In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

Although its true face is covered by black cloth, you can tell from its size alone that this thing is definitely not simple.

Gong Shuqiu waved his hands to those disciples.

After receiving the order, Gongshujia's disciples pulled a corner of the black cloth and pulled it off completely with a splash.

Two huge machine beasts were displayed in front of everyone.

One is blue-purple, looks like a lizard, and is equipped with a huge blade, which is used to crack mountains and crack rocks.

The other one is red and looks like a huge snake head.

Not to mention whether these two machine beasts can be used to help build canals, but Ying Zheng has already confirmed that they can be used to attack cities and demolish strongholds.

Especially the lizard machine beast, which looks like a master of battlefield charging at first glance, and is much more dangerous than that tank.

All the civil and military officials looked at the two machine beasts and opened their mouths in surprise.

Gong Shuqiu walked to the lizard machine beast and took the initiative to introduce it to Ying Zheng and others.

"Your Majesty, this mechanical beast is shaped like a lizard and has the ability to dig and move underground, so I call it a mechanical ground lizard. The other one is a mechanical snake, but it is not complete yet."

Ying Zheng frowned after hearing this.

"Why is it incomplete? Are there any flaws?"

Mr. Changping took advantage of the opportunity and raised some doubts.

Gongshuqiu smiled and shook his head: "The head of the machine snake is already so big. If the body of the snake is also connected, it will be dozens of feet long. I am afraid of disturbing the king, so I didn't do it." Put on the snake body.”

The giant mechanical snake, which is dozens of feet long and over a hundred meters long, makes people feel extremely small just by hearing about it.

But Ying Zheng was even more happy when he heard Gong Shuqiu's words.

This mechanism snake is used to transport materials, so naturally the bigger it is, the more things it can transport.

This is obvious.

Just like a horse pulling a cart, the bigger the body, the stronger the horse, the greater the strength of pulling the cart, and the more goods it can pull.

But Ying Zheng was still curious.

"How much supplies can this complete snake trap pull?"

Gong Shuqiu rubbed his hands and smiled.

"Back to the king, except for the head and tail, the snake's body has ten sections in total. Each section is three feet long. It is hollow inside and has a lot of space. It only needs one person to control it, and it can carry materials weighing five thousand stones. .”

This special design was not thought up by Gong Shuqiu, but by Bai Yuan.

The original mechanism snake was specially designed by Gongshu Qiu to target the mechanism white tiger, one of the four mechanism spirit beasts of the Mo family, for use in combat.

But Bai Yuan told him that it would be a pity if it was only used for fighting, and asked him to expand his thinking.

The mechanism snake was so huge, and it was segment by segment, which reminded Bai Yuan of the high-speed trains in later generations. Even this mechanism snake was even more technologically advanced than that.

If it is modified and part of the snake body is hollowed out, the Daqin High-Speed ​​Railway will not be restricted by railways and the like, and it will be easy to cross mountains and ridges. This mechanical snake can even move on water.

If anyone else had said this to Gongshu Qiu, Gongshu Qiu would have ignored him.

Transforming a powerful machine snake into a means of transportation does not conform to their concept of domineering machine arts.

But who let Bai Yuan be the one who made the suggestion? We cannot ignore the public’s loss of grudges.

Especially Bai Yuan's words, "Non-attack machine arts and domineering machine arts are both machine arts. In the final analysis, they both serve the same purpose by different paths and serve people. The difference lies in what purpose you want to achieve." But it directly woke him up and made him There is no need to worry about being overbearing or not overbearing with machine skills.

Just use it well!

Gong Shuqiu is worthy of being a master of mechanism skills.

He spent some time and thought carefully, and then tried to modify the mechanism snake, removing some of its destructive functions, but unexpectedly found that this idea had great potential.

This is how today's mechanism snake came into being.

Gong Shuqiu's answer was beyond the expectations of everyone present, causing the ministers to start talking about it.

"Five thousand stones! Are you kidding me?"

"One person and one mechanism snake can actually transport five thousand dan of supplies!"

You must know that five thousand stones is not a small number.

Take the transportation of grain and grass as an example. If it were transported by manpower, a baggage camp with thousands of people, plus hundreds of horses pulling carts, could only carry about a thousand stones of grain and grass.

And one such machine snake can actually reach 5,000 shi, which is equivalent to the transportation volume of five baggage camps.

This does not include the consumption of horse chews by people during transportation. Generally, a large part of the grain and grass transported is consumed on the road.

If it can be transported by a mechanical snake, then the mechanical snake does not need to eat, wouldn't it reduce a lot of consumption?

And the transportation speed will probably be faster.

Even building such a mechanism snake may cost a lot of money, but this is a once and for all solution!

The one-time cost, not to mention permanent use, is much more cost-effective than human transportation.

For a time, all the generals serving in the army, such as Meng Ao, Zhang Tang, Huan Jue and others, all had their eyes widened.

They had thought of this almost as soon as they heard Gong Shuqiu's answer.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but stepped forward and reached out to touch the red mechanism snake head, as if he was touching some treasure.

Compared with the mechanism lizard next to it, this mechanism snake has a wider range of uses, and it is obviously more valued by Ying Zheng.

"Five thousand stones, okay!"

Ying Zheng seemed to see that the prosperous age of Great Qin was coming.

Immediately, he turned around and waved his sleeves.

"Gongshu Chou, I want you to create at least ten, no, twenty, of these mechanical snakes in the shortest possible time! All expenses will be borne by the Qin Empire."

Hearing this, the face of Zhizunaishi, who manages the treasury's finances, turned green.

The head of the house doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive. Ying Zheng can simply say that this is a huge expense for him.

But everyone else looked excited, especially Ying Zheng, who had a determined attitude and a trace of irresistible majesty in his eyes.

Zhi Neishi could only grit his teeth and did not voice any objection.

Anyway, Ying Zheng only said that it would be produced in the shortest time, but he did not specify a specific time.

This leaves a lot of room for manipulation.

With enough money, enough manpower, and full efficiency, those few months may be the shortest time.

But when there is not enough money and manpower, there is nothing we can do if it takes a year and a half.

After all, he couldn't conjure money out of thin air.

Ying Zheng also knew the difficulties of governing Su Neishi, so he issued such a somewhat vague order.

Gongshu Chou immediately accepted Ying Zheng's order with a smile.

He knew that starting from today, they, the public losers, would completely ride on the chariot of Da Qin and have the most powerful backing.

Compared to the famous Mohist family, Gongshujia's life has not been very good these years.

And researching the mechanism technique is also very expensive. Now that he has Da Qin's support, he no longer has to worry about money in his research on the mechanism technique.

When the canal was built, he had done another great job.

After that, Ying Zheng issued another order.

"I've been told to send Gong Shuqiu to assist Zheng Guo in building the canal. The specific matters are with Zheng Guo as the main one and Gong Shuqiu as the auxiliary. The young governor must give his full support. Within three years, I will see that the canal is open!" "

Chapter 436: Senior brother is not that easy to be

After receiving Ying Zheng's order, Gong Shuqiu did not take office immediately. Instead, he first went to Taoist Taiyi Mountain to visit Bai Yuan.

He was able to be reused by Ying Zheng, all thanks to Bai Yuan's help.

More importantly, Bai Yuan helped him broaden his horizons, so that his mechanism skills were no longer limited to the difference between domineering and non-offensive.

This is truly valuable to Gongshu Qiu.

There are actually many directions in which mechanism techniques can be applied. Just focusing on those functions on the battlefield, whether offensive or defensive, seems very narrow.

Therefore, Gong Shuqiu pays more attention to his relationship with Bai Yuan.

Continuing to make good friends with Bai Yuan and bring the two parties closer would be of no harm to him.

At this time, Bai Yuan was listening to small songs in Biluo Villa, eating grapes peeled by Concubine Yan herself, enjoying the massage from Luna, and enjoying the dance performance carefully prepared by Xue Nu and others.

That's called a happy life.

At this time, he suddenly heard that Gong Shuqiu was visiting, and he subconsciously showed a disgusted expression.

However, he still stopped the snow girl and Yan Lingji who were performing hard.

Bai Yuan was a little unhappy to see the two of them, so he took their hands and rubbed them gently.

"It's time to get down to business. Let's save this dance for the evening. Dance for me when there's no one around!"

The two of them couldn't figure out what Bai Yuan meant.

Has this guy ever seriously watched their performance at night?

Every time they were halfway through the dance, he would run onto the stage and forcefully join the performance. Then the performance would be distorted by him, and he would play it a little differently every time.

Thinking of these embarrassing scenes, the snow girl couldn't help biting her lips, her face turned red, as if the cold snow goddess had fallen into the mortal world.

Yan Lingji looked at Bai Yuan with a provocative look, and licked the corners of her mouth seductively, as if she was inviting Bai Yuan to fight.

Yan Lingji took the initiative to hold Bai Yuan's arm and gently blew into his ear.

"Okay, we'll wait for you that night~"

Yan Lingji's voice was soft and soft, like a ball of cotton wool, gently tickling Bai Yuan's cochlea.

Just hearing this gentle voice is enough to make you feel overwhelmed.

Bai Yuan also liked Yan Lingji's voice the most. After listening to Yan Lingji sing this softly all night long, Bai Yuan would be full of energy and full of energy the next day.

But now was not the time for joking, so he could only temporarily hold back the heat in his heart that was aroused by Yan Lingji, and just kissed Yan Lingji and Xue Nu gently on their faces.

"I'll take care of you later in the evening."

Yan Lingji also knew the right thing to do, so she let go of Bai Yuan and let him go to meet the guests.

In the front hall of Biluo Villa, Bai Yuan arrived late.

Because Bai Yuan was late in coming, Gong Shuqiu was worried that he would come at the wrong time. As soon as he saw Bai Yuan coming, he quickly got up to greet him.

"I came here uninvited. I might have disturbed Master Bai Yuan. It's really a sin."

Bai Yuan waved his hand.

Now I feel that it is too late to blame him. Bai Yuan has already given up the performance and is too lazy to do anything to him because of this trivial matter.

"As far as I know, didn't Mr. Gongshu go to Xianyang with King Qin? Now he should be assisting Zheng Guo in building canals. How come you have time to come to me?"

Although Bai Yuan did not go out or take any steps during this period, he still understood what was happening in the outside world.

Anhe will send him a piece of intelligence every day, which records the recent events in Qin, and sometimes also includes some intelligence information from other countries.

Therefore, Bai Yuan is completely able to know the world's affairs without leaving home.

Bai Yuan also knew about what happened in Xianyang recently.

Gongshu Qiu smiled.

"Master is really great. In fact, I came here specifically to thank you. If it weren't for the master's guidance, I probably wouldn't have been able to develop this giant mechanical snake that can be used to transport supplies, let alone be reused by the King of Qin."

After saying that, Gongshu Qiu asked several disciples to carry over two large boxes, which were full of gold coins.

Bai Yuan just glanced at it and didn't take it too seriously.

"Mr. Gongshu is a little self-deprecating. Even if he hadn't recommended it to you, the Gongshu family's mechanical skills would have been put to good use by the King of Qin sooner or later. But it's a good thing that you can make some changes now."

Gongshuqiu nodded with a smile.

"Because of your words, sir, King Qin has ordered me to create twenty machine snakes in the shortest possible time. In the past, my father-in-law, the loser, would not be able to support such consumption."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Only twenty?"
