The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 884 Stubborn Old Man

Fang Yun used to only read the books of the Gongjia, and did not know the actual development of the Gongjia. But as he got to know the operation of the workshop in depth and communicated and learned with the front-line workers, Fang Yun found that the technology of the Gongjia was far more advanced than he imagined.

Shengyuan Continent is not the ancient China. There have always been Gongjia people in the ancient China, but they were not valued and had a low status. Some technologies were recorded in the books because they were sorted out by knowledgeable officials.

Shengyuan Continent is different. The Gongjia has developed and grown from the Luban family and the Mozi family. It is one of the strongest hundred schools under the Confucianism of the human race. Even the Mohist school is considered to be part of the Gongjia.

If an excellent Gongjia scholar wants to make money, he can join others to open a workshop. If he wants to be an official, he can serve as the Minister of Industry at the highest level, and even have the opportunity to reach the phase. If he takes the path of sainthood, he can eventually become a saint, and there are quite a few semi-saints in the Gongjia.

It is precisely because Gongjia scholars have channels for advancement that Gongjia has a higher status and is motivated to develop various technologies.

However, the Gong family is not omnipotent. Many years ago, it was not the mechanism technology that constrained the Gong family's power, but the power of the mechanism. The Gong family found many energy sources, but found that they were far from meeting the requirements of the Gong family. The mechanism driven by ordinary energy can be used for combat, but they are extremely heavy and inefficient.

So, after years of hard work, the Gong family finally overcame the technical difficulties related to moonstone, making moonstone a powerful mechanism power.

Ordinary moonstone is a consumable. It can be mined in the ancient land, the moon and the demon world. There are very few in the Shengyuan Continent and it has been mined out. High-grade moonstone can absorb moonlight and will become ineffective after repeated use for a long time.

As for the best among the moonstones, the moon phase god stone, it is the top god object. It can be used directly as a power source without any changes. It was used in the mechanism before the ordinary moonstone was developed, but the number was too small.

The semi-saint mechanism cannot be activated without the moon phase god stone, and the mechanism powered by the moon phase god stone will form spiritual intelligence over time and continue to strengthen. The physical strength is no less than that of the ordinary demon clan semi-saint.

According to legend, Mozi's Mohist Holy Court and Zhang Heng's Hun Tian Dong Yi were driven by the Moon Phase Divine Stone, which was extremely powerful.

In recent years, the human race has been studying the Moon Stone to improve its efficiency. After studying the application of the Moon Stone to the extreme, they began to continue to study the mechanical art.

In the first few days, Fang Yun did not show what he had learned, but further studied the skills of the craftsmen and found many problems. Some knowledge of the ancient Chinese country was completely inapplicable here, and some knowledge was particularly important but not discovered.

After many days of study, Fang Yun finally figured out a whole set of technologies related to textiles and understood the direction of improvement.

Fang Yun could not come up with too advanced technology, so he summarized the knowledge and experience of the craftsmen, and then came to a conclusion that was slightly ahead of this era. Although this process was not rigorous, Fang Yun knew that the result was correct.

After that, Fang Yun began to make partial but crucial modifications to the textile machinery, but he had knowledge but not enough practical ability. Fang Yun had to first propose theories and improvement plans, which would be discussed by the old workers in the workshop and the Gong family of Zhang Heng's family. When they were sure that there would be no major problems, they would work together to transform them.

The Gong family cooperated on the surface, but deep down they were very disgusted with Fang Yun, a non-Gong family, participating in the sacred mechanical art in their minds.

From ancient times to the present, Gong family members have had an arrogance that others cannot understand!

In the eyes of Gong family members, the thoughts of this world may be dominated by others, but the progress of the world is dominated by Gong family members.

As Gong family members gradually became stronger, the proportion of mechanical damage to monsters in Liangjie Mountain continued to increase. Some people even calculated that in terms of city defense, the role of Gong family members was second only to Bing family members, leaving other hundred families behind.

Especially in the middle and low-level battles, Gong family members played a great role in Liangjie Mountain. However, because Gong family members had developed too short a time, they were somewhat powerless in high-level battles, but Gong family members believed that they could be resolved in the near future.

The two sides had frictions during the cooperation process, especially an old student named Liu Yu had the most intense reaction.

This Liu Yu was just a student of a worker family. He was not a high-ranking scholar, but he was the most respected old man in the workshop of the county government, and his mechanical skills were very exquisite.

However, this kind of person did not have much real power. In terms of rank, he was not even from the ninth rank, and his rank was the same as that of an ordinary clerk. Fang Yun did not know how to determine his identity, so he could only regard this Liu Yu as the chief engineer of the entire county workshop.

Old student Liu Yu was very serious, but he was not against people. Whether in person or in private, he never criticized Fang Yun, but he was very picky about mechanical skills. Many times, Fang Yun had to explain the principles and examples clearly before he was allowed to make improvements.

But Liu Yu's mechanical skills left Fang Yun speechless. It was his existence that accelerated the improvement of the mechanism.

Fang Yun noticed the emotions of these workers, but did not say anything. On February 16, he started to improve the cotton ginning mechanism.

The cotton that had just been picked was called "seed cotton", which means cotton with seeds, and cotton ginning was to remove the seeds from the seed cotton to form lint cotton.

The main strength of Shengyuan Continent is concentrated on the research of combat machinery. This basic machinery is not taken seriously, resulting in the extremely low efficiency of the most basic cotton ginning machinery in the textile machinery.

However, even if it is not taken seriously, the wisdom of the workers is still there, so Shengyuan Continent has long appeared the "wooden roller cotton ginning machine" that was not available until the 18th century, and its efficiency is far superior to the original cotton ginning machine.

However, in Fang Yun's eyes, the wooden roller cotton gin was extremely backward, so he did not hesitate to make improvements and directly put into operation the more advanced "leather roller cotton gin", and just last night, the workers had completed the improvements overnight.

After the completion of the work last night, the stubborn old man Liu Yu also said in public that before the Tongsheng test in March, he would definitely take his grandson to kowtow in front of Fang Yun to get a taste of Wenquxing's talent, but he would never approve of the new cotton ginning mechanism!

The reason is that this is not an improvement led by the workers, so there must be problems!

Fang Yun smiled after knowing it.

On February 20th, it was time to inspect the cotton gin.

The carriage stopped in front of the cotton ginning workshop. Before Fang Yun got up, Ao Huang jumped out of the door and said angrily: "Stubborn old man, your brother Long is here! Today I will let you know what Fang Quanneng is!"

Fang Yun couldn't help laughing. Since he started to improve the cotton gin, Ao Huang and Liu Yu have been fighting and quarreling every day.

When Fang Yun got off the car, he saw an old man in a light blue boy's suit holding a Lu Ban ruler. The old man's clothes were stained everywhere, his hair and beard were messy, and there were a few bloodshot eyes. If you didn't look carefully, you would think he was an old beggar.

The stubborn old man Liu Yu glared at Ao Huang, straightened his neck and said: "Stop talking nonsense! You dragons can call the wind and rain, but you are nothing when it comes to machinery! Don't pretend to be powerful and embarrass Fang Xusheng!"

"You old man, wait! If the cotton ginning machine today is better than yours, I will stuff your mouth with the newly ginned cotton and make you lose your mouth!" Ao Huang said.

"It's a leather roller cotton ginning machine!" Liu Yu glanced at Ao Huang with disdain.

Ao Huang was furious, and Fang Yun said: "Look at him! Look at him! Bullying dragons!"
