As Su Fan left, Zhang Jiao also began to change. Zhang Jiao quickly absorbed a lot of the scientific and technological knowledge that Su Fan provided.
The first was the steam engine. Zhang Jiao was very curious about this, so he immediately arranged for someone to build it.
For him, this is actually very simple.
It only took him one day to roughly refine it, but he still arranged for people to imitate it.
After all, according to the senior's wishes, there will be fewer and fewer clever ideas in Kyushu in the future, and when the time comes, there will also be fewer and fewer extraordinary people like him.
In the future, Kyushu will enter the mortal era. If mortals want to build these machines, they can only rely on themselves.
So he arranged for his disciples to hire craftsmen to build it. These people spent more than ten days before reluctantly building it.
And it seems that the quality is naturally incomparable to him.
After all, the steel he extracted directly from the ore with real fire was of much higher quality than the steel produced by mortals.
"Master, what on earth is this?"
Ma Yuanyi looked at this behemoth with curiosity and couldn't help but ask.
"You can see for yourselves later"
Zhang Jiao smiled and shook his head. However, he arranged for a carriage to come over and quickly started the steam engine. With the roar of the steam engine, the gears were driven, and soon the horseless carriage was also driven by the steam engine.
, started.
"this?"
Ma Yuanyi's eyes widened.
He didn't feel any rune power at all about this thing, nor did he have any inspiration.
As Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, he has followed Zhang Jiao for the longest time, and now he has reached the realm of golden elixir.
In Kyushu now, he is also quite a master.
As long as he encounters an elite army of less than 10,000 people, there is no threat to him at all.
Moreover, he followed his master to practice the way of runes, but he was more interested in the rune-activated machinery.
Especially in these years, he has received a lot of inheritance from the Mohist family and created a lot of rune equipment.
However, these instruments require rune energy to activate, either from the inspiration of heaven and earth, or from the monk's true energy.
Now, just burning firewood made the carriage move, and he was very shocked.
Zhang Jiao saw his eldest disciple's face and stroked his beard with a chuckle.
He did not stop his eldest apprentice from liking the ink craftsmanship. After all, the inheritance he received also included some ink craftsmanship skills.
Especially the forging method of the flying boat, but before, it was difficult for him to build it alone. After all, the resources required for the flying boat were still huge.
Even though there are many landlords in Taiping Road today, it is still difficult to bear the burden.
He also knew how terrifying that kind of flying boat was. A third-level flying boat was enough to threaten a cultivator in the God Refining Realm.
Back then, Great Qin built a flying boat that could cover the sky and the sun.
Liu Han did not inherit Da Qin, but he also received part of the inheritance. He knew that there were several flying boats like this in the Liu Han royal family.
It's just that the energy source needed for flying boats is very precious, and Jiuzhou's inspirations are becoming less and less, so these flying boats have naturally become decorations.
After all, instead of relying on the inspiration of heaven and earth, if it were driven by the true energy of the monks, a third-level flying boat would require at least hundreds of golden elixir monks.
Since Zhang Jiao has been practicing Taoism, he has met no more than thirty Jindan monks. Most of them live in seclusion deep in the mountains and forests. After all, the spiritual power in those places is relatively strong.
The skills of Mo Gong are not only used in the military, but also complement each other in local areas, especially agriculture. Waterwheels, etc., can all use Mo Gong.
It's just that the current Liu Han Dynasty doesn't care at all.
Zhang Jiao is also aware of the power of the combination of runes and ink, but now he understands that in Kyushu in the future, the spiritual power will completely dissipate, so in Kyushu, extraordinary beings will not be born, only mortals.
This requires the technological approach mentioned by the senior.
That is, the Mohists of the Mohist family.
"Yuan Yi, you have also seen that this instrument can be activated without the magical power of Fu Dao. This is also the art of ink work. If you like ink work, continue to study it in the future."
Zhang Jiao has never been dissatisfied with his disciples who like Mohist things. He teaches his disciples as he pleases. Whatever the other disciple likes, as long as he can teach it, he will teach it seriously.
And now, it can be considered an unexpected surprise.
His apprentice is not bad at ink craftsmanship, but what he studied before was the combination of ink craftsmanship and runes, which was inherited from Great Qin.
The Mohists at that time were indeed studying that kind of thing. After all, the extraordinary was the norm at that time.
But things are different now. In Kyushu, mortals are the norm, so all future equipment must be made by mortals, and the way of runes can only be abandoned.
After all, rune instruments require extraordinary people to build them.
"Teacher, I do"
Ma Yuanyi was a little excited in his heart. Although he still couldn't understand the principle of the device in front of him, with his wisdom, he could also see some things.
It is the steam released after the water is boiled that pushes the piston.
Once this power is used, many things in the world can be promoted.
This is the power of mortals.
Ma Yuanyi couldn't help but said in his heart.
"Haha! Since you are willing, I will leave this to you, and then I will give you another task, which is to discover and train ink masters."
His disciples have been with him for a long time and a short time, like Ma Yuanyi, for more than a hundred years.
He is his eldest disciple, and some of the other disciples are interested in the art of war, while others are simply interested in medicine.
Although the inheritance he received is from Taoism, the scope of Taoism's general inheritance is very broad.
It can even involve hundreds of schools of thought.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought in those days, it can be said that there was me among you, and you among me.
The exchanges between each other were quite extensive, but now Liu Han only respected Confucianism and Taoism and suppressed hundreds of schools of thought, causing hundreds of schools of thought and technology to slowly dissipate.
Only a few people have the skills of Mohism.
Zhang Jiao has no interest in Mohist academics. In his opinion, non-public love is simply unrealistic.
The same was true for his eldest disciple, but he was still very impressed by the Mohist technique.
It's just that after training, he can't end up personally. He still has more things to do. Naturally, he will leave this matter to his eldest apprentice. Anyway, his eldest apprentice also likes these things.
It is also most suitable to leave it to him.
Moreover, Ma Yuanyi has been with him for the longest time and has already left his profession.
Many are suitable, and he has also replaced himself to guide and train the Taoist boys in Taiping Dao. Therefore, it is naturally not a problem to train Mohists now.
And he will need more manpower in the future, especially since talents are hard to come by. It would be too slow for him to train them alone. ()
