Chapter 86 Confused
Sima Lin finally woke up from a dream and quickly ordered the civilians to move the huge boulder in mid-air.
But the people had long been frightened out of their wits, and thought that the huge wooden frame was a thing of ghosts and gods.
Tang Qi, who can "drive" wooden frames, is regarded as the messenger of ghosts and gods.
No matter how much he shouted, he refused to come forward again.
Tang Qi was also helpless: "This is just a pulley block, just a force reduction device. What are you afraid of?"
However, not only the civilian husband, but also dozens of Wei Qing's guards also opened their mouths.
His eyes were wide open.
The ordinary wooden frame in front of me looked like a vicious beast with bared teeth, which was intimidating.
"How on earth is this done?"
"A boulder weighing several kilograms was lifted easily!"
"I heard that Mr. Tang is a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Could it be the legendary immortal technique?"
"It's terrible, how powerful this is!"
As for the force reduction device Tang Qi mentioned, no one believed it at all.
Didn’t you think we had never used a rope to lift heavy objects?
It's just a thick rope, it doesn't make it much easier at all. Doesn't it depend on your strength?
So Sima Lin's confused voice made the others move further away from Tang Qi in unison.
Who knows if that divine creature can eat humans?
Tang Qi's hands were almost bruised. It was not difficult to use the pulley, but the rope was rough!
And I didn’t wear gloves. No mortal body could withstand this.
"Are you going to move or not? If not, I will put you down!" Tang Qi said angrily, "Wei Qing, you are also a general after all, so you are also superstitious?"
Wei Qing laughed twice.
In fact, he was also frightened at the beginning, so he didn't move.
But I feel embarrassed to say this.
When Tang Qi shouted, he ran forward and pushed the huge boulder in mid-air to the foot of the mountain.
Because it was in mid-air and hung by a rope, it didn't take much effort.
"boom!"
Tang Qi let go of his hand, and the boulder smashed to the ground, causing dust to fly.
The earth-shattering noise and the huge crater on the ground proved that it was a genuine, unadulterated boulder!
"Da Nong Order, this, this..."
Sima Lin studied the family history of historians, and also paid attention to respecting ghosts and gods and keeping them at a distance.
Originally I didn’t believe in those godly things.
But when I saw Tang Qi using a rope to lift a heavy object easily, I was very frightened.
"Could it be that Da Nong Ling really knows magic?!"
"I told you it's just a technique." Tang Qi stepped aside and said, "You guys should try it too. It's actually nothing magical. To put it bluntly, it's very simple!"
Wei Qing doubtfully tied another boulder and followed Tang Qi's example and pulled it.
"Huh?"
Just like before, as the rope at the other end is continuously pulled, the boulder is slowly rising.
"It can indeed save a lot of effort!" Wei Qing said in surprise, "Anyone who can lift 50 kilograms of weight should have no problem!"
As a general who had to go to the front line thousands of miles to attack the Huns, Wei Qing was naturally very strong, and he was able to pull up the boulder with a gentle tug.
If it were an ordinary literati, it would probably still take a lot of effort.
But no matter how hard it is, if one person can lift a huge boulder, it is already an incredible achievement!
Sima Lin couldn't help being curious and gave it a try.
He was immediately surprised and said: "Really, the hand of Da Nong Ling can be said to be miraculous!"
As smart as Sima Lin and Wei Qing, they understood the moment they got started that this was indeed impossible to be a ghost.
It seems to be some kind of equipment.
Sima Lin asked curiously: "Is Da Nong Ling also proficient in Mohist techniques?"
Mohist's organ skills are famous all over the world, and they also made outstanding contributions during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Unfortunately, its knowledge was not popular with the rulers, was too divorced from reality, and easily affected social security, so it gradually declined.
Since today's emperor only respected Confucianism, the Confucian scholars who had always been at odds with the Mohists have been beaten down. By now, the Mohists are almost extinct in Chang'an.
The few who specialize in technology were also incorporated into the Shaofu and became "lowly" craftsmen.
Sima Lin himself had no prejudice against the Mohists, but in the imperial court where the Confucianists were in power, it was incredible that a Mohist could be appointed as the chief agricultural officer.
Although the Da Nong Order is not ranked high among the Nine Qings, it is still one of the Nine Qings!
It is very possible to compete for the prime ministership!
"If I have to say it, it is somewhat similar to the Mo family's organ skills."
Tang Qi briefly explained the principle of the pulley block to prevent these guys from being surprised.
The two felt that their three views had been subverted: "The principle is so simple?"
Not to mention Sima Lin, who was born into a serious noble family and had family education.
Even Wei Qing, who came from a humble background, had no serious contact with any other school of learning except for later entering the palace and studying the art of war with the emperor and Jianzhangying.
Just listen once and you will understand it quickly.
"Many things are that simple." Tang Qi said with a smile, "It's like making ice from saltpeter. It's not that magical, but few people can connect it."
"Saltpeter to make ice?" Sima Lin was confused.
Wei Qing then briefly told Sima Lin about going to Linyuan.
I just concealed the details of Gongsun Hong's loss in gambling to avoid irritating Sima Lin, who was in the civil service group.
Sima Lin was fascinated by what he heard, and finally sighed: "The world is ever-changing, and only people like Da Nongling can have a glimpse of it. I am so ashamed of myself!"
Tang Qi was also very emotional.
Just this stuff will fall into the scope of social practice courses for primary school students in later generations.
The traces of thousands of years of history are indeed very profound.
Tang Qi felt something in his heart and couldn't help but recite a poem on the spot.
"A rich family doesn't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of grains of millet in books."
“You don’t need to build a tall building to live in peace, there is a golden house in the book.”
"Don't regret having no one to follow you when you go out. There are so many carriages and horses in the book."
"Don't hate an unscrupulous matchmaker when marrying a wife. There is a beauty like jade in the book."
"If a man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, he should study the classics diligently and read them by the window!"
“What a poem!”
Sima Lin and Wei Qing listened leisurely and fascinated.
"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading!"
There was no imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, so when people listened to this poem, which was actually a poem praising the imperial examination system, they felt as pure as modern people.
After removing the smell of imperial examinations, the expectations expressed in this poem are enough to make anyone who knows a few words, especially the scholars of the Han Dynasty, excited!
Sima Lin felt ashamed and said: "The lower official still relied on his family's academic background and looked down on the orders of the great farmers. Only then did he realize his own shallowness and actually mistook technology for witchcraft!"
"Yes, so am I." Wei Qing touched his nose, "When I first arrived on the Fairy Island, I mistakenly thought that the fine seeds were the Fairyland. It was really ridiculous!"
Of course, Liu Che's performance was not much better than Wei Qing's, and the general was no longer "a taboo for his lord" at this time.
