Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 476 Pit Depth 097 Meters Second Trial (7)
She has only read the information about these things, but has never seen them in person.

The south corner where Fang Jiran is located is a water pump used for water conservancy. It looks a bit like an agricultural water wheel, but the gears are more intimate than the water wheel. It also has a long wooden lever and a water tank, like For towing or irrigation use.On the east corner there is a pile of scattered logs and boards of different widths and thicknesses, but they are piled together in one big pile, and there are small sails, anchors, cables, ropes, etc. inside, which should be a kind of water boat.On the north corner, there is a sugar press that looks a bit like an industrial production line. It is simpler than later generations, but how to successfully squeeze sugar out of a bunch of parts is also a brain-testing thing.

From these alone, we can know that the mechanical ingenuity of the Mohist school is unrivaled in this era.

However, what was supposed to be a good thing has also turned into a bad thing.

She turned around silently and looked at the last corner—the west corner.

Then, she froze.There are gunpowder materials, including saltpeter, sulfur, plant ash, etc...

Do you want to be a firearm?

It seems that the test in this middle-level mechanism room has added a mechanical inspection of agriculture, industry, commerce, and soldiers. In addition, it is necessary to open the mechanism room within a limited time. It is much more difficult than being the boss in later generations.The bosses of later generations only need to move their hands and sign their names, and they can do everything else here.

Seeing that she was not moving, Fang Jiran turned around, "Why are you in a daze?"

Mo Jiu replied solemnly, "I don't know. Hey, with your ability, one-on-two, is it okay?"

"No problem." Fang Jiran lowered his head and continued to focus on the matter at hand.

But just when Mo Jiu was about to roll her eyes, she suddenly added, "It's impossible."

I didn't expect her to be so silent. Mo Jiu shrugged her shoulders, walked slowly to the east corner where the water boat was, sat down, fiddled with the wooden boards slowly, and said with a smile: "If I really don't help you , what are you going to do?"

Fang Jiran didn't answer, nor did he move his hands.

Her gaze was fixed on Zuo at the door of the organ room, without blinking for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Mo Jiu looked back at her.

Fang Jiran's voice was muffled, "Have you ever met a Luban lock with 64 pillars?"

Mo Jiu frowned, "Didn't you know the layout of the organ room earlier? You don't know?"

Fang Jiran was laughed angrily by her, and coughed, "Knowing that there will be arrangements doesn't mean I know how to arrange them."

Mo Jiu had unlocked the 36-pillar Luban lock in his previous life, but he had never encountered the 48-pillar lock.However, she once used the 3D animation simulation method to draw and study. The difference from the 36 columns is that there is an extra round of tenons.Seeing Fang Jiran staring anxiously at the wooden lock, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Let's settle the matter in front of me first, if the four mechanical platforms are not combined well, what Luban lock are you thinking about? But, I was thinking, I If you untie it and you don't, will people find out that I am stronger than you?...Will Fang Juzi be at a disadvantage in that way?"

Fang Jiran remained silent.

Time was running out, so Mo Jiu stopped talking and looked at the board in his hand seriously.There are no blueprints, only countless wood, tenons and planks, anchors, cables, sails and masts... It is much more difficult to assemble a tank boat like this than a jigsaw puzzle.Moreover, there are thousands of wooden boards, and to connect and tighten them without making mistakes, there is also a time limit, which requires not only time, but also experience and talent.Which piece of wood should be installed in which place, if you make a mistake once, or make a mistake halfway, you have to start all over again.

"Fang Jiran, this can't work." Mo Jiu got up suddenly, walked quickly in front of her, and squatted down, "We will do one by one, and we will solve it one by one. I will help you fix this water pump first, and then Make the next one." She picked up two wooden boards and connected them, and asked Fang Jiran to work on the other end, "Since it's a two-person team, we have to cooperate. When we cooperate, we can check for gaps and make up for omissions, and see where there are gaps." problems to avoid rework and wasted time.”

Fang Jiran nodded, "You are right."

"My words have always made sense." Mo Jiu was not humble either. He changed another board, aimed at the position of the tenon, inserted it into the wooden groove with a "crack", and raised his eyebrows when he saw them snap together tightly, "Speed ​​up." .There are three mechanical platforms. Especially the firearm at the back, I am somewhat interested."

Fang Jiran let out a muffled "hmm" and stopped talking.

The cooperation between the two was a little rusty at the beginning, but after a few more times, they gradually became proficient.One selection of materials, one slotting, you don't need too many words to know what the other party means.In a short time, the sugar press in the east corner, the water cart in the south corner, and the tank boat in the west corner were all completed, leaving only the last firearm.

"Make firearms in a short time, have you tried?" Mo Jiu slightly bent his lips.

"No." Fang Jiran replied calmly, "What about you?"

"No." Mo Jiu took the saltpeter and fiddled with sulfur, "However, whether we will or not, we can't be too fast."

"Oh?" Fang Jiran raised her head lightly.

"Because we are too fast, we will be targeted." Mo Jiu seemed to be smiling: "Firearms are not side effects, they can kill people, and gunpowder can also explode. Let's do it neatly, will it? Being robbed to do hard work? The kind that doesn’t give you any money and is beaten and scolded all day long?”

She was smiling but not smiling, Fang Jiran looked at her quietly, as if she was mistaken.

There are some things that are less refined and safer.

She smiled, "You are like a monkey. Why do you need someone to protect you?"

This sentence caught my ears, and it was inexplicably weird. Mo Jiu looked at her lightly, "Who is protecting me?"
