The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2642: Sound that Shocks the World

Everyone present either used Lu Ban's ruler or concentrated their talents in their eyes, carefully observing every part of the new spinning machine.

Everyone came to the same conclusion that this spinning machine did not contain any other power, it was just an ordinary mechanism, and Fang Yun did not use his talents to control it.

In the end, they stared blankly at the endless cotton turning into fine yarn and winding into a ball.

Forty spindles were operating at the same time, and their efficiency far exceeded any spinning tool present. Only the large water-powered spinning wheel could be compared, but not much more.

Watching the spinning machine continuously forming forty yarns, all the craftsmen felt that something was broken in their hearts.

Compared with the spinning machine in front of them, the previous spinning wheels, whether hand-cranked or foot-operated, were simply garbage.

The great scholars of Haiya were stunned in place, their minds were blank.

They were good at calculating and experienced. Just a few days ago, they racked their brains to prepare various plans and plans. As long as Jing Lan succeeded in suppressing Fang Yun, they would do everything they could.

But now, they can only hold back most of their means.

Even though most of the Haiya scholars are not scholars of the engineering family, they can clearly realize through comparison that the spinning machine in front of Fang Yun is definitely a groundbreaking product of the human race, and it will inevitably lead to a major change in an industry.

Dang!

A crisp sound awakened everyone, and the mechanical bell under Fang Yun's feet rang once.

Then, the bell sounded like a storm.

Dangdangdangdangdang...

Not only the three examiners at the Tongsheng venue were using their strength to ring the bell, but all the examiners at the other venues, even the chief examiner Zhao Qianzhang who would not have personally taken action, were sending power to Fang Yun's mechanical bell.

The mechanical bell under Fang Yun's feet has never stopped since the second ring!

Because the examiners sent too much power into it, it was enough to make the mechanical bell ring for three days and three nights!

When the small mechanical bell kept ringing, the big bell of the Institute of Engineering also rang as everyone expected.

Next, everyone pricked up their ears and looked towards the direction of the Shushan God Craftsman Hall in the north of Shu City, quietly waiting for the sound of the master bell of the God Craftsman Hall.

Not long after, a shocking bell sounded, spreading throughout the industry.

Then, the bell rang again.

Three times, four times.

The main bell rang four times, and the big bell rang once, which meant five promotions in the civil service, surpassing Jing Lan before.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun with envy, which meant that Fang Yun would be able to be promoted directly from a student to a new university scholar in a short period of time!

However, many people did not give up listening because if the main bell rang again, Fang Yun would be able to become a university scholar of the first realm.

Ding!

Ding!

The main bell rang six times, and the sound shook the world.

The record held by Zhao Qianzhang in the industry was broken by Jing Lan, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, it was broken by Fang Yun again.

The mechanical bell under Fang Yun's feet was still dinging.

After a few breaths, cheers and applause like a tsunami rang.

Excited faces turned to Fang Yun, and pairs of eager eyes stared at Fang Yun. Everyone did not hide their inner excitement.

Jing Lan stood there, his eyes blank. He was completely ignored by everyone.

A half-moment hero.

A cloud flashed across Jing Lan's eyes, but then he took a deep breath to dispel the shadow in his eyes, bowed to Fang Yun, and said: "Congratulations Fang Yun, your original new spinning machine will bring great innovation to the textile industry of the entire human race. I admire you!"

A few Haiya scholars were very reluctant, but they had to show admiration, but more Haiya scholars gnashed their teeth.

One of them said, "Brother Jinglan, since things have gone beyond our expectations, let's use the backup means. Although Zhong Xiang may not be able to defeat him, his value should not be less than his. At least, we can slowly catch up with him later, instead of being completely suppressed by him."

Jinglan nodded, bowed to the three examiners who had already revealed their whereabouts, and said, "I am Jinglan, and I want to show you the second mechanism. But this thing is too big, it is a hydraulic mechanism, and it needs to be diverted into a river to work."

One of the examiners said, "In the tool mechanism competition, multiple mechanisms are allowed, but the final score can only be the highest one. I believe you understand. Wait a moment."

So, the examiner walked towards Zhao Qianzhang and whispered.

After a few breaths, Zhao Qianzhang nodded, and saw that the examination platform slowly split in two, revealing a huge passage.

Then, surging water flowed out of the passage, like a short river, and at the end was a well that collected all the river water.

The examiner returned to the platform and said, "You can improve the mechanism on site to adapt to the river water."

"Thank you, examiner!"

After saying this, Jing Lan calmly walked to the riverside, and then took out a large number of mechanism parts from the seashells, covering a large area.

Just as Jing Lan was about to assemble it manually, Zhao Qianzhang threw a glowing Lu Ban ruler in front of Jing Lan and said, "To save time, I will grant you the power of Lu Ban ruler. As long as you control it with your mind, you can let Lu Ban ruler help you assemble the mechanism. In addition to saving time, Lu Ban ruler will not play any other role. I hope you all know it."

The examiner originally had the power to slightly change the rules, and the craftsmen present also wanted to see the new mechanism as soon as possible, so no one objected.

Jing Lan was overjoyed and thanked Zhao Qianzhang. He connected his mind to Lu Ban ruler, and saw all the mechanism parts slowly float up. He was originally a great scholar and had his own Lu Ban ruler, but he couldn't use it now.

Then, he used only his divine thoughts to assemble all the parts together to form a huge water-powered spinning wheel.

Fang Yun's expression remained unchanged. Like the previous spinning machine, this water-powered spinning wheel also used Ning'an technology, and its details far exceeded the finished products of ordinary workshops.

The human race has been studying water-powered spinning wheels, but due to technical reasons, there has not been much breakthrough. Ordinary water-powered spinning wheels generally have at most fifty or sixty spindles, and require multiple people to operate, and the actual efficiency is lower than that of the Jenny machine.

However, Ning'an technology has not made up for the shortcomings of the water-powered spinning wheel, allowing the number of spindles of the water-powered spinning wheel to increase to more than one hundred.

Overall, the technical level of the water-powered spinning wheel is not as good as that of the Jenny machine, but the yarn that can be spun in the same time is still more than that of the Jenny machine, which is particularly suitable for large workshops.

After assembling the water-powered spinning wheel, Jing Lan selected several Haiya scholars to operate the water-powered spinning wheel together.

This large water-powered spinning wheel did not bring about a qualitative leap for the industry, but it did bring about a quantitative improvement, so many craftsmen were impressed.

"Today, there are so many talented people, and there is hope for the revitalization of our industry."

"The level of these two students is far higher than ours, which is really shameful."

"The two of them are really different. If I were an examiner, I would have no way to judge."

Amid the discussion of the crowd, the examiners also whispered.

As a result, except for the three examiners at the student meeting, the other examiners did not take action.

Because all examiners understand the difference between quality and quantity.

After waiting for a long time, everyone did not hear the mechanical bell next to Jing Lan, but they soon woke up.

Fang Yun's mechanical bell was still ringing, completely suppressing Jing Lan's bell!

Not long after, the big bell of the Institute of Technology rang, and then the main bell of the Godly Craftsman Hall rang.

In the end, the main bell rang four times and the big bell once, a total of five times, surpassing Jing Lan's previous achievements, and he could be promoted from a student to a newly promoted university scholar.
