extinguisher was indeed a hidden danger.
"Therefore, gunpowder weapons need a fire extinguisher that can be ignited at any time to ensure that the gunpowder can be ignited under any circumstances. For this reason, the Mo Family's village has researched and created a fire extinguisher that can be ignited at any time and place." Meton said proudly. He took out a palm-sized square item and placed it in front of Li Shimin.
"A fire extinguisher!" Li Shimin could not help but be stunned. He did not expect that a fire extinguisher could be made into a fire extinguisher.
Modun smiled slightly. He placed the lighter in his hand and flicked it lightly. Click! The fire extinguisher made a crisp sound. His thumb gently moved the gear. Suddenly, a bunch of sparks burst out from the gear as if a flint had been struck. The cotton thread in front of the gear was ignited, and a bunch of flames appeared in the Legislative Hall.
"So fast!" Li Shimin was surprised.
Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle did not think much of it. However, Li Shimin had experienced war and knew how troublesome it was to use flint or fire extinguisher. However, the fire extinguisher made by Mo Jiazi was like an oil lamp.
"This is made by combining the principles of oil lamp, flint, and fire extinguisher. The Mo Family discovered that an oil lamp that had just been extinguished only needed a single spark to ignite. Therefore, the Mo Family placed fuel under the fire extinguisher. There was a lead on top and a flint on the side. At the same time, it could be carried around like a fire extinguisher." Meton said proudly.
"Not only that, it is also safer!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly. The reason why a fire extinguisher could be ignited was because the spark inside was not extinguished. The soldiers who carried fire extinguishers and gunpowder weapons would usually be separated. As a result, it was not convenient to fight a war. However, the fire extinguisher perfectly solved this problem. It could ignite when it was needed and close the lid when it was not needed. The flame would be extinguished due to lack of oxygen. At the same time, it could keep the insides dry so that it could be ignited easily the next time. The soldiers could carry both fire extinguishers and gunpowder weapons at the same time. It could be said that it was convenient and safe.
"Moreover, the fire extinguisher is not only safe, but also reliable. Unless the lid is closed, it will never go out." Meton said. His hands were not idle. He picked up the lighter and ignited it. With a flick of his finger, the fire extinguisher suddenly danced on his fingertips. It was extremely dazzling.
Princess Changle, who was at the side, suddenly revealed a look of worship. She was infatuated with Meton who was acting cool.
"Humph!"
Li Shimin looked at Princess Changle's expression. It was the same expression that she used to look at him. He could not help but feel pain in his heart and let out a muffled groan.
Meton suddenly smiled awkwardly. His fingers paused. He held the fire extinguisher in his hand. The flame was still not extinguished.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, I'll give you this fire extinguisher! This is what the Minister used to ignite the gunpowder when Gao Chang attacked the city. It is very memorable. " Morton swung his hand and closed the lid of the lighter with a click, casually handing it over to Li Zhi, who had been eyeing it for a long time.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. If it was an ordinary fire extinguisher, he would only treat it as a fun toy. If he had the experience of destroying the city, then the significance was different.
Li Shimin watched as his son put away such a meaningful fire extinguisher like a treasure. His heart could not help but feel sour. But because of his face, he could not compete with his son.
"Just a fire extinguisher is the civilian version of your military ink technology?" Li Shimin suspected that Meton was doing it on purpose. His eyes were not good.
Meton shook his head and said: "The production of fire extinguishers is not much at present. At present, it is only for the military. The civilian version of the military ink technology that the Minister said is something else. When the time comes, I guarantee that I will not disappoint the Emperor."
"Good! Zhen will wait. "Li Shimin looked at Mo Jiazi who was still keeping him in suspense and said hatefully.
