Sure enough, when Li Yun squeezed through the crowd and came to the opposite side of the Crooked River Bridge, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the south bank of the Crooked River Bridge, a huge steel monster stood quietly. It was even more shocking than the siege weapons shown in the military parade.
"What is this?" The old servant looked at the steel monster in front of him in disbelief.
"It is said to be the latest Mo Technique of the Mo Family."
"Yes! It seems to be specially made for bridge construction. "
…
In the crowd, the people rushed to tell the news they heard.
"I have always looked down on Mo Jiazi. Today, I know how powerful the Mo Technique is."
Even Li Yun was shocked. One could imagine how much of an impact it had on the ordinary people. Many people who were dissatisfied with Mo Jiazi became his fans.
That's right, this was the bridge-erecting machine that the Mo Family had specially imitated in order to build the Crooked River Bridge. Moreover, because the technology had just been developed, many processes were not yet perfect. The bridge-erecting machine produced by the Mo Family was larger than that of the later generations, which made it even more shocking.
"This is too big!" Almost everyone looked at the steel monster in front of them in shock.
The shock in Li Yun's heart was even more indescribable. He never thought that the Mo Technique that he had never seen before could achieve such a shocking effect. In his heart, he could not help but change his mind about the Mo Family.
"Look, Mo Jiazi is here too!" In the crowd, the sharp-eyed people saw Mo Jiazi's figure appear next to the bridge erecting machine on the south bank of the Crooked River Bridge.
Li Yun was shocked and looked up. Sure enough, he saw Mo Jiazi's figure accompanied by a few people. There seemed to be a kind-looking old monk.
Li Yun was not wrong. Meton was accompanied by Li Shimin and Master Huiyuan.
"This is the latest bridge erecting machine developed by the Mo Family. With this equipment, you can erect the Crooked River Bridge in one day." Meton proudly introduced to the two people.
Since the School of Mohism had developed such a heavy machine, it was time to promote the School of Mohism. Meton naturally would not let go of this opportunity. Coincidentally, he had been ordered to come in contact with Master Hui Yuan, so he invited the two of them to visit.
"The School of Mohism's Ink Technique truly lives up to its reputation. This is truly an eye-opener for me." Master Hui Yuan looked at the gigantic steel bars of the bridging machine and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Laying the bridge deck in a single day? As far as I know, Li Chun's descendants spent nearly a month just to build the bridge deck, and they still haven't closed it yet." Li Shimin was in disbelief.
One had to know that this was only possible because Li Yun had sufficient financial support and the Mo Family's Mo Skill. If it was an ordinary process, he might not be able to complete the current progress even in two months.
Even so, this was already a speed that shocked all of Chang 'an City. And Mo Jiazi's words were even more unreliable. He actually wanted to erect the bridge in a single day.
Meton smiled proudly. He was about to keep them in suspense when he remembered what had happened before. He quickly changed his words and said, "Your Majesty may not know, but the reason why the Minister is so confident is because the materials needed to erect the bridge have already been cast in advance. Now, all that is needed is the bridge erecting machine."
After Meton finished speaking, he waved his hand. A curtain fell on the roadside, and several gigantic reinforced concrete bridge beams appeared in front of everyone.
These bridges were incomparably huge, and their bodies were wrapped in gray solidified cement. They were cold to the touch, and the exposed parts of the cement were exposed steel bars that were as thick as fingers. They were like the strong roots of old trees, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.
Li Shimin looked at the beams that had already been cast, and then looked at the gigantic bridge erecting machine. Only then did he believe that Mo Jiazi was not exaggerating. He really only needed to use the bridge erecting machine to place the beams on the bridge piers.
But looking at the two similarly huge objects, Li Shimin felt that it was inconceivable. Just the beams alone were probably no less than tens of thousands of kilograms. It was likely that ordinary people would not be able to do it no matter how many people there were. And Mo Jiazi had actually used one to build a large machine, and completed it in a single day.
Wonderful work of art! No, this could no longer be said to be a coincidence. Lifting such a heavy beam could not be said to be a coincidence. However, Li Shimin felt that he was at a loss for words. He simply could not describe this kind of shocking power.
"The treasure of the nation!"
After a long time, Li Shimin spat out the shock in his heart.
Master Hui Yuan was even more shocked. It was no wonder that when he invited Mo Jiazi to succeed the position of Sixth Ancestor, he did not hesitate to refuse. It was because the School of Mo already controlled a power that was close to that of a god.
Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, Taoism and Buddhism both promoted the existence of gods. Although the School of Yin-Yang also believed in ghosts and gods, they appeared and disappeared mysteriously and did not appear in the world.
However, the power of ghosts and gods had never been discovered, and the School of Mo was able to use the Mo technique to create such a shocking weapon. It could be said that this was the power closest to that of a god in the mortal world. How could this not shock the School of Buddhism?
"Master, can we start building the bridge?" Unexpectedly, a young voice came from the gigantic bridge erecting machine.
Everyone looked up and saw a pretty and cute little girl bowing her head and asking.
"Let's begin!" Moton looked at the time and nodded. It was getting late.
Everyone could not help but be stunned. To be able to call Meton as master, this little girl could only be the legendary head disciple of the School of Mo, Wu Meiniang.
Such a gigantic machine that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, Mo Jiazi actually handed it over to a ten year old little girl to command. This contrast gave everyone an incomparable shock.
Meton could not help but smile bitterly. Recently, he was busy with the School of Buddhism, but he did not expect that the people of the Village of Mo really doted on Wu Meiniang too much. When Wu Meiniang saw such a gigantic bridge erecting machine, she immediately fell in love with this gigantic toy. After coaxing and pestering, she climbed up to the position of the command room. It just so happened that the bridge erecting machine was a new thing, and Brother Mo Jiazi also did not know how to use it. On the contrary, Wu Meiniang was careful and daring, and instead commanded it like it was her own arm. As a result, Wu Meiniang became the best person to command the bridge erecting machine.
The bridge erecting machine of this era was naturally not the mechanical drive of the future era. All the links needed to be manually operated. Under the command of Wu Meiniang, the bridge erecting machine slowly extended and firmly stood on the bridge pier that had already been built.
Then, two huge crane arms that were like two large pliers lifted a gigantic beam, and slowly and steadily moved between the two bridge piers.
"Release!"
When the beam was slowly moved between the two bridge piers, under the command of Wu Meiniang, the beam slowly lowered and firmly placed between the two bridge piers.
"Wow!"
Everyone on both sides of the river could not help but exclaim. This could be said to be an eye-opener for them.
"Eh, something is wrong? Why is the bridge deck flat? Could it be that Mo Jiazi did not build an arch bridge? "A commoner suddenly realized that something was wrong, and could not help but exclaim.
"It is indeed not an arch bridge, but …" A commoner seemed to have seen this kind of bridge somewhere before, but could not remember it. He could not help but frown and ponder.
"Beam bridge!" Li Yun on the north bank stared at the flat bridge deck and said word by word.
