My Confucian Father

Chapter 37 The essence of supernatural power is throwing stones
In order to divert Zhuge Bin's attention, and at the same time let him know what the real mechanism technique is like, Su Mu decided to teach him a good lesson.

"A real mechanism technique? Brother Mu, what are you talking about? Isn't what I learned is the authentic mechanism technique?"

Zhuge Bin said with a puzzled look on his face.

Their Zhuge family is from the Momen family, and the forging and mechanism techniques in their hands are the purest.

Now Su Mu asked him if he knew what the real mechanism technique was, which made him a little confused.

Tao An glared at him: "Don't force me, you just listen to what Brother Mu says, what are you doing with so much nonsense?"

At this time, Su Mu organized his words in his heart.

It is really difficult to let Zhuge Bin break away from the thinking limitations of traditional mechanism techniques without revealing the knowledge of previous lives, and there are many things that cannot be said.

I have accidentally exposed the bicycle before, and now I need to be more cautious. After much deliberation, Su Mu decided to start from the cognitive aspect to help Zhuge Bin broaden his horizons.

"Abin, what do you think mechanism art is?"

Su Mu asked a question, but he stopped Zhuge Bin directly.

What is mechanism?
This question seems very simple, but if you really want to answer it, it makes people feel a little confused. Isn't mechanism technique just mechanism technique?What else can it be.

Zhuge Bin didn't know how to answer, and Su Mu didn't give a shit, and said directly: "The mechanism technique is actually very simple, it is a technique that changes the way things work."

"For example, a stone, we can throw it with our hands, or we can throw it with a catapult."

"The stones thrown by the catapult are bigger and fly farther. This is very different from throwing by hand, but its essence is still just throwing stones."

"It's just that the catapult has changed its operation process to achieve the desired power and results; at the same time, what is thrown does not necessarily have to be stones, and can be replaced with other things. This is the mechanism technique."

Just like the essence of technology is to boil water, the reason is as simple as that.Primitives used their hands to throw stones, and later they used catapults, and later they used cannons and airplanes.

And the "stone" keeps changing, turning into iron, gunpowder, nuclear, hydrogen...

But in the end it was just throwing stones.

This is what Su Mu wants to say.

After listening to this speech, Zhuge Bin was thoughtful. He didn't fully understand what Su Mu meant, but he felt that he vaguely grasped something.

Su Mu said in a persuasive manner: "The weapons and magic weapons that you have created now are all prepared for monks."

"Why can't you focus on creating a powerful weapon that can be used by ordinary people? Isn't that what your sister thinks about?"

Zhuge Bin shook his head and replied: "It's impossible, the weapons made by mechanism techniques are too limited, after all, they are only ordinary weapons, and cannot hurt monsters or monks with profound cultivation."

"As for magic weapon, it needs a lot of real energy or other means to activate it. This has something to do with the realm of cultivation. How can ordinary people use it?"

It's not that Zhuge Bin didn't have such thoughts, but this is a conflicting thing.

Mechanism techniques can create weapons that ordinary people can use, but the upper limit is low and it is difficult to achieve success.

The powerful magic weapon needs a monk with a cultivation base to activate it and unleash supernatural powers, and ordinary people cannot use it at all.

Su Mu smiled slightly at this time and said, "Do you still remember what I said before? Let me ask you, is there any difference between a supernatural power dropped by a high-grade monk and a stone thrown by a catapult in essence?"

For a moment, Zhuge Bin felt a thunder flash across his mind, dispelling all his confusion.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!"

"I understand, hahahahaha! I finally understand! The magical power of a high-grade monk is throwing stones!"

Zhuge Bin seemed to have fallen into a madness, he couldn't stop laughing, his eyes were full of unparalleled excitement!
His madness attracted many students around him to look at him in surprise, as if they were looking at a madman.

Tao An was so startled by his appearance that he took a few steps back, and looked at Su Mu a little uneasy: "Brother Mu, what's wrong with Abin?"

"It's okay, don't bother him."

Su Mu knew that his guidance was successful, and Zhuge Bin understood what he wanted to express, and this is what he wanted.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Zhuge Bin was immersed in his own world, and excitedly said to himself: "Cultivators are like catapults, and the supernatural powers they use with magic weapons are like stones, but in different ways!"

"In this case, why can't I develop a weapon that can achieve the same effect?"

"That's right, the key lies in the true essence! Only by using the true essence to stimulate the magic weapon can a monk use such powerful supernatural powers."

"But true energy is spiritual energy! Why can't spirit stones be used instead of true energy? Isn't the formation method based on spiritual stones, then if the formation method and mechanism technique are combined..."

Zhuge Bin was trembling all over. After he figured it out for a moment, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world!
Endless whimsical ideas emerged in his mind, and he wished he could go back and implement them immediately, and put these ideas into reality!
"Brother Mu, you are so talented! You come to our Mo family, and I will ask my father to give you the position of Juzi!"

Zhuge Bin pulled Su Mu with a sincere look.

His admiration for Su Mu at this moment has reached an unparalleled level. If Su Mu's previous words hadn't awakened him, he would never have thought of this level!
It turns out that mechanism art can also be understood in this way, and it turns out that this is the real mechanism art!
"What is a husband?"

Su Mu was taken aback, he hadn't heard this word before.

Tao An explained in a timely manner: "It's this kind of brother Mu, who is talented, great, and genius, even more powerful than a genius, and Abin and I call it a husband."

The so-called talent is better than a genius.

The corners of Su Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said to the excited Zhuge Bin: "What do you say to repay the favor... These are all your ideas, and have nothing to do with me. I just said a little bit of my own thoughts."

"When people ask you in the future, just don't tell me, otherwise we won't be able to be friends."

What he talked about was some low-level logic, helping Zhuge Bin jump out of the thinking trap, guiding him to broaden his horizons, and he didn't reveal any knowledge about his previous life.

"This... Brother Mu, why are you doing this?"

Zhuge Bin couldn't understand why Su Mu was so low-key, and even said that if he leaked it, he would break off the relationship.

Before Su Mu could speak, Tao An said contemptuously, "What do you know? Brother Mu is indifferent to fame and wealth!"

"What use is a mere reputation to my brother Mu? It will only attract unnecessary attention and affect my brother Mu's study."

Yes, that's right, that's what I thought.

Su Mu readily accepted the reason Tao An said, pretending to be deep and said: "Fame and benefits are just false to me, and I don't care about them."

"Mechanism has great potential for discovery, Abin, you have to start with it, don't study that car or something, it's just a waste of time."

Having said so much, his real purpose is to make Zhuge Bin ignore the bicycle.

Zhuge Bin nodded again and again, and promised firmly: "Brother Mu, don't worry, I will never leak any news."

"Developing organ techniques is the way of my Mo family. Brother Mu is right. I shouldn't focus on those small things. It's a waste of time."

Thinking of how he used to be obsessed with tinkering with gadgets all day long, Zhuge Bin wanted to slap himself.

No wonder his father kept scolding him for being unlearned and incompetent, and now that he thought about it, he was right.

"You can understand."

Su Mu was very relieved that he finally convinced Zhuge Bin that he no longer had to worry about the bicycle leaking out.

As for how many things Zhuge Bin can research based on mechanism skills after being opened up, that's out of his control, and it has nothing to do with him.

Tao An watched enviously from the side. Although he couldn't understand what Su Mu and Zhuge Bin said, he also knew that Zhuge Bin had realized something extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

"Brother Mu also teach me? I also want to have an epiphany."

Tao An asked expectantly, thinking that Su Mu would also teach him two tricks, he was jealous seeing Zhuge Bin benefiting.

"you?"

Su Mu glanced at Tao An, pondered for a moment, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's enough to be iron mang."

What kind of epiphany does a vulgar soldier need?
Mang is done.

Tao An scratched his head when he heard the words, wondering in his heart what it meant to be iron-headed, and what it meant to be reckless.

He felt that Su Mu's words contained a lot of meaning.

……

After school at the academy, Zhuge Bin bid farewell to Su Mu and Tao An, and hurried home.

He couldn't wait to go home and practice, to verify the conjecture in his heart.

"The biggest flaw of traditional mechanism weapons is their low power. The only way to increase their power is to change the material used to make weapons."

"My Mo family's formation is based on spirit stones, which can make full use of spiritual power; if I add the formation to mechanism weapons and treat spiritual energy as real energy, will the mechanism weapons be able to unleash the power of magic weapons and supernatural powers?"

"In this way, even ordinary people can use it, just provide spirit stones!"

The more Zhuge Bin thought about it, the more excited he became. If his conjecture could come true, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented change for Momen!This is the opportunity for Momen's rise!

After returning home, Zhuge Bin didn't even eat dinner, and started tinkering after returning to his yard.

There is a small forge in his yard, which he usually uses to make parts himself.

After casually throwing a few spirit stones into the spirit-gathering array of the forge, Zhuge Bin activated the spirit-gathering array, and a cluster of pale flames immediately began to burn in the forge, exuding an astonishing temperature.

But all temperature and fluctuations are locked in the forging furnace, unable to escape.

This cluster of flames is a special spiritual fire, with extremely high temperature, which can easily melt any metal, and Momen disciples will use it to forge weapons.

Zhuge Bin put pieces of fine iron into the forging furnace, watched them slowly melt into liquid under the tempering of the spiritual fire, and then poured the molten iron into the prepared mold.

Before waiting for the weapon to condense into shape, Zhuge Bin grabbed a carving knife and carefully carved it on the weapon.

He wants to engrave the formation on the weapon, use the weapon as the carrier, use the formation as the vein, and guide the spiritual power to attach to it!
Only in this way can a power comparable to supernatural powers be erupted!

The carving knife in Zhuge Bin's hand was flying, and sparks were flying everywhere, but his expression was unprecedentedly focused and serious.

Not long after, a ferocious crossbow engraved with complicated patterns was born under his hands!
