I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 534: Sky Survey Mirror and Sky Eye! Domineering!
In fact, Han Shao has been paying attention to the developments in Zhuozhou.

However, compared to the war itself, which affected the situation of the two states, what interested him more was the new toys that the Mohist School gave him.

Han Shao fiddled with the extremely sophisticated and complex mechanical device in front of him, making the images it projected clearer and clearer. He finally couldn't help but sigh.

"What a good thing!"

After saying that, he suddenly became curious again.

"So... the astronomical mirror in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory in Shendu is this thing?"

Rumor has it that the Imperial Observatory has a celestial mirror that can monitor the world.

When Han Shao first heard this rumor, he felt a little shocked.

I am afraid that other people will see some of my shameful deeds.

Although at this point in time, this "little thing" is not enough to lead to the death of the entire family, but it is always embarrassing to have a person's image collapse prematurely.

Fortunately, someone soon relieved his anxiety.

As early as when Taizu was alive, the celestial mirror was indeed able to monitor the whole world, and even what officials of all ranks ate and did at home every day.

As long as the Taizu wanted, every detail would appear on the imperial throne in the Weiyang Palace.

However, with the successive deaths of Taizu and several powerful emperors, their successors, perhaps in order to demonstrate their benevolence or under pressure from their ministers, eventually imposed restrictions on this.

Even today, although the Sky Survey Telescope is still claimed to be used for sky survey, in reality, it can only reflect and monitor the homes of ordinary people and has long been useless.

Look, even the Mohist sage who presented this new toy to Han Shao was somewhat disdainful.

"Your Majesty, the Sky Survey Mirror was created by our predecessors in the Mohist school, and it is more than two thousand years old."

"It has gone through many twists and turns and has rarely been maintained. It is no longer as useful as it once was..."

What this means is that the sky survey telescope in Shendu is outdated technology and too backward.

Han Shao, who was playing with his new toy with great interest, thought about it when he heard this.

People today are not necessarily inferior to those in ancient times.

Especially in terms of technology, it is reasonable for later generations to continuously innovate based on the accumulation of their predecessors.

After nodding slightly to express his approval of the Mohist sage, Han Shao did not rush to pay attention to the battlefield scene before him.

Instead, he caught up with the Mohist sage and asked him about the difference between this thing and the Sky Survey Mirror.

This technology involves many complex processes, formations and runes, and even the Mohist sage himself found it a bit boring to talk about it, but Han Shao, a human prince, actually nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Giving Han Shao a strange look, the Mohist sage stopped talking and finally couldn't help asking.

"These... can Your Majesty really understand?"

Otherwise, why do people say that people who work in technology have low emotional intelligence!

Such words that hurt one's self-esteem were asked directly in front of others.

Han Shao rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run."

These words were a bit rough, and the Mohist sage took a while to react before he realized what Han Shao meant.

But then he became somewhat unconvinced.

"This thing has never been shown to outsiders by our Mohist school. How could Your Majesty have ever...ever seen a pig run?"

Seeing that the other party was about to accuse him of bragging, Han Shao became a little annoyed.

Then he poured out everything he knew about satellites in front of the Mohist sage.

Although Han Shao was vague and ambiguous in many aspects in his narration in order to cover up his lack of knowledge, the story seemed a bit fragmented.

But it still frightened the arrogant Mohist sage.

Because Han Shao's description undoubtedly directly revealed the details of the creation in front of him and even the operation of the celestial mirror in the Divine Capital.

He had not yet told Han Shao about these.

So the result is obvious. This Duke of Yan has really seen a pig run... Pah! He has really seen this thing, and he even knows the secrets inside it!

He stared at Han Shao blankly for a while, finally came to his senses and asked hurriedly.

"I wonder where Your Majesty saw this thing? How...how can you know so much about it?"

Han Shao glanced at him sideways, not wanting to tolerate his bad temper, and said indifferently.

"Are you questioning Yu Gu?"

The time traveler carefully follows the principle of "staying safe", learns to play dumb and protect himself.

That was when we were still weak.

Now that Han has grown strong, as long as he is dissatisfied with the big mouths in the world that he is a demon from outside the domain, who dares to say a word?

It was obvious that the Mohist sage in front of Han Shao at this moment, although his emotional intelligence was a little low, was not a fool after all.

Seeing Han Shao's expression change, he immediately restrained his anxiety and said with some trepidation.

"Your Majesty, this old man... this old man did not mean that."

Han Shao's eyes fell on him lightly, seemingly calm, but actually heavy as a stone.

The astonishing power that can rival that of the Ninth Realm Taiyi and the enormous fortune contained in the position of a king or prince, just one of them is enough to crush a Sixth Realm powerhouse.

The combination of the two is something that even a True Immortal of the Seventh Realm cannot withstand.

Seeing that the Mohist sage's knees were gradually weakening and he was about to kowtow, Han Shao suddenly retracted his gaze and lifted up the man with a wave of his hand.

"I respect the talents of your Mohist school, but I also hope that you can respect my power and strength..."

"Isn't it easy to understand what I meant?"

The threats shouted at the top of one's voice are the cries of the weak.

Given Han Shao's current status, even if he just said it lightly, it would make people tremble and fall into panic.

"Yes Yes Yes--"

Seeing the other party nodding rapidly, Han Shao suddenly smiled.

"Look at you. I was just joking with the sage, and he got so nervous."

"Come here, please give me a seat and some tea."

Han Shao, who had already mastered the art of 'giving a slap in the face and a sweet date', actually moved the Mohist sage a little with his actions.

Then he answered Han Shao's questions without hesitation.

After such a smooth conversation, Han Shao finally shifted his focus away from the new toy.

"Tell me, you are willing to give me such a valuable treasure, what do you want?"

Although his ties with the Mohist School are becoming closer and closer, their relationship has still not reached the point where they need to use their family assets.

The object in front of us is undoubtedly one of the assets of the Mohist school.

unless……

"Is he, the Mohist school, going to place a bet in advance?"

As soon as the thought came to Han Shao's mind, the Mohist sage could not wait to give him a positive answer.

"You are a wise ruler in the past, and you have shown me your trust and respect for my Mohist school!"

"Everyone in the Mohist School is deeply moved!"

Having said that, he stood up and bowed solemnly to Han Shao, then continued.

"But Your Majesty should also know that our Mohist family is not limited to us."

"Over the years, the Mo Xia lineage has been searching diligently and searching for a way out to revive the Mohist school."

"Now, Guo Jie, a great figure in my Moxia lineage, is grateful for your kindness and would like to come out of seclusion to serve you. I beg your permission."

The great hero Guo Jie.

Another character with the same name as the guy next door.

Han Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped lightly on the delicate mechanism of the object with his fingers.

"So... this is your sincerity to me?"

Although the Mohist sage was obviously not a qualified lobbyist, the word sincerity was enough to offset everything since ancient times.

"If Your Majesty likes it, my Mo family's sincerity will only increase in the future."

Good one, there will only be more and more!
Han Shao was amused and laughed out loud.

After he finished laughing, he glanced at the other person playfully.

"Is this... what you, the great master of the Mo family, meant?"

Seeing the other party nod, Han Shao joked, "Isn't your master afraid that a mere soldier like me will ruin your Mohist tradition?"

Han Shao's previous "heresy" of using force to stop war had successfully "corrupted" some Mohist sages and made them use it for his own purposes.

But he was not so arrogant as to influence the entire Mohist school and make all Mohists, from top to bottom, abandon the consensus reached over countless years.

Not to mention Meng Sheng, the great leader of the Mohist school.

The higher up you are, the more you care about stability.

However, sudden changes and alterations in thinking can easily lead to numerous turmoil, and even collapse is not impossible.

But Han Shao was quite surprised. When the Mohist sage heard his words, he spoke seriously.

"Don't worry, my lord. My great master agrees with some of your ideas. He even said to us disciples, 'I will treat you as my confidant'!"

"He also said, 'Everyone says that our Mohist school is 'conservative and inflexible', so it has gradually declined to this point! Rather than sit back and watch it decay, it is better to give it a try!'"

"If you succeed, you can seize the opportunity to revive! If you fail at the last moment, it can also be a warning to future generations!"

Upon hearing this, Han Shao stared at the Mohist sage in a daze, as if he wanted to tell from the other's face whether the words were true or false.

But what I see is still that damn sincerity.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Han Shao ignored the other party's eyes that were eager for an answer and suddenly changed the subject.

He then turned his attention back to the mechanical creation that the other party had presented.

"How many 'eyes' have you deployed now? Where are they?"

The turn was so abrupt, but considering the cause and effect of Han Shao's change of expression just now, the Mohist sage did not dare to say much this time.

I could only answer Han Shao's question honestly.

"Your Majesty, there is only... only one."

The Mohist sage was quite embarrassed in his words. After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Han Shao would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly added.

"This thing is quite complicated to make, and it costs a lot, so... so..."

Simply put, it's too expensive and I can't afford it.

This is also easy to understand.

Let alone the Mohist school which has declined to this extent today, even if it was once prosperous, how could the resources in its hands compare with those of the Great Yong Kingdom?

So even though today's technology is far superior to what it was in the past, they are unable to replicate the original power and effectiveness of the Sky Survey Mirror.

Han Shao, who heard this, acted like a wealthy man and waved his hand.

"I'll do some more later. Don't worry about the money. I'll take care of it all!"

At least some of the key areas he is concerned about can be included.

It also saves the Six Gates' spies from having to risk their lives to get certain information, and then risk their lives again to pass the information on.

All in all, all in all.

To Han Shao, human life is always more important than money.

Things that can be solved with money, we were born by our mothers and raised by our parents, there is no need to let people die.

What to do if the money is spent?
It is, of course, the easy-to-understand hard truth: my neighbors store food, and I store guns...

After hearing Han Shao's ostentatious appearance, even though the Mohist sage had been with Han Shao for quite some time and had witnessed many of Han Shao's largesse, he still hesitated for a while before finally giving a cautious reminder.

"Your Majesty, we need money everywhere nowadays. Regarding this item... can we hold off for a while?"

He took out this item just to prove his Mohist sincerity and to show Han Shao the Mohist's background.

It's not that we want to use up all the remaining food Han Shao has!
The intention is good, and the suggestion is also quite practical.

But how could Han easily change his decision?

"Slow down? I just know that time is running out, so we have to seize every moment!"

"That's it."

"How about you recruit some people to focus on this matter, and you will be the chief supervisor and take full responsibility?"

Unexpectedly, after all this, the Mohist sage who had become an official was stunned for a moment.

After he came to his senses, he burst into tears and sincerely thanked Han Shao.

People live for fame and fortune.

If both are thrown away, what difference is there between them and grass and trees?
At this time, Han Shao suddenly said another sentence.

"By the way, besides the name of the Sky Survey Mirror, does your Mo family have any other name for this thing?"

After saying this, Han Shao clapped his hands before the Mohist sage could reply.

"Forget it. No matter what it was called before, I will give it a new name now that it is in my hands."

After a brief hesitation, Han Shao spoke directly.

"Let's call it the Eye of Heaven."

Good guy!
Even the great Yong Taizu at that time only dared to name it "Xuntian", which means patrolling on behalf of the sky.

When it came to the Duke of Yan, the intensity was increased again.

He even brazenly named it "Heaven"!
Such a taboo name made the Mohist sages, who were already fearful of ghosts and gods, inevitably feel suspicious.

But there is no way, Mr. Han gave too much.

With this premise, ghosts and gods? That has to be avoided!
"This is a very good name! Your Majesty is very talented!"

The flattery is blatant, direct and very crude.

Han Shao gave him an encouraging look.

"Work hard, and when my eye of heaven truly shines throughout the universe in the future, you will still be in charge."

After being hit by a huge blow, the dizzy Mohist sage didn't even know how to walk out of Han Shao's mansion.

It was not until the cold wind of mid-autumn blew that he suddenly reacted violently.

"Oh no! How could I forget the important matter!"

Mr. Han accepted the generous gift from the Mohist school, but has not yet given a reply!
"This... What should I do? How am I going to explain this to Juzi when I get back?"

In front of the mansion, the Mohist sage looked annoyed.

He was about to turn back and ask Han Shao for a clear explanation, but he stopped there.

"Forget it. Since I can't explain myself if I go back, then... then I won't go back."

How could there be more future in hanging out with a tycoon than hanging out with the Duke of Yan?
Don’t you see that even the great masters are eager to follow the Duke of Yan?
An honest man always makes a prompt decision when an idea strikes his mind.

At this moment, nothing is more important than what the Prince of Yan represented!

What he, as the chief supervisor, should really care about is to spread the Sky Eyes throughout Youzhou as soon as possible, and even throughout the entire Dayong world in the future.

So the step he had just taken suddenly turned back and walked away.

……

Han Shao, who witnessed the scene outside the mansion, smiled.

It's just a little incident and you can have a little fun with it. There's no need to take it too seriously.

At this moment, he finally focused his attention on the battlefield scene shown by the Sky Eye.

Looking down from a high vantage point, the piled-up corpses of both sides had even filled up the valley, which was not very wide to begin with.

At this moment, the pole stood on a mountain somewhere in the valley, and a figure wearing an ochre-yellow Taoist robe suddenly raised his head and looked into the void.

"Who is spying?"

In the picture where the heavenly eyes converge, the pair of golden eyes are full of arrogance.

"awesomeness!"

Han Shao commented on this.

But he reacted immediately.

"Shit! That's not right!"

"This is Huang Silang's line!"

"It should be Zhang Muzhi!"

Han looked annoyed.
