"This is the R&D area!" Li Yi pointed at a heavily guarded fortress-like building. Even though it was freezing and the end of the year was approaching, there were still many village guards patrolling the area.
"R&D area?" Han Zheng was puzzled. He could understand the names of other areas, but he had never heard of R&D area before.
Meton explained, "The reason why the School of Mo can rise again is because of the Mo skills left by the School of Mo's sages. However, the School of Mo can't just sit there and do nothing. The School of Mo naturally needs to continue to develop more Mo skills based on the sages' foundation."
Han Zheng nodded with relief. The vigorous School of Mo was indeed the best ally of legalism.
Li Yi took out a pair of reading glasses and said, "Brother Han, you may not know. Take this pair of reading glasses as an example. Although the glass technology is the secret technique of the Far West, glass is just a rare thing in the Far West. However, this pair of reading glasses is the original invention of the School of Mo. Countless old people in the Tang dynasty have benefited greatly from this pair of reading glasses. "
Most of the School of Mo were craftsmen. Naturally, the older they were, the more benefits they would receive. However, the older they were, the worse their eyesight would be. Old Zhang had originally planned to retire and pass on his craft to his son. With the reading glasses, Old Zhang immediately patted his chest and promised that he could work for another ten years.
Han Zheng nodded. After Meton developed the reading glasses, he had sent a pair to him immediately. He naturally knew the benefits of reading glasses.
The four-wheeled carriage stopped at the entrance of the R&D area. There was a huge banner on the door that said, "Non-R&D personnel are not allowed to enter."
"The School of Mo's Village's curved plough, artificial incubation technology, iron pot secret technique, four-wheeled carriage secret technique, glass secret technique, and so on are all developed here. The R&D area is the most confidential place in the School of Mo's Village. Usually, even the Old Man is not allowed to enter for no reason," Li Yi said solemnly.
Han Zheng nodded solemnly. This place was probably the guarantee of the School of Mo's future prosperity.
The School of Mo's prosperity depended on the secret techniques that were most beneficial to the Tang dynasty. As long as the R&D area could continuously develop secret techniques, the School of Mo's position would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.
Soon, the door of the R&D area opened heavily. Old Zhang, who had heard the news, hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, young master."
"Uncle Zhang, you've worked hard." Meton hurriedly got off the car and lifted Old Zhang up. In the Village Mo, Old Zhang was probably the most indispensable person. Old Zhang would always carry out some of Meton's ideas. It could be said that Old Zhang had made a great contribution to the prosperity of the Village Mo today.
"Young Master is going to inspect the R&D District today. We've been waiting for Young Master for a long time." Old Zhang said excitedly.
In the R&D department, Meton was simply a legend. Every time, it was Meton who proposed the idea. They only needed to develop according to the direction, and every time the result came out, it would shock the whole Tang dynasty. This gave Brother Mo Jiazi, who was in the R&D department, a great sense of satisfaction. At the same time, his admiration for the Young Master increased.
Seeing this, Meton could only nod and turn to invite Han Zheng, "Teacher, why don't we take this opportunity to visit the Research and Development Department today?"
Han Zheng said straightforwardly, "It is my honor to be able to see the masterpiece of the Mohist Master."
The R&D area was the most representative of the future of the Village Mo. Of course, Han Zheng would not miss this opportunity.
Led by Old Zhang, a group of people entered the R&D area in a line. As soon as they entered, they saw two Brother Mo Jiazi driving two strong oxen to turn the winch constantly. Then a huge stone door suddenly fell down.
Old Zhang said proudly, "This is the Dragon-breaking Stone. Once the noose is put down, no brute force can open it."
Han Zheng reached out to touch the heavy Dragon-breaking Stone, and a thick and cold feeling suddenly came to his heart. He could not help but sigh, "The most luxurious place in the Village Mo is the schoolhouse, and the safest place is the R&D area. This is really an eye-opener for this Old Man!"
In other villages, these two places were probably the same, and that was the Lord Hou's Mansion. However, the Village Mo did the opposite, which was really admirable.
Meton said with a smile, "Teacher, you flatter me. The Village Mo is not far from Chang 'an, and it is really under the emperor's feet. There is no need to take precautions. Besides, the guards of the Village Mo are patrolling day and night, so there is no need to worry about the safety. As for the Lord Hou's Mansion, I only come back a few times a year. The Lord Hou's Mansion is idle, and we only need to take care of it regularly. There is no need to renovate or rebuild it."
Han Zheng shook his head and said, "Everyone knows the truth, but how many people can really do it?"
"Boom!"
At this time, a sudden loud noise attracted everyone's attention. They saw a strong young man sitting there with a sad face. In front of him, a carriage full of goods was almost falling apart.
Old Zhang looked at the young man and said, "This is my son Zhang Mu. He has developed a jack."
"A jack?" Han Zheng asked in confusion.
Moton explained, "If a normal carriage is damaged, all we need to do is lift it up and repair it. However, there are some carriages that are loaded with goods that are extremely heavy. It takes a lot of time and effort to unload and reload the goods. This jack only needs one person to operate it. It can lift up a thousand pounds of goods. It can be easily repaired."
Han Zheng opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "One person can lift a thousand kilograms of weight?"
Seeing Meton, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel ashamed and said, "Young master, the jack has been more than half completed, but it can only lift a thousand kilograms of weight. However, when it is put down, it can't control the speed. I'm afraid that it will damage the carriage."
"It can lift a thousand kilograms of weight." Han Zheng suddenly became stupefied.
Meton stepped forward, looked at Zhang Mu's blueprint of the jack, and then looked at the iron lump under his feet. An idea came to him and he said, "What if we use a hydraulic device instead? In this way, we can not only increase the weight of the weight, but also put the weight back to the ground at a uniform speed while releasing the liquid."
Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly wrote and drew on the blueprint, even ignoring Meton beside him.
Meton didn't care and motioned for the others not to disturb him.
Soon, under the guidance of Old Zhang, Han Zheng saw many incredible ideas. There were constantly people in the R&D Department working on them. It could be imagined that once every project here was successful, countless people in the world would benefit a lot.
"Young master, this way please!"
Under Old Zhang's lead, the four of them came to an iron fence.
Old Zhang opened the iron fence, revealing a space the size of a square table, and took the lead to walk in.
"Master, please. We are going to the most confidential place in the Mo's Village!" Meton stretched out his hand and invited him.
Although Han Zheng was doubtful that there was no road ahead, he still followed Old Zhang's instructions and entered. After the four of them entered, Old Zhang closed the iron fence with a clatter. He reached out and pulled on a rope beside him. A crisp sound rang out.
Han Zheng only felt that there was nothing under his feet and his body was sinking. Han Zheng was shocked that they were sinking underground.
Meton smiled slightly and said, "This is an idea of the Mo family. It's an automatic elevator."
"An automatic elevator. If people don't move, the elevator will. The Mo family is really ingenious." Han Zheng nodded and said.
Li Yi frowned and said, "Isn't it more convenient to use a ladder?"
Meton smiled and explained, "Uncle Li, you don't know. This automatic elevator is the future idea of the Mo family. The population of Chang 'an will definitely increase, but the land in Chang' an is extremely limited. If one day, the land in Chang 'an is not enough to accommodate the people, we can only develop higher. Now, beside the Vermilion Bird Avenue, there are many three-story and four-story buildings. But what if we want to build 10 or 20 stories in the future? Wouldn't it be tiring to use a ladder? At that time, this automatic elevator will be of great use. "
Everyone suddenly understood.
Old Zhang said with satisfaction, "But now it's extremely appropriate to use it as a security protection in the R&D Department. If outsiders come in, I'm afraid they won't be able to enter the most confidential place in the Mo's Village. "
In less than ten breaths, the elevator had fallen to the ground. When the elevator stopped, Old Zhang opened the iron fences and found that there was a cave underground.
"This is the core area of the R&D Department. The polishing of diamonds, the making of presbyopic glasses, and the experiment of the secret skills of the Mo family are all realized in this underground area." Old Zhang said excitedly.
Everyone looked around and saw a busy scene in the underground space. About 40 to 50 Mo Jiazi brothers were nervously working. One by one, the presbyopic glasses were cut by Mo Jiazi brothers with broken diamonds. The quantity was so great that people couldn't help but be amazed.
