Tao Shaozhang brought back more than 4,000 people, and he returned with his chest high, like a general returning from a great victory, with high spirits.
My uncle's luck has always been unlucky. There were so many people in the vanguard army, and they were divided into dozens of groups. They were chasing them all the time. Only the number of people chasing my uncle was the least. There were less than 2,000 slaves in the army, and they didn't even look at the tail lights.
We arrived, walked around a lot, rested outside for half the night, and then came back without any surprises.
Chu Qing didn't go to pick him up, but went to Ruishi Camp to see the car that Cuiyu mentioned, and he was filled with anticipation.
Chu Qing used to call Cuttlefish Lao Mo or Old Man, but now they call him Mr. Mo because even he knows the name of the Mo family.
Although when he first met Cuiyu, Cuiyu said "I am the Mo family", Chu Qing didn't think about it at all.
It was during the Warring States Period when the Mohist family shined, and the first Mozi appeared out of thin air. This was very similar to the time traveler. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he brought scientific ideas to the people at that time that were far ahead of that era.
, thus establishing the Mohist school.
From the perspective of later generations, the Mohists were just like that at that time, but if you refer to the physical level at that time, it is undoubtedly astonishing.
According to the records in "The Book of Mozi", once the Chu State was preparing to defeat the Song State, King Chu Xiang invited Lu Ban, who was already famous all over the world at that time, to build an offensive weapon with large-scale destruction for them.
The city tools are either washing powder or siege engines.
At that time, Mozi was unwilling to let Chu conquer Song, so he traveled thousands of miles to Chu alone and made a sandbox. With the help of this sandbox drill, he had a one-on-one PK with Lu Ban.
In this simulated battle, Lu Ban took out all kinds of siege equipment he had made, and used them all, such as ladder chariots, catapults, and repeating crossbows. His eyes were red, and he was unable to break through Mozi.
In defense, in the end, all Luban's siege methods were used up.
As a result, Mozi told him, little brother, Brother Mo, I haven't even used 30% of my strength.
In this way, Mozi achieved a crushing victory in the sand table deduction and finally prevented the war.
You must know that at that time Luban claimed to have mastered the most advanced manufacturing technology in the world, but in front of the Mohists, Boros faced the bald devil. Once the devil became serious, he had no power to fight back.
Not only the equipment for attacking and defending the city, but mainly the scientific concepts of Mohism, which were far beyond the understanding of the times.
Not to mention the Warring States Period, looking around the world, the first person to distinguish the mass of objects from gravity should be Mozi.
Mozi clearly mentioned in the "Jingshang" that force is the cause of the accelerated motion of objects. He also pointed out the equivalent relationship between force and gravity, completely correcting people's misconception of confusing gravity and mass.
In the West, Galileo's and Newton's laws of mechanics were more than two thousand years later than Mozi's.
The most awesome thing is that Mozi also proposed the relative relationship between time and space in the "Mo Jing", clearly stating that "time and space" itself is an inseparable concept.
This theory is very similar to Einstein's theory of space-time relativity.
Therefore, Chu Qing always suspected that Mozi was also a time traveler, bringing some things from later generations, knowledge that the ancients could not understand, to the Warring States Period, and thus applied them to various specific fields.
The lever principle, atomic theory, geometric algebra, and the linear propagation of light are all more or less clearly documented in Mohist works.
"Mencius and Teng Wengong" mentioned a sentence called "The words of Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai filled the world. If the words of the world do not belong to Yang, they belong to Mo." This means that the two most awesome schools in the Warring States Period, the powerful school, were Yang
Zhu's Taoism and Mo Zhai's Mohism are among the hundreds of scholars, and the others are all small ones. No school can compete with Taoism and Mohism.
It can be seen from this that, unfortunately, Mohism disappeared in history in the end. Just imagine, if Mohism had been carried forward and continued to this day, even if it only slightly changed the political philosophy at that time, even if it only lasted for three to five hundred years, it would have given the same influence as Confucianism.
If the rulers flatter themselves, or only provide technology without mentioning political ideas, then the so-called industrial revolution will not happen in the West, but will be led by the East, even hundreds or even thousands of years earlier.
There is also the principle of leverage, which is also more than 200 years earlier than the West.
Unfortunately, this is also the tragedy of the Mohists. The rulers accepted their technology and were ecstatic, but did not accept their political ideas. Mohist ideas could not fit with the inner needs of the rulers. Then, there was no more. Mohists
It just declined.
The Mohists also use their own experience to tell the world that in most cases, being technically competent is of no use, and being a licking dog and flattering is the way to go. So now that Confucianism is blooming everywhere, the Mohists...are left with an old man and a group of people living on the island.
The son of a fool.
In any case, now that Chu Qing knows about this, he will definitely not let the Mo family disappear into the dust. It is precisely because of this that he is full of expectations and is ready to reward the cuttlefish with another 500,000 gold at any time.
As a result, when he arrived in front of the so-called Ji car, Chu Qing raised his head: "Is this a Ji car?"
Cuiyu's face was full of pride: "Yes, Ji Che, Mo family Ji Che."
Chu Qing: "Wow~~~"
Fu San raised his head and made a pertinent comment: "Isn't this just a catapult?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Qing glared at the third brother: "This is a catapult covered with iron."
The cuttlefish blew his beard angrily and stared.
Yes, in one sentence, a projection vehicle covered with iron sheets is enough to give an accurate description.
The appearance is basically not much different from a trebuchet, but it uses a lot of metal iron tools. It is a bit like an enlarged bicycle frame. It is about five meters high. Although there are many differences in details, it cannot be denied that this is a bag.
Iron covered catapult.
Seeing the disappointed look on Chu Qing's face, Cuiyu shouted urgently: "You can throw heavy stones more than three feet high."
Chu Qing was even more disappointed: "Three feet, just about ten meters, is there any use for it?"
"A shooting range of two hundred to three hundred steps." Cuiyu patted the base of the borrowed car and smiled slightly: "It's awesome."
Fu San took a breath: "It is indeed a divine weapon."
The cuttlefish laughed.
Fu San showed admiration on his face: "Tomorrow, I will ride on horseback to look for the Golden Wolf King Khan and ask him to bring hundreds of thousands of troops to within a hundred steps of the wall. Gather them together and let this borrowed car drive them.
They caught them all in one fell swoop.”
Cuttlefish: “…”
Chu Qing laughed heartily, and after he finished laughing, he expressed contempt.
What's the use of this thing? After all, it's for city defense, and it has to be fixed on the city wall. It's not enough to do that. It consumes so much metal. It's better to let the soldiers hold the divine arm.
The crossbows shot down one by one.
Cuiyu snorted slightly: "Do you think borrowing a car is just for throwing rocks?"
Fu San asked in confusion: "What else can I vote for?"
Cuttlefish: "Fix the soldiers on it and throw them out to kill the enemy."
Fu San was stunned for a moment: "Then one of my own is also dead, isn't it?"
"If you want to destroy your mother, of course you are not throwing yourself into someone else or throwing yourself into charcoal fire!"
