"We made it!" Jing Ke said calmly.

Don’t worry about whether I have mastered this technology or not, I have created it anyway.

"What a decisive blow!" Yan Yan was also a little amazed.

Everyone thought Jing Ke would be defeated by these three men, but they did not expect that one sentence would kill him directly, leaving the Yanshi lineage completely unable to refute.

As for perpetual motion, Yan Yan was not sure whether it really existed in the world.

Even the nuclear power of later generations is not a perpetual motion machine. When the raw materials are exhausted, the nuclear materials need to be replaced.

This is one of the reasons why there is nuclear pollution and nuclear waste water.

When he thought of this, Yan Yan couldn't help but feel that he had done a good thing by letting Yan Chunjun go to Yingzhou. Otherwise, there might have been a group of beasts in this world who only cared about small matters but not big principles and discharged nuclear waste water into the sea.

Therefore, Yan Yan did not believe that the wooden ox No. 1 created by the Mohists would be in perpetual motion.

It's just that ordinary people may not be able to see when its power is exhausted.

Yan Yan is skeptical about this.

However, whether it is perpetual motion or not, it actually has little impact on Bingzhou.

Bingzhou just needed a labor tool that could save manpower as much as possible, and didn't care whether it was perpetual motion.

As long as you can work, that's enough.

"Three seniors, this is not the place to talk. How about you come to visit my Honglu Temple in Bingzhou?" Yan Yan spoke.

Standing on the street will have a bad influence after all.

"We already have a place to stay!" Xiahou Wu tactfully rejected Yan Yan's proposal.

Although the Yanshi lineage lives in seclusion, it does not mean that they do not have their own channels and industries outside.

After all, doing scientific research is a waste of money.

Without industrial support, they would have starved to death long ago.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more!" Yan Yan glanced at Jing Ke.

He also knew that for those masters of mechanical engineering, the people they most wanted to see were the inheritors of Yanshi, and the people they least wanted to see were also them.

Jing Ke also understood Yan Yan's meaning in seconds, which was to let him take the person away secretly and not make it public so as to avoid being discovered. He could make a fortune in silence and also preserve the Mohist school's current position in the art of mechanical engineering.

"If the three seniors want to know the working principle of Wooden Ox No. 1, the best place to go is my Mohist Mechanical City. There is the most detailed record list of the manufacturing process, and there are enough manpower and tools to dismantle Wooden Ox No. 1 or re-test it."

Jing Ke spoke up and tried to win over the three people.

As long as a gag order is issued to the Mohist disciples, the news of the emergence of the Yanshi lineage will not spread, and the existing pattern of the various schools of thought will not be broken.

"Okay, the Mohist Mechanical City was moved out of the Central Plains and rebuilt. We are also curious about how it is different from the previous Mechanical City!" Xiahou Yang nodded.

The original Mohist Mechanical City was hidden in the mountains and built against the mountain. The terrain there was peculiar, with steep cliffs and deep valleys within a radius of hundreds of miles, which was very difficult to climb.

Below is the rapidly rushing river, with hidden reefs and rocks everywhere. Ships sailing there often run aground and are destroyed, with people dying.

What is even more peculiar is that there is an unpredictable sea of ​​clouds there, and the weather is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, which often makes people lose their way in the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The internal power is water. The mechanical city is full of traps inside and outside, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It was built by successive masters of the Mohist school over a period of more than 300 years and is also known as "the paradise on earth" and "the magical land beyond the sky". Even the Yanshi lineage could not achieve such a masterpiece.

Especially the four great mechanical beasts of the Mohist school, which are better than their original ones. Even the Yanshi lineage has not been able to understand all of them, especially the Azure Dragon, the most mysterious of the four mechanical beasts.

"Today's Mohist Mechanical City is no longer located in the deep mountains and ravines!" Jing Ke said with a smile.

The grassland is endless and the terrain is open and flat, so it is very difficult to hide.

Not to mention a city.

As for the original mechanical city, it was built by the Mohists in order to leave themselves a retreat route in order to avoid war.

Now that there is no war in Bingzhou and the world is at peace, it is natural that they do not want to hide anymore.

"Not in the mountains and ravines?" Xiahou Wu, Xiahou Yang and Xiahou Ke were surprised.

Aren’t Mohists afraid of death?

If they don't hide, and wait until the time comes when the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked, and the birds are all gone and the bows are put away, then the Mohists will not have an easy time.

"Today's Mohist Mechanical City is a peculiar piece of land purchased from Bingzhou. The land is very large, with mountains, gullies, desert hills, and it is a place with complex terrain. In the past, no people were willing to live here. However, it is very suitable for Mohist research, so the Mohist family paid to buy it from Bingzhou. After some renovations, one can see the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter on the same day." Jing Ke explained with a smile.

Mohist instruments, whether for civilian or military use, must be adapted to different terrains and climates. Therefore, such a unique place with various terrains and climates in four seasons is most suitable for Mohist scientific research.

"So good?" Xiahou Wu and the other two were not laymen who knew nothing.

They know many things better. Theories are just theories. Once they are created, they have to go through the test of time and mountains and rivers.

According to Jing Ke, this place was born to be an experimental site for mechanical engineering.

Why did the Yanshi lineage hide in the Taihang Mountains? It was because the Taihang Mountains are high and deep, and the four seasons can be distinguished at different altitudes, which is suitable for their experiments.

"Let me tell you, the climate is different at different altitudes. To be specific, for every thousand meters the mountain is higher, the temperature drops in a regular and feasible manner!" Xiahou Ke held Jing Ke's hand and told him about their achievements.

"I know. My Mohist family made a thermometer using mercury and glass. We sent people to different places to verify it. When the mountain is one thousand meters high, the temperature will drop by six degrees." Jing Ke said with a smile.

"Mercury?" The three Xiahou family members were stunned for a moment, then they suddenly realized.

"Yes, mercury is the most stable, and its volume will expand and contract with changes in temperature. Why didn't we think of it?"

The three of them understood it immediately and were able to figure out the principle of the mercury thermometer.

"Over the years, our Mohist school has been constantly innovating and has produced many new and strange things!" Jing Ke continued.

The three members of the Xiahou family also became interested.

"They seem to understand what Jing Ke wants to express!" Yan Yan touched his nose.

What Jing Ke said was actually pointing at the Yanshi lineage. You were once very glorious, but the Mohist school came later and surpassed them, and you cannot let the Yanshi lineage control you.

However, it seemed that these three people were a little naive and did not understand Jing Ke's subtext at all.

Jing Ke was also annoyed. He thought that his lack of emotional intelligence was cruel enough, but there were actually people who were even more cruel.

"Let's go, let's go. After so many years, we are also very curious about what new things the Mohist School can create!" The three of them carried Jing Ke and were about to go see the Mohist School's latest mechanical creation.

Jing Ke could only give Yan Yan an awkward and apologetic look before being carried away by the three men.
