Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chapter 137 Mohist School, Ji Wuchen

Under the leadership of Kou Ping, Ma Zhan heads to the next stop of the second level, Mohism.

Along the way, Confucian disciples kept saluting Ma Zhan, and he could only awkwardly return the greeting with a fist salute.

Kou Ping did not object to this.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of not understanding Confucian rules in the Confucian lecture hall, Ma Zhan took the initiative to ask about the etiquette and rules of Mohism.

Kou Ping still answered every question asked by Ma Zhan.

Although Kong Hyo-hyun took advantage of him, Ma Zhan was still recommended by the military strategist, and the label of a military strategist had long been deeply imprinted on him.

Mohism is widely distributed in this world, and can be found in all ethnic groups and countries.

There are also many branches of Mohism, but their research directions and camps are different.

Nowadays, the Mohist school has two major branches, or research directions.

One side is mainly composed of skilled craftsmen, who mainly research tools and equipment.

One side is mainly composed of knights, whose main purpose is to quell the war in the world.

The two branches are not clear-cut, and it is a state of you in me and me in you.

The main reason is that Mohism has a unified ideology of universal love and non-aggression.

After analyzing the data a few days ago, Ma Zhan felt that the Mohists did not pay much attention to those in power, but were more inclined to the common people.

This made Ma Zhan feel very favorable towards the Mohist school, so Ma Zhan brought a lot of things to the Mohist school.

The crystallization of the technology tree in the previous life requires a strong industrial foundation to support it.

Ma Zhan could only bring things that are common in life and that he and Jingfu could make.

A burst of cheers came from a stream beside the Mo family workshop.

The new waterwheel made by Mohist disciples was a success in the experiment. As the waterwheel turned, a new irrigation tool was born.

Ma Zhan, who was standing not far away, saw the shortcomings of the waterwheel at a glance.

Then he shouted, "Stay away from that water truck."

Ji Wuchen, the second senior brother of the Mo family, looked at Ma Zhan suspiciously.

"A Taoist?"

Ma Zhan said anxiously, “I am a Taoist, and I have come up from the river.

Let's hurry up, I have to deal with the next one after I finish you off."

"Who gave you the courage to discuss Mohism..."

"You dare to shout in my Mo family's territory..."

"You are so arrogant, Second Brother, I'm going to take his head..."

Kou Ping thought he was in trouble.

"Can you please go somewhere else, you kid? Do you think you can mess with the Mohist people?"

A group of shirtless men shouted and waded through the river aggressively. They had just climbed ashore and taken a few steps when they heard a "crack..."

"Waterwheel..."

Ji Wuchen reacted quickly, shouted loudly, turned around and used one hand to force the waterwheel to stop turning.

Then use both hands to keep the waterwheel stable and gently lower the waterwheel, which is more than ten meters high, to the ground.

"My horse..."

Jixia Academy is really full of masters. People with such skills are still busy serving the farmers all over the world. Ma Zhan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Ji Wuchen.

The Mohist disciples also realized that the Taoist was using provocation to lure everyone away from the waterwheel with good intentions.

Although it was unnecessary, he still looked at Ma Zhan with gratitude.

Ji Wuchen clasped his fists and bowed to Ma Zhan.

"The Taoist is truly extraordinary. He saw long ago that there would be problems with this waterwheel. I admire him."

Ma Zhan walked forward to take a look at the waterwheel, which was more than ten meters in diameter. The workmanship was really fine, and the mortise and tenon structure was full of details.

The fixing rod connecting the waterwheel to the base is obviously made of special material.

The damaged part was the part of the waterwheel that was connected to the sturdy fixed axle.

Such a huge waterwheel generates too much friction, and the original waterwheel structure is not enough to support its rotation.

Ma Zhan asked.

"Mr. Ji, why don't you carve a battle array pattern on the waterwheel?"

Ji Wuchen smiled and said: "Haha~ The Taoist was born in a marquis's mansion, but he doesn't know the hardships of the common people.

Even if all the farmers in a county earned ten years’ worth, they wouldn’t be able to hire a pattern artist to carve patterns on a waterwheel.”

Ma Zhan's face flushed. "How ignorant! Just like someone in my past life couldn't tell the difference between wheat and leeks. How shameful."

Ma Zhan said awkwardly.

"Um...Mr. Ji, I have a way to solve this problem."

Ji Wuchen looked at Ma Zhan suspiciously.

“How to solve it?”

Ma Zhan took out a simple model from his storage bag.

"Bearings."

While at the Duke of Qi's mansion, Ma Zhan analyzed the intelligence of the Mohist school at the Jixia Academy.

The Mohist school had two branches in the Jixia Academy, or two representatives.

One is surnamed Ji and the other is surnamed Gongshu.

The eldest brother Gongshu Geng has not been in the academy for a long time. Currently, the Mohist School in the academy is led by Ji Wuchen.

Ji Wuchen originally belonged to a branch of Mohist knights. He was a kind-hearted person who cared about the people of the world.

Although he was not as good as his elder brother Gongshu Geng in manufacturing, he was more inclined to make practical tools, mainly farming tools.

With the help of Jingfu, Ma Zhan made a simple bearing model.

Presumably with this hint, Ji Wuchen would have no problem making practical bearings.

The moment he saw the bearing, Ji Wuchen felt enlightened, and the difficult problem in his mind was instantly solved.

He twisted it gently and watched the small iron bead in the middle rotate.

He was like a child who finally got his favorite toy.

Ji Wuchen put his arm around Ma Zhan’s shoulders.

"Brother, you are really amazing. You can change sliding into rolling and use it this way."

'Damn, you even know how to change sliding into rolling. You must have studied physics.

I only learned this concept when I was in junior high school. Are you Mohists so advanced?

I felt a little embarrassed when a shirtless, burly man hugged my shoulders.

"Brother, be gentle, my shoulder hurts."

Ji Wuchen withdrew his hand awkwardly and smiled foolishly.

"Sorry, brother, I'm excited, excited."

"Even the indestructible diamond can't withstand your strength."

Ma Zhan rubbed his painful shoulder and said, "Brother, there are a few more things. It's not too late to get excited after you see them."

Ji Wuchen was as happy as a 200-pound child at this moment.

"Brother, what good stuff do you have? Open my eyes..."

Ma Zhan found a clean stone slab, placed a few things on it in order, and patiently explained them to Ji Wuchen.

Screws are used instead of nails in some places and are more secure.

If it is loose, you can stuff it with fillers such as wood chips and use it again.

Screwdrivers, at present, are mainly used with screws, but they also have other uses. You can explore them yourself.

Nuts and nuts are used together.

However, the production of the thread mouth is relatively complicated, so it depends on your craftsmanship.

Wrench to fit nuts and caps.

Fold, also called hinge.

It can replace the door hinge and fix the door in place.

Pulleys, when used in conjunction with bearings, will have better results. . .

When Ji Wuchen saw these crudely made and oddly shaped things, he felt just like Ma Zhan seeing a beautiful woman. The light in his eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing Ji Wuchen playing with his beloved thing with reluctance, Ma Zhan couldn't help but remind him.

"Um, big brother. My discussion about the Dao..."
